"I'll let you know if she is or not." The demon smiled wickedly and quickly tried to move into Bei Ming Haotian's body.
At the critical moment, Nangong Ziyan quickly grabbed Beiming Haotian and his arm.
The spirit demon's body was thrown back, and Nangong Ziyan stared at the spirit demon with a gloomy expression.
"I will not let Haotian become your puppet."
"Yan'er, are you alright?"
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan with excitement. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he felt a little better.
"Haotian, Yan'er is fine, don't worry too much."
Nangong Ziyan gently comforted him, thankful that she had arrived in time; if she had been a step later, she didn't know what the consequences would have been...
“You…” The spirit demon looked at Nangong Ziyan with a puzzled expression.
“Spirit Demon, I am Nangong Ziyan, but I am not Zi Shu Reborn. You don’t need to be too happy. And Haotian is not you either. You two have different half-spirits, so I will not let you enter Haotian’s body.”
Nangong Ziyan said sternly.
"Yan'er, what's going on?" Bei Ming Haotian was completely baffled.
“How could it not be? Ask him if he’s familiar with everything here. If he sees the ice coffin behind Qingluan, he’ll remember everything. He’ll remember how you were forced to your death, how Wuguzi treated us, and how the world treated us. Yan’er, you’ve been reborn. Even if you can’t remember everything from before, or the hatred between us, at least remember the affection between us!” The spirit demon looked at Nangong Ziyan in disbelief. Their appearances were completely different, and her eyes were filled with terror, her whole body overflowing with fear.
"Lingmo, you're wrong. I'm really not her. The Zishu you've been hoping for to be reborn has actually been by your side all along," Nangong Ziyan said sadly. That woman, Zishu, had actually been with him here for so long, and he hadn't even noticed.
"What did you say? I was the one who placed her in the ice coffin. She's right here, with me, but she's just a cold, lifeless corpse. And you are her rebirth."
The spirit demon spoke with some hesitation.
"No, she didn't choose the path of rebirth, but chose to stay here with you forever. It's just that you haven't seen her yet. And you, for your own selfish reasons, actually let your half-spirit enter the body of the unborn Haotian. You are incorrigible. Your selfishness has created two more devils in the world. One more is enough. Why did you have to harm Haotian?"
The angry shouts carried strong complaints and accusations, while the painful cries pierced Bei Ming Haotian's heart.
"Yan'er...?"
"You're lying...!"
"Zixuan, she wasn't lying. I was in Shuhua Palace, but you never went in to see me even once." A woman's voice was plaintive and heartbroken, filled with longing.
Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian turned around and saw a woman dressed in a white dress with no hair ornaments and her hair down.
The person Nangong Ziyan just saw was Zishu. After Zishu told her the truth, she rushed here in a hurry.
"Shu'er, is it really you? You're not...?" The spirit demon was somewhat incredulous. She had actually missed the best opportunity to stay in this ancient tomb with him as a wisp of her soul.
"Zixuan, things have come to this, so let go of the hatred in your heart! When will this cycle of revenge end? There is no place for evil in this world, so why don't we stay here forever and enjoy our own little world together?"
"Shu'er, you've been inside the whole time, why didn't you come to see me?"
“My true form was sealed in Shuhua Palace by you, and you never went to Shuhua Palace. So, by some twist of fate, we missed each other for so many years.” Zi Shu lowered her eyes, her face full of sadness and sorrow.
"What?" The spirit demon took a few steps back, somewhat agitated, and said painfully, "Shu'er, it's not that I don't want to see you, but that I dare not. Seeing your motionless body and lifeless face, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it...!"
"Zixuan, now it's all good. We can be together from now on. But you have to promise me that you will never leave the Ancient Tomb. You have already planted a demon in the mortal world. You can't go to the mortal world anymore. If you don't promise me, then this is the last time we will meet."
Zi Shu was heartbroken. She had meticulously planned for so many years, all for this day.
"Okay! Zishu, I promise you, I promise you." Lingmo said hurriedly with a look of assurance. Wasn't he living in such darkness just so that one day he could see her again?
"Fine! This is the last time I'll trust you."
"This is the last time I'll trust you?" Nangong Ziyan was speechless. Was this spirit demon really that hard to trust?
"Yan'er, there is a reason for your birth. It was all arranged by someone. Wuguzi is Zixuan's master, but he is wicked. Zixuan's transformation into a demon was caused by him. So, after you leave, please be careful of him. He has been looking for the location of Shennong Realm. He has a big conspiracy. After you leave, you must find out what his conspiracy is."
"Could all of this be Wuguzi's conspiracy?" Nangong Ziyan was somewhat incredulous. Wouldn't this person's cultivation be unmatched? No wonder Baili Yuechan thought of going to find the Shennong Scripture; he must have been instructed by Wuguzi.
Bei Ming Haotian also frowned deeply. All of this was too unbelievable, and he was one of the victims.
"I can't be sure about that either. What I can be sure of now is that he has been looking for Zixuan. He wanted to push Zixuan into an abyss of no return. But by some twist of fate, or perhaps by destiny, Zixuan had a backup plan. He sent half of his spirit to the mortal world, just to seek revenge after being reborn. That's why Haotian is somewhat familiar with the mechanisms here. You can say that you are two different people, but you share the same soul."
