Since Li Luo's soul merged with Yuan Zhao's main personality, the plot has been like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, galloping westward with no return.
Yuan Zhao settled down in a village somewhere with Qiao Zhen and Chu Chu. Ever since Yuan Lin was tricked by Qiao Zhen, he had followed Yuan Zhao's lead without question, calling him "Big Brother" all day long.
Qiao Zhen is about to break down!
"It's an honor to give a thorough report to the handsome, tall, and resourceful Yuan Zhao oppa on this bright, starry night. First, I'll rub my stomach with both hands to show how cool I am." Qiao Zhen rubbed her stomach with both hands. "Well then, I'll begin. I and Yuan Lin come from the same place, a fictional and distant place, it doesn't matter what it is exactly."
Yuan Zhao and Yuan Lin listened attentively. Sometimes blood ties are truly a magical thing; they can bring together two strangers who were originally enemies to drink at the same table.
Qiao Zhen was filled with hatred! But no matter how much she hated it, she could only advise Yuan Zhao, "Yuan Lin and I can only have one of us survive, because we are both magnanimous people chosen by the world. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. But now, even one male and the other female cannot be tolerated, because I look down on him! So the final outcome is either his death or my survival. We can't drag this out any longer. If we drag it out any longer, we will both be severely injured!"
"Keep making things up." Yuan Lin poured himself another cup of tea, still holding some melon seeds in his hand, with Chu Chu wearing a panda vest in his arms.
In fact, ever since the three of them settled in the village, Qiao Zhen had been trying to persuade Yuan Zhao to kill Yuan Lin for all sorts of reasons, with countless versions of the story emerging. If Yuan Lin hadn't watched so many melodramatic TV dramas, he would have believed Qiao Zhen's nonsense.
Yuan Zhao just smiled indulgently at this, "Good boy, you spoke very well, here's a reward for you." He took out a silver hairpin he had bought at the market in town from his waist.
Qiao Zhen accepted the hairpin without any backbone and said happily, "Thank you for your support, sir."
She glanced at Yuan Lin sideways, "Hey, what about yours? Don't tell me you've listened to so many episodes of my story and still want to get it for free?"
Yuan Lin looked at Qiao Zhen with disdain, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "You're making up a story to get my brother to kill me, and you still want me to give you money? Are you crazy?"
Yuan Zhao gave Yuan Lin a dangerous look; he didn't like anyone else staring at Qiao Zhen for too long. "Hurry up and pay."
Yuan Lin reluctantly pulled out some loose silver from his purse, saying, "Here you go."
Qiao Zhen beamed as she put the loose silver into her purse. "Good boy, cannon fodder, don't I look like the female lead? Give me more money, and I'll help you climb the social ladder, okay?"
Yuan Lin gritted his teeth, thinking about his development in this world. If Yuan Zhao really was the male lead, then Qiao Zhen could really be the female lead. Heaven is so unfair! Why is Qiao Zhen the female lead when she transmigrates, while he's just cannon fodder!
"Give."
That was a gold bar that Yuan Lin had put in his pocket.
Qiao Zhen accepted it without hesitation, "Good boy, call Daddy if you need anything in the future, otherwise I won't answer you."
Yuan Zhao glared fiercely at Yuan Lin, then pulled Qiao Zhen out to climb onto the roof to look at the stars and the moon.
"Hey, why did you suddenly change your mind and let Yuan Lin go?" This was the first time Qiao Zhen had calmly discussed this topic with Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao stammered, "Because of me, I can't beat them."
Qiao Zhen stared in disbelief. She lowered her voice and leaned closer to Yuan Zhao, "Really? Or are you kidding me?"
Yuan Zhao's face flushed slightly as he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Qiao Zhen. "It's true, although Li Luo and I are one, Yuan Zhao is still independent, which is why I can't beat Yuan Lin."
Qiao Zhen sensed that Yuan Zhao was a little shy when he spoke, so she moved closer to him. He had a faint blush on his face. "If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback. What's with the blush? It's petty."
She didn't overlook Yuan Zhao's cold demeanor after he stood up, nor how Yuan Lin had been swayed by her words. It wasn't that Yuan Zhao was weaker than Yuan Lin. Qiao Zhen didn't want to dwell on this "past," so the three of them tacitly moved on.
After spending a long time mentally preparing himself, Yuan Zhao finally mustered up the courage to subtly confess to Qiao Zhen, "No, it's just that Zhenzhen smells very nice, almost intoxicating."
Qiao Zhen raised her arm with a strange expression, bringing her face close to her sleeve to smell the faint scent—the fragrance of wildflowers from the village. Because of its strong aroma, she always smelled it every time she passed by. "Then you can save your money on alcohol in the future. I'll take you to smell the wildflowers by the roadside. It won't harm your health and it'll save you money."
Yuan Zhao's previously cheerful expression completely collapsed. He was somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't vent his anger on Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You're becoming more and more unfathomable lately. Keep it up."
It's not that Qiao Zhen has low emotional intelligence, but she would never dare to think that the mission target had taken a liking to her. If she really dared to date the mission target—a certain handsome single god from ancient times—she would be beaten to death by the brainless fans of the Heavenly Realm when she returned!
A master like him is to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with.
In the days that followed, Qiao Zhen racked her brains every day to figure out how to merge Yuan Zhao and Yuan Zhao into one. All she could think of in this situation was stimulation and coercion.
By forcing Yuan Zhao into a predicament, his personality was forced to merge into one.
The task's design is somewhat peculiar; each personality is endowed with different martial arts skills and abilities. When the secondary personality merges with the primary personality, the primary personality can absorb the secondary personality's abilities. This was something Yuan Zhao consciously told Qiao Zhen.
One day, Qiao Zhen stood on a high earthen slope, looking at the distant mountains and villages.
