Chapter 501: Retrieving the Human Body
“Thank you, Young Master. In that case, Shisanniang will shamelessly accept it!”
Xin Shisanniang happily accepted the Xihe sword.
“Alright, let’s eat!”
Seeing that the other women didn’t seem dissatisfied, Lin Fan nodded with relief. Harmony is the greatest happiness. He would obtain more treasures in the future, and everyone would have a share.
“Lin Fan, can you take me to the Yin Moon Dynasty to retrieve my physical body?”
During the meal, Xu Xu Xiyuan suddenly said to Lin Fan.
“Sure, we’ll go after we finish eating.”
Lin Fan nodded. It was better to retrieve Xu Xu Xiyuan’s body sooner; she was human, and using a fox demon’s body was a bit strange.
“Do you want to come out and see today?”
After the meal, Lin Fan asked Lin Lin Chaoying and the others.
“I want to go out and see!”
“Me too!”
Except for Lin Lin Chaoying and Yao Yue, who wanted to go out, the other women didn’t want to. Huang Rong, Cai Yi, and Shisanniang didn’t plan to go out today either; they were staying behind to prepare lunch.
“You all refine the Immortal Pulse Pills first. I’ll go out after you finish refining them!”
Lin Fan had Zhao Zhao Linger and the others take the Immortal Pulse Pills, then took out the Eastern Flowing Light Zither and played “Spring Snow” to help them refine the pills with the zither music.
After Zhao Zhao Linger and the others finished refining the pills, Lin Fan took the women out of the small world.
“Let’s go to the Yin Moon Dynasty first. Xu Xiyuan, you lead the way!”
Lin Fan opened a large mana hand, grabbed the women, and performed the Immortal Light Escape toward the Yin Moon Dynasty.
“Is this the place?”
Three minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at a place with craggy rocks. Lin Yueru asked curiously, as it looked very desolate and didn’t seem to have any traces of the Yin Moon Dynasty.
“You have to use your heart!”
Lin Fan said, waving his hand. A barrier appeared out of thin air, which Lin Fan casually broke, and he walked in leisurely, with the women following closely behind.
“Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Yin Moon Dynasty!”
Since Lin Fan and his group walked in so openly, they were naturally discovered by the people of the Yin Moon Dynasty, and a group of people blocked them.
“Nie Nie Xiaoqian, you actually brought people into the Yin Moon Dynasty privately. You have some nerve!”
Soon, someone recognized Xu Xu Xiyuan and began to question her.
“Nie Xiaoqian, you’re back? Are you here to retrieve your physical body?”
Just then, Brother Qiye walked out. It seemed their travel speed was quite good; they had returned quickly.
“Yes, Brother Brother Qiye. Have you retrieved your own physical body?”
Xu Xu Xiyuan didn’t dwell on the fact that Brother Qiye still called her Nie Xiaoqian and asked curiously.
“I retrieved it, but the Empress won’t tell me how to swap bodies, so I can’t switch back.”
Brother Qiye was silent for a moment, then said helplessly.
“Ah? Isn’t the Empress possessed by the Moon Demon? Didn’t you take action against her?”
Xu Xu Xiyuan was surprised; she thought Empress Empress Yinyue had already been subdued by Brother Qiye.
“She is, after all, my mother… foster mother. I can’t bring myself to act against her; I’ve only imprisoned her.”
Brother Qiye hesitated. He was a person who valued emotions, so even though Empress Empress Yinyue’s original purpose in adopting him was impure and she had swapped his body, the mother-son bond of so many years made it impossible for him to let go.
“Then what should we do? If she won’t tell you how to swap bodies, doesn’t that mean I can’t switch back either?”
Xu Xu Xiyuan was anxious; her purpose in returning was to swap back her body.
“What is she? Extracting souls and swapping bodies is just a minor trick. Who said it had to be her?”
Lin Fan sneered disdainfully. Xu Xu Xiyuan was just worried and confused. With him, a Celestial Immortal, by her side, why would she need to beg others?
“Lin Fan, then can you extract the Moon Demon from my mother’s body?”
Xu Xu Xiyuan beamed with joy upon hearing this, and even Brother Qiye’s eyes lit up as he suddenly asked Lin Fan.
“I can, but why should I help you?”
Lin Fan looked at Brother Qiye playfully; he didn’t seem to have any obligation to help him.
“Please!”
Brother Qiye prepared to kneel to Lin Fan. He couldn’t bear to hurt Empress Empress Yinyue, but the Moon Demon was of the Heavenly Demon clan and was ambitious; she had to be killed. He was now in a dilemma, and the only way to break the situation was through Lin Fan, so he could only beg him.
“Alright, I’ll help you.”
Lin Fan stopped Brother Qiye. Since he was so filial, it wouldn’t hurt to fulfill his filial piety.
Then Lin Fan followed Brother Qiye to Empress Empress Yinyue’s sleeping quarters.
“Brother Qiye, either kill me or let me go. Empress Empress Yinyue and I share one body and life; if I live, she lives, and if I die, she dies. You can’t do anything to me.”
Empress Empress Yinyue was currently facing away from the group. Hearing footsteps, the Moon Demon thought Brother Qiye was still unwilling to give up and wanted her to leave Empress Empress Yinyue’s body, so she mocked him.
“A mere Heavenly Demon, a frog in a well, come out!”
Lin Fan’s figure disappeared from where he stood, and in the next second, he appeared beside Empress Empress Yinyue, pressing a palm onto her head and forcibly sucking the Moon Demon out of her body.
“Impossible, who are you? Are you an Earth Immortal? No, you are a Celestial Immortal!”
The Moon Demon, caught in Lin Fan’s hand, turned into a ball of demonic energy that fluctuated. She struggled desperately but could not escape from Lin Fan’s grasp.
Panicked, she discovered the immortal energy contained in Lin Fan’s mana and realized his true strength.
“You don’t need to know.”
Lin Fan finished speaking and turned his palm into a fist. The demonic energy in his palm instantly vanished, and the Moon Demon’s soul was destroyed.
“Alright, now bring out Xu Xiyuan’s physical body!”
Lin Fan turned to Brother Qiye and said.
“Hmm?”
“It’s still in the Illusion Wave Pool. I found I couldn’t swap back, so to avoid damaging the body, I put it back.”
Brother Qiye was stunned. The Moon Demon, whom he had tried everything to deal with, was so easily resolved by Lin Fan. The gap between them was too large, so it took a moment for him to come to his senses after Lin Fan asked again.
“This is the place!”
Brother Qiye led Lin Fan and the others to a pool of green water and pointed to the bottom of the pool.
Lin Fan nodded and beckoned. Xu Xu Xiyuan’s human body slowly rose from the bottom of the pool, and he summoned Xu Xu Xiyuan’s soul out of the demon body and into the human body.
Then, Xu Xu Xiyuan’s human body, dressed in white, opened its eyes, while her demon body slowly collapsed.
“Great, I’m not a monster, I’m a human! Is this my original body? It feels so good!”
Xu Xu Xiyuan touched her body curiously and said excitedly.
“It wouldn’t be good if Shisanniang and Cai Yi heard you say that!”
Zhao Zhao Linger couldn’t help but gently remind Xu Xu Xiyuan. Xu Xu Xiyuan realized that there were monsters at home, and fortunately, they hadn’t come out today.
“Brother Qiye, do you want to swap back to your human body?”
Since he had saved the person, he might as well see it through. Since Empress Empress Yinyue was saved, Lin Fan didn’t mind lending a hand.
“Thank you very much!”
Brother Qiye nodded in thanks; after all, he also wanted to restore his original body.
