Mysterious mirror hanging high

"You...you are the eldest daughter of the Ling family...Ming Yutai's fiancée—Ling Qishuang?"

Jing Yu's eyes widened. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that this person would be Ling Qishuang!

He then looked at the woman before him suspiciously a few more times, and unconsciously increased the pressure on his hand, the profound spiritual light emanating from his vertical eye becoming even more intense:

"This isn't just another disguise, is it? Don't try anything funny with me!"

"Ouch! Be gentle!" Ling Qishuang cried out in pain, "Grandpa, brother, this is my true appearance, I haven't lied to you at all!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu exclaimed in surprise, "That's truly like a pumpkin growing on a gourd vine, quite a peculiar thing... You are Ming Yutai's fiancée, the future young mistress of the Ming family. It would be fine if you didn't come in openly, but you had to pretend to be a slovenly Taoist priest and even use a sleeping potion to bewitch your own fiancé? So you two like this kind of thing?"

"Bullshit! Who is this idiot's fiancée?" Ling Qishuang cursed. "This marriage alliance was never my wish. Ming Yutai wants to marry me? Wait until the next era!"

Jing Yu knew there must be some secret involved, and naturally, she wanted to find out the truth about it, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The Heavenly Light Sect is also a True Immortal power. Ming Yaoguang, the True Immortal of Heavenly Light, is much younger than your old True Immortal Ling family member. He is at the height of his power. Ming Yutai is the direct descendant of the current sect leader of the Heavenly Light Sect. In terms of talent and background, he is no less than you. Why are you so resistant? Could it be that you have someone you love?"

"I'm only focused on the Great Dao, I don't have a sweetheart!" Ling Qishuang gritted her teeth: "Do you think the Ming family really has their eye on me? In this marriage, I'm the only sacrifice!"

"What do you mean?" Jing Yu asked.

"Do you know about the [Mysterious Female Spiritual Body]?" Ling Qishuang asked in return.

"The Mysterious Female Spiritual Body... Could it be?" Jing Yu suddenly realized, "So you actually have this kind of constitution?"

The [Mysterious Female Spiritual Body] is an extremely special physique in the Immortal Realm. It does not help with cultivation, but if a woman with this spiritual body conceives a child, she can transfer a portion of her immortal foundation principles to the child.

The firstborn children of women with this kind of spiritual body are born to be cultivation prodigies. Their spiritual roots, aptitude, and comprehension are likely to be top-notch, and they may even awaken a special cultivation physique.

However, for a woman with the [Mysterious Female Spiritual Body], bearing a child would be extremely damaging to her foundation of cultivation. The price she would pay for giving birth to such a child would be immense, ranging from severe damage to her vital energy to the complete severance of her path to the Great Dao!

"You do have some vision," Ling Qishuang sneered. "This marriage is nothing but a complete transaction, and the 'goods' in this transaction are my belly..."

Jing Yu finally understood why Ling Qishuang had committed such a scandalous affair, yet it had not disrupted the marriage alliance between the two major powers in the slightest. The Tianmang Sect had never cared how many lovers Ling Qishuang had been involved with; all they wanted was for Ling Qishuang to conceive Ming Yutai's child!

"Ming Yutai is born with the destiny of 'many children, many blessings,' which can significantly improve the aptitude of her offspring. Combined with Ling Qishuang's 'Mysterious Female Spiritual Body'... how high would the aptitude of their child be?"

"The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the stronger the aptitude of their offspring will be in theory."

"If I were the True Immortal in charge of the Tianmang Sect and the Ling family, I would spare no effort to raise their cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal realm. If we then had another child, the starting point would be unimaginable."

"However, if we force them to grow too fast, their cultivation will probably stop at the Celestial Immortal realm."

At this moment, Jing Yu finally understood, and a cold smile appeared on her face: "No wonder, you framed Ling Xiao to make him your 'adulterer' in order to ruin this marriage? Is that right?"

"How incredibly stupid... Knowing full well that the Heavenly Mang Sect values ​​your spiritual body, what's the point of having a match with Ling Xiao in front of all the cultivators in the Immortal Realm? As long as you don't get pregnant, they don't care how many male concubines you have!"

Ling Qishuang was taken aback upon hearing this: "Ling Xiao... what is your relationship with Ling Xiao? Why..."

Instead of answering her question, Jing Yu countered, "I'd like to ask you, since you don't want to marry Ming Yutai, what are you planning to do by sneaking into this place today? Logically, shouldn't you just run away and go as far away as possible?"

Ling Qishuang looked anxious: "Fellow Daoist, the situation is urgent! I have come to save someone!"

"Save someone?" Jing Yu's gaze sharpened. "Save whom?"

Ling Qishuang said, enunciating each word clearly: "Guan Lingxiao, a disciple of the [Formless Sword Sound Sect] and my 'adulterer'!"

"what?"

Jing Yu felt his mind was going blank, and he asked incredulously, "Who are you here to save?"

"Damn it, can't you understand human language?" Ling Qishuang cursed, "Judging from your sneaky behavior, you're probably here to rescue someone from the Tianmang Sect, aren't you? Were you sent by that old man Yixian?"

"No, let me sort this out."

Jing Yu's face darkened: "You want to get Guan Lingxiao out of the Tianmang Sect's dungeon? Do you even remember how that unfortunate kid got locked up in there?"

"If you had known this would happen, why did you frame him in the first place!"

"I...I didn't know things would escalate to this point!" Ling Qishuang said, her expression aggrieved. "I've made a scene in the clan several times already, even threatening suicide...but my parents, uncles, and ancestors all turned a blind eye and insisted on my marriage..."

"I was forced into a corner, so I just randomly picked a handsome young man who looked pleasing to the eye at the banquet that day..."

"I only thought that doing this would ruin the marriage. As for Guan Lingxiao... after all, he is a core disciple of the Heavenly Immortal lineage, so he should be safe... I will just make some compensation to him in the future."

"Who knew...who knew that the Heavenly Light Sect was determined to execute him..."

"Since Guan Lingxiao has suffered this misfortune because of me, I naturally cannot ignore it!"

Ling Qishuang gritted her teeth and said, "I have to take responsibility for my own actions. Things have come to this point, so I'll clean up the mess myself."

"I am naturally skilled in transformation techniques and have also mastered the [Laws of Creation]. With these two methods combined, even immortals cannot see through my disguise... That's why I infiltrated the Ming Mansion, all to kidnap Ming Yutai and use her as a hostage to force the Tianmang Sect to release Guan Lingxiao!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu was struck dumb, and she almost froze on the spot.

After a long while, he slowly reacted, his expression strange: "The Tianmang Sect has planned everything, but it didn't expect that you, Ling Qishuang, are a complete slut... If we let you breed with Ming Yutai, the child's aptitude will be guaranteed, but I'm afraid his brain might not be good."
