Chapter 145: Dongfang Mu, You're Really a Pervert!_4
"I had already given up all hope...until that Divine Fish appeared..."
Wang Mu had come to know the events that followed, yet he could not fully perceive her feelings.
If all this were real... Waiting for a scoundrel who returned after a thousand years... if it were me, I would have lost patience long ago and captured him for a thorough interrogation, Wang Mu thought.
"So now you..." Wang Mu fell silent. The Emperor Spirit Pearl can only temporarily alleviate her condition. Unless she achieves Ascension?
Miss You bowed her head, saying nothing.
"Is Ascension very difficult?" Wang Mu asked.
"..." Miss You remained silent.
Miss You lifted her head and glared irritably at Wang Mu. "Your Yan Sword Immortal severed his emotions and cultivated dispassionately for a thousand years. While his cultivation might not be the absolute foremost in all of history, he's nearly there, with one foot already through the door. Yet, even he finds it difficult to break through this barrier."
"The Gate of Apocalypse has opened, but the Immortal Sect remains unopened."
"To want to ascend, to truly survey the universe—how could that be easy?"
"Moreover, I am still burdened by a curse..."
"If this were a thousand years ago, when I possessed the Emperor Spirit Pearl, my situation wouldn't have been so dire. But without it for these past thousand years, the curse has become too heavy. Unless it's significantly weakened, I can hardly take another step forward in my cultivation!"
Wang Mu nodded slightly.
"Is there really no way at all?" Wang Mu asked.
Miss You shook her head. Clearly, she couldn't find a solution either; if she had, she probably wouldn't be in this state.
"Miss You, may I see your original appearance?" Wang Mu suddenly asked. He wanted to see what Nanrong Biyou, after bearing the Heavenly Dao's curse for a thousand years, truly looked like now... This current appearance was certainly not her true form. It was merely an illusion she had created, based on how she looked a thousand years ago. Although it was her likeness, it wasn't the true her of a thousand years later. Nor was it the appearance of the renowned Immortal Bi You.
Miss You tensed and instinctively moved a few steps away from Wang Mu, shaking her head. "No."
"Why not?"
"Just no."
"Then how are we supposed to be together?" Wang Mu looked at her. "Does Miss You plan to keep deceiving me like this indefinitely?"
"I haven't..." Miss You said, her head bowed low.
"Rest assured, no matter what, I don't mind," Wang Mu said.
"I mind."
"..."
After a moment of silence.
"Do you really want to see?" Miss You lifted her head, her lips pursed, her eyelids trembling slightly.
Wang Mu nodded.
"Very well."
Miss You took a deep breath, stood up, walked over to Wang Mu, and said softly, "Brother Mu, if you wish to leave after seeing me, I won't stop you."
Is it really that serious? Wang Mu wondered. He didn't speak, just kept gazing at her.
Seeing this, Miss You softly recited a mantra. Instantly, a faint mist rose around her. Within this swirling fog, her form began to transform gradually, starting with her lower body. Her originally long, slender legs swiftly morphed into a serpentine form covered with countless scales, each inch radiating formidable power.
Wang Mu was startled. He had somewhat anticipated this.
The mist gradually dispersed, revealing her upper body. Relatively speaking, it hadn't changed much, only appearing somewhat taller. Colorful scales adorned her neck, spreading to her lower jaw.
Her face, once as beautiful as a dream, was now partly veiled by her light blue hair. This revealed several dark, arcane lines, resembling some mysterious curse, that likely covered most of her cheek. She looked supremely majestic, exuding an aura capable of deterring myriad demons.
And those vertical pupils of hers... they emanated an unparalleled majesty, a presence and divine power found only in Ascension Realm experts.
Now, as the mist fully dissipated, what was revealed was the true form of Immortal Bi You!
Not human at all... The Wa Clan... they truly weren't human. Especially one who had cultivated the Heavenly Snake Nine Transformations. After the cataclysmic changes in Heaven and Earth, this Cultivation Technique inherited by the Wa Clan had probably also transformed according to the new rules. Nanrong Biyou, possessing the Wa Clan bloodline—to be precise, this was her original appearance now. Her previous human form was from a time when her Cultivation Technique was not yet fully mastered, and her bloodline had not yet awakened.
Wang Mu's eyes widened considerably as he stared at Immortal Bi You. Her human torso and serpentine lower body, the aura that could dominate the entire Jiuzhou Sea Domain, those cold eyes...
No wonder she could subdue countless Evil Beasts. A single glance from her was enough to send a chill to the very soul... Yet, Wang Mu inexplicably felt it was somewhat... intriguing.
"Are you satisfied now..." Immortal Bi You's voice was tinged with a delicate coldness. She turned her back to Wang Mu and said coldly, "Go if you want to leave. This form of mine certainly can't compare to Mu Hongyuan, nor to that Yan Sword Immortal..."
"..." Wang Mu remained silent.
He walked over without hesitation and embraced the revealed true form of Immortal Bi You from behind. The touch was naturally not as soft as Miss You's human form, but his heart, surprisingly, felt even a little more thrilled than before...
"How could I?" Wang Mu said, trying to turn Immortal Bi You's body to face him.
But he found her body was as hard as iron and filled with immense strength. The slightest exertion of his own was met with a rebounding force so powerful it nearly made him spit blood.
"..." Wang Mu was speechless.
Is this the true physical form of an Ascension Realm expert? Is their physical body really this powerful? Heavenly Snake Nine Transformations... each transformation grants an extremely terrifying increase in strength... Damn it, Nanrong Biyou is also a Body Cultivation practitioner... And she also possesses the Wa God's bloodline...
Wang Mu was inwardly startled. If he were to land a punch on her with his current physique, the rebounding force alone would be enough to kill him instantly.
