Chapter Sixty-Seven: Making a Wish Once More-After Swapping Bodies with the Obsessed Grandmaster, My Inner Thoughts Were Overheard!(Sea Salt Boba Tea)

Ning Xianyu was still in a daze. She calculated the time and asked in surprise, "I've been unconscious for half a month?"

Just from drinking a little alcohol, she had been unconscious for half a month.

Was that really wine? It was more like a potion to steal one's soul.

The system was equally shocked: "Xuan Yuan Tunhan is terrifying. The wine he gave you must have affected me too—it managed to crash me for half a month."

Heavens, who exactly is this demon lord, to possess such power?

The system began to speculate, was it possible the demon lord did this on purpose?

Xuan Yuan Tunhan looked at her with disdain. "Such poor tolerance. One tiny sip, and you were out for half a month."

Ning Xianyu felt aggrieved, lowering her head as she murmured,

"You made me drink it. It's not like I wanted to."

"What did you say?"

No sooner had she finished whispering than a slap landed on her head, frightening her into silence.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan continued to urge her, "Time's up. Hurry up and return our bodies. Yours is so weak—it's uncomfortable for me to use."

The system egged her on: "Host, host, you don't have to switch back. You can wish for the demon lord's soul to be banished to the ends of the earth, and then both bodies will be yours. Switch back next month."

That way, her life would be safe.

Ning Xianyu kept silent, head lowered, deep in thought.

In Xuan Yuan Tunhan’s eyes, a murderous glint flashed as his hand moved to his storage pouch.

This woman...

"So, you've gotten used to my body and don't want to switch back?" His words dripped with sarcasm.

This woman was overestimating herself, thinking his status and body were so easy to use?

Ning Xianyu shook her head. "No, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Just as Xuan Yuan Tunhan assumed she was greedy beyond measure, Ning Xianyu suddenly lunged at him, hugging his thigh like a husky.

"Ancestor, I really didn't mean to take your body. After we switch back, could you please not kill me?"

"Rest assured, I know you dislike me. Once we're back to normal, I'll stay far away and never bother you again."

"Damn system, you're too much. I can't do something so heartless. If I can survive, that's good enough."

The truth was, she really had taken his body and caused Xuan Yuan Tunhan a lot of trouble.

Although she had no intention to make amends, she couldn’t keep making mistakes and ruin him entirely.

As a young person with some principles, she had no grand ambitions, but at least a little conscience and bottom line.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan’s leg was hugged, a fluffy head pressed against his chest, someone rubbing against him incessantly.

This woman actually knew what conscience was.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan pushed her away, strangely noticing how fluffy his own hair was.

He rubbed his hand on his clothes in disgust.

Ning Xianyu, undeterred even after being pushed away, tried to come back, but he restrained her with spiritual power so she couldn’t move.

"Ancestor, I beg you."

Her eyes brimmed with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan recoiled in disgust. "Don't use my face to make such disgraceful expressions. Take those tears back."

Ning Xianyu withdrew her tears, but still wanted to cry.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan only felt a headache. "Since you seem loyal enough, I won’t kill you for now."

This woman was a fool. He had just refined her body to a supreme celestial root, defied the heavens to forcibly elevate her cultivation.

To kill her now would be a waste.

Ning Xianyu was overjoyed. "You... really won’t kill me?"

Xuan Yuan Tunhan glared at her. "Would you rather I did?"

"No, no, no!"

To Ning Xianyu, this counted as a promise.

She grinned, telling Xuan Yuan Tunhan to wait a moment, and soon their bodies would be switched back.

In her mind, she made a wish to the system: "System, I’ve decided. I want to make a wish."

The system immediately adopted a serious tone. "Host, please make your wish."

Ning Xianyu thought carefully, deciding to be precise so the system wouldn’t trick her.

"I wish: Xuan Yuan Tunhan and I return to our own bodies, both healthy and well."

The system confirmed seriously: "Host wishes for you and Xuan Yuan Tunhan to return to your own bodies, healthy and well. Please confirm your wish."

"Yes, yes. I was going to wish for the demon lord to turn into a cat, but maybe next time. Okay, confirmed."

Ning Xianyu mused that next time, she'd wish for the demon lord to turn into a cat—it would surely be amusing.

Or perhaps a nine-tailed fox.

The system replied, "Wish received. Working earnestly to fulfill it. Please wait ten hours. In ten hours, your wish will be granted."

With a chime, the wish was complete.

Ning Xianyu opened her eyes, awkwardly informing Xuan Yuan Tunhan, "Ancestor, in five hours we’ll switch back. Don’t worry, it’ll definitely happen."

Xuan Yuan Tunhan nodded simply to show he understood.

But he thought, the system said ten hours, this woman said five hours—so for them, one hour equaled two hours.

This woman and her system must come from a peculiar place.

With the wish granted, Ning Xianyu decided to sleep. After a nap, her wish would come true tomorrow.

Xuan Yuan Tunhan actually wanted to sleep as well. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

He seemed exhausted, his brows furrowed.

Ning Xianyu lay there, unable to fall asleep for a long while. She pondered, then began to examine her body.

Having not used it for a month, she feared she’d be unaccustomed when the time came.

Upon inspection, she discovered her body had become a supreme celestial root, her spiritual veins greatly widened—she was now a true cultivation prodigy.

She had been preoccupied earlier and hadn’t noticed.

Double-checking, she confirmed she wasn’t mistaken, and excitedly shook Xuan Yuan Tunhan awake. "Ancestor, Ancestor, why has my constitution changed? Is this still my body?"

Xuan Yuan Tunhan lazily glanced at her. "What do you think?"

Ning Xianyu confirmed it was her own body and quickly asked, "How did you change my constitution?"

Xuan Yuan Tunhan replied impatiently, "Extremely cold spring water."

The system suddenly recalled, "I remember now—extremely cold spring water can refine one’s constitution. Mixed spiritual roots can become supreme celestial roots."

"But the refining process is agonizing, worse than death. It’s like being sliced open again and again, your bones and flesh reorganized, and then sliced open once more, over and over."

She suddenly remembered that vat of filthy water. "That dirty water must be the impurities extracted from your body. Such thorough refinement must have taken a long time."

Ning Xianyu was stunned.

So, the demon lord had spent half a month refining her body, suffering while she slept?

He had purified her body so completely, forcibly elevated her cultivation, so of course he wouldn’t kill her easily—otherwise all his effort would be wasted.

But, why would he do all this?
