Mortal's Journey: Reborn as Xin Ruyin, she begins by possessing Qi Yun's body.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, Xin Ruyin forced a smile and asked, "Brother Qi, is there something you need from me today?"

After saying that, she sat down in the seat next to Qi Yunxiao.

After Qi Yunxiao sat down, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, it's nothing serious. I just haven't seen Ruyin for many days and I was thinking of her, so I came to see her."

Xin Ruyin thought to herself: He really is a super simp.

To cover up her embarrassment, Xin Ruyin poured him a cup of tea.

"Brother Qi, I recently set up a new illusion array and was looking for someone to test its power. Would you like to come and experience it for yourself?"

Then, Xin Ruyin, too lazy to mince words any longer, cut straight to the point.

Qi Yunxiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He had been looking for an excuse to spend a little more time with her, and immediately said excitedly, "Great! Sister Ruyin, please take it out quickly!"

"But we still need to make some preparations, as we are most afraid of being disturbed when setting up the formation."

Xin Ruyin continued, "I will activate the array restrictions on the mountain. That way, no one will disturb us no matter what we do."

Xin Ruyin was taken aback upon hearing this.

I'm doing whatever I want without being bothered, so why do I feel so excited?

Xin Ruyin then ignored Qi Yunxiao and immediately activated the array through the array plate.

He then turned around and went to the door, gently closing the door to the front hall.

Seeing this, Qi Yunxiao had no doubts whatsoever. On the contrary, he was overjoyed to be alone with Xin Ruyin, and his silly grin became even more pronounced.

At this moment, Xin Ruyin turned her head, a warm smile spreading across her face.

If this smile were seen by others, it would probably make them wary and shudder, but to Qi Yunxiao, who was deeply in love, it was like a gentle breeze, and he was so captivated by it that he was momentarily mesmerized.

"Brother Qi, please wait a moment, I will set up the formation immediately."

Her tone grew softer, but she thought to herself, "Since I'll have to use your body anyway, I'll give you a little more kindness so you can leave more comfortably."

Qi Yunxiao grinned foolishly and agreed, then obediently sat down.

With a flash of light at Xin Ruyin's fingertips, the array plate was already in her grasp.

She focused her mind and made hand seals, and streams of spiritual light shot out from her fingertips, landing precisely in the corners of the room.

In the blink of an eye, a formation covering most of the front hall quietly appeared, with colorful flowing light swirling on the protective shield, looking quite dazzling and charming.

Before Qi Yunxiao could examine it closely, Xin Ruyin changed her incantation again, and the formation disappeared like the tide, as if it had never existed.

"Brother Qi, I'd like to trouble you to help me test the effectiveness of this formation."

She turned around and said with a smile.

Qi Yunxiao immediately stood up and said loudly, "This is nothing, I will definitely cooperate fully. Ruyin, what do you suggest?"

Seeing his cooperation, Xin Ruyin smiled even more brightly: "This formation is called the 'Thousand Illusions Formation,' an illusion formation that can deceive the five senses. Once a cultivator enters, he will fall into an illusion. The controller can change the scene at will, allowing the person inside to experience battles, dangers, opportunities, or various illusions related to the seven emotions and six desires."

She paused briefly, glanced at Qi Yunxiao who was listening intently, and then said, "Since it's an illusion, it naturally has little offensive power. Once you enter, Brother Qi, you must not attack the formation. I will create a comfortable illusion for you."

Qi Yunxiao immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Ruyin, I will never lay a hand on you, much less resist."

"I will remove the formation in a moment. Then, Brother Qi, please tell me about your experience in the illusion."

Xin Ruyin added, a subtle, yet profound meaning creeping into her smile.

"Of course, of course."

As Qi Yunxiao spoke, he stepped into the area covered by the formation and urged, "Ruyin, let's begin."

Xin Ruyin was just what she wanted, so she nodded slightly and immediately activated the array plate.

Xin Ruyin gazed at the re-rising array light screen, her eyes slightly darkening: as long as he is immersed in the illusion and unable to break free, his soul will gradually decay in endless depletion, leaving behind an intact body.

She could easily create a battle illusion, causing him to die in terror.

But if that were the case, Qi Yunxiao would most likely be running around wildly in the illusion.

Although she was very confident in the formation and knew that Qi Yunxiao, with his fourth level of Qi Refining cultivation, would have a hard time breaking it, she was worried and did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, since we will eventually borrow his body to give him a beautiful dream, it can be considered a small compensation, and it may help alleviate his inner demons when he breaks through in the future.

"Go in peace."

Xin Ruyin silently recited in her heart: "In the illusion, you will be happily married to Xin Ruyin and have children. You will jointly achieve Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation, surrounded by children, establishing the Qi Clan of Immortals, and dominating the southern sky. Finally, you will ascend hand in hand to the Spirit Realm, then ascend to the Immortal Realm, forever together, joyful and carefree."

Such a dreamlike state would surely make Qi Yunxiao die without regrets.

Once she made up her mind, she no longer hesitated. She made a series of hand seals with her fingertips, and the illusion array immediately became radiant with light.

Countless dazzling points of light swirled like stars, completely engulfing the figures within the formation.

Qi Yunxiao, who was in the formation, was trapped in the illusion the moment it was activated.

Xin Ruyin stared at the figure grinning foolishly within the array's light screen and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "This Qi Yunxiao is truly deeply in love, falling into the trap so easily. Well, that's fine too, it saves me the trouble of worrying about him breaking free from the illusion. Judging from his appearance, he's clearly enjoying himself."

Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She turned around, returned to her seat, and poured herself a drink.

"Now all we had to do was wait quietly. I never expected things to go so smoothly."

She took a sip of the spiritual tea, her gaze falling on Qi Yunxiao, who was grinning foolishly in the formation. She thought to herself, "The spiritual tea that the original owner brewed is indeed mellow and delicious. No wonder even Han Li in the original story praised it highly."

Thinking about it, she picked up her teacup again and took a small sip.

Before we knew it, it was noon the next day.

Inside the front hall, Xin Ruyin sensed that Qi Yunxiao, who had collapsed within the formation, had already lost his life force.

He then removed the Thousand Illusion Array and put the array plate into his storage bag.

She walked up to Qi Yunxiao, who was sitting cross-legged, and saw a satisfied smile on his face. She sighed softly, "Compared to the ending in the original story where he was seriously injured and died, he might be more willing to accept this fate."

After saying that, she sat cross-legged opposite Qi Yunxiao and performed the technique of separating her soul from her body.

In an instant, a ball of luminous green light floated out from her forehead, but to his surprise, something else followed his soul and entered Qi Yunxiao's body.

Because of the high speed and the close distance between the two, he didn't have time to check before he completed the possession.

Xin Ruyin's body went limp and she fell forward.

Qi Yunxiao, on the other side, suddenly opened his eyes.

He let out a long sigh, stood up unsteadily, and muttered to himself, "From now on, I am Qi Yunxiao."

As he adjusted to this unfamiliar body, he frowned slightly: "It's indeed difficult to adapt after possession. It seems I'll need to go into seclusion for a few days to adjust, and I also need to rebuild my cultivation."
