### Chapter 149: The Heart of the Dragon Lady
The Dragon Lady leaned back in her chair, letting out a long sigh.
She was strong, even more infamous than Bai Yu among many participants in the game, thanks to her utterly unreasonable nature. If she said she’d k*ll you, consider yourself lucky if you escape with your life. If not, she might just chase you to the ends of the earth.
You’d never know why she decided to k*ll you; it could be just because of a glance you threw in her direction or a mean word you uttered about her.
Now, the Doctor was a different case. As long as you didn’t provoke him or interfere with his interests, he usually wouldn’t k*ll you. Of course, should he decide to, his attacks were often fatal right off the bat.
One was a madman whose next move was utterly unpredictable, and the other was a cold-headed killer with overwhelming strength.
The feelings of helplessness and disappointment? Pfft! Those emotions weren’t exactly fitting for the Dragon Lady.
You wouldn’t even believe it if someone told you.
Yet at this moment, the Dragon Lady wore just such an expression.
Helpless, disappointed, with a touch of reflection.
“I love you so much that I want to peel your skin off and stick it onto mine. I want to disassemble your bones and carry them with me wherever I go. I want to chop off your head so we can witness everything together, traveling side by side and viewing all the beauties of the world. I want to consume your soul so we can be together forever.”
“So when I saw you with Zhao Mingyue in Eternal Life Village, I was completely lost.”
“Why is it like this?” I asked myself.
“I was afraid you’d find out, afraid Mingyue would see me, so I ran away. It wasn’t until I was far out that I remembered I had a new identity. Even if Mingyue saw me, she wouldn’t recognize me.”
“I wanted so much to see Mingyue, but I didn’t dare to reveal myself. I thought, just seeing her from afar would be nice.”
“You know, that kid, Mingyue, she’s so pitiful. Ever since she was little, it’s as if she dug up the grave of the Goddess of Luck in her past life. But she’s always been so strong.”
“I know it sounds ridiculous coming from me, but honestly, Mingyue is the second person I love the most, after you.”
“You’re like her, yet also very different; you’re a lover, and she’s family.”
“I don’t want to go into Mingyue’s past; just know that her being alive today isn’t because of me, but because of herself. If it were me, I wouldn’t have made it this far; I’d have gone mad ages ago.”
“Do you know what my greatest pain is? It’s not feeling any pain at all. My greatest sadness? Not being able to feel sad.”
“I’m just a lingering soul, not a complete person; without the sc*m Game, I would have already been scattered to the winds.”
“I want to experience joy and sorrow, I want to feel alive.”
“You know why I like you? Because every time I get close to you, I discover, hey, my once-dead, emotionless heart actually feels like it’s being stirred; I can feel joy! I get angry. I think to myself, d*mn, you look so cool wielding a kn*fe.”
“So I can’t help but throw myself at you, hugging you, even if it’s just a glance from afar.”
“Honestly, when I’m with you, I also wonder. It seems I’ve changed; I’m no longer Zhao Yi, I’ve become someone else. Who is this person? Her name is the Dragon Lady.”
“So tell me, am I Zhao Yi or the Dragon Lady?”
“I don’t know.”
“How should I face Mingyue? I mean, we can’t both like you, can we?”
“Did you know? I actually could return to my normal self if I found the other fragments of Zhao Yi’s soul.”
“But I don’t want to do that. If I absorb those fragments, I’ll completely become Zhao Yi.”
“I am Zhao Yi, yet I don’t want to be Zhao Yi.”
The Dragon Lady spilled a lot of words, filled with details mostly about her and Zhao Mingyue. Honestly, she never thought of hiding it. She guessed Bai Yu would ask those questions, which is why she intentionally provoked Zhao Mingyue, getting her to storm off.
Who would have thought a day like this would come for the Dragon Lady?
She knew she could only be with Bai Yu. Only with Bai Yu did she feel alive. She didn’t understand why things were that way, nor did she care. Who cares about why, as long as she felt alive?
She even wondered if Bai Yu was Zhao Yi’s other half of the soul; otherwise, why would it be like this?
Later on, she confirmed that Bai Yu was simply Bai Yu, not related to Zhao Yi.
Since she could only be with Bai Yu, she also wanted Bai Yu to only be with her.
So how could they stay together forever?
Little did she expect that in this world, Bai Yu would be so close to Zhao Mingyue.
That was a good thing, at least for Zhao Mingyue. It was like pulling the ace right from the start.
It was through knowing Bai Yu that the Dragon Lady recognized he had a bit of a ‘tough on the outside, soft on the inside’ vibe.
He killed ruthlessly but was undeniably good to the one he cared for.
Zhao Mingyue was lucky to win Bai Yu’s affection.
“Is there a way to complete the soul?” Bai Yu asked.
“There is, but I haven’t found it yet.” The Dragon Lady shrugged. “Just don’t go looking for the other fragments of Zhao Yi’s soul. I don’t want to, and I’m not willing to.”
“I know how.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m currently after an organization called the Ghost Domain. The people there hunt ghosts to make soul elixirs. If you take one, it might just help complete your soul, so you get all the pieces without worrying about turning into Zhao Yi.”
At those words, the Dragon Lady’s eyes sparkled, and she almost rushed over to give Bai Yu a big hug.
“Really? Bai Yu, you’re my savior!”
“Don’t get too excited too early. This organization is mysterious and not easy to deal with.”
“That’s fine; as long as there’s hope, it’s all good.”
“Yeah, if I find it, I’ll let you know.” Bai Yu glanced at Zhao Mingyue’s direction as she walked away. “Before that, we need to head to Eternal Life Village to deal with some matters—Mingyue’s situation.”
“Of course! Even if you didn’t go, I would. Are you sensing it too?”
“Yep, there’s an Evil God in Mingyue.”
“Looks like we’re on the same page.” The Dragon Lady rubbed her fists, her gaze returning to its usual sharpness. “The thing inside Mingyue is called Burning Heart Goddess, the eldest among the four goddesses, and she’s extremely powerful. I can’t handle her right now.”
“But with you, I’m reassured. If we can’t win, just tell Mingyue to not be jealous, and then you’ll possess me.”
The Dragon Lady licked her lips, a wave of excitement building inside her.
Letting Bai Yu possess her and merging their strengths to take down enemies?
That was something she never dared to imagine before.
Bai Yu’s swordsmanship combined with her abilities?
Wow!
Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyue returned in a huff, holding three bottles of drinks, secretly deciding to ask Bai Yu for something good tonight!
But inside her, the Burning Heart Goddess couldn’t quite shake off an uneasy feeling.
As an Evil God, her instincts warned her that bad things were coming.
