“What do you want to ask?” Seeing how serious Lin Hai had suddenly become, Chu Lin’er turned serious too.
“I want to ask—is it possible for a person to still be alive right now, but also have been reincarnated as someone else? Two people existing at the same time?” Lin Hai stared at Chu Lin’er without blinking.
“What kind of nonsense is that?” Chu Lin’er tilted her little head, not understanding at all.
Lin Hai rubbed his head, feeling troubled.
“Let me put it this way. For example, you, Princess Lin’er, are here right now. Is it possible that there’s another Princess Lin’er in the mortal world—someone you were reincarnated as? In other words, there’s a you in the underworld and a you in the mortal world, and you’re the same person, existing at the same time.”
“That’s impossible!” Chu Lin’er shook her little head like a rattle drum.
“Impossible?” Lin Hai was stunned.
“Yeah, it’s just not possible. Once someone reincarnates, their previous self no longer exists. A soul can only exist as one living individual.”
“Uh…” Lin Hai was dumbfounded again.
According to what Chu Lin’er said, then Chang’e and Liu Xinyue couldn’t possibly be the same person.
But if they weren’t the same person, then how do you explain the identical appearance, the butterfly birthmark, and the mastery of the Moon Palace Immortal Music?
Damn, why is this so confusing!
Are they the same person or not?!
Lin Hai grabbed his hair in frustration, feeling like his head was about to explode.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Chu Lin’er looked at Lin Hai with surprise.
“Nothing. I’m freaking great.” Lin Hai said angrily.
To hell with it. Whatever will be, will be. Why should I care so much!
As long as I remember that Xinyue is still Xinyue, and she’s my girlfriend, that’s enough. Everything else is none of my damn business!
“By the way, didn’t you want emojis? Call me ‘dear brother’ and I’ll send you a set.” Lin Hai grinned mischievously at Chu Lin’er.
“Pfft, shameless. I’m not calling you that.” Chu Lin’er scrunched up her cute little nose at Lin Hai.
“Not calling? Fine, then no emojis for you.” Lin Hai lay on the bed, crossed his legs, and started swinging them.
“You—” Chu Lin’er was so angry she clenched her little fists. “Ahhhh! Hateful! You’re driving me crazy! You big scoundrel!”
“Hey, are you gonna say it or not? If not, your brother’s leaving. I’ve got things to do.” Lin Hai suddenly sat up and put on his shoes, ready to leave the room.
Chu Lin’er swooshed in front of Lin Hai, blocking him, her beautiful eyes glaring at him angrily.
“Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me?” Lin Hai exclaimed exaggeratedly.
“Pfft, in love with a ghost like you!” Chu Lin’er snapped.
“Hmph, fine, I’ll say it, okay? You just love bullying ghosts.” Chu Lin’er pouted her little mouth aggrievedly.
“Oh? You’ve come around? Then say it, let me hear it.” Lin Hai squinted his eyes and said slyly.
“Dear… dear brother.”
“No, too stiff.”
“Dear brother.”
“Still no good. Not gentle enough.”
“Dear brother.”
“Oh my god, okay, okay, I’m getting goosebumps.”
Lin Hai hugged his arms and rubbed them, then quickly found a set of emojis and sent them to Chu Lin’er.
“Haha, thanks.” Chu Lin’er was so happy she floated straight up to the ceiling.
“Is it really worth being that happy?” Now that his questions were answered, Lin Hai left the house again.
He’d just stepped out when an furious roar came from inside.
“Lin Hai, you jerk! You’re the idiot!” Chu Lin’er looked at the emoji pack called “Idiot Princess” and was so angry she almost threw her phone.
Lin Hai sat down on the living room sofa and sent Chang’e a WeChat message.
He needed to confirm what he was thinking.
Little Confused Immortal: Fairy Chang’e, that Moon Palace Immortal Music you sent me—besides being a singing method, is it also a cultivation technique?
Fairy Chang’e: Yeah, don’t tell me you only just figured that out? Followed by a surprised emoji.
Lin Hai’s face went dark. Damn, of course I only just figured it out.
But getting a definite answer made Lin Hai happy too.
Ever since he got the Dao De Jing, Lin Hai had thought about the problems that would come later.
That is, once he started cultivating immortality, what would happen to his family and loved ones?
Originally, Lin Hai planned to find a suitable time to have his parents, sister, and Xinyue cultivate the Dao De Jing along with him. But very quickly, Lin Hai discovered to his great disappointment that not just anyone could cultivate this Dao De Jing.
To cultivate immortality, the most important thing was to have spiritual roots!
And when Lin Hai checked everyone around him using the method recorded in the Dao De Jing, surprisingly, not a single one of them had spiritual roots.
In other words, not one of them could cultivate immortality like him.
But today, he unexpectedly discovered that Liu Xinyue could actually cultivate through the Moon Palace Immortal Music. This made Lin Hai incredibly happy.
That way, on the path of cultivation in the future, Liu Xinyue could accompany him the whole way.
Thinking of this, Lin Hai felt full of gratitude toward Chang’e.
Little Confused Immortal: This little immortal thanks you for bestowing the cultivation technique, Fairy. I’m endlessly grateful!
Fairy Chang’e: You’re too polite, fellow immortal. That’s just my early-stage cultivation technique, not precious at all. Giving it to you is nothing. Of course, if you really insist on thanking me, you could send me a few more carrots. Followed by a shy emoji.
Pfft!
Lin Hai couldn’t help but laugh. Damn, this Chang’e was actually addicted to eating carrots.
No wonder she kept a rabbit—they had the same tastes.
He went to the kitchen and looked around. There were no carrots at home, but there were cucumbers and eggplants.
“Hehehe…” Lin Hai chuckled wickedly.
Little Confused Immortal: No more carrots. How about this little immortal sends you a cucumber and an eggplant? How’s that? Way more useful than carrots. You can use whichever you want.
Fairy Chang’e: Cucumber? Eggplant? What are those? Also, are these things for using? Not for eating?
When Chang’e ascended, these two things didn’t exist in the mortal world yet.
Pfft!
Lin Hai broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, why did I send that just because I was thinking it?
Thank goodness Fairy Chang’e didn’t understand the meaning behind those words, or she’d have hacked him to pieces.
Little Confused Immortal: I said that wrong just now. They’re for eating, not using. Fairy, please wait. I’ll send them right away.
Lin Hai found two fairly thick and long cucumbers and eggplants, opened WeChat, scanned them, and they disappeared instantly.
Ding dong!
You sent Fairy Chang’e a cucumber.
You sent Fairy Chang’e an eggplant.
Fairy Chang’e: Wow, they look so tasty! Thank you, thank you. Followed by a grateful emoji.
Little Confused Immortal: Don’t mention it, Fairy. Use whichever you want.
Little Confused Immortal: Wrong again. I mean, eat whichever you want.
Lin Hai broke out in a heavy sweat.
Fairy Chang’e: Mmhm, these things must be very precious, right? I can’t bear to eat them. I’m planning to just lick them a little every day. That way one stick can last me a whole year. Followed by a shy emoji.
Pfft!
Lin Hai nearly spat out his drink.
His mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Chang’e licking the cucumber and eggplant with her fragrant tongue, and it instantly felt incredibly sensual.
Damn, this Fairy Chang’e was a real character. Everyone else was naturally airheaded, but this one was naturally dirty!
Just then, Lin Hai’s phone rang.
“Hm?” He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression instantly turned serious.
