The Other Half of the Soul

Tang Miao spent the entire night talking with Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu until both women finally collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep. Only then did she take a shower and leave, completely satisfied.

Come to think of it, this was all thanks to Jiang Shaoxu's presence that I managed to defeat them!

Of course, I made quite a few promises last night. Although this big disturbance at the Asian Magic Association was for the sake of human evolution, it was ultimately too risky.

However, risks do come with rewards.

The Fusion Magic configuration, which no other power in the country could obtain, is now possessed by every member of the upper echelons of Moon Snow City.

Furthermore, those who were the first to serve here were all equipped with Fusion Magic.

It can be said that the power of the entire Moon Snow City was enhanced in a unique way at this moment!

Unfortunately, this matter cannot be made public; otherwise, even more mages would likely join Moon Snow City.

After leaving the villa area, Tang Miao headed straight for where Yu Shishi lived.

On their way to Yu Shishi's residence, they ran into Ding Yumian, who was jogging in the morning. It was quite rare to see a girl jogging in the morning in a magical world.

When Ding Yumian saw Tang Miao, she was taken aback at first, and then said, "You're back?"

"Did you miss me?" Tang Miao couldn't just leave after seeing someone she hadn't even tasted yet.

As the saying goes, what you don't have always smells the best.

Ding Yumian's lips twitched slightly, looking as if she didn't know whether she should speak or not...

The main issue is that she doesn't know whether she should say she wants to or doesn't.

Actually, she herself didn't know either...

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."

Seeing her like this, Tang Miao immediately lost interest in knowing the outcome. After all, the result was most likely not what she wanted.

Seeing Tang Miao's response, Ding Yumian a slight sigh of relief before asking, "Are you alright...?"

She also knew about the Asian Magic Association.

Having lived here every day, she certainly wouldn't be completely ignorant of what the people here know.

"Do I look like someone who's in trouble?" Tang Miao retorted.

As he spoke, he leaned closer and gave Ding Yumian a light, fleeting kiss on her lips.

"Ah!!!!"

Suddenly being kissed in public, Ding Yumian instinctively gasped in surprise.

But she quickly covered her mouth again... and said reproachfully, "What... what are you doing!?"

"Damn it!"

Ding Yumian shook her head, looking at Tang Miao's charming appearance.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up...

Mainly, he didn't have much energy left; he really lost too much of his vital energy last night...

"I want to go back to the Pearl Academy, is that alright?" Ding Yumian reached out her small hand, clutching Tang Miao's clothes, and asked softly.

This woman had always been a composed person, so this sudden display of coquetry really caught Tang Miao completely off guard.

This looks absolutely tempting!

But for some reason, he always felt that something was off.

Ding Yumian today really triggered my protective instincts...

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Miao's expression changed slightly as she said, "You are not Ding Yumian."

"What are you talking about? If I'm not Ding Yumian, then who am I?" Ding Yumian was taken aback by Tang Miao's sudden question and asked with a pout.

"I didn't say you weren't a person, but your soul," Tang Miao continued.

"You're talking nonsense..."

Ding Yumian hadn't finished speaking when, seeing Tang Miao's amused expression, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up before she asked, "Oh, how did you figure that out?"

"You look very alluring today, but unfortunately she remains a detached woman..." Tang Miao replied.

"Hehehe... That's right, I forgot. I've always been the one in control of my emotions. She's just a weak soul occupying the body." Ding Yumian said with a smile.

Her voice remained unchanged, but her entire demeanor appeared drastically different.

Tang Miao wasn't particularly surprised by this. Her God Realm was very strong, comparable to Tang Miao's current state, and perhaps even stronger.

But as long as she didn't show it, no one could detect anything.

It's not that she's particularly good at hiding her emotions; it's just that the "she" who possesses all emotions has always been suppressed.

If I remember correctly, after Ding Yumian committed suicide, the soul hidden within her body became an undead, and a very powerful one at that. It instantly gained control of an army of undead Sea Monster.

Tang Miao was puzzled. Ding Yumian had been in Moon Snow City the whole time, so how did "she" manage to take over his body?

"It seems you're not very surprised by my presence?" Ding Yumian continued after seeing Tang Miao looking at her without much expression.

"You are you. Even if your personality is different, you are still you. What's there to be surprised about?" Although Tang Miao was curious, she didn't ask directly.

Souls that have been suppressed for so long inevitably develop a rebellious streak.

We can't spoil them!

"Hmph~ I can tell you if you want to know, I won't keep you in suspense."

"Actually, the main reason I was able to take over this body is thanks to you. Ever since I was suppressed, she was almost like a blank sheet of paper. She didn't fight or compete, she wasn't happy or angry, she wasn't sad or joyful... But it was because of you that her pent-up emotions exploded. When she learned about the Asian Magic Association, she finally faced her weak emotions. And because of this, I gained temporary freedom..."

Ding Yumian told Tang Miao everything that had happened to her, without holding back at all.

After she finished speaking, Tang Miao was even more confused.

Why are you telling me all this?

"Because she is me, and I am her. It's both her and me who likes you. And actually, I like you more than she does~" Ding Yumian said, suddenly moving closer.

Tang Miao did not object to this.

Although her personality has changed, she's right!

She is who she is...

Besides, it doesn't matter if she has any connection to him; he's only lusting after her body.

There's no such thing as lofty love. Tang Miao simply liked her straightforwardness and approachability even more. It's not that he didn't like the indifferent Ding Yumian; that silly girl also had her own charm, otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved in her affairs.

After a sweet kiss, Ding Yumian suddenly said, "I don't have much time, I need you~"

"You're not going to be suppressed again, are you?"

"Yes, I only go out for two or three hours at most each day."

"So you want to gain more freedom through me?"

She did all this simply to stir up Ding Yumian's feelings herself!
