After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2549 The Challenge That Will Soon Be Overcome
He Lingchuan also breathed a sigh of relief; he had been just as nervous.

In that instant, he mentally considered several options: what if he answered incorrectly, how to subdue Xiao Ping, and how to deal with the demon behind the scenes?

Fortunately, this time, his half-hearted gamble actually paid off.

Therefore, their plan can still proceed.

Aunt Zhu asked curiously, "Why would she suspect you?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "After all, I am not the real Hu Xin, and I don't have time to understand this person's habits and style of doing things. It is inevitable that I will reveal some flaws in my words and actions. Xiao Ping has a keen sense of observation and intuitively feels that something is wrong, but she can't quite put her finger on it, so she wanted to trick me to test me."

"But after that test, she should have temporarily dispelled her doubts. Master Xiao is very busy; how could he possibly have the time to study me again?"

Immortal Mingke then asked, "When Duan Heyun went to see Xiao Ping earlier, did he mention taking A-Lian and the demon puppets out of the city tonight?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan stroked his chin. "No matter how capricious Duan Heyun may be, he has worked in the Heavenly Palace for many years and must abide by the rules here. He cannot act without informing us."

Duan Heyun's goal in getting this done was not to deliberately create conflict.

"So, we'll find out soon enough whether Ah Lian can get out of Yanxia Bay."

……

After Hu Xin left, Xiao Ping focused all her attention on Duan Heyun.

"What?" Her eyebrows almost furrowed in disbelief. "You're taking A-Lian to the northern suburbs of the city? Why?"

Duan Heyun then explained his proposal, saying, "It's better to deliver the reward in advance than afterward. A-Lian is too resistant to the descent of the God Helu. If we can help her relax, she will agree more quickly."

What if she still doesn't agree?

"How will you know if you don't try?" Duan Heyun continued. "Even if she disagrees, she has already seen the wonders of the outside world and will definitely yearn for another trip. The chances of her being persuaded will be even greater."

If a person has no desires or wants, you can't control them. Hu Xin used just a few candies and some dried meat to cultivate A-Lian's longing for the outside world. If she were to witness the vibrancy of the world firsthand, how much resistance would she have left?
Is it really a good idea to just let A-Lian go like this? Xiao Ping pondered.

Duan Heyun understood her concerns: "We also conduct experiments on releasing demon puppets into the wild regularly, and it should be within the next few days. Besides, isn't releasing other divine beings the same as releasing A-Lian? This time, we've set a tracking tag for her, so why are you worried she'll run away?"

Could a mere little demon puppet possibly escape right under the nose of the Spiritual Palace? It would be a disgrace to say that out loud.

Xiao Ping glanced at him: "You really want to take him out too, don't you?"

"Does it matter what I think?" Duan Heyun said sternly. "Isn't the important thing to get A-Lian to agree as soon as possible? Children only have a thirty-breath interest. If we drag it out for a few more days, she will suddenly lose interest in going out. What will you use to hook her and persuade her then? Beating, threatening, and enticing her won't work. You and I have both tried, but she is completely unyielding."

"Wouldn't it be too soon to take her out tonight?" Xiao Ping thought to herself, but didn't say it aloud, because she knew Duan Heyun would definitely ask more questions.

What's the difference between tonight, tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow?
Honestly, there's not much difference.

Besides, she understood that Duan Heyun had the right to take A-Lian out for wild release experiments without needing her consent. In name, she was Master Duan's right-hand woman.

Just as Xiao Ping was about to speak, a thought suddenly struck her, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue became:

"By the way, who gave you this idea?"

"Who?" Duan Heyun couldn't help but sneer. "Such a simple little matter, do I really need someone else to give me advice?"

"Only you could spoil A-Lian like this." Xiao Ping sighed. "Fortunately, the area around Baisong City is peaceful. Be careful and make sure you bring all the necessary people with you."

She no longer objected, and Duan Heyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, laughing, "It's just a wild release; the important thing is to report back to God Helu as soon as possible."

Having said that, he took out a jade slip and placed it on Xiao Ping's desk:
"This is my analysis of the possibility of the divine body's self-driven growth and cultivation, which I summarized from my research on A-Lian and other demon puppets."

"You've finally decided to take it out?" Xiao Ping curled her lip. Her intuition was right; this guy had been keeping his research results to himself. If it weren't for A-Lian, he probably wouldn't be willing to share them now.

In this world, there are the closest and the most distant relationships between husband and wife!
She suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, picked up the jade slip, and probed it with her divine sense. She was then taken aback, "So many?!"

No wonder it was recorded on jade slips; if all the information inside were taken out, it could fill several desktops.

She quickly flipped through the two documents, becoming increasingly moved with each reading: "This...this could be saying..."

"Excellent!" Duan Heyun exclaimed excitedly. "The appearance of A-Lian and her successful growth can most likely be replicated! As long as we follow this line of thought, the problem that has plagued us for ten years will soon be solved!"

"Just imagine, by then we will be able to create far more 'perfect divine bodies' than just a pitiful few!"

"If...if we succeed..." Xiao Ping's heart pounded wildly, and she instinctively grabbed the corner of the table, "we can mass-produce divine bodies, as many as we need!"

As expected of Duan Heyun!

This is the chosen one she has admired since childhood!
"Yes, as long as the raw materials and conditions allow, we can build as many as we want!"

The space suddenly distorted slightly, and even the wind blowing from the pool stopped.

A voice suddenly rang out: "Is this really true?"

The two were not surprised, for it was the voice of the god Helu.

This entire space belongs to it; it can do whatever it wants and speak whenever it wants.

Duan Heyun said with a sigh, "When have I ever told a lie?"

Xiao Ping and Helu Tianshen: "..."

How often does this person boast and brag? He has absolutely no self-awareness.

"When have I ever lied about such a significant discovery?" Duan Heyun corrected. "Although I found the embryo sac as a breakthrough over the past ten years, the exact factor that triggers the mutation has always been difficult to confirm!"

Xiao Ping said with a stern face, "I was the one who suggested this breakthrough, have you forgotten?"

The idea of ​​creating a divine body using human embryonic sacs and fragments of the Hidden God's body was first proposed by her, with the core idea being to borrow the power of creation.

Even Duan Heyun praised it, saying that the suggestion was a stroke of genius.

Unfortunately, the secrets of creation are not so easily deciphered. For more than a decade, they have always been just a little unlucky, unable to glimpse that divine secret.

Until Ah Lian appeared.

"The answer we're seeking lies with A-Lian," Duan Heyun said earnestly. "If she cooperates with me just a little more, I'll soon be able to unlock the ultimate secret!"
