Chapter 252 - 124: Master and Disciple Swap Souls
"You’re okay. That’s great."
Seeing this, Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her into a tight hug. "For a moment there, I really thought something had happened to you!"
Xu Lei had been genuinely panicked.
After all, Zhao Xin had been knocked unconscious by a Power that affected the soul.
It was a domain far beyond what the current Xu Lei could comprehend or control.
"Hui Chi, what are you doing?"
But unexpectedly, at that very moment, the delicate hand of the Zhao Xin in his arms shoved hard against his chest. She said angrily, "Senior Brother Hui Lu is right here!
How could you brazenly hug and take liberties with me? Are you insane?"
Hearing the woman who looked like Zhao Xin speak in Jingchun’s tone, Xu Lei was horrified.
Of course, as she said this,
the Zhao Xin before him froze as well.
"My voice? What’s going on?"
Then she looked down at her body and said in astonishment, "This is Jin Xin’s body?"
Then, she turned her head to look at Jingchun’s body, which was still unconscious over there.
Xu Lei immediately spun around and rushed over to Jingchun’s body.
"Xin’er, Xin’er, wake up."
Finally, Jingchun’s body slowly opened its beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he couldn’t comprehend or control souls.
So he had been genuinely worried that only Jingchun’s consciousness had survived,
and that Zhao Xin’s had perished.
At this moment, the Jingchun before him was also a bit dazed.
"Uncle Hui Chi, what just happened?"
She asked in a sweet, soft voice after seeing Xu Lei. "Hm? What’s wrong?
Why has my voice become—?
Why have my breasts gotten so big?"
「Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.」
The three of them faced each other, at a loss for words.
"It’s my fault."
Finally, Jingchun, who was in Zhao Xin’s body, spoke with Zhao Xin’s mouth and voice. "I used an Ancient Technique I didn’t fully understand, and that’s what led to this result.
Give me some time. I will do my best to find a way to fix this."
"Master, we’re not blaming you."
Zhao Xin, in Jingchun’s body, spoke with Jingchun’s mouth and voice. "But what do we do now?
We were just talking about me getting pregnant.
And then we’d have the child be registered under your and Uncle Hui Chi’s names.
Now that you and I have swapped bodies, how am I supposed to get pregnant?
How can I maintain my Dao Companion relationship with Uncle Hui Chi?
How am I supposed to act around him day to day?
Are you going to use my body to Dual Cultivate with him and conceive, or should I be intimate with him using your body?"
「Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.」
During those three days,
Xu Lei hadn’t performed Charitable Giving with Zhao Xin again.
After all, the one using Zhao Xin’s body was now Jingchun.
Jingchun hadn’t given an answer to Zhao Xin’s earlier questions.
She only said she needed more time.
Thus, Xu Lei had spent the last three days sleeping alone.
And so far, it seemed Jingchun hadn’t found a solution either.
However, there was one silver lining to the body swap.
When Chun Ying visited again,
she saw that the relationship between Xu Lei and Jingchun had warmed up.
She couldn’t have been more delighted.
After all, the one using Jingchun’s body was Zhao Xin, whose consciousness was naturally fond of Xu Lei.
So, her eyes were filled with tenderness whenever she looked at him.
Even though she only held Xu Lei’s hand while in Jingchun’s body,
the impression it gave Chun Ying was completely different from before.
This completely convinced Chun Ying that Xu Lei and Jingchun had indeed become Dao Companions.
Because of this, Chun Ying even gave Xu Lei a Demon Core.
She said it was a resource she had obtained from the Daoist Sect.
She told Xu Lei to continue developing his relationship with Jingchun.
It would be best if they started Dual Cultivation soon and had a child.
After Chun Ying left,
Xu Lei held out the Demon Core.
But he didn’t know whether to give it to Jingchun in Zhao Xin’s body, or to Zhao Xin in Jingchun’s body.
"Uncle Hui Chi, there’s... there’s no reason for you to give this to me. Either you keep it, or you give it to Master."
"Hui Chi, you keep it. After all, Mother gave it to you."
Hearing them both say this, Xu Lei accepted it.
Xu Lei had already refined another small half of his own Demon Core.
He still had one left from the one he had gotten from Hui Si back then.
The one Jingchun had given him before was also unrefined.
Now he had another, bringing his total stock to three.
This meant he didn’t have to go looking for Demons to hunt at all.
’Why do I feel a bit like a kept man right now?’
Xu Lei couldn’t help but think.
Of course, at that moment, he wasn’t sure which of them he was mooching off of.
The two beauties, one full-figured and one petite, stood on either side of him.
The soul swap
had Xu Lei completely confused.
Although Jingchun was using Zhao Xin’s body,
she was unwilling to let Xu Lei perform Charitable Giving.
This left Xu Lei feeling a bit frustrated.
His Dao Companion was right there, perfectly fine, yet she was gone just like that.
Right in front of him, but he couldn’t perform Charitable Giving.
Who could he even complain to?
"Uncle Hui Chi, hold me."
A few minutes later, after he and Jingchun had parted ways, Zhao Xin came up to him. "It’s been so long since you’ve held me."
"Is this... appropriate?"
Xu Lei looked at the beautiful face of Jingchun before him, and then his gaze drifted down to her incredibly voluptuous figure. "But you’re now—"
"Master won’t know anyway."
Zhao Xin said, "You and I are Dao Companions. We can’t just stare at each other forever, can we?
And let our youth just slip away like this?
Besides, this is all because of Master’s mistake.
Just hold me. It’s okay."
With her putting it like that,
what else was there for Xu Lei to say?
He directly pulled the incredibly curvaceous body before him into his arms.
So soft, so full, so supple.
Her skin was so smooth, so tender.
Xu Lei was overjoyed.
’Looked at this way,’ he thought, ’maybe this isn’t such a bad thing after all?’
