Stable soul
When Lin Shi awoke from her dream-like state, she instantly teleported to Lian Zheng's cave. Lian Zheng was sitting cross-legged on a futon on the ground. Seeing Lin Shi appear before him, he laughed. His hearty laughter filled the spacious hall.
Lin Shi stared wide-eyed at Lian Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, for a long while before she moved closer to him. She first stood in front of Lian Zheng, and then squatted down to face him.
Lin Shi stretched out her hands. She gently cupped Lian Zheng's face, looking at him carefully from left to right, scrutinizing him for a long time. After a while, she stroked Lian Zheng's face and features. After stroking him once, she looked intently at Lian Zheng's peach blossom eyes. Seeing his bright eyes and smiling expression, Lin Shi then wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him closer, and their foreheads touched.
Once the empathy was triggered, nearly a hundred years of memories flashed through their minds one after another. Only after they had seen all the memories did they separate from their foreheads.
Lin Shi conjured a futon and sat cross-legged directly opposite Lian Zheng.
Lin Shi couldn't help but accuse, "Lian Zheng, you actually contacted Wen Zhao'an before my incarnation went into reincarnation!"
Lian Zheng paused for a moment, his eyes flickering, before he explained frankly, "Lin Shi, I have maintained contact with him from the very beginning. From the moment you ascended to the Hongchuan Realm, I knew about his connection with me."
Lin Shi's gaze sharpened: "Then why didn't you contact him and merge with him from the beginning?"
Lian Zheng chose to tell the truth: "Lin Shi, you were very wary from the beginning. If I had contacted him beforehand, there would have been no chance for us to become Daoist partners. You might have kicked me out the first time we had a synergy."
Lin Shi was momentarily speechless. After a while, she composed herself and said, "Then why do you insist on becoming my Daoist partner? Is it just because of that lifelong Daoist soul contract?"
Lian Zheng patiently explained, "It's not the contract that's affecting it. You and I both know that after reincarnation, even if the appearance and upbringing are different in the next life, the temperament and preferences are similar to those in the previous life. My first past life was when I fell in love with your first past life at first sight. Isn't it normal that I liked you the first time I saw you? I've been reincarnated, but my preferences haven't changed! No matter how many lifetimes I go through, I will still like you very much!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shi paused for a moment, her earlobes immediately turning red. She tried her best to avoid showing any embarrassment, but didn't bother to look away. Instead, she tried to remain calm and replied, "Okay!"
Seeing Lin Shi's reaction, Lian Zheng smiled slightly. He stretched out his hands and took both of Lin Shi's hands in his palms. Then, he placed Lin Shi's right hand on his heart, watching as Lin Shi blushed. After a while, he took her hands in his palms again, holding them tightly.
Lin Shi was so embarrassed that she decided to give up and just watched Lian Zheng's actions without saying a word or breaking free from his grasp.
After the two had finished their sweet time together, Lin Shi watched as Lian Zheng stabilized his soul in front of her. Afterwards, the two touched forehead to forehead and resonated with each other to confirm that Lian Zheng had not disappeared and was still in his original form.
