The princess sat on the boat deck, unafraid.
She looked at Alex and said, “So what if I did? I can tell you the truth, I’ve completely taken over this woman and destroyed her original soul. She’ll never ever be your wife again!”
“If you kill me, you’ll be killing your wife.”
“What’s your decision? How about you just think of me as your wife? The princess doesn’t have limits to her number of partners, so I don’t mind taking you as another concubine.”
Alex’s face darkened, his eyes almost sparking lightning.
Pigsy said, “Alex, this woman has changed completely. Since she’s not your wife, just kill her now. It’ll save you the trouble.”
Xerxes nodded in agreement. “The Corpse King’s daughter was originally immortal, and was able to live with the powers of this place. But now that she’s taken over someone, it’ll become a restriction for her instead. If you try now, you’d have a high chance of killing her.”
Despite this, Alex was unwilling to do so.
“I have to see for myself!”
Alex separated his soul from his body and went into Dorothy’s consciousness. He wanted to make sure for himself that her original soul was actually gone.
The process was risky and difficult, but his abilities had improved a lot. The three thousand golden cores were fulfilled, and his acupoints were all opened.
Besides being strengthened by Ymir‘s Divine Bone, his body and soul had now been cleansed by Yin-Yang Chi and Yellow Obsidian Chi, making his soul far stronger than everyone.
“Arghh!” The Corpse Princess shouted out in pain. Back when he was possessed by the Bodhi statue, Alex took the chance to seal her powers. She was now a helpless weakling. It was easy for Alex to control her now.
A forced entry into someone’s consciousness felt far worse than being raped.
“No!” Alex screamed. This wasn’t the ending he wanted.
He had tried to help Dorothy recover and escape Xienna’s control. He wanted her to be the original Dorothy, but now that her soul was completely destroyed, he didn’t know what to do.
Alex screamed and yelled in frustration. After a while, he calmed himself and remembered that there was a spell in the Ultimate Book of Medicine that could recover a broken soul. He wanted to give it a try and see if he could bring her soul back together.
Right then, the princess who was forced to stay in a corner looked at him and smiled coldly.
“It’s no use. I’ve already eaten her soul, so how can you save it?”
“Say, you’re pretty strong. You even practice ancient Buddhism. Why don’t we make a deal? You let me go, and I’ll help you search for the Pool of Afterlife.”
Alex didn’t speak. He just summoned Zharvakko’s formation from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. He then accumulated the remaining floating soul chunks in the consciousness with strong holy powers and talismans.
