The farce in the west and central courtyards was playing on the curtain wall of the main hall of the Sihe Fortress.
Fu Qingyao rubbed her temples, her head aching, and said, "You brat, where did you get all this top-quality stuff?"
"Cough cough, Mom, I just told Captain Liu that the beasts in the original courtyard were all top-notch, and if possible, I would try to arrange a group of top-notch people as their neighbors. And this is what happened?" Zheng Ya didn't expect it to turn out like this.
It was just a casual remark at the time, but who knew that Captain Liu would actually find a large number of top-quality women, and now the courtyard is in an uproar.
Fu Qingyao was so angry her teeth ached: "Have you turned this into a mental hospital?"
"Cough cough, it's not that serious. They are all problem people, that's true, but their nature doesn't constitute evil under the law. Hmm, that's all." Zheng Ya only wanted to use them for experiments now; whether they were problem people or not didn't matter anymore.
Xing Guan smiled knowingly: "Mother-in-law, don't be fooled by this Fifth Sister's crazy appearance. At first glance, she doesn't seem like a proper person."
In fact, she was an elderly woman who came from a theatrical troupe and had spent most of her life dancing.
They were originally a happy family with a fulfilling life.
Unfortunately, that summer, her husband was cheated by a friend and lost all their money. While they were busy borrowing money to pay off the debts, their two children went out to find food and accidentally fell into the water and drowned. This delayed the couple from borrowing money to pay off the debts, and her husband was beaten to death.
She went crazy when she lost everything in a single day.
If she hadn't practiced dance since childhood, dancing through her life, she might have died of resentment or committed suicide long ago.
"Oh, that's so pitiful." Fu Qingyao became sentimental again and was no longer opposed to it.
Xing Guan continued, "Her family was destroyed during the warlord era. An officer who once admired her acting helped her avenge her family, and only then did she regain her senses. She went around performing for charity, saying that she wanted to live in place of her husband and children, do good deeds, and be reborn into a better family in the next life."
"Oh, what a pitiful person he is?"
"So she's doing this on purpose, isn't she?" Fu Qingyao belatedly realized that what Grandpa Li had done had gone too far.
The entire courtyard was full of beasts, not a single one of them was any good, and not a single one of them stood up to tell the truth.
Even though Xu Damao was wronged, he still longed for Qin Huairu's body and couldn't wait to get things done and win the beauty's heart.
It was simply a matter of timing and occasion; otherwise, Xu Damao wouldn't have resisted by grabbing the threshold, but would have gone straight into Qin Huairu's house to do his thing, then shifted the blame to Grandpa Li, and at worst, married Qin Huairu.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Li deliberately messed with him, choosing the wrong time and place.
If Xu Damao dares to lay a hand on Qin Huairu, Grandpa Li will gather the people in the courtyard to beat him to death. Xu Damao isn't stupid, so he won't fight back.
People in the courtyard were opportunistic and would cheer and make a fuss over anything that seemed like fun.
He only sang this song because he angered Wu Niang.
Xing Guan nodded slightly: "I think so?"
Fifth Sister is getting old, she's eighty-six years old, and can no longer perform in charity shows. Perhaps the neighborhood thought she'd be of use here with her husband, and that it would provide her with a peaceful and comfortable old age, so they arranged for her to come.”
"Well, in that case, we can't just do nothing."
"You brat, I've made up my mind. You first train Fifth Sister to the peak of the sixth-tier puppet level, and then work together to help her cultivate to an even higher level."
Tell her that once she cultivates to the twelfth level or higher, she will have the ability to resurrect her husband and children. Hmm, shall we do that? Fu Qingyao waved her hand and made her decision.
The whole family was shocked. So this is what kind of mother-in-law you are?
Zheng Ya looked annoyed. Was his son so easy to bully?
You're not using your ready-made daughter-in-law? It seems like the yin are dominating the family and she has no status.
Xing Guan smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, we will urge my husband to handle this matter."
"Alright, then. Also, you're all forbidden from provoking Wu Wei again." Fu Qingyao stood up and gave a warning to the group of beautiful daughters-in-law.
He kept a thought to himself, "When I revive my adopted daughter's soul essence, she will come back."
But you can't say things like that.
Because she was worried that Zheng Ya might overthink things and mistakenly believe that she wanted Zheng Ya to be resurrected using the original soul fragment of Zheng Ya from Blue Star and become her real son, she couldn't say such hurtful things.
This led to the scene where she directed her son to do things while preventing her daughter-in-law from doing so.
Little did she know that her thoughts had already been seen through by Zheng Ya and Xing Guan, who had just learned of this while they were exploring their shared domain.
It's possible that at the moment when they jointly eradicated the will of a core segment of the soul, Fu Qingyao witnessed a miracle of the human soul's origin. Her soul fluctuated abnormally, attracting the attention of Zheng Ya and Xing Guan, who inadvertently discovered Fu Qingyao's thoughts.
Now, after Fu Qingyao left amidst the repeated approval of her daughters-in-law, Xing Guan was unsettled: "Husband, what do you think of your mother-in-law's thoughts?"
"I'll just lie down and sleep." Zheng Ya was speechless. The family continued to cast spells together, grabbing and pinching the remaining six soul essences of Bang Geng one by one, and killing them in the light.
One soul's original will remains, which devours the other soul origins that have lost their active will, thus creating a complete soul origin will.
A personality with intact positive traits has emerged.
As the family watched her birth and growth, they chatted: "Husband, we can actually resolve this with a white lie."
After all, a person's soul originates from the crystallization of their parents' love.
They especially cherish the fruit of their love, which transcends life and death, like that of their mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Besides, my husband, neither of us can be certain which of your three lifetimes you are the personality that governs the fundamental will of your soul.
After all, your personality incorporates memories from three lifetimes, and your primary will cannot distinguish between primary and secondary aspects.
It was merely a fusion of the soul origins of three people, each forming a separate entity. By fabricating a story, they claimed that the Blue Star personality had taken control, thus appeasing the mother-in-law and bringing harmony to the family.
Only by doing this can we resolve the mother-in-law's inner conflict, allowing her to bring up the topic of liberating the soul essence of her adopted daughter, Wu Wei. If we then take action, we might be able to create a completely new Wu Wei and eliminate the biggest hidden danger.
What do you think?
"Hmm, theoretically we could give it a try."
However, before we try, we should conduct more experiments on animals to find out the true code to control the origin of the soul, and then popularize it to our own people and enemies.
These things can't be rushed. Safety comes first, caution second, and dealing with the enemy last. Zheng Ya set the tone, feeling that it was best to proceed cautiously for now.
Xu Qi suddenly warned, "Something's wrong! Bang Geng's soul and will have mutated and split again?"
"What's going on?" The family was in an uproar.
Was all that work for nothing?
The newly integrated soul essence has split into three again. Why is this happening?
If the experiment fails, how can we appease the souls of our own family members?
Xing Guan seemed to understand: "I know the reason now. It's because Bang Geng's willpower is not strong. Under the various temptations of the memory content, he restored his various personalities."
This is problematic. We can't exactly erase most of someone's memories just to save them, leaving only a single, pure memory to maintain a singular will and ensure the integrity of their soul's essence, can we?
