Chapter 303

395. It's all my sister's fault!

After all, Xiao Minghuang was the person she admired most, and the one who rescued her from the darkness.

Luo Qianrui was her only family in this world.

"My body was left in the Southern Wilderness by the Supreme Hehuan. If I can return to the Southern Wilderness and retrieve my body, the problem will naturally be solved."

Luo Qianrui said.

"..."

Luo Qianhua immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "Xiao Rui, don't joke around. You finally escaped the Southern Wilderness, how can you go back!"

She subconsciously looked at Xiao Minghuang, her beautiful eyes revealing a pleading look.

Xiao Minghuang was silent for a few seconds, then gently patted her shoulder and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, now that I've found you sisters, I won't let you be separated, and I certainly won't let Xiao Rui go back to the Southern Wilderness!"

She took a deep breath and continued, "How about this, I'll collect some rare treasures to reshape a physical body for Xiaorui. Let's arrange it this way for now, and retrieve Xiaorui's body when the opportunity arises later."

Luo Qianhua hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is the only way now."

Luo Qianrui remained silent, tacitly accepting this solution.

A body crafted from rare and precious materials is not only inferior to the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body, but it is probably not even as good as an ordinary mortal body.

No matter how weak or ordinary a living being's original body may be, it is created by nature, possessing an Innate Qi. This is not due to the parents' conception, but rather a gift from the Great Dao, a unique opportunity and blessing bestowed upon each living being by Heaven, without exception.

However, a body formed using rare and precious materials or other treasures will lack this Innate Qi. After the Primordial Spirit resides in it, it may appear no different from an ordinary living being.

However, within the framework of the Great Dao's rules, without this Innate Qi unique to living beings, one is merely a collection of countless rare and precious materials, not a single living being.

Therefore, any non-original body cannot communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. No matter how outstanding one's comprehension is, one cannot comprehend the Great Dao, thus cannot respond to Heaven and Earth, harmonize with the Dao, and thus cannot enter the realm of Longevity Saint.

Therefore, this is only a temporary measure. When the opportunity arises in the future, Xiao Minghuang will eventually have to find a way to get Luo Qianrui's body back.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before I help Xiaorui get her body back!"

Xiao Minghuang looked at Luo Qianhua and Luo Qianrui inside her body, and solemnly made a promise.

"Your Highness... thank you..." Luo Qianrui's voice was low, with a slight sob in it.

"Thank you, Princess. I will remember this forever!" Luo Qianhua Qianhua deeply.

"Fool."

Xiao Minghuang gently patted Luo Qianhua's head, a slight smile curving his lips.

Feeling the warm, gentle caress on her head, Luo Qianhua's face flushed slightly, but she did not flinch.

Judging from Xiao Minghuang's attitude towards her, or rather, towards her own younger sister, it was clear that her sister had secretly done something while she was away.

"Perhaps this is a good opportunity..."

Previously, she had tried countless times to find opportunities to get closer to Xiao Minghuang, but no matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she was looking in the wrong direction. Not only did she fail to improve the relationship, but she even had the opposite effect.

Now that she and her sister share a body, and her sister has clearly developed a close relationship with Xiao Minghuang, it would be foolish of her not to make good use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

But before taking any action, she needed to discuss it with her sister to avoid any mishaps or unintended consequences.

Xiao Minghuang was completely unaware of Luo Qianhua's schemes.

"We've been away for so long, it's time to go back."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianhua nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Minghuang stepped out.

Seeing this, Luo Qianhua stirred, and she immediately took a step to follow, walking alongside her and quietly taking her hand.

"... Your Highness, will... will those older sisters accept me?"

Luo Qianhua asked nervously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang paused for a moment, turned to look at her, and after a brief examination, discovered that the owner of this body had now changed to her younger sister, Luo Qianrui.

"You don't need to worry too much, I'll take care of everything."

Xiao Minghuang comforted her gently.

On her quest for immortality, she has had more than one companion, which has certainly added color to her life, but has also brought her a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, her partners were all of a relatively kind nature, so she wasn't caught in a dilemma.

Then, hand in hand, the two returned to the central palace.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing Xiao Minghuang return, Lin Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to greet him.

However, when she saw Luo Qianhua standing beside Xiao Minghuang, and their hands clasped together, Lin Wanqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she vaguely guessed what was going on.

But the next moment, a smile appeared on her face again.

"Your Highness has been gone for so long, Xiu'er was very worried about you."

Lin Wanqiu looked at Xiao Minghuang and smiled.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Xiuer knew that Xiao Minghuang had returned, and she quickly ran over.

She was blind, and although she could use her Primordial Spirit power to perceive the outside world, it was ultimately not as effective as her eyes, so she did not notice the unusual relationship between Xiao Minghuang and Luo Qianhua.

However, she could clearly sense that more than one person had returned.

The person besides Her Highness was the Witch she had just fought.

"Your Highness, this person?"

Xiao Minghuang coughed lightly and explained, "Actually, what happened before was a misunderstanding."

The events surrounding the Luo Sisters were far too complicated to explain in a few words, but in order to prevent Luo Sisters from being ostracized by others, she still gave a brief explanation.

"She is not a demon from the Southern Wilderness. She was coerced before, but she has now broken free. There's no need to worry."

After hearing her explanation, Lin Wanqiu seemed thoughtful, but she didn't doubt Xiao Minghuang. Instead, she clasped her hands in a fist salute to Luo Qianhua and said, "Alliance Leader Luo, I was truly sorry for misunderstanding you before!"

Luo Qianhua shook her head and bowed slightly, saying, "Sister Lin, what are you saying? I went astray, and it was Your Highness's rescue that allowed me to return to the right path. I should thank you!"

Upon hearing Lin Wanqiu mention the words "Alliance Leader Luo," Xu Xiuer frowned slightly. She immediately activated her Primordial Spirit power to clearly discern the description of the person in front of her, and was immediately taken aback.

"You... you are Alliance Leader Luo!"

Xu Xiuer's face immediately showed a look of shock.

"Xiu'er Xiuer, I was very rude before. It was my fault. I apologize to Xiu'er!"

Luo Qianhua bowed again, her demeanor extremely respectful.

Hearing the other person address her as "sister" with utmost respect, Xu Xiuer felt a pang of guilt and quickly apologized, saying, "Alliance Leader Luo, you're too kind. I didn't realize my mistake and acted without thinking. Please don't take it to heart!"

396. Confess

Hearing this, Luo Qianhua became even more respectful, repeatedly saying, "Xiu'er Xiuer, you're too kind. It was I who was in the wrong first, how could I blame you?"

Seeing their interaction, Xiao Minghuang felt gratified and stopped them from continuing their polite exchanges.

"Okay, okay, let's stop apologizing to each other. From now on, we're all family!"

Xiao Minghuang stretched out her hands and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"Um!"

Upon hearing Xiao Minghuang's words, Luo Qianhua and Xu Xiuer both nodded obediently.

Seeing their expressions, Xiao Minghuang finally felt relieved. Before this, she had been genuinely worried that Xu Xiuer would mind Luo Qianhua's identity.

After all, she had been ordered to serve in the Southern Wilderness, a fact that could not be concealed.

"Your Highness, it's about time we left."

At this moment, Lin Wanqiu reminded him.

"Yes, it's time to go!"

The distant void was constantly collapsing towards the center. Although the rate of expansion was not very fast, they had nothing else to do but stay here.

Besides, she has a lot to do.

She gained a lot from this trip to the ancient tomb, but she needs some time to reflect and sort out her current knowledge.

Then, the group headed towards the exit.

As everyone left, leaving only Xiao Minghuang and Xu Xiuer, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Xiuer, who was about to leave.

"Your Highness?"

Xu Xiuer turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Xiu'er, I have something to say. It wasn't convenient to talk to you earlier with everyone around, but now that it's just the two of us, I'd like to speak with you alone."

Xiao Minghuang said gently.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuer's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists tightly.

His Highness left her alone, saying that no one else should hear what he said. Could it be...?

"Your Highness, this is so sudden... I wasn't prepared at all..."

Xu Xiuer said shyly, her pretty cheeks flushed, making her look extremely beautiful.

"It's about Alliance Leader Luo."

Xiao Minghuang coughed lightly and explained.

"What... Alliance Leader Luo..."

Upon hearing that it was because of this matter, Xu Xiuer's shyness faded, replaced by a look of disappointment.

Xiao Minghuang said, "I was a bit too brief in my explanation just now. Alliance Leader Luo actually has a twin sister named Luo Qianrui. Her body is currently being shared by both sisters."

She paused for a moment at this point.

"Her younger sister was kidnapped by the Southern Wilderness Demon when she was young and grew up in the Southern Wilderness. It was because of her sister that Alliance Leader Luo was coerced and forced to cultivate evil arts."

"Her younger sister, through a series of coincidences, has escaped back to the Eastern Pole, but only her true Primordial Spirit remains; her physical body is still in the Southern Wilderness. Furthermore, because they both possess the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body and are twin sisters, therefore..."

Hearing this, Xu Xiuer roughly understood.

The blush on her face gradually faded, and she said thoughtfully, "Therefore, their true spirits are inherently very similar. If they share a body for a long time, their true spirits will become even more similar, and may even merge!"

That's what I mean.

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

"Your Highness, did you ask me for help with this matter?"

"I asked, "Xu Xiuer.

Xiao Minghuang said, "If Xiu'er has a solution to this problem, that would be wonderful. If not, we can only use rare and precious materials to create a body for Luo Qianrui first, and then retrieve her body from the Southern Wilderness when the opportunity arises in the future."

Xu Xiuer shook her head and said, "A body crafted from rare and precious materials can never compare to a natural body, and is even inferior to a body acquired through possession."

She paused, then continued, "I'm not suggesting that Alliance Leader Luo's sister should possess another body; I simply hope to maintain the status quo for now."

"The transfer of her Primordial Spirit will cause immense trauma to Alliance Leader Luo's sister, potentially resulting in permanent damage to her true spirit. Therefore, we must be extremely cautious!"

Xiao Minghuang looked at her. Since Xu Xiuer said so, there must be a solution.

"The Lesser Destiny True Scripture that my master taught me contains similar cases. His Highness asked me to study it first, and I should be able to come up with a solution in two or three days."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Xiu'er!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

With Xu Xiuer's help, she believed that the Luo Sisters' problem could definitely be resolved properly.

After all, Xu Xiuer is the disciple of the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, and the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's lineage is the most profound lineage in the entire Eastern Pole of Zhongtian when it comes to studying destiny.

After receiving the Lesser Destiny True Scripture, Xu Xiuer essentially received the complete inheritance of the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's lineage. If she cannot resolve the issue, then even if the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master himself were to intervene, he would likely be helpless.

After their conversation, Xu Xiuer remained standing in the same spot, showing no intention of leaving, and looked hesitantly at Xiao Minghuang.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

Xiao Minghuang asked gently.
