What exactly is the conflict between these two?
I was about to ask a question when Grandma Sun interrupted me: "You don't need to ask anything else. I'm just asking you, do you want the [Earth Soul] or do you want to save people?"
My heart sank.
Does this mean that if I choose to save Xiaomi, I won't be able to find the [Earth Soul]?
I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will Xiaomi's life be in danger?"
"No, that won't happen, but you'll be entangled with that thing for lifetimes to come."
I looked at Xiaomi.
She looked at me calmly, her eyes devoid of pleading or hope, as still as a stagnant pool, as if she didn't care what decision I made.
I gritted my teeth and looked at Xiaomi apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Xiaomi, I have a compelling reason. I need the [Earth Soul]!"
I must know the truth. Even if I am accused of being heartless and ruthless, I don't care anymore. After all, I don't have a [Earth Soul] and am inherently emotionally detached.
Xiaomi casually tossed her hair, gave me a faint smile, and indicated that I shouldn't worry too much.
"I do have a solution! But I need to go back and prepare some things. We'll start at midnight tonight."
As she spoke, Grandma Sun took out the paper figure with Xiaomi's birth date and time written on it from her pocket and handed it to me.
What does this mean?
I stared blankly at the paper figure in my hand.
Isn't this the one I saw in the closet before?
Grandma Sun did not answer and turned to leave.
What does this mean exactly?
I handed the paper figure to Xiaomi, but Xiaomi didn't take it, and said with a relaxed expression.
"This is from Grandma Sun. She must have her reasons. Keep it for yourself. In case something really happens to me tonight, consider it a keepsake for you."
Upon hearing this, I felt as if the paper figure in my hand had become incredibly heavy, making it hard for me to breathe.
"Millet!"
"Hmm?" Xiaomi tilted her head and looked at me.
Will you blame me?
I was a little afraid to look her in the eye, and my voice unconsciously lowered.
Of course!
Xiaomi chuckled.
Before I could even speak, she shrugged and continued, "But, well, someone like me is already rotten to the core. Being with a ghost or being with a human makes no difference. If I fail, at most I'll just keep being with it. Just treat it as a wet dream!"
"Anyway, he's the father of the child, and doing it with a ghost is pretty cool, okay!"
Although she tried to appear nonchalant, I could sense that she actually longed to live a normal life.
I gripped the paper figure tightly in my hand, head down, my heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure of what to do.
I don't have many emotions, so why do I feel so uncomfortable right now?
"Oh dear! Why are you making such a long face again?"
Xiaomi cupped my face and pulled the corners of my mouth wide again: "Smile more and your luck will be better! I don't care, why are you so sad? Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate!"
With that, she waved her hand forcefully: "Sir, please protect the account!"
