--- Chapter 213 ---
Yu Long drifted to the corner of Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension, or so he thought because this storage space is limitless. Thankfully, he owned the Sky Poison Pearl, so everything within it was under his control.
He arrived at the secluded area and saw Xuanyuan Yufeng's body frozen in an ice crystal. She was literally naked, with some cuts and holes due to Pandora overusing her body.
Yu Long thinned the ice and observed her body for research purposes only.
At first, Yu Long didn't find anything special about Xuanyuan Yufeng, but then he realized something. The changes Pandora installed into Xuanyuan Yufeng are to her very genetic codes.
Pandora didn't just change Xuanyuan Yufeng into a hybrid human.
She's changing her into a shapeshifting-type human!
The laziness in Yu Long's eyes is gone. He smirked because Pandora had left him quite a gift.
"Shapeshifting-type Human, in other words, Morphing Awakener."
"Why didn't I think of this before?" Yu Long chuckled wryly. "I was too focused on the cultivation field without even considering awakening superpowers."
"I mean, just imagine cultivators with superpowers? As long as the power and cultivation techniques synergize well, they could exert power beyond their cultivation bases."
"And it wouldn't be a 'small' increase. Awakened Cultivators will become a new era for Primal Chaos."
"Since Pandora succeeds, then I can do it as well." Yu Long looked down on freezing Xuanyuan Yufeng as if she was a priceless treasure. She's still alive, but barely.
"Maybe Pandora knew this already..."
"She left you behind to give me an idea, a key to the higher realm."
He sighed helplessly and commented, "Xuanyuan Yufeng, you're such an unlucky woman for catching Pandora's attention. But don't worry, I won't let you suffer from now on."
"I will help you find your sons. I'm sure they are alive somewhere in the Profound Sky Continent. As for your cowardly excuse of a husband, he probably died due to Dullahan's large-scale attack."
"Your father, on the other hand..." Yu Long felt pity for Xuanyuan Yufeng.
"My condolences. Your father is the elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and he got evaporated by the Star Annihilating Cannon."
"And I'm the one who killed him. I have to admit that."
Silence ensued, and Yu Long could only mock himself for telling a woman in a coma about her father's death. He shook his head bitterly and didn't notice Xuanyuan Yufeng's soul stirred.
... 1st Person Pov's Beginning ---
Xuanyuan Yufeng is never asleep. Even when Pandora took over her body, she was always awake and watched from a third-person perspective of how weak her mistress was before Yu Long.
I felt like like a child who had her worldview shattered.
Then, everything around me was 'abruptly' shut down.
Dread, anxiety, betrayal, horror, sadness, fear, helplessness, and much more.
All kinds of emotions stirred in the vessel that used to be a woman called Xuanyuan Yufeng.
But one emotion stands still.
Confusion.
I was not the Heavenly Sword Villa's Mistress anymore.
Nor was Xuanyuan Yufeng.
I'm just a puppet for her mistress(Pandora) to play, a clay for her to shape and toss aside anytime.
"Why am I still alive?"
"Mistress, mistress, where are you?"
"Why did you leave me alone? Am I no good?"
Question after question, I felt like a vessel with nothing inside.
I started to question myself.
"Who am I?"
"What kind of being am I?"
"Am I a person?"
Then, answers started appearing.
"I want to be a person."
"A better person."
"I want to be free."
"A free person."
"Yes, free..."
I finally found my purpose.
What about the goal?
Before I could think of my goal, I heard a voice.
It was a firm voice filled with wonder. Something that I didn't have.
"I'm sorry." The voice said. "You have to go through all this."
"I can't fix you to normal, but you can at least live freely now."
Free? Fix? I was 'deeply' enamored by the voice.
Does the voice want to grant me freedom?
Can you fix me?
Then, a familiar hum stirred my soul.
The firm voice hummed soothingly and made me feel calm like no other.
All my confusion melted away like cotton candy to a fire, allowing sweetness to fill my empty vessel.
"Let's fix you."
Yes, FIX ME! I shouted with tears.
"I will make you ideal enough to walk on your foot again."
"This is my responsibility."
Thank you. I cried happily.
Thank you, whoever you are.
... 1st Person POV's end ---
Yu Long regenerated Xuanyuan Yufeng's lost body parts with his vitality and patched everything that could get fixed. His wise mind works rapidly, extracting all the defects Pandora's Genetic Sovereign left behind.
Inside the crystal ice, Xuanyuan Yufeng's body was 'quickly' restored as if Yu Long were turning back time, and all the injuries inflicted on her body slowly fell off into energy particles.
Xuanyuan Yufeng was originally a beautiful woman, and now she has become even more than that after getting rid of all the impurities.
Reborn would be a proper word to describe her transformation.
Her green hair fell off like a cascading waterfall.
Her full waist, slender arms, toned legs, and bubbly buttocks recovered beautifully.
Everything that a woman wishes for.
After a few hours, Yu Long sighed and wiped a non-existent sweat on his forehead. He looked down at Xuanyuan Yufeng and nodded because she should be able to walk now.
He didn't realize he made a goddess that could incite envy of mortals.
To Yu Long, Xuanyuan Yufeng's appearance is normal because he is 'quite literally' surrounded by beautiful goddesses or fairies. Yes, his beauty standard is a bit skewed.
Remember, Yu Long is currently thinking like a researcher. His mind is not in the right place to appreciate a woman's beauty.
He has extracted everything he could use from Xuanyuan Yufeng and fixed her enough to live normally. Yup, that's it.
Yu Long patted the ice crystal and said, "Well, let's get you some fresh air."
After that, Yu Long and the ice crystal vanished from the Sky Poison Pearl's Dimension.
...
Outside World.
Yu Long opened his eyes slowly and saw an ice crystal with Xuanyuan Yufeng inside it standing before him.
"What the!" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue were startled.
I mean, who wouldn't? A coffin made of ice crystal instantly appeared from thin air.
They thought it was an enemy attack.
But then, they realized a more threatening fact about it.
There is a woman inside the coffin!
"This woman is..." Cang Yue squinted her eyes.
"Heavenly Sword Villa's Mistress, Xuanyuan Yufeng." Xia Qingyue recognized the green-haired woman right away.
"I believed she got corrupted by one of Yu Long's past Kaiju and turned into a human-kaiju hybrid."
"But why didn't I feel Kaiju's aura from her?"
"She looks like... A Human? Through and through."
"Because I fix her body." Yu Long answered this time. "Pandora installed too many things into her body. She couldn't handle it and nearly exploded from Genetic Manipulation."
"Why is she naked then?" Cang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Yu Long shrugged, "She was wrapped by flame when Pandora possessed her and fought me. I froze her, and she ended up like this."
"How suspicious."
"Okay, stop with that. You know I'm not that kind of man."
"Sure." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue glanced at each other before nodding at his words.
'What's with that reply?' Yu Long's eyelids twitched because they didn't seem to believe him.
He snapped his finger, "Anyway, let's wake her up. I want to learn Xuanyuan Yufeng's side of the story."
The ice crystal cracked because of Yu Long's voice and slowly emanated heat. Warm mist filled the room and made them feel like they were staying in a sauna.
A refreshing scent filled their nostrils.
Slowly but surely, the ice crystal's size reduced.
WOOOOOSH!
It took one minute for the crystal to dissolve completely, and Xuanyuan Yufeng moved like lightning.
She's charging at Yu Long.
'Danger!' Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue wanted to prevent Xuanyuan Yufeng from getting closer.
Weirdly, their bodily movement becomes slower than a snail.
"Superpower, Slowness!" Yu Long exclaimed in surprise.
"You-!"
Xuanyuan Yufeng ignored Yu Long and hugged him to the floor, taking his lips like a hungry cougar.
"Thank you." She desperately said.
"Thank you."
"Thank you!"
"You're my benefactor!"
"Please, let me be your servant. I will do anything!"
'What the fuck??' Yu Long pushed the hungry cougar away. Her slowness superpower can't affect him.
Xuanyuan Yufeng kowtowed and smacked her head against the floor many times, "Please let me be your servant, Master."
"You're my only light in this world!"
"Please..." She cried emotionally.
Yu Long wiped his mouth and frowned, "Why are you doing this?"
Xuanyuan Yufeng looked at him weakly, "I..."
"I don't know."
"I was confused."
"I felt lost, and then I heard your voice."
"You're my guide in the darkness."
"My only companion in loneliness."
"I need you as my goal."
"And what goal is that exactly?" Yu Long's frown deepened.
Xuanyuan Yufeng breathed in and squeezed words from her throat, "To be free."
"You're my freedom!" Her unwavering voice reverberated in the still house.
Yu Long froze on the spot. He stared at Xuanyuan Yufeng in a new light.
He also realized that Xuanyuan Yufeng was awake when he healed her body.
"You also said you want to be responsible for me." Xuanyuan Yufeng teared up.
"I'm not talking about... Aih, whatever." Yu Long laughed bitterly. From the corner of his eyes, he saw his Karma Threads had formed a connection with Xuanyuan Yufeng.
He also takes responsibility for Pandora's actions.
And Xuanyuan Yufeng is Pandora's victim.
"Fine, you're under my care now."
"Does that mean you're going to accept me?" Xuanyuan Yufeng's eyes gleamed.
"Yes."
"Thank you!"
"Another one..." Cang Yue was speechless.
"He's unpredictable." Xia Qingyue added. Yes, she was also speechless.
"I can't see his limit."
