Chapter 901: Chapter 88 Puppet Azhen Chapter 901: Chapter 88 Puppet Azhen Artifact Spirit, when did you arrive?

Seeing a trace of Spiritual Essence within the puppet, Yan Yu’s first reaction was that Chen Lingyun was playing a trick, setting up some sort of ghost to scare me!

But after thinking about it, the puppet isn’t just any common object, it’s a Magic Treasure that I’ve properly refined and cultivated. How could it be penetrated by a Yin Ghost?

This is clearly the Artifact Spirit!

As everyone knows, some Magic Treasures develop their own consciousness, much like how some animals and plants can turn into monsters. The exact mechanism isn’t clear, but it’s generally believed to be a low-probability event triggered by the Treasure’s owner continuously nurturing it with their True Yuan, which brings about a “Charming” phenomenon.

In that case, doesn’t that make it like my daughter?

Yan Yu’s consciousness slowly approached it, and soon he was met with an emotion of joy and excitement from across.

No mistake about it. This closeness to my Divine Sense, it must be the Artifact Spirit of Puppet Azhen.

“Call me Daddy,” Yan Yu transmitted his voice.

“Husband!” came the reply from across.

Yan Yu: ……

“You’re mistaken.” He patiently transmitted his voice, “You were brought into existence by my continuous nourishment with my True Yuan. Strictly speaking, you’re my offspring. We don’t have a marital relationship.”

“Naughty husband!” The voice called out again.

Yan Yu: …………

Damn it, why does this tone and accent sound so familiar?

As the Artifact Spirit’s Spiritual Wisdom isn’t very strong yet and seeing that Yan Yu had not sent a transmission for a while, it affectionately nudged closer to him, enveloping his split Divine Sense.

Close! Close!

Yan Yu didn’t want to get ‘close’ with it, so he sent a thought through:
Raise your hand.

And sure enough, Puppet Azhen lifted its right hand, just like how Yan Yu imagined it, in both scale and angle.

Lift your leg.

Puppet Azhen lifted its left leg, then put it back down.

Alright, control is without any issue.

Even though there’s an Artifact Spirit within the puppet body, it’s like you just moved into a place and found out a person has been living there beforehand… but she is completely obedient to you, doesn’t make trouble, so it’s not really different from what I had originally expected.

Just that this Artifact Spirit is too clingy, so it has to be properly trained!

Thinking of “rubbing together” with his Divine Sense, Yan Yu could only temporarily shield that part of his Divine Sense and returned his attention to his own body.

“Looks like it’s a success,” Mei Yingxue nodded, noticing the puppet had begun to move on its own.

“Indeed,” Yan Yu responded.

Although there was a slight mishap, it wasn’t really a bad outcome.

After parting ways with Mei Yingxue, Yan Yu returned to his room and immediately received a message from Zhao Yuanzhen:
“I’m back!”

“Where the hell did you die off to?” Yan Yu immediately messaged back angrily, “Hurry up and roll back here!”

“Hmph, I’m in a good mood, so I won’t argue with you,” replied Zhao Yuanzhen, “I’ll be there soon!”

Ten minutes later, she kicked open the door to Yan Yu’s room, holding the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, and shouted:
“Naughty man! Check this out!”

Yan Yu immediately leapt up with his Sword Control Technique: Good grief, dare to plot the murder of your own husband!

“Hey, wait, I didn’t mean…” Before Zhao Yuanzhen could finish speaking, Yan Yu knocked down the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer with the Sword Control Technique, then sealed her Dantian’s True Yuan with Runescript, throwing her forcefully onto the bed.

“Looking for a beating!”

Yan Yu pinned her down by the neck with one hand so she couldn’t move her arms, then began to spank her plump behind fiercely.

“Ow!” Zhao Yuanzhen instantly cursed out loud, “Naughty man, you dare to…”

“Hit me!”

“I won’t forgive you!”

“You’re done for!”

“I’ll remember this!”

“I will… Ah! Return it a hundredfold, ow!”

She cursed intermittently for a while, noticing that the louder she scolded, the harder Yan Yu’s punches were, so she quickly shut up.

Heh, now that I’m not saying anything, you have no reason to hit me, right?

Then she took another hit.

“Whether I curse or not, I still get hit?!” Zhao Yuanzhen couldn’t take it anymore and screamed.

“Because you’re asking for it!” Yan Yu said furiously, “Marching in with a Magic Treasure and kicking my door down, any other Cultivator would have killed you by now! Can’t you think before you act?”

Zhao Yuanzhen thought carefully and realized that the problem did lie with her. If the roles were reversed and Yan Yu kicked the door in wielding a three-foot sword, her first response would surely be “This naughty man wants to kill me.”

Not killing me? Then why did you brandish a weapon?

“I was wrong!” She gritted her teeth and shouted, “I’ve admitted my mistake, you can’t bully or humiliate me anymore!”

“Learn your lesson!” Yan Yu then released her, annoyed, and said, “So, what did you want to show me?”

Zhao Yuanzhen lifted the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer and smiled:
“Look!”

The sight revealed all four hairpins fully inserted, with all four skulls on the hammer emitting dark flames, surrounded by demonic mist and ghostly aura, clearly appearing as a very fierce Demon Path Magic Treasure.

“You found the last White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin?” Yan Yu was immediately surprised, “Where did you get it? Oh, so you went out on a private venture because you were tipped off about this White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin, aiming to plunder this treasure from a Mysterious Realm!”

“Wrong, completely wrong!” laughed Zhao Yuanzhen, “This White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin, it wasn’t obtained from any Mysterious Realm.”

“Did you just find it by the roadside then?” asked Yan Yu.

“How could that be!” Zhao Yuanzhen glared, “I got it from a temporary teammate while exploring the Mysterious Realm!”

Yan Yu: ……

“I originally went looking for materials to craft puppets,” Zhao Yuanzhen explained, “but then I saw that guy throw out a flash of white light. Wasn’t it precisely the White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin I was searching for?”

“And then you killed him for the treasure,” said Yan Yu.

“Bullshit, was he worthy?” Zhao Yuanzhen said disdainfully, “I’m a top-level Cultivator now, how could I stoop to bullying an amateur practitioner like him? I simply revealed my identity and suggested a trade for the item!”
