“!” Pei Ling was shocked as cold sweat instantly gushed out.
Wu Liu tilted her head slightly, and her icy hand seemed to be caressing his cheek intimately as it moved up a little. She said softly, “Young Master Pei Ling, didn’t you say that you would tell me everything… Why aren’t you answering?”
As she spoke, her fingertip touched the space between Pei Ling’s eyebrows, and a chill struck through his flesh to the marrow of his bones. She said sweetly, “Do you want me to be like Sister Jiaoni and turn you into a lampshade, extract your soul and refine it into a lamp wick… only then will you tell me?”
“I…” Pei Ling wanted to explain himself, but he could barely manage to say a word before he got suppressed by an invisible pressure to the point that he could not move. He could only watch as the fingertip of Wu Liu moved slowly, going straight down from the middle of his eyebrows. This female ghost had extremely long black nails that were incomparably sharp. There was a faint blue glow on its surface. Although it did not really slice down, the feeling that it would peel off his skin in the next moment was real.
His heart palpitated, but he could not speak. Just then, Wu Liu suddenly chuckled as her voice turned soft. “Hmm. Do you know why Master… did not kill you on the spot previously?”
What?!
Pei Ling’s heart skipped a beat. If not for the fact that he was currently confined, he would have cried out in surprise.
This ghost knew?!
She actually knew everything?!
Then why didn’t they come out to save their Master previously?
Or is it because the Dark Bone Phantom Ship did not appear previously, so they could not come out?
Wu Liu was calm and unruffled as she admired his shocked expression. The curve of her lips became more and more obvious. “Interesting… This is really interesting… The Soul Suppression Bell’s Demon Sound Curse is something that even a Core Formation Stage cultivator like Luo Qiao can’t resist. But you are a mere fourth-level Qi Refinement cultivator, yet you’re acting as if nothing had happened… Not just our Master is interested in you, even the pitiful people like us who are imprisoned in the Soul Suppression Bell are curious about you.”
As she spoke, her stretched finger pressed against Pei Ling’s chest and said with a smile, “Tell me, what secrets do you have? How is the stability of your divine spirit better than Luo Qiao’s?”
“Miss Wuliu…” At this time, Pei Ling could finally speak. His face filled with fear, but an idea flashed through his mind. He stammered,” Maybe, maybe it’s my physique? I guess it might be a little special…? ”
Wu Liu, who had been absentmindedly scratching his clothes, stopped. She looked up. “Oh?”
“When I got ordered by Immortal Master Zheng to enter the Yuanlao Mountain to search for Wu Tingxi, he once said that I have a supreme-grade iron bone. He even asked me if I had consumed any natural treasures.” Pei Ling forced himself to calm down and said, “However, with my background, I have never even consumed a Bone Tempering Pill in the past. How could I have come into contact with any natural treasures? So Wu Tingxi speculated that my physique might be special.”
“I’m only from Deer Springs City with limited knowledge, and I’m not too sure of this!”
“Your physique?” Wu Liu frowned slightly and murmured to herself, “His divine spirit is especially stable, and he’s good at body tempering… I don’t think there’s anyone with such a physique in the records of the Holy Sect?”
She thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly brightened. She clapped her hands and said, “I know!”
The blue glow in the female ghost’s dark eyes brightened up instantly. It looked ghastly as she said sinisterly, “An unknown physique that’s so strong and special. You’re really worth bringing back to the Holy Sect for research.”
Before Pei Ling could react, Wu Liu had already circled him like a fish. She suddenly pulled up his left sleeve to look at the wound and revealed a disappointed look. “Although this wound heals quickly, it’s much inferior to the Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Body that the Holy Sect had obtained years ago.”
Her interest piqued. As she pulled open Pei Ling’s upper clothes to check on his injuries, she said, “At the time, the Holy Sect had put in a lot of effort to study that Myriad Wood Rejuvenating Body! In the beginning, they only scratched some skin and muscles. When they saw that person instantly recover to his original state, they began…”
“As for the last step… Don’t worry. Although my Master isn’t that elder’s disciple, she did learn a few saber techniques from that elder. If she peels off your skin, it will most definitely look perfect.”
“It’s just that your healing speed is too slow. I’m afraid you can’t be like that person with the Myriad Wood Rejuvenation Body.”
Pei Ling’s facial muscles twitched rapidly. What special physique did he have?!
The only special thing was that there was a system. The so-called powerful divine soul and good body tempering were all given by external modifications. If he really fell into a situation where he was deeply researched, according to the means of this demonic sect, Pei Ling was afraid that he would not even be able to survive the first stage.
What the heck, so after working hard for so long, he was still going to die?!
He forced a smile and said, “Lady Wuliu is right. I don’t have the Myriad Wood Rejuvenation Body. Not to mention being hit dozens of times in a row, I can’t even take a few cuts to my skin and muscles…”
“It’s okay. Your forte should be in the divine spirit,” Wu Liu said gleefully. “Speaking of it, the Holy Sect has also encountered a type of physique that is especially strong in the divine spirit. They are a pair of naturally telepathic twins! That time, it even alarmed a Grand Elder of the Holy Sect who had been in seclusion for a long time to extract their spirit personally…”
She then casually mentioned a few other unique physiques. Without exception, the outcome of falling into the hands of the Deep Sea Sect for him was that from his body to spirit, he would become disposed of in a way too horrible to describe.
The more Pei Ling listened, the paler his face became. Just as he was considering whether he should just take the opportunity to commit suicide and suffer less, Wu Liu’s expression suddenly sank as she cursed, “Wu Tingxi that bastard! He knew that your physique is special, a valuable material, but he still dared to use the Five Poison Finger to injure you! If he’s still alive, I will personally burn his soul in the lamp for three hundred years!!”
Suddenly, she raised his hand and slapped the back of Pei Ling’s neck.
Pei Ling only felt his vision go dark, and he knew nothing else…
After an unknown period of time, he woke up groggily. He felt that his muscles were incomparably sore as if he had been lying down for a long time. However, as he looked around, he realized that he was still in the cabin of the Dark Bone Phantom Ship.
Pei Ling was puzzled. He struggled to get up and quickly checked himself, discovering that the injuries of the Five Poison Finger had fully healed. Plus, he had his clothes changed and seemed to have taken a shower.
What made his scalp numb was that the Essence Augmenting Pill was still safely in his possession.
What is going on…?
He thought for a moment, loosened up his limbs, and walked to the back of the door. He held his breath and focused. After a while, seeing that it was quiet inside out, he carefully opened the door slightly.
After checking that no one was along the corridor, Pei Ling tiptoed out and knocked on Pei Hongnian’s door.
Pei Hongnian came over to open the door quickly. When he saw him, his expression darkened. He asked suspiciously, “What have you been doing in your room for the past two weeks? Why didn’t you answer when I knocked… Have you been cultivating?”
“Two weeks?” Pei Ling was startled. “It’s already been half a month?”
“It seems like you’re really cultivating to the point of forgetting yourself and losing track of time.” Pei Hongnian was both envious and jealous. He looked around to see that there was no one around and could not help but ask softly, “How many of the Bone Tempering Pills you stole from Senior Brother Zheng do you have left?”
Pei Ling did not have the heart to bother answering the question. He asked anxiously, “How much longer until we reach the Deep Sea Sect?”
“We are entering the mountain soon,” Pei Hongnian said casually. “But really, how many Bone Tempering Pills do you have left? How about selling them to me? We’re all from the same clan…”
Before he could finish, Pei Ling turned around and left without even greeting him.
Pei Ling still remembered what Wu Liu had said before he fainted. How could he be in the mood to waste his breath on Pei Hongnian now?
He had to think of a solution quickly!
As soon as he returned to his cabin, Pei Ling closed the door. When he turned around, his face turned white.
Not far away at the round table, a woman wearing a veiled hat and a black veil dress that stretched to the ground was sitting there. It was Fairy Li!
