Mushroom Man

Seize the house!

That's right, it's possession!
The only way that Zhuge Shanhun and Huo Wang Ehun could think of to bypass the mirage was to possess the Fairy Mushroom and directly become a dragon in the Dragon Palace, thereby achieving their goal of invasion.

Since we can't force our way through the mirage and the outside world can't affect it, why not find another way and just let the dragon people inside become them?

However, this approach still has significant drawbacks.

That's because the mirage prevented them from fully utilizing the wondrous effects of the Possession Fairy Mushroom.

In this situation, their target for possession will be highly uncertain.

Moreover, it cannot carry all the divided souls; it can only separate a wisp of the divided soul for possession.

If one forcibly takes all the divided souls to possess another body, there is only one possibility.

That is because the target's cultivation level is insufficient and their physical body is weak, making it unable to accommodate their powerful divided souls, thus resulting in the failure of the possession attempt.

However, this is acceptable to both Zhuge Shan Hun and Huo Wang E Hun.

After all, even if they could carry all the divided souls, they wouldn't dare to recklessly seize a body.

Now, judging from the mirage, it is certain that there are beings of the level of mushroom immortals in the Dragon Palace.

The benevolent soul of Zhuge and the malevolent soul of Huowang are merely three thousand fragments of Zhuge Huowang's soul, not the complete Zhuge Huowang.

The combined strength of the two of them is only equivalent to that of a sixth-level Mushroom Immortal.

If one rashly enters the Dragon Palace and is ambushed by the Mushroom Fairy, dying tragically there, then the trouble would be immense.

Therefore, sending a wisp of soul inside to explore and understand the situation, and then finding a way to break the mirage, is the most correct decision.

Zhuge Shanhun and Huo Wang Ehun exchanged a glance and then nodded.

With a thought, they each cut off a wisp of their soul and activated the Possession Immortal Mushroom.

Under the influence of the Possession Fairy Mushroom, the two fragments of their souls vanished without a trace, disappearing into the mirage...

……

Dragon Palace.

Princess' bedroom.

A sense of oppression filled the air.

Ao Miaoyin lay on the bed, her face pale and her brows furrowed.

She seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, and occasionally let out painful groans.

The Silver Dragon King stood by the bedside, silent and weary.

He had been keeping watch here all night, and the sight of his daughter in pain tormented him.

Overnight, the Silver Dragon King's hair turned white, and he looked decades older.

"It's all my fault..."

"If I hadn't brought you back to the Dragon Palace and hadn't turned you into a dragon, you wouldn't be in so much pain."

The Silver Dragon King's lips moved, and he murmured almost imperceptibly, his tone filled with deep self-reproach.

Lost in self-blame, he didn't notice...

After he finished speaking, Ao Miaoyin, who was still unconscious, had her eyelids tremble slightly.

And at the same time...

Ah Hong and Ah Lan, who were waiting outside the boudoir, both looked worried.

They desperately wanted to rush in and see how the princess was doing.

However, the Silver Dragon King had given prior orders that no one was allowed to enter and disturb the princess.

In this situation, no matter how worried they were about the princess, they could only obediently wait outside the door.

"Should we... tell Lord Silver Dragon King about the princess taking the medicinal food?"

Ah Hong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ah Lan and whispered something.

Although the princess had said that this matter must not be told to Lord Silver Dragon King under any circumstances.

But now the princess's chronic illness has relapsed, and she is in critical condition, remaining unconscious to this day.

If Lord Silver Dragon King were to learn about the medicinal cuisine, it might be of some help in saving the princess's life.

But in this case...

They leaked the secret to Lord Silver Dragon King. If the princess wakes up and finds out, she will probably not let them off easily. Isn't Huang'er, who was disobedient before, the best example?
Moreover, even if the princess doesn't punish them, Lord Silver Dragon King won't let them off the hook.

After all, they helped the princess hide such an important matter from Lord Silver Dragon King, and now they're only thinking of confessing it.

It's easy to imagine how angry Lord Silver Dragon King would be.

It's fair to say that reporting this matter at this point would not please either side, and they would certainly face punishment.

only……

If they abandon the princess out of fear of punishment, how can they be worthy of being the princess's maids?
Alan bit her lip, then opened her mouth as if to say something.

But at this moment...

Two wisps of barely perceptible black smoke emerged from somewhere.

The two wisps of black smoke circled once, and then set their sights on Ah Hong and Ah Lan.

Clearly, these two wisps of black smoke are none other than the split souls of Zhuge Shan Hun and Huo Wang E Hun.

"I searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly."

"We're lucky; we've only just infiltrated and we've already run into two dragonmen."

'Perfect, one for each of us, let's just possess each other.'

The benevolent and malevolent spirits were of one mind, and after exchanging ideas, they had no further hesitation.

The next moment, the two wisps of soul entered Ah Hong and Ah Lan's bodies respectively.

"Um……"

Ah Hong and Ah Lan swayed slightly, their expressions freezing instantly.

In just a few breaths, the souls of the two dragon maids were completely devoured by the benevolent and malevolent spirits, their spirits scattered and gone.

A glint of malice flashed in 'Ah Hong' and 'Ah Lan's' eyes, and their expressions turned indifferent and cold.

"It seems everything is going well..."

"Although these two dragonmen have low cultivation levels, they should be sufficient for scouting."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring the Soul-Searching Immortal Mushroom from the original body, so I can't know the memories of these two dragonmen."

"If you want to know about the Dragon Palace, you and I will have to go and explore it ourselves."

Ah Hong was expressionless and spoke in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, 'Ah Lan's' eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the tightly closed door of her boudoir.

'Be careful, it's best if we communicate with sincerity.'

'I sensed a powerful aura inside, and carefully let it overhear.'

"Our next task is to investigate the Dragon Palace, determine if there are any Mushroom Immortals here, and whether that brat Wu Liang is hiding here."

"Let's split up and try not to get noticed, so as not to alert the enemy..."

The two exchanged ideas and then finalized their target.

However, just as they were preparing to leave their posts and go to investigate the situation in the Dragon Palace...

Suddenly, they heard a dragon maiden's voice coming from outside the palace.

"Reporting to Lord Silver Dragon King!"

"Master Wu is outside the palace requesting an audience, wishing to visit the princess."

After a long silence, the Silver Dragon King's hoarse voice finally came from inside the door.

"Ah Hong and Ah Lan, go and welcome Young Master Wu in."

Upon hearing this, Ah Hong and Ah Lan, who were originally trying to escape, stopped in their tracks and exchanged a glance.

Wu Shuai?

Is this name... a coincidence or...?

It can't be such a coincidence that I found that kid as soon as I infiltrated, right?

Regardless, it's easy to tell at a glance whether they're the person they're looking for.

Without hesitation, Ah Hong and Ah Lan immediately spoke up.

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
