Ji Yuan was naturally at ease with Tu Yue becoming his artifact spirit.
For him, it was also the most reliable, safest solution.
Not only did he know her inside out, but even with her own consciousness, she recognized him as her master. She would never betray him.
With an artifact spirit, the power of my Life-bound Dharma Treasure will soar. If Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain and the Azure Waves Sword were once evenly matched, Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain will now far surpass the sword.
Once I form my Nascent Soul, I can use Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain as a trump card to pin down my opponent, then finish them with the Azure Waves Sword.
Ji Yuan also needed someone to manage the many buildings within Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain. Tu Yue had done the work before, but she had been unconscious then, so he had needed to arrange everything himself.
But Tu Yue was different now.
Watching Tu Yue gradually steady herself in his arms, Ji Yuan could not resist teasing her. "Do you still need me to show you around Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain?"
Belatedly realizing where she was, Tu Yue hurriedly pulled free of his embrace. Her pretty face reddened. "N-no need. I know Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain better than anyone."
"Oh?"
Ji Yuan looked at her curiously. "Do you remember everything from before?"
Tu Yue thought back carefully for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Yes!"
"What about your life before that—back when you were still alive? Do you remember it?"
That was what Ji Yuan was curious about.
Tu Yue knitted her delicate brows. After thinking for some time, she said hesitantly, "I think I can remember a little, but I can't put it into words. Perhaps I'll remember if I return somewhere familiar."
"Then never mind."
Ji Yuan was merely curious.
