"So, Xiao Changhen, Xie Ciwei, and Yuetong are actually the same person?"
After Yan Baibai woke up, the system immediately told her everything. As for Wu Pin, since Yuetong didn't intend to let him merge, the system didn't include him.
"No wonder..." Yan Baibai digested the news and said slowly, "Xie Ciwei has such a high favorability rating."
"Host, I also heard that Yuetong intends to use you as a medium to stimulate their fusion." The system's tone was very excited: "Host, as long as you complete this, you can achieve the goal of the sacrifice and return to five hundred years later."
"That's great. I hope there won't be any more mistakes." She really had had enough of this place.
Half a month passed by unknowingly. During this period, Yan Baibai's sequelae of soul separation became more and more serious, but she would fall asleep on the bed every time. The believers were all ghost cultivators, so they did not notice anything wrong with Yan Baibai as they did not know much about mortals.
The peace was broken until one day, Xiao Changhen asked, "How is her illness?"
Having just heard about Yan Baibai's illness from there, Yuetong's expressionless face instantly turned cold, and then a wave of silent anger surged out.
Walking in the moonlight, Yuetong quickly walked towards the palace where Yan Baibai lived. He knew in his heart that his anxiety was actually just due to the affection that Xiao Changhen's clone and that woman had developed from being together day and night.
This was nothing, he didn't intend to resist this feeling. Having lived for so long, he always understood that no matter what kind of feelings, they would eventually fade away with the passage of time.
Just like his feelings for that woman now, every time she was sad and lonely, his heart would feel immense pain.
It doesn't matter. Once she dies and they are reunited, he will slowly forget her as time goes by.
At that time, she was no longer in the world. And he was still the Ghost Cultivator Yuetong Venerable who controlled the world, and the powerful one no one dared to bully.
Thinking this way, Yue Tong ignored the discomfort in his heart and finally used magic to teleport directly to the palace where Yan Baibai lived. When the believers guarding the palace saw Yue Tong's arrival, they all knelt down, and because of his signal, no one dared to speak.
Yuetong walked silently. When he came in, Yan Baibai had just finished bathing and was lying on the chaise longue in the inner hall. Two female believers were wiping her hair with dry towels, a maid was peeling fruit for her, and another was gently massaging her calves.
The windows of the inner hall were wide open, and the moonlight shone on Yan Baibai's fair face. The moonlight was beautiful, but she closed her eyes and did not appreciate it.
The maids quickly noticed Yue Tong appearing at the inner hall's doorway. After a moment of surprise, they tried to bow, but Yue Tong stopped them with a look. He approached Yan Baibai, dismissed the two maids who were wiping her hair, and took over their work himself.
Yuetong always knew that Yan Baibai had soft hair. He slowly combed her hair one by one. Because of the magic he used, the slightly wet hair dried quickly.
"Madam, do you need any fruit?" The maid who was peeling oranges felt Yuetong's glare and asked with a tactful look.
"No." How could Yan Baibai, who possessed the system, not know about Yue Tong's arrival? She sighed, and soon attracted the maid's questions, so she took the opportunity to ask, "I once saw a river flowing under the mountain from afar. Are there any fish in it?"
"Madam, that river is called the Ghost Crying River. The water is very cold, and I have never seen any living creature in it." The maid answered in a low voice, as if she felt a little sorry for not being able to go fishing for Yan Baibai herself.
"Is that so..." Yan Baibai opened his eyes and asked again, "I saw a field of flowers on the top of the west mountain today. I could smell the fragrance from afar. Can you pick some and put them in the room?"
"This..." The flowers on the west mountain top are the master's medicinal herbs. She is not qualified to agree to this! The maid looked at the master who was still touching his hair inquiringly, but the other party did not give any hints.
The maid didn't know how to answer. When she turned her gaze to Yan Baibai again, she had already closed her eyes and was breathing deeply.
"Is she always like this?" Yuetong said the first sentence after coming in.
"Yes, my lord," the maid replied respectfully, "Mortals seem to need a lot of sleep every day."
"Everyone, get out."
After the maids left, Yuetong bent down, picked up Yan Baibai and walked towards the bed. When he put Yan Baibai on the bed, his spiritual power had already circulated around Yan Baibai several times, and he did not find anything unusual.
"Heh~ I'm really crazy. I was going to die anyway, so why am I so nervous?"
After covering Yan Baibai with the quilt, Yuetong stood by the bed, quietly looking at the person lying quietly on the bed.
"What kind of power do you have?" Yue Tong slowly raised her right hand and touched her heart, frowning slightly. "Every time I see you, there's a force pulling at this place..."
Yue Tong suddenly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Yan Baibai's red lips, and finally kissed her forehead. He quickly stood up and turned away, his face full of annoyance.
"I'd better not see you again!"
Before leaving, Yuetong closed the window gently.
When Yan Baibai woke up the next day, the first thing she smelled was a familiar floral scent. When she opened the curtains, she saw a room full of flowers.
"System?" Yan Baibai asked.
"Yes, host. Yuetong got them. They are flowers from the top of the western mountain." The system was very excited and added, "Host, even one flower from here would be snatched up by all the major immortal sects if taken outside. This is because it is an essential medicinal ingredient for refining high-level elixirs and its growing conditions are extremely harsh."
