Chapter 1784: The Goddess's Kiss

“What is it?” The phantom woman turned to face her.

Fighting off her drowsiness, Chu Chuyan recalled what the mercenary group had mentioned earlier: “My husband should be near this great tomb, and he would most likely participate in such a lively event as the tomb’s opening. I hope, Senior, you can deliver a message to him for me.”

“What message?” The phantom woman also grew curious.

“Tell him that the luckiest thing in my life was marrying him into my family in Bright Moon City. We are not destined in this life, but if there is a next life, I wish for us to be husband and wife again.” A blush crept onto Chu Chuyan’s pale face as she spoke, especially with Manman right there beside her.

“Why don’t you ask him to save you?” The phantom woman asked, a little puzzled.

“Because this is the formidable Ghost King’s ultimate technique. Even you, Senior, have no solution. Telling him would only add to his worries. Rather than causing him lifelong pain from being unable to save me, it’s better not to tell him at all.”

“Formidable?” The woman raised an eyebrow, seeming about to say something, but held back.

She carefully observed Chu Chuyan for a moment, unable to help but sigh with emotion:

“To think you are such a deeply devoted soul. To earn such unwavering affection from a woman like you, he must be an exceptional man. Very well, I will certainly deliver your message. What is his name, and what does he look like?”

Chu Chuyan felt a little shy but still said, “His name is Zu’an…”

She then briefly described Zu’an’s features to her.

“Could a man truly be that handsome?” Hearing the description, the phantom woman muttered, then nodded, “Rest assured, as long as he appears near the great tomb, I will definitely deliver your message. However, if he doesn’t come, there’s nothing I can do. This wisp of my remnant soul cannot last much longer.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Chu Chuyan bowed respectfully.

The phantom woman nodded, then looked at Pei Mianman: “And you, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”

Pei Mianman wore an extremely strange expression but still said, “I also wish to ask Senior to deliver a message to my man.”

“Oh, how very strange,” the phantom woman thought to herself. “These two women are truly devoted and passionate, but are they perhaps a little too love-struck? Very well, what do you want to say to your man?”

Pei Mianman secretly glanced at Chu Chuyan, seeing her pretend not to care yet secretly perking up her ears. But there was no way to speak privately now. “Please tell him, Senior, that the happiest decades of my life were spent in the Yin Ruins secret realm. I wish I had never left the secret realm back then. If there is a next life, I wish to continue our bond with him.”

Chu Chuyan wore a strange expression. They had been a couple for decades? No wonder she always felt that Zu’an and she were far more familiar with each other than he was with her, his actual wife. It turned out it wasn’t her imagination.

The phantom woman carefully observed Pei Mianman: “You are equally stunningly beautiful and deeply in love. A man who could capture the heart of a woman like you must be rare in this world. Tell me his name, and I will certainly deliver your message.”

Pei Mianman’s pretty face flushed. Awkwardly,

she glanced at Chu Chuyan, who also guiltily avoided her gaze. “His name is Zu’an…”

“His name is Zu’an too? What a coincidence!” The woman nodded, then her expression suddenly changed. “Don’t tell me you’re talking about the same man?”

Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman felt a little awkward and nodded helplessly: “Indeed, it’s the same person.”

“What?!” The phantom woman leaped up instantly. “You two astonishingly talented and beautiful women are so utterly devoted to the same man?!”

The two women exchanged a glance and sighed softly: “It is so.”

“Have you two been controlled by some dark magic?” The phantom woman frowned and said. Women like these, even in her era, were capable of toppling kingdoms. Shouldn’t countless men be pursuing them? How could it be the other way around, with them competing for one man?

“It’s a long story, but Zu’an and we are truly mutually in love, and there was no coercion whatsoever,” the two women explained quickly, seeing each other’s concern.

“Since you love your man so much, shouldn’t love be exclusive? Why can you two get along like sisters?” The phantom woman asked, puzzled.

“We are actually very good friends, and we have experienced too much life and death together, which made us view the rivalry for a lover less seriously,” the two women sighed softly.

The phantom woman scoffed: “Very well, I’ll go see what kind of man could possibly be loved by both of you in this way.”

Just as she finished speaking and was about to leave, Pei Mianman called out, “Senior, wait.”

The phantom woman turned and waited silently for her answer.

Pei Mianman then said with some hesitation, “Senior, when you find him, if there are other women beside him, please don’t get angry or blame him.”

Chu Chuyan thought: *Manman still understands Zu’an better. That guy has so many confidantes and beauties around him; most likely someone is accompanying him this time too. Senior Bao Gu is clearly a little angered by our reactions. If she sees Zu’an with women on both arms, she might think he’s a scoundrel.*

*After all, Bao Gu was the Immortal Monarch’s wife, and her combat power was unknown. If she truly got angry and attacked Zu’an, he’d be in danger.*

Hearing this, the phantom woman laughed in exasperation: “Are you two out of your minds?”

Pei Mianman’s pretty face felt hot. Chu Chuyan helped her explain: “Senior, you misunderstand. We are aware of his confidantes. Zu’an is a man of deep affection and genuine character. Any woman he falls for would certainly not be ordinary; they must have gone through countless hardships together. Now that we are destined to die, why not let them be together and truly wish them a better life? Conversely, if he were to spend his entire life grieving for us, withered and like a living corpse, that would not be what we wish for.”

Pei Mianman also nodded: “Exactly, that’s what I think too. Zu’an has sacrificed enough for me in this life. I don’t want to see him live the rest of his life like that.”

The phantom woman paced back and forth in the cave, clearly extremely agitated. This scene

utterly overwhelmed her.

After a long while, she looked at the two women and asked in a deep voice: “Are you truly so unwilling to fight for him? Are you so willing to hand over your beloved?”

“If everything were normal, we would naturally fight for him. How could we willingly give up our beloved?” Chu Chuyan snorted, her expression immediately dimming. “But now that we are destined to die, what desire do we have to contend for such things?”

The phantom woman sighed in relief: “So, it’s just that knowing you’re about to die has made you disheartened. I thought I had lived all these years in vain.”

Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman were speechless. They could barely keep their eyes open, yet the other party was fussing over such matters.

At this, the phantom woman showed a hesitant expression. After a long pause, she said, “Alright, alright, this wisp of my remnant soul was awakened by you, so we have a connection. I truly can’t bear to see two such deeply devoted and passionate women perish like this.”

Immediately, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed two wisps of golden light into the foreheads of the two women.

The two women were on the verge of falling asleep and had no time to react at all.

“Senior, what is this?” A trace of clarity entered Chu Chuyan’s mind as she asked, puzzled.

“I truly don’t have the power to break the Ever-Slumber Gaze, but when I was bored back then, I created a skill myself. You two, however, can save yourselves.” The phantom woman looked a little unnatural as she said this.

“What skill?” Pei Mianman asked blankly.

A faint blush seemed to appear on the phantom woman’s face: “This skill is called ‘Kiss of the Goddess’.”

Pei Mianman: “…”

Chu Chuyan: “…”

Seeing the two women’s expressions, the phantom woman felt a little annoyed: “Don’t get the wrong idea! I definitely didn’t create this for that Immortal Monarch Baopu; it’s just, just…”

“Never mind, you’ll understand it yourselves later,” the phantom woman said as she gradually faded. “Alas, originally I was supposed to deliver your messages, but now it seems I’ll need you to do something for me instead.”

“Senior!” Seeing her state, the two women instantly understood that in order to save them, she had expended all her energy and was about to disappear.

The phantom woman smiled faintly: “Everything is destiny; you needn’t be sad. If you remember my help, when you get to the great tomb, just give Immortal Monarch Baopu’s remains a slap in the face. No, since there are two of you, each of you should give him one slap.”

The two women: “???”

This couple’s relationship seems a bit…

“You haven’t been completely saved yet. You should hurry.”

After speaking, her phantom completely dispersed into nothingness.

At this moment, the golden light on their foreheads instantly sank into their minds, and they immediately comprehended a wondrous skill.

**Kiss of the Goddess:** The most exquisite kissing technique in the world, originally created to make someone change their mind…

It also had an additional effect: it could awaken any being slumbering due to seals or curses through its supreme and profound kissing technique, or, alternatively, cause the target to sleep for ten days, experiencing endless joy and beautiful dreams.
