Chapter 100

The three pills melted instantly upon entering his mouth, their medicinal power spreading throughout his body in a flash. The immense pain stimulated Ding Shuang’s nerves; had he not previously ingested a “Death-Seeking Pill,” Ding Shuang would have fainted in this state.

With a roar, two flying swords appeared in each of Ding Shuang’s hands. One of the swords severed his right index finger, from which hung the black ring that held Yao Lao’s soul. The ring fell into his palm and was stored in his Infinite Backpack. Once stored in the Infinite Backpack, Ding Shuang could retrieve it.

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was originally on Ding Shuang’s body. Fearing that something might happen during the auction, Ding Shuang asked Ding Shuang to take the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python with her.

It sounds slow, but it actually happened in an instant. Four flying swords flew out at lightning speed, piercing through the four beggars who were raping the four women. With a flash of sword light, the four women were pulled in and flown out of the cave.

Flying swords can kill or save. Ding Shuang controlled the flying sword and carried the four women towards Ding Shuang’s direction. On the other side, Ding Shuang, who had recovered to about 70-80%, also set up a flying sword and rushed over. After all, the flying sword launched in haste contained limited battle qi and could not fly directly to Ding Shuang.

The incident happened extremely suddenly; Hun Dan never expected Ding Shuang to recover her fighting spirit and mobility so quickly. He had been constantly sensing the state of Ding Shuang’s fighting spirit, and by the time he realized something was wrong, his flying sword had already carried the four women out of the cave. Ding Shuang also shook off Thirteen Sister and ran towards the cave entrance.

Hun Dan flashed behind Ding Shuang and struck him on the back, knocking him to the ground where he rolled several times. Ding Shuang scrambled to his feet and coughed up a large amount of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs. Without even glancing at them, he continued running towards the cave exit.

The effects of the “Death-Seeking Pill” became apparent at this moment. Such a heavy blow should have killed Ding Shuang, but it kept him alive while his internal organs were reduced to a puddle of mush, and he was experiencing intense pain.

The “Death-Seeking Pill” already inflicted Ding Shuang with intense pain, and this blow only exacerbated the agony. The sensation was surreal; he could clearly feel the combined agony of the two pains, a combined force far greater than the sum of its parts.

Such intense sensory stimulation would have made most people faint from the pain, but how could the “Die-Seeking Pill” make Ding Shuang faint? Not only would it not make him faint, it would also keep him fully conscious.

Hun Dan was shocked that Ding Shuang was still alive. Just as he was about to continue his attack, Thirteen Sister attacked him from behind. Thirteen Sister was a six-star Dou Wang, and her full-force palm strike seriously injured Hun Dan.

The situation changed too quickly. From Ding Shuang killing, saving lives, and escaping with severe injuries, to Hun Dan being ambushed by Shisan Niang, all of this happened within ten breaths. The beggars stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend that Shisan Niang would betray Hun Dan!

Having successfully launched a sneak attack, Thirteen Sister continued her assault on Soul Dan. Soul Dan spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, “Thirteen Sister, are you insane!” After barely managing to withstand a few of Thirteen Sister’s attacks, he finally found an opportunity to counterattack and suppressed Thirteen Sister.

Ding Shuang, who was standing near the cave entrance, did not take this opportunity to escape. If he had wanted to, he would have already used his flying sword to run away with the four women. Although he only had five flying swords, he could control one and carry another person without significantly affecting his speed.

Ding Shuang deliberately stayed behind to kill everyone here! Ding Shuang clasped his hands together, instantly releasing all his battle qi, and rubbed a fire lotus in his palms! The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame condensed into a two-colored fire lotus under the core formed by the Primordial Desire Flame!

Ding Shuang’s actions alarmed the system, which anxiously cried out in her mind, “Host, stop! Stop now! You’ll die!”

Ding Shuang was taken aback and asked, “I took the ‘Cannot Die Pill,’ how could I possibly die?”

The system replied, “Host, the ‘Pill of Not Being Able to Die’ can only keep you alive while you remain in human form. If you are burned to ashes, even the ‘Pill of Not Being Able to Die’ will not save you!”

In order to kill everyone here, Ding Shuang completely drained his fighting spirit. After throwing the fire lotus, he had no strength left to escape and would definitely be affected by the explosion.

Upon hearing the system’s explanation that the “Die-Seeking Pill” couldn’t save his life, Ding Shuang made a decision instantly. He resolutely threw the Fire Lotus at Hun Dan, put the ring in his hand into his Infinite Backpack, exchanged it for a golden card, and disappeared after a flash of white light.

Meanwhile, Ding Shuang, who shared the same thought, used the Golden Cicada’s Remains the instant Ding Shuang used the limited-time return card, ensuring she could remain on the Dou Qi Continent. Sure enough, only Ding Shuang traveled away.

A loud noise erupted from the cave, and a huge mushroom cloud rose over the Black Corner Plain, illuminating the Black Seal City, which had already fallen into darkness, as if it were daytime.

The people of Black Seal City looked in horror toward the direction from which the mushroom cloud had risen, wondering which powerful figure was fighting there. The destructive power was at least at the Dou Zun level! From that moment on, Hun Dan’s influence in the Black Corner Region was wiped out by the flames.

Ding Shuang discovered that Shisan Niang’s name was missing from the panel, and the number of people controlled by Tai Chu Yu Huo had changed from 9 to 8. The total number of people controlled by 11 had not decreased, and the experience of Yu Nu Xin Jing had not decreased either.

It seems that the death of the controlled person won’t affect her too much. However, Ding Shuang discovered that her connection with Ding Shuang had been severed again, just like when she entered the world of The King’s Avatar last time.

Ding Shuang, who had used the limited-time return card, was knocked unconscious by a tremendous force the moment he transmigrated, and even the “Seeking Death Pill” could not keep him conscious.

Ding Shuang felt this power in the last second before she lost consciousness. It was a power that was above all else and completely irresistible!

Instead of returning directly to the real world as usual, Ding Shuang floated rapidly through a dazzling, multicolored tunnel at near the speed of light. The system’s voice kept ringing in his mind, but he couldn’t hear a single word.

“Warning! Warning! The host has forcibly traversed from one sub-world to another, causing spatial tremors! The host has been detected to be unconscious! Escape mode activated, prepare to abandon this host at any time.”

“Warning! Warning! Random travel card activated. Host will be transported to an SS-level world. Given the host’s current condition, there is a high probability of instant death upon impact with the world’s barrier! Impact countdown: ten, nine, eight…”

“Warning! Warning! The host has failed to completely break through the world barrier and is about to be swept into the temporal turbulence. Be prepared to abandon this host and escape! Countdown to being swept into the temporal turbulence: five, four, three…”

Ding Shuang, flying at full speed in the Black Corner Region, did not hear the system’s voice, as if the system was deliberately keeping her in the dark about her current situation. Anxious to welcome the four women, Ding Shuang had no time to inquire about the system’s status. She needed to constantly sense the approaching flying swords, as she needed to establish a connection with them before the battle energy within them was depleted, thus pulling the four women over.

Just as Ding Shuang sensed the four flying swords, she realized she had lost contact with the system! The words on the panel instantly turned gray, as if covered in a layer of dust. Ding Shuang’s heart skipped a beat; she couldn’t immediately re-establish contact with the four flying swords. Fortunately, some fighting spirit remained within the swords, preventing the four women from crashing and dying.

Ding Shuang quickly calmed herself and took control of the flying sword. She and Ding Shuang were originally one, so taking control of the flying sword was effortless. Although she had lost contact with the system, everything she had obtained from it remained, which relieved Ding Shuang.

Ding Shuang then gave a bitter smile. Without the system, how was she supposed to return to the real world? Since I was still alive, that proved that Ding Shuang wasn’t dead! As long as Ding Shuang returned to the real world, that would be fine.

After taking control of the flying sword, Ding Shuang was no longer in such a hurry to travel, and slowly guided the flying sword to converge on a certain location. Ding Shuang took out the ring containing Yao Lao’s soul from the Infinite Backpack and put it on her hand. She had now become Xiao Yan, or more accurately, only Xiao Yan’s appearance, without the large penis between her legs.

The purpose of the Golden Cicada’s molt is to allow the original body or the true clone to remain in this secondary world as Xiao Yan. Normally, the gender of the true clone is the same as that of the original body, but the true clone that Ding Shuang obtained is of a different gender than himself.

Using the Golden Cicada’s Remains in this situation would also transform Ding Shuang into Xiao Yan, but it would be a gender-swapped Xiao Yan. Ding Shuang would still need to use a disguise technique to change herself, transforming herself into the male form of Xiao Yan.

When Ding Shuang retrieved the ring, she noticed something amiss with her Infinite Backpack; it seemed the number of limited-time return cards hadn’t decreased! How had Ding Shuang traveled through time then? Ding Shuang carefully examined the items in her Infinite Backpack and discovered that one card was indeed missing—the random time-travel card she had drawn in the real world!

Ding Shuang slapped her forehead, her face contorted with constipation! Damn it! In her haste, she grabbed the wrong card! Ding Shuang hadn’t returned to the real world but had instead transmigrated to another secondary world! Damn it! Without the system, does that mean the two of them would be trapped in that secondary world, unable to escape?

Having lost contact with Ding Shuang again, Ding Shuang had no idea of ​​Ding Shuang’s current situation. Now she could only take it one step at a time, since she and Ding Shuang were essentially one entity, though not two separate individuals. If all else failed, she would diligently cultivate and continuously ascend, perhaps finding a way back.

After receiving the four women, Ding Shuang gave them pills and flew towards Blackrock City with them. The pills Ding Shuang gave the women not only had healing effects but also had a sedative effect.

Upon arriving in Blackrock City, Ding Shuang found it in complete chaos. The strange phenomenon caused by the Buddha’s Wrathful Lotus had instilled unease in the people of Blackrock City. After the flames subsided, many powerful individuals left Blackrock City and quietly went to the scene of the incident to investigate. The area was shrouded in smoke and dust, making it difficult to discern anything immediately.

The smoke and dust stirred up by the Buddha’s Wrath Lotus spread to Blackrock City, making it seem as if the city was experiencing a sandstorm. Taking advantage of this, Ding Shuang quietly led the four women back to their previously rented room, placing them on the bed and shaking them awake. Upon waking and seeing the familiar room and Ding Shuang sitting beside the bed in Xiao Yan’s form, the four women immediately burst into tears and hugged her.

Ding Shuang kept comforting the women, telling them not to be afraid, that everything was over. Hun Dan and his gang had already been killed; just consider it a nightmare. After comforting the women, Ding Shuang went downstairs, ordered a table of food and wine, and instructed the waiter to deliver it to their room.

Upon returning to her room, Ding Shuang sensed something was amiss. Xiao Xun’er, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Mei were sitting around Ya Fei, while Ya Fei sat blankly on the edge of the bed, as if she had lost her soul, the deathly aura she had felt in the cave reappearing in her eyes.

This sight of Ya Fei truly startled Ding Shuang. She had lost contact with Ding Shuang earlier, only reconnecting just before the attack. Recalling the synchronized memories, Ding Shuang understood everything. Ya Fei was clearly contemplating suicide; judging from the way the three women sat around her, she had just attempted suicide but was stopped by them.

Ding Shuang felt a mix of heartache and relief. Heartache for Ya Fei, who was now determined to die, and relief that she had allowed the other three girls to have fun freely at the academy. If all four of them were to attempt suicide now, she wouldn’t be able to stop them.

Ding Shuang sat down next to Ya Fei and embraced her. Xiao Xun’er gave the other two women a wink and they left the room, leaving Ding Shuang and Ya Fei to deal with the matter. Xiao Xun’er instructed the waiter to bring the food to the next room later to avoid disturbing Ding Shuang and Ya Fei.

Ding Shuang was at a loss as to how to handle the situation. Ya Fei’s condition was different from Xiao Mei’s when she was raped by Liu Xi. Xiao Mei only suffered a great emotional blow but did not want to die. However, Ya Fei’s experience this time was not only rape, but gang rape, and most importantly, gang rape in front of Ding Shuang.

Ding Shuang forced herself to say comforting words to Ya Fei, but no matter how she tried, Ya Fei showed no signs of improvement. Ding Shuang hardened her heart, turned Ya Fei’s face towards her, and angrily said, “Ya Fei, look at me! Do you feel dirty because you were gang-raped? And it happened in front of me, so I know you’re dirty? Yes, you are dirty! I think you’re dirty too!”

Upon hearing Ding Shuang say that she was dirty, and that she also felt dirty, her previously lifeless eyes changed, becoming filled with immense sadness and despair! Although her desire to die became even more resolute, she broke free from that listless state.

Seeing that her stimulation therapy was working, Ding Shuang continued, “You probably found out about Xun’er and the others cheating on me in the cave, right? Speaking of which, Xun’er and the others have been fucked by every man in Canaan Academy. If we’re talking about filth, they’re filthier than you!”

Of course, this was Ding Shuang’s exaggeration; she didn’t know the exact number of men the three women had been with. But to give Ya Fei more of a shock, she said it was all men.

As expected, this news shocked Ya Fei. Her expression of despair and sorrow was replaced by shock, and she looked at Ding Shuang with disbelief.

“You know what? I know everything Xun’er and the others did at the academy, because I made them do it. The dirtier you are, the more excited I get; the more you’re fucked, the more I love you! So, after this incident, I do think you’re dirty, but I love you even more!” Ding Shuang spouted nonsense with a straight face, while inwardly slapping herself repeatedly.

Listening to Ding Shuang’s explanation, Ya Fei gradually regained her composure and murmured as if to herself, “Is it true? You’re not just lying to comfort me, are you?”

“Sister Yafei, you’re the Queen of Gold, think this through! Without my permission and encouragement, would Xun’er and the others have cheated on me? And I also have something to tell you. I paid a heavy price in the last battle, and I’ve discovered that I seem to be unable to get an erection.” To avoid making Yafei overthink, Ding Shuang could only lie and say that she was impotent. Of course, it wasn’t exactly a lie, since she didn’t even have a penis, so how could she get an erection?

“Ah?” Ya Fei was instantly speechless, looking at Ding Shuang with worry. She quickly asked, “Xiao… Xiao Yan, are you really unable to get an erection? What can we do? Are there any pills that can cure this?”

Ding Shuang shook her head and said, “I’m an alchemist, and I don’t have any pills that can cure my current problem. I can only rely on your help. Whenever I think about how you were gang-raped, I can get a little bit hard, maybe I need even more stimulation. Sister Ya Fei, please don’t do anything foolish again, my future sexual happiness depends on you.” Hard my ass! If it weren’t for the system acting up, would I have given Xiao Xun’er and Xiao Yu away?

Ya Fei hadn’t expected Ding Shuang to pay such a high price to save everyone. Tears streaming down her face, she nodded and said, “Yes, yes, I’ll try my best. You like us getting dirty, right? I’ll try my best to become even dirtier!”

Ding Shuang slapped her forehead inwardly. What a mess! What kind of strange worldview had she instilled in Ya Fei? No, if this continued, Ya Fei would ruin herself. After all, she had only made up the story to dissuade Ya Fei from committing suicide, not to turn Ya Fei from the Queen of Gold into the Queen of Lust!

Ding Shuang immediately explained, “Sister Yafei, you misunderstood. What I meant by needing more stimulation isn’t the kind that relies on quantity. Speaking of quantity, Xun’er and the others have done quite a lot, but I still can’t get hard. What I need is that kind of… well, I can’t quite describe it right now. Anyway, Sister Yafei, don’t rush into anything until I’ve figured it out.”

Ya Fei nodded, seemingly understanding, and said, “Okay, Xiao Yan, I’ll think of something for you too. Don’t worry! I’ll definitely find a way to help you recover! By the way, do Xun’er and the others know about this?”

Ding Shuang said, “I haven’t had a chance to tell them yet, but please keep it a secret for now. I want to tell them when I get to the academy, and ask them to help me think of a solution there.”

Ya Fei nodded and said, “Xiao Yan, I will keep this a secret. You must recover as soon as possible! No matter what, I will only love you!”

Hearing Ya Fei’s confession, Ding Shuang’s heart trembled. She loved only one person, but sadly, she was destined to let Ya Fei down. On one hand, she had never truly considered herself a part of this world, and at the same time, she was striving to return to the mortal realm; on the other hand, she loved only one person in her heart, and that was Han Rongbing.

After comforting Ya Fei, Ding Shuang held her and slept through the night. The next day, Ding Shuang brought Ya Fei and Xiao Xun’er downstairs for breakfast. Seeing that Ya Fei had recovered, the three women tacitly avoided mentioning what had happened the day before.

At the dinner table, Xiao Mei chattered on about the three of them’s experiences in the Black Corner Region, with Xiao Yu occasionally adding details. Xiao Xun’er smiled and looked at everyone without speaking, while Ding Shuang and Ya Fei listened attentively.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, a woman wearing a straw hat entered the hotel, went straight to Ding Shuang, left a letter, and then left. Ding Shuang took the letter in astonishment, watching the woman’s departing figure with confusion, wondering who she was. Opening the letter, Ding Shuang discovered it was a message sent by Yu Jue.

The letter stated that due to a battle suspected to involve Dou Zun level experts discovered near Blackrock City, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the auction originally scheduled for twenty days later would be postponed to three days later. Furthermore, a new sixth-grade pill, the Dou Ling Pill, would be added to the auction list. Nearby forces would come to participate in the bidding, and even forces from further afield had already arrived in Blackrock City. This auction would be the grandest in nearly ten years.

Ding Shuang hadn’t expected that her Super Fire Lotus would actually bring the auction forward, allowing her and Xun’er to make it back to school in time for the Inner Academy assessment. Oh, and there was still a quest to help Ya Fei. Even though her character panel was grayed out, she had to complete it for Ya Fei’s sake.

The auction began, and Ya Fei, holding the VIP card given to her by the auction house for the Battle Spirit Pill, entered with the assassins of the Mittel family. Ding Shuang and Xiao Xun’er entered with another VIP card, which Ding Shuang had obtained in exchange for refining the Six-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. This time, the Six-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill refined by Ding Shuang had even clearer patterns, almost reaching the level of a sixth-grade pill. The addition of these two pills at the last minute caught the auction participants off guard, potentially making the battle after the auction even more intense.

At the auction, Ya Fei focused solely on bidding on the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, while Ding Shuang bid on the incomplete map and the Three Thousand Thunderbolts. He didn’t even consider the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, figuring he couldn’t possibly win it. In the end, Ding Shuang only obtained the incomplete map, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill went to the Blood Sect, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion acquired the Flying Combat Technique and the Six-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, the Black Skull Tomb obtained the Three Thousand Thunderbolts and the Battle Spirit Pill, and Ya Fei obtained the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique.

Ding Shuang was relieved that Ya Fei had successfully obtained a Heaven-Rank Battle Skill, reducing the number of potential rivals. According to the previous arrangement, three assassins from the Mittel family had already left the group and returned, and would be sent to pick up Ya Fei. Ding Shuang would then use her flying sword to transport Ya Fei to a designated location, a place far from the Black Corner Region where the danger would be less. The remaining assassins were meant to be sold; it was highly likely that none of them would return. That’s just how cruel this world is.

After seeing Ya Fei off, Ding Shuang immediately took a recovery pill she had refined herself. She used to think these slow-recovery pills weren’t very useful, but now she didn’t think so anymore. If she had had a few of these a few days ago, she wouldn’t have lost contact with Ding Shuang in this accident.

Half an hour later, Ding Shuang led Xiao Xun’er and the others to compete for their own opportunities. They had to get their hands on the Three Thousand Thunderclaps and the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill! To survive in the current situation, they couldn’t let go of any opportunity in the book.

When Ding Shuang arrived at the scene, she found the Blood Sect, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and the Black Skull Tomb locked in a fierce battle. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion was in the worst shape, with only Elder Qing and three others struggling to hold on. The Black Skull Tomb was in no better shape, with only a dozen or so people left, also resisting the Blood Sect’s attack.

Ding Shuang was puzzled. Why hadn’t she seen Fan Lao? Could it be… Oh no! Ding Shuang was startled. Fan Lao might have lost his way to Zhui Ya Fei! However, Ding Shuang was powerless to do anything about it now. The flying sword was extremely fast and had already flown out of her sensing range.

Ding Shuang poured all her fighting spirit into the flying sword. Although it was much more wasteful than controlling it herself, it was still able to fly at full speed for nearly ten hours before slowly descending.

It’s just that we don’t know if Fan Lao is good at speed. Ding Shuang doesn’t dare to completely trust the novel anymore, after all, Hun Dan, who appeared before, wasn’t in the novel.

As Ding Shuang had guessed, Fan Lao did indeed chase after Ya Fei. When the sword light carried Ya Fei away, Fan Lao flew after it. However, the sword light was extremely fast, much faster than the flight speed of an ordinary Dou Huang, and soon Fan Lao was left behind.

However, Fan Lao noticed the sword light was flying in one direction, so he continued the pursuit. After chasing for an hour, Fan Lao gave up. He felt a strange sense of unease, as if it foreshadowed potential problems on the other side, so he turned back. He planned to arrange for others to pursue in that direction upon his return.

Just as Fan Lao returned, the battle on the Blood Sect’s side was nearing its end. The first to collapse was the Black Skull Tomb, which lacked high-end combat power. In order to prevent rogue cultivators from taking advantage of the chaos, the Blood Sect first collected the relics of the Black Skull Tomb members and handed them over to Fan Ling.

Just as Fan Ling was happily putting away his belongings and the Blood Sect experts were about to attack the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Ding Shuang suddenly made her move! Two sword lights flashed by, one piercing through Fan Ling’s brow, and the other severing Fan Ling’s right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and then returning to him.

After the sword light returned, two more sword lights followed, making a total of four sword lights disappearing into the distance! All of this happened so suddenly that no one present could react. A furious roar rang out in the distance, “Ah! Ling’er! I’ll kill you! Blood Sect members, heed my command, give chase with all your might!”

Upon receiving Fan Lao’s order, the Blood Sect members immediately abandoned the four members of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who were on the verge of collapse and turned to chase after the sword light!
