What good fortune from a past life had he cultivated to find such a treasure?
He felt as if he were dreaming.
He pinched his thigh; it hurt!
"I'll escort you back," Mo Qi stood up and said earnestly, "It's dangerous for you to go back alone."
"I'm not alone," Yao Shuang's lips curved slightly, "Look behind you."
Mo Qi turned his head and was startled.
A line of people stood behind him!
When had they appeared?
His cheeks flushed with heat, having entertained some inappropriate thoughts just moments ago!
But the people behind him, after a glance, he didn't want to look a second time.
They were all strangely shaped.
In three words: ugly freaks!
One person, slightly hunched and with wings on his back, sighed, "Alas, boy, what good fortune did you cultivate in your past life?"
Yao Shuang pouted playfully, "Big Brother!"
Her tender demeanor was enough to evoke pity.
At this moment, Mo Qi still felt as if he were in the clouds. He thought that if she asked him to die, he might do so without hesitation.
Luohuoluo smiled, "I'm just displeased, but as long as my little sister likes it, that's all that matters."
He then beckoned to Mo Qi, "Come here for a moment."
What was this? Did he want to whisper secrets?
Mo Qi glanced at Yao Shuang, who nodded gently.
Mo Qi walked over reluctantly.
Luohuoluo pulled Mo Qi a few steps further back. Away from the crowd, he placed his hands on Mo Qi's shoulders and said, "Among the girls with you, there is one named Shi Siyao. You must be especially careful."
Mo Qi grumbled inwardly, careful of what? What harm could that silly girl do?
"Shuang'er said she thinks that girl looks a lot like her. Do you think so?" Luohuoluo asked.
His words were disjointed, leaving Mo Qi utterly confused, but he still answered honestly, "Not at all."
Luohuoluo continued, "Do you remember what happened in Mount Shura? When we came out, we were injured. Shuang'er was the most severely hurt, her soul was scattered, and those residual souls attached themselves to Miss Shi. If I'm not mistaken, she has already been possessed. Therefore, the current Shi Siyao is no longer the original Shi Siyao."
Mo Qi was greatly alarmed!
But the problem was, he didn't know the original Shi Siyao either.
So he couldn't judge whether Luohuoluo's words were true. "You mean, the reason Shuang'er thinks Shi Siyao looks like her is because her scattered soul is within her?"
Luohuoluo nodded, "Precisely."
Mo Qi suddenly said with guilt, "Back then, it seemed I struck the hardest..."
"At that time, we were fighting for our respective masters, so it's not your fault," Luohuoluo sighed.
"How much does this affect her?" Mo Qi asked, feeling distressed.
"It affects her lifespan," Luohuoluo said mournfully.
Mo Qi felt struck by lightning!
His heart was wrung with pain!
After only a brief interaction, he felt that this girl had truly touched his soul.
Even Xue Nu, Xue Ying, Xiao Bai, Lu Xiaoyue... none of them could achieve this.
Some people, you can be with them your whole life and still feel like strangers;
Others, you can spend fifteen minutes with and feel like you've known them forever.
"Is there any way?" Mo Qi asked, suppressing his sadness.
"There are ways," Luohuoluo hesitated, "It's to get those residual souls back into her body. We haven't tried the specific method yet, and it might require some medicinal assistance."
Soul-Returning Pill!
Mo Qi suddenly thought of the very pill he had been preparing all this time.
Luohuoluo then continued, "However, Shuang'er doesn't want us to try. Firstly, that girl will die. Secondly, some of her original malicious thoughts and evil impulses have also passed over with those residual souls, and she likes her current self very much, enjoying her current state. Therefore, we dare not force it."
Malicious thoughts and evil impulses?
Mo Qi immediately shook his head, "The current Shi Siyao is also very kind!"
At least, she had shown him mercy multiple times!
Luohuoluo snorted coldly, "For a possessed body to remain uncorrupted for a long time, extreme measures must be taken, such as absorbing the vital essence of others..."
"Then, who is currently residing in Shi Siyao's body, her or Shuang'er's residual soul? If it's the residual soul, it's as if Shuang'er has been split into two, which feels rather preposterous," Mo Qi asked, confused.
"This is the first time we've encountered such a phenomenon. I'm not sure who is inside her, or rather, who is in control. But it's certain that during the struggle for the body, the body will be eroded, and she will need to constantly absorb vital essence from others."
Mo Qi shook his head, "No, she's not that kind of person."
"Alright," Luohuoluo sighed powerlessly, "Believe it or not, I've said what I needed to say. How you handle it is your own business."
Then he glared at Mo Qi fiercely, "Remember, no matter what our positions are in the future, you must not let Little Shuang down."
Mo Qi nodded, "Of course."
But such words made him feel dejected!
He didn't want that situation to arise!
Wouldn't it be better if everyone got along peacefully?
Mo Qi suddenly remembered Cangshan and asked urgently, "Where did the bald guy who came with me go?"
Luohuoluo thought for a long time before saying, "There did seem to be a bald man lying in the field at the time. We thought he was dead and didn't touch him. Perhaps he's still there."
Luohuoluo turned and walked towards the crowd, with Mo Qi following him.
When everyone turned back, they realized he had followed.
"We're leaving, why aren't you going?" Luohuoluo asked, somewhat surprised.
Mo Qi looked at Yao Shuang and her slightly protruding belly, not knowing what to say.
Yao Shuang smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Wait for me."
Then she generously took Mo Qi's hand and walked away.
They stopped after walking dozens of feet.
Mo Qi felt that Yao Shuang was particularly gentle today.
They say that women become maternal when they become mothers, but in reality, their maternal love begins from the moment they are pregnant.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Yao Shuang looked at Mo Qi with eyes full of smiles.
Mo Qi thought for a long time, feeling he had many things to say, yet nothing to say.
But if he didn't speak, she would feel awkward.
"I just feel like I'm dreaming, but I don't want to wake up," Mo Qi said in a low voice.
"Me too," Yao Shuang smiled, "But I've been having this dream for almost ten years, and you've only just begun."
"How about I go with you to the Asura Realm? I suddenly don't want to strive anymore," Mo Qi said bravely.
Yao Shuang chuckled, "You want to enter the place we've spent our lives trying to escape? Perhaps you haven't experienced it yet. Once you go there, you won't say that."
"If it's so terrible, how can I rest assured that you're going to such a place?" Mo Qi said, his emotions stirred.
Yao Shuang's eyes welled up with tears, yet she still smiled, her tears mingled with her smile, creating a poignant beauty.
She didn't know how she had endured countless nights of uncertainty in the past.
She was very worried, what if he didn't accept her?
What if he didn't acknowledge their connection?
It was like a desperate gambler on the table, hoping only to win!
Because she couldn't afford to lose!
However, the moment she saved him, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness, making her feel that he was already her kin, and there would be no accidents.
As it turned out, all her worries were in vain.
As he said, it felt like they had met too late.
It was as if they had known each other for a very, very long time.
Perhaps, their fate began in a past life.
"Then, may I ask, where is your home?"
"Fengxi Village. It's a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, with pleasant scenery, an ideal place for seclusion," Mo Qi replied immediately.
Yao Shuang was actually moved, then shook her head, "It won't do, I'll scare people."
Seeing Mo Qi still insisting, she immediately pouted playfully, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. From now on, I'll listen to you, but this time, I must go back. The child of an Asura can only be born in the Asura Realm."
Mo Qi stared at her blankly, mesmerized and intoxicated!
A moment later, he took out some pills from his storage bag and handed them to Yao Shuang, "These are for fetal stability. You can take some."
Yao Shuang took them, her eyes shining, "I knew your pills were miraculous, I didn't expect to taste them today."
"From now on, whatever pills you want, I will refine for you."
A happy smile bloomed on Yao Shuang's face.
Mo Qi then took out a small bottle containing Nine Heavens Jade Dew.
After it had dissolved into water, he had divided it into countless small bottles, intending to give them to his friends and family.
He handed the small bottle to Yao Shuang, "This is Nine Heavens Jade Dew. I know your cultivation is very high, and you might look down on such things..."
Before he could finish, Yao Shuang took it, "Whatever you give me, I like."
As she said this, her pretty face flushed, "Do you wish you could give me everything?"
Mo Qi was indeed thinking that, feeling very embarrassed to have his thoughts read.
Yao Shuang then pointed to Mo Qi's chest, "I only need this."
Mo Qi pulled out a knife, ready to cut himself open!
Yao Shuang was startled, "What are you doing?"
Mo Qi smiled, "Don't you want it?"
Yao Shuang snatched the knife from his hand and pouted, "I didn't expect you to be so mischievous."
Mo Qi then said solemnly, "Mischievous but real."
Yao Shuang placed his hand on her belly, "Touch the child again, and then I'll leave."
Could he feel the child through this?
However, he complied obediently.
But strangely, he truly felt as if he had touched something.
A lively and spirited life!
He felt a peculiar emotion, unsure if it was satisfaction or pride.
A moment later, Yao Shuang left, blending into the crowd, looking back repeatedly.
Mo Qi was lost and dejected.
It was as if he had instantly fallen from heaven to hell!
He sighed softly and quickened his pace towards the open field.
From a distance, he saw a large crowd gathered there.
Mo Qi's heart tightened. Could it be the indigenous people?
As he got closer, he realized it was his own people!
