Chapter 417: My Name is Chixiao

This world was empty, and standing before him was a woman. This woman was the very person who had sat up inside Meng Huiyu's body; she wore antique-style clothing, and it was unknown which dynasty she came from.

Moreover, her gaze was cold and sharp, as if she could annihilate all things within a single thought.

"Who are you? Why are you possessing someone else's body?" Chen Yu watched this woman with full vigilance, for she could erupt and hurt someone at any moment.

"So, a thousand years have already passed." The woman closed her eyes, seemingly digesting Meng Huiyu's memories.

Chen Yu stared at her, his brows locked tight; he realized he seemed to have provoked an extremely formidable figure.

"Junior, was it you who awakened me?" The woman opened her eyes and looked toward Chen Yu.

"I awakened you unintentionally; who exactly are you?" Chen Yu asked, filled with shock and suspicion.

"My original name is Chixiao. A thousand years ago, I controlled a sect named 'Red Moon'. While in seclusion attempting to break through my realm, I was ambushed. Before my soul and form were completely destroyed, I sealed my Soul Consciousness into the Red Moon Sect's supreme treasure, the Chiyue Heavenly Bead, to recuperate."

"Now I can finally condense into a human form; I didn't expect that a thousand years had already passed." The woman murmured her own origins.

"So that's how it is. If it weren't for you, the owner of that body would have already died, right?" Chen Yu understood. He suddenly felt a sense of resonance; this Chixiao's experience was very similar to his own—both were living by borrowing a body.

"Yes." Chixiao nodded. She stared at Chen Yu: "I need to borrow her body to wake up, and then slowly recover my cultivation, but you must lend me a hand."

"That is not very good." Chen Yu shook his head: "You have no right to use someone else's body."

Chixiao stared at Chen Yu. Suddenly, she laughed: "And what about you? Aren't you also reborn by borrowing a body? You can live on in this world using someone else's body, why can't I?"

Chen Yu was left speechless. That's right, wasn't he also just barely surviving in this world?

"I can help you, but there is one condition." Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The owner of this body is named Meng Huiyu, and her husband loves her very much. After you wake up, you must live as Meng Huiyu."

"Impossible. I have more important things to do. A thousand years have passed, and this world has undergone many changes. Are the people who harmed me back then still alive? Is the Red Moon Sect still around? These are all things I need to do. You want me to live as a mortal with a mortal? What are you thinking?"

Chixiao directly rejected Chen Yu's request. She was a Dharma Cultivator, and her pride did not allow her to live using someone else's identity.

"Even if you are reborn by borrowing a body, there are many things you cannot do. I am not asking you to be like this forever, just temporarily, at least to give Wu Zhangbo a psychological transition period," Chen Yu said.

"Dream on." Chixiao sneered.

"If you don't have my help, you can only be trapped in her body forever, unable to wake up, until she dies completely." Chen Yu said coldly: "I am not discussing this with you, but demanding it of you."

"No one has ever dared to demand such things of me." Chixiao was furious.

"You have no choice." Chen Yu smiled: "Think about it carefully yourself. However, if I leave this time, it will likely be difficult for you to encounter me again. Think it through."

The expression on Chixiao's face was uncertain. She stared fixedly at Chen Yu, and finally, she let out a cold snort: "Fine, I agree to your terms."

"What if you go back on your word?" Chen Yu asked.

"I, Chixiao, never go back on my word," Chixiao said coldly.

"Very well. You will wake up soon. You must remember your promise. I have the means to wake you up, and I have the means to erase your Spirit Sense and make you a mortal," Chen Yu warned.

Chixiao was furious: "Since I have given my word, I will certainly do it. Get out."

A strand of Divine Sense drove Chen Yu out of this black-and-white world.

In reality, Chen Yu let out a muffled groan and staggered back several steps.

"Mr. Chen, are you alright?" Wu Zhangbo was startled.

"I'm fine." Chen Yu's face was somewhat pale. He took a breath to calm his chaotic Primordial Qi. This was his first time encountering a true Dharma Cultivator, and one whose level was at least the Primordial Qi Realm or higher.

That feeling of being high above and looking down on all living beings made Chen Yu feel alarmed. If she hadn't been asleep for so long and lost almost all her cultivation, Chen Yu truly wouldn't have been able to handle her.

"Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?" Wu Zhangbo asked in shock.

"Some things are hard to explain to you clearly." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "I can make her wake up, and she will be in good health, with no problems at all."

"Really? Then I leave it to you, Mr. Chen. I will never forget your great kindness." Wu Zhangbo was both shocked and overjoyed.

"But there are some things you must know." Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "After I finish speaking, you can decide whether or not to wake her up."

"What is it, Mr. Chen? Are there any other problems? If it's about the medical fees, please don't worry. As long as she is safe and sound, you can name your price; our Shengjing Wu Family will certainly be able to afford it." Wu Zhangbo was slightly stunned.

"It's not a problem of medical fees." Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Your wife has been a vegetable for these past few years. Although she hasn't woken up during these years, her body has already undergone some changes." Chen Yu was organizing his words to explain to him.

"Then what is the problem? Mr. Chen, as long as she can wake up, I can accept any outcome." Wu Zhangbo looked at Chen Yu earnestly.

"Very well, then I will speak the truth." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "Actually, looking at your wife's condition, she should have already died three years ago."

"What did you say? That's impossible. She has brea... thing, she has sensations, and the electrocardiogram is also there. How could she have died three years ago?" Wu Zhangbo was shocked; he could not accept this fact no matter what.

"I know, if I tell the truth, you definitely won't be able to accept it, but there are some things I must tell you," Chen Yu said: "She truly and definitely died three years ago, or rather, as early as three years ago, the soul that originally belonged to her had already gone to Reincarnation."

With a thud, Wu Zhangbo collapsed heavily onto the sofa to the side. His face was filled with shock; he could not accept this fact.

"The reason she can maintain her current state, with breathing and a heartbeat, lying here like a vegetable, is because a special situation occurred with her. I can make her wake up now, but after she wakes up, she will no longer be the her from before. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Yu stared at Wu Zhangbo and asked.

"Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean." Wu Zhangbo closed his eyes, and tears fell involuntarily: "You mean, even if she wakes up, she will no longer be the her from before, right?"

"Correct. Her soul already belongs to another person, and this person is different from us ordinary people. If you want her to wake up, you must accept her other identity." Chen Yu looked at Wu Zhangbo, his expression showing some sympathy.

This man was very young, and for him to have such achievements at his age was truly extraordinary. Moreover, he had deep feelings for his wife; even though she had become a vegetable, he had not abandoned her for all these years. This was enough to show that he was a good man.

But unfortunately, things often went against one's wishes, and there were some things that no one could change.

"So these are the things I must tell you. If you want her to wake up, you must accept her current identity," Chen Yu said.

"Mr. Chen, no matter what, she is my wife. I believe her consciousness is just sleeping, and I have the confidence that one day I can make her own true consciousness wake up. So I hope you can wake her up. No matter what the result is, I can accept it."

"So, you have thought it through, is that right?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I have thought it through. Mr. Chen, please." Wu Zhangbo bowed slightly toward Chen Yu.

"Very well, I will wake her up now. You are prepared, right?" Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I am prepared. No matter what she has become, I will accept her." Wu Zhangbo nodded slightly, his attitude resolute.

Chen Yu nodded. He took out the Silver Needle and began the Acupuncture. In fact, Meng Huiyu should have died three years ago, but the Chiyue Heavenly Bead, which she had obtained unintentionally on her wrist, contained the sealed Soul Consciousness of Chixiao.

It was precisely this powerful cultivation of Chixiao that allowed Meng Huiyu's body to maintain its current state; otherwise, she would have long since ceased to exist in this world.

Chen Yu had unintentionally moved the Heavenly Bead, awakening the sleeping Chixiao. Now, he only needed to use the needles to pierce several of her major acupoints, and her consciousness would completely control this body. From then on, she would replace the original owner.

As Chen Yu pierced down with needle after needle, Meng Huiyu on the hospital bed finally had a reaction.

Her fingers moved a few times, and under Wu Zhangbo's gaze, she finally opened her eyes.

"Huiyu, you... have you finally woken up?" Wu Zhangbo walked forward excitedly, grabbing her hand.

Suddenly, the awakened Meng Huiyu knit her brows, a trace of killing intent flashing through her eyes; she flicked her right hand, and with a boom, an extremely powerful force surged out from her palm.

Wu Zhangbo's figure faltered, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string; thud, his head struck the bed heavily, and he fainted right away.
