Later, through a fortunate twist of fate, he obtained a means to strip others of their providence. When his acquired providence reached a certain level, he could then utilize the natural spiritual energy to reconstruct his physical form.
However, as a mere remnant soul, obtaining another person’s providence was impossible. Nearly everyone in the Hidden World was a cultivator, highly vigilant and skeptical of others. Consequently, he left the Hidden World and ventured into the mortal world. He chose Ye Xiyuan as his host, harnessing her to acquire providence from others.
Fearing Ye Xiyuan’s suspicion, he disguised himself as a system, convincing her that he could help her become a paragon of the heavens. This earned Ye Xiyuan’s trust, enabling him to manipulate her for his ends. Periodically, he would offer Ye Xiyuan small rewards to allay her suspicions. The talk of points and such was mere deception, designed to create the illusion that he was a genuine system.
“Didn’t expect you to be so up-to-date!” Ye Lengan sneered and remarked, “You even know about systems.”
“l only learned about it after coming to the mortal world,” Zhongyu Zhenhua quickly replied. “l dare not let Ye Xiyuan know I’m just a remnant soul, fearing she may harbor malicious intent.”
Having lived for hundreds of years, he was cautious in all his endeavors.
“Why did you choose Ye Xiyuan?” Ye Lengan inquired. “Don’t attempt to conceal anything from me, or I will ensure your death is excruciating.”
During her query, Ye Lengan raised her hand, causing a tiny flame to flicker on her fingertip. The flame might have been small, but it seemed to possess boundless power, capable of incinerating everything in its path.
Zhongyu Zhenhua’s soul quivered the moment the flame materialized. With just a remnant soul remaining, he acutely felt the menace the flame posed. He was now engulfed in a murderous aura, and the threat of the flame loomed not far away. Either of these threats could easily disperse him into oblivion, and the fact that they converged now made him feel extremely unfortunate. Despite maintaining his concealment for so long, he was apprehended when he finally attempted to assault Ye Lengan.
“Speak!” Ye Lengan demanded coldly.
Zhongyu Zhenhua hastily replied, “Ye Xiyuan is unique; she isn’t an ordinary person. Her soul possesses an anomaly, and that’s why I selected her. Later, I discovered she had been reborn.’
“Reborn?” Ye Lengan couldn’t help but exclaim. This was an unexpected revelation. In her first life, Ye Xiyuan must have been reborn. Assisted by this remnant soul, she persistently targeted her. At that time, she was entirely defenseless, which explained her tragic fate.
However, Ye Lengan was left wondering what Ye Xiyuan had experienced before her rebirth and why she had subjected her to such torment afterward.
Huangfu Ruiling, wearing an enigmatic expression, couldn’t help but cast a brief glance at Ye Lengan, refraining from voicing his thoughts.
“Yes, indeed,” Zhongyu Zhenhua continued, “Before her rebirth, her life was said to have been miserable due to you. That’s why she has persistently targeted you.”
“Reborn? That aside, there must be another reason,” Ye Lengan replied with a sardonic curve to her lips. “Don’t tell me you weren’t fanning the flames. You’d hardly believe it yourself! ”
Silence hung in the air once more. After a considerable pause, Zhongyu Zhenhua spoke again, “It’s because your providence is incredibly potent. If I could obtain your luck, I could reconstruct my body faster.”
He couldn’t quite fathom it, but Ye Lengan possessed remarkably potent providence. Each time he glimpsed her providence, he couldn’t resist his covetous desires. This led him to subtly guide Ye Xiyuan to confront Ye
Lengan..
