“Auntie, let’s not waste everyone’s time,” said Cheng Guang. “Please speak quickly so you can leave sooner. If you delay any further and everyone in the mansion wakes up, leaving won’t be so easy for you.”
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, the Queen of the South Ming clenched her teeth in anger.
To tell the truth, at the instant when Black Cub withdrew its aura, she was ready to use the Different Treasure to teleport away immediately.
But the Queen of the South Ming also knew that even if she could temporarily escape now, what good would it do?
After all, she was no match for that black dog beside Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.
The Queen of the South Ming had come to think that this black dog might just be some unnamed Demon Emperor.
The very fact that a Demon Emperor in person appeared in this Four Directions Mortal World was already shocking to the Queen of the South Ming.
What shocked her even more was that this unnamed Demon Emperor was now pitifully lying at Cheng Guang’s feet, its huge dog head being toyed with like a plaything, looking inexplicably desolate.
Just one glance from the Queen of the South Ming made her feel like her eyes were dirtied.
However, this scene also gave some comfort to the Queen of the South Ming’s wounded heart.
After all, if a Demon Emperor looked so miserable in front of Cheng Guang, it was no big deal if she, a part of the Abyss Demon Emperor, also looked a bit pathetic.
Truly, it was a case of ‘the pot calling the kettle black.’
The Queen of the South Ming took a deep breath, her eyes still full of dignity, and her body involuntarily twisted a few times, highlighting her exquisite and curvaceous figure.
“The method I used to change the crown prince’s person into the King of South Ming’s appearance is quite simple,” she said. “It involves merging the King of South Ming’s physical body into the crown prince’s body.”
“Merge the King of South Ming’s physical body into the crown prince’s body?” Cheng Guang frowned slightly.
He was somewhat perplexed by what the Queen of the South Ming was saying.
What did she mean by merging a physical body into the crown prince’s body?
Could one physical body be integrated with another?
Cheng Guang didn’t understand.
Seeing the confusion on Cheng Guang’s face, the Queen of the South Ming immediately clarified.
“I have a method that can refine the body of the deceased, integrating it into my own, so that I can change my appearance to match that of the deceased and also inherit some of their power and bloodline.”
“The crown prince isn’t me so, logically, he shouldn’t be able to merge with the King of South Ming’s corpse. However, with the aid of a Different Treasure, he could share a part of my abilities and thereby achieve this,” she explained.
Knowing what Cheng Guang might ask next, the Queen of the South Ming didn’t wait for him to inquire and went on, “That Different Treasure, once it targets someone, can inherit a bit of the target’s abilities. Just like you’re thinking, the target was set to me, granting him certain abilities of mine, allowing his appearance and even his Primordial Spirit to completely maintain the appearance of the King of South Ming.”
“To revert the King of South Ming back to his original crown prince appearance is also simple. Just let all the abilities he got from me disappear,” she added.
Cheng Guang understood from her words roughly how the crown prince had transformed into the King of South Ming.
His gaze fell on the Queen of the South Ming.
“So, how does this Different Treasure target someone?” he asked.
“To restore the King of South Ming to the appearance of the crown prince, is it necessary to destroy that Different Treasure?” Cheng Guang looked at the Queen of South Ming, voicing his queries.
The Queen of South Ming shook her head, slipped her hand down her neckline, exposing a large expanse of fair skin, seemingly oblivious as she pulled out a necklace from around her neck.
Hanging from the necklace was a piece of jade.
“This jade is what’s used to target someone. The Different Treasure is named Si Tong and comes in a pair. Destroying one automatically renders the other one ineffective.”
“Of course, even without destroying it, simply taking this jade off my neck will make the King of South Ming reveal his true form,” she said.
After finishing her explanation, the Queen of South Ming seemed much more defeated.
She knew that once Cheng Guang learned this information, the King of South Ming, or rather the crown prince, would have no more secrets in front of Cheng Guang.
If the crown prince’s identity were exposed, the original plan of the Abyss Demon Emperor would utterly fail.
Even if her part could make it back to the Ten-Layered Demon Sea, she would have no good ending to speak of.
If she didn’t return to the Ten-Layered Demon Sea, when the main consciousness noticed the anomaly here and descended upon her, she would meet a terrible death just the same.
For a moment, the Queen of South Ming felt her body go weak.
At that moment,
Cheng Guang, having heard all this, narrowed his eyes, his fingers lightly tapping on the table as he pondered.
The Queen of South Ming’s words made Cheng Guang inwardly exclaim in admiration.
So this Different Treasure actually worked on a voluntary basis.
To share the same ability, one needed to find another willing to share their powers.
Once the Different Treasure was removed, it would lose its effect.
The method of use was simple, yet the effect was visibly powerful.
With this Different Treasure, one could potentially inherit an ability from any other race.
If Cheng Guang himself got hold of it, even hanging it on Black Cub would be very useful.
Not a bit would be wasted.
Moreover, according to the Queen of South Ming, the Si Tong in the King of South Ming’s possession wasn’t a one-time use item, meaning it could be reused.
