Chapter 2345: Misunderstanding Getting Out of Hand

Zu An was both surprised and really happy to hear thaat. “How does big sis empress know?”

Mi Li rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you already have a premonition that the two of you would reunite again?”

Zu An was speechless.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Mi Li said in annoyance. “Even ordinary people who do their best to carry out divinations can develop some vague revelations, let alone powerful cultivators. Furthermore, you’re much stronger than normal high-level cultivators, because you're also good at divination skills. Your serious efforts definitely won’t bring completely false results.”

Zu An realized something. In his previous world, when he was playing games, he had sometimes felt a sudden burst of inspiration, getting the sense that he would definitely do well that day if he went for the gacha. He could even immediately strike gold... There were many other similar examples. Could that have been a mysterious power of fate?

He took out a tortoiseshell scrying tool. After learning the Baopu Sutra, he was already proficient in divination. Even though he'd been worried that he would end up as a slave to fate and rarely used it, he had already fully internalized that skill. Sometimes, he unknowingly had some premonitions about the future.

Indeed, it seemed that it wouldn’t be that long before he would meet with Xie Daoyun again. His spirits immediately rose when he had that thought.

...

Zu An said goodbye to Mi Li, and his soul returned to the cave. He handed the medicine and poison materials to Ji Xiaoxi. Thank goodness he had this little divine physician, or else he would be wasting all of these precious texts!

Pei Mianman keenly sensed the changes to his mental state and remarked in surprise, “Ah Zu, I feel as if you're now a bit different from before.”

“I gained some more clues about little sister Ling’er’s situation, so I couldn't help but feel a bit happier.” Zu An couldn't really explain everything. Instead, he began to discuss their plan going forward. They were all really surprised, but they all went to carry out their own missions.

Zu An then found some time to go to Jiang Luofu’s room. He asked, “Big sis principal, how do you feel right now?”

Jiang Luofu was sitting on her bed in meditation. When she heard what he said, she opened her eyes and sorted out her clothes. She moved her legs over to sit on the edge of the bed, replying, “Xiaoxi took a look at me earlier and gave me some medicine. I’m already much better.”

“Do you need me to help you with your recovery?” Zu An knew this was an injury from the Monster Lord, so he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

Jiang Luofu hesitated, but she still shook her head and said, “There’s no need. You have a lot of important things to do right now. I can just recover on my own.”

“Ensuring all of your safety is my highest priority.” Zu An walked over with a smile. “It’s no trouble; the others are preparing the formation materials and I have a bit of free time to help you with your injuries. I only roughly dispelled the Monster Lord’s power in the storeroom, but there's likely still a bit left. It might end up affecting your future cultivation.”

When she saw how sincere he sounded, Jiang Luofu didn’t continue to object. “Then I won’t be refusing your kindness. My soul is being contaminated by some malicious power. I can’t get rid of it no matter what I do.”

Previously, during the sudden upgrade that came from the world beacons' energies combining, her strength had risen to the grandmaster rank. She had just managed to cultivate her soul. If it was affected so soon by the Monster Lord, it could leave behind some deficiencies. Forget about improving in the future, even her life could be in danger.

When he heard that, Zu An didn’t dare to show any carelessness and said with a serious expression, “Release your soul. I'll find a way to get rid of all of the nefarious power.”

If it was the body, it was easy to heal, but apart from specific medicines, a soul could only be treated with a soul.

Jiang Luofu exclaimed in surprise, “That’s a bit unsuitable, right?”

Zu An was stunned. “What's unsuitable about that? We need to heal you as quickly as possible to deal with future dangers. The malicious energy inside of you was probably left inadvertently, but if it gets more out of hand, the Monster Lord might even discover it. That would be a real danger.”

Seeing the clear look in his eyes, Jiang Luofu realized that he didn’t have any bad thoughts. Besides, they were in great danger right now. If his time was wasted because of her and that ended up ruining everything, causing their companions to be in danger, not even dying ten thousand times would make up for the consequences.

We’re all warriors here, so what’s the use in being so wishy-washy about it?

She bit her lip when she realized that. “Al... Alright.”

She sat on her bed and quickly collected herself. A soul body gradually left her head.

The yin spirits grandmasters first cultivated feared the sun more than anything else, and they couldn't go too far from the body. However, the two were inside a cave and there were formations everywhere. Zu An had also set up a lot of defensive formations around them, so there was no risk of the yin spirit being damaged.

Jiang Luofu’s yin spirit was rather faint in color, and it was as intangible as a clear wind blowing. Even so, it was a precise match for her appearance and figure. However, her mouth was wide open as she looked at Zu An’s soul.

Why is his soul the exact same as his body?

If she hadn't his soul leave his body herself, she would’ve even thought that it wasn't a soul, but Zu An himself!

But more importantly, why does he have clothes on?

Zu An’s eyes were completely wide too. He was also full of question marks.

Why doesn’t she have any clothes on?

And yet, calling her completely naked wasn’t quite correct. Jiang Luofu’s soul was wearing silk stockings. But apart from them, there wasn’t anything else. Her arm was covering her chest, but she had such an amazing figure, so how could that block it completely? Her legs were closed and one hand was covering her bottom.

The usually cold Jiang Luofu looked really flustered. Her original body was already completely red in the face. She did her best to close her eyes, but her body was still shaking slightly. Her pale white skin had turned a bit rosy, as if she had a bit to drink. Her skin had never been this red before.

Zu An quickly turned around and said in alarm, “Sorry. I didn’t know your soul would appear like this.”

He was even a bit at a loss. Whenever he'd seen himself, Mi Li, or others, they'd all all had clothes on. They looked no different from the real person, which was why he had suggested this treatment method. Jiang Luofu had probably been too embarrassed to explain these things, and yet he'd insisted that there was nothing wrong with it. He was now so embarrassed that he wanted to run away and hide.

Inside her mysterious soul space, Mi Li was almost rolling on the ground laughing.

One could say that this kid is dumb, and yet he’s usually exceptionally cunning. But even if you were to say he was bright, he often makes these kinds of mistakes.

In the end, Zu An was a transmigrator, and didn’t have a lot of common knowledge regarding cultivation.

When cultivators broke through into the grandmaster rank and first cultivated their souls, they were practically like infants. Their soul bodies wouldn’t have any clothes. But as their cultivation solidified and they cultivated regularly, they would then be able to gradually make their souls just like their bodies. Not only would their soul become sturdier, they could also imitate the clothes they normally wore.

However , Jiang Luofu had suddenly risen to the grandmaster rank not too long ago when the worlds were being merged. Furthermore, they had gone to the Monster World not too long after that, so she hadn’t had time to solidify her cultivation and refine her soul. That was why she was in this kind of situation, and why they'd ended up in such an awkward situation.

When she saw how Zu An frantically turned around, Jiang Luofu said quietly, “You’re a soul right now, so you can probably see even if you turn around, right?"

She could see every corner of this room. She could even see Zu An’s expression although he was turned around. His cultivation was much greater than hers, so how could he not be the same?

Zu An was now even more embarrassed. “I’m really sorry.”

Just what kind of a situation was this? He clearly hadn’t planned for this, and yet it was as if he'd done it on purpose. He really felt wronged!

Jiang Luofu was really embarrassed too, but when she saw how awkward Zu An was, and that he wasn’t like his usually confident self, it was as if she was seeing that inexperienced young man back in Brightmoon City again. Her panic gradually subsided.

She moved behind her own body to use herself to block the view. Even though she knew that his soul could still see everything, she at least had her physical body in front of her. She calmed herself down quite a bit and said, “This should be enough. You can turn around.”
