In the Sea of Consciousness of Mu Nanqing,
Xiu Niang was sitting with a cross-legged pose, her face wearing a hint of smugness.
"After hundreds of years, I've finally found a body that's highly compatible with mine. At last, I don't have to keep hiding in that ring, eking out a miserable existence."
"This body is almost perfect, its constitution seems to be somewhat special, but most importantly, her figure is close to my original one. Once I possess her body, I will be the Xiu Niang that once again attracts countless men to bow under my pomegranate dress."
As Lu Chuan had guessed, Xiu Niang was indeed a Nascent Soul stage cultivator whose body had been destroyed, and the soul trade she spoke of was her intent to possess Mu Nanqing.
Her body had been destroyed hundreds of years ago, and in a desperate situation, she hid inside the ring that could accommodate a Nascent Soul.
