Although his strength has indeed reached the second tier, Xia Jian is not happy at all.

Xia Jian might have held onto a sliver of hope before, but seeing the character "异" (different) after the Demon Transformation Spell undoubtedly further confirmed his speculation.

That black book was indeed more bizarre than I had imagined!

I initially thought that as long as I didn't get close, everything would be fine, but now it seems that things are obviously more serious.

Even though it was sealed away in the Wizard's Tower, it could still affect me from such a distance, yet I knew nothing about that book.

Moreover, Xia Jian didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but judging from Westin's change, the outcome was not optimistic and was likely to be a bad thing.

Xia Jian particularly disliked this kind of unknown change, just like he felt powerless when facing Mu Shuang.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Mu Yan asked expressionlessly, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Much better."

Xia Jian smiled, then remembered what had happened before: "By the way, didn't you say there was good news? What good news?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan stiffened. Xia Jian didn't want to continue the topic, but then Mu Yan seemed to have made up her mind, stood up, and leaned down to kiss Xia Jian's cheek.

This action made Xia Jian's eyes widen, and he looked at Mu Yan, whose face was slightly red, with disbelief.

Although the two did have feelings for each other, and he had done some mischievous things in the past, this was the first time Mu Yan had responded to him like this.

"I need your help with something."

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Of course, your business is my business!"

Xia Jian sat up, his face contorted in pain as soon as he finished speaking.

My body is still too weak. I didn't expect the aftereffects of forcibly stopping my promotion to be so severe.

"If one day you need to make a decision, promise me you will choose Mu Shuang."

Mu Shuang looked at Xia Jian with an expectant expression.

But Xia Jian frowned involuntarily after hearing this.

What does it mean to choose Mu Shuang when making your own decision?

If I had to choose between Mu Yan and Mu Shuang, I would never choose Mu Shuang, even if I had to use my butt to decide. After all, who would choose someone who is mentally unstable?

If it weren't for Mu Shuang, he might have already wandered the world.

amount……

Wandering?

It seems like staying here isn't so bad.

However, on the other hand, Mu Shuang is always acting strangely, and being with her puts a lot of mental pressure on me.

Especially after learning that Mu Shuang was a ruthless killer, the fact that she accepted him was definitely not out of a change of heart, but rather because she had some kind of unspeakable secret.

In this situation, it would be crazy to choose Mu Shuang.

Suddenly, Xia Jian had a sudden thought, and a different idea came to mind.

"Why don't we leave here together?"

Xia Jian held Mu Yan's hand and said softly.

Even if Mu Yan is weaker than Mu Shuang, it shouldn't be a problem for her to take me away from here.

At that time, the sky's the limit, and I can take Mu Yan anywhere for a stroll. Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

This time, Mu Shuang did not pull her hand away, but a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I can't leave here, and I can't leave Mu Shuang."

"You have a long life ahead of you, you shouldn't stop here. We are destined not to be together."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Jian to speak, Mu Yan covered her head and turned to leave the room.

Looking at the empty room, Xia Jian's farewell words kept echoing in her mind, and she couldn't help but murmur softly, "Are you two two souls or two personalities...?"

"You're not stupid either."

Mu Shuang's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Xia Jian looked up and saw Mu Shuang leaning against the door frame with a playful smile on her face.

Looking at the clothes that were a size too big for Mu Shuang, which were also the clothes that Mu Yan had just worn, Xia Jian fell silent.

The two had never appeared together before, and at that time, Xia Jian suspected that the two people might be the same person.

The problem now is that he doesn't know if the two people are two souls in one body, or if one of them is a secondary personality resulting from schizophrenia.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian felt a little sad.

Because he already knew the answer, he just didn't want to believe the result.

If they were two souls in one body, given the abilities of a fourth-tier wizard, the two would probably have separated long ago.

But the fact that they didn't separate is enough to explain the problem.

Based on Mu Yan's words, Mu Shuang is most likely a secondary personality, because kindness and weakness are more likely to give rise to a powerful personality.

At this moment, Mu Shuang walked to Xia Jian's bedside and sat down, looking at Xia Jian with a strange smile on her face.

"Hehe, if I die, you will definitely die, but Mu Yan might survive. You're such a scaredy-cat, I'm curious to see what you'll choose."

Mu Shuang's tone suggested that she was certain that Xia Jian would die if she did.

After a long silence, Xia Jian suddenly spoke up and asked, "If I choose you, will you live?"

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on my mood, but I probably won't be in a good mood then, so your chances of surviving aren't high."

Mu Shuang smiled, seemingly unconcerned about Xia Jian's choice.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I choose you?"

Xia Jian raised his head, staring at Mu Shuang's eyes with an unfriendly expression and asked.

Although she didn't know what Mu Shuang was planning, she was certain that she held a very important position in it, and might even have the power to decide who lived and who died.

"What you're saying is pointless. Mu Yan and I are the same person, so it doesn't really matter who you choose."

Mu Shuang sat on Xia Jian's lap, pinched Xia Jian's cheek, and continued with a smile, "Choosing me doesn't necessarily mean you'll die, but choosing Mu Yan definitely means you won't survive."

"And even if you survive, choosing Mu Yan won't make her happy. Her weakness is what made me who I am, and she will also resent you for not choosing me."
