Cang Ming paused for a moment. He then continued to speak, “After all, how could he look for you in peace with me still in his body? He couldn’t predict when I would take over his body and do something to hurt you. The worst thing was when this fellow had removed my soul, he had also chopped off mydescendent-making tool ¹ !”

Gu Ruoyun stared at the peerlessly beautiful man by her side in astonishment. Her gaze was filled with shock.

Qianbei Ye replied earnestly, “He had tortured me for so many years and I only wanted to teach him a lesson. When Murong Qian had appeared two years ago, I had immediately known that the child in her belly was not Cang Ming’s. Cang Ming does not have that function ² .”

“Teach him a lesson?” Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and asked with a forced smile.

Qianbei Ye looked a little embarrassed. “I wanted to pursue you in the past but this fellow’s powers were so great and he would be mistaken for me sooner or later even though he would have a different face when his soul was forcibly removed. If he were to fall into the seductions of the mortal world and get together with other women, it would have created misunderstandings between us. Hence, I had made it snappy ³ and castrated him so I would no longer have that concern.”

“Back then, when Cang Ming had purposely said those things to create a misunderstanding between us, you had not believed him because you knew he had no way of playing hide the sausage?”

Gu Ruoyun curled her lips into a smile as she asked with a grin.

Qianbei Ye panicked when he heard this. He quickly grabbed Gu Ruoyun’s hand and said, “Yun’er, even if I had not castrated him in the past, I would never have believed him! You’re the only person that I trust!”

Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips when she saw the panic-stricken look on Qianbei Ye’s face. “Xiao Ye, I was only teasing you, can’t you tell?”

“Yun’er,” Qianbei Ye replied with mild resentment, “I take everything that you say seriously. Don’t joke about this kind of things with me in the future or you might actually frighten me to death!”

I take everything that you say seriously…

Qianbei Ye’s words coursed like a warm current through Gu Ruoyun’s heart, causing the corners of her lips to curl into a gentle angle as her dark eyes gazed upon the man’s peerless features.

“Hmph! How can you still be so carefree and leisurely crack jokes at a time like this?” Cang Ming laughed icily. “Qianbei Ye, you had only castrated me back then but you could not destroy me completely! Hence, the only way for you to break through to the Full Circle State is for us to unite again. However, this unification won’t be the same as our twin souls situation in the past. Instead, only one soul can continue to exist in this world. That’s why I had said that he can’t exist if I exist on this mainland and I can’t exist if he exists!”

Cang Ming raised his head and his gaze was full of dominance. “I only need to consume his soul to reach the Full Circle State. This physical body will then also belong to me! Honestly, this body of mine is no match for yours so not only do I desire your soul now, I also desire your flesh as well…”

“Xiao Ye.” Gu Ruoyun turned towards the silver-haired man and curled her lips as she said, “If his soul was given to you, can you break through to the Full Circle State as well?”

Qianbei Ye nodded gently. “Back then, my powers had declined because I had removed his soul from my body. A part of my power still lies within him. If his soul could be merged entirely with mine, I can use this power to break through to the Full Circle State!”
