Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Hunt of the Nine Yin Empress
Anyway, without much thought or time to waste, I summoned Bing Hua.
It took only moments before cries of ecstasy began to swell through the mating chamber, as if the very walls trembled from their intensity.
Desire swept through Bing Hua's body completely, searing through her blood like an unquenchable blaze, and the passion that erupted within her ignited every cell of her body.
Waves of pleasure struck her violently, a raging torrent of bliss that slowly stripped her of balance and consciousness, turning her into a captive of pure rapture.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! More! Faster! Harder! Ah! Ah!
Her ragged breaths echoed in the room, while sweat mixed with a faint shimmer of energy that leaked into the air.
Time seemed to slow… each minute stretching like an age.
Without realizing it, many hours had passed since she entered the mating chamber.
She was submerged in ecstasy, having forgotten the world, forgotten herself — only the sound of pleasure filled the void.
Her eyes rolled back, her body arched upward like a taut bow before convulsing completely, then she collapsed, unconscious.
At that moment a glowing red light rose beneath her navel, and a tilted, smoldering tattoo formed, burning with a strange heat.
That was the family seal.
In truth, I benefited greatly from the process.
My cultivation increased by as much as she had cultivated herself,while she gained an extra one hundred thousand years of training.
This is one of the characteristics of mutual exchange between spouses — a union in which both parties share strength and spiritual depth.
I am confident that if I continue dual cultivation with her, I will reach the five-hundred-thousand-year level in a very short time.
But… the energy inside me still overflows without stopping, boiling in my veins like a star about to explode.
And that means it's time for my blue wife —
Xiu Lan.
Without much thought, I summoned Xiu Lan.
Time passed as before, without awareness or perception, until she too fainted after being consumed by the same waves of ecstasy.
Then I looked at the third woman sleeping peacefully, and felt a strange sweetness creep into my heart.
I smiled softly and breathed deeply.
Alright… it truly is time to go to another world.
In any case, I have made my decision.
I will use the amulet…and seize the body of the villain.
In truth, there was a reason that made me change my mind.
Instead of traveling with my body, I decided to move only with my soul — it was safer, especially since this was the first time I would attempt this kind of crossing.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, then spoke in my mind: Hello,system. I want to transfer to another world using the amulet. I don't want to waste time choosing… show me the best world I can reach.
[Dang: Host, the best world you can go to using the amulet, among the available worlds, is the Heavenly Fate World — to the Continent of Combat.]
I raised my eyebrows with a faint smile and said calmly,
The Continent of Combat…? Alright, show me all the villains in that world. I want to choose one.
[Dang: Before we begin, you must know that this world has three heroes. Yi Feng is the fourth hero of this world, though he belongs to a different continent than the Continent of Combat.]
Three heroes?— my eyes widened with a spark of genuine excitement.
This… is interesting. Very well, show me all the villains. I truly want to go there.
[Dang: Understood, Host…]
But when the information appeared before me, I froze.
The Continent of Combat is within the range of the Heavenly Fate World…?
A wave of astonishment washed over me.
They're connected — travel between them is possible through gates, flying ships, or even on foot…
I chuckled lightly, tilting my head upward.
"Though it's still quite far from the continent where Yi Feng and the Su Family are."
Then silence fell for a brief moment.
I thought carefully and muttered slowly to myself:
This world… is it the same one I lived in during a past life? Like Su Ling Tian?
Cold crept into my limbs, accompanied by a faint tremor of pure exhilaration.
This… will truly be something unexpected.
A few minutes passed — everything was silent, except for the pounding of my heart growing faster in my chest.
And during that time, I made my final decision.
I wrote a short message to my wives, informing them of my situation,and left them some level-raising pills.
With this amount, Bing Hua will be able to reach seven hundred thousand years of cultivation.
As for Xiu Lan, she already possesses the same level, thanks to the shared exchange technique.
After my level was raised through her, only one remained… Aislin — she's the only one whose cultivation hasn't been enhanced through the technique.
But after I return, I'll use it to raise her cultivation to match mine.
Anyway, there's no need to fear the heavenly tribulation, since the Spiral Tower conceals everything within it, there will be no issue.
That means I can raise my cultivation to one million years with ease.
Hmm… it would be even easier if the Ice Empress were part of my harem.
Still, unfortunately, she's far too stubborn…
But it doesn't matter — very soon, I'll make her submit to me.
Whether willingly or by force, she will become my woman.
After finishing all that, I granted the system permission to transfer me.
And the moment I confirmed it, my vision began to fade gradually —as though darkness was devouring the world around me.
And in the next instant—
My entire consciousness was transferred into the body of the chosen villain.
[Dang: … Linking identity… Host successfully bound to identity.]
A glowing translucent panel appeared before me, its light reflecting across my face as my heart began to pound with a strange intensity.
I'm… Li Yitan?
I muttered softly, the new world around me still hazy and unclear.
So that's my name in this world? Alright then… let's find out more.
System, show me my personal status.
[Dang:
Name: Li Yitan
Realm: Spirit Palace – Mid Stage
Talent: The Red Dragon Bloodline (Great Saint Level)
Magical Weapon: Nine-Element Spirit Pearl (Great Sage Level)
Combat Techniques: Flowing Clouds (Emperor Level), Dominating
Sword (Great Sage Level), Wood-Cutting Sword (Half-Emperor Level)
Luck Points: 100
Combat Power Rating: Peak of Fortune ]
I read the displayed data, my eyes gleaming brightly.
From the very moment I stepped into this world and took over the villain's body, the system had been there — as if it had been waiting for me since eternity.
But before I could fully grasp what I was seeing, the system's voice echoed once more — deep, resonant, shaking my very core.
[Dang: Eternal-level heroine detected — Ling Ruo, the Future Empress of Nine Yin.]
[Dang: Host, would you like to begin the Hunt?]
…Empress of Nine Yin?
I froze for a moment, then a cold smile curved my lips.
Alright… do it.
The instant I confirmed my decision to hunt Ling Ruo, my consciousness quivered violently, as though an invisible current pierced through the depths of my being.
It felt as if something unseen had opened a gate within my mind — a gate stretching beyond the limits of worlds.
Suddenly… whispers, voices, and images surged toward me mercilessly. They didn't merely flow — they exploded inside my head like a storm of tangled memories.
[Dang: Transferring all plot data related to the heroine, Ling Ruo, to Host…]
My entire being trembled for a single heartbeat before I opened my eyes amid a whirl of radiant light — as the new memories etched themselves deep into my soul.
My body trembled violently.
I felt thousands of memories and scenes flooding into me like a raging tide, pounding inside my skull without mercy.
It was as if someone was hammering against my head again and again… the pain wasn't normal — it was searing, tearing at my consciousness itself.
And yet, I clenched my teeth and endured, even as every nerve in my body screamed.
Every battle she fought, every betrayal, every tear that fell from her eyes…
All of it surged into my mind at once — memories unfolding before me from a third-person view, as if I were watching a film of her life from beginning to end.
I lifted my gaze toward the girl kneeling before me — it was her… yes,it was her!
Ling Ruo — the ultimate heroine of this world, the Empress of Nine Yin.
Bearer of the Nine Evil Spirits — the girl once described in the story as useless…
But in truth, she was a genius unlike any other.
If the chains binding her veins were ever broken, she would be reborn — rising like a blazing star in the sky of cultivation.
And according to the plot, she would become a true Empress — an existence surpassing not only the Ancient Combat Continent, but even the Heavenly Fate World itself.
A dark, quiet smile curved my lips.
I had to begin her hunt, sooner or later.
After all… there are many ways to hunt, aren't there?
Hunting doesn't necessarily mean killing… does it?
As for her, just as the system had mentioned before my transfer — her story hasn't begun yet.
For now, she was merely a servant.
Her background carried a trace of tragedy… she was the daughter of the Ling Family's patriarch, yet unable to cultivate or accomplish anything of worth.
Since childhood, she had suffered from a mysterious physical weakness — a strange, unexplainable Yin energy that afflicted her body, especially under the cold of night or the light of a full moon.
That made her an outcast within the Ling Family — even her own parents saw her as a useless burden.
Because of that, her father took the opportunity
to send her away to the Li Family — to serve there as a maid.
Up to this point, only two days had passed since she began working in the Li Household.
Though she was technically "Li Yitan's" servant, she had no true connection to the Li Family at all.
The reason lay in several things — the constant neglect, the daily bullying.
And the second reason… was that the Li Family would be completely destroyed only a year later.
After that incident, she would become a wanderer — homeless,drifting.
According to the storyline I received from the system, Ling Ruo was not connected to any male protagonist.
The reason was simple… and tragic.
The first man she loved died miserably.
The second man, the one she gave her heart to — betrayed her.
And in the end… he died by her own hands.
Since that moment, she had completely closed off her heart, never to love another man again.
Is this… my chance?
This is the heroine — the great point of fortune, the beginning of my transformation in this world,and the first step toward crushing Yi Feng!
According to the storyline, the first man Ling Ruo ever fell in love with was Li Yitan —
the very person she served before the Li Family's destruction.
She fell for him at first sight when they met,and that feeling only deepened because it was the one and only time someone didn't show her disgust or treat her cruelly.
He simply ignored her — as if she didn't exist at all…
And yet, that very indifference was the first sense of peace she had ever known in her life.
After contemplating the path ahead,I slowly rose from my throne,and silence blanketed the entire hall of the Li Family.
Step by step, I walked toward her,under the watchful eyes of the disciples whose faces were filled with shock and anticipation.
Each step I took echoed like the pounding of nails into their trembling hearts.
One of them barked sharply in anger: Hurry! Punish her!
Another shouted with fury: Why is that wench allowed to stand so close to Young Master Li Yitan?!
At that moment, jealousy flared in the eyes of the women from the Li Family's branch lines,their gazes dripping with malice and a burning desire to humiliate.
But I ignored all of it — as if their noise held no meaning to me.
I advanced until I stood right before her.
She was kneeling, head bowed low, her pale silver hair cascading over her trembling face.
I extended my hand toward her —
I did not strike her, nor did I yell.
Instead, I gently placed my palm before her… and enclosed her small hands within mine.
The entire hall froze.
Even the air seemed to stop moving.
Then, I spoke — softly, gently, with a tone as warm as a night breeze:
Did your hand get hurt?
I asked her in a tender voice, calm and soothing.
She slowly raised her head, her wide eyes shimmering with confusion and silent astonishment.
She couldn't respond immediately —she simply stared at me, her gaze filled with disbelief and bewilderment.
