Chapter 443 Illusion
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanxi's expression shifted. "You mean that more than 100,000 years ago, there was an ancient snake-beastman who looked exactly like me and my original body?"

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Jing Chu."

Wen Nanxi stretched out a hand, pinched the space between her eyebrows, and tried to think carefully, but she couldn't recall any familiarity with the name.

"Could he be the original body?"

"However, the main body's name is Nan Feng."

Su Muyao guessed, "I feel that Jing Chu could not be Nan Feng. Jing Chu is the name I gave him. He has a good personality, is sunny and kind, and would never do such a cold and ruthless thing."

Su Muyao had been with Jing Chu for several years, and she trusted her own judgment.

She believed that Jing Chu and Nan Feng were definitely different.

Jing Chu would never do something so cruel and heartless. Moreover, her appearance hasn't changed much. If Jing Chu were the original owner of this body, no matter how cruel and heartless he was, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to harm her.

She was the boy she had accompanied, so she naturally understood his inherent nature.

Wen Nanxi said, "Without emotional attachments, one will lack feeling no matter what one does."

Wen Nanxi had never met Jing Chu, so he would naturally have suspicions.

But he trusted his wife's judgment; if she said so, she must have her reasons.

“But if my wife says he isn’t, then he definitely isn’t.”

"Could you tell me more about it, my lady?"

He still had time, and he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Even if burning his soul essence for too long would cause more severe backlash to his body, he didn't want to leave.

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them sat down in the grass beside the mountain forest in the dream and started talking.

Su Muyao recounted how she entered the world of resentment and everything that happened when she met Jing Chu.

It includes many details.

"Would you be angry if I treated him well?"

Wen Nanxi hugged Su Muyao with heartache, "Silly girl, why are you angry? I know you're good to him because of me."

Because he looked exactly like him, his wife couldn't bear to see him hurt or sad, and only wanted to save and help him.

"I originally guessed that Jing Chu split into two bodies and became Nan Feng."

"But now it seems that's not the case."

Su Muyao had many questions in her mind. "But why does he look exactly like you? Could he be your past life?"

Wen Nanxi said softly, "Have you ever considered that Jing Chu might also be an avatar?"

"Because according to your description, Jing Chu couldn't possibly become like Nan Feng, so is he also a clone?"

Ancient celestial serpents are extremely rare, and these ones are exactly the same, even their auras are so similar, it is very likely that they all share the same origin.

After arriving on the Azure Beast Continent, he encountered very few snake-beastmen, let alone the ancient celestial serpent.

"Create...a clone?"

Upon hearing this guess, Su Muyao was stunned.

She had never considered this possibility.

"But Jing Chu has been himself since birth, how could he be a clone?"

"What we see and feel with our naked eyes is not necessarily the truth; sometimes the truth is beyond our imagination."

"Moreover, perhaps even the main body is unaware of Jing Chu's existence."

"He is an ancient celestial serpent beastman from more than 100,000 years ago, and perhaps he knows many things that we don't know."

"If we can find him, we should be able to learn a lot."

Finding the ancient celestial serpent beastmen is not so simple.

Even he could no longer sense the presence of his own kind.

"But now, more than 100,000 years have passed, and no one knows whether he still exists or what his existence represents."

"My awakened ancestral memories do not include this Jing Chu you mentioned."

Hearing these words, Su Muyao felt a sense of disorientation.

She even began to doubt whether everything in the world of resentment was real. Yet, she brought out the golden silkworm robe that the golden silkworm beastman Sang Yao had made for her.

The golden silkworm robe had protected her before.

Therefore, she also felt that everything in the world of resentment had actually happened and existed.

Su Muyao said, "Nanxi, I have a feeling, a firm belief, that Jing Chu must be real, that he must exist in this world, it's just that we don't know where he is now."

Wen Nanxi said, "If that's what you think, then if he were here, only you could find him."

"If he really is also an avatar, then the main body will definitely not be able to merge with me, so there is no need to worry about me."

Su Muyao grabbed Wen Nanxi's hand, her eyes filled with worry and panic, "But he's a madman, I'm worried he'll kill you."

"I discovered through time travel that he is particularly weak during his heat cycle. There must be a way to rescue you during this time."

Wen Nanxi could sense his wife's worry and anxiety towards him.

At this moment, he could truly feel his wife's care and love for him.

With this love, he felt he could persevere no matter where he was.

"Don't worry, he won't kill me unless absolutely necessary, because killing me would also greatly damage his own body."

"He's in a hurry to merge with me now because he wants to gain more power. It seems like he's eager to do something."

"The more someone craves power and authority, the less likely they are to make the decision to eliminate me."

"He will only try his best to integrate with me."

Su Muyao murmured, "Yes, he is indeed trying his best to merge with you."

Previously, in order to make Wen Nanxi agree to merge with him without any lingering attachments, the original body, Nan Feng, impersonated Wen Nanxi and spent some time with her.

During that time, the two of them shared a bed and slept in each other's arms, even though there was no intimate behavior.

Nan Feng must have suffered quite a bit during that period, given how much he loathed females.

Ah, so his ultimate goal is still integration.

But Su Muyao just couldn't let them merge, her biggest fear being that Wen Nanxi would disappear.

Now that she had heard Nanxi's words and knew that Jingchu might also be an avatar that couldn't be successfully integrated with the main body, she was relieved for the time being.

Su Muyao couldn't even get Wen Nanxi some life-saving magical artifacts at this moment.

Because this is a dream, an illusion.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanxi seemed to understand something. He felt another sharp pain in his heart, as if a hammer was constantly pounding on his heart, causing a suffocating pain.

Even the burning essence was somewhat unstable, and the body gradually became weaker and more transparent.

"Ayao, I... I'll find a way to kill him."

He was sorry to his wife. A Yao was so important to him that he would rather get hurt himself than let her get even a hair on her head. Yet, she was killed by Nan Feng once.

"No, no, don't be impulsive, don't kill him, he might still be useful."

Su Muyao had learned from the sea tribe that clones cannot kill the main body. Even if the clone dies with the intention of dying together, the main body will only be severely injured and will not die.

She absolutely cannot let Wen Nanxi take any risks.

"Promise me you won't act impulsively like this."

"But he killed you."

"You must have been in a lot of pain back then."

He had no idea how Ayao survived; she must have been in a lot of pain.

But he couldn't do anything.

Wen Nanxi hated herself at this moment.

Su Muyao's eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness. She was actually fine, but she felt sorry for Yue Wuhen.

She didn't even know when Yue Wuhen would come back to life.

But she clearly distinguished between the two situations and wouldn't blame Wen Nanxi for it.

She only blamed herself.
