Chapter 1319 Luckily I didn't lose my memory, otherwise I would have had to call two dogs.
Chiling's soul froze in mid-air for a moment.
She slowly raised her finger and pointed to her almost transparent nose tip, her voice filled with disbelief and hesitation.
"Ergou...me?"
"Yes, Er Gou, you."
Ning Ruan repeated confidently.
Chiling: "..."
Chiling fell silent.
There was a long silence.
A good ten breaths passed.
It was only when Ning Ruan began to suspect that her soul was unstable and she was about to faint again that Chi Ling finally spoke again.
The tone was extremely complex:
"Ning Ruan, I was lying to you."
Chi Ling's voice was still weak, but her lifeless eyes were full of spirit.
She said, "I haven't lost my memory. I know who I am."
After saying that, she seemed to feel it wasn't enough, and added another sentence, her tone clearly showing relief and lingering fear.
"Luckily, I didn't lose my memory, and I know who I am."
"Otherwise, does that mean we really have to call him Er Gou (Second Dog)?"
“I lied to you too,” Ning Ruan said without changing her expression, casually tossing the Soul-Nourishing Jade between her fingers. “I know you haven’t lost your memory.”
She paused, looked at Chi Ling, a faint smile curving her lips, but her tone was unusually serious.
"But if you don't admit it, then you really have to call yourself Er Gou."
Chiling: "..."
She fell silent again.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere became strange.
In the end, it was Chiling who broke the silence first.
She no longer dwelled on the issue of her name.
He looked up and glanced around, his gaze sweeping across the endless void beyond the carriage before finally settling back on Ning Ruan. His brows furrowed slightly. "I...amn you already dead?"
“You were dead.” Ning Ruan said succinctly, pointing to the Soul-Nourishing Jade in her hand, “But didn’t I bring you back to life?”
"Oh, to be precise, it's not exactly that I saved you."
“You weren’t quite dead yet. They locked your soul inside your body, preparing to turn you into a corpse puppet.”
"So I extracted your soul, that's all."
"..."
Ning Ruan made it sound simple, as if it were nothing to mention.
But Chiling isn't stupid.
This brief summary sounds very concise.
But she could easily imagine the dangers and twists and turns involved.
Having escaped the Eternal Domain and traversed the Boundless Realm, she precisely located two Nascent Soul Realm Nether Phoenix Clan cultivators, and was determined to retrieve her soul from their grasp...
Which of these tasks is easy?
"How did you find them?" Chiling asked.
Ning Ruan leaned back on the soft couch, shifting to a more comfortable position. She rested her chin on one hand and played with the Soul-Nourishing Jade in the other.
"They captured a prisoner, and I had him lead the way."
"A prisoner?" Chi Ling was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "The one captured by the ten major races?"
"Correct."
Chiling remained silent.
In a way, she died because of this prisoner.
The ten races went to capture prisoners and left her alone.
Now, Ning Ruan has used this clue, which she obtained at the cost of her life, to save her in return.
The cause and effect behind this is truly wondrous.
"Then... what about the other two members of the Nether Phoenix Clan?" Chi Ling asked again, her eyes revealing an undisguised coldness.
"Oh, them."
Ning Ruan spoke casually, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
"I'll accompany you on your journey."
Chi Ling's soul trembled violently.
Want to hit the road together?
Does this mean... to kill?
"You...killed them all?"
Ning Ruan corrected: "To be precise, I didn't kill him."
"Although I was indeed prepared to kill them, they were all dead before I could even make a move."
Chiling: "?"
"Who did this?"
Ning Ruan looked at Chi Ling's astonished expression and slowly spoke.
"They died of their own accord; it could be considered suicide."
"?"
Chiling's soul swayed in mid-air, clearly indicating that this answer was beyond her comprehension.
Two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators committed suicide?
Are you out of your mind?
"Why?" she asked instinctively.
"Who knows?" Ning Ruan switched the Soul-Nourishing Jade to her other hand, her posture languid. "Maybe she doesn't want to be captured and interrogated by the people of the Ten Great Races? After all, they seem to be hiding some incredible secret."
"But that's not important."
Ning Ruan changed the subject, her gaze returning to Chi Ling's illusory soul form, her tone calm.
"The important thing is, it seems you really can't be brought back to life."
"Not at least not now."
"So, until a way to revive you is found, you may have to live inside this jade pendant."
Ning Ruan shook the Soul Nourishing Jade in her hand.
Chiling: "..."
She looked down at her almost transparent hands, feeling the weakness emanating from her soul, and said indifferently:
"I know."
"I thought I was going to die, but now you've brought me back to life."
"At least you're still alive, aren't you?"
Chi Ling twitched the corners of her mouth. Although her soul form couldn't make many expressions, her pride was still there. "As long as you're not completely dead, there will always be a chance."
Compared to being turned into a mindless, manipulative corpse, this outcome is already far better than it could be.
She even felt it was somewhat unreal.
“Speaking of which…” Chi Ling looked around, then finally looked at Ning Ruan, “Are we… on our way back to the Eternal Domain?”
"No," Ning Ruan answered decisively.
Chiling was taken aback: "Then where do we go?"
"Go to the Jiao Clan."
"Huh? The Jiao Clan???"
A series of question marks almost materialized from Chiling's transparent soul.
"What are you going to the Jiaolong Clan for? Aren't you going back to the Eternal Domain?"
“Who said I wanted to go back?” Ning Ruan raised an eyebrow at her. “If you want to go back, I can find someone to send you back when we reach the next Eternal Domain.”
Chiling: "..."
"never mind."
She sighed helplessly.
"Since we're already dead, there's no point in going back if we can't be resurrected."
"I won't be going back for now."
What are you going to the Jiao Clan for?
Ning Ruan said, "Kill him."
Chiling: "..."
After a long pause, she finally asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
“Dragon Spirit Pearl,” Ning Ruan uttered slowly.
"..."
Chiling suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had heard about the feud between Ning Ruan and Long Lingzhu.
It is said that they became enemies at an auction.
It caused quite a stir.
In the end, Ning Ruan beat Long Lingzhu half to death.
The Jiao Clan has not yet explicitly stated that they intend to hunt down Ning Ruan.
She thought that was the end of it.
Even if someone were to hold a grudge, it should be the Dragon Spirit Pearl who resents Ning Ruan and tries every means to kill her.
Why is it reversed?
"So you... really hold a grudge."
Chiling's tone was extremely complex.
"Yes, I do hold grudges," Ning Ruan nodded, speaking with conviction.
Chiling: "...Are you going alone?"
Ning Ruan nodded: "Mm."
Chiling: "..." Madman.
Chiling wanted to say something more.
However, the soul, which had just awakened, was struggling to maintain its strength.
She could only silently retreat back into the Soul Nourishing Talisman.
Only a weak voice could be heard, "Ning Ruan, tell me, why did you save me?"
