"What? You have to take responsibility just for a kiss?" Shi Miao was shocked. "That was just an accident that no one wanted to happen."

"I was drugged at the time, and in order to protect myself, I unleashed some power that I couldn't control. My soul was out of control at the time. You should also know that your soul and physique are very special... For me at the time, it was an irresistible healing product." Shi Miao felt that this matter must be explained clearly.

"No matter what the truth is, it is a fact that you kissed me forcibly, so you have to take responsibility." Ji Jingyao said coldly, but his earlobe turned red unconsciously.

"There is a rule in the Wenshi Sect that requires one to maintain the purity of both soul and body during cultivation. So, you either have to be responsible to me or stay with me. You choose one."

Shi Miao laughed in anger. Was there any difference between the two choices? She knew that some sects' cultivation required maintaining a pure yang body, but there weren't any techniques that would break the spell with just a kiss.

"I choose neither. I can use magical instruments and treasures as compensation, or I can prepare the materials myself and create a magical instrument specifically for you, or I can fulfill a request that does not violate my will or the law. Any other options are impossible."

She said it in a firm tone. What a joke! She wouldn't get herself involved.

"What if I forced you to choose one?"

Shi Miao said firmly, "Then I would rather my soul be torn apart, or even shattered into pieces."

Anyway, her technique requires her to exchange her vitality and merits for cultivation countless times, constantly forging and tempering her body and soul. When she reaches the Yuanshen stage, her soul must be dissolved into a weapon and reborn into Nirvana.

Shi Miao was already wondering if releasing her soul early in the Foundation Establishment stage would allow her to advance dramatically. Generally speaking, releasing her soul only occurs at the Primordial Spirit stage because the soul's power is already strong enough at that point, allowing for nirvana and rebirth. For ordinary cultivators, premature release would only result in the demise of their souls. But Shi Miao was different. In her previous life, she had been a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing stage, and her soul power was immense.

Moreover, she often bought gems containing spiritual energy during this period, and she had previously collected a spiritual energy mine from the tomb, so the spiritual energy needed for the breakthrough was enough.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was a good one, and she suddenly felt itchy. It would be worthwhile to try it once to resolve this cause and effect.

She has a bit of a gambling nature in her bones, otherwise she would not have chosen the more dangerous Taigu Jue after being reborn.

Ji Jingyao watched as a look of determination flashed across the beautiful face of the girl in front of him, and the scene of Shi Miao committing suicide in a red dress unconsciously emerged in his mind. The scarlet color was so eye-catching, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand.

His original composure disappeared completely, and he subconsciously grabbed her hand, his voice was rare and fragile, "No!"

"I just lied to you."

He just wanted to scare her and charge her interest because Shi Miao had modified her memory.

Shi Miao, who was about to make a move, stopped and looked at him intently, "Fake?"

"Yes. There is no such technique." He had never practiced it either. Ji Jingyao couldn't help but hold his breath, fearing that it would be too late to explain and he would not be able to stop it.

Shi Miao felt a little regretful. Since it was fake, she had no excuse to try it.

She didn't feel anything about Ji Jingyao deliberately lying to scare her. Compared to her behavior of modifying her memory after a disagreement, Ji Jingyao's so-called revenge was extremely mild and completely inconsistent with the impression he usually gave people.

Especially since the other party actually lies and deceives people! If this gets out, people will call them OOC.

If it were Shi Miao, who was prone to holding grudges, he would definitely demand the principal and interest back, and would not let it go so easily. Thinking about it this way, he was actually quite nice.

But his reaction just now seemed a little too intense? Could it be that her words inadvertently triggered a psychological shadow deep in his heart?

Ji Jingyao lowered his eyes. He was indeed very angry after learning that his memory had been tampered with. But he always felt that Shi Miao was not the kind of person who would enjoy playing with other people's memories. The other party must have his own difficulties.

Even if you have your reasons, it's not okay to just leave a memory unanswered. Forgiving too easily makes you seem too good-tempered. What if the other person, feeling emboldened, pulls the same tactic again?

He couldn't help wanting to scare her.

In the end, he was the one who was scared.

At that moment, his intuition told him that Shi Miao was capable of committing suicide, just like her in his dream.

"You just said you were willing to make it up to me, right?"

Shi Miao nodded and said, "I brought some magical instruments and treasures today. If you like any of them, just take them."

She showed her sincerity.

"I don't need that. I just need you to promise me that you won't tamper with my memory in the future."

"Okay." Shi Miao agreed immediately.

Her eyes fell on Ji Jingyao's hand that was holding her wrist, and she signaled to him with her eyes that it was time to let go.

Ji Jingyao woke up as if from a dream, withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips.

But the tea was freshly brewed, and when he drank it suddenly, he almost burned his tongue.

I'll have cold tea next time, he thought expressionlessly.

Since the two of them had reached an agreement, the matter was considered resolved. Shi Miao was in a very happy mood and was about to leave.

"Wait……"

Ji Jingyao called her.

Shi Miao gave him a questioning look.

Ji Jingyao asked: "Your magic can see other people's memories, right?" Otherwise, how could it be modified?

Shi Miao nodded. "You want me to take action? Whose memory do you want to see?"

Ji Jingyao said: "I often have a dream about you and me."
