Chapter 302

"That old hag is the Joyful Union Dao One of the Six Paths of Demonic Ways in the Southern Wilderness, and her disciple is the Silver Gourd Demon King who was killed by the Immortal Sister."

"She came to the Eastern Pole to seek revenge on the Fairy Sister, but she couldn't find any trace of her. Instead, she unexpectedly encountered us sisters and decided to kidnap us."

"... After I was captured and taken to the Southern Wilderness, the old hag said I had the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body, a constitution born to be exploited..."

"She said she wanted to nurture me into a human-shaped furnace, a Human Body Great Medicine, and then offer me to the Demon Emperor once I was fully grown."

She recounted her experiences over the years in fits and starts.

"Fortunately, I later showed extraordinary talent, and she probably felt it was a waste to use me as a furnace, so she decided to train me."

"However, later on, Ren Wuqing, the Red Dust Path Holy Son, gradually began to show his talent. The old hag believed that she had the potential to become an emperor, so she wanted to arrange a marriage between me and Ren Wuqing."

After a period of calming down, Luo Qianrui's emotions gradually stabilized, and her voice no longer trembled.

"Fairy Sister, I was able to come to the Eastern Pole this time thanks to Ren Wuqing, the Holy Son of the Red Dust Path."

She continued, "Ren Wuqing is an arrogant and conceited person. He thought I was completely beyond his control. I only mentioned it briefly, and he actually agreed to bring me to the Eastern Pole, which gave me the opportunity to see the fairy sister again."

After listening to her story, Xiao Minghuang gently reached out and wiped away the tears from her face.

"Xiao Rui, you've suffered so much these past years."

"Fairy Sister, that's nothing, it's all in the past."

Luo Qianrui shook her head slightly, a smile forcing a smile onto her pretty face, which still bore traces of tears.

Her expression made Xiao Minghuang feel even more sorry for her, and he secretly vowed to do his best to protect Luo Qianrui.

"Although it's a bit late, I now want to fulfill my promise. Will you stay by my side and cultivate together from now on?"

She asked softly, her gaze lingering tenderly on Luo Qianrui.

"Mmm-hmm!" Luo Qianrui was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded. "Thank you, Fairy Sister!"

She nestled obediently in her arms, curled up like a kitten.

She was overjoyed because she could finally be with Xiao Minghuang again and never be separated again.

The two embraced for a long time before slowly separating, holding each other's hands and moving forward.

"Fairy Sister..."

Luo Qianrui suddenly stopped and called out softly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Minghuang turned around and said with a smile, "By the way, please stop calling me Fairy Sister. I'm not a fairy!"

She blinked, looking quite playful.

"Huh?" Luo Qianrui had never seen Xiao Minghuang so lively before, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

In her memory, Xiao Minghuang was noble and elegant, aloof and arrogant, and domineering and imposing, but she had never been so lively and adorable.

"Ah..." Luo Qianrui's mouth was agape, her face full of shock.

Don't be so surprised!

As they spoke, Xiao Minghuang unexpectedly reached out her delicate hand and placed it directly over her red lips, covering them.

"Mmm~!" Luo Qianrui's delicate body trembled slightly, and she felt a tingling sensation in her chest. Her legs went weak, and her cheeks flushed with a blush.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but chuckle.

"You silly girl!"

She spoke softly, her fingertips lightly touching Luo Qianrui's delicate nose.

"No... no, I didn't... I was just surprised by your change..."

Luo Qianrui lowered her head, her voice barely audible, like a wronged child speaking weakly.

A moment later, she looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Minghuang.

"Then... then I'll call you... Your Highness, just like the other ladies, okay?"

She asked tentatively.

This name seems rather ordinary.

Although Xiao Minghuang has been away from the Xia Kingdom for many years, she is still a princess of the Xia Kingdom, and it is only natural for her to be addressed as Your Highness.

However, since leaving the Xia Kingdom, apart from Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and Xu Xiuer, everyone else, whether familiar or unfamiliar, calls her "Princess Xiao" or simply "Princess".

The title "Your Highness" gradually became the exclusive title for Ye Lin and Xu San Nu.

Xiao Minghuang didn't know if Luo Qianrui had considered this point, but in any case, she accepted it.

"Since you like it, then so be it!" She smiled faintly, appearing very calm and composed.

She took Luo Qianrui's hand and continued strolling forward.

"... Your Highness, there's something else I forgot to tell you." Luo Qianrui bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"What's up?"

Xiao Minghuang turned to look at her and asked gently.

"Your Highness still remembers that I was able to come to the Eastern Pole because of Ren Wuqing's arrogance, but I did not come to the Eastern Pole unscathed."

Luo Qianrui clenched her jade-like hands tightly, seemingly extremely nervous, her beautiful eyes filled with unease.

394. One Body, Two Souls

"Before I left the Southern Wilderness, the Supreme Hehuan forcibly separated my Primordial Spirit from my body and proposed to take my sister back to the Southern Wilderness with me on this trip."

Upon hearing Luo Qianrui mention her older sister, Luo Qianhua, Xiao Minghuang felt a pang of guilt. She had encountered so many things along the way that she had completely forgotten about Luo Qianhua.

"Na Luomeng... Where is Qianhua? Have you ever met her?"

Xiao Minghuang asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianrui remained silent for a moment, then raised her pretty face to meet her gaze, without replying.

Staring at this pretty face that was exactly the same as Luo Qianhua's, with no difference between them, Xiao Minghuang was stunned.

A strange thought suddenly came to mind.

What Xu Xiuer just said might not be untrue.

Indeed, a demon has possessed Luo Qianhua's body.

This evil spirit is none other than Luo Qianrui, the twin sister of Luo Qianhua, Witch from the Southern Wilderness and Joyful Union Dao!

Seeing Xiao Minghuang's rapidly changing expression, Luo Qianrui's pretty face showed a look of bitterness. She took a deep breath and explained:

"When I arrived at the Eastern Pole, my sister had already been captured by Ren Wuqing. He locked my Primordial Spirit and true essence into my sister's body, allowing me to possess her body..."

"What?!" Xiao Minghuang's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with shock, and he interrupted her in disbelief.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

"You mean, Qianhua has... met with some misfortune?"

Xiao Minghuang asked, trembling.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianrui's expression changed, and she hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you've misunderstood! My sister isn't dead!"

Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

Luo Qianrui kept her head down and did not respond.

After waiting a moment, seeing that Luo Qianrui had no reaction, she patted her on the shoulder.

However, this gentle tap caused Luo Qianrui to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Xiao Minghuang quickly helped her up, then sat down on the spot and held her in his arms.

"Hmm~~"

A soft moan escaped her lips, and Luo Qianrui slowly raised her head, her gaze towards Xiao Minghuang filled with confusion.

"Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was slightly taken aback and looked at the person in his arms.

Compared to before, although the body is exactly the same and the appearance is identical, the demeanor, spirit, and temperament are extremely different.

"... Alliance Leader Luo?"

Xiao Minghuang asked tentatively.

"... here it is?"

Luo Qianrui... no, the one currently occupying this body is none other than Luo Qianhua herself.

She murmured softly, turned her gaze, and suddenly realized that she was being held in Xiao Minghuang's arms. A blush immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she quickly broke free from Xiao Minghuang's embrace and stood up.

Seeing the shy and flustered Luo Qianhua, Xiao Minghuang also stood up, a hint of helplessness on his face.

These two sisters really left her unsure how to deal with them.

Luo Qianrui took over Luo Qianhua's body and traveled with her through another time and space. Her karma intersected with that of another time and space, and she became tainted by the karma of that time and space. Therefore, she knew about those non-existent past events and remembered them as if they were real experiences.

Luo Qianhua was completely unaware of everything that happened in the alternate dimension.

In her memory, she and Xiao Minghuang had just reconciled.

"Do you remember anything?"

Xiao Minghuang asked gently.

Luo Qianhua looked bewildered. After a moment of thought, she slowly said, "I had arranged to come to the ancient tomb with the princess, but I was about to break through to the King Realm, so I was delayed for a few days."

"Hmm." Xiao Minghuang nodded. She had indeed contacted Luo Qianhua before setting off, and the other party told her that she had reached a critical juncture in her breakthrough and that she should not wait any longer.

"Later, I successfully broke through to the King Realm and came to Dongling alone, but on the way..."

She paused abruptly, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes, which she quickly concealed.

On her way to Dongling, she received a message from Ren Wuqing, the Red Dust Path Holy Son Mortal Path, instructing her to go and meet up with the demons who had infiltrated the Eastern Pole.

Unexpectedly, she was knocked unconscious as soon as they met, and afterwards she would be sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and each time she woke up she was in a different place.

It wasn't until later, when Luo Qianrui took the initiative to communicate with her, that she learned that her younger sister had taken over her body and was planning something wicked in the ancient tomb.

"N-nothing..."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, about to say something.

At this moment, another slightly sweet voice suddenly emanated from Luo Qianhua's body.

"Sister, stop pretending. Don't hide it from Her Highness; she knows everything."

The sound caused Luo Qianhua's delicate body to stiffen slightly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Minghuang with disbelief in her gaze.

"... Princess?"

"Indeed." Xiao Minghuang nodded. "Before, due to some coincidences, Xiao Rui and I traveled back to your childhood, and some things happened there."

"This... this..." Luo Qianhua was completely stunned. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She said bitterly, "I... my true identity is actually the Joyful Union Saintess Joyful Union Dao. I lied to the princess. I'm so sorry, princess..."

"It's nothing." Xiao Minghuang gently shook her head. "I know you were forced by the Supreme Hehuan to cultivate evil arts by using Xiaorui as leverage. This is not your fault."

Xiao Minghuang sighed, extended her slender fingertips, and gently stroked Luo Qianhua's fair and smooth forehead, her eyes filled with pity.

Luo Qianhua lowered her head, her eyes reddening, and murmured softly, "Although I have cultivated evil arts, I have never used them in all these years, much less harmed anyone..."

"Wouldn't that be even better?" Xiao Minghuang smiled and said, "That was not what you wanted. Now that Xiao Rui is back, you sisters are reunited, and you will no longer be coerced by the Supreme Union of Union. Everyone is happy!"

"Um!"

Luo Qianhua nodded. She wouldn't be unwilling to share a body with her younger sister.

"Sister, please don't get agitated. It's probably not that simple," Luo Qianrui suddenly said. "Your Highness, my possession of your body in my Primordial Spirit form is not a long-term solution."

"We are twin sisters, and both possess the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body. We have a strong centripetal force between us. If we share a body for a long time, our true spirits will gradually overlap, and we may even merge into one!"

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Minghuang and Luo Qianhua were startled.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the two sisters will become one, merging from two different people into a new one?!

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

"Then... what should we do?" Luo Qianhua was completely at a loss and unconsciously relied on Xiao Minghuang and her younger sister.
