Chapter 927: Harmonious Couple Pan Yue Zun

Observing Venerable Moon's expression, Jiang Fan confirmed his suspicion. He couldn't help but gasp softly, "This truly surprises me. It really is the remnant soul of a Grand Sage realm expert! So, what's your relationship with Siling now? Are you sisters? Or should you call Siling 'Mother'? After all, you were absorbed into her womb, so calling her 'Mother' wouldn't be out of line."

Venerable Moon's body trembled as she retorted, exasperated and embarrassed, "Since we've merged, we are, of course, the same person! Chen Siling is me, and I am Venerable Moon! Our consciousnesses will eventually merge into one."

Jiang Fan chuckled, then squatted down, lifting her chin. "So, does this mean I have a Venerable Moon as a wife now? Call me 'Husband,' let me hear it."

Venerable Moon gritted her teeth slightly. "Shameless! Let me go, I don't want the Moon Realm anymore."

Jiang Fan's smile faded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Since you can suppress Siling's consciousness, do you think I'd let you go so easily? Perhaps I should destroy you, lest you cause Siling's consciousness to fall into eternal slumber." Powerful soul energy surged from his brow.

Venerable Moon's eyelids twitched rapidly; her current soul couldn't withstand a single spiritual attack from Jiang Fan. "Wait!" she exclaimed. "The Ancient Giants are almost here. Do you want Chen Siling to stay here and perish with you? I plan to take her back to the Moon Palace to inherit the resources I left behind. It will only benefit her, not harm her!"

The spiritual spike on Jiang Fan's brow spun for a moment before gently retracting. His expression serious, he asked, "After your souls finally merge, will Venerable Moon emerge, or Chen Siling? Or perhaps a combination of both?"

Venerable Moon shook her head. "I don't know. A remnant soul of a Grand Sage becoming a person's congenital fetal body is unheard of in the Central Land. I can't give you an answer. But I imagine it will be whoever has the stronger soul in the end who takes more control." She answered truthfully, hiding nothing.

Jiang Fan's mood sank slightly. Venerable Moon's methods for restoring her soul were naturally far superior to Chen Siling's. If left unchecked, Chen Siling's consciousness would eventually be like a drop of water in the ocean, merged without a trace.

"Either destroy me," Venerable Moon challenged, "or give Chen Siling the chance to become the new Venerable Moon. You choose!"

Jiang Fan's eyes flickered. "Let Chen Siling out." Venerable Moon pondered for a moment, then silently retreated her consciousness. The moon symbol in her eyes faded. Chen Siling regained control of her body and immediately threw herself into Jiang Fan's arms, her face filled with fear. "Husband, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Believe me, I would never betray you."

Jiang Fan gently wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her close. "Silly girl," he said, "how could I blame you? I should blame myself for not paying enough attention to you and not noticing Venerable Moon's remnant soul within you sooner."

Chen Siling's face was flushed with shame. Leaning tightly against him, she whispered, "I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay by your side."

Jiang Fan, however, fell silent. After a long moment, he sighed softly. "If there's an inheritance from Venerable Moon, why wouldn't you go? However, before you leave, I hope you'll give yourself to me."

Venerable Moon was startled and immediately tried to seize control of the body. Her eyes alternated between bearing the moon symbol and appearing as normal pupils. "No!" she exclaimed. "How can I, Venerable Moon, give myself to a mere mortal?"

Jiang Fan's spiritual spike rotated on his brow, startling Venerable Moon back into submission. Chen Siling's pretty face flushed crimson, her slender body stiffened, and her full chest heaved violently with rapid breaths, pressing heavily against Jiang Fan's chest.

"May I?" Jiang Fan asked, gently grasping her sash and slowly pulling it. Chen Siling's eyes were clouded with emotion, and in her nervousness, her hands gripped Jiang Fan's waist tightly as she stammered, "Sister... hasn't been with you yet... how can I go before her?"

Jiang Fan lifted her chin. "Is that a no?" Chen Siling bit her red lip, her heart struggling. She was reluctant, feeling it would be unfair to Xu Youran, yet this time might be a final farewell.

Seeing her silence, Jiang Fan said, "I'll take that as a yes." He gently pulled off her sash. Chen Siling didn't resist, closing her eyes with a complex mix of emotions, allowing Jiang Fan to proceed.

Inside Chen Siling's mind, Venerable Moon's urgent voice cried out, "Stop him! Quickly, stop him!"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly. "Venerable Moon, let's enjoy this together." With that, he gently laid Chen Siling down on the ground and leaned over her.

Venerable Moon was consumed by shame and indignation. "You're shameless!" she screamed. How could she let her remnant soul experience being defiled by a mere mortal? She immediately severed her perception of the outside world.

Chen Siling trembled, fearfully awaiting the moment. But suddenly, the pressure on her eased. Jiang Fan moved off her and quickly produced two pieces of soul jade paper, urging, "Quick! Memorize the inscriptions on them. Recite them silently every day from now on!"

How could he truly go against Chen Siling's wishes? He only intended to use this method to prevent Venerable Moon from perceiving the outside world. Only then could he give Chen Siling the Jade Paper Heavenly Tome, providing her with a means to strengthen her soul and avoid being disadvantaged during the future merging process.

Only then did Chen Siling understand Jiang Fan's true intention. Deeply moved, she quickly scanned the two pages of the Jade Paper Heavenly Tome, firmly memorizing the inscriptions. A short while later, she nodded. "I've memorized them all."

Jiang Fan immediately put away the Jade Paper Heavenly Tome, his tense thoughts easing slightly. "This makes me a bit more at ease," he said.

Chen Siling sadly wrapped her arms around Jiang Fan's waist. "I'm sorry, Husband, for not making you happy," she said. "If you truly want it, I'll give it to you. It'll be yours eventually anyway."

"Alright," Jiang Fan chuckled, squatting down and burying his head in her chest. A moment later, he looked up and gently closed her clothes. A vivid hickey was faintly visible on her chest. Jiang Fan playfully flicked her nose. "A mark has been left," he said. "From now on, you're mine."

Blushing, Chen Siling gently wrapped her arms around his shoulders, leaning against him. "Thank you, Husband," she said. "My ability to awaken Venerable Moon's remnant soul, to go from the daughter of a small merchant to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it's all thanks to you. Without you, I'd still be in the small city of Guzhou, still oppressed by the Qin family, my father would have died of illness, and I might have been forcibly taken by someone. It was you who changed my destiny. Siling will engrave this in her heart and never forget it, even if one day I am merged with Venerable Moon, I will not forget."

She paused, then gazed at Jiang Fan's handsome profile, her eyes firm. "Besides, with Husband's mysterious paper, it might not be Venerable Moon who dominates then. Perhaps it will be me! At that time, I will give myself to you. If Venerable Moon dares to interfere, I'll pin her down too, and make her your woman along with me! That haughty woman, isn't she disdainful of you, a mere mortal? Well, I'll make sure she's conquered by you!"

Jiang Fan was pleased by the first part of what she said. As for the latter part... well, he was even more pleased.
