144: You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit?

Facing Ancestor Chu Yaohua's righteous words, Chu Qianqian sat on the edge of the bed, her stunningly beautiful face turning shades of green and white.

The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, as if she had suffered a stroke.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shame and anger that was about to explode within her, and spat out the words through gritted teeth: "Heh... then I really must... thank you!"

If Ancestor Chu Yaohua were standing in front of her right now, Chu Qianqian swore she would rush up regardless of the consequences.

Even if she had to bite, she would tear a piece of flesh off this shameless creature!

However, facing this obviously sarcastic expression of gratitude, Ancestor Chu Yaohua seemed to possess a built-in "sarcasm shield" function.

Her lazy, magnetic voice echoed in her mind again, even carrying a hint of indifferent amusement: "Why so polite? We are one now; if I prosper, you prosper, and if I suffer, you suffer. Besides..."

Ancestor Chu Yaohua's voice paused, her tone becoming somewhat playful: "Don't feel aggrieved. I saw that you were... quite enthusiastic at the time. In the end, you were the one who enjoyed it. There's no need to say thanks; I am unworthy of such gratitude!"

"You—!!" Chu Qianqian was so choked by these shameless, Soul-piercing remarks that she almost fainted on the spot.

She opened her mouth, wanting to retort loudly, wanting to denounce the other party for spouting nonsense.

However, certain images that flashed through her mind instantly... were like heavy hammers, striking hard at her sense of shame, leaving her instantly speechless.

She could only blush, her chest heaving violently, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Chu Qianqian took two deep breaths, forcing her overloaded brain to calm down.

She knew that when it came to having a thick skin compared to this old monster who had lived for who knows how many years, she would definitely lose.

The most urgent task was to figure out the truth of the matter.

"Then tell me." Chu Qianqian bit her lip and asked in a hoarse voice: "What exactly happened in the Secret Realm? Why did I have a period of time where I... completely blacked out? Since you are inside my body, you should know best."

Mentioning business, Ancestor Chu Yaohua's tone became slightly more serious, and she summarized the danger at the time in extremely concise language.

Chu Qianqian listened, stunned.

However... when she heard the part about "urgently needing intercourse to detoxify," Chu Qianqian finally couldn't take it anymore.

She abruptly interrupted Ancestor Chu Yaohua, grinding her teeth, and asked with a hint of grief and indignation:

"Even if the situation was critical... wasn't there any other way?! Who are you? You are a powerful expert from the Upper Realm! Your methods reach the heavens, and you are well-informed! Can you not even detoxify this mere Gu poison from the Lower Realm? Did you really have to use... use that method?! "

In her view, with Ancestor Chu Yaohua's abilities as someone from the Upper Realm, casting some immortal technique to suppress it shouldn't have been a problem.

Why choose this most unacceptable "treatment plan"?

"A way? Naturally, there were ways." Ancestor Chu Yaohua's tone remained indifferent, as if discussing what to have for dinner:

"If it were my prime, it certainly wouldn't have been anything, but don't forget, at that time I was just a remnant Soul that had just awakened and was extremely weak."

"Moreover, I had to divert most of my mental focus to suppress your accursed Soul rejection."

"Other detoxification methods either required months of slow recuperation, or needed extremely rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, or... would leave permanent damage to your Meridians, cutting off your path to immortality."

Ancestor Chu Yaohua was as rational as a machine without any emotions, and began to analyze the pros and cons for Chu Qianqian:

"In an emergency, one must act accordingly. And in that environment at the time, that kid named Lu Yi possessed a rare Pure Yang Physique, with Qi and blood like a Dragon. This was the optimal solution at the time."

Speaking of this, Ancestor Chu Yaohua asked a rhetorical question: "If it were you, in that situation, would you choose to hold onto that so-called chastity and die, or choose to survive?"

"I..." Chu Qianqian was speechless. Although logically she knew Ancestor Chu Yaohua was right, emotionally... this was truly too hard to accept!

"But..." Before Chu Qianqian could think of a retort, Ancestor Chu Yaohua suddenly changed the subject, delivering the most fatal blow of the night:

"Besides, don't push all the responsibility onto me. Because my Soul Power was insufficient, I had already returned control of the body to you for the latter half."

Ancestor Chu Yaohua's voice carried a hint of mockery: "At that time, I think you were enjoying it, right? I didn't see you resisting, and in fact... you were calling out even louder than I was."

"Boom—!!" This sentence was like a nuclear bomb detonating directly in Chu Qianqian's mind. Her psychological defenses collapsed instantly!

"Shut up!! Shut up! Shut up! I'm not listening!!" Chu Qianqian was blushing furiously, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or just smash her head against the wall.

She covered her hot, burning face, unable to say another word of rebuttal. Because... it was the truth.

Seeing the little girl crouching on the ground, holding her head, looking like she was about to shut herself off from the world, Ancestor Chu Yaohua seemed to feel that she had bullied her a bit too much.

She changed her tone, carrying a hint of carefree disdain: "Alright, alright, what's the big deal? Crying like that, what does it look like."

"You are a cultivator, you should follow your heart and pursue the Dao. Chastity is not something you can eat, nor can it help you block Lightning Tribulation."

"Anyway, it's already done, can you turn back time?"

Then, Ancestor Chu Yaohua said something shocking, throwing out a suggestion that stunned Chu Qianqian:

"If you feel like you lost out, feel like you were taken advantage of by that kid, and can't get over it, then work hard to Cultivate for me! When your strength surpasses that kid, beat him down."

"At worst, just capture him later and take him as your boy toy, let him serve you every day, won't that work? When that time comes, you can torment him however you want. In the Upper Realm, this is a common occurrence."

"Pah, pah, pah!!" Chu Qianqian spat three times, suddenly raising her head, looking at her with an expression like she was looking at a madwoman:

"Who would want to take that bastard as a boy toy! You... you are simply unreasonable!"

Although she cursed fiercely, in that instant, a corresponding image inexplicably appeared in Chu Qianqian's mind...

"Ah! What am I thinking!!" Chu Qianqian felt like she was really going crazy, and hurriedly threw this terrible thought away.

"Pathetic." Sensing Chu Qianqian's little thoughts, Ancestor Chu Yaohua snorted in frustration, her voice filled with undisguised disdain:

"Speaking of which, your Jade Pool is practically picked up from a trash heap! Practicing this kind of thing, how can you ever achieve anything great?"

"I..." Chu Qianqian just wanted to argue that this was the supreme secret scripture of the Jade Pool. Before she could finish.

"Hum—!" A massive, vast, and incredibly profound stream of information instantly flooded into Chu Qianqian's Sea of Consciousness!

It was a supreme Cultivation Technique radiating ancient golden light, where every single word seemed to contain the profound truths of the Dao!

It was countless times more profound than the Cultivation Technique Chu Qianqian had been practicing before!

Ancestor Chu Yaohua's domineering, confident voice echoed in her mind:

"Stop practicing that crappy Cultivation Technique, it has side effects, not to mention it's inefficient. From today on, practice this."

"I will personally groom you, and let you know what true Cultivation is!"
