What's Wrong with Hugging Myself?

Li Baitian's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly pulled Bai Ye aside, frantically signaling with his eyes as he whispered, "Brother Little White—no, Brother Bai, you're my big brother. You can't joke about that. If Xiao Tong finds out what 169 means, she'll definitely fight you to the death."

An Xiaotong frowned deeply, though a flicker of confusion flashed through her eyes. "What are you talking about? What exactly does 169 mean?"

Li Baitian turned back and gave an awkward laugh. "N-Nothing. Brother Little White was just joking."

Bai Ye looked baffled. "Old Li, what nonsense are you spouting? I told you to look at what comes after the number."

Li Baitian froze and looked at the passage.

[God-Taboo Object, No. 169, Twin Monkey Statue... two bodies born as one... two monkey statues embracing each other... souls... containment difficulty: D...]

"Twin Monkey Statue, two bodies born as one. What's wrong with that?"

"Further down."

"Two monkey statues embracing each other."

Smack!

Bai Ye clapped his hands. "That's it! Two monkeys embracing each other! Earlier, An Xiaotong and I touched the separated monkey statues at the same time, so our souls switched.

Now the two monkeys have joined together, but An Xiaotong and I haven't. Since the known condition for a soul swap is that the people and the monkeys are both separated, then the condition for our souls to return should be that the people and the monkeys are both joined together!"

Li Baitian was stunned. It did sound somewhat reasonable. Brother Little White really was rather clever—but when his gaze fell on the two of them, he found himself in a difficult position.

Making these two imitate the monkey statues and hug each other was probably...

However, things did not develop as Li Baitian had imagined.
