Chapter 140: Eldest Senior Sister: I Am the Mistress!

Wrapped in a blaze of light, the two walked out hand in hand; behind them, the mindscape collapsed with a roar as if it had never existed at all.

Back in the real world, Zhou Tong woke first. He found his senior sister curled in his arms like a lazy cat, unwilling to open her eyes. He patted her back and said softly: “Time to get up.”

She rubbed her cheek against him twice, smiling in half-sleep as she mumbled, “Mm… I’m exhausted. You wore me out in that dream. Let me sleep a little longer!”

Zhou Tong glanced at her and muttered to himself: “If anyone saw this, the eldest senior sister’s mighty image would be gone. Should I record it and show Master and the others?”

Her eyes flashed open at once as she snapped: “Don’t you dare!”

He chuckled and said, “I knew you were faking.”

She puffed up and growled, “You knew and still exposed me? See if I don’t teach you a lesson!” She grabbed his forearm and bit down hard.

Zhou Tong’s mouth twitched. Now there were three neat bite marks on his hand. He sighed and said, “Are you two trying to unlock achievements on my body?”

She lifted her chin and said plainly, “Wrong. I’m staking my claim.”

He waved it aside and said, “Claiming your territory can wait. Zhao Wu Tian is still outside. Don’t you want to have a little talk with him?”

At that, Zhang Chu Qiao’s face turned cold. She said, “You’re right. We’ll kill that scum first, then talk about the rest.”

Quietly, her aura spilled out. She had stepped into the Reincarnation Realm. With her Yin Yang Dao Physique and her invincible-in-the-same-realm stance, even Mo Liu Su was likely no longer her match.

Zhou Tong grinned and said, “Congratulations, senior sister. That’s a huge leap.”

She eyed him and said, “It still can’t compare to you, can it?”

He rubbed his neck and said, “Maybe…”

Then he stood and stopped hiding his own power. He had reached the Ninth Layer. The moment he crossed the extraordinary threshold, he climbed nine small realms in a row. The speed of this breakthrough was shocking, yet this was the smallest gain he had made.

Zhang Chu Qiao studied him up and down, then said gently, “I can feel my power of annihilation inside you. And not just that—there’s a much stronger aura too.”

“You guessed it,” Zhou Tong answered. He opened his palm, and a tiny person jumped out and stood there on his hand.

Zhang Chu Qiao’s eyes widened. She whispered, “Is that… a dharma form?”

She had never seen one like this. It had a physical body and bright, lively eyes that showed high intelligence. Better yet, it carried her aura, and its face looked seventy percent like Zhou Tong’s.

It was like… like the two of them had a child.

Her flawless face flushed crimson. She lowered her head and murmured to herself: “Does that mean… I win?”

Zhou Tong said, “To be precise, this is the Form of No Phase.” His dharma form had fused the No Phase Realm, the Power of the Primordial One, and the Breath of Annihilation, causing a change never seen before. It could contain all things, evolve every form in the world, and even go further. It was the strongest dharma form of all ages.

Zhang Chu Qiao squinted at the small figure and asked, “But can a little one like this really fight?”

At those words, the Form of No Phase bristled like it had been insulted. It sprang up and punched forward with a thunderous roar: “Houla!!”

The shout carried a blast of Mind Shock that rattled the heart. The punch wind alone made the cracks in space tremble, and the Divine Boar squealed and hurried to reinforce the space. It was strength that could Break All Arts.

Zhou Tong sucked in a breath. He thought, [This Form of No Phase might actually be stronger than me. If I traded punches with it, I might lose.]

Seeing their stunned faces, the little form tilted its chin, proud as could be.

Zhang Chu Qiao’s eyes gleamed. She said, “Junior brother, give me a moment. I have words for this little one.” She snatched the Form of No Phase with both hands and stepped far away in a single stride.

The little one thrashed and roared, “Houla! Houla!” trying to break free.

She held it tight and warned, “Listen up, little guy. If you hurt me, my junior brother will be angry.”

The Form of No Phase went still at once and let out a low, unhappy growl: “Houla…”

Clearly it knew this woman outranked it.

Zhang Chu Qiao smiled like a wicked woman coaxing a child and said, “That’s better. I’m your mistress, and I count as your mother. No matter how strong you are, you can’t be rude to me.”

The little one turned its head away, voice softer: “Houla…”

She flipped her palm, and a wisp of the Breath of Annihilation appeared out of thin air. The little form’s eyes lit up with pure hunger. This was rare nourishment for it.

She teased, “You want it?”

The little one nodded at once.

She hummed, “What should I do? Disobedient children don’t get rewards.”

The little one blurted, clear as day: “Mother!”

A tremor ran through Zhang Chu Qiao. The child could speak—and that form of address felt so good.

She brightened all over and said, “Alright, alright… it’s all yours,” and handed over the Breath of Annihilation. The little one didn’t stand on ceremony. It gulped the power down, looking blissful.

Watching, the eldest senior sister felt her heart melt. She cast Zhou Tong a quick, sidelong glance, and a strange, warm emotion surged up. [Maybe this is what home feels like?]

A moment later she walked back, holding the Form of No Phase in her arms. She said, “We should give the little one a name.”

Zhou Tong smiled and said, “Looks like you two get along well. Any ideas, senior sister?”

Her grin grew wider, the corners of her lips as hard to press down as a happy pig at New Year. Naming a child was the mistress’s privilege. She said, “Since he likes to shout ‘Houla, Houla,’ why not call him Little La—”

“Houla!!” the little one protested at once.

She laughed and said, “Then we’ll call you Little White. No Phase is like a blank page, full of endless possibilities.”

The little one finally smiled. He liked it.

Zhou Tong said, “Alright, Little White, time to head out.”

Little White answered, “Houla!” He drew back a fist and shattered the spatial wall with one punch, opening a path.

The two exchanged a smile and stepped through side by side.
