Chapter 265 - Collectively Losing Souls (2/2)

Was she… stomping all over his heart? She was being a bit too brash about it, wasn’t she?

Xuan Tong looked meekly at Lonemoon. “Elder, why do I feel pity for Supreme Divinity?”

“It’s better to deal with painful things quickly than to allow them to drag on. Shen Ying already rejected him before. He is considered quite experienced with this pain.”

“Will he… be alright then?”

“Don’t worry, he’s just fallen out of love. He won’t die.” It was just a crush too.

“But he looks extremely heartbroken. Eh? He’s kneeling at the corner of the room! He looks so weak, like he’s going to be blown away by the wind any second. Will he really be alright?”

“…”

“Heh… Well, let’s talk about some serious business.” Lonemoon stepped forward and said in a serious tone.

Elder, you’re changing the topic, aren’t you?

“Shortie, is your primordial spirit alright?” He suddenly asked.

Xuan Tong nodded and looked thankfully at the man who was still kneeling at the corner of the room. “Supreme Divinity’s spirit spring is indeed miraculous. I feel like my primordial spirit is stronger than it was before. Even my cultivation level feels like it’s going to breakthrough anytime soon. I think I will soon be able to return to the immortal realm.”

“We can’t return to the immortal realm for now.” Lonemoon’s expression sank. “Because not only your primordial spirit is injured, but Chef’s as well.”

The moment he finished speaking, everybody but Shen Ying looked at him in shock.

“What!” Xuan Tong jumped to her feet. “Elder Yi Qing is injured as well! How can that be? Isn’t he a divine being now? What kind of person can hurt… Eh? Why are you all looking at me?” She paused mid-sentence and found that everybody was staring at her with eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”

“Shortie, you…” Lonemoon pointed at her lower body.

Xuan Tong looked down to find that there was a very familiar body lying on the table… it was her body!

She was transparent and floating in the air.

“Ah ah ah.. What’s going on?” Xuan Tong screamed. She instinctively flew back to her body. Suddenly, the body on the table sat up. Xuan Tong’s soul had returned.

“Indeed, there’s still a problem with Xuan Tong’s soul.” Lonemoon’s face fell.

“That can’t be!” Even Bai Ze was frightened to see what had just happened to Xuan Tong. He scanned her from head to toe and said, “My spirit spring does have recuperating functions. I even checked her primordial spirit myself – it was recovered. How can it be that her soul can still leave her body for no reason?”

“This has nothing to do with her primordial spirit,” Lonemoon answered. “This is because a part of her soul is missing.”

“You mean… that remnant soul!” Yi Qing suddenly remembered that array Mother Feng had.

“She is missing a part of her soul! But aren’t you and Bai Ze as well?”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you realise…” Lonemoon glanced from one to the other. “Each of you have a part of your soul missing as well?”

Bai Ze: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon frowned deeply and his expression darkened. “Shen Ying and I just found out about this as well. From the beginning, we thought only Shortie had a problem. Especially so when we realised that her remnant soul was trapped in the array we found in the Divine Underworld. But later, when I checked Shortie, I realised that apart from her unstable primordial spirit, there was nothing missing from her soul. At first I thought that the remnant soul was left behind before Shortie reincarnated. Perhaps the power of reincarnation made Shortie’s soul whole again, and that’s why her remnant soul from her previous life was left behind, but…”

“If her soul is complete, the remnant soul should disappear,” Bai Ze completed Lonemoon’s train of thought.

“That’s right.” Lonemoon nodded. “The weird thing was that the remnant soul did not just remain for a day or two. That proved that it did not exist from her previous life. The issue being Shortie did not have such a problem until she got injured by the ghost immortal’s Yin Qi. Later, Shen Ying reminded me that when Chef was in the egg, he too was exposed to Yin Qi. Hence, I decided to check on him as well. I found that although not obvious, his primordial soul was also in a state of mess.”
