Chapter 257 Merging of Two Souls
Feng Tianyu is clearly the latter, but it's not exactly easy for him. After all, given his situation, it's already quite remarkable that he's survived to this day.
Seeing that Feng Tianyu remained silent for a long time, Ye Wanxi also became nervous: "I..."
"I believe you."
Before Ye Wanxi could finish speaking, Feng Tianyu interrupted her: "I believe you, I'm just too surprised. In fact, I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be a soul."
"I was prepared for this, you..."
Feng Tianyu patted her head: "Uncle Shi and my dad are like Shi Lang and his brothers and me, they are good brothers who grew up together. Their family runs a hospital and has been practicing medicine for generations. Since I was born, they have been responsible for my physical examinations and medical treatment."
“They are among the few people my mother and I trust, but even they couldn’t find the cause of my poor health. The Bai family wasn’t the only one who had doubts about this over the years.”
It could even be said that long before the Bai family's incident, he and Feng's mother had already considered that possibility.
So what if we only have doubts? The Taoist priests and celestial masters that Madam Feng invited back were either charlatans or simply said there was nothing she could do.
Over time, they all became numb and stopped placing their hopes on it.
Until Ye Wanxi saved Bai Haoqi...
"At that time, I was thinking, Bai Haoqi was murdered by someone using dirty tricks to become like that, could I also..."
Ye Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, then whispered, "Then why didn't you ask me?"
"No need to ask."
"Um?"
Feng Tianyu pinched her cheek and said with a faint smile, "If that were really the reason, you wouldn't have kept it from me, much less not saved me. Unless... unless you were also powerless to help."
Ye Wanxi grasped his hand, her eyes slightly lowered, a hint of self-reproach in her expression.
If only she were a little more capable, she might have been able to find other senior brothers much sooner, retrieved the storage ring much sooner, and... made things easier for her eldest senior brother.
As if sensing her thoughts, Feng Tianyu smiled slightly and praised, "You're amazing. My mother invited so many people but they couldn't figure it out, but you saw it at a glance. You're much better than them."
Ye Wanxi was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed by his praise, and her droopy little tail quietly perked up again.
"That's nothing, I have something even more amazing."
"Even more powerful?"
“I have found a part of your missing soul. Although it is only a small part, as long as it is fused with your current soul, your body will recover.”
Feng Tianyu looked surprised. He thought Ye Wanxi was just telling him this to let him know, but he didn't expect that she had already found his missing soul.
"only……"
Seeing Ye Wanxi's predicament, Feng Tianyu's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand: "But what? Won't it hurt you? Or are you doing this to defy fate and peek into heavenly secrets, like before..."
Feng Tianyu's expression darkened slightly as he said this: "If that's really the case, then forget it. Anyway, I've lived like this for over twenty years. As long as I'm not dead, that's fine."
"No." Ye Wanxi didn't expect that she had only just started to make Feng Tianyu imagine so many things. Moreover, his first reaction was not to worry about whether there would be any problems with his soul fusion, but to worry about whether she would be injured as a result.
"I'll be fine. The one who might be in trouble is you."
"I?"
"This is the first time I've ever done something like soul fusion. Before this, I asked my third brother, the one we met at the auction house before..."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi mention Jun Wuduan, Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, as he instinctively felt a sense of unease towards this nominal brother-in-law, as if he were encountering someone of his own kind.
"He told me that after the soul fusion, I might experience some aftereffects, which might not be very serious, but it might take some time to adjust. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, so you..." Are you willing to believe me?
Feng Tianyu immediately guessed what Ye Wanxi had left unsaid. He smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"I believe in you. As long as it won't hurt you, I'm willing to merge my soul with yours. I want to... become well and stay with you forever."
Ye Wanxi's heart pounded, and her face flushed: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Hmm, is there anything I need to do?"
Ye Wanxi shook her head: "You don't need to do anything. The pills I gave you before were Soul Nourishing Pills, which were meant to nourish your soul so that it could withstand the impact of the soul fusion. Now your soul is solid enough. In a moment, I will inject the small piece of soul that I found back into your body. Close your eyes and don't move or open your eyes no matter what happens."
"good."
Feng Tianyu didn't ask Ye Wanxi when she found her missing soul, nor did he ask her where she found it.
His intuition told him that as long as he successfully fused the missing soul as Ye Wanxi had instructed, everything would be resolved.
Although the two were currently in their own home, to avoid anyone passing by and noticing anything amiss, Ye Wanxi still set up a barrier in the room beforehand to ensure that no one would disturb them.
After making all the preparations, Ye Wanxi had Feng Tianyu close his eyes, took out the pitted storage ring, took a deep breath, and tossed it into the air.
Their hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and in an instant, a circular magic circle was erected around the two of them in the entire room.
At this moment, the storage ring floating in mid-air also emitted a hazy white light, enveloping the top of Fengtian Domain.
Feng Tianyu, who had his eyes closed, seemed to sense something at that moment. He frowned uncomfortably, but he still remembered Ye Wanxi's instructions and did not move.
Upon seeing this, Ye Wanxi's expression changed. She hadn't expected that her senior brother's remnant soul would be so powerful.
Even after a thousand years, it still possesses self-awareness and even wants to merge with the current soul of Fengtianyu to take control.
Ye Wanxi wanted to help, but both sides were her children, and it seemed wrong to help either of them. So she could only wait and see with a heavy heart.
Ten minutes later, the tug-of-war between the main soul and the remnant soul finally came to an end. The storage ring fell from the sky and landed in Ye Wanxi's hand, returning to its previous ordinary and even somewhat ugly appearance.
Ye Wanxi tightened her grip on the ring on her hand, staring nervously at the person in front of her, and tentatively called out, "Brother?"
The person in front of me slowly opened their eyes, gradually focusing from a vacant gaze. They looked like a bottomless abyss, and staring at them for too long would drown you.
Ye Wanxi seemed to have thought of something, and her heart skipped a beat.
The next second, those eyes looked in her direction.
That one glance seemed to travel through a thousand years, freezing Ye Wanxi in place.
Immediately, Ye Wanxi heard that familiar voice: "Yuanyuan".
