"The human heart is unpredictable, the same in any world."

Li Changqing sighed.

Even Li Changqing didn’t expect that the seemingly warm-hearted Old Huang, who had been relying on Su Zheng and helping him all along, would eventually run away with Su Zheng’s four hundred thousand.

The unpredictability of life, isn’t it!

And judging by Su Xianci’s demeanor, it’s evident he’s struggling to adapt to life on Earth, finding it extremely difficult to learn.

Or perhaps Su Xianci simply doesn’t have the patience for it.

Li Changqing, seeing that it was about time, wrote a letter and sent it to the Su family.

He explained that Su Zheng and Su Xianci were both in his hands.

If they wanted them back, someone from the Su family should come to the Eastern Wilderness to negotiate.

This was Li Changqing’s first attempt at such a kidnapper’s tactic, but with these two cards in hand, wouldn’t it be a waste not to trade them for something?

If the Su family really came to redeem them, Li Changqing wouldn’t mind returning Su Zheng to them.

As far as Li Changqing was concerned, Su Zheng was no longer a threat.

As for the life on Earth he saw in the Great Dream Soul Stone, Li Changqing didn’t mind, because neither Su Zheng nor Su Xianci would believe Earth truly existed; they’d simply think it was a dream fabricated by Li Changqing.

Even if they believed Earth existed, what of it?

He finished writing the letter and had Zhang Fuguang send it out.

Signed, Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable.

Sending a letter from the Eastern Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness would take some time, and in the following few days, Mu Qingge did not emerge from her room, clearly still in contemplation.

Li Changqing went to Qing Mansion for lessons.

He noticeably realized that recently, Yin Zixuan was subtly trying to get close to him and win his favor.

Li Changqing saw through it but chose not to expose it.

On the third day, Yan Botao sent people to deliver two Spirit Beasts he had bought to Li Changqing.

The two Spirit Beasts were entirely purple, with sleek feathers, resembling pigeons in appearance, but very fast, named Lightning Sparrows.

Their flying speed was incredibly fast, and they were not weak, possessing the strength of the Postnatal Perfection tier.

Though small in size, they could spit lightning, and their agility made them hard to catch even for the average Innate Martial Artist.

The Evergreen Commerce Association had spent a great deal of money to buy these for Li Changqing.

For Li Changqing, these creatures were incredibly suitable for intelligence gathering.

"Lightning Sparrow!" Zhen Wanshou exclaimed in delight upon seeing the two Lightning Sparrows in the specially made cage.

The two Lightning Sparrows struggled desperately to escape, but the special cage prevented them from breaking free.

The cage even suppressed their powers, preventing them from spitting out lightning.

He handed the two Lightning Sparrows to Zhen Wanshou, to bond with them.

Zhen Wanshou was evidently very excited.

He had long wished to interact more with Spirit Beasts but lacked the strength.

As Li Changqing left the courtyard where Zhen Wanshou lived, Mu Qingge emerged from seclusion.

"You’re out."

Li Changqing looked at Mu Qingge, but after observing her, he was curious why her strength hadn’t seemed to improve.

Typically, even learning a new cultivation technique should bring some change.

But from Mu Qingge, he saw nothing.

"Failed?" Li Changqing could only think Mu Qingge had failed.

Yet this was the first time someone had failed when comprehending from one of his wood carvings.

"It doesn’t matter, take your time," Li Changqing consoled.

"Succeeded."

Mu Qingge looked at Li Changqing with a peculiar expression, "But the cultivation technique I comprehended is very strange and seemingly useless. Where did you come across such bizarre techniques? I’ve never heard of anyone else knowing them."

"Who did you comprehend?" Li Changqing was stunned.

Previously, he had only carved the familiar figures from his past life all over again and placed them there.

Who did Mu Qingge choose?

"Lady Niu." Mu Qingge said somewhat gloomily.

She indeed comprehended a cultivation technique from Lady Niu’s wood carving, but unfortunately, it was of no use to enhancing her strength.

"Lady Niu..."

Li Changqing was dumbfounded.

There didn’t seem to be any powerful cultivation technique associated with this character, right?

Moreover, the carving he made was from the movie version of Lady Niu in "A Chinese Odyssey."

Li Changqing didn’t even remember what skills Sweet possessed in that film.

"So, what did you learn?" Li Changqing asked after a long silence.

Mu Qingge lowered her head and then said something that made Li Changqing feel like his whole body was exploding!

"Soul Transfer Skill."

Those four words left Li Changqing utterly stunned!

Soul Transfer Skill?

Only then did Li Changqing remember that in "A Chinese Odyssey," Qingxia and Zhu Bajie were affected by the Soul Transfer Skill, swapping souls, causing everyone to become someone else, unable to distinguish who was who.

It was particularly eerie.

Li Changqing never expected Mu Qingge to actually cultivate the Soul Transfer Skill!

"Does this Soul Transfer Skill have any limitations?" Li Changqing was immediately intrigued.

"Against someone stronger than me, the Soul Transfer Skill is useless, but it works on those with strength equivalent to mine. It can swap the souls of two people, but they can’t inherit each other’s memories."

Mu Qingge explained everything she knew about the Soul Transfer Skill.
