The Heavenly Maiden Yan heard these words, and a bitter, self-mocking smile appeared on her delicate snow-white face.

She said softly: "Has Young Master Jun ever heard of the Shell People?"

"Shell People?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan continued: "The Shell People are a very peculiar race. They are weak, but they possess a special ability to nurture pearls within their bodies."

"So, many people raise and enslave the Shell People, and when the pearls inside their bodies mature, they cut open their bellies to extract the pearls."

"Although I am not one of the Shell People, my situation is quite similar."

"I and that Ling Yuan are one body with two souls."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

The so-called one body with two souls means that within one physical body, there exist two souls.

This is an extremely rare condition.

Generally, it may occur during fetal development.

Normally, when a baby is born, one soul would devour the other to strengthen itself.

But in very rare cases, the two souls coexist in one body.

Of course, in such situations, the only way to resolve this is to separate one of the souls.

In the best case, a new body would be created for it.

In the worst case, it would be directly annihilated.

Obviously, the Heavenly Maiden Yan belongs to the former category.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan smiled, her lips curving into an arc that appeared somewhat desolate.

"Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had been annihilated from the beginning, or if my soul had been extracted and directly turned to ashes."

"But that didn't happen. With the resources of the Nuwa Divine Lineage, creating a body for me wasn't a big deal."

"But from then on, I had to be enslaved by Ling Yuan."

Hearing the Heavenly Maiden Yan's words, Jun Xiaoyao fell silent.

He knew a little about this.

After the transformation of one body with two souls, it was possible to form a main soul and a secondary soul.

Clearly, Ling Yuan was the main soul.

Because she not only occupied the primary body, but that body was also the extremely rare Nuwa Sacred Body.

And the Heavenly Maiden Yan, who had been separated, was the secondary soul.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan also explained what happened afterward.

One of the wonders of one body with two souls is that both souls can simultaneously cultivate different techniques and martial arts.

One person is equivalent to two people.

However, there is one point.

The techniques and divine abilities cultivated by the secondary soul can be automatically learned by the main soul without conditions.

But the techniques and divine abilities cultivated by the main soul can be selectively shared with the secondary soul.

This is why the main soul is more powerful than the secondary soul.

"So, you became Ling Yuan's tool?" Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan nodded and said: "That's right. Any techniques or divine abilities I cultivate, Ling Yuan learns without effort. Everything I do is just to fulfill her wishes."

"I cultivate for her, act as her shadow. When she wanted an intelligence network, I went to the Divine Women's Quarter to become a courtesan."

"When she discovered that there might be legacies of Nuwa and Lady Mi in the Tai'e Temple of the Snake People, she sent me to investigate."

"When the Ancient Emperor's Son wanted to marry her, she was unwilling, but under the pressure from the Nuwa Divine Lineage and the Fuxi Divine Lineage, she sent me instead." As the Heavenly Maiden Yan spoke, her tone carried a sense of helpless sorrow.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded, finally understanding everything completely.

He also understood the relationship between Ling Yuan, the Heavenly Maiden Yan, and the Ancient Emperor's Son.

The Nuwa Divine Lineage and the Fuxi Divine Lineage wanted to join forces to revitalize the Celestial Court, and marriage was the best option.

But Ling Yuan was too proud, or perhaps she didn't even consider the Ancient Emperor's Son worthy.

However, the alliance of the two divine lineages needed a bond.

So Ling Yuan directly sent the Heavenly Maiden Yan.

As one body with two souls, this was also within the acceptable range for the Fuxi Divine Lineage.

The Ancient Emperor's Son could only temporarily accept it.

Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaoyao came along with this intervention.

It could be said that he temporarily disrupted the plans for the alliance between the two divine lineages.

"The Nuwa Divine Lineage and the Fuxi Divine Lineage are both considered top-ranked among the nine divine lineages, and they have both been ruling lineages before."

"If these two divine lineages unite, they might indeed gain the support of other divine lineages," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He hadn't expected that by casually saving someone, he would disrupt the plans of two major divine lineages.

"However, the nine divine lineages are not completely unified, such as the Chiyou Divine Lineage..."

Jun Xiaoyao had seen the situation of the Chiyou Divine Lineage.

Not to say they were completely enslaved, but they were in a very humble and lowly position.

If the Celestial Court were to be re-established, and the Chiyou Divine Lineage couldn't rise up.

Then undoubtedly, they would still be treated as stepping stones within the Celestial Court.

"Perhaps this is a breakthrough point..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan told Jun Xiaoyao about many things.

Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why the Heavenly Maiden Yan said she was a fish that couldn't escape the river of fate.

Being Ling Yuan's shadow was her destiny!

"Is there really no way to break free?" Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

"Is Young Master Jun worried about me? That makes me so happy..." The Heavenly Maiden Yan smiled sweetly.

She suddenly raised her jade hand to smooth out Jun Xiaoyao's slightly furrowed brow.

"Young Master Jun, I don't want to trouble you because of me."

"No matter where I hide, Ling Yuan will eventually find out. There's no escape," said the Heavenly Maiden Yan.

She lowered her gaze, like a clear pool of water, as if she had completely accepted her fate.

Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "No, perhaps there is still one way."

The Heavenly Maiden Yan raised her head, surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"Suppress Ling Yuan, and that's it," Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

These words left the Heavenly Maiden Yan somewhat stunned.

Suppress Ling Yuan?

That's easier said than done. Who is Ling Yuan?

The princess of the Nuwa Divine Lineage, possessing the Nuwa Sacred Body, and recently she obtained the Nuwa Divine Heart Technique that the Heavenly Maiden Yan found in the Tai'e Temple, causing her power to surge.

It could be said that Ling Yuan is now one of the most powerful supreme forbidden geniuses on the Ultimate Ancient Path!

Even the Ancient Emperor's Son couldn't suppress Ling Yuan.

If he could, Ling Yuan wouldn't have been so indifferent and disdainful toward him.

"What, don't you believe me?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan smiled and said: "Of course I believe you, but I have a small request. I wonder if Young Master Jun could grant it?"

"What request?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Could you accompany me for a while, even if it's just your law body? I want to dance for you again, I want to see mountains and waters with you."

After a moment of silence, Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

After all, this law body of his would soon dissipate, and he might as well fulfill one of the Heavenly Maiden Yan's wishes.

Having received an affirmative answer, the Heavenly Maiden Yan's face lit up with a brilliant smile.

She suddenly leaned close to Jun Xiaoyao's ear and whispered tenderly: "Does Young Master still want to see... me wearing stockings?"

Jun Xiaoyao's face froze in surprise.

Was he that kind of person?

Of course he was!

The Heavenly Maiden Yan burst into laughter. At this moment, she seemed to have completely freed herself from all shackles.

Like a child, she laughed with pure and beautiful innocence.

Actually, there was one thing the Heavenly Maiden Yan hadn't told Jun Xiaoyao.

That is, Ling Yuan controlled her life and death.

The Heavenly Maiden Yan didn't know if, upon learning that she had gone with Jun Xiaoyao, Ling Yuan would become enraged and directly kill her.

"I hope that moment comes slowly, even if it's just one day slower, one hour, fifteen minutes, or even just a moment."

"I just want to see him one more time..."

Looking at the tall, jade-like figure standing in the starry sky, as elegant as the wind, the Heavenly Maiden Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with starlight and infinite affection.
