Chapter 14: Double Happiness
Why haven’t I disappeared?
The internal demon pondered this puzzling question.
No, wait. There was something more pressing to consider first.
The sword that Lady White Bones had stabbed into her had drained her energy. Just moments ago, she couldn’t even muster enough strength to move her fingers.
But now, after collapsing to the ground, the internal demon was surprised to feel her vitality returning. She felt invigorated, as if she could now spar with Su Youwei for three hundred exchanges!
But… how did this happen?
Clearly, Su Youwei’s inner emptiness had been filled.
“Could it be…?”
The internal demon turned her body. What she saw before her was Bai Lian—calm and seemingly lost in thought.
Yes.
Her arm trembled slightly. She realized that Su Youwei could never have had such power. Only Bai Lian, the so-called Natural Saint, could have intervened in such a desperate situation and saved her!
That was impressive.
The internal demon felt an unfamiliar sensation.
She gazed at Bai Lian’s soft face, and the more she looked, the lighter she felt—almost as if she were about to fly.
Was this how Su Youwei felt in response to Bai Lian?
Freed from hatred and bloodthirsty desires, the internal demon experienced something new. It was as if a current flowed through her body.
This was happiness!
No wonder Su Youwei was so obsessed with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian. The internal demon finally understood.
She took a deep breath.
It was a shame, though. This was only the sea of Su Youwei’s divine sense. The Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian standing before her was not real—she could smell nothing.
This quickly grounded the internal demon.
She had survived, but now there was a serious issue at hand.
One body, two souls.
Was this reasonable?
Of course not!
Su Youwei had first met or known Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, which made the internal demon feel like the unnecessary one.
She looked uneasily at the silent Bai Lian.
She couldn’t do anything.
The only choice was to turn the matter over to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and anxiously await the result.
Su Youwei’s thoughts were similar.
However, right now, she didn’t hate her internal demon. In fact, she thought it would be better to give her internal demon a body, if possible. Then… she could kick her out of the Duxian Sect!
“Go find your own life. The whole world belongs to you, so move your eyes away from Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian! Otherwise, I will be angry!”
“……”
Bai Lian was confused.
She, too, wanted to know what was going on!
Why were there two Third Younger Martial Sisters?
One wore the Qiongming Peak’s uniform.
The other wore a blood-red long skirt, showing her lovely feet to the world without hesitation.
The latter was no longer an internal demon; just one blow and she would cry. But Bai Lian couldn’t act on it.
Her uneasy eyes reminded her of the third Martial Sister from the game, flooding her with memories!
Before Bai Lian could figure out how to deal with the extra “Third Martial Sister,” the serene sea of her divine sense shifted again.
After a brief shock, a faint blue pearl suddenly appeared in the sky.
“That’s…” Bai Lian squinted.
Wasn’t that common-looking pearl the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl that had once affected the third Martial Sister’s life?
The Ten Thousand Poison Pearl wasn’t an ordinary artifact—it was infused with a Great Tao. Owning it could give one a chance to become an Immortal Emperor. No wonder so many immortals fought for it.
Su Youwei and her internal demon both recognized it, their hearts racing.
The item spirit of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl was still asleep, so it shouldn’t be appearing yet.
Could the evil force still be alive? The fear began to resurface.
Moments later, a large blue bird with an exquisite appearance emerged from the halo.
It was the item spirit of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl!
In fact, it hadn’t been fully asleep but had feigned sleep due to the evil force.
The item spirit walked right up to Su Youwei, unbothered by Bai Lian’s presence. Bai Lian had already learned of its existence from the evil force, so it knew avoiding her was meaningless.
“The strength of my new master isn’t as impressive as I thought,” the item spirit muttered.
Its voice was soft, but everyone, including Bai Lian, heard it clearly.
Su Youwei’s mouth hung slightly open.
She was powerless to disagree.
The former owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl had been an Immortal, while she was just a weak cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The item spirit smiled. “I am weak for now. I’ll soon return to sleep. Let me make this brief.”
It began making promises to Su Youwei.
“As long as you can understand the secrets inside the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl, you can become an Immortal Emperor!”
“In its prime, the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl was so powerful that a single ray of its light could poison the entire world.”
“I’ve stored countless Immortal texts inside it. If they spread, the world will try to steal them.”
“If you find the supernatural artifact that wakes me, I’ll teach you those Immortal texts. They are worth ten thousand times more than your current cultivation method!”
The item spirit tilted its head slightly in pride!
But to its embarrassment, Su Youwei’s response was rather indifferent.
She merely nodded.
That was a no then.
Bai Lian, as if seeing through it all, looked at the item spirit like it was a fool.
“?” The item spirit frowned.
A fool?
It couldn’t believe they were truly unmoved!
Maybe it had spoken too abstractly, and these country bumpkins didn’t understand how attractive the world it described really was.
“Have you heard of Immortal Emperors? They are overlords of the Immortal World, emperors who control entire domains! Besides the Heavenly Lords, Immortal Emperors are the strongest beings in the Immortal World.”
Su Youwei’s brows twitched.
The item spirit continued, “Let me give you a simple example. Your master’s strength is top-tier in this small world, but in the Immortal World, she wouldn’t even qualify as a maid!”
Su Youwei’s face changed, and she snapped angrily, “Shut up, don’t insult my master!”
The item spirit spoke slowly, “I’m just telling you the truth.”
“You…” Su Youwei gasped.
Maybe it was right. After all, Master An Lan’s strength had stagnated in the Transcendency Stage for centuries, but that didn’t justify belittling her!
The item spirit cut her off. “It’s pointless to argue about this. You’d better—quack, quack…”
Before it could finish, the item spirit’s neck was suddenly seized. Its body was lifted, and it felt the weight of divine sense pressing from all directions.
The item spirit panicked and screamed.
“If this continues, I’ll die!”
The internal demon, seemingly unbothered by its cries, continued tightening her grip.
“What’s going on?” Bai Lian was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The item spirit had insulted An Lan to her face, essentially insulting her daughter. Bai Lian had planned to teach it a lesson, but now…
What was happening?
“You.” Su Youwei stretched out her hand.
Actually, this was what she had wanted to do, but her internal demon acted first.
She watched as the internal demon turned, smiling gently. “I’ll handle the dark side. You focus on improving.”
Su Youwei’s heart skipped a beat.
If this continued, the “other her” would become her “internal demon” again!
The internal demon stared at the item spirit and said, “In fact, you’ve been awake this whole time. Otherwise, how could you know our master’s strength?”
The item spirit howled. “What are you talking about?”
“You could have warned Su Youwei that the false Martial Sister Bai Lian was dangerous, but you didn’t. You should know I’m narrow-minded.”
“……”
“Now, you die.”
The item spirit struggled desperately.
“This is your chance to become an Immortal Emperor. Do you really want to let it slip away?”
The internal demon sneered. “I don’t need your help.”
She waved her hand.
Under the pressure of her divine sense, the item spirit exploded into countless pieces and perished instantly.
The internal demon rose into the air.
She knew everything the item spirit knew, so it had become useless to her.
After its death, the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl would soon give birth to a new item spirit.
That spirit would be loyal to its former owner. It had helped Su Youwei only to use her to avenge its original master.
And…
In her previous life, when she was still a pure internal demon, this damned item spirit had often bullied her.
It was time for her to retaliate!
The internal demon, having done all of this, quietly waited for Bai Lian’s punishment.
But Bai Lian had no intention of punishing her.
She looked at her Third Younger Martial Sister, understanding.
This was a new path that had never appeared in the game!
