Chapter 34 Soul Torture
"A powerful evil sorcerer?" Mu Xi immediately thought of someone. "Could it be the Imperial Preceptor Xian Ling?"
"Her?" The white-robed immortal raised an eyebrow, looking down on her. "She's too conventional and lacks the spiritual energy a great shaman should have. She's not as good as the disciple beside her. She doesn't have that ability."
Not Xian Ling?
Mu Xi easily eliminated one suspect.
From this perspective, it seems that the Gao family was colluding with some shady sorcerer who used the name of the Imperial Preceptor to summon the soul and secretly instructed the blue-robed sorceress Wei Yu to harm her and prevent her from ever waking up again.
As soon as the white-robed immortal finished speaking, he disappeared from sight.
These two personalities are quite a show.
Once it disappeared, the dark void immediately fell silent.
Mu Xi rubbed her throbbing temples and fell into thought.
After an unknown amount of time, when I looked up again, I found that the fairy's personality was still standing guard beside me.
The fairy maiden was clasping her hands together and looking up at the sky. Noticing Mu Xi looking over, she smiled slightly: "I didn't expect the original soul master to be the incarnation of a goddess. It is truly gratifying to learn today that she did not perish but returned to the heavenly family."
Having almost missed what the white-robed fairy said, Mu Xi remembered after the fairy's reminder and clasped her hands together, saying, "Yes, it's so good that she wasn't killed silently."
Although it came from the bottom of my heart, I still felt really bad...
The original owner was good, but Mu Xi was really not good.
The original owner returned to the divine position, but left behind a bunch of "empty shells".
Although it was more of a hindrance than a help, it was still a kind of help, but...
Alas, Mu Xi felt bitter and couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question: "Sister Fairy, what should I do to regain my normal woman's identity and live a life of openness, dignity, and freedom?"
The fairy maiden paused for a moment, then copied the answer verbatim: "The Soul Master faked his death to change his identity..."
“No…” Mu Xi shook her head, “What I want is not a compromised identity, but to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to this identity and live freely.”
The fairy maiden sighed, "Alas, wasn't that the original soul master's aspiration? It's a pity that he couldn't realize it even until his death."
Mu Xi seemed to have no expectation of getting an answer, and continued to ask, "Can money do it? Can power do it?"
"This..." The fairy's personality didn't know how to answer.
Mu Xi shook her head again and gave a self-deprecating smile: "Even if we had both, it probably wouldn't work. Otherwise, why would Jin Fangjun Mu Zhen, who is rich and powerful, have his daughter disguise herself as a man to obtain the title of Jin Fangjun?"
The fairy maiden remained silent.
Mu Xi then asked, "If I want to regain my identity as a woman, who do you think will support me?"
The fairy maiden's personality is in a difficult position.
Mu Xi then added a question, which was actually a way of clarifying her own thoughts: "Man or woman?"
This time, the fairy's personality didn't hesitate: "She's a woman after all."
Mu Xi shook her head again: "This matter has nothing to do with men or women."
"Then..." Fairy was completely confused.
Mu Xi continued, "So tell me, if I set up free schools, build workshops, and repair shelters to specifically help the orphaned, the elderly, the disabled, the sick, and the poor, do you think they would turn around and support me when needed?"
“These are all good deeds, good things. Good people will be rewarded, and they should be.” Fairy Maiden’s personality agreed.
Mu Xi still denied herself: "No, they won't. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't have the power. People at the bottom of society suffer from the hardships of making a living and are often too busy to take care of themselves. Even if you do them a favor, they would want to repay the kindness, but because they have suffered too much and been hurt too much, they simply don't have the power to repay. If it comes to personal interests, they are like frightened birds, and when disaster strikes, they scatter."
She gradually observed this through her mother's frequent visits to do good deeds in her past life.
She did good deeds anonymously and never expected anything in return.
But as she grew older and gained more experience, this became the reality that Mu Xi observed.
Mu Xi denied it again and again, then asked, "If poverty and low social status won't work, then tell me, what if I use benefits to win over powerful and noble families? Will they support me then?"
“This…” Fairy Maiden’s personality clearly showed that she had no confidence in this social class.
Mu Xi continued to shake her head, already having the answer: "They are naturally no good either. They are the group of people who value interests and wealth the most. They are only willing to hold on to their vested interests. They will only fight back when their personal interests are threatened. As for others, they are never a concern to them."
"Alas..." The fairy's personality expressed her attitude with a long sigh.
Mu Xi continued her probing question: "If the bottom level doesn't work, if the middle level doesn't work, then what about the top level?"
The fairy maiden's personality frowned: "Does the Soul Master mean the King, Queen, and the four regional lords?"
"Heh..." Mu Xi sneered and shook her head, "I also think they are even more unreliable. Royal power comes from interests and must be above interests. Whether I, a mere noble lady, can regain my status is only related to their power, dignity, and face. Why would they help me otherwise?"
The fairy's personality also worried: "Then what other options are there?"
Mu Xi rejected all the previous proposals and then put forward the final solution: "These people are no good because they are all entangled in interests, unless there is anything in this world that is not entangled in interests."
"Something untouched by self-interest?" Fairy Maiden's personality was less certain. "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." This time, Mu Xi finally affirmed, "For example, priceless family ties, friendships tested by adversity, and unwavering love..."
The fairy maiden's personality was about to confirm it.
Mu Xi then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Unfortunately, these are things that can only be encountered by chance, and I happen to have none of them."
“Soul Master…” How could the fairy maiden not sense Mu Xi’s deep sense of loss?
Mu Xi changed the subject: "It doesn't matter if we don't have these, they're not useful in this matter. But there is one thing that can be used, I want to try it."
Fairy Maiden is arguably the most qualified "chat" messenger: "What is that?"
“Superstition… Ah… No… I mean faith.” This was the biggest difference between this world and her previous life that Mu Xi discovered after transmigrating. It was a world where gods, shamans, and humans co-ruled.
"Faith?" Fairy Maiden's personality didn't understand.
Mu Xi said to herself, "Since God is a faith, no one will disbelieve or disobey what God says. Without the need for worldly exchanges, people are willing to give everything to follow God. If one day I can reveal in the name of God that I was forced to dress as a man, then the gods will not blame me, and the people who believe in God have no right to blame me. Wouldn't I be able to openly and legitimately reclaim my identity?"
The fairy maiden seemed to understand, but asked, "Does the Soul Master not believe in gods?"
