With just a gentle press, the peerless jade body in my arms will turn to dust.
He Xi closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but her face held a relieved smile.
However, Lin Ci's hand, which was gathering energy, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
His dark pupils suddenly contracted, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his face.
Do I... have a sheep charm?
A feeling of being incredibly stupid instantly welled up inside me.
He remembered the sheep-shaped talisman he had forgotten in a corner, which was almost covered in dust.
Its ability is precisely—astral projection.
There is absolutely no need to kill the original body.
Damn it, I've been so long since I used it that I've completely forgotten about it.
Lin Ci felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched He Xi die peacefully, feeling both angry and amused.
He called out softly.
He Xi slowly opened her eyes, a hint of doubt in her beautiful blue eyes.
Why did he stop?
"Um... I think I... forgot something very important."
Lin Ci looked somewhat embarrassed.
He Xi's doubts deepened.
Lin Ci looked into her pure eyes and coughed lightly.
"I forgot I have an ability to directly extract your soul from your body without... dying."
He Xi: "?"
She blinked her azure eyes, momentarily stunned.
What about that atmosphere of life-and-death separation, of tragic sacrifice just now...?
The next second, Lin Ci's hand was already covering her forehead.
"It might seem a little strange, just bear with it."
A strange light appeared in his palm.
A soft, white light burst forth from Lin Ci's palm, illuminating the entire palace in a holy light.
He Xi felt an irresistible suction force coming from above her head, as if her entire consciousness was being pulled out of her body.
She looked down subconsciously.
All that could be seen was "himself" lying peacefully on the cloud bed.
Meanwhile, another version of myself, composed of light and shadow, floats lightly in mid-air.
She reached out her hand, only to find that it was translucent.
"I...I am...a soul now?"
He Xi's voice was filled with unbelievable surprise.
This feeling is so wonderful.
Freed from the constraints of her physical body, she felt lighter than ever before.
The speed at which thoughts operate has also reached an unprecedented level.
Lin Ci chuckled as he looked at her curious expression.
With a thought, the black mist representing "binding spirits and commanding generals" surged out from his palm once more.
The black mist, like a living venomous snake, instantly enveloped He Xi's translucent soul.
"Ju Ling dispatches generals!"
The process went incredibly smoothly.
When the black mist dissipated, He Xi's soul imprint was deeply imprinted in Lin Ci's soul sea.
Lin Ci could clearly feel that an absolute master-servant relationship had been established between herself and He Xi.
His mind started racing again.
"Containing the spirit and transforming it into reality."
"The spirit follows the initiative."
Two instructions were issued.
A burst of mysterious light flew out from his body and instantly merged into He Xi's soul.
Immediately following, another, even more magnificent, surged forth.
A torrent of golden energy, containing the power of five black holes, was also poured in.
He Xi's body gradually solidified.
The next second, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
An indescribable aura of terror erupted from her body.
The entire Heavenly Court of Merlo trembled violently under this force.
Countless angels looked in terror toward the direction of the Heavenly King's palace.
He Xi landed slowly, looking down at her incredibly solid hands.
She can feel it.
The overall structure of the universe, the direction of spacetime, and the laws governing matter.
It was as if everything had transformed into a clear picture, appearing in her mind.
She only needs a single thought to extinguish a star.
She only needs one look to make an entire galaxy collapse.
This kind of power...
Is this... Lin Ci's power?
He Xi knew clearly that this was only half of Lin Ci's power.
When she was weak, she thought she was a frog in a well, while Lin Ci was the bright moon in the sky, unattainable.
But now, with half of Lin Ci's power, she truly understands how terribly wrong she was.
She is not a frog in a well.
She was just an insignificant speck of air, while Lin Ci was the blue sky itself, the universe.
The gap is actually bigger and more despairing than I felt before.
She suddenly raised her head, her beautiful blue eyes gazing intently at Lin Ci.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented shock and fervor.
She walked barefoot, step by step, to Lin Ci.
Then, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Lin Ci...you..."
She wanted to say something, but found that any words seemed so inadequate at that moment.
Lin Ci felt the warm, soft body in his arms and chuckled as he hugged her slender waist tightly.
"So, are you satisfied with your man?"
He Xi buried her face in his chest and nodded vigorously, her voice thick with a nasal tone.
"Hmm... I couldn't be more satisfied."
Lin Ci lowered his head and blew a warm breath into her ear, his voice becoming a little hoarse.
"It's been so long since we last met, I wonder... are you satisfied with me in other ways?"
He Xi froze, then instantly understood what was happening.
"In what aspect...?"
She raised her head, and an alluring blush instantly spread across her stunningly beautiful face.
Lin Ci's gaze drifted meaningfully towards the large, soft cloud bed.
"What do you say?"
He Xi's face turned even redder. She gently punched Lin Ci's chest, her voice barely audible.
"Bad guy..."
The next second, Lin Ci picked her up and carried her to the bed that had witnessed ten thousand years of longing.
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, spilling onto the messy cloud bed.
He Xi nestled lazily in Lin Ci's arms, a satisfied blush on her face, fast asleep.
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Ci's mind.
[Ding! Detected: The number of civilizations in the known universe that share faith in the host has reached 65%!]
[System mission is nearing completion. Please prepare to leave this world!]
Lin Ci's eyes narrowed instantly.
Are we... leaving?
He looked down at He Xi, who was fast asleep in his arms, and thought of Keisha and Liang Bing, who were fighting far away, and Qi Lin on Earth.
He must capture their spirits and take them away together.
The number of slots for summoning spirits and commanding generals is limited.
