Chapter 78: Night Owl, Possessing Ning Rongrong
As night fell, Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing finished their cultivation, washed up, and went back to their rooms to rest.
The intensity of their training today was not high, so Qi Tian did not prepare any medicinal bath water.
"I wonder if he'll possess someone else tonight?" Qi Tian wondered expectantly.
After each task is completed, the system will issue him a new task.
Now that Qi Tian has completed Zhu Zhuqing's possession mission, he should have a new possession target tonight.
In contrast, there are generous rewards for completing the task.
At midnight, Qi Tian didn't receive any new tasks from the system, but he was awakened from his sleep by a slight noise outside.
"Who is it?" Qi Tian quickly activated his senses.
Upon sensing this, Qi Tian discovered that the person who caused this commotion was none other than Zhu Zhuqing.
She used the same trick again, sneaking to Qi Tian's window and slipping inside.
"Is she addicted? Or is she sleepwalking?" Qi Tian wondered.
However, he closed his eyes, preparing to pretend to be asleep like last time.
A short while later, Zhu Zhuqing came to the bedside and quietly looked at Qi Tian for a while.
She crouched down and, just like last time, reached out and touched Qi Tian's cheek, lost in thought.
Just then, Qi Tian suddenly opened his eyes, startling Zhu Zhuqing.
She was about to run away like a startled cat, but Qi Tian, quick as a flash, grabbed her wrist.
How could Zhu Zhuqing, an agility-based battle spirit master, possibly have the strength to break free from a spirit master with a true body spirit?
Qi Tian pulled hard and drew Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, holding her tightly with both hands.
Although she has a hot figure, holding her in your arms is like holding a soft, big cat.
"Zhuqing, this is the second time you've come to my room. What exactly do you want?"
Qi Tian whispered in Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
The reason he let her go last time was because she had a fiancé, and Qi Tian isn't a minotaur, so he can't do that kind of thing.
But now Zhu Zhuqing has spoken openly with Dai Mubai and canceled their engagement.
Whether it counts or not is another matter, but it was effective for Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing; she and Dai Mubai had no further relationship.
"Last time? You weren't asleep?" Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed.
She thought that as a spirit of agility and attack, her movements were subtle enough, but she didn't expect to be caught.
"How can I sleep when you touch my face and my hands?" Qi Tian asked.
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed even more, and she nestled shyly into Qi Tian's arms.
"Tell me quickly, why did you come to my room so late?" Qi Tian tightened his grip on Zhu Zhuqing.
"I...I don't know either!" Zhu Zhuqing whispered.
She pressed her face against Qi Tian's neck, greedily inhaling his scent.
Qi Tian cultivates the Blue Silver Grass spirit, and the scent on his body is close to nature, very fresh and free, which Zhu Zhuqing likes very much.
"After you left my body last time, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't wait to see you the next day; I just wanted to see you with my own eyes!"
Zhu Zhuqing recalled her motivations for her actions a few days ago.
She believed that since she controlled her body through Qi Tian, what she saw of Qi Tian was invalid, so she wanted to see Qi Tian for herself.
"No wonder!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
"And what about this time?"
"Ugh~ I don't know either!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why she had come here so unexpectedly.
Qi Tian finally understood: she was addicted to night raids.
"Since you like my room so much, let's sleep together from now on!"
"Mmm!" Zhu Zhuqing responded softly.
Qi Tian was secretly delighted. He had thought he would never be able to touch her body again, but unexpectedly she came to him.
"Alright, go to sleep early, we still have cultivation tomorrow!"
"Don't forget your goal: to change the fate of the Zhu family. Don't let your sister hold out too long!"
After saying that, Qi Tian naturally stretched out his hand, holding Zhu Zhuqing in one arm and climbing the mountain with the other.
The usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing was now burning up, but she didn't refuse and hugged Qi Tian.
Cats that seem cold on the outside but are warm on the inside are just like that.
...
Early morning, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the bustling little castle, a knock sounded on the door of a room.
"Young Miss, get up and start cultivating!" a servant called out.
"So annoying! Can't you let me sleep a little longer?" Ning Rongrong, the genius girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, complained.
"One day, I'll run away from home and see if you dare force me to cultivate again!"
She had long been fed up with this kind of life, where every day was either cultivation or even more tedious cultivation.
The only fun was plucking the beard of Gu Rong, the sect's guardian elder.
Although it was tedious, Ning Rongrong only complained verbally; she usually obediently accepted the sect's training arrangements.
After complaining, Ning Rongrong prepared to get up, wash up, and then go to the sect school for her training.
But at that moment, she suddenly realized that she could no longer control her body.
"Sleep paralysis?" Ning Rongrong recalled some short stories she had read.
When experiencing sleep paralysis, a person is conscious but unable to control their body, which perfectly describes their current state.
A sudden wave of fear washed over Ning Rongrong, a fear even greater than her fear of her father.
"How is that possible? I'm a Soul Master, how could I experience sleep paralysis?"
She understood that sleep paralysis wasn't actually being pressed down by a ghost, but rather that her consciousness woke up before her body, which was a health issue.
As a Soul Master, her physical condition was much better than that of an ordinary person, so it was impossible for her to experience sleep paralysis.
Just then, she suddenly felt "herself" move.
Qi Tian got out of bed and, as usual, touched his chest.
"Hmm, it's a bit smaller than Zhu Qing's, but it feels softer. They're about the same size!" Qi Tian judged.
"So, who have I possessed this time?"
Qi Tian's true form had already begun cultivating with Zhu Zhuqing.
Fortunately, he had long since adapted to the state of having one soul and two bodies, so he was able to handle it with ease and it wouldn't interfere with his cultivation.
"Huh? Why am I touching myself?"
Ning Rongrong is precocious despite her young age; she already has a thorough understanding of knowledge that is usually only known to adults.
She didn't find anything shameful about it, just a little strange.
"Could I really be experiencing sleep paralysis from a 'ghost'? And is this ghost a lecherous one?" Ning Rongrong felt a little scared.
Qi Tian got up and went to the dressing table.
He saw himself in the mirror.
The reflection in the mirror showed her with shoulder-length blonde hair, delicate features, and skin as smooth and supple as a peeled lychee.
Qi Tian pinched his skin, and felt a faint pain. He felt like he could squeeze water out of it.
"Such tender skin!" Qi Tian exclaimed.
Upon hearing Qi Tian's words, Ning Rongrong finally realized that a "ghost" had taken over her body.
"Who are you? Can you leave my body now?"
She finally couldn't hold back anymore and was about to cry.
