Chapter 121 Otherworldly Soul
Qi Yan also took the opportunity to ask the Spirit of Extinction to try to mention the events of ten thousand years ago to Yun Zhao, so that perhaps the Spirit of Extinction could bring those things to light.
However, before the Spirit of Extinction could speak, the two had already reached the end of the road.
Before them stood two grand gates, resplendent in gold and inlaid with sparkling gems. The black inkstone, which Han Mujiao treasured, was adorned with at least fifty or sixty pieces.
The entire Hanmu Jiao was extremely excited. It flew to the gate in a flash and hugged the largest piece of black inkstone tightly.
"Waaah, I can't even imagine what a lively and cheerful little dragon I would be if I could have this black inkstone!"
"My darling, come home with me, I promise I'll treat you well~"
Han Mujiao's voice was sweet and affected, as if his throat was about to burst into flames.
Yun Zhao: "..."
Qi Yan: "..."
I got goosebumps all over!
Unfortunately, the Cold Wood Dragon could not become a lively and cheerful little dragon. When it tried to pry the Black Inkstone off, a golden light suddenly emanated from the gate, sending it flying two miles away!
With a miserable cry, Hanmu Jiao flew out of Yun Zhao's sight.
Before Yun Zhao and Qi Yan could go looking for it, it returned on its own, perched on Yun Zhao's head and whimpering, though its eyes remained glued to the black inkstone.
Seeing that it was mostly unharmed, Yun Zhao wanted to take a few steps forward to investigate what that golden light had been.
The door was still glowing. Yun Zhao activated his defensive magical artifact, fully armed, and stepped forward to gently push the door open.
The door is open.
Not only did it open, but Yun Zhao's hand happened to be placed on the black inkstone. Perhaps because it was too old, the black inkstone actually fell off the door and lay quietly in Yun Zhao's palm.
Black inkstone: Cleverly picked at will.
Han Mujiao instantly felt envious. "This thing treats people differently based on their status? Waaah, I, Han Mujiao, am dashing, handsome, wise, and dignified..."
It kept praising itself, which annoyed Yun Zhao, so he stuffed a black inkstone into its mouth.
Han Mujiao wasn't annoyed. He hugged Wu Yanshi and laughed like a big, fat child weighing three thousand pounds.
For Yun Zhao and Han Mujiao, this was an unfamiliar place, but for Qi Yan, it was a familiar place to revisit.
He had thought that seeing the old residence would remind Yun Zhao of something, but seeing Yun Zhao enthusiastically discussing with Han Mujiao which gemstone was more valuable, he gave up on that idea.
Seeing that Hanmu Jiao was urging Yun Zhao to close the door completely, Qi Yan interrupted them, "Zhao Zhao, let's go in. The Spirit of Extinction said that the Demon Transformation Grass is inside."
"Hmm? The Spirit of Extinction said? You can understand what it's saying?"
Yun Zhao's focus had veered off course, and Qi Yan nodded, "Just now I suddenly could understand what it was saying, and it said it could also talk to you."
"really?"
Yun Zhao poked the Spirit of Extinction perched on her shoulder, "Little guy, talk to me, okay?"
The Spirit of Extinction: "..."
Well, actually I haven't made up my mind yet, and besides, this isn't the place to talk.
Regardless of its thoughts, things had come to this point, so it had no choice but to change its chirping into human speech and call Yun Zhao "sister".
Yun Zhao was taken aback. "Did I hear that right? Why does your voice sound so much like one of my friends'?"
After some hesitation, the Spirit of Extinction confessed everything to Yun Zhao in this very place.
"Senior Sister," the Spirit of Extinction, though held in Yun Zhao's hands, dared not look Yun Zhao in the eye, "It's all my fault. I caused you to lose your loved ones. I... I will make it up to you. Whatever you want, I will..."
To be honest, Yun Zhao is a bit confused right now. In the original plot of this book, the original owner's parents died because of some things that happened in the Qingyun Sect.
However, according to the little boy—no, it should be the Spirit of Extinction—the plot is wrong.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, Yun Zhao only knows that she is not the original owner of this body, and it seems that she cannot forgive the spirit of extinction that is related to the cause of death of the original owner's parents.
During the few seconds that Yun Zhao hesitated, the Spirit of Extinction thought she disliked it too much and was unwilling to talk to it, so the whole spirit became listless.
My senior sister has stopped talking to it. Does she not want to see it at all anymore? Will she treat it as an enemy from now on, never to see it again, even in death...?
The Spirit of Extinction's mind was in turmoil, filled with wild and random thoughts.
"Senior sister, you don't need to answer me."
Imagining that Yun Zhao would regard it as an enemy, it closed its eyes, steeled its heart, and recounted the past that Qi Yan had asked it to tell Yun Zhao.
The Spirit of Extinction has decided that once they leave the secret realm, it will disappear from its senior sister's sight and secretly protect her, hoping that one day its senior sister will forgive it...
Because they had a spiritual connection with the Spirit of Extinction, Yun Zhao and Qi Yan, who had glimpsed its thoughts, were speechless.
Imagining things is a disease!
Yun Zhao was overwhelmed by a flood of information. She couldn't think about whether she could forgive the Spirit of Extinction on behalf of the original owner. All she wanted to know was whether what the Spirit of Extinction said was true.
“It is indeed true,” Qi Yan nodded. “Zhao Zhao, we did know each other ten thousand years ago.”
Qi Yan discovered that after the Spirit of Extinction spoke for him, he could also mention the events of ten thousand years ago to Yun Zhao.
"Wait," Yun Zhao made a pause gesture, "All of you be quiet, let me sort this out."
After sorting things out for a while, Yun Zhao came to a conclusion—the original owner of this body actually had such a touching past and present life with Qi Yan!
Wouldn't that mean she's interfering in someone else's relationship...?
Qi Yan, who was hoping that Yun Zhao would sort out some clues and remember some memories, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
He subtly tightened his collar. There was no wind, so why was he cold?
Fortunately, before the word could even cross Yun Zhao's mind, the system suddenly appeared, "Don't overthink it! Host, you are the original owner!!!"
Who knows how terrified it was when it sensed Yun Zhao's thought while enjoying its rare moment of leisure?
What on earth happened? How could its dear host have such a thought!
After spending a second understanding the cause and effect, the system breathed a sigh of relief.
Did Qi Yan think about their past and present lives?
Oh, never mind then, it's off on its vacation...
"Wait," Yun Zhao called out to the system, "What did you mean by what you just said? Explain yourself before you leave!"
What do you mean by "she is the original owner of this body"?
To prevent the system from slipping away, Yun Zhao quickly added, "If you keep avoiding the topic, I'll kill myself right now!"
The little paws conjured by the system paused. With a bitter expression, it considered the consequences of Yun Zhao's suicide and finally decided to stay obediently and let Yun Zhao interrogate it.
Under Yun Zhao's persistent questioning, the system confessed.
Ten thousand years ago, Yun Zhao died and entered the cycle of reincarnation. However, because her soul was eroded, half of her soul was sent to the modern world to recuperate by the system, while the other half was reincarnated as Yun Zhao, the daughter of Yun Yan, the young sect master of Qingyun Sect.
Everything was fine at first. Yun Zhao grew up in the love of her family. However, people with unstable souls are easily possessed by wandering ghosts. When Yun Zhao was sixteen years old, a soul from another world took over her body.
