Chapter 1455: Soul and Body Reunited

She was dressed wildly, her wrapped top accentuating her proud bust. Her waist did not appear as delicate and weak as other women's; instead, it exuded an explosive, uninhibited power. Combined with her perky glutes and long legs, her entire being radiated an extraordinary, vibrant vitality.

Yet, her appearance was not coarse; on the contrary, she was incredibly beautiful, possessing a delicate allure amidst her heroic and valiant bearing.

Yuyan Luo and the other women were stunned because this beautiful woman looked exactly like Mo Xi, the one Zu An had summoned!

Their gazes darted between the woman and Mo Xi, finally discerning a difference. Mo Xi's eyes were somewhat dull and dazed, while the woman's eyes were remarkably lively, even a little... enchanting.

Just then, the woman noticed them and sneered, "Who dares disturb my pleasure?"

Her voice was both alluringly soft and efficient, perfectly matching her appearance and demeanor.

"Pleasure?" The three goddesses exchanged strange looks. Tearing silk? What a peculiar habit. Even Yuyan Luo, despite her family's wealth, couldn't help but frown at the scattered fragments of silk, finding it terribly wasteful.

The woman then waved her hand, and the surrounding silk flew to the side, clearing her line of sight. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw Mo Xi opposite her, and froze.

Seeing this, Zu An inwardly cursed and quickly retracted Mo Xi.

But the woman had already seen her. Raising an eyebrow, she demanded, "How dare you create such a puppet! Are you from the Witch Clan or the Ghost Clan?"

Zu An was startled, wondering if these two clans possessed methods for creating such puppets. He had no time to ponder, as countless silks attacked him.

Yan Xuehen and the two other women were shocked. Despite the opponent's beauty, the aura she instantly displayed had reached the Earth Immortal level! Were Earth Immortals so common now? Of course, they understood this was due to the strange, unknowable nature of this place; after all, even celestial immortals had appeared, so an Earth Immortal truly wasn't surprising.

Zu An quickly dodged, but the silks seemed to have eyes, preemptively blocking all his escape angles. Almost instantly, they wrapped layer by layer around his limbs and body, suspending him in the air like a spreadeagled figure.

"Ah Zu!" The three women cried out in alarm, rushing forward to help.

Suddenly, a burst of flame erupted from Zu An, incinerating the silks into ashes, and he broke free.

The woman opposite raised an eyebrow, about to continue her attack, when Zu An hastily summoned Mo Xi. "She isn't a puppet I created; I met her by chance. She is my friend!"

Seeing this, the woman frowned but did not attack. Yan Xuehen and the others remained secretly vigilant, ready to combine their efforts and assist Zu An at any moment.

The woman flickered, appearing next to Mo Xi the next second, carefully scrutinizing her.

Zu An thought, "Just as I expected, I've finally met the true owner." No wonder Shun sent him to Nanchao; with Mo Xi here, her abilities could sever various contracts, and the Demon Emperor's puppet curse seal was naturally a type of contract. However, Mo Xi's era was after Shun. Why would Shun know of her existence? Could it be that Shun had traveled widely in this world and met her, given they shared the same plane of existence? Also, in his previous life, he had read various sci-fi novels that stated two versions of the same person could not exist in the same world, potentially leading to annihilation upon meeting. Yet, now the two Mo Xis were face to face, and nothing abnormal seemed to be happening.

As his mind raced, the woman opposite was equally shocked. Seeing a woman identical to herself, she initially thought it was a puppet, but upon closer inspection, it seemed not to be. It was entirely herself. "Why does she have no soul?" The woman, whose cultivation was indeed extraordinary, immediately noticed Mo Xi's unusual state.

"I don't know," Zu An replied after some thought. "She was like that when I met her. Could her soul be inside your body?" The woman opposite grew furious. "You brat, are you looking for death?"

Anger value from Mo Xi: 444,444,444... Seeing the name, Zu An thought, "It really is Mo Xi."

"Hmm, I seem to sense a remnant soul in her, it truly is me..." The woman suddenly frowned, placed her hand on Mo Xi, seemingly reading her memories. Her expression instantly became very intriguing, and she looked at Zu An with particular amusement.

Zu An didn't know what she had seen; in any case, he hadn't bullied Mo Xi. "My meaning is that she might become what you are in the future... perhaps you will encounter some misfortune, leading to soul loss and becoming like this."

The woman furrowed her brows, but this time she didn't refute, seemingly pondering what danger she might face that would scatter her soul. At this moment, Zu An suddenly realized another question: How could the original Mo Xi have lived for so long? Even Shun had turned to dust, yet she could still exist, maintaining such power. She clearly hadn't become an immortal.

The woman then casually waved her hand. Zu An felt a thread within his heart snap, and he immediately lost his connection with Mo Xi. He was both shocked and furious. "What are you doing?"

"Taking back my body, of course?" The woman gave Zu An a cold glance. "Who knows what strange, indecent things you'd do keeping her by your side."

Zu An was speechless. Yuyan Luo and Yun Jianyue wanted to laugh but dared not, thinking that Zu An indeed had quite a few women around him, so one less wouldn't make much difference. Yan Xuehen, however, grew anxious. This concerned whether the "Love Stronger Than Gold" curse on her could be broken. Now that Zu An had lost Mo Xi, wouldn't she be forever without hope?

Zu An nearly spat blood. This time, he had truly suffered a huge loss, gaining nothing and directly losing a Valkyrie. Shun, that trickster! He steeled himself, about to attack, but the woman seemed to anticipate his move and turned to glance at him. "What, planning to make a move?"

Zu An finally cleared his head a bit. Even with their combined strength and all their trump cards, they would likely only achieve a Pyrrhic victory, possibly with casualties. It wasn't really necessary for one Valkyrie. Moreover, his contract with Mo Xi was already broken; even if he seized her back, it would be useless, as he could no longer command her.

He could only say, "Since you've taken something of mine, please do one thing for me. The puppet curse seal in my body, and the one with..." Yan Xuehen's heart almost leaped out of her chest. If Yun Jianyue and Yuyan Luo found out, she would be utterly humiliated on the spot.

Fortunately, the woman decisively refused. "I'm taking back my own body; I don't owe you anything. Why should I help you?"

Zu An was speechless. Seeing the anger almost sparking in his eyes, the woman then said, "Alright, since you did help me in a way, I'll give you a chance. As long as you bring Yi Yin to me, I promise to help you."

Zu An felt a surge of anger. These people were all freeloaders, one after another, always making him do a ton of things but then not fulfilling their promises. He was about to erupt, but then a thought struck him. Yi Yin?

"Is Yi Yin still in this world?" he couldn't help but ask.

"That, I don't know. If I could find him, would I need your help?" The woman waved her hand, issuing a dismissal. "I've told you the condition. Whether you can fulfill it or not is your business."

After speaking, she focused intently on examining Mo Xi, seemingly touching her own body. Her entire expression became agitated, and even her hands began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue quietly whispered to Zu An, "Xiao Anzi, this woman has no physical form; she's in a soul state. Perhaps she is the missing soul of your maid."

Zu An's heart stirred. This woman was a soul body? No wonder nothing like collapse or annihilation occurred when she met Mo Xi; it was because they were one person: one body, one soul! Previously, the woman's every movement had been so realistic that he hadn't realized. But at close range, she couldn't hide it from the eyes of a Grandmaster like Yun Jianyue.

Some people die, but they don't completely die...

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving. Confusion, bewilderment, and various emotions surged within him. Where was this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, becoming even more bewildered. A single dorm room? Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now. And his body... why wasn't there a single injury?

With doubts, Shi Yu quickly scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on a mirror on the headboard. The mirror showed his current appearance, around seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome. He used to be a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, having worked for some time. But now, this face looked like that of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time. Don't tell him the surgery was successful... His body and face had changed; this wasn't just a matter of surgery; it was immortal magic. He had completely become another person! Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror, whose placement on the headboard clearly had bad feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books nearby. Shi Yu picked them up, and his gaze fell on the titles, instantly rendering him silent.

"Essential Beast-Rearing Manual for Novice Breeders""Post-Natal Care for Pet Beasts""Appreciation Guide for Heterogeneous Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu: ??? The first two book titles seemed normal, but what was up with the last one?

"Ahem." Shi Yu's eyes hardened as he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened. Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain shot through his brain, and a flood of memories surged forth.

Icefield City. Pet Beast Breeding Base. Intern Pet Beast Breeder. Beast Tamer?
