In the memories of the immortal emperor, there was a mystical art that could erase a person's memories and leave the body with it´s spirit and wisdom, making them into one's puppet. This mystical art was called spiritual puppet art.

Ning Fan slowly walked closer to Si Wuxie, preparing to use the spiritual puppet art against Si Wuxie.

But the closer he got, the more uneasy he felt. He kept feeling that there was something amiss.

The uneasiness continued...Ning Fan quietly summoned Separation Slayer and hid it in his sleeves. Only with that did the uneasiness lessen a little.

Ning Fan stopped three feet away from Si Wuxie. At this distance he could feel a great pressure given off by him. Almost without hesitation, he quickly retreated.

Si Wuxie let out a light expression of surprise as he didn't expect Ning Fan to be that cautious. He suddenly raised his head and revealed a pure and saintly face of a beautiful woman, rouge lips and features like a painting, like a young lotus blooming, the face was dignified and not to be messed around with. Only, those soft and beautiful eyes carried a fierce murderous intention from within.

A momentum comparable to a late stage Gold Core dispersed from Si Wuxie’s body, and although Si Wuxie’s body was locked due to his crippled cultivation, his divine sense transformed into a formless flying sword and attacked Ning Fan with a flurry of innumerable stabs.

Ning Fan´s expression changed slightly, if he got stabbed by the flying sword made from divine sense, it would destroy all of his knowledge and memories, making him become an idiot in the blink of an eye. This Si Wuxie, with such deep schemes and ruthless methods, he actually still had this trick hidden.

Ning Fan had clearly destroyed his Gold Core and crippled his cultivation, but who would have guessed that he had left a bit of his cultivation hidden from him and even appeared as a woman. What was going on...

A woman´s face, breath and body were not things that could be faked.

Ning Fan´s thoughts were spinning, but in a moment he figured out the crucial point. He seemed to have come to realize something, and with a cold expression, as well as Separation Slayer in his hands, the starlight sword shadow danced in an attempt to destroy the divine sense flying sword.

This move only made Si Wuxie mock gently, “An immemorial divine weapon, unfortunately it's only a low inferior rank. Just an inferior rank divine weapon cannot possibly cut my divine sense- Ah! No, impossible...”

Editor Note: Since Si Wuxie now appears to be acknowledged as a woman, we will now refer to the character as such.

She didn't finish her speech and suddenly screamed, as the power of her divine sense was caught off guard and cut by Separation Slayer and was burned cleanly from its Soul Burning power.

Her gentle and beautiful expression suddenly turned pale, breathless and shocked. Her expression burned with a desire to die as she glared at Ning Fan.

“‘Soul Burning’ divine power, a ‘void’ rank divine power, no way, with just your Harmonious Spirit status, how could you get this kind of divine material!”

She clenched her teeth and tried to use another power against Ning Fan, But it was too late… Ning Fan wouldn't give her another chance to launch a sneak attack at him, he absolutely wouldn't!

Ning Fan stepped into an icy rainbow and flew forward. He pointed at Si Wuxie several times utilizing his Yin Plucking Finger, letting a trace of yin power enter her body which made Si Wuxie’s breath chaotic and unable to use even a trace of her power, not to mention even trying to secretly attack Ning Fan!

“Who would have thought that the dignified sect master Wuxie, Si Wuxie, was actually a woman...disguised as a man with the ancient magic, and almost deceived me...The Opposite Yang Art can created a fake Gold Core inside the body, transforming the wielder into a man and confused me. No wonder you still have power left even after I destroyed your Gold Core...Si Wuxie, I really underestimated you... ”

With a ‘hiss’, Ning Fan tore off Si Wuxie’s sleeve and revealed a beautiful lotus like arm of a girl, which partly looked like it belonged to a man, as if she were some kind of transvestite.

Si Wuxie was deathly ashamed and her face was like that of a peach dripping blood. Kneeling on the ground, a trace of murderous intent coldly swept across her beautiful eyes, “You dared to disgrace me, do you know the origin of my true self in the Four Heavens...ah...en...this...what is the power of that finger...”

She didn't even finish her fierce words, the effect of the Yin Plucking Finger´s power became more and more present. Her whole body was numb and soft, and she was gradually losing her mind...

“I am...the Jade Lake Saint...if you hurt me...I´ll dispatch...a hundred thousand celestial soldiers...and exterminate your whole clan...”

The regal Si Wuxie, at this moment did not show even the slightest arrogance. Under the power of the Yin Plucking Finger, all her murderous intention had turned into fear towards Ning Fan, and there was only dread left in her heart.

“What do you...want to do to me...what is...this enchantment art...I am the dignified Jade Lake Saint...”

“And what if you are the Jade Lake Saint...since we bear mutual hatred, we are enemies. This has nothing to do with you being a man or a woman, nor with your identity!” Ning Fan grasped Si Wuxie’s chin. The corners of his mouth were cold, but a trace of sorrow flashed through his heart.

The Jade Lake Saint...perhaps in the Four Heavens she was a woman respected by tens of thousands of people, but this body double in the lower realms was actually a devil that harmed him and even harmed his little brother Ning Gu. How many people did she deceive with that innocent face, making them think that she was a good girl...but her heart was actually like a snake’s...

The Four Heaven's immortal worlds were not originally pure lands...perhaps, in the whole universe, there are no pure lands.

“Even if you are the Jade Lake Saint, I, Mr Ning, must take my revenge...”

Si Wuxie was frightened. She realized the man in front of her was extremely daring, and he did not fear the ruthless people of the Four Heavens and dared to bully her.

In her heart, there was resentment as well as fear.

“Let me go...I didn´t harm you...and didn´t harm your little brother...I still have things to do in the lower realms...” Si Wuxie said with a miserable look in her eyes, Ning Fan couldn’t tell how much of it was true and how much was a lie.

“Rest assured, I'm not interested in your body and will never touch you...compared to your body I prefer having one more Gold Core fighting hand...I just want to turn you into a Gold Core spirit puppet!”

One finger pointed at Si Wuxies head, began Soul Scouring and started refining a puppet...

...

Half a day later, Ning Fan let out a breath of turbid qi. The girl that was standing quietly before him had a pair of clear and sincere eyes, but carried the power of a late stage Gold Core cultivator and looked at Ning Fan, confused. Above the space between her eyebrows was an imprinted mark of an apricot flower.

That mark was the mark of the spiritual puppet art.

“Who are you, who am I?” The girl smiled lightly, like a young lotus blossoming and looked at Ning Fan docilely.

“You name is Sisi, starting from today you are the first cauldron of me, Ning Fan.”

“A cauldron, huh...Sisi wants to be your wife...” The eyes of the girl pleaded, she forgot everything but faintly remembered Ning Fan, and she was instinctively depending on Ning Fan, obeying him. That obedience came from the mark on her body.

“No, you erred in the past and can only be a cauldron. Put on your clothes and come out with me. When the day I refine the Cauldron Ring arrives, it will become your new home.”

The dignified Jade Lake Saint´s double in the lower realms actually became the first cauldron that Ning Fan subdued?

Jade Lake Saint, Si Wuxie, Sisi, how will her destiny fare?
