15 Zi Xunyi: I’ll Take the Lead
Yan Zhen was becoming increasingly confused.
Zi Xunyi claiming to be reborn was already unbelievable, but now she was saying she was reborn but not completely reborn?!
This…
“What exactly is going on?”
Zi Xunyi lowered her head dejectedly. “It should be related to the Jade Firmament Violet Fire within my body.”
Yan Zhen’s eyes narrowed at the mention of this.
The Jade Firmament Violet Fire, ranked ninth on the Extreme Flame List, was known as the noblest Extreme Flame, born in the highest heavens and said to possess the ability to communicate with the divine.
It was incredibly powerful, capable of subjugating any Extreme Flame ranked below thirty-six and using them for its own purposes. It also possessed a purifying power that protected the mind and countered inner demons, repelling all evil, the complete opposite of the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, which absorbed negative emotions.
In ancient times, it was called by another name, “Heavenly Cleansing Fire.”
“Could it be that the Jade Firmament Violet Fire mistook you for an inner demon and separated your consciousness?”
Zi Xunyi nodded slightly. “That should be the case. And I possess the talent of ‘dual consciousness,’ so even after my consciousness was split into two, they can exist independently.”
Damn, that’s incredible!
Yan Zhen had read countless novels, but this was the first time he had heard of someone being reborn only to have their own power treat them as an inner demon! How… unfortunate.
Goddess wife’s image, shattered!
Zi Xunyi’s face was filled with grievance, her pitiful appearance evoking sympathy. But Yan Zhen couldn’t help but feel speechless, imagining her being… tormented by herself.
—I can’t even avenge you!
He couldn’t exactly beat up his current wife to vent for his future wife, could he?
Yan Zhen closed his eyes, trying to calm down and understand Zi Xunyi’s situation.
His wife was reborn, but not completely. His daughter was also reborn with her, but lacking a physical body and unable to reside in her sea of consciousness, her consciousness was fading.
Yan’er was perfectly fine, so why was Ling’er having problems?!
These were all issues not mentioned in the script, making Yan Zhen frustrated.
“Husband, every word I’ve spoken is true.”
“I believe you. After all, you know so many secrets about me. I have no choice but to believe you.”
Mainly because he had the script and already knew that Zi Xunyi was his future wife. He was mentally prepared. Otherwise, he might not have been able to accept it so easily.
“Husband…”
“Then where is Ling’er—our daughter—now?”
“Ling’er is currently sealed within the depths of this dreamscape.”
Zi Xunyi formed a hand seal, and a mirror appeared before them, showing the image of a young girl, around twelve or thirteen years old, with features resembling Zi Xunyi.
Yan Zhen instantly felt a connection to her. There was no doubt that this little girl was his other daughter, Yan Lingji.
Yan Lingji was sleeping in a chaotic void, her face pale, her small body slightly translucent, a stark contrast to Yan Yan.
Seeing his daughter like this, Yan Zhen felt a tightness in his chest, his mood darkening.
The script didn’t describe Yan Lingji much, only mentioning her briefly in the epilogue.
Unlike her mischievous older sister, Yan Lingji was quiet and obedient, preferring to read in the study, her voice soft and gentle, her personality somewhat introverted. She was only close to her family.
Besides them, Yi Xian’er, who was very close to Zi Xunyi, was considered half-family. As for others, including Ji Ya, Yan Lingji was shy and would hide behind her parents whenever she met strangers.
“How is she doing?”
“She’s getting weaker by the day. Within a year at most, I’m afraid Ling’er will—”
A year… Yan Zhen frowned and said, “I’ll ask Master. Perhaps she has a solution.”
“Master Chen Xi can’t help in her current state.” Zi Xunyi had no hope. “At this time, she should only be at the Demigod realm, still trapped within the Fire Refining Starry Sky, her powers limited… It’s best not to trouble her.”
Yan Zhen also cared about Beautiful Master and didn’t want to burden her with more worries.
“Then what should we do? We can’t just do nothing and watch Ling’er disappear.”
“There is a way.”
Zi Xunyi bit her lip and whispered, her words enlightening Yan Zhen, as he had done something similar recently.
To ensure Cai Lian became pregnant, he had stayed in the Water City palace for three extra days, working tirelessly from day to night, filling her to the brim.
Seeing Yan Zhen’s stunned expression, Zi Xunyi blushed and continued, “A year is just enough time… As long as I conceive soon, Ling’er can reside within the developing fetus and be born safely.”
Yan Zhen scratched his cheek awkwardly, realizing why she had urged him to come to the Inner Academy and give birth to Ling’er quickly. She had already planned this.
“Husband~” Zi Xunyi suddenly embraced Yan Zhen, her ample breasts pressing against him. Her beautiful face close to his, she whispered, “I know you might not be able to accept your wife and daughter from the future yet, but Ling’er doesn’t have time to wait—please save her, okay?”
The intimacy of their souls was even more intense than physical contact. Even with their clothes on, this simple embrace felt more pleasurable than their usual dual cultivation.
Zi Xunyi quickly noticed Yan Zhen’s reaction and smiled shyly. “Husband, do you agree?”
—Hey! I haven’t said anything yet! Don’t assume my… lower half’s agreement is mine!
Yan Zhen turned his head away, not daring to look at Zi Xunyi’s beautiful face.
This was the most beautiful face he had ever seen, her features perfect, every expression captivating. In the script, she was described as “the perfect woman.”
So perfect, she almost seemed unreal.
“It’s not a matter of whether I agree or not, but whether you, or rather, your current self, agrees.”
Yan Zhen hadn’t forgotten that they were in a dream. Both he and his perfect wife were just consciousnesses. Even if they were intimate, they couldn’t conceive a child.
“That requires long-term planning, but we can do something now.”
“What can we do?”
“We can… dual cultivate using the Spiritual Union chapter of the Emperor and Empress Yin-Yang Grand Art,” Zi Xunyi said shyly. “The fusion of our Spiritual Powers will create a Yin-Yang energy that can stabilize Ling’er’s consciousness and slow down its dissipation.”
That worked too?
“Are… are you sure?”
Zi Xunyi nodded slightly. “In my previous life, when Ling’er was born, her soul was too strong, making her soul and body prone to separation. That’s how we, as husband and wife, stabilized her consciousness.”
Yan Zhen scratched his head. “Then what should I do?”
Zi Xunyi stood up, straddled Yan Zhen’s lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, “…Husband, don’t worry about it. I’ll… take the lead.”
