Feeling the youth's relaxed demeanor before him, Sun Miaoxing kindly and benevolently said, "Why not? After all, once washed, whether it's the clothes or you, you wouldn't know your Divine Soul has been cleansed, so since you don't know, how can you speak of change?"

Idealistic ecstasy... Yuchi rolled his eyes: "I think therefore I am, right?"

"Yes."

"..."

Yuchi couldn't be bothered to continue this topic. Empty platitudes were meaningless, and what use is knowing these things? With this time, wouldn't it be better to admire some beautiful women instead? Then he looked down at Qi Baiyu, this girl had fallen into a deep sleep, her Divine Soul had vanished, and now she appeared truly dead to the world.

"Many pitiable vegetative states in past lives, did they lose their Divine Souls?"

"And then one day, suddenly wake up."

"So is it possible that on some odd occasion, when someone passed away, the deceased's Divine Soul entered their body, leading to their physique awakening?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This kind of thing touches on souls and more complex matters, which isn't something that should be discussed in this current scenario. Our Qi Baiyu though, she's nice, her tender face is quite attractive, just like being drunk.

Hey, wait, why does this plot seem familiar from somewhere?

Sun Miaoxing continued to say:

"Today you're indifferent to my Heart Furnace, in the future, it'll be beyond your reach."

"Anyway, I'm telling you, I am from Medicine Master Valley. If one day you feel there's an issue with your character, then come to Medicine Master Valley to find me, and prepare all your gold and silver treasures. I'll clean your Divine Soul for a fee."

Cleanse? Yuchi stared at Sun Miaoxing: "Even a dog wouldn't wash its soul. Dirtiness is a highlight of my life."

Oh, such a stubborn mouth, are you a duck or something? Sun Miaoxing insisted firmly: "Kid, don't be so definitive. Someday you might come crying to me, having said you've killed countless innocents, looking all tragic, as tragic as can be."

People with red destinies are like this, they can suddenly explode due to some issue, then it's a river of blood and bone, very tragic. Thinking back to such times in his own life, there's no way Yuchi could be an exception.

This is impossible, eh?

Is that so? Yuchi, holding Qi Baiyu, said speechlessly: "This is a comedy, not peddling sorrow."

Sun Miaoxing: "..."

"Is that so?!"

"Yeah, didn't the crew tell you?"

Sun Miaoxing: "..."

Then covering up the awkwardness with a smile, he indeed didn't know this was a comedy. He thought his role was to lead the tragedy, and was quite happy about it. But since it's like this, he chuckled and signaled slightly with his eyes towards a little girl decocting medicine not far away:

"She's my apprentice, not bad, right?"

"She is destined, a golden fate, born as a Celestial Being, extraordinarily lucky, don't you envy that? You don't have such a disciple."

Is that so? Shanlan came out to show this old guy what a child of destiny truly is.

"Old man, you just haven't seen enough people, I admit your disciple is good, I also admit your disciple is a child of destiny, but for my disciple, destiny is her child."

Oh my, you cheeky brat, Sun Miaoxing puffed his beard and glared, just about to speak, Yuchi suddenly said: "If you don't believe it, then let your disciple follow me for a while and see if she still stays by your side afterward?"

Sun Miaoxing looked Yuchi up and down: "I suspect you're up to something, but I have no concrete evidence."

And in the middle of their banter, Ximen Baojian, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes. Accompanied by a deep breath, he sat up on the bamboo bed, looking bewildered.

Then, when memories began to reconnect, his gaze instantly filled with fear: "Where is the Fungi Person? Wasn't I eaten by it? How am I still alive? And what happened to Lord Qi? Why is she still in your arms, hasn't she woken up? Could you cover her with a blanket so she doesn't freeze?"

Upon waking, he was bombarded with a series of questions.

Yuchi: "..."

Heavens, just like what Sun Miaoxing said, Ximen Baojian has woken up, with Qi Baiyu's Divine Soul mingled into his memories, turning him into Ximen Baojian. However, because of Qi Baiyu's Divine Soul interference, Ximen Baojian's speech now sounds quite effeminate.

There's a heavy nasal tone, a bit of a whiny voice, speaking in a pinched way. Even the same words sound like they come from two different people. Critically, Ximen Baojian doesn't even realize something's off. He thinks there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, except when recalling his own actions — then he feels a bit nauseous.

Suddenly, a mind-blowing statement was heard by everyone: "Ah! Why am I imagining Yuchi and Lord Qi together in such intimate scenes, why would I want to hide nearby and watch, how could I harbor such sinful thoughts? I'm impure, I'm impure!"
