Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 372 Soul Calling
Lin Jiang stared at the shadow behind Jiang Jinyue's soul.

The shadow seemed to surge out of Jiang Jinyue's body, its shape strikingly similar to Chang Li outside, its eyes tightly closed, like a baby falling asleep.

At this moment, this soul was not coexisting with Jiang Jinyue; rather, it seemed to have been forcibly extracted from the depths of her soul.

Upon seeing this, King Qi, in his spirit form, couldn't help but frown:
"That's strange, something's not right."

"what happened?"

“Even if she had dissociative identity disorder, her soul shouldn’t be like this under normal circumstances,” King Qi gestured with his hands, but Lin Jiang didn’t understand what he meant at first. He only heard him continue:
"She looks more like her soul has been altered, and she has become a different person inside and out."

"What's going on? Is someone sabotaging us?"

"It doesn't seem so; there's no magic flowing through her three souls and seven spirits. But I've never seen anything like it before."

King Qi shook his head: "Logically speaking, even if the person who pointed to the stars used some means to preserve their soul, such a strange change should not have occurred."

As he said this, a fleeting look of... infatuation crossed his face.

Just as a person obsessed with paintings might glimpse a precious painting by Liang Huashan, or one might see a handsome man, King Qi was also captivated by this unique soul.

Lin Jiang coughed lightly, and only then did King Qi realize that he had been slightly impolite. He coughed lightly again, adjusted his expression, and became more serious.
"In short, given the current situation, even if the soul can be restored, the girl's thoughts have probably already undergone significant changes."

"Isn't there any way to solve this?"

“I do have a solution,” said the King of Qi. “I have two more methods here.”

Are you sure both of your methods are reliable?

"What do you mean?"

“Last time, your first idea was to have her get a star on the spot, but I thought that was a bit unreliable.”

"Now that you mention it, neither of these two methods is perfect."

The King of Qi said helplessly:
"My first method is to separate the divided souls and immediately preserve the remaining parts of her soul. In this way, the girl can maintain her true self, but she will be weak for a long period of time, which may even affect her future path."

"What's the second method?"

"I will deal with that soul and temporarily seal it away. Then you two will call her soul back to its place. This method will keep her spirit intact, but I cannot guarantee what might happen in the future."

One option is to completely eliminate the hidden dangers, but this will damage the future prospects; the other is to maintain the status quo and plan for the future.

Lin Jiangxin knew that this matter was of great importance and that it was not advisable to make a hasty decision.

Ultimately, it's Jiang Jinyue's future, and how to choose between it and what to do is a decision she must make herself.

But right now, a host of problems have arisen.

Seeing her so lost and dejected, Lin Jiang couldn't even bring himself to ask her anything.

Should we go out and ask her guardian?
Lin Jiang ultimately couldn't trust Li Guang.

Just as Lin Jiang was pondering, he suddenly noticed that the separated soul behind Jiang Jinyue not far away had undergone some changes.

The soul suddenly opened its eyes and stared intently in Lin Jiang's direction.

Lin Jiang could clearly detect a hint of curiosity in the woman's eyes.

But soon, the woman realized that Lin Jiang was hiding something.

That initial look of curiosity instantly turned into intense anger.

This wisp of soul actually rushed straight towards Lin Jiang's direction!

It seems to intend to attack Lin Jiang!
Lin Jiang suddenly felt a jolt in his mind.

What happened? I didn't do anything! Why did you hit me?
King Qi was slightly taken aback. He stretched out his hand, and a dark light suddenly appeared in his palm.

The shadow landed precisely on the woman in front of him.

The next moment, several chains appeared out of thin air around him, locking him firmly within his consciousness.

After finishing this task, King Qi slowly turned his head to look at Lin Jiang: "Don't worry about it anymore, I have already sealed your soul."

After saying this, King Qi smacked his lips slightly:

"Did you do something to wrong this girl before?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

"No."

This is the first time he's seen this face; how could he have offended the other person before?

More importantly, he could clearly feel that the soul had come at him with murderous intent.

Lin Jiang boasted that he hadn't done many shady things that would provoke someone to want to kill him, and the few who did have such intentions were all dealt with properly by him.

It shouldn't be like this. His thoughts were in turmoil when he suddenly felt someone poking his soul. Looking down, he realized it was the small ginseng root floating at his feet.

Little Ginseng blinked and asked Lin Jiang:

"Shouldn't we call back the soul?"

“Yes, indeed.” Lin Jiang glanced at the scene before him.

Jiang Jinyue's mutated soul had been completely sealed off, and the shadow-like woman closed her eyes again, remaining completely still.

But after considering everything that had happened, Lin Jiang nudged the small ginseng:

"Why don't you go and call back the soul?"

Lin Jiang was really unsure whether it was appropriate for him to approach at this moment, but it wouldn't be a problem for Xiao Shanshen to go over.

Xiao Shanshen was clearly a little nervous upon hearing this, but she still nodded and floated towards Jiang Jinyue's direction.

Halfway down the river, she suddenly remembered a very important question:

What should I do if I get there?

King Qi said, "While thinking about the things you two have experienced and met, say her name, preferably repeating it several times. I have prepared a soul-calling technique; just say it and she will come."

Xiaoshan nodded in understanding. She moved closer and then gently called out in Jiang Jinyue's direction:

"Master, Master, you taught me kung fu."

He called again, but there was no response. Little Ginseng thought for a moment and then said:
"Master, Master, please take me out for some food."

Jiang Jinyue's brows twitched.

Upon discovering that it was effective, Xiao Shanshen immediately perked up. "Master, Master, you used to talk badly about your mother to me."

"Master, Master, you told me that you used to be able to take on twenty people by yourself in the martial arts world!"

“Master, Master, when you were drunk you told me you wanted to find a man who could carry stone lions on his shoulders…”

Jiang Jinyue suddenly opened her eyes.

Lin Jiang noticed that the scenery around him was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, you're awake."

After the last note from the King of Qi, Lin Jiang opened his eyes again.

He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Jinyue, who was being held in his arms.

She rubbed her forehead, her eyes filled with confusion.

When Jiang Jinyue realized she was being held by Lin Jiang, she didn't show the shyness that most women would have. She simply nodded to Lin Jiang and said, "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Jinyue pressed her head and said:

"I have a feeling that... someone just said a lot of bad things about me..."

King Qi clicked his tongue twice:

"Others call back the soul by expectation or by family affection, but this is the first time I've seen someone call someone back by shame."

Although Jiang Jinyue was awake, she was clearly in poor spirits. She rubbed her forehead listlessly, her steps unsteady, and she could barely stand.

After thinking it over carefully, he turned his head to look at the smug little ginseng in Lin Jiang's sleeve.

Jiang Jinyue's expression began to change.

She stared intently at the small ginseng plant, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"A small ginseng."

"what happened?"

Did you just say something?

"The King of Qi asked me to call back his soul, so I told him some things about what happened between us!"

"whats the matter?"

"It's just like……"

Little Ginseng thought for a moment: "It's like last time when you were drunk, you said..."

Jiang Jinyue strode directly to Xiaoshan Shen and covered Xiaoshan Shen's mouth with her finger.

"I know, I know."

Xiaoshan Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had just said. She happily put her hands on her hips, very proud.

Helpless, Jiang Jinyue could only sigh, "Never tell anyone about these things again."

Xiao Shan Shen didn't understand, but she could sense that Jiang Jin Yue seemed very disappointed, so she nodded seriously, indicating that she would not do this again in the future.

Jiang Jinyue's expression was somewhat subtle at this moment, but seeing the little ginseng's appearance, Jiang Jinyue really couldn't say anything harsh.

All I can do is sigh helplessly.

After calming herself down, Jiang Jinyue finally turned her head to look at Li Xingguang.

Their eyes met. Li Guang stared at Jiang Jinyue's face for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"You really are her."

Centrifugal light spoke very softly.

It's so faint that it's almost impossible to hear unless you listen very carefully.

Jiang Jinyue's health isn't very good right now, so she shouldn't be able to hear.

Just then, a breeze blew through the woods, carrying the words slowly forward until they reached Jiang Jinyue's ears.

At that moment, Jiang Jinyue felt as if a roar was echoing in the depths of her heart.

It was as if something that had always been in my heart had shattered at that moment.

Many of Jiang Jinyue's words surged up his throat, but when they reached the middle of his throat, they were pushed back down into his stomach.

She felt that whatever she said now was useless.

Jiang Jinyue spoke politely and courteously to Li Xingguang:

"Lord Li, do you wish to return to Daxing? Or have you already betrayed your country?"

Just like in the very beginning, Jiang Jinyue intended to say that to Li Xinguang.

Li Guang seemed to realize this as well. She remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply without offering any explanation.

“I have never betrayed Daxing, but I admit that my previous actions have clearly deviated from my original intentions and caused a negative impact. I will go back with you, and I will accept whatever sentence the Ministry of Justice sentences me.”

Jiang Jinyue closed her eyes, her already weak body becoming even more unsteady.

Lin Jiang glanced at the awkward pair and sighed:

"There's something else I need to talk about, but that's not it."

Everyone looked at Lin Jiang with suspicion.

"This isn't the place to talk." Lin Jiang glanced at Chang Li. "Could we find somewhere else to talk?"

Everyone else's eyes turned to Chang Li.

Changli suddenly felt the pressure increase.

What else could she say?

He could only nod stiffly.

"welcome."
