Ye Qingcang was able to sit Jing Jing to the side and watch the show.

The Silver Dragon King, however, could not.

She can ignore Xiao Wu.

You can also ignore that soul.

But we can't ignore the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

If she were given another chance, even if breaking through would worsen her injuries, she would order Di Tian to kill Tang San, or even do it herself, to eliminate any future troubles. As long as Tang San is dead, this troublesome situation can be nipped in the bud.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

She has no choice but to face reality.

Even though this reality was one she didn't want to face. "Stop crying, everyone. Let's talk about the actual situation... The Auspicious Beast carries the fortune of my Soul Beast Clan. Re-splitting the soul is out of the question for now. Apart from the Five Great God Kings of the first generation, no one else can withstand the backlash of the Soul Beast Clan's fortune. There are currently two solutions: The first is for me to heal my injuries. My strength is on par with the Five Great God Kings of the first generation, and I can withstand the fortune of the Soul Beast Clan and separate my soul again; the second is to transform into human form, and in the process of transformation, naturally separate the soul in twin form."

"No, there's another way!" Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu, was quite agitated, speaking without thinking. "I have a good relationship with the Life Goddess of Life Goddess, and she likes Xiao Qi very much. Although the Destruction God doesn't get along with that beast, he also likes Xiao Qi... I can ask the Life Goddess to intervene, have her divide Xiao Qi's soul, and then create a new body for her!"

"Without a doubt, this is a method that the Silver Dragon King would never agree to."

"You just mentioned that the Life Goddess and Xiao Qi have a good relationship. Is it possible that the Life Goddess might side with Xiao Qi at crucial moments and do something unfair?"

"For example: cut off a portion of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul and integrate it into Xiao Qi's body to repair the various aftereffects caused by the incompleteness of Xiao Qi's soul after Tang San cut it apart?"

"For example: plant a seed of suggestion in the soul of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and after returning to the Divine Realm, establish a connection to continuously divert the fortune of the Soul Beast Clan, thus weakening the Soul Beast Clan?"

"By then, even if the Silver Dragon King discovers it, what can she do?"

"The soul of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is in someone else's hands."

"We can't win."

"No, we wouldn't dare to steal it."

"The decision-making power changed hands directly."

"In the end, it's nothing more than changing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's master. It went from being a dog in Tang San's hands to a dog in the hands of an unknown mastermind... Of course, you can deny my unfounded speculation, but you can't deny that among the thousands of possibilities involved, this one truly exists!"

"The Silver Dragon King can't afford to gamble!"

Ye Qingcang took off his headphones to help the Silver Dragon King out of the predicament.

Everyone has a weakness.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the Silver Dragon King's Achilles' heel.

The Silver Dragon King is now in a dilemma, afraid to act rashly.

We can't delay any longer, but we can't solve the problem yet.

"That's why I proposed the second method, which is twin transformation." The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl sighed deeply. The thought of the cost of the second method made her heart bleed. "The drawback of twin transformation is that it divides the fortune equally again. In addition, it will be accompanied by congenital defects after transformation... The only advantage is that the two souls will no longer be related, and they will be separated naturally without any artificial bias."

"I choose the second option!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shouted.

"I choose the second option!" Xiao Qi shouted back.

The two voices overlapped.

Clearly, the second proposal is more popular.

Moreover, after arguing for a long time, they all understood the cause and course of events. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion pitied Xiao Qi because Xiao Qi had a father like Tang San, while Xiao Qi also pitied the Three-Eyed Golden Lion because the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had lost half of his soul, while her other half of her soul was in the Clear Sky Sect, at least it wasn't lost. Although the soul can be slowly nurtured, everyone is used to the original.

Out of mutual pity, they were willing to let each other go in this state.

The pain was real.

But we still have to keep going.

"Then let's choose the second option!" Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu, made her decision decisively. This is the biggest difference between humanity and animality. If Xiao Wu were primarily driven by animality, like the Xiao Wu Ye Qingcang had conquered, she would be completely loyal to Ye Qingcang. Faced with the same situation, the animalistic Xiao Wu would definitely choose to believe Ye Qingcang, even if it meant abandoning her child. However, the human-driven Xiao Wu, although a virtuous wife and loving mother, had lost her former wildness and untamed nature, but her way of thinking had begun to lean towards that of humans. In human thinking, children are often more important than partners, with only a few exceptions.

"See, the problem is solved, isn't it?" Ye Qingcang eased the tension, then looked at Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu: "Let me introduce myself. I am Ye Qingcang, from another world..."

"You're Ye Qingcang?" Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu, didn't react immediately upon hearing the name, but upon hearing "another world," she suddenly realized and exclaimed involuntarily, "You're Ye Qingcang, the Asura God Test Taker that beast wanted to kill, and also another me... my chosen boyfriend?"

"I am Ye Qingcang, but I am not the other boyfriend you chose." Ye Qingcang was not the kind of person who would be fooled by a title and lose his bearings. He clearly distinguished himself. "Perhaps in the eyes of the other Tang San, I am indeed the one who stole Xiao Wu, but you must understand that... the other you is not an object, but a sentient being with feelings and righteousness. She chose how to walk her own path in the future, and the decision-making power is always in her hands."

"Alright..." Ye Qingcang, clad in the Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu, wasn't particularly concerned about her other self. Ye Qingcang's survival was the biggest variable in itself, and her other self had better judgment than her own; she should be worried about herself. "Anyway, none of that matters. What matters is why you're here, and what you want to do by leading me here?"

"I'd like to get to know you and become friends."

"Because we have a common enemy."

"And there's more than one."

Ye Qingcang stretched out his hand, smiling, and placed another bet. "Could it be that simply killing Tang San would satisfy you?"

"Of course not." Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu's face visibly darkened as she looked at Ye Qingcang's outstretched hand. A series of complex thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she went completely mad. "I'll make that beast feel excruciating pain too!"

Seeing Xiao Wu firmly holding Ye Qingcang's hand.

Watching Xiao Wu take the Jade Seal Machine from Ye Qingcang's hand.

Watching Xiao Wu transform into a red light and fly towards the Clear Sky Sect.

Silently, the Silver Dragon King stuffed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Qi's (whose soul was difficult to define) back into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body.

Then, her purple eyes shifted slightly.

His gaze fell on Ye Qingcang.

"It seems our enemy is not only insane, but also incredibly foolish—foolish enough to expose their weakness to their opponent." The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl gracefully tore open a candy wrapper, popped the gummies into her lips, and said, "What do you mean, what should I do when I suddenly want to invest more in you again...?"
