"Young Master Sheng, what is the meaning of this?"
"I have things to do at home today, so I won't stay any longer."
Since Rouxue is now my concubine, there's no need for the young master to send her away! I'll take her back right away.”
"Oh! Is that so? Well then... In that case, you may take her with you!"
Si Mingchen didn't try to stop her, since Si Rouxue wasn't of much use anyway.
He always felt ashamed that a mentally challenged woman was his sister.
"I've noticed that this little maid is quite kind to Xue'er. Since that's the case, I'd like to take her with me! I wonder if the young master would be willing to sell this little maid to me?"
Sheng Wenjin looked at Si Mingchen with a smile in his phoenix eyes.
Si Mingchen glanced at the little maid and saw that she was keeping her head down and not moving. But judging from her figure, she was indeed Si Rouxue's personal maid.
Si Mingchen chuckled inwardly. Was she really that good to Si Rouxue?
Hehehe... Sheng Wenjin probably didn't see how this girl bullied Si Rouxue. She was incredibly ruthless!
She was just a maid, nothing special that warranted his attention, so he gave her away...
"What are you saying, Second Young Master Sheng? Given our relationship, she's just a maid; what business is there in talking about? What's wrong with giving her to you?"
"Someone come here! Bring over Ah Xia's indenture!"
Si Mingchen turned around generously and instructed the butler behind him.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness!"
Sheng Wenjin clasped his hands and bowed to Si Mingchen.
A moment later, the steward handed the maid's indenture to Sheng Wenjin. Sheng Wenjin took the indenture, said goodbye to Si Mingchen, and left.
After bidding farewell to Si Mingchen, Bai Mo and Wei Zixun left the Prince Rui's residence.
"Hey! Sheng Wenjin, what do you mean by this?"
Wei Zixun looked at Sheng Wenjin holding Si Rouxue's hand tightly, puzzled.
The beautiful woman I was about to win over just flew away like that?
"I'm sorry, she's very important to me! I can't give her to you!"
Sheng Wenjin looked at Wei Zixun and said with a serious expression.
"Hahaha... What's there to apologize for? She was yours to begin with! I may love beautiful women, but I only pity her! I trust Brother Sheng's character. She would be better off with you than with me."
Wei Zixun patted Sheng Wenjin on the shoulder with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wenjin nodded to Wei Zixun, then bid farewell to Wei Zixun, Bai Mo, and Chu Xinyuan before leading Si Rouxue into the carriage.
Sheng Wanwan followed behind with her short legs, pouting slightly.
She felt like her older brother was neglecting his sister for his girlfriend! He wasn't even holding her anymore! Humph!
As for the little maid, she still seemed to have lost her soul, walking blankly behind the carriage with her head down.
...
Nighttime, East Garden of the General's Mansion.
In Sheng Wenjin's room, Sheng Wanwan was standing on a chair, opening Sheng Wenjin's spiritual eye.
Sheng Wanwan formed a hand seal, and an invisible spiritual energy quickly gathered at her fingertips. She then touched Sheng Wenjin's eyes with her fingertips. When Sheng Wenjin opened his eyes again, he saw the soul in Si Rouxue's sea of consciousness through her body.
Just as Sheng Wanwan said, although the soul looked relatively complete, it was not three souls. Instead, a wisp of black energy linked the remnants of the three souls together, turning them into a strange remnant soul.
When Sheng Wenjin saw that wisp of remnant soul, an indescribable shock and grief welled up in his heart.
It's Wan'er, it really is her Wan'er.
Although his soul was as dazed as his body, Sheng Wenjin was still certain at a glance that this was Wan'er, who was engraved in his soul and whom he never wanted to forget in all his lifetimes.
"Wan'er! I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime! Wan'er, can you please wake up and tell me how I can help you find your complete soul!"
Looking at the mended soul, Sheng Wenjin felt as if his own soul was bleeding.
Wan'er's soul has turned into this.
He deserves to die; he made Wan'er suffer such a torment.
However, Wan'er's soul did not respond, remaining empty and numb.
Seeing Sheng Wenjin's pained expression, Sheng Wanwan reached out and turned off Sheng Wenjin's spiritual eye.
"Brother, do you know what's going on here?"
Sheng Wanwan asked with a frown.
She had never seen anything like it before; how could someone with such a severely damaged soul be able to reincarnate?
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wenjin poured Si Rouxue a glass of water, handed it to her, and then said:
"This is a secret technique of the demon race—Soul Weaving."
"The so-called soul weaving is the process by which powerful demons sacrifice their own demonic souls to stitch their shattered souls back together, allowing them to be reborn."
However, the souls it weaves are not complete, but rather like torn pieces of cloth forcibly sewn together, full of flaws and defects.
Therefore, those who are reborn in this way are also born with defects.
As Sheng Wenjin watched Si Rouxue sip water, he explained to Sheng Wanwan.
"A demonic soul sacrifice? So, it was that demon lord who was infatuated with Sister Wenwan who did it! I didn't expect this demon lord to be so devoted!"
Sheng Wanwan sighed.
Sheng Wenjin agreed with this point.
"Hmm! No wonder I killed him so easily when I chose to self-destruct and perish together with him. It turns out he had already started the sacrificial ritual. Otherwise, he could have easily avoided it if he wanted to."
"Brother, if the Demon Lord sacrificed his demonic soul, would he be completely destroyed?"
Sheng Wanwan asked curiously.
"That's true in theory, but there are exceptions! For example, if a wisp of demonic consciousness is sent out before the formation is activated, this wisp of demonic consciousness will consciously cultivate itself, and after hundreds of years, it may even be able to reunite the demonic soul."
