Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“Two souls?”

Xu Ming looked at Zhou Wanfeng, completely puzzled.

“Shall we talk somewhere else?” Zhou Wanfeng looked at Xu Ming with a smile, gesturing towards the room.

Xu Ming nodded, knowing this wasn't a topic for discussion here: “Then let's talk outside in the courtyard.”

“Let's talk in your room, people have been in your room before~” Zhou Wanfeng teased.

Xu Ming: “…”

“Young Master Xu, don't worry, this is your territory, I can't possibly force you down.”

What if that princess gets jealous? What if I die in Wudu?

I finally just got out, I don't want to die so soon~

Because the matter was urgent, Xu Ming let her take some liberties: “Come with me.”

Xu Ming led Zhou Wanfeng to his courtyard.

After growing up, Xu Ming had always lived with Xu Pangda, but because Xu Pangda was still working outside, the courtyard was only occupied by Xu Ming.

Zhou Wanfeng walked into Xu Ming's room.

Xu Ming's room had long been cleaned spotlessly, without a speck of dust.

As for the furnishings in Xu Ming's room, they were exactly the same as when Xu Ming left a year ago, without any changes.

This was also to prevent Xu Ming from feeling uncomfortable.

Although Xu Ming was just an illegitimate son, he was not valued at all, like a little transparent person on the side.

But it must be said that when Xu Ming became famous, the Xu residence's "icing on the cake" was indeed very thoughtful, not letting go of even the smallest details, for fear of angering Xu Ming again.

And this also perfectly matched Xu Ming's stereotype of the nobles in Wudu.

They admit their mistakes faster than anyone else, and once you have any value, they will try their best to please you. If you have no value, they won't even look at you.

Actually, it's not just in Wudu.

Most of the nobles under the heavens are basically like this.

Although Xu Ming's relationship with the Xu residence wasn't very good in the past, but now that the Xu residence is treating you well, you can't hit a smiling face, you can't possibly level the Xu residence after you've made your fortune, right?

“This is your room? It's really simple, and this courtyard is also relatively small. Is this how your Xu residence treats you, the Number One Scholar?” Zhou Wanfeng asked Xu Ming.

“They offered to change me to a larger courtyard, but I'm not used to it. I chose this courtyard myself,” Xu Ming said.

“Alright~” Zhou Wanfeng also knew that Xu Ming did this mainly because he didn't want to receive too much favor from the Xu residence.

Without Xu Ming's permission, Zhou Wanfeng sat directly on the edge of Xu Ming's bed, gently patting it.

“Even the bed is so hard.”

“I prefer to sleep on a hard bed,” Xu Ming said.

Zhou Wanfeng pouted: “But when I kneel on the bed, my knees will turn red.”

Xu Ming: “…”

Xu Ming naturally knew what Zhou Wanfeng was talking about, but Xu Ming simply ignored her.

“Now you can talk, what exactly happened to my mother?” Xu Ming asked.

“I certainly don't know the specifics, after all, I didn't do anything to your mother, but no matter what, there are only two possibilities.”

Zhou Wanfeng lay sideways on Xu Ming's bed, her ru skirt draped over her body, highlighting her plump figure.

Xu Ming suddenly thought of a saying from his previous life—"This kind of woman creates waves when you bump into her."

Xu Ming quickly put the words he had seen in the short video behind him.

Short videos are really harmful.

“Just now, Young Master Xu's eyes were a little lecherous~ But I don't hate it~ If the young master wants, we can have further exchanges~”

As she spoke, Zhou Wanfeng slightly pulled down the collar of her Xiong mouth again, revealing a delicate patch of snow-white skin.

Xu Ming wasn't so innocent as to turn his head away, but instead looked at Zhou Wanfeng calmly: “I prefer to stop when I've made my point, Senior, please hurry up and speak.”

“Hmph~” Zhou Wanfeng seemed very hot, lifting her skirt to the root of her thigh, revealing her two round, well-proportioned, and full thighs intertwined, “Young master really doesn't know how to appreciate the fun.”

Zhou Wanfeng yawned: “A person's body can only have one soul at most, this is something that ordinary people know, but when will two souls appear?

The first point is that the soul has been seized, but it has not been completely seized, and the two souls are still fighting for control of the body. This situation is often seen in some cultivators whose physical bodies have died, but their souls have escaped, so they seize a person's body to 'regenerate'.

The second point is that it's innate. What does this situation refer to? It means that when some souls are reincarnated, something goes wrong, and two souls enter the same body, so two souls appear.

This kind of manifestation usually appears very early, commonly seen in two personalities.

Of course, it's also possible that one soul has entered a dormant state, but one day, another personality suddenly awakens. At this time, there will also be two souls in one person's body.

The last point is that someone has sealed their own soul.”

“Sealed?” Xu Ming frowned.

Xu Ming could understand the first two points that Zhou Wanfeng said.

But Xu Ming really didn't know what was going on with the last point Zhou Wanfeng said.

“That's right.” Zhou Wanfeng's lips curled up, then she took off her clothes, wearing only a red peony bodice, exposing large patches of her fair skin.

Zhou Wanfeng was only wearing a pair of red underpants below.

Wu Country's underpants are actually "briefs."

That's right, this world actually has "briefs." This kind of pants was brought over from the Western Regions. Because it's more convenient and not hot in summer, most Central Plains women wear them, mostly made of soft silk.

It can be said that Zhou Wanfeng, with only these two pieces of clothing left, presented her fair body in front of Xu Ming, and even if Zhou Wanfeng made a slightly larger movement, the bodice couldn't cover Zhou Wanfeng's two major study points.

“Come and massage my shoulders~” Zhou Wanfeng beckoned to Xu Ming, “I'm too tired, only the young master can help me relax so I can say it better~”

Xu Ming: “…”

For the sake of his mother, Xu Ming could only step forward.

Zhou Wanfeng's lips curled up, and she lay on the bed, her two large soft breasts compressed a little out of shape.

Xu Ming massaged Zhou Wanfeng's shoulders, and Zhou Wanfeng continued to say: “Some cultivators, in order to hide themselves from being deduced by some great power, will seal their souls after going incognito. This is similar to sealing their memories, but it's done more thoroughly.

Then, in this new body, a new soul will gradually be produced. This new soul is acquired, and you can understand it as a new memory. When the original soul no longer wants to continue hiding and feels it can come out, two souls will appear in the same body.

At this time, there are generally three results: the original soul regains control of the body, and the soul that was later produced becomes part of the original soul.

The second is that the souls share a body.”

Xu Ming frowned: “Is it not possible for the soul that was later produced to seize control of the body?”

“Impossible.” Zhou Wanfeng shook her head, “The strength of the two souls is not on the same level at all. Anyway, in my opinion, this kind of thing can never happen.”

Xu Ming: “…”

“Is there a way to find out which situation my mother is in?” Xu Ming asked.

“There is, but I don't have it, but the 'Taoist' might.” Zhou Wanfeng turned over from the bed.

Just as Xu Ming was about to withdraw his hand, Zhou Wanfeng clasped Xu Ming's hands on her Xiong mouth: “I can help you contact the Taoist, how about it?”

“Then I'll have to trouble Senior.” Xu Ming pulled his hand out of Zhou Wanfeng's palm and “study points,” causing Zhou Wanfeng to give Xu Ming a coquettish glance.

But Zhou Wanfeng didn't continue to push her luck: “Give me a letter-transmitting flying sword, I'll write him a letter. You rescued him from Three Stone Peak, he will definitely come to help you, but even if he comes, it will probably take more than a month or two. During this time, Little Brother Xu must not be exposed~”

“I won't.” Xu Ming walked out of the room.

“Little Brother Xu, don't you want to sleep with Sister?” Zhou Wanfeng called out to Xu Ming, “Little Brother Xu, don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you, I just want to enjoy myself with Little Brother, and Sister doesn't need Little Brother to be responsible, just treat me like a prostitute~”

“I don't like going to brothels either.” Xu Ming walked out of the room, ignoring Zhou Wanfeng.

Watching Xu Ming walk out of the door and thoughtfully close the door, Zhou Wanfeng stretched lazily on the bed, hugging the quilt that Xu Ming had once slept on: “He's really a young man, doesn't know the goodness of an older sister~”

As she said that, Zhou Wanfeng took a deep breath of Xu Ming's quilt, her eyes showing a strange look: “It's been a year, and this quilt still has residual essence, maybe he can really help me break through…”

Xu Ming slept in Xu Pangda's room.

Xu Pangda's room was also cleaned every day, so it was very clean.

It's just that Xu Ming didn't sleep very peacefully, always feeling that Zhou Wanfeng might launch a night attack on him, so Xu Ming thought for a while and set up a magic formation.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Xu Ming paid his respects to his mother.

After a night of rest, Xu Ming felt that his mother's complexion seemed a little better, but it was only a little.

Xu Ming didn't ask his mother, "How have you been feeling lately?" or "Does it feel like there are two voices in your mind, Mother?"

Doing so would undoubtedly be alarming, so Xu Ming pretended as usual, as if he hadn't noticed anything, only reminding his mother to take care of herself.

Xu Ming took Sheng Sheng to wander around Wudu, buying her some candied hawthorns and candied fruits.

Then he took Sheng Sheng to the Princess's mansion to see Wu Yanhan.

Upon seeing Wu Yanhan, Sheng Sheng happily leaped towards her, and then Wu Yanhan kept Sheng Sheng behind to practice boxing.

At first, Sheng Sheng was quite unwilling.

It wasn't that she didn't want to practice boxing, but it was just that Xu-gege had finally returned, and she wanted to spend more time with him.

However, Sheng Sheng heard Wu Yanhan say, "Practicing boxing cannot be abandoned halfway, nor can you be lazy. Don't you want to protect Xu-gege?"

Sheng Sheng immediately perked up.

After Sheng Sheng stayed at the Princess's mansion to practice boxing, Xu Ming went to visit his former friends.

After all, it had been more than a year since they had last met.

He also inquired and found out that Li Han and the others were still alive and had all become centurions.

Especially during this time, Emperor Wu, considering that Xu Ming would visit friends after returning, had specially granted Li Han and the others a vacation.

If there were no accidents, they should be on vacation today.

Arriving at the entrance of a courtyard, Xu Ming gently knocked on the door.

Before long, a woman came out.

The woman had delicate features, not quite a beauty that could topple empires, but she could indeed be considered attractive, at the level of a village belle. But for some reason, Xu Ming always felt a strange smell.

Through the gate, Xu Ming saw many children in the courtyard.

The courtyard was not small, but the number of children seemed to be at least a hundred.

"Could this be an orphanage?" Xu Ming thought to himself.

"I am Xu Ming, a comrade-in-arms of Li Han from the Blood Floating Pagoda. I apologize for the intrusion. I wonder if Li Han lives here?" Xu Ming asked, wondering if he had come to the wrong place.

"So it's the Number One Scholar, I'm honored," the woman bowed slightly. "Li Han often mentioned your name to me."

"May I ask who you are, Miss?" Xu Ming didn't know how to address her. Could she be Li Han's wife?

"My name is Ye Ye, Ye as in leaf, Ye as in night, and I am considered Li Han's older sister," Ye Ye bowed slightly.

"Greetings, Elder Sister Ye," Xu Ming greeted.

"Li Han seems to be returning home from the army today, but he hasn't returned yet. Please come in first, young master," Ye Ye said to Xu Ming.

"Then I'll be intruding."

Xu Ming followed her into the courtyard.

However, the further he went inside, the stronger the strange smell Xu Ming had smelled earlier became, as if it were...

Demonic energy?!

"The longer demons live in a place, the heavier the demonic energy becomes."

A sentence suddenly popped into Xu Ming's mind.

"It shouldn't be, right?" Xu Ming was shocked.

But what if?

Xu Ming activated his Dao Pattern Eyes.

After the latest evolution, Xu Ming's Dao Pattern Eyes had a certain ability to see through demons.

Xu Ming was worried that there might be some lurking demons in this courtyard, threatening the safety of everyone.

Xu Ming's gaze swept across the courtyard, but he didn't observe anything unusual.

However...

When Xu Ming's gaze lingered on Ye Ye in front of him, Xu Ming frowned.
