A moment later.
The morning light spilled over the glazed tiles of the Su family's old mansion. Qin Luo was squatting in the courtyard, airing the washed sheets.
Water droplets rolled off the pure white fabric, leaving traces of varying shades on the bluestone bricks.
"Luoo—Luoo—"
A echoing call came from above. Qin Luo looked up and saw Su Muwan's soul body hanging upside down on the branch of the locust tree.
The translucent spiritual body glowed with a luster like mother-of-pearl. When her hair tips drooped, they brought up tiny ice crystals, which refracted a rainbow-like halo in the morning sun.
He turned his head to look at Su Muwan's physical body.
There she was.
With one eye closed and a smug look on her face. Qin Luo twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Miss, can you not leave your body unless it's necessary?"
Because the cold poison was dispelled last night, Su Muwan had yet another breakthrough.
She could now directly separate her soul from her body.
"Humph!"
Hearing this.
The soul body of Su Muwan hanging upside down on the branch grinned smugly and said, "What do you know, Qin Luo? I'm practicing using the abilities of my soul body!"
"Watch this!"
Saying that.
Su Muwan's soul body suddenly split into seven phantoms, each taking a different pose.
Some were standing on one leg on the treetop, some were lying on the stone table, poking at the chrysanthemum tea he had just brewed, and the naughtiest phantom was trying to engrave words on the clothesline with ice.
Seeing this.
Darkness swirled around Qin Luo's fingertips. Vines of black mist wrapped around the soul body that was engraving words, and he said helplessly, "Miss, what do you mean by engraving 'Property of the Martial Arts Supreme' on my glove?"
"This is a strategic deterrent!"
The soul body tied up like a cocoon wriggled defiantly and said, "So that certain people won't always be stared at by that barefoot slut."
What on earth was this barefoot slut?
Qin Luo raised his hands in surrender and said, "Miss, I really have no interest in other people's feet."
"Look at my innocent eyes..."
"Hehe..."
The other phantoms burst into laughter. The physical body was sitting on the stone steps under the corridor, resting her chin on her hand. The ice crystals in her hair tinkled with her laughter.
She was wearing a moon-white gown with wide sleeves today. The hem of the dress was embroidered with flowing patterns, as if the whole starry sky had been cut into a piece of clothing.
Seeing this.
Qin Luo suddenly released the dark restraint. The soul body let out a cry and fell into the pile of airing sheets.
The cotton cloth wrapped around the translucent spiritual body and rolled into a snowball, scaring away the sparrows resting under the eaves.
"Qin! Luo! What do you mean by that!"
Three soul shadows pounced on him at the same time, but turned into a puff of smoke when they touched Qin Luo's shoulders and back.
The real soul body had already passed through his chest. The cold spiritual body was breathing against his earlobe and said, "Got you~"
"Didn't expect I could do this, did you?"
The soul body half-passed through Qin Luo's chest and was pressing against his earlobe.
It gave an extremely strange visual impact.
Hearing this, Qin Luo raised his eyebrows.
The power of darkness condensed into a hand and gently pinched the physical body's chubby cheek. Su Muwan under the corridor let out a scream and jumped up.
The soul body took the opportunity to float into the air with the sheets in its arms and shook the cotton cloth into flying snowflakes, throwing them at Qin Luo.
"Ha ha ha!"
"Take this! The Cold Sky Silk Array!"
But just as she threw them out.
Suddenly, shadowy tentacles emerged from the fluttering cloth, instantly binding the soul floating in mid - air.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Luo tugged on the black - fog rope and pulled the soul back to the ground.
The moment it landed on the ground.
The soul suddenly turned intangible and passed through the bluestone floor tiles with the bedsheet.
Qin Luo was helpless. How could it even burrow into the ground?
"Hehe..."
Su Muwan's soul popped out its head, and she said proudly with a smile, "Admit defeat, Qin Luo."
Hearing this, Qin Luo flicked the head that the soul had popped out and said, "Can you stop playing around, young lady? I want to dry the quilt."
"Humph!"
"The affairs of the Martial Arts Supreme are none of your business. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
As she said this.
The soul made a face and floated into the air, but suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
Su Muwan's physical body had somehow crept up to the clothesline. She was standing on tiptoe, sniffing the collar of his shirt. "There's the fragrance of my plum blossoms, and also some strange smell..."
She frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "It seems to be the smell of that evil flower from Illusory Star City..."
Qin Luo raised his eyebrows. "You can even smell that. I've made that thing into a shadow creature and sent it to work as a beast of burden."
"Also..."
As he spoke.
A hand formed by shadows supported her lower back, and Qin Luo enclosed her in his arms in this position. "Do you want to check for yourself, young lady?"
His warm breath brushed against the ice crystals in her hair. "See whose smell is still on me?"
!!
The tips of Su Muwan's ears on her physical body turned pink. Her soul suddenly wrapped around his neck from behind. "I'll check then!"
The cold spiritual body and the soft physical body pressed against him at the same time, and the ice crystals in her hair tinkled.
"The smell here... and here..."
"Luoluo... Being hugged by two 'me's at the same time, aren't you very comfortable?"
"Miss... Can you not say such strange things..."
The sound of their frolicking scared the koi in the pond to hide under the duckweed.
It wasn't until late in the morning that the urgent vibrating of the phone broke the charming atmosphere in the courtyard.
Su Muwan's soul was holding a sugar - coated fruit skewer made of Qin Luo's shadow. Hearing the sound, she picked up the phone and handed it to Qin Luo. "Here, Luoluo."
"Okay, young lady."
Qin Luo took the phone and then looked at Su Muwan's physical body speechlessly. "Do you really have to control both bodies, young lady?"
"Humph!"
Su Muwan's physical body closed one eye and said playfully, "Don't you think it's..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Muwan's soul continued, "Especially interesting?"
Alright then.
Since the young lady was like this, he'd just let her be.
However, such a young lady was also very cute.
Thinking this.
Qin Luo glanced at the phone screen and looked a bit surprised.
Click.
He answered the call and said, "Why did you suddenly call, President Long?"
Long Dingtian was the president of the Antique Merchants Association.
Come to think of it, he owed it to this person for bringing the seed of the Sky Dream Tree before, which allowed him to confess his love to Su Muwan properly.
"Master Qin..."
Long Dingtian's hesitant voice came through. "Long Aotian has come from Wang City..."
Long Aotian?
Qin Luo was taken aback.
The head of the Long Family in Wang City?
Although he had always heard about this person before, he had never met him.
More importantly, it seemed that this person was... Long Dingtian's biological father?
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So?"
"I don't know what to do..."
"He abandoned my mother and me back then, but now he has come looking for us again."
"He explained the reasons from back then..."
"I... I was really shocked... and my mother also nodded, saying it was true."
Qin Luo's eyes showed a look of realization. In short, was this some kind of family ethics drama?
"So the misunderstanding is resolved. Then why are you still asking me?"
As his voice fell.
Long Dingtian's pained voice came through, "Long Aotian... doesn't have much time left."
"I'd like to ask Master Qin to step in and save him."
Long Dingtian was in a very complicated mood.
After all, Long Aotian, who had fathered children all over the place, had abandoned him and his mother back then.
Even though the misunderstanding was resolved now, he still couldn't bring himself to accept him.
But...
When he saw the other person on the verge of death, Long Dingtian just couldn't harden his heart.
Moreover, it was quite nerve - wracking for him to ask Master Qin to save a member of a faction that had a feud with them before.
He was extremely worried about whether Master Qin would agree.
You know.
Long Aotian was quite special.
He was not only the head of the Long Family but also the disciple of the former Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace.
Long Dingtian knew that the new Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace had been thrown into the river to feed the sharks because he had offended Miss Su.
To this day, his bones couldn't even be found.
So that's what it was about.
Hearing this, Qin Luo nodded and said, "Got it. I'll come later."
"!!"
"Thank you, Master Qin!"
Click, the phone call ended.
A strange look flashed in Qin Luo's eyes.
Long Aotian...
The head of the Long Family and also closely related to the Dragon King Palace.
This was interesting.
His Shadow Organization was just worried about not having enough members, and Long Aotian was coming at just the right time.
In addition...
Qin Luo opened the panel, and there was a quiet item lying in the backpack.
This War God Temple also had to be absorbed into the Shadow Organization.
After all, it had once been the most powerful faction of the two T0 protagonists.
It would be a waste not to take it.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
