Chapter 122: Chapter 122 If You Don’t Wake Up, Let’s Get Divorced

Bai Yan’s system still seemed pretty reliable.

Very soon, it provided more detailed results.

The system exclaimed in shock: [Host, I’ve told you before that Yu Yunxiao’s talent is impressive, but you didn’t believe me! You said his beastification as a cat was useless, that in danger, all he could do was ’meow meow meow.’]

System: [Well, now look! He’s a Dual Soul Person!]

System: [People like him are born with two souls—one bright, one dark. The dark one is referred to as the Dark Soul, or Shadow. Most of the time, the Dark Soul only appears when the Bright Soul encounters danger or has an emotional breakdown.]

System: [If the Bright and Dark Souls’ superpowers align—one being light, the other being darkness—then they’re an ultimate combination.]

Bai Yan, upon hearing this, focused on only one thing: [No matter how great his talent is, he belongs to Xiao Jinsheng now. The stronger he is, the more dangerous things become for me.]

Bai Yan: [Whether he’s a single-soul person or a dual-soul person, he’s just one Eleven Star. Both Xi Qu and Ying Fei of mine are also Eleven Stars. If it comes to a fight, I’d still win.]

But hearing this, the system panicked.

System: [Don’t fight him. You can’t win. Don’t act rashly.]

Bai Yan became furious: [What do you mean by that?!]

System: [Right now, the one controlling Yu Yunxiao’s body is the Dark Soul. Xi Qu and Ying Fei reached Eleven Stars through the Star-breaking Pill. Truly, you can’t beat him.]

System: [Even if both are Eleven Stars, Xi Qu and Ying Fei working together still might not be Yu Yunxiao’s match. Let’s not even mention that he has Li and Shi Xie on his side, and both of them are Ten Star superpowers.]

Bai Yan, hearing this, grew even angrier: [Are you kidding me? Xi Qu and Ying Fei used the Star-breaking Pill you gave them, a tool that sacrifices lifespan for power. Two against one, and they still can’t win? What kind of system are you?!]

The system was helpless: [Yes, the Star-breaking Pill consumes lifespan, but it only burns life when using superpowers.]

System: [But have you ever considered the growth environment of Dark Souls like him?]

System: [Since gaining consciousness, Dark Souls live in their own created hunting grounds, constantly engaged in killing, without rest for even a moment. Forget two to one—if you give another Beast Husband a Star-breaking Pill to force them to Eleven Stars, even three against one might not beat him.]

Bai Yan: [Talking so much, what use are you then?!]

At this moment, Bai Yan was genuinely angry.

The Yu Yunxiao of before had a Healing Element superpower—not to mention combat power, even his self-defense power wasn’t much to speak of.

But after only a few days apart, he had transformed into a massive weapon of destruction.

Though Bai Yan was angry, she still believed the system’s words.

Knowing that in a fight, her side was likely no match against Xiao Jinsheng’s, Bai Yan began to contemplate retreat.

People may retreat, but pride must not.

Bai Yan clutched her heart, letting tears fall, and looked at Xiao Jinsheng with disappointment: "Xiao Jinsheng, if I could, I really wish I had never met you."

When she finished, she didn’t care about Xiao Jinsheng’s reaction and turned away, running off in sorrow.

Xiao Jinsheng was completely exasperated by Bai Yan.

But for now, there were more pressing matters to attend to, so she didn’t rush to settle accounts with Bai Yan.

Her complicated gaze fell on Shadow, utterly unprepared for the revelation that Yu Yunxiao was a Dual Soul Person.

She had considered body possession before and later entertained the thought of split personalities after hearing Bai Yan’s system’s analysis.

But a Dual Soul Person?

Was that one person or two?

With dual souls in one body, both must be fighting to control it. What would happen to the missing Yu Yunxiao?

Xiao Jinsheng’s heart was full of unease as she silently walked into the living room.

Shadow’s gaze followed her back, expression unreadable, but he quietly trailed behind.

The six other Beast Husbands were all in the living room, busying themselves with various tasks, appearing to get along harmoniously.

But Shadow could still sense the subtle attitudes the other members of this household directed towards him.

"You’ve known for a while, haven’t you? That I’m not him," Shadow said, his eyes fixed on Xiao Jinsheng, who had just sat down on the sofa.

Xiao Jinsheng froze mid-motion and looked up at him.

The man’s snowy white cat ears drooped dejectedly, and his mismatched golden-blue eyes hid a trace of loneliness beneath their calm veneer.

"Where is he?" Xiao Jinsheng demanded, her gaze wary as she stared back at Shadow.

At the same time, the six Beast Husbands, originally busy, quickly gathered around her, forming a protective shield.

Seeing them all so defensive, Shadow gave a helpless smile. "You’re my Female Master. I would never harm you."

"I am not," Xiao Jinsheng reminded coldly.

Shadow’s smile froze, his gaze falling dejectedly. "I apologize. I overstepped."

Of course.

Someone like him, born to darkness.

Everything he saw and felt was but an illusion.

Even this body—only its appearance mirrored his form, forged from years of lurking and killing in the dark.

He... had stolen another’s life.

"Where is he?" Xiao Jinsheng pressed further, her tone growing impatient.

"I’m sorry; I don’t know," Shadow answered with a sorrowful shake of his head.

"Then how did you appear?" Xiao Jinsheng questioned him again.

Shadow locked eyes with her and saw scrutiny in her gaze.

Not long ago, those brown eyes always looked at him brightly, with a glow he had never seen before—a glow he thought was the only color in his black-and-white world.

Shadow felt a sharp pain in his chest. He turned his head, avoiding Xiao Jinsheng’s gaze.

It was as if only in doing so could he revisit the fleeting memory of her smiling at him when he first arrived here and softly asking him for help with mundane tasks.

"When I woke up, I was already in this unfamiliar place," Shadow explained. "I don’t know how I came here, and I don’t know where he went."

Piecing together the scattered clues from overheard internal conversations and the information retrieved from Bai Yan’s system, Xiao Jinsheng realized Shadow was not lying.

After taking a moment to calm herself, she looked at Shadow and asked, "Do you have a way to return to where you came from?"

Since he was a Dual Soul Person.

One bright, one dark.

If the Dark Soul came to the surface, did that mean the Bright Soul was now trapped in the dark?

If the Dark Soul could return to the darkness, would the Bright Soul then return to the light?

The six other Beast Husbands, having received Xiao Jinsheng’s transmission through the Star Map regarding Yu Yunxiao’s dual-soul nature, also understood this rationale.

Shadow stared dazedly at Xiao Jinsheng, noting the faint worry hidden behind the composed look in her eyes.

He didn’t dare delude himself into thinking Xiao Jinsheng might be worried for him.

"I can try," he murmured after a long pause, just as Xiao Jinsheng’s expression began to betray her impatience.

He added, "Although I don’t know why I’ve come here or why he disappeared... this body feels the same as mine. I think there might be some sort of connection between Yu Yunxiao and me."

"Maybe if I leave, he can come back." After finishing, Shadow glanced at Xiao Jinsheng’s stern expression and awkwardly added, "Don’t worry, I’ll help bring him back."

Finishing his words, Shadow dared not look at Xiao Jinsheng again.

He quickly shut his eyes and began to perceive the darkness he had lived in his entire existence.

He searched within the pitch black, utterly silent, unable to discern the passage of time.

Until the roar of a beast shattered the stillness, and several shadows sprang forth from the void, lunging toward him.

The black energy in Shadow’s hand materialized into a curved knife, effortlessly severing the neck of the Mutant Beast. The knife’s tip deftly retrieved an Eleven Star Star Stone from the beast’s skull.

The heavy scent of blood filled his senses. Only then did Shadow realize the black-and-white landscape before him was all too familiar.

He cast a cold, sweeping glance at the Mutant Beasts closing in around him, following his scent and forming an encircling net. Tightening his grip on the knife’s hilt, he prepared for battle.

Gray mist rolled in from all directions, devoid of any other colors or light.

It was as though everything—today’s sunlight streaming through the window to wake him, her dazzling smile—was just a hallucination before his death.

No danger would wait for Shadow to untangle the truth of his memories.

The high-star Mutant Beast surged toward him with its sharp claws and bloodthirsty jaws.

"Yu Yunxiao?"

Xiao Jinsheng reached out, poking Yu Yunxiao’s cheek. When he didn’t respond, her fingertip scratched lightly at his chin as she anxiously called:

"Yu Yunxiao, little kitty, aloof guy, if you don’t wake up now, we’re getting a divorce!"
