Chapter 234: The Side Effects of Twin Souls Turned Out to Be…
After Bai Yu got the answer she wanted from An Que’s mouth, she couldn’t be bothered to stick around any longer. The corpses outside were still not dealt with, all wrapped up like cocoons, and it would probably take over an hour to digest them all.
Standing outside, slowly enjoying the night breeze, she started chatting with Zhao Mingyue about what just happened.
Bai Yu recapped everything from start to finish.
Looking at the small and large corpses wrapped in bl**d Thread on the ground, it was like staring at tiny grave mounds. Suddenly, Zhao Mingyue understood Bai Yu’s hardships all too well.
With so many people in a melee, not to mention whether she would get hurt or captured to threaten Bai Yu, just thinking about the unprocessed site afterward made her feel queasy. She probably wouldn’t even be able to eat dinner later and might even have nightmares!
She really was too weak—her mental fortitude wasn’t as strong as she had thought.
“You two can just stay here and chat,” said the Dragon Lady, suddenly seizing control of the body and effectively kicking Bai Yu out.
“I’m not going to stick around to watch you two flaunt your love with your Twin Souls. When you get a Three Lives Soul, then I’ll come back to listen to your sappy conversations.”
“I’ll take care of Burning Heart’s heart myself. You don’t need to worry about it; with this, I can handle that j*rk.”
With Dragon Lady releasing her dragon state, she shot a glare at Zhao Mingyue, who was trying to stifle a giggle, and turned to leave, not wanting to start an argument.
Honestly, she just felt tired and sore all over.
If she really had the energy, she’d lean on Bai Yu and say something like, “Ouch, why’s it so brutal entering someone else’s body? I can’t take it!” just to annoy that little brat.
But she decided against it—this wasn’t the time for banter.
After finally getting her Twin Souls, that little brat was likely gloating inside.
No matter what she said afterward, that little brat would definitely come out with, “Hey, I’ve got Twin Souls with Bai Yu, and you don’t!”
Truly infuriating!
Waving goodbye to Dragon Lady, Zhao Mingyue couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling quite satisfied.
“Bai Yu, I wanted to ask earlier,” she pointed at the petite figure of Dragon Lady, “how on earth did that little brat turn into a dragon lady?”
“Honestly, I have no clue,” Bai Yu stepped into Zhao Mingyue’s shadow, “You’d have to ask her.”
“Forget it, I won’t pry into her business.”
“Then let’s head back.”
Dragon Lady could handle her own business with Burning Heart, and Bai Yu wasn’t worried about her at all. Her situation was different from Zhao Mingyue’s.
Calling over Lu Liangting, who was chatting with a male ghost not far away, the two voices headed towards the city. The empty battlefield behind them was left without a trace of bl**d or corpses—no amount of high-tech equipment could uncover a single thing.
When they reached the city, they first retrieved Bai Yu’s Embryo Body, then returned to their upscale hotel where they originally stayed.
By the time they got back, it was already past ten at night. Deciding not to leave, they would get a good night’s sleep before heading out. As for whether they would face revenge from the Gatekeeper by staying, Bai Yu wasn’t worried.
Let the Gatekeeper handle the Ghost Gate tonight; on the surface, it was just those ten or so female madmen fighting, but in the shadows, there were definitely others. Those female madmen were enough to give the Gatekeeper a headache.
Upon entering the hotel room, the first order of business was to take out the Twin Souls. Zhao Mingyue was practically bouncing with excitement to see if it was as useful as they hoped.
“Bai Yu, Bai Yu, come try it with me!”
With the Twin Souls held gently in her hands, when she pushed, her hand passed right through it—inside was a refreshing chill, making Zhao Mingyue feel like she could just slice it open and study it. How could a mist feel like this?
“I don’t know if this has side effects,” Bai Yu pulled out her own Twin Souls, furrowing her brow at how eagerly Zhao Mingyue was eyeing it.
Something told her that this Twin Souls might not be as easy to use as it seemed.
The sc*m Game only ensured that using it wouldn’t k*ll her and would offer some benefits, but never mentioned any downsides.
Suddenly, Bai Yu remembered that she forgot to ask about the Godmother back at the factory.
If she knew the attributes of this Godmother, maybe they could at least speculate a bit.
“You said it was definitely safe,” Zhao Mingyue tossed the black mist skyward, catching it expertly.
“It is definitely safe.”
“Then if it’s safe, let’s try it!” Zhao Mingyue poised the mist at her chest, preparing to press it in. “Is this how it works?”
“Yep.” Bai Yu sighed, not wanting to fuss anymore. Standing face to face with Zhao Mingyue, she mimicked her motion, pointing the mist at her own chest.
“Alright, I’ll count three, two, one, and then we both use it!” Zhao Mingyue’s expression grew serious—it was a big deal to her, “Three, two, one!”
As both exerted force, the Twin Souls smoothly fused into their bodies. Instantly, Bai Yu felt a wondrous change, as if an invisible hand was tying the threads connecting her to Zhao Mingyue into a tight knot.
Based on those two linked threads, bridges slowly began to form. The most intuitive feeling was that her perception of Zhao Mingyue had become clearer than ever. Whether it was the effect of this thing or not, when she looked at Zhao Mingyue, a sort of filter seemed to be on, making that little brat appear even prettier!
Even her aura seemed significantly improved—Bai Yu couldn’t help but think, “Today, this brat’s quite cute.”
That subtle feeling of closeness kicked in whenever she got within a certain proximity to Zhao Mingyue, making her want to stay near her and never part. The bizarre sensation of having a missing piece of her soul found in front of her left Bai Yu astonished—this effect was downright impressive!
She didn’t even need to guess Zhao Mingyue’s state or thoughts at that moment; just looking at her wide eyes sparkling with a want for love made it clear that this brat was affected way more than she was.
Could this thing be like a percentage increase in bond?
Their relationship was already good, so the effect was more pronounced—conversely, if they were strangers or had no bond, using the Twin Souls wouldn’t yield any noticeable reactions.
Breathing grew heavier, and her heart raced.
It felt like she could sense Zhao Mingyue’s position and state anytime, anywhere.
No, wait—this wasn’t an illusion. Unless they were incredibly far apart, she genuinely could feel Zhao Mingyue’s state; she could find her position with her eyes closed.
There would be no awkward feelings using Zhao Mingyue’s body again after obtaining the Twin Souls—it would be smooth sailing.
This really was a fabulous item; considering the difficulty of this mission, it was only natural that the rewards would equal the efforts!
Wonder what Mingyue’s doing right now?
Why hadn’t that brat pulled her in for a bath today? It was so quiet!
Once they got back, she should spend more time taking her shopping for cute clothes. That brat was adorable—people relied on good looks, after all.
Then they could rent a big house, and after expanding the bathroom, bathing wouldn’t be such a hassle.
Wait…
Bai Yu abruptly snapped back to reality, suddenly realizing why her thoughts had started spiraling!
Not only that, but her body was also heating up from the inside out, as if a fire of desire was slowly burning within her—she felt an unbearable itch, and deep within, a voice was longing for something.
Feeling parched and restless, her body started to itch uncontrollably—she instinctively wanted to cross her legs…
What was worse, this desire kept increasing and spreading, soon engulfing her entire being. It was maddening, especially down below; she had no idea what kind of feeling this was.
Why did she feel so… empty?
With her cherry lips slightly parted, releasing hot breath, Bai Yu suddenly found herself in Zhao Mingyue’s embrace. The electrical shock-like contact nearly produced a sound that most definitely wasn’t befitting of her. She bit down on her back teeth, trying to stay clear-headed, fists clenched tightly, legs squeezed together.
Her body felt like it was on fire, and she couldn’t control the urge to rip her clothes off…
Fine, it turned out she didn’t even have to, as Zhao Mingyue, seizing the moment, suddenly tackled her onto the bed, her entire weight crashing down. Those little hands couldn’t keep still, sporting a grin that looked like a creepy uncle had just successfully lured a little loli.
“Hehehe, Bai Yu, Little Yu~”
“So fragrant, so soft, so comfy~”
“But why are you so hot?” Zhao Mingyue’s eyes were glazed over, leaning in close to Bai Yu’s face, swaying a little like she was tipsy, and before she knew it, she planted a kiss on Bai Yu’s lips, pulled back, then did it again!
“I’m so dizzy~”
Bai Yu quickly blinked, arching her body back, only to feel Zhao Mingyue’s hands supporting herself, preparing to rise.
Before she could celebrate, Zhao Mingyue faltered, and BAM! Their lips crashed together.
At that moment, Bai Yu realized why Qian Mu had been smirking earlier.
That old-timer had known the side effects of the Twin Souls all along!
He just didn’t say anything!
“Mingyue!” Bai Yu tried to wake Zhao Mingyue up, but instead, her shout only stirred up the “” within her.
Meanwhile, in the room across, Lu Liangting covered his ears, letting out a heavy sigh.
“How am I supposed to sleep tonight?”
