What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

Nie Chu looked at Yue Ziwei in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"Master of the Sect, I followed you for tens of thousands of years and got nothing. But the Grand Elder is different. At least she belongs to me!"

Yue Ziwei gently clasped Zheng Ya’s small hand, his eyes brimming with greed.

The enormous difference in their physiques created an extreme contrast.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was somewhat unexpected, yet also within reason.

Back then, in order to gain his support, Zheng Ya had also used... the ugly scheme.

If she could use it on him, she could naturally use it on others.

That was not surprising.

What was surprising was that she had even taken down Yue Ziwei.

Sure enough, so-called trusted brothers were unbelievably fragile in front of a beautiful woman.

Nie Chu froze in place. Clearly, he had not expected this to be the reason.

Zheng Ya said softly, "Are those people ready?"

"Naturally."

Yue Ziwei clapped his hands lightly.

Two ghostly beings in black robes sped over. In each of their hands were four black chains.

At the end of every chain, a person was bound.

No. To be precise, there were ghosts, demons, and yokai among them.

At a glance, Nie Chu recognized them. These were containers for the three souls and seven spirits accumulated over many years.

He truly could not understand why they were being brought here now.

Zheng Ya greatly enjoyed the astonishment on Nie Chu’s face.

As she slowly stepped forward, she began releasing her aura.

Half-step Immortal Emperor Realm, early Immortal Emperor Realm, mid Immortal Emperor Realm...

Finally, she stopped only upon reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

By then, she had arrived before Nie Chu, looking down at him from above, imposing and overbearing.

Gone was her usual silent and timid appearance.

Zheng Ya spoke softly, "Nie Chu, I know you are very clever. But in this world, there are always people even more clever. Did you really think it was you who saved me back then in the Celestial World?"

"No. In truth, that was a trap I set to lure someone in."

"I just did not expect that the one who took the bait would not be an immortal, but a ghost like you."

Nie Chu asked in a trembling voice, "You... what do you mean by this?"

In her excellent mood, Zheng Ya immediately began recounting the truth of those years.

At that time, she had been at the height of her fame in the Celestial World. Ruthless in her actions, she had offended many.

The real reason she had voluntarily entered the secret realm was, first, to evade pursuit by her enemies, and second, to rebuild her immortal body.

In previous battles, Zheng Ya had suffered severe injuries. Her immortal body had been on the verge of shattering.

Within the secret realm, she had waited for other immortals to descend so she could seize their bodies.

Then she planned to cultivate inside the secret realm until reaching the Immortal Lord Realm before emerging.

Otherwise, she would have been unable to withstand the pursuit of her enemies.

The idea had been good.

But the world never lacked variables.

The one who arrived was not an immortal, but a Ghost Immortal.

Seizing his body would have been meaningless.

After all, a ghost was a soul-form. Using a divine soul to seize another soul-form was not impossible.

But the rejection would be extremely strong. Moreover, at that time, Nie Chu’s strength exceeded Zheng Ya’s by an entire major realm, and her injuries had not yet healed.

Under such conditions, body seizure was utterly unrealistic.

So Zheng Ya could only pretend to be attacked by an immortal beast, giving Nie Chu a chance to play the hero.

Men were all the same.

Ghosts were no different.

Zheng Ya had always been very confident in her appearance.

Sure enough, although Nie Chu had been wary and intended to strike, he still gave her a chance to speak.

And once she could speak, Zheng Ya would not die.

She understood clearly that only by demonstrating her own value could she live well.

However, no matter how carefully she calculated, she had not expected Nie Chu to break open the secret realm so quickly and bring her to the Underworld.

Nor had she anticipated that the passages between the Five Realms would be completely severed.

When she stood in the Underworld and gazed at the sky, Zheng Ya had truly felt despair.

But she quickly composed herself.

Since she had come, she might as well make peace with it.

Moreover, Nie Chu truly wished for her to survive. He had spared no expense, consuming vast resources to preserve her immortal body.

It had to be said, the resources of the Underworld were indeed abundant.

She no longer needed to think about body seizure.

However, although her injuries had fully healed, hidden complications remained.

At times, her immortal power would lose control.

This was a sign that her three souls had been severely damaged.

When the soul was unsound, the body would deteriorate.

With her current strength, completely eradicating the hidden ailment was simply beyond her ability.

And the most important matter at hand was how to establish herself firmly in the Underworld.

To accomplish that goal, the simplest method was to take down Nie Chu.

She understood clearly that Nie Chu was intelligent, obsessed with controlling everything, and extremely suspicious.

For someone like him, ordinary methods would never allow her into his heart.

Her strategy had to change.

Afterward, the two grew closer through ambiguity and intimacy, eventually forming a Daoist partnership despite towering hatred.

Every single step had been calculated by Zheng Ya.

When a man did not believe he had fallen in love with you, that relationship was the most fatal.

Although Nie Chu never said it aloud, his possessiveness toward her soul-form grew stronger and stronger.

That was the best proof.

But Zheng Ya had never been a woman content with only one path.

She wanted more.

The Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits was not a technique of the Underworld at all, but a forbidden art from the Celestial World.

Because it defied the harmony of heaven, it had been banned.

Zheng Ya had obtained it by a stroke of fortune.

Now that she was in the Underworld, and wary that Nie Chu might see her as a threat, she could not openly search for suitable targets for the three souls and seven spirits.

So from that time onward, she had begun enticing Yue Ziwei.

She arranged for him to "accidentally" obtain the Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits while accompanying Nie Chu on an outing.

Given Nie Chu’s temperament, he would naturally never miss an opportunity to strengthen his own three souls and seven spirits.

At that point, with him stepping forward to search for targets, everything would be far more convenient.

Once all the targets were gathered, Zheng Ya could simply reap the benefits.

After hearing all of this, Nie Chu could not help but laugh.

He had believed he controlled everything, that the world was filled with his chess pieces.

Yet he had never imagined that Zheng Ya was the true player.

He was nothing more than a joke.

At this moment, Nie Chu’s soul-form had almost completely turned gray. It was a sign that the poison had taken effect.

Let alone fighting back now, he likely could not even stand.

He lifted his head to look at Zheng Ya and asked softly, "Did you ever love me?"
