Under Qiao Di and Little Pear's strict defense, three days passed quickly, and it was finally time for Shangguan Li to return to Douluo Continent.
Yet just in such a fortunate circumstance, Little Pear's expression grew increasingly grave because he had let his guard down slightly while opening the tunnel, which resulted in his failure to return successfully.
Qiao Di clearly had not relaxed either, and Shangguan Li said, "Qiao Di, you wait here first. We will summon you immediately after we get back."
Qiao Di nodded, and Little Pear whispered to Qiao Di, "You should be able to return here in a little while, but I still want you to leave a mark here and make sure to stop Elder Sister from coming to this world again."
Qiao Di said solemnly, "I know, but if Miss really wants to come, wouldn't we be unable to stop her?"
"I know Elder Sister is a kind-hearted person, but this world is simply too dangerous. Even the gods of Douluo Continent cannot stand against the King in this world. Because the levels of energy differ, Douluo Continent is at a lower plane. Even though Elder Sister's strength is very strong now, the bloodline within her is simply too special, and I'm afraid..."
The two of them had contracts with Shangguan Li and knew very well about the secret within Shangguan Li that even she herself did not know, which was Shangguan Li's special bloodline.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Li did not listen to the conversation between the two of them, concentrating instead on opening the Spacetime Tunnel.
After just a moment, Shangguan Li successfully opened the Spacetime Tunnel, and Little Pear hurried to Shangguan Li's side. "Elder Sister, let's hurry up and leave, or it will be too late."
Shangguan Li glanced at Qiao Di. "A'Qiao, you wait here for a moment."
"I know, Miss. You guys hurry up and go."
Accompanied by Qiao Di's urging, the two of them quickly ran into the Spacetime Tunnel. Without Qiao Di, Shangguan Li, or Little Pear noticing, a golden speck of light also followed them into the Spacetime Tunnel.
Just like when they came, because of Shaohua's attraction on Douluo Continent, they quickly found their location.
Once Shangguan Li emerged, Shaohua hugged her. "You're finally back. Do you know I've been waiting for you here for half a year?"
"Half a year?" Shangguan Li knew the time flow between the two spacetimes was different, but she hadn't expected that while only three days had passed on the other side, half a year had already gone by here.
Shaohua nodded, and Yun Ming and Ya Li also came out of the house. "A'Li, you're finally back."
"Father, Mother, I'm back. I only spent three days over there. I wonder if Grandfather has asked about me?" Yun Ming, Ya Li, and Shaohua all knew she had gone to another world, but Shangguan Lin did not.
Ya Li shook her head. "We didn't tell Father, saying you were in seclusion, so..."
Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that Grandfather doesn't know. Right, Qiao Di is still on that continent." After a moment, a black magic array appeared before Shangguan Li, and Qiao Di arrived right along with it.
"By the way, did anything happen during the period I left Douluo Continent?"
"Yes, Ning Rongrong, who shares the same father and mother as you, is in a somewhat strange state." Shaohua thought for a moment and slowly recounted.
"Ning Rongrong?" This person actually surprised Shangguan Li quite a bit. What kind of trouble could a little princess get into?
Shaohua said, "I haven't seen Li Pei, but didn't you say before that the source of the resentment in Heaven Dou City was her? The aura emanating from Ning Rongrong now is about the same as that resentment."
"That's impossible. Li Pei was chosen by the Rakshasa God to burst out with so much resentment, whereas Ning Rongrong can only cultivate up to a Spirit Saint. Why would the Rakshasa God choose him?"
"I don't know, but the aura on Ning Rongrong is undoubtedly that."
Shangguan Li fell into deep thought, never expecting Ning Rongrong to have been chosen by the Rakshasa God. Would Ning Rongrong feel resentment because she killed Li Pei? They weren't exactly good friends.
Moreover, judging from Ning Rongrong herself, she simply had nothing worthy of generating resentment: a good family, a good background, and in terms of romance, she even had Tang San-the man she loved-as her fiancé.
Shaohua seemed to know Shangguan Li's doubt. "According to my sources, Ning Rongrong's personality has been erratic lately. Sometimes she just sits in the room, and sometimes she comes out to play every day without any time for cultivation at all, yet she is already at level 60 now."
"Are you suspecting that Ning Rongrong has embarked on the path of an Evil Soul Master? Impossible, impossible, Ning Fengzhi would not ruin Ning Rongrong." Shangguan Li self-negated the thought as soon as she had it. Even if Ning Fengzhi valued the sect so much that he might do something like sacrificing Ning Rongrong to gain imperial power, he would never let her walk the path of an Evil Soul Master despised by the entire continent.
Shaohua also nodded. "I know what's on your mind, but I also observed Ning Rongrong for a few days and found that she hasn't used the cultivation methods of an Evil Soul Master at all. Yet her Soul Power still grew automatically, and her soul seems wrong."
"A soul?"
Shaohua nodded. "I suspect Li Pei's soul might have ended up on Ning Rongrong, and coupled with the support of the Rakshasa God, Li Pei might just be Ning Rongrong now."
"Even that's possible? Why would Li Pei choose Ning Rongrong's body? Wouldn't it be better to choose someone else's body?" Shangguan Li found it very hard to understand. Since Li Pei finally had the chance to possess someone else's body, why would she choose a Ning Rongrong who could only cultivate to a Spirit Saint?
"Who knows? Do you want to go see her with me now?" Shaohua pointed toward the main street of Heaven Dou City.
Shangguan Li nodded; she was far too interested in this kind of abnormal Ning Rongrong.
Soon, the two of them arrived on the main street of Heaven Dou City. Because their appearances were striking, appearing normally on the street would draw the gaze of the crowd. Therefore, this trip out intentionally utilized a Simulation Soul Skill to conceal their appearances and auras.
After just a moment, Ning Rongrong appeared, and Shangguan Li also used her Head Soul Bone, wanting to see what changes Ning Rongrong actually underwent.
It was truly shocking upon inspection: Shangguan Li saw that there were actually two souls inside Ning Rongrong's body. Although one person's soul was floating mid-air, its connection to Ning Rongrong's body was substantial.
Shaohua asked, "How is it? What on earth is the situation? Hurry and tell me."
"The one controlling this body right now should be Ning Rongrong herself, and the one floating in the air should be Li Pei, but I simply cannot tell clearly which one of them is which because their souls are both surrounded by the aura of the Rakshasa God. Furthermore, the two of them are right in the middle of a struggle, which is a fight for the sole dominance of this body."
"Their struggle also seems to involve soul-on-soul combat, seemingly of the kind where the loser is absorbed by the winner, but I also feel it's not that simple."
