alienation
Ye Qingzhu glanced to the side; Jiang Yingyue was clearly engrossed in her story, which made Ye Qingzhu feel uneasy. She quickly cleared her throat: "But maybe that was just his...politeness? After all, he knows everything, he doesn't need to put in any effort..."
"Then he must have known you liked him all along, right?" Jiang Yingyue teased again, which made Ye Qingzhu punch her a few more times. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"I told you not to ask this, are you satisfied now?" Ye Qingzhu turned her head away and gulped down a glass of wine.
Jiang Yingyue smiled and patted her: "Okay." Then she also looked into the distance, "Actually, I did ask the second question that day."
"What?" Ye Qingzhu was instantly shocked. "What problem? No, what did you use to exchange it?"
......
Inside Tingyu Tower, Jiang Shiyi looked at Jiang Yingyue in disbelief: "What? No, absolutely not."
"This is the only way we can leave safely." Jiang Yingyue had made up her mind as soon as she arrived and had already planned everything. "Even if Bai Yu hadn't come today, I would have made a substitution."
"Do you know what losing half of your soul means? What will it bring?" Jiang Shiyi warned her in a tone of disappointment. "You are not like those spirit masters, whose half of their soul is at least still connected to them. You have lost it, understand? You will slowly turn into a walking corpse."
"Let me tell you frankly, this problem doesn't require half a soul, but even a small part will damage your body. Your functions will decline, and your reactions will become sluggish. How can you rely on such conditions to take revenge?" Jiang Shiyi tried his best to dissuade Jiang Yingyue, but it was all in vain. Clearly, he underestimated Jiang Yingyue's determination.
However, this also proves that Jiang Yingyue was not blinded by hatred. Jiang Shiyi even admired her for this: "If you can successfully obtain the artifact, perhaps its power can fill this gap." He told Jiang Yingyue this with a glimmer of hope.
"Thanks."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiaobai appeared in the room. It leaped lightly onto the table, and Jiang Yingyue's eyes met itss. In that instant, she felt as if something had been pulled out of her body, and her legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the ground.
Xiao Bai then turned and walked into the hidden compartment.
Jiang Shiyi immediately went over to help her up, and it took her a while to recover.
......
After listening to Jiang Yingyue's story, Ye Qingzhu couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that Jiang Yingyue could be so heartless as to exchange her own soul for the answer to the question. What she couldn't believe even more was the final result. She immediately understood why Jiang Yingyue had always looked worried these past few days.
"So, your dizziness just now was also because of this?" Ye Qingzhu asked with concern.
"Maybe." Jiang Yingyue tried her best to appear indifferent, but no one would believe she was doing well. "Let's keep today's situation a secret from Ji Yinglei for now."
Ye Qingzhu nodded: "So when do you plan to tell her?"
"I don't know either. So much has happened these past few days. I... I haven't figured it out yet." Jiang Yingyue lowered her head, whether from worry or from the alcohol, it was hard to tell. Their conversation ended there, and they returned to their cabin together.
Ji Yinglei was still awake in the cabin. She was sitting to the side, seemingly writing a letter. Jiang Yingyue saw this and asked, "What are you doing, Senior Sister?"
"I'm letting the people in Qiyun Town know I'm safe. They were very worried about you," Ji Yinglei replied, her pen still moving, until she smelled the alcohol and realized they had just finished drinking. Then she smiled and shook her head: "You just can't live without this."
