Chapter 484: You Dare to Covet My Body

"Yutong, look here!"

Detecting the problem with Gu Yutong, the Gu Yutong before him was still herself; the fragment of soul deep within her Spiritual Sea was still slumbering.

Yet that fragment of soul seemed to have already begun to establish a connection with her; in other words, that remnant soul was subtly infecting Gu Yutong.

Perhaps at some moment in the future, when this remnant soul grew stronger and its encroachment upon Gu Yutong reached a certain degree, it would bare its fangs and easily devour Gu Yutong completely.

Fortunately, the other party had not yet begun to act, and everything could still be salvaged.

Raising the bronze mirror in his hand, Shen Yu shone it directly at Gu Yutong. The Soul Reflection Mirror could probe the deepest parts of the soul; even if the other party hid as tightly as possible, it would be of no use.

As if stimulated by the power of the Soul Reflection Mirror, or perhaps sensing a fatal threat, the remnant soul hidden deep within Gu Yutong's Spiritual Sea suddenly erupted.

Almost in an instant, it completely suppressed Gu Yutong's original consciousness and easily seized control of her body.

Within a brief moment, Gu Yutong first struggled in terror, then her gaze instantly turned icy, which meant that in this short struggle, Gu Yutong had suffered a total defeat.

Truly worthy of being an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years; as expected, its first move was extraordinary.

"Brat, you're meddling in other people's business!"

This time, Gu Yutong's voice seemed to have changed; it was more irritable and angry, devoid of its usual gentleness, and the tone carried a sense of coldness and a hint of condescension.

Looking coldly at Shen Yu, that gaze filled with killing intent seemed as if it wanted to swallow him alive, and Shen Yu retorted just as unceremoniously.

If she were in her prime, Shen Yu might have had three parts of caution, but as she was now, she was nothing more than a remnant soul that could dissipate at any moment, so what the hell was he afraid of.

Through the Soul Reflection Mirror, Shen Yu could clearly sense the other party's current state.

To call the other party a remnant soul was already a stretch; only a tiny bit of power remained, as if any slight abnormality could cause it to collapse and dissipate.

However, even so, Shen Yu still dared not underestimate her. The fact that the other party could easily occupy Gu Yutong's body after sensing danger already spoke for itself.

The power of the inheritance had made Gu Yutong, but it had also left behind a fatal hidden danger. The more she mastered this power, the more dangerous it meant she was.

Just like now, the power of the inheritance had almost merged with Gu Yutong, and the consciousness lurking in her body naturally had easy control over this power, which in turn could easily suppress Gu Yutong herself.

If not for this, it would likely not have been easy for the other party to attempt possession with only that little bit of remnant power, or perhaps it would have been impossible to achieve at all.

At this moment, "Gu Yutong" appeared extremely irritable; she sensed her current situation, and it was not just a little bit different from what she had expected.

Although the slumber during this period had nourished her, the time was, after all, too short, and she had gained very little.

It was far from the day she was supposed to awaken; with her current Mental Power, she didn't even need anyone else to act—she could collapse and dissipate at any moment.

What's more, there was someone right in front of her eyeing her covetously, and the culprit behind everything was this person right before her.

She had seen this person before; they had had a fleeting encounter when she was slipping into this body.

It was just that after she entered this body, she fell into a deep sleep, and she knew nothing of what happened afterward.

Her reason for choosing to inject all the power of her original body into this one was, in a way, to nourish this body so that her starting point would be higher when she performed the possession.

Besides, the process of the little girl in this body working hard to practice her arts was, in a way, a process of nourishing her remnant soul.

The stronger the little girl's strength, the stronger her own soul power would become, and once her soul power reached a certain level, she would awaken automatically.

By then, she could quietly lay out various schemes. At that time, as long as she wished, she could completely annihilate the original consciousness of this body in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

Unlike now, where she only suppressed the other party's Mental Power, leaving the possibility of a counterattack at any time.

Only by annihilating the original soul and absorbing the other party's memories could she truly take her place.

Then the person in front of her must absolutely not be left alive; the fact that she had taken the place of this body must not be known by others, at least not for now.

"You're thinking of killing me, aren't you?" Noticing the change in the other party's gaze, Shen Yu couldn't help but grin.

He had seen such gazes many times, not to mention he possessed Super Perception. Moreover, the other party's gaze was far too obvious; big sister, can't you even bother to hide it?

These old monsters have perhaps been high and mighty for too long, they don't even know what it means to feign weakness.

Holding the Soul Reflection Mirror, Shen Yu would tell her with reality: you're dreaming!

The light of the Soul Reflection Mirror enveloped Gu Yutong, instantly illuminating that wisp of remnant soul, and then the power of the Soul Reflection Mirror activated, instantly imprisoning it.

"How is this possible!" Sensing the sudden change, the other party's expression changed drastically. Her Mental Power had actually been imprisoned; how could this be, where did the other party get such a method?

Just a moment ago, she had sensed danger, thinking it was only an instinctive reaction after being attacked.

But now it seemed the other party truly had methods, and this time what she felt was a suppression that seemed to be at the level of life itself, as if she had no possibility of resistance at all.

This feeling was something she hadn't experienced in a long time!

"Wait, don't act, you will hurt her if you do this; she is your little lover, right!"

Caressing her own face, Gu Yutong's expression shifted several times, and finally, as if she had Shen Yu figured out, a smug smile appeared on her face.

"Do you know that soul power is both powerful and fragile? Now that I have merged with her, if you target me, one careless move and she will be implicated!"

"You must know that once Mental Power is damaged, your little lover might become an idiot!"

"Think about such a beautiful face, such perfect features; once she becomes an idiot, she will show a silly, foolish smile every day, and might not even be able to handle eating, drinking, or relieving herself on her own."

"She might even drool every day while staring blankly at everyone; who knows, she might even be tricked out of her body for a little snack. Don't you think that's a pity when you think about that scene!"

"You're overthinking it; annihilating you is easy, and it won't hurt Yutong. Besides, I don't think this is what Yutong would want!"

"Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions!" Quietly, the "Gu Yutong" opposite him unfastened her outer garment, with much of her fair, crystalline skin exposed.

At this moment, she was full of charm, vastly different from before, with her eyes and brows filled with allure.

"This body is still a virgin; it seems your little lover has always been keeping herself pure, which is no good. How about I help you? Actually, we can live in peace; in the future, everything I have can be yours!"

"Pah, you dare to covet my body; you're dreaming!"

If the person in front of him were just Gu Yutong, Shen Yu would certainly have thoughts; everyone loves beauty, and he wasn't blind—did she think he didn't want to?

With such a great beauty swaying in front of him every day, that was only because his willpower was high; try swapping in someone else and see who could hold back.

But if an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years was living in this body, then he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Once he thought about how the other party was older than his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, and might stab him at any moment, and who knew when she would devour him completely, he was sure all thoughts would vanish.

If he didn't have the Soul Reflection Mirror, his forceful intervention might have implicated Gu Yutong.

But now he held a sharp weapon, and the Soul Reflection Mirror was enough to resolve all worries. So what the hell was he afraid of? Do her!

Under the effect of the Soul Reflection Mirror, the other party's only bit of remnant soul power collapsed and dissipated almost instantly; she tried to use the power of this body, only to find that her remnant soul seemed to have been imprisoned.

She took a deep look at Shen Yu; she had marked this bastard down!

At this moment, she still had one final move: severing the tail to survive!

She severed the majority of her imprisoned remnant soul, fleeing with only a tiny fragment, but how much of her remaining Mental Power would be left was unknown, and it was even uncertain if she would ever be able to wake up again.

Yet, things having reached this point, she had no other choice!

She severed her final Mental Power, even detonating it to win herself a glimmer of survival. But before she could successfully escape, she was imprisoned once again.

Besides that familiar power of imprisonment originating from the bronze mirror, there seemed to be the power of an Array as well. With the two combined, she understood that she could not escape, but this Array...

"It is an Ancient Array, impossible, impossible..."

"An Ancient Array?" He raised an eyebrow slightly; this was just a Rune Array he had hastily set up on the fly to prevent the other party from escaping.

Seeing this person's reaction, he knew that the Fragmentary Chapters of Array Dao he had obtained were truly extraordinary.

Before Shen Yu could finish lamenting, the remnant soul opposite him had already self-detonated. For these proud people, dying by their own hands was always better than perishing at the hands of others.

"Everything is a scam, you cannot escape, I will be waiting for you!"

"A scam?" The words left behind by the remnant soul before its self-detonation filled Shen Yu with doubt. "What the hell, at least explain yourself clearly before you die!"
