Bai Yue stared at her son in stunned silence. She couldn't believe what she had heard. Her son was ill because of a person... because some other being had used him as her vessel?
She didn't know how to react at first. Her mind went blank. Then, when it finally dawned on her, she became furious!
An uncontrollable anger took over her body, her aura fluctuating wildly, causing the very air around her to warp and twist. Her expression turned livid, and she clenched her hands into fists, trembling from rage.
"WHAT?! WHO DID THIS TO YOU?" Bai Yue roared, her eyes giving off thousand-year-old chilliness that seemed to make the whole world go ice cold. "TELL ME RIGHT NOW SO THAT I CAN CRUSH THEIR GHOST AND ERADICATE ALL LINES OF THEIR DESCENT! HOW DARE THEY TOUCH YOU!"
This anger came not just from the fact that someone had harmed her beloved son but also because she hadn't been able to detect the culprit behind it.
Bai Yue had scanned her son countless times in the past to check if there was any kind of poison in his body. Or even if he had come in contact with some parasitic creatures that were sucking him dry, and yet she found nothing.
Yet now she learned that something had taken control over her son's physical body for a whole year, leaving him helpless as she devoured him slowly from within.
This infuriated Bai Yue beyond reason. Her rage was unlike anything Wu Yang had ever seen before, and it was more than enough to fill him with fear.
He swallowed hard and hurriedly responded, "Mom, don't be mad... It wasn't like she wanted to do it. She had no other option. And there's a saying that it's better to save one life than build a seven-story pagoda. I was able to help her in saving her life, and I'm happy with it. Please, don't blame her..."
Bai Yue gazed at her son's face. His pleading and sincere expression made her calm down. Her rage subsided slightly. And then it came back once more as she saw Wu Yang defending a person who had harmed him.
"I shouldn't blame her?" she asked, her voice shaking from anger. "You're my son! It doesn't matter who she is. She's not important! It's you I'm worried about! Not her! Tell me right now! Who is she? How can she help you recover?"
Seeing the cold and firm expression on her face, Wu Yang didn't know how he could tell her without infuriating her again.
Just then, beautiful plum blossoms began to fall inside his room. They floated gently in the air, dancing around and illuminating the area in a mystical aura.
A sweet fragrance of plum filled the air, and soon after, a familiar figure of his master sitting in front of the plum blossom tree appeared before him.
Su Ling was in her most beautiful form. She wore a black gown that had a slit on the left side, revealing her pale, creamy white thighs. There was also a wide opening over her chest, exposing her large breasts and cleavage. It looked like the gown was going to burst open at any time.
Her long pink hair fluttered in the wind, dancing wildly about, while her beautiful pink eyes gleamed with a light that seemed to illuminate everything in the room. Her red lips curled into a playful smile as she looked at Bai Yue and Wu Yang.
When he looked at his master, Wu Yang noticed that it wasn't the Su Ling who had appeared earlier. That had been Su Ling's soul form, while this Su Ling was different. It was more akin to an illusion than the real thing.
Su Ling tilted her head and spoke in a low voice, "You wanted to see me? Here I am."
Bai Yue whirled around and stared wide-eyed at the beautiful woman in front of her. She almost gasped in surprise when she saw Su Ling's appearance.
The woman had an otherworldly beauty that seemed to come from another realm. Just her mere illusion was enough to mesmerize anyone who saw her.
"Who are you?" Bai Yue asked, frowning at Su Ling. "What have you done to my son? I need answers right now!"
Su Ling grinned, crossing her arms under her large breasts, lifting them up. She jiggled them a little, causing Wu Yang's eyes to fixate on the twin mountains.
"Heh. This is exactly why I appeared," Su Ling replied, a playful look in her eyes. "I'm Su Ling. As for what I did to your son, well... you can think of me as a soul taking his spiritual and physical energies away. Of course, most of it was taken while I was unconscious. However, I made sure not to take any more once I came to."
Her words only enraged Bai Yue even further. It took all of her willpower not to freeze the woman in place with her powerful ice magic. Even though she understood that Su Ling in front of her was just an illusion, her motherly instinct told her to eliminate any danger that threatened her son.
Bai Yue took deep breaths to calm herself down. She couldn't let her temper flare like earlier. This person before her could be the one to save her son or even harm him more. If so, then she mustn't offend her.
Seeing as Bai Yue was calmer this time, Su Ling decided to change the subject. She smirked and said, "Anyway, enough talking about such unpleasant things. I'm sure you want to know how to cure your son of his condition, right? I know exactly what will work on him."
"Then you better tell me!" Bai Yue hissed through gritted teeth. "Tell me how to cure him! I swear if you don't, I'll..."
Su Ling didn't care about Bai Yue's threat. Instead, her grin grew wider. "Hehe. I knew you would say that. Very well then, I'll tell you right away. However, I hope you won't turn your nose up at this method and refuse to help him."
Her last words caused Bai Yue to pause, but she couldn't understand what this woman meant.
"What do you mean? Don't waste any more time. Tell me what to do so that I can heal my son. I'll do anything to heal him... even if I have to go through hell itself."
Wu Yang heard her declaration and couldn't help but feel moved. His mother was willing to do anything, no matter what, just to help him get better. This filled him with an incredible feeling of love and gratitude.
However, his heart also felt heavy because of what might happen next. Even without having to think hard on it, he could tell that his mother would be shocked at his master's method.
Seeing their reactions, Su Ling smirked and revealed what the method was. "Hehe. It's quite simple. All you need to do is to dual cultivate with him."
