Chapter 1172 Reclaiming the Body

Ji Ning was taken aback by Ye Ling's directness and confirmed, "You mean... now?"

"Yes, that's right, right now," Ye Ling chuckled, then his gaze swept towards the stunned Long Di in the distance.

Feeling Ye Ling's sharp gaze, Long Di trembled and quickly said, "I... I won't disturb you two. You two enjoy yourselves!"

With that, Long Di dared not linger any longer and quickly departed. The events that had just transpired were completely beyond his comprehension. Zhou Wen was already considered a top-tier ultimate expert, yet in front of Ye Ling, he was like a mere chick, easily slaughtered by Ye Ling at will. Long Di couldn't comprehend Ye Ling's current strength.

After seeing Long Di leave, Ye Ling turned his attention back to Ji Ning and smiled, "Now that no one is disturbing us, let's begin."

"Okay..." Ji Ning dared not disobey Ye Ling's command and began to undress in front of him.

"Wait a moment," Ye Ling suddenly called out to Ji Ning.

"Do you... have any other requests?" Ji Ning looked at Ye Ling nervously and asked cautiously.

"I was just recalling, there are quite a few uniforms on Earth, and they're rather interesting..." Ye Ling smiled slightly at Ji Ning, then conjured set after set of uniforms with runes. Maid, nurse, black stockings, white stockings...

Ji Ning's face instantly turned red upon seeing the beautiful and revealing clothes floating in mid-air. "These, these are..." This was her first time seeing such clothes, and her heart began to race. She was incredibly curious about the Earth Ye Ling spoke of. What kind of world could create such attire?

"Ji Ning, choose one and put it on." Ye Ling pushed the clothes towards Ji Ning, allowing her to pick any one. Ji Ning looked at the clothes before her, her heart beating faster and faster, and finally chose a lace maid outfit.

"Ye Ling... how is it?" Ji Ning asked Ye Ling somewhat shyly.

Ye Ling's gaze roamed over Ji Ning, and he chuckled, "Not bad. Let's begin..." With that, Ye Ling snapped his fingers, and the Devouring Domain spread out from beneath his feet, forming a massive barrier that enveloped both him and Ji Ning.

In a relatively enclosed environment, Ji Ning felt a little more at ease. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Ye Ling. Ye Ling smiled as Ji Ning approached, his lips curving upwards. He immediately wrapped his arms around Ji Ning's waist and kissed her again.

However, the moment Ye Ling kissed her, a powerful soul force surged from within Ji Ning, seizing the opportunity to burrow back into Ye Ling's body. Feeling a familiar soul force entering his body, Ye Ling's pupils contracted slightly. He tried to push Ji Ning away, but Ji Ning took the opportunity to embrace him, refusing to let go!

"Damn it..." Ye Ling struggled to break free from Ji Ning, but the soul force that had entered his body was rapidly taking control, leaving him no time to deal with Ji Ning, who was still kissing him. Ji Ning took the chance to push Ye Ling to the ground, straddling him, and whispered, "Ye Ling... I've hidden your consciousness for so long, helping you defeat destiny. Now, using your body as payment, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"However, it doesn't matter if you have objections. After all, you're currently fighting destiny for control of your body. Your body... I can use it however I please." Ji Ning chuckled, her lips exhaling warm breath. Her fingertips traced Ye Ling's chest, and her spiritual energy tore through Ye Ling's clothes, revealing his chest.

Meanwhile, inside Ye Ling's body. Ye Ling's pre-backed-up consciousness had begun to confront Destiny, vying for control of the body. When Ye Ling received the Heavenly Cloud Holy Spring inheritance, he realized he might be influenced by some special existence, giving rise to a second personality consciousness akin to a heart demon. Therefore, before absorbing the inheritance, he had segmented a portion of his soul and life essence, hiding it within his consciousness space.

However, after receiving the new power, Ye Ling discovered that his soul and thoughts were constantly being corroded by that power. If this continued, he would eventually become someone else, namely Destiny. Since Destiny inherited all his memories and abilities, his soul hidden in the depths of his consciousness space would only be erased by the new consciousness.

Therefore, while he was not yet fully influenced, Ye Ling kissed Ji Ning forcefully, planting his backed-up soul and life essence within Ji Ning's body. Fortunately, Ji Ning was not foolish. After receiving Ye Ling's soul and life essence, she kept it secret, nurturing Ye Ling's soul and life essence in secret, waiting for an opportunity to return Ye Ling's soul and life essence and correct Ye Ling's distorted thoughts. And that opportunity was precisely when the two were in intimate contact!

"You old consciousness, get out of my body! I am Destiny! This body is mine!" Destiny roared within Ye Ling, attempting to expel Ye Ling's main consciousness from the body.

"What do you mean old consciousness... I am me, and my body should be controlled by me. You call yourself Destiny, but in my eyes, you are merely another type of heart demon," Ye Ling said coldly, constantly using runes to reclaim territory within his body. Although Destiny brought Ye Ling all the power of the Heavenly Cloud Holy Spring, all that power was within Ye Ling's body. In other words... Ye Ling, as the master of his own body, could also use that power. This rendered Destiny's powerful strength advantage null and void. The two could only compete for control of the body based on their willpower.

Although Ye Ling currently only had a small portion of his soul force and life essence, Destiny had only recently been born and was also a person who indulged in desires and lacked restraint. Destiny was born powerful and knew no hardship, thus his spirit could not compare to Ye Ling, who had experienced countless life-and-death crises and walked on the edge of a blade.

Upon returning to his own body, Ye Ling's consciousness began to fight for control of his body with overwhelming momentum. Destiny could only retreat steadily, watching helplessly as Ye Ling suppressed him back into the consciousness space.

"Ye Ling, you old-fashioned thinking, you don't deserve to use this perfect body! You simply don't deserve it! Give the body back to me!" Destiny roared hysterically, trying to break out of Ye Ling's consciousness space, but suddenly felt something dragging him from behind! Destiny was startled and quickly looked back, only to see another consciousness dragging him. However, this consciousness dragging him had a hint of malevolence on its face.

"You, who are you?" Destiny looked at the other Ye Ling consciousness in surprise and asked, "I am his heart demon," the heart demon chuckled. "You're called Destiny, right? You can't beat the original, so why don't you just stay obediently in the consciousness space with me?"

"Since you are a heart demon, why are you helping the original? Shouldn't we be on the same side?" Destiny asked the heart demon, confused. "Heart demon, help me regain control of the body, and we'll share the body!" He, like the heart demon, was a second personality derived from Ye Ling's original self. His purpose was to replace the main personality and completely control the body. He couldn't understand why Ye Ling's heart demon would help Ye Ling.

"I'm not like you," the heart demon mocked Destiny. "You're just an unrestrained old lecher, spreading your seed all over the place with our body. When you have a bunch of offspring, will you take responsibility?"

"Living between heaven and earth, one should be free and unrestrained, doing as one pleases. I have powerful strength, so I can do whatever I want. Why should I be responsible?" Destiny retorted.

"Sigh... That's why you can't control the body and tarnish our reputation," the heart demon sighed heavily. "You'd better stay obediently in the consciousness space!" The heart demon roared, then forcefully pulled Destiny, dragging him towards the depths of the consciousness space!

"With the heart demon helping to restrain Destiny, although I can't eliminate him yet... at least he'll be quiet for a while. I'll figure out how to deal with him later," Ye Ling muttered to himself, watching the heart demon drag Destiny into the depths of the consciousness space, his eyelids slightly lowered. Afterward, Ye Ling retreated outside the consciousness space and sealed it completely with runes, leaving his heart demon and Destiny to contend within the consciousness space, while he himself regained control of his body.

Ye Ling, having regained control of his body, opened his eyes slightly and saw Ji Ning straddling him, her face flushed, sweat beading on her brow, and breathing heavily. He was momentarily stunned. Ji Ning, lost in the moment, also froze when she saw Ye Ling suddenly open his eyes. Their eyes met, and an awkward silence filled the air. Ye Ling glanced at his body, then at Ji Ning straddling him, and asked, "Are you... done?"
