Chapter 2654 I Will Burn Paper Money for You
A young woman emerged from the grotto behind them. She had bright, beautiful eyes and first bowed to He Lingchuan. Her gaze swept over the Frost Leaf National Preceptor before settling on Dong Rui.
Her growth rate far exceeded that of normal humans; six months after leaving Lingyun Palace, she already had the physique of a young girl. Because of her intelligence and agility, Dong Rui kept her as his assistant, but unlike Lingyun Palace, he did not restrict her movements.
Ah Lian has adapted well here over the past three years.
Dong Rui said, "Give me the lamp in the seventh compartment of the third cabinet in the second room."
Ah Lian turned and went inside, and soon came out with a box.
Shuangye's gaze, however, was fixed on her, scrutinizing her several times. Unlike ordinary young girls, Alian wasn't shy and stared back directly.
Shuangye turned her head to the side, and she followed suit.
Seeing this, Dong Rui asked her, "A-Lian, how do you feel when you see him?"
“It feels so familiar.” A-Lian didn’t understand why either. “For some reason, it feels even more familiar than when I see Duan Heyun.”
Frostleaf asked uncertainly, "She's also... a demon puppet?"
He sensed a familiar aura emanating from A-Lian, it seemed like...
“If the Divine Descent Body developed by Lingyun Palace doesn’t count as a demonic puppet, then she doesn’t,” He Lingchuan said from the side. “She was Lingyun Palace’s most successful creation three years ago, and the current divine bodies are all improvements based on our research on her.”
Shuangye's expression changed slightly: "Is she a fusion of the Hidden God and a human?"
"Using a special kind of blood as a fusion agent." Dong Rui looked at the two people. "You already know, right? It's your blood."
"Therefore, there will be some strange connection between you, just like the connection between you and the Holy Mother of Jindu." He Lingchuan then pointed to Alian, "Do you think there might be a connection between her and the Holy Mother of Jindu as well?"
Shuangye shook her head: "No, the connection between them is too weak."
"So the Mother of Jindu can't influence her or control her, right?"
“Of course not!” Dong Rui retorted, scoffing at his logic. “If that’s the case, then most of the divine bodies created by the Lingyun Palace would be controlled by the Mother of Crossing, which is equivalent to most of the heavenly demons descended by the gods being controlled by the Mother of Crossing. Heh heh, isn’t that going against the natural order?”
Shuangye said, "I understand, that's one way too."
He understood what He Lingchuan meant.
“But I’ve already determined that the Bright Lamp can resolve my hidden danger.” Shuangye then asked Alian, “How long did it take you to grow to this size?”
"Nine months." Ah Lian was also interested in him. "And you?"
Shuangye smiled, but did not answer directly. She simply said, "Make the time shorter."
He Lingchuan recalled the intricate and magnificent demonic lair in the swamp. As a true sadist, how long did it take Frostleaf to reach its full form back then? A month? Two months?
Ah Lian asked again, "Did you also grow up in the experimental field?"
“No…not really.” Shuangye paused for a moment before continuing, “I have my mother to take care of me.”
"Your mother?" Alian asked curiously, "was she also human?"
Facing her, Shuangye showed rare patience and curiosity, even picking up a strand of her hair to examine it closely:
"Yes, it's human."
"Is she good to you?" A-Lian blinked. "Will she use you as a guinea pig?"
“Doing experiments? That’s not something a mother should do to her child.” Shuangye pursed her thin lips slightly. “She’s been very good to me, unusually good.”
“Her creator was Duan Heyun,” He Lingchuan said from the side. “She was raised as an experimental subject.”
In a way, wouldn't she be considered a kind of Shuangye?
"Hey, let's get back to the point. Can your hidden danger be solved with the Bright Lamp?" Dong Rui interjected. "Is it a problem with the brain core?"
Shuangye remained silent, glancing at He Lingchuan. This puppeteer knew far too much.
“I brought you here to find him because the Bright Lamp needs to be modified according to your constitution. What other humans can use, you may not be able to use.” He Lingchuan paused for a moment. “Whether it is a human or an immortal, the place where memories are stored and personality is etched is in the sea of consciousness, but yours is the brain core, which is very different from the human brain. If you take the Bright Lamp and use it directly, it may not be of any use.”
Very few people in the world have ever handled or used the frost of the lamp, and Frost Leaf had no experience with it either, so he could only ask him, "How long will it take?"
“It won’t take long.” Dong Rui looked at him, his eyes shining. “Just cooperate with me on a few experiments, and have a few vials of blood drawn, and that’s it! Three days, no, two days later, I can have the Bright Lamp ready!”
This is a living, breathing sadist! The only living copy in the world!
The thought of experimenting with the fresh flesh and blood of sadists made Dong Rui so excited he wanted to rub his hands together: "Do you still need to provide blood to the Lingyun Palace?"
"We stopped using it more than two years ago."
“It seems they’ve found an alternative. There are so many talented people in the Heavenly Palace.” He Lingchuan quickly brought the conversation back on track. “You can stay in the palace. I’ll bring you over in a couple of days.”
"Okay, thank you." Staying in Jucheng for a few more days is not a problem for Shuangye. His delegation members will also be active in Jucheng for a few more days. "Two days later, I will help Master Dong remake the mask."
Leaving Dong Rui's experimental field, He Lingchuan and Shuangye strolled along, passing a garden.
This garden is perfectly suited for autumn scenery, as wind and snow cannot penetrate it. In the corner, there are several five-clawed maples, their leaves as red as flames, like a grand finale before their fall.
Both of them noticed the red leaves on those trees, and He Lingchuan suddenly asked Shuangye:
"You don't think the final battle between the mortal realm and the demons is going to be a good one?"
"Of course I don't think so," Shuangye said bluntly. "If I had any other choice, I would stand on the side of Lingxu Saint Venerable."
"Is the difference really that big?"
"This time, there are no Dragon Gods or First Shore Immortals in the mortal realm. What can we use to fight against the sixteen Great Celestial Gods, and against the Spirit Void Saint Venerable who is far more powerful than the latter fifteen Great Celestial Gods?" The Frost Leaf National Preceptor curled his lips. "I know you want to rely on Yuan Power, but in terms of time, it's too late. Relying on this kind of ethereal new power is too risky and the power is insufficient."
He Lingchuan chuckled: "If you don't think it's a good deal, why would you dare to make a deal with me?"
Shuangye shrugged, unusually honest for once: "Once the Holy Venerable Lingxu descends to the mortal realm, you will surely die, but I am not so sure."
How many major plans did the Nine Netherworlds ruin for the Heavenly Demons? From the Great Square Pot to the plan for the descent of the gods.
Whether it's the fall of the gods or the chaos in the heavens, it's all inextricably linked to the actions of the Nine Netherworlds.
The entire celestial realm hates Jiuyou to the bone, wanting to devour his flesh and sleep on his skin. Therefore, after the Lingxu Clan descends to the mortal realm, they will undoubtedly seek revenge against Jiuyou and Cangyan.
As for Shuangye, the Heavenly Demon didn't harbor such deep hatred towards him.
“I respect you as a hero.” He turned to He Lingchuan and said solemnly, “On the day I receive the bad news, I will burn paper money for you.”
