Chapter 116: Male Body, Female Soul

Chapter 116: Male Body, Female Soul

Looking at the emaciated female body that only had a faint heartbeat, Alan shook his head helplessly.

"She can't be saved. I can't save her in this state."

Facing Spirit Eagle Douluo's dangerous gaze, Alan returned it without fear.

"You don't actually think she can be saved, do you? Be honest, do you think it's possible?"

Alan pointed to the shriveled body, feeling a bit helpless.

Spirit Eagle Douluo knew this was the truth, so she turned to Wang Si, wanting to hear his opinion. After all, Wang Si had the ability to enhance her soul rings and allow her to attach and detach them at will.

This was definitely not a power that an ordinary soul master could possess, and Spirit Eagle Douluo believed that he must have a way to fix this.

Meeting Spirit Eagle Douluo's gaze, Wang Si nodded. "I do have a way, but it's rather crude and straightforward. I can directly extract her soul, and then you can find a new body to place it into."

Hearing Wang Si's suggestion, Spirit Eagle Douluo was the first to object. "No, that's too dangerous. Isn't there any other way?"

This plan sounded unreliable and risky! Forcing a soul out of a body and then placing it into a new one was dangerous!

Wang Si shrugged helplessly at Spirit Eagle Douluo's resistance. "At the moment, this is the only method I have. As for whether it's safe or not, you can ask Alan here. If you don't trust her judgment, you can also ask Xue Qinghe. When he was killed, he was only twelve years old, even younger than her, and his current state is very similar to possessing a borrowed body."

Hearing Wang Si mention Xue Qinghe, Spirit Eagle Douluo was startled. Was he referring to the true Heavenly Fighting Emperor? Before coming here, Ci Tun Douluo had mentioned Xue Qinghe, claiming that he was a key player for the Spirit Hall.

Turns out Ci Tun Douluo's understanding of Wang Si wasn't entirely accurate either.

Spirit Eagle Douluo sighed inwardly. Back then, based on Ci Tun Douluo's words, this "Xue Qinghe" seemed to be an important piece for the Spirit Hall.

But now, it seemed that Wang Si had intercepted him, which was truly unexpected.

"I didn't expect you to be so dishonest," Spirit Eagle Douluo said with a playful laugh. At the same time, she felt relieved that she had chosen to side with Wang Si. The people from the Spirit Hall had no idea about the true extent of this monster's capabilities.

Spirit Eagle Douluo went to find Xue Qinghe to verify the information. Once she had left, Alan looked at Wang Si curiously.

"I reminded you earlier that I could save her. You could have just made up an excuse, saying that you had a way to heal her, and then kept her under your control. Afterward, you could have pretended that you went through great difficulties to save her, and Spirit Eagle Douluo would not only be grateful but also willingly submit to your wishes."

Wang Si glanced at Alan and then at the shriveled body. "First, I'm tired of acting after doing it for so long. Second, that's too troublesome, and I dislike troublesome matters. Lastly, I don't think it's a good thing for others to be wholeheartedly devoted to me. Too much loyalty will give me a blind sense of confidence, as if everything I do is right, and that's not good."

Hearing Wang Si's righteous words, Alan turned her head away. "You might as well just say that you can't bring yourself to do it after seeing her like this."

Wang Si nodded very calmly. "Indeed, seeing her like this makes it hard for me to take advantage of the situation."

Hearing Wang Si's admission, Alan pouted, feeling a bit bored. "You're no fun."

After her complaint, Alan casually glanced at Wang Si and randomly threw out a question.

Currently, only two soul spirits occupied the slots: herself and Xue Qinghe.

Alan's importance was undeniable; her vast knowledge of spirit beasts and energy manipulation skills made her invaluable to Wang Si.

As for Xue Qinghe, his management skills ensured a thriving power base for Wang Si, making his position equally indispensable.

Even if there were to be other soul spirits in the future, Alan believed that they must be top talents in their respective fields or a unique vase like Bibi Dong from the Spirit Hall, someone to be admired from afar but never touched.

Alan couldn't understand why such an important slot would be given to a little girl she had never even met.

"Who says I need geniuses by my side all the time? Isn't it nice to have an ordinary person once in a while? Having you two around really knocks down the self-confidence of others," Wang Si replied with a hint of exasperation.

"Look at Zhu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing; two kids with average talent, yet your presence alone makes them doubt their own abilities."

Hearing Wang Si's complaint, Alan rolled her eyes helplessly.

"But I told them about your identity as a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast. Shouldn't that balance things out?"

"They never saw you as a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast. To them, you're a dear sister-in-arms they shared joys and sorrows with," Wang Si countered.

At this, Alan glanced at Wang Si and let out a soft hmph.

…………

"Are you sure you want to use this body as the vessel for your daughter's soul?" Wang Si asked, looking at the body in front of him with a slight frown.

Spirit Eagle Douluo felt a bit guilty but quickly steadied her gaze, determined.

"Yes, let's use this body. She'll understand my difficulties," she said, her voice steady.

Hearing Spirit Eagle Douluo's decision, Wang Si nodded.

After learning more about the situation from Xue Qinghe, Spirit Eagle Douluo had come to understand the importance of soul spirits. She readily agreed to Wang Si's plan, knowing that it would secure her a permanent place by his side.

However, to ensure her daughter wouldn't suffer the same fate as herself, she had chosen the body of a boy.

"Alright, take your time with her. My method isn't without risk, so you should also be prepared to say goodbye," Wang Si said, giving Spirit Eagle Douluo some time alone with the body.

Spirit Eagle Douluo nodded, grateful for the opportunity.

Wang Si then left the room with the boy's body, knowing that not all bodies could be inhabited immediately. This particular one was a bit too young.

He would need to make some preparations.

…………

Spirit Eagle Douluo's eyes lit up with joy as she watched the child's fingers twitch slightly.

"My child, you've finally woken up after ten long years!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion.

A decade ago, she hadn't yet become one of the Eight Elders of the Spirit Hall, but she had been a strong contender for the position.

However, during that crucial period, she had a weakness: her twenty-something-year-old daughter. Her rivals had targeted her daughter, hoping to eliminate competition. Although they had ultimately failed, her daughter had been left in a permanent coma.

No one understood the true heartache she had endured, as they only saw her reckless and clumsy attempts. Even some of her own allies had failed to comprehend her struggles.

When she learned that Wang Si might have the power to save her daughter, she was prepared to play along with him for a while. But she never expected him to act so swiftly.

Soon, the child opened her eyes, and the familiar light in them caused Spirit Eagle Douluo's heart to soar with joy. She pulled her daughter into an embrace.
