Chapter 187: Chapter 188: One Body with Twin Souls

Suddenly, Zhu Minglang recalled a small detail.

Not long ago, when he called her by name, she seemed rather unhappy.

Although he usually addressed her as “Miss Ling Sha”, this time he directly called her “Nan Lingsha”, and she was clearly dissatisfied and made no attempt to hide it.

“Nan Lingsha, isn’t that her name?” Zhu Minglang began to ponder.

Then what is her true name?

The artist is Nan Lingsha.

Then the Dragon Shepherd is…

“Miss Xinghua, we should go. If the Holy Candle Dragon catches up, we might be in trouble,” Zhu Minglang walked over, glanced at the painting Nan Lingsha had made on the ice cloud, and then spoke as if to maintain calm.

Nan Lingsha turned around, her beautiful eyes rippling with emotion.

She stared at Zhu Minglang, and the aura about her clearly changed, no longer as tranquil and amiable as before, as if she became more guarded.

Zhu Minglang maintained the composed smile on his face, as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter.

But his heart was beating faster.

He felt that the person in front of him was different from the person before.

The artist little sister, and the Dragon Shepherd little sister, were two different people.

They didn’t even seem to be aware of each other’s existence.

The Art of Mortals and Gods and the Art of Dragon Shepherd cannot coexist within one person.

He himself was a clear example of this.

Therefore, the only explanation for Nan Lingsha was that she had dual souls!

Different personalities.

Different memories.

Different abilities.

The artist is one person.

The Dragon Shepherd is another.

This is also why she gave him that feeling, like the rains of June.

Zhu Minglang had previously guessed this, but unfortunately, he had never seen Nan Lingsha summon dragons, as there were some God and Mortal beings with dragons that had human-like traits following them.

But this time, Nan Lingsha summoned two dragons.

And she had taken them both back into the Spirit Realm.

She was a legitimate Dragon Shepherd, not just followed by a willing Dragon Beast.

The God and Mortal cultivate from refining the soul.

The Dragon Shepherd, merges soul with dragon.

This is why you cannot have both. Zhu Minglang knew from personal experience; he understood that opening his soul to the dragon meant cutting off his Mortal God Soul Cultivation.

So unless a person’s body was inhabited by two souls,

She could possess both the Art of Dragon Shepherd and the Power of God and Mortality!

If the artist is Nan Lingsha,

Then the Dragon Shepherd must be Li Xinghua!

The girl who was saved by the young Li Yunzi and then hidden away.

Nan Lingsha even lied by claiming Li Xinghua was a Prophet.

In fact, she had always been right by his side.

“What is it?” Zhu Minglang noticed the look in Nan Lingsha’s eyes, which carried a hint of interrogation and doubt.

Did he hit the mark?

Otherwise, why would the focused artist Nan Lingsha have such an expression?

Calling her by the wrong name intentionally, he had made the artist Nan Lingsha think he knew their secret of having dual souls.

After all, the artist Nan Lingsha had no idea what he and the Dragon Shepherd little sister had discussed, what they had talked about.

Although they shared the same body, their memories, consciousness, and abilities were not shared!

That’s why when the artist appeared, the Error Beast Dragon and the Chilodon were forcibly returned to the Spirit Realm.

“What are you probing at?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“What probing? You tell me yourself, calling you Miss Xinghua is also fine,” Zhu Minglang pretended not to know.

Zhu Minglang couldn’t possibly admit that he was probing.

“Feigning cleverness,” Nan Lingsha said coldly and indifferently.

“Oh, oh, Miss Lingsha, I thought…” Zhu Minglang feigned ignorance, continuing to act as though another her had already revealed their secret.

“If you want to know, I can tell you,” Nan Lingsha said as she put away her paintbrush.

“I mean no harm,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We met for the first time by the bridge. You mistook me for Li Yunzi, but it was not by chance because I was memorizing your appearance, planning to let you die in a dream painting,” Nan Lingsha declared.

Zhu Minglang’s mouth fell open.

Such a vicious woman!

“The second time we met was in the bamboo forest,” Nan Lingsha continued.

“It was in the Book Pavilion, you said it yourself that you wanted to kill me,” Zhu Minglang corrected her.

“What do you think?” Nan Lingsha counter-asked.

Surprise slowly spread across Zhu Minglang’s face.

The one in the Book Pavilion was another person!

Suddenly, Zhu Minglang remembered something Li Yunzi said to him in Rong Valley City.

Beware of the person you meet by the bridge.

She was warning him to be careful of the painter Nan Lingsha.

Because she really would kill him!

They were sisters secretly watching out for each other, and in Nan Lingsha’s eyes, he was the refugee who had insulted Li Yunzi at that time!

Zhu Minglang shuddered.

“So, there is indeed another person residing within you?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Do you really think it was Li Yunzi you were with in the dungeon?” Nan Lingsha suddenly questioned.

Her words struck Zhu Minglang like lightning, blowing his mind in an instant!

Zhu Minglang stepped back, looking at Nan Lingsha.

“Then… who was that?” Zhu Minglang felt a cold sweat forming at the back of his neck.

Not Li Yunzi??

“Just the person you called a moment ago,” Nan Lingsha said.

Li Xinghua??

Impossible!

He and Li Yunzi…

The Valkyrie who was powerless in the dungeons.

Single body, dual souls, single body, dual souls!

If Nan Lingsha is a single body with dual souls, then as the Twin Flower Sisters, Li Yunzi…

“Li Yunzi, Li Xinghua, Nan Lingsha, Nan Yu Suo, four sisters… are you quadruplet sisters??” Zhu Minglang suddenly remembered the memorial night in the ancestral hall; Li Ying had mentioned his two younger daughters who died young.

He subconsciously thought that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were a few years older than the other two, but even among quadruplets, there is an order, there are elder and younger sisters!

Li Ying was mourning his wife that time but did not mourn these two daughters who passed away young. Could this mean that these two were actually still alive?

They lived on in another way, within the bodies of their two older sisters!

“This is what you wanted to know. You might as well stay confused,” Nan Lingsha said. After uttering those words, she continued walking ahead.

“Miss Lingsha.” Zhu Minglang grabbed her wrist.

A hint of embarrassed anger flashed in Nan Lingsha’s eyes.

Zhu Minglang released his hand and said, “How do you know who was in the dungeon if you don’t remember what happens to each other’s bodies?”

“Xinghua is a Prophet; she has no other self-preservation abilities. Do you think it would be possible for Li Yunzi to be trapped?” Nan Lingsha said.

“So, you mean to say that Li Ying used this fact to trap Yunzi in the dungeon?” Zhu Minglang said.

It wasn’t Li Yunzi who was in the dungeon…

They all have single bodies with dual souls.

The one he was intimate with was merely another person.

But when she woke up, who was it, Li Yunzi or Li Xinghua?

And afterward, who was the one I interacted with?

No, that’s not right.

Zhu Minglang still felt something was off.

The Li Yunzi he had interacted with was the same person from start to finish.

“I believe it was Yunzi. I trust my own judgment,” Zhu Minglang finally shook his head, denying what Nan Lingsha had said.

“She’ll be arriving at the Imperial City soon. You can ask her yourself,” said Nan Lingsha.

“So you’re quadruplets? Li Yunzi, Li Xinghua, Nan Lingsha, Nan Yuso? You are Nan Lingsha, and Nan Yuso is another soul within you,” Zhu Minglang stated.

Nan Lingsha did not answer.

That counted as an acknowledgment.

Zhu Minglang looked around, surrounded by mist.

In the beginning, Zhu Minglang thought that Li Yunzi had dual souls with just two different personalities.

However, after seeing the two sisters appear at the same time, Zhu Minglang dismissed that idea.

But just as he was getting used to the idea of the sisters being twins, it turned out to be true that they had dual souls!

Not even a storyteller would dare to make up such wild tales!

Yet reality was right in front of him.

How could Zhu Minglang’s heart not waver?

It was okay with the painter niece and dragon shepherd niece—as they had a clear relationship with him and weren’t involved in deeper issues.

But what about Li Yunzi…

If it really was as Nan Lingsha had said, and the person in the dungeon was someone else.

How is the relationship I just established with Li Yunzi supposed to continue?

My head’s spinning!

Zhu Minglang was a man with principles, after all.

Although Nan Lingsha looked exactly like Li Yunzi, he had not stepped out of line, always interacted with her politely, and maintained a gentlemanly relationship.

But now, within Li Yunzi’s body, there were two souls.

According to Nan Lingsha’s words.

The one with me in the dungeon was her sister Li Xinghua.

But afterward, the one I interacted with was her sister Li Yunzi.

It’s all too confusing.

Zhu Minglang shook his head, tossing the jumbled thoughts out of his mind.

This is my own fault.

Why did I have to unravel the mystery of Nan Lingsha’s dual personalities?

Just treat her as one person, whose mood changes inexplicably, isn’t that okay? Mr. Jinli doesn’t mind his seven-step memory loss either.

Now look at the mess I’ve made, dragging my wife into it, complicating matters even more, and challenging my moral compass.

Indeed, it would be better to remain oblivious.

Amnesia.

I wish I could have amnesia too.

Pretend I didn’t hear anything just now.

Li Yunzi will soon arrive at the Imperial City, how am I supposed to face her?

I can’t just meet her and ask, “Do you remember what happened in the dungeon?”

Nan Lingsha, oh Nan Lingsha.

Are you the devil?

We could have just discussed your issues, why did you have to involve my wife!

The Dragon Country of Clouds is truly a holy land of the Supreme Court.

After staying here for a week, my dragon pets all seem to have been nourished by the spiritual rhyme of this place.

Particularly Little White.

After consuming the Saint Fruit of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree, Zhu Minglang even felt that it would advance to the next level soon!

This was much earlier than expected.

“Zhu Minglang, that is the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye, which can explosively increase the growth rate of your Spirit Realm, making three days equivalent to several years. With this spirit eye, before leaving the Dragon Country of the Clouds, Little White can reach the Complete Period!” Mr. Jinli called out excitedly.

Zhu Minglang lifted his head and saw a sea of clouds in front of him.

The sea of clouds undulated, and at a distance, there was a cloud eye, where countless rainbow glows could be seen nearby, like water currents being slowly sucked into the vortex, pouring into the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye.

One could see a large group of dragon beasts, encircling the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye, all vying for the right to occupy that place, many of them reaching Monarch Level!

“With so many dragons wanting to fight over that territory, securing a spot there won’t be easy,” Zhu Minglang said.

Indeed, cultivating there would be excellent.

Even for the God and Mortal beings, staying there for a few days could lead to a qualitative leap in strength.

“You guard for one day, I’ll guard for the next,” Nan Lingsha obviously took a great interest in the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye as well.

“That’s fine. Otherwise, constant fighting will make it difficult to cultivate with focus,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

This Cloud Sea Spirit Eye was also a unique phenomenon in the Dragon Country of the Clouds, much like a rainbow after the rain, formed under certain specific conditions.

The opportunity was indeed rare; one entered the Dragon Country of the Clouds for the purpose of finding such natural spirit eyes to leapfrog in strength once again.

Nan Lingsha’s suggestion was very good.

They both needed the condensed spiritual energy of such spirit eyes for cultivation.

But in the Dragon Country of the Clouds, there were many more powerful beings, all equally eager to plunge into it to absorb the treasures granted by nature.

If a large group of creatures entered the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye at once, the spiritual energy would be dispersed to each creature, greatly reducing the effect.

Since it’s about concentration, naturally having one person alone would yield the greatest benefit, but the process of absorption requires complete focus, making it difficult to concentrate on fighting.

Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha could take turns guarding for each other, which meant they both would absorb all the spiritual energy!

“I’ll guard first; you’re restless. It’s a good time to adjust yourself within the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye,” Nan Lingsha said.

Restless?

Where was he restless?

Was his steadfast heart really shaken just by those few words of Nan Lingsha about Li Yunzi!

Nan Lingsha was clearly underestimating him.

Was it just because she possessed a dual spirit and four souls?

There were moments when Zhu Minglang always thought Nan Lingsha was possessed by a ghost, wrapped around by the soul of her deceased sister.

Since they were both alive, what was there to be restless about?

Even Fang Niannian had guessed that Sister Lingsha had two souls.

How could he not be prepared for that!

However, there was no point in arguing over who went first, so he let Nan Lingsha guard for him.

“Miss Lingsha, I am grateful,” Zhu Minglang said, still very polite.

“Who told you I am Nan Lingsha?” She laughed, her smile carrying a hint of allure and teasing.

Zhu Minglang had already settled down cross-legged, ready to absorb the rare spiritual rhyme of the world, but that laugh from Nan Lingsha distracted him, making him somewhat dazed again.

Nan Lingsha extended her palm and opened her Spirit Realm.

The Chi Dragon flew out, its body sleek and jade-like, graceful and beautiful. Among the cluster of dragons gathered near the Cloud Sea Spirit Eye, it was like a distinguished empress.

Its aura dispersed, the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, suppressing those Azure Dragons, Ancient Dragons, and Giant Dragons mixed with other strange bloodlines, as if it held a higher authority over them.

Standing atop the Chi Dragon, Nan Lingsha’s sleeves fluttered, with rainbow glows shining on her graceful and beautiful figure, further beautifying her like a fairy descending from a painting into the mortal world.

Zhu Minglang closed his eyes.

Her coy laugh kept appearing in his mind.

At this moment, he indeed felt restless.

It wasn’t Nan Lingsha.

It was Nan Yuso.

Although they didn’t know what had happened to each other, they seemed to have a special way of communicating, probably just needed to leave a note as a reminder.

And the originally capricious and fickle Nan Yuso seemed to finally not need to hide anymore.

That alluring laugh was meaningful.
