Chapter 141: Battle Against Dai Weisi
Perhaps because the Ice Empress was also a soul beast, the relationship between the two women had never been bad to begin with. As such, the Snow Empress did not harbor any particular resistance toward the Ice Empress.
So long as Qi Tian took the initiative a little, he could easily grow close to the Snow Empress.
The reason the Ice Empress had failed in the past was that she had unconsciously placed herself in a weaker position and had no idea what the Snow Empress truly needed.
If Qi Tian showed just a bit more concern—enough to dispel the loneliness in the Snow Empress's heart—it would not take long before the Snow Empress developed a sense of reliance on him.
This kind of reliance had nothing to do with romantic love, but relationships always developed step by step.
When that time came, Qi Tian's mission could be considered complete.
However, in the Ice Empress's eyes, this was a major breakthrough in their relationship, and she carefully studied it frame by frame.
After finishing the snacks, Qi Tian pulled the Snow Empress along, using the excuse of "experiencing human beds," and the two of them slept together.
As night fell, Qi Tian held the Snow Empress in his arms, his hands behaving rather dishonestly as they explored.
"Ice Empress, what are you doing?" The Snow Empress's face was expressionless, her voice cold, as if she were refusing him.
Qi Tian had long since grown accustomed to the Snow Empress's expression and tone. He knew that she was not actually rejecting him but genuinely asking a question.
"Snow Empress, don't you think it feels more comfortable to sleep while hugging each other? I've seen humans sleep like this," Qi Tian said.
"Is that so?" The Snow Empress seemed willing to give it a try. She wrapped her arms around Qi Tian in return. "It does seem quite nice!"
She had lived alone for who knows how long and had never experienced a feeling like this before.
Yet Qi Tian had broken her long-standing state of solitude. Since the sensation felt rather pleasant, she quietly began to enjoy Qi Tian's care and concern.
Looking at the Snow Empress's flawless face so close at hand, Qi Tian's heart unexpectedly began to race.
"So beautiful…" Qi Tian thought to himself, hugging the Snow Empress a little tighter.
If not for his cultivation being far too low, he truly wanted to come here in person, replace the Ice Empress, and share a bed with the Snow Empress himself.
"Qi Tian, please, let me do it!" The Ice Empress was incredibly envious.
Although she could share the sensations, it was ultimately inferior to personally controlling the body and satisfying herself.
She knew that Qi Tian would be leaving at midnight, but she did not want to wait even one second longer.
Qi Tian ignored her and quietly savored the time spent with the Snow Empress until midnight arrived and his split soul returned to his main body.
...
Star Luo City. Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qi Tian's cultivation progress with his twin martial souls finally showed some improvement, and his spiritual power was also slowly increasing under the nourishment of Tianmeng's spiritual origin.
Perhaps due to the rise in spiritual power, as well as Xiao Wu's two soul rings, Qi Tian's twin martial souls began to form a faint connection.
Although he was still unable to use the soul skills of both martial souls simultaneously, he could now maintain the Blue Silver Grass's disguise soul skill while using his Body martial soul.
In this state, he could better unleash the physical strength advantages of his body.
The Dai family's White Tiger martial soul was also a power-type battle martial soul, allowing Qi Tian to more convincingly disguise himself as Dai Mubai.
Qi Tian believed that one day, he would be able to use the soul skills of both martial souls at the same time, achieving an effect comparable to a martial soul fusion skill.
After several more days, Dai Weisi finally finished dealing with his affairs and prepared to teach his useless younger brother a lesson.
Under the surveillance of Ling Yuan, Zhu Zhuyun did not leak Zhu Zhuqing's plan.
Early in the morning, Zhu Zhuyun brought Dai Weisi with her and went straight to Zhu Zhuqing's residence to block the entrance.
"Dai Mubai, get the hell out here!" Dai Weisi activated his soul power, his voice echoing throughout the Zhu Family's territory.
He did this deliberately, intending to establish his authority by using his useless younger brother as an example.
He had done this long ago. Otherwise, Dai Mubai would not have been so frightened that he fled to the Heaven Dou Empire and ended up wasting his days in Suo Tuo City.
Hearing the commotion, Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing stopped their cultivation and calmly walked outside.
Seeing how affectionate "Dai Mubai" and Zhu Zhuqing looked, Dai Weisi assumed they had just gotten out of bed and could not help but frown.
He had long since planted informants around Dai Mubai, so he naturally knew exactly what kind of person Dai Mubai was.
Now, seeing Zhu Zhuqing's radiant, spring-filled complexion, it was easy to infer the nature of the relationship between the two.
"Hmph! Indulging in women all day long—you've completely disgraced the name of our Dai family!" Dai Weisi said bitterly.
Zhu Zhuyun, meanwhile, also looked at "Dai Mubai" and Zhu Zhuqing with confusion, constantly speculating about the true nature of their relationship.
'Didn't Zhuqing say she and Dai Mubai weren't like that? Could it be that she was lying to me?'
'How foolish… how could she sacrifice her own purity like this?'
Zhu Zhuyun mistakenly believed that Zhu Zhuqing had exchanged her body for Dai Mubai's support, and she felt deeply that it was not worth it for her sister.
Qi Tian stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing, blocking Dai Weisi's line of sight.
"Dai Weisi, as a member of the imperial family, what's wrong with actively carrying on the family bloodline?"
"On the contrary, you—having such a beautiful fiancée and not making a move—don't tell me you have some unspeakable problem?"
Since Qi Tian was disguising himself as Dai Mubai, he naturally had to maintain his persona. A mediocre man dares not stir trouble—who doesn't know how to provoke others?
"Dai Mubai, you're courting death!"
Dai Weisi was so enraged that he could no longer control the leakage of his soul power aura.
Originally, he had planned that after ascending the throne, he would merely place Dai Mubai under house arrest to earn himself a good reputation.
But this useless trash not only dared to call him by name, but he even flirted with his future sister-in-law. In Dai Weisi's heart, Dai Mubai had already been sentenced to death.
'When I turn twenty-five and become Crown Prince, the first thing I'll do is kill you to vent my hatred,' Dai Weisi thought coldly.
'Pah! This lecher—just as expected, a dog will never stop eating shit! He even dares to flirt with me?'
Zhu Zhuyun's cheeks flushed red as she clenched her teeth and shot Qi Tian a fierce glare.
However, remembering what her sister had said a few days earlier, she did not say anything. Moreover, she knew very well that she could not defeat him right now.
She quietly stood to the side, waiting for the brothers' soul duel to begin.
As Dai Weisi's soul power aura spilled outward, Qi Tian also sensed his current soul power level—it seemed Dai Weisi had just broken through to Rank 42.
He was several years older than Zhu Zhuyun, yet his soul power was only one rank higher than hers.
This indicated that his talent was nothing special, so Qi Tian did not place him in his eyes at all.
"Dai Weisi, this is Zhuqing's and my home. You came early in the morning to disturb our cultivation—you're the one being presumptuous!"
He was not lying. Although Qi Tian was lustful by nature, he was extremely serious about cultivation and highly disciplined.
Soul power, physical strength, and spiritual power increased little by little. That sense of steady gain was something he found utterly addictive.
Dai Weisi snorted coldly and did not bother arguing with Dai Mubai. Between the two of them, strength was the only true measure.
"Dai Mubai, all you're good at is running your mouth. I'd like to see what kind of progress a Playboy like you has made over these years!"
As he spoke, Dai Weisi activated his martial soul possession.
His body suddenly grew taller, his hair intermingling with large patches of gray-white tiger fur, and his muscles swelled by an entire tier.
Watching Dai Weisi after his martial soul possession, Qi Tian subtly refined the details of his own disguise.
"I haven't made much progress—but dealing with you will be effortless!" Qi Tian said.
Seeing the three soul rings Qi Tian had manifested through his disguise, Dai Weisi gradually calmed down. A mere Soul Elder was not worth his anger.
However, recalling that Zhu Zhuyun had once been defeated by Dai Mubai, Dai Weisi did not dare to let his guard down.
