She only said, “Saning, can I skip the memorial service?”
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Jianjian. I replied, “You have to go to the service; otherwise, your mother will haunt you for the rest of your life.”
“But…” Jianjian started to say but fell silent. She blinked and hesitated, and I couldn’t help but smile at her.
The little girl was trying to play games with me, and now it was exposed! The fact that she didn’t continue meant she didn’t trust Zhang Dexin, especially after mentioning that strange person earlier.
Connecting the dots, it had to be about Zhang Dexin. However, I didn’t ask; I knew Jianjian wouldn’t tell me anyway. Just a little thought.
Ke'er was still talking with Wind Tree.
Noodles squatted by my feet.
Now with Jianjian added into the mix, sleeping arrangements would be tricky. There was only one bedroom in the apartment, so it seemed like Jianjian, Ke'er, and Wind Tree would have to sleep in the bedroom.
That left me to suffer alone on the sofa.
“Husband, come here,” Ke'er suddenly called out. I turned and walked over to her. She was holding Wind Tree’s hand and said, “Husband, we must help Wind Tree come back to life; she’s so pitiful.”
I nodded in agreement. Wind Tree gave me a playful wink, looking harmless, while Ke'er seemed genuinely concerned.
I wondered what this little brat had said to Ke'er.
As the saying goes, three women make a play. After some back-and-forth about sleeping arrangements,
Ke'er and I ended up on the sofa. Just to clarify, my sofa is one of those sofa beds that can be used as a couch during the day and a bed at night. But I was quite excited!
Originally, Ke'er was unwilling to sleep with me tonight, but Jianjian came and made it happen. Jianjian then took Wind Tree to the room to sleep.
That night, I held Ke'er as we slept, and by the middle of the night, I had some intentions in mind.
However, as soon as I kissed Ke'er, she playfully scolded me, saying, "Husband, someone is here."
"What should we do then?" I asked, feeling the tension building.
Ke'er was lying on top of me, and through the dim moonlight filtering in from outside, I could see her big, watery eyes clearly.
Suddenly, Ke'er giggled a few times and said, "Husband, what do you want to do?"
The contact between our bodies ignited my desire. I didn't want to speak; I just wanted to express myself through action. As I leaned in for another kiss, just as things were heating up...
The lights turned on.
Then I saw two girls, one big and one small, standing in front of my head, holding hands.
I was completely stunned.
I heard a voice say, "Brother, what are you and sister doing?" Wind Tree innocently asked.
Jianjian's face turned bright red, looking quite embarrassed. Ke'er was also shocked and quickly said, "Husband, let go of me."
I hurriedly released my grip; fortunately, we were covered by a blanket and still dressed.
Once I regained my composure, I quickly let go of Ke'er. She got off the sofa while I sat up. I turned to Jianjian and Wind Tree and asked, "Why are you two out here instead of sleeping?"
To be honest, I felt quite awkward at that moment.
"Brother, this sister said there was some noise outside, so we came to check," Wind Tree replied.
Jianjian's face turned even redder as she hurriedly explained, "I was afraid my mom would come, so I didn't dare to sleep..." After saying that, Jianjian quickly added, "Then I'll go to sleep," and pulled Wind Tree inside.
Ke'er and I exchanged glances.
Ke'er looked at me with a hint of reproach and said, "Husband, it's all your fault."
I awkwardly replied, "It's all my fault, blame me." For the rest of the time, I simply held Ke'er while trying to sleep, but sleep eluded me.
With a wish for a Revival Pearl weighing on my mind, I asked Ke'er in the darkness, "Ke'er, can the Relic bring you back to life? I heard from Wang Wei that the Relic can resurrect the dead and extend the lives of the living."
The last time I asked this question, Ke'er had skillfully diverted the topic, as if avoiding it.
Now, in the stillness of the room, I posed the question again. Ke'er nestled in my arms remained silent; I thought she had fallen asleep, so I called her name.
But Ke'er said, "Husband, please don’t talk."
I sighed. Ke'er reached up to touch my brow gently and began to smooth it out. I asked her what she was doing.
She replied, "Husband, you frown because of me. I want to help smooth your brow and make you happier. You don’t need to worry about my matters; I understand."
I grew anxious and said, "Ke'er, your matters are my matters too. We are married now; you shouldn’t say things like that anymore."
Ke'er climbed onto me and stared into my eyes before giving a small nod.
"Can the Relic not bring you back to life?"
Ke'er shook her head slightly.
Ever since returning from East City Ruined Temple and learning that the dead could be resurrected, I had become obsessed with obtaining a Revival Pearl.
But why did I still desire the Revival Pearl when Ke'er was right here beside me? Deep down, I knew—I wanted Ke'er to be an ordinary person so that we could live an ordinary life together.
We locked eyes, and in the end, neither of us said anything, as everything was left unspoken. I thought to myself, was it just the Relic that was lacking? Was there something more?
We held each other through the night until dawn, and the night passed without incident. The next morning, just as the sky began to lighten, there was a knock at the door.
I crawled off the sofa, still groggy, and opened the door. As soon as I did, a woman with disheveled hair burst in.
I called out, "Wang Wei, can't you change your appearance?"
Wang Wei replied, "What’s the point of changing? My body is almost gone."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Wang Wei explained, "Last night, I found my own body and discovered that someone had occupied it."
I didn’t quite understand what Wang Wei meant at first, so I asked for clarification. With a dark expression on his face, he said, "Damn it! It’s an Evil Being that took over my body. But there's still a trace of my Remnant Soul left in it. To put it simply, my body has been possessed by someone else."
"Your body has been possessed? Why not just take it back? Aren't you a ghost?"
Wang Wei looked miserable and said, "If only I could take it back! Just look at my face." He then pushed aside the hair covering his face and pointed. "Look here, here."
It was clear that Wang Wei was seriously hurt. I told him, "But that's not even your body; if someone hits you, you won't feel pain!"
However, what Wang Wei said next left me stunned. He said, "Otherwise, why would I call him an Evil Being? He can hit my body without me feeling pain; the key is that he’s attacking my soul. If I hadn’t run fast enough, he would have almost pulled my soul out of my body."
After hearing this from Wang Wei, I was taken aback. Getting hit in the soul? Maybe I could do that because touching Ke'er felt no different from touching a living person.
Could this be another function of my eyes? To let me directly touch souls and beat them up without any issue?
But I really was slow to realize this! It only just clicked for me.
At that moment, Ke'er also walked over and looked at Wang Wei. "Did you just say your soul was almost pulled out?"
Wang Wei tapped his head lightly.
Ke'er couldn't help but frown. She glanced at me and then called me "Husband." In the next moment, it dawned on me.
It seemed that the soul of the Wind Tree had also been forcibly stripped away.
Wang Wei saw Ke'er and me exchanging glances and assumed we were flirting again, so he remarked, "You two are really cheesy! Saning, I'm trying to discuss serious matters here."
I replied calmly, "Wang Wei, I understand."
Wang Wei continued, "It's infuriating that my body is currently occupied by someone else!"
Aren't you also occupying someone else's body? I thought. Wang Wei disagreed; he believed that once he found his own body, he would return it, while that Evil Being clearly had no intention of doing so.
I knew there was still a trace of Remnant Soul within Wang Wei's body, which was why it hadn't decayed.
I asked Wang Wei where that person was and how I could confront him. Someone who could strike a soul must either possess powerful magic or be capable of treating souls as if they were living beings, just like me.
Wang Wei didn't respond to my question but instead pulled out an object. Upon seeing it, my expression changed involuntarily.
