📢 New Novel Launch!
“One and the same? I don’t know you!” Baili Xiao’s expression turned panicked again. “This is the Baili Clan, an imperial lineage. You’d better not get too reckless.”
“Deep down, you know the truth. We are one. Running away won’t solve anything,” the cold voice replied. “Otherwise, how do you think you obtained the Grand Grand Empress’s inheritance?”
“That inheritance has nothing to do with me anymore,” Baili Xiao said calmly.
“If you truly want revenge, there’s still hope,” the voice coaxed gently. “Relax your mind. Let go of resistance. Merge our souls into one, and I can help you.”
“And then what? After merging our souls, will I still be me?” Baili Xiao asked, voice flat.
“I told you, we were always one. Even if you resist now, soon enough, our souls will merge on their own. That outcome cannot be changed,” the voice replied. “Or rather, the current you is already incomplete. The name ‘Baili Xiao’ is just your name in this lifetime. Your true name… is Lin Yuqing, the Jade Purity Immortal.”
As the voice faded, Baili Xiao remained silent for a long time.
Back when she returned to the Baili Clan, she had discovered a second soul within her body.
Strictly speaking, this soul had always been there, only recently had it begun to awaken.
At first, she thought someone was trying to possess her. But eventually, she sensed something strange, this soul was not foreign.
It was part of her.
The feeling was surreal. Like looking into a mirror, identical in form, but entirely different in personality.
…
“What exactly is going on?” Baili Xiao took a deep breath and asked.
“So you’re done running away?” the voice replied with a hint of amusement.
“I never intended to run,” Baili Xiao said calmly. “Did I receive the Grand Grand Empress’s legacy because of you?”
“Don’t divide things so cleanly. I told you, we’re the same being,” the voice replied with reverence.
