Chapter 1114

Gu Qing frowned.

She had not lost her memory.

She knew exactly what this fury of hers was about.

So she immediately used the Cleansing Body Technique on herself, and her anger lessened considerably.

But it could not be removed completely.

After all, the Provocation Technique was an intermediate spiritual technique, while the Cleansing Body Technique was only a beginner-level one.

It could reduce the effect, but could not fully dispel it.

But this was enough.

Gu Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, "Where is my lord? Where did he go?"

Zhao Chi was stunned. "Isn't that me? Zhao Chi is over there."

Zhao Chi pointed at Tang Ruan behind them.

Tang Ruan stuck out her tongue, still a little afraid Gu Qing would scold her.

Yet Gu Qing felt not the slightest anger toward that real Tang Ruan behind her.

Qi Yue stepped back two paces, looking in astonishment at the Tang Ruans on both sides.

Then she said to Zhao Chi, "Wow, Tang Ruan, your skill is really something — they're practically identical. My lord looks just like you too, all dopey."

The real Tang Ruan said, "What are you saying, Qi Yue? You're the dopey one."

Qi Yue was clearly very confused.

"Huh? You're the real Tang Ruan? I don't buy it. My lord, please don't joke with me."

The look Qi Yue cast over was full of tenderness and love, with a hint of coquettishness mixed in.

Tang Ruan stared blankly, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body.

"Ugh~~ Qi Yue, you're so gross."

Qi Yue was taken aback. "Huh? You're really Tang Ruan?"

But she still found it utterly unbelievable.

Zhuang Ya stood with arms crossed, also looking back and forth between the two sides.

She had a base Intelligence of 8 points, and was very confident in her intuition.

Yet this time even she felt extremely perplexed.

Rationally, the Tang Ruan standing where Zhao Chi had originally been was absolutely Zhao Chi.

But her intuition told her that one was actually Tang Ruan, and the Tang Ruan behind them was Zhao Chi.

With reason and intuition colliding, Zhuang Ya found it very hard to choose.

Gu Qing actually couldn't tell them apart either.

She was relying on Zhao Chi's words to judge.

After all, Tang Ruan wouldn't dare address Gu Qing by name directly.

Gu Qing treated them very well, and Tang Ruan and the others also trusted and were very friendly toward Gu Qing, always feeling a natural suppressive pressure like that of a proper wife over a group of concubines.

So when Zhao Chi directly called Gu Qing by name, she could make the judgment.

It seemed this skill was not perfect after all.

But this was enough.

On the battlefield, it would be nearly impossible to counter.

When would there ever be time to explain things on the battlefield?

As long as it was useful on the battlefield, it was a good skill.

Zhao Chi said, "Gu Qing, try casting the Cleansing Body Technique on me and see whether this Flesh-and-Blood Wedding Dress can be dispelled."

Gu Qing nodded, but the fury in her eyes still had not been completely erased.

Light flashed.

Zhao Chi was still Tang Ruan.

It seemed spiritual techniques could not dispel sorcery.

No, that conclusion could not yet be drawn.

It should be said that the beginner-level Cleansing Body Technique could not dispel Tang Ruan's sorcery.

The confusion lasted for a while.

Ten minutes later, the effect wore off.

Zhao Chi suddenly felt his body being tightly constricted.

Just like that first time when he had entered them.

Everything was cramped.

At this moment, he stretched with force, and only heard a "Riiip—" sound, immediately feeling the tightness lessen considerably.

He reached out and pulled, and there was another "Riiip—".

Tang Ruan's skin was torn off.

Everyone's perception of him immediately corrected itself.

Everyone was exclaiming in wonder.

Zhao Chi nodded. "Tang Ruan, your skill is really excellent. Let me tell you my experience, so that when you use it on enemies in the future, you can handle it even more skillfully."

Tang Ruan smiled and nodded. "Okay, thank you, my lord."

Zhao Chi had a total of four takeaways.

One: the target's mind and spirit were normal, but their sense of identity was confused. They would instinctively refer to themselves as Tang Ruan, and refer to Tang Ruan as themselves.

2. It can directly transfer the negative effects on Tang Ruan to the target.

3. The people around them will instinctively treat the target as Tang Ruan. And after each of them analyzes it with their own reason, they will still treat the target as Tang Ruan. This point is quite good.

4. This isn't a spiritual technique, so spiritual pressure didn't work. The duration just now was exactly 10 minutes, not a second more. Future skill duration estimates need to be noted.

Tang Ruan listened and nodded repeatedly.

The other women also each added their own insights.

Making this skill's effect more three-dimensional.

Tang Ruan kept thanking them, then smiled lightly at Gu Qing: "Sister Gu, you're not angry anymore, right?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Honestly, just a little, but it's much better. But I wasn't deliberately angry at you—it's the skill's effect. Zaidengyi Society will dispel it, so you don't need to worry."

Tang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuang Ya asked: "Tang Ruan, can this skill of yours only be used on humans? Can it be used on an empty target? That way I won't have to keep taking your jade armor. But it's not that I'm unwilling—on the contrary, I'm very willing—it's just that I feel a bit sorry for you."

Zhao Chi also nodded.

"Mm… then let me try."

Tang Ruan tried to activate it again, selecting an empty target.

Whoosh!

Tang Ruan disappeared.

Only leaving behind a cloud of blood mist on the spot, and… an extremely complete jade armor.

Zhao Chi looked at the jade armor on the ground and suddenly felt very confused.

When did Tang Ruan become so flat?

Has she always been like this?

No! No!

What kind of spiritual technique is this?

Qi Yue was also very surprised.

She looked at the jade armor on the ground and asked in confusion: "Tang Ruan? What's wrong with you? Why did you burrow into the ground?"

The jade armor naturally couldn't answer.

Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya were also puzzled.

They also hadn't figured out what had happened.

However, in just 6 seconds.

Everyone immediately realized this was Tang Ruan's jade armor.

But just now… they really did treat it as Tang Ruan herself.

Tang Ruan was already 10 meters away.
