“Hey! Where are you taking Xiao Yi?”
Bai Luoshuang shouted, following closely behind Su Qiulian.
Although she cared about Xiao Yi’s feelings and wouldn’t fight Su Qiulian again, she wasn’t about to let the woman just carry Shen Qingyi away right in front of her!
“Little Shen is asleep now, so of course I’m taking her back to sleep!”
Su Qiulian replied indifferently.
She didn’t even bother to look back.
“I’m coming too!”
With that, Bai Luoshuang stood beside her, regardless of whether Su Qiulian agreed or not.
Gazing at the peaceful way Shen Qingyi slept in the other woman’s arms, she said, “How long have you been holding her? Switch with me!”
“Oh?”
Su Qiulian finally glanced at her, letting out a light chuckle before moving to hand Shen Qingyi over.
Bai Luoshuang happily reached out to take her, but she discovered that Shen Qingyi had unconsciously wrapped her arms tightly around Su Qiulian’s neck.
The moment she moved, the girl let out a soft whine, refusing to let go.
There was nothing for it; Su Qiulian would have to keep carrying her.
Bai Luoshuang looked quite sulky.
Following Su Qiulian toward the center of the city, she suddenly asked, “Do you also have a past life with Xiao Yi?”
Su Qiulian nodded silently.
At the same time, she adjusted her hold on Shen Qingyi, letting her sleep more comfortably in her arms.
The girl was likely exhausted.
During the final moments in the Six Desires Life Realm, Pei Xianyun had been distracted by her sudden attack on Su Meiyin, causing the realm to become unstable and nearly striking them again.
Shen Qingyi had fainted immediately after they emerged.
Fortunately, it was just fatigue; otherwise, they would have been worried to death.
After walking a bit further, Bai Luoshuang continued, “How did you and Xiao Yi meet? I mean, in your previous life!”
“When asking others, shouldn’t the Jian Zun speak of her own situation first? Do you know how I felt when I discovered your Sword Intent on Little Shen’s Soul in this life?”
Su Qiulian’s voice remained calm, but to Bai Luoshuang, her tone sounded extremely hostile.
However, Bai Luoshuang quickly reacted to the information.
“Sword Intent? So the Sword Intent didn’t disappear—you’re the one who erased it?”
Su Qiulian nodded.
She added, “Now we can talk properly. I am certain that Little Shen never betrayed me in my past life, and she never had the chance to look for you. How exactly did you meet her?”
“Me? I don’t think Xiao Yi would have betrayed me in her past life either. She and I met in Hao Ren Town!”
Bai Luoshuang declared.
Once she finished speaking, Su Qiulian stopped abruptly, looking at her in disbelief.
“You also met Xiao Yi in Hao Ren Town in your past life? That’s impossible!”
“How is it impossible? Xiao Yi and I met at the Teahouse, and from then on, we fell in love and became close…”
“But in my previous life, I also met Little Shen at the Hao Ren Town Teahouse!”
“…”
“…”
For a moment, they stared at each other in silence.
The two of them suddenly realized that the problem seemed to lie right there.
Almost simultaneously, they asked, “What exactly was your past life with Little Shen like?!”
“…”
“…”
“You go first this time!”
Bai Luoshuang shouted.
Su Qiulian began her narration, starting from the moment she met Shen Qingyi until the moment she was reborn, recounting everything to Bai Luoshuang in detail.
After listening, Bai Luoshuang shared her own past life with Xiao Yi with a look of confusion.
Once everything had been said and heard, the two of them fell into silence once more.
After a long while, Su Qiulian murmured, “This shouldn’t be possible… I clearly fought you in my past life. How could you have never met me?”
The accounts they had just shared were vastly different.
For instance, in Su Qiulian’s world, she met and fell in love with Shen Qingyi only after a great battle with Bai Luoshuang.
Yet, in Bai Luoshuang’s world, she had never even seen this Demon Emperor.
Similarly, in Su Qiulian’s world, Shen Qingyi died under the coercion of those Great Demons.
In Bai Luoshuang’s world, however, she died during a siege by the Demon Clan during the Great Human-Demon War.
The two stories seemed similar, but they were actually completely different!
Furthermore, from beginning to end, no matter which life it was, Shen Qingyi had basically stayed by their side the entire time.
It was impossible for her to have been involved with the other person.
Yet, the Shen Qingyi of this life knew both of them, recognized them, and remembered bits and pieces about their past lives.
Could it be that the Shen Qingyi of this current life was both of their Shen Qingyis—that the two versions of her had overlapped in this life?
What was this?
A Superposition Shen Qingyi?
That was too ridiculous!
But based on Shen Qingyi’s previous attitude toward them, it seemed to be the truth.
“My Xiao Yi is also your Little Shen, and your Little Shen is also my Xiao Yi. And in this life, they have fused together?”
Bai Luoshuang stood there dazed, muttering to herself.
That would make sense.
No wonder Xiao Yi had said she wasn’t sure what her relationship with them was in her past life, yet she wanted both of them at the same time.
It turned out to be this kind of situation!
“It’s likely the case… Now we can only wait for Little Shen to wake up and ask her exactly what she remembers!”
Su Qiulian murmured.
“Yeah…”
Bai Luoshuang nodded.
“…”
At that moment, these two formerly opposing women suddenly reached a strange understanding.
They no longer argued over who Shen Qingyi belonged to.
Now, they were more eager to figure out Shen Qingyi’s condition and the incomprehensible mystery of their rebirth.
Moreover, the most baffling point was that, chronologically, they had met Shen Qingyi at almost the same time in their past lives.
However, the developments were different, and despite those different paths, they both shared the same ending:
Shen Qingyi dying tragically before their eyes.
Perhaps this life might end the same way?
Invisibly, it seemed as though an organization called the “Shen Qingyi Protection Society” had been formed, and currently, it only had two members.
Night had already fallen.
The two arrived at the previous inn in silence and entered the same room.
Once they reached the bed, Su Qiulian leaned over to lay Shen Qingyi down, but her collar was gripped tightly by the girl.
At the same time, Shen Qingyi whimpered in her sleep, desperately burying her face into Su Qiulian’s chest.
Su Qiulian was stunned.
It wasn’t like this before.
Previously, she was the one desperately trying to bury herself in Shen Qingyi’s embrace.
How had it reversed?
But then, Su Qiulian understood.
It was likely because they had gone through the Vortex of Love and Desire.
‘Maybe Little Shen doesn’t reject me anymore?’
Thinking this, Su Qiulian couldn’t help but smile happily.
She then lay down while holding Shen Qingyi.
Bai Luoshuang was unhappy.
Even if they weren’t fighting, Shen Qingyi was still her Xiao Yi, wasn’t she?
“You’ve been holding her for so long. Why are you still holding her?!”
“Didn’t you see? Little Shen won’t let go of me. She wants me to hold her!”
Su Qiulian said smugly.
Bai Luoshuang was speechless, but she wasn’t about to give up like this.
Thus, she chose to lie down as well, wrapping her arms around Shen Qingyi’s waist from behind and resting her chin on the girl’s shoulder.
By doing this, she was directly facing Su Qiulian with Shen Qingyi sandwiched between them.
“…Couldn’t you just… never mind.”
Looking at Bai Luoshuang’s face, Su Qiulian started to speak but stopped.
In the end, the two reached a silent agreement and closed their eyes.
They stopped looking at each other and instead felt the warmth of Shen Qingyi in their arms as they drifted off to sleep.
They were enjoying the embrace, but in her dreams, Shen Qingyi felt as if she were being coiled by a giant python and was about to be strangled to death.
“Mmph…”
Shen Qingyi frowned in discomfort.
Suddenly, she kicked out in both directions, sent both Su Qiulian and Bai Luoshuang tumbling off the bed in her sleep.
“This…”
After climbing back up, the two looked at each other, both wearing expressions of helplessness.
They climbed back onto the bed and straightened Shen Qingyi out.
This time, neither of them tried to hold her, sleeping properly on either side of her instead.
