After not seeing each other for seven hundred years, the two of them obviously had a lot to say to each other, but at this moment, neither of them wanted to talk. They just wanted to cuddle up quietly like this, as if they could feel each other's body temperature like this.
What a great gift.
After a long time, Die'er finally spoke: "Dongchen, don't hurt Fanfan because of me, she is innocent."
"Just pull out your seventh soul, she won't die."
Dongchen said.
"But she won't be complete. If she loses one soul, she will be a remnant soul. I can't bear it. It's already been seven hundred years, and I can't wait for another few decades. Can we just wait a little longer?"
Die'er advised him.
Dong Chen told her the truth: "Her name is not in the book of life and death. She is a person who will enter the heaven. Unless she commits suicide, your seventh soul will always be in her soul."
Die'er was stunned for a while and then said: "What if she is willing to stay in the human world?"
"impossible."
Dong Chen said: "She has been cultivating since she was a child. She is extremely talented. She can become an immortal and enter the heaven. How can she stay in the human world?"
"Not always."
Die'er smiled: "She likes Tang Muchen. Tang Muchen is in the human world. I think she might be willing to give up and become an immortal."
Dong Chen understood what she meant: "You want to ask her?"
Die'er nodded.
Dongchen compromised: "If she is willing to stay in the human world, I am also willing to wait for a few more decades."
Unless he had to, he didn't want to forcefully separate Die'er's seventh soul.
So Die'er entered the sea of consciousness, and saw Fanfan there. Fanfan looked at her in confusion, and the first thing he said was to ask her: "Am I dead?"
"Don't worry, you're not dead."
Die'er smiled at her: "I'm sorry, it was my seventh soul that accidentally entered your body."
She felt relieved knowing that she was not dead, and waved her hand: "It's useless to talk about this now. Just tell me what you think. Do you want to take away your seventh soul?"
Die'er quite liked her straightforwardness, so she did not beat around the bush and said: "Dong Chen said that your name is not in the book of life and death, and that you are the one who will become an immortal and enter the heaven in the future.
You like Tang Muchen, right? If you were asked to choose between him and Chengxian, who would you choose?"
"Of course I choose my elder brother. What's so good about becoming an immortal? There is no elder brother in heaven."
Fanfan gave the answer without thinking.
Die'er smiled: "I read you right, then the problem is solved."
"Um?"
Fanfan didn’t understand.
Die'er explained: "I have discussed with Dong Chen. If you give up becoming an immortal and are willing to stay in the human world as a mortal and spend this life with Tang Muchen, then we will wait for your soul to return to the underworld automatically after a hundred years."
.”
Fanfan was surprised: "You have been waiting for seven hundred years and you are still willing to wait?"
"I've been waiting for seven hundred years, and I don't mind waiting for a few more decades. Mortal life is limited, and you won't live for hundreds of years."
Die'er is joking.
Food doesn't matter how long you live, the important thing is not how long you live, but whether Tang Muchen is around you while you are alive.
After deciding on this matter, Die'er left the sea of consciousness. Now Fanfan's body is still dominated by her soul. She and Fanfan share the seventh soul, so they are relatively a complete three souls and seven souls.
Dong Chen's ability to control Tang Muchen's body and mind was entirely a back-up he had left before his reincarnation. He was afraid that if something happened in the underworld that required him to come back, he would not be able to control his reincarnated body.
If he no longer wants to control Tang Muchen, he only needs to sleep consciously, and he and Tang Muchen can also communicate with each other. When Die'er went to meet Fanfan, he also communicated with Tang Muchen.
Die'er told him Fanfan's answer, and Dongchen nodded. It was both expected and unexpected.
"Then send them back to the human world now?"
Dieer asked Dongchen.
Dong Chen shook his head and took her hand: "We haven't seen each other for seven hundred years. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"
Of course Die'er wanted to, but she was embarrassed to keep occupying Fanfan's body.
"Let's go, don't worry, the glutinous rice balls are still waiting for you."
Dongchen led her outside.
Die'er struggled for a while and then gave up. She really missed Dongchen and Tangyuan so much that she hadn't held her child in her arms for seven hundred years.
