Seeing the expression on Moon Venerateās face, Jiang Fan confirmed his suspicion.
He couldnāt help but take a light breath: "This really surprised me."
"Itās actually a remnant soul of a Great Sage Realm!"
"So, whatās the relationship between you and Silin now?"
"Siblings? Or do you call Silin āmotherā?"
"After all, you were absorbed into Silinās belly, calling her āmotherā isnāt too much."
Moon Venerateās body trembled, and she said shamefully, "Since we have merged, we are, of course, the same person!"
"Chen Silin is me, I am Moon Venerate!"
"Our consciousness will eventually merge into one."
Jiang Fan laughed, squatted down, and lifted her chin, saying, "So it seems I have a Moon Venerate wife now?"
"Call me āhusbandā and let me hear it."
Moon Venerate bit her lips slightly: "Shameless!"
"Let go of me, I donāt want the Moon Realm anymore."
Jiang Fanās smile faded, his gaze narrowing slightly.
"Since you can suppress Silinās consciousness, do you think Iāll let you leave easily?"
"I may have to destroy you to prevent Silinās consciousness from sleeping forever."
A powerful soul power surged between his eyebrows.
Moon Venerateās eyelids twitched violently, her current soul couldnāt withstand Jiang Fanās assault.
"Wait!"
"The Ancient Giant is about to arrive. Do you want to keep Chen Silin here to perish with you?"
"I plan to take her back to the Moon Palace to receive the resources I left behind."
"Itās only beneficial to her, no harm!"
The spike between Jiang Fanās eyebrows spun for a moment, then gently retracted.
He spoke with a steady face: "After your souls finally merge, will it be Moon Venerate or Chen Silin who emerges? Or perhaps both?"
Moon Venerate shook her head: "I donāt know."
"A remnant soul of a Great Sage becoming someoneās Innate Fetus is unheard of in the Central Earth World."
"I canāt give you an answer."
"But I think whoeverās soul is stronger in the end will likely lead more."
She answered honestly, without hiding anything.
Jiang Fanās heart sank slightly.
Moon Venerateās means of restoring her soul were naturally much stronger than Chen Silinās.
If left unchecked, eventually Chen Silinās consciousness would be like a drop in the Vast Sea, assimilated without a trace.
"Should I destroy you or give Chen Silin the chance to become the New Moon Venerate?"
"Decide for yourself!"
Jiang Fanās gaze flickered: "Let Chen Silin come out."
Moon Venerate thought for a while and silently retreated her consciousness.
The moon in her eyes dissipated.
Chen Silin regained control of her body, immediately rushing into Jiang Fanās arms, her face full of fear:
"Husband, I didnāt mean to hide it from you."
"Believe me, I wasnāt trying to betray you."
Jiang Fan gently wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace, saying: "Silly girl."
"How could I blame you?"
"I should blame myself for caring too little and not noticing the remnant soul of Moon Venerate in you in time."
Chen Silin, full of guilt, clung tightly to him and said: "I donāt want to go anywhere, just be by your side."
But Jiang Fan remained silent.
After a long time, he sighed slightly: "With the inheritance of Moon Venerate, why not go?"
"However, before you leave, I hope you can give yourself to me."
Ah?
Moon Venerate was taken aback and immediately tried to seize control of the body.
Her eyes alternated between the moon and normal pupils.
"No way!"
"How can I, Moon Venerate, be given to a common man?"
Hmm!
The spike between Jiang Fanās eyebrows twitched, scaring Moon Venerate back.
Chen Silinās pretty face turned crimson, her delicate body stiff and her ample chest heaving against Jiang Fanās chest due to rapid breathing.
"Is it okay?" Jiang Fan gently grasped her belt, slowly drawing it.
Chen Silinās eyes became misty with tension, as she gripped Jiang Fanās waist with both hands, stuttering:
"Sister... hasnāt been with you... how can I be ahead?"
Jiang Fan lifted her chin: "Is it not okay?"
Chen Silin bit her lip, struggling inside.
She didnāt want to.
She felt it was unfair to Xu Youran, but this might be a final farewell.
Seeing her silence, Jiang Fan said: "Iāll take that as acquiescence."
He gently removed the belt, and Chen Silin did not resist, closing her eyes with a complicated mind.
Allowing Jiang Fan to proceed.
In Chen Silinās mind, Moon Venerateās urgent voice came through.
"Stop him! Stop him quickly!"
Jiang Fan chuckled lightly: "Moon Venerate, come and enjoy together."
Saying this.
He gently laid Chen Silin on the ground and pressed down on her.
Moon Venerate was filled with shame and anger: "Shameless!"
How could she let her remnant soul experience the feeling of being desecrated by a common man?
She severed her perception of the outside immediately.
Chen Silinās whole body trembled, fearfully awaiting the impending moment.
But she suddenly felt lighter.
Jiang Fan crawled away from her and quickly took out two pieces of Soul Jade Paper, urging:
"Quick! Memorize the inscription on it."
"Recite it daily from now on!"
How could he really go against Chen Silinās wishes?
He only planned to use this method to prevent Moon Venerate from observing the outside.
This way, he could hand over the Jade Paper Heavenly Book to Chen Silin, giving her the means to enhance her soul power.
So she wouldnāt suffer during the coming fusion process.
Only then did Chen Silin understand Jiang Fanās intention.
Deeply touched, she quickly scanned the two pages of the Jade Paper Heavenly Book, committing the inscription to memory.
Before long, she nodded: "Iāve memorized it all."
Jiang Fan immediately put away the Jade Paper Heavenly Book, relaxing his tense nerves slightly, saying: "Now Iām a bit more at ease."
Chen Silin sadly wrapped her arms around Jiang Fanās waist: "Iām sorry, husband, for not making you happy."
"If you really want it, Iāll give it to you."
"After all, itās yours eventually."
"Alright." Jiang Fan smiled, crouched down, and buried his face in her chest.
A moment later, he lifted his head and gently closed her clothes.
A bright strawberry mark was faintly visible on her chest.
Jiang Fan tapped her nose once: "Iāve already left an imprint."
"From now on, you are mine."
Chen Silin blushed, gently wrapping her arms around his shoulders and leaned against him, saying:
"Thank you, husband."
"Iāve been able to awaken Moon Venerateās remnant soul, make my way from a small merchantās daughter to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, all thanks to you."
"Without you, I would still be in that small Lonely Boat City, still oppressed by the Qin family, with my father already dead from illness, and perhaps I would have been oppressed by others."
"Husband, you changed my destiny."
"Siling has etched it in her heart, she will never forget, even if one day she merges with Moon Venerate, she wonāt forget."
After pausing, Chen Silin gazed at the handsome side of Jiang Fanās face, her eyes firm.
"Moreover, with your mysterious sheet, by then it might not be Moon Venerate leading."
"Maybe itās me!"
"At that time, I will give myself to you."
"If Moon Venerate dares to interfere, Iāll press her down and make her your woman too!"
"Doesnāt this proud woman disdain you as a common man?"
"Then I must let her be conquered by you!"
Listening to the first part, Jiang Fan was happy.
Listening to the latter part, hmm... even happier.
