Qin Ye furrowed his brows, âWhat do you mean?â
Arthis responded coldly, âYou wonât be able to defeat even a single one of these extraterritorial emissaries this time. Itâs not your fault. Itâs just that youâd joined the ranks of Hell a little too late, and youâre unable to tap on the powers available to emissaries of the old Hell. That said⊠this doesnât mean thereâs no way to kill them!â
She stared soullessly into the distant night sky, âThis is Cathayâs Hell weâre talking about. We were the strongest underworld back then. The fact that these abominations are here is tantamount to a challenge against Hellâs authority! Donât you wish you could⊠make them leave their lives behind?â
Qin Ye coughed lightly, âI donât have that level of dignity and self-respectâŠâ
It was evident just how strong his will to survive was.
However, this desire for survival was immediately suppressed by Arthisâ chilling gaze.
âCough⊠about that⊠well, go on⊠Iâm listening, and Iâm open to suggestionsâŠâ
Arthis withdrew her gaze and muttered with conviction, âIâll enter you.â
âOnce I enter your body, Iâll be able to display abilities of at least the Hellguard level. Iâll even have access to the underworldly arts. It wouldnât be an issue taking them down at that point in time.â
WTF?!
Qin Yeâs lips quivered, âAbout that⊠Did I mishear you?â
Arthis smiled faintly, âYou misheard nothing.â
âIâll mount you from the front.â âI refuse.â
Silence.
Three seconds later, a particular instructorâs room was thrown into disarray, and it took some time before peace settled in the room once more.
Arthisâ domineering personality was in full bloom. With one foot on the bed and one hand on Qin Yeâs shoulder, she stared at Qin Ye with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, âWhat do you mean? Are you saying that my otherworldly beauty isnât good enough for you? And donât you think youâre rejecting me too outrightly? Iâm hurtâŠâ
Qin Yeâs desire to survive trumped every other consideration in his heart. He tugged shamelessly at his blanket and trembled on his bed, âNo⊠canât we discuss this a little bit more? This humble servant of yours isnât deserving of such a great national beauty like you!â
âThereâs no room for negotiations.â Arthis covered Qin Yeâs mouth with her silicone hands as she smiled in a deep and profound manner, âDo you know something? Killing extraterritorial emissaries nabs you twice the amount of merit points you would get for an equivalent Yin spirit. In other words, killing them would mean attaining the next breakthrough to the rank of an Anitya Hellguard. Whatâs a bodily sacrifice in light of such a great opportunity like that?â
Qin Ye scrunched up the corner of his blanket in agony, â... But I donât even want to be an Anitya Hellguard! Iâm just a meagre little Ezreal floundering about with Zeal!â
âEh? It sounds like youâre despising me arenât you? Do you know how many people were queuing up to make such requests of me? They were even willing to fork out huge sums of moneyâŠâ
âThen go find them!â Why--... I finally understand - youâre coveting my body! No wonder I got the feeling that you were looking at me funny! Are you finally making your move after seeing the perfect opportunity?!â
â... Where does all this self-confidence come from? Fine. Iâm willing to enter a covenant under the Heavenly Dao to the effect that I wonât seize possession of your body. After all, Hell is now directly linked to your soul in any event. Itâs decided then. Be good.â
Arthis began to write in the air in front of her. Moments later, a contract made of Yin energy appeared in mid-air. Qin Ye scanned through its contents and confirmed that everything was in order.
But having this damned woman taint my pure body is a huge problem nonetheless! ARRRGGGHH!!
Director! I donât want this role anymore! You can give it to anyone who wants it!
â... I think weâre being too hot-headed about these things. Something so important should be carefully considered⊠Wait, what are you doing⊠Holy crap! Let go!!â Qin Ye struggled with everything he got, yet before he could finish, Arthis had already grabbed hold of his hand and pressed his thumbprint onto the contract.
Qin Ye fell into a state of despondence.
Why⊠isnât this supposed to be a story of cities and the supernatural? How did it suddenly become a story about a personâs transformation? Can you please draw the line somewhere?!
Arthis giggled softly. For some strange reason, she felt incredibly satisfied teasing the last remaining Emissary of Hell, and she revealed a radiant smile on her silicone face, âThen, shall we begin? Donât be afraid. Youâll get used to it.â
âNo⊠wait a minute! What are you going to do? Iâm not a willing party! Ahhhhh!!!â
Ten minutes later.
Qin Ye sat up on his bed.
And a lifeless and limp silicone doll lay on the bed beside him.
The imagery was a little too dirty.
He picked up a mirror, and slowly ran his warm fingers down the side of his face and paused when he arrived at his jaw. He blinked at his reflection and exclaimed in a deep voice, âThis kid⊠is pretty good-looking.â
âDonât touch me!â Qin Ye gnashed his teeth and yelled at the top of his voice in his mind, âIâm warning you! Donât do anything weird with my body! Otherwise, Iâm breaking up with you!â
âYou donât seem too upset by the situation.â Qin Ye slowly undid his camouflage uniform, âI mean, you even seem to be in the mood for jokes? Eh? Since when did you have abs?â
âWhat the--!! Get your dirty hands off me! Thatâs not something for your hands!! Iâll be damned⊠My eyes!â
It was the stuff of mental breakdowns to see yourself touching yourself.
Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of his worst nightmare.
Qin-Arthis-Ye got to her feet, but the first thing she did was to cross a leg tightly over the other. And then, she furrowed her thick brows immediately. The stance was peculiar to the extreme.
Qin Ye could feel his bulging being throbbing uncontrollably in his mind, âWhat in the world are you trying to do?â
Yet his body didnât give him any response, and she simply continued to rummage around. Qin Ye began to develop a bad premonition, and he softened his voice and spoke as gently as he could, âI mean⊠could you please tell me what youâre looking for?â
âSouermei.â Qin Yeâs body responded curtly, âMy body just feels like somethingâs missingâŠâ
âBloody hell⊠#%(#*&#$(@!!!â A long string of expletives resounded through every corner of his mind, only to receive a displeased response, âThis is business. Iâll return your body to you later. If I donât use it and get accustomed to it, there might be compatibility issues later on. After allâŠâ
His hand picked up a mirror and ran a finger gently across his face, âIâm just a lady when all is said and doneâŠâ
âWhat kind of business do you run donning a Souermei and going to war?! Youâre just a stupid silicone doll!â Qin Ye's mind was on the verge of collapse as he continued cursing at Arthis.
His body suddenly set the mirror down and furrowed his brows, âThose who are to achieve great things in life must not be shackled by the little things in this world. Look at how petty you are⊠Fine, I wonât put it on. Iâll just have to get accustomed to it.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ye discovered his hand shifting away from the bed and plunging straight into his camouflage pants. And then, a peculiar expression ran across his face.
âOh my words⊠Whatâs this⊠Doesnât that feel a little bit strangeâŠâ His body moaned.
âGet! Away! From! Me!! Take your hands out! Take your hands out right out!!â That was the last straw. Qin Ye went completely bonkers in his mind.
This is my own absolute domain⊠how could it be defiled just like that by this old granny?!
Dozens of minutes later.
His body still revealed a displeased expression on its face, âI still canât get the hang of it. It just feels as though Iâve got an extra two taels of flesh coming out of my body. Should I⊠just cut them off? Iâll glue it back for you before leaving your body.â
The veins on Qin Yeâs forehead throbbed, âOnly two taels?!â
His body frowned, âDonât you think your focus is a little bit off the mark? Who do you think I was talking to when I asked for permission to cut them off? And Iâm just borrowing your body for a few hours. Why does it always have to be so difficult with you?â
â... Big sister, Iâm begging you. Can you please just fall into a boiling cauldron and die? Donât mess with me anymoreâŠâ
âTskâŠâ Just as Arthis was about to continue, her body suddenly trembled, and Qin Ye promptly passed out on the bed.
When he woke up again, he found both himself and the silicone doll sitting up at exactly the same time. The silicone doll glanced longingly at her own hands, while Qin Ye immediately reached his hands into his pants.
Phew⊠my little brothers are still intact. Thatâs reassuring.
Fortunately, this woman isnât completely deranged just yet.
âExplain.â Qin Ye rolled up his sleeves as he stared daggers at the silicone doll, âSpeak! How long have you lusted after my beautiful face? Youâve taken advantage of this opportunity to make use of me!â
âOh? Hehehe⊠HahaâŠâ Arthis chuckled dryly, âHowâs that possible.â
She continued without missing a beat, âItâs been centuries since Iâve last touched a man, and youâre still unwilling to cut me some slack? Otherwise, do you really think Iâd make a move on you given your appearances?â
It sounded so cogent and well-reasoned that Qin Ye was actually rendered speechless.
âAlright.â Having noticed the suicidal glint in Qin yeâs eyes, Arthis flicked her hand, sending Qin Ye back half a meter away, âBear this in mind - each instance of possession lasts a maximum of two and a half hours.â
She added, âThe artifact used by those two Nipponese emissaries are actually a replica eight-feet mirror. Although itâs a replica, it has undoubtedly been tainted with the aura of their queen of the underworld, Izanami. Iâm certain that the other extraterritorial emissaries would also have brought with them their own treasures that have been blessed by their own lords of the underworlds as well. If I donât possess your body, Gu Qing soul would most certainly be out of your reach.â
Qin Ye fervently suppressed the thought of tearing Arthis to shreds. After much effort, he finally managed to cool off, sigh deeply and nod his head knowingly.
Gu Qingâs resume made him perfect for Hell right now. Letting him slip out of his grasp would be too much of a waste.
And most importantly, the actions of the extraterritorial emissaries were tantamount to a barrage of slaps to his face - and resounding ones at that.
Hell was once among the top - if not the top - underworld around. But now, even riff raff like these dared to come and go as they pleased. Perhaps the other emissaries werenât aware that the lame Emissary of Hell that they had just clashed against was none other than the future King Yanluo. Nevertheless, even he would feel ashamed.
And not only had they come, they were even attempting to seize Gu Qingâs soul from right under his nose! This was his turf, so how could he stand idly by and tolerate such audacity?!
Duty and power came hand in hand. After forking out so much for Hellâs reestablishment, he was naturally entitled to enjoy the power and authority that came along with it.
Almost as though she could perceive the contemplations on his heart, Arthis remarked, âDonât worry. Entering your body⊠Such possession is completely different from the kind that usurps control from your body. Usurping or seizing is something that any Yin spirit can only do once in its entire lifetime. It would be a waste if I used it on you.â
Qin Ye finally smiled and flashed his middle finger right at Arthis, âAlthough I hate to say this⊠but⊠thank you.â
âWeâre friends with benefits, arenât we?â Arthis glanced out of the window and muttered through gritted teeth, âThose who dare cause trouble in Cathay had better be prepared to die for it. This is something that all underworlds have known since time immemorial.â
âWeâre the only ones allowed to seize from others. Having a soul seized from us is an occurrence so rare that itâs practically unheard of.â
She gently tightened her grip, and the window frame immediately cracked, âSince theyâve forgotten these universal principles⊠then I, as the remaining Judge, shall take it upon myself to remind them.â
Qin Ye mulled over it, âHow confident are you?â
âAt least seventy percent.â Arthis turned around responded firmly, âPossession without usurpation means that my abilities will fall by one qualitative level. An Anitya Hellguard is only one level above Soul Hunters. Furthermore, all of them are equipped to the teeth with treasures blessed by their respective lords of the underworld. This is why I wouldnât dare say that Iâm a hundred percent confident.â
â... Werenât you just speaking as though it were a done deal?â
â... Werenât you the one who told me the first thing I should do every morning is to pump myself up?â
â... Ah⊠Dear, I think youâve got it all wrongâŠâ
