Chapter 181 Two People as Souls (Chapter 2: Holy Land)
In the dark and empty abyss, Lingyi's body fell slowly. Without any reference object, it was impossible to tell whether Lingyi was falling fast or slow. However, judging from the slight swaying of his pajamas, it should be a slow descent.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi." Long Er's voice came from all directions, and snow-white light particles slowly condensed on Lingyi's chest.
Long Er appeared on Ling Yi's body, put his hands under Ling Yi's armpits, hugged Ling Yi's body, gently leaned his forehead against Ling Yi's forehead, and quietly called Ling Yi.
"Xiaoyi, wake up quickly, Xiaoyi."
"Well, this is..." Lingyi opened her eyes slightly, her snow-white skin shining brightly in the endless darkness. In a daze, it seemed that Long'er's figure slowly appeared in front of her, raised her hand slightly, and gently stroked her cheek, "Long'er, is that you..."
Suddenly, Lingyi felt an icy coolness at his fingertips, which instantly made the originally dazed Lingyi lose all sleepiness. He stared blankly at the pretty Long'er in front of him.
"Long'er? You, what's wrong with you..." Lingyi touched Long'er's cheek. The snow-white skin was full of collagen and elastic. Although the snow-white skin was cold, he could feel a little warmth wrapped in it, especially the two big balls on his chest. The familiar feeling of oppression made Lingyi's blood boil for a while. "Long'er, it's really you. How did your body recover?"
"Pfft." Long Er smiled slightly, loosened his arms around Ling Yi, and moved to Ling Yi's chest, resting his fingertips lightly on his collarbone. His pair of blue eyes blinked smartly, and he smiled at Ling Yi, "Why, my recovery makes you so happy?"
"You, your eyes!" Lingyi saw that Long Er's eyes were looking at him with bright eyes, not dull like before. Even for a moment, there was no common visual effect between him and Long Er in his eyes.
Although Long Er had been able to leave Ling Yi's body and possess the magical doll made by Ling Yi, and could only meet Long Er for one or two hours a day, even so, Long Er's senses were not restored after all, and she still could not see Ling Yi, touch Ling Yi, or talk to Ling Yi.
What she saw was, after all, the shared vision brought to her by Lingyi's eyes. The actions of the magic puppet were, after all, just the shared sense of touch of Lingyi's body that gave Long'er feedback, making Long'er know that the place he touched was correct.
Lingyi blamed himself more than once or twice for Long'er's body. The moment Long'er's body was restored in the secret realm of the strange beasts also made Lingyi more determined to restore Long'er. But what followed was deeper self-blame and disgust.
At this moment, Long Er's body functions were restored. Even if his fingertips were icy and cold, he could still feel the melody of Long Er's heartbeat, his gradually warming skin, and his freely moving body.
Even if it is just a dream, it is worth it to have such an unprecedented and real dream.
Contradiction. A contradictory thought echoed in Lingyi's mind more than once. Lingyi longed for such a beautiful dream to never end. He was willing to travel in this dream forever. If Long Er could only appear in dreams, then he could meet him in dreams.
Lingyi may be a little bit paranoid about missing Long Er. Even if this matter is beyond reality, he is still obsessed with it.
Fortunately, this paranoid feeling did not make Lingyi lose his way. This is also where the contradiction arises.
Lingyi wants to live in a dream, but he cannot forget Long'er's current situation. Long'er is not his property, but a living person. The one who appears in his dream is Long'er whom he loves, not Long'er as an ordinary person.
Because of the love for Long Er, he immersed himself in the dream of meeting Long Er and ignored the facts that Long Er faced in reality. This was an escape and just a way to satisfy his own desires.
After a brief brainstorm, Lingyi looked at Long Er in front of him with a firm gaze and said coldly: "I'm sorry, Long Er, although I really want to live here with you forever, but I can't live here forever."
"Huh?" Long Er tilted his head and looked at Ling Yi with great confusion.
Lingyi's eyes remained the same, but now there was a hint of sharpness in them: "You should not live only in my dreams, and I will not allow you to live only in my dreams."
"What are you thinking about!" Long Er suddenly raised his hand and knocked Ling Yi on the head without hesitation.
The pain spread from his forehead to his whole body. Lingyi couldn't help but hold his head and yelled, "Ah! It hurts!"
“Oh, you still feel pain!” Long Er said, stretching out his hand to pull Ling Yi’s cheek, “You don’t even understand the current situation, and you say you don’t want to live here with me? It seems that I am too kind to you. The harem I recruited for you has attracted your heart!”
Looking at Long Er's fierce abuse, Ling Yi was unable to resist and could only silently admit his mistake: "Right, I'm sorry..." Ling Yi's cheeks were slightly deformed by Long Er's pulling, and Ling Yi couldn't even say "I'm sorry" clearly.
"Oh, you still know how to admit your mistake!" Long Er's eyes became fierce again, staring at Ling Yi so hard that his hair stood on end. "So I guessed it right? You, have you really been seduced by a few concubines?"
"No, no..." Ling Yiyi was speechless for a moment, but with Long'er pulling his cheek, he couldn't even utter two or three words clearly, let alone argue.
"Hey! You still dare to resist! What did I say wrong?" After Long'er said that, she pinched Lingyi's cheeks with both hands and pulled them hard to both sides, forcing Lingyi's mouth to be torn open.
"Ahhh...I was wrong, wife." Lingyi begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Humph, you still know I'm your wife!" Perhaps the word "wife" had a suppressive effect on Long Er, so that Ling Yi only said two words, Long Er's face flushed, although he still pouted reluctantly, but his hands had already let go of Ling Yi's cheeks. He stood up again, sat on Ling Yi's chest and abdomen, and crossed his hands under his chest.
Lingyi rubbed his cheek quickly and tried to change the subject: "Speaking of which, you said this place..."
"Hmm?" Long Er's eyes became sharp again and stared at Ling Yi.
Lingyi shuddered again and quickly changed the topic: "Uh, uh. Speaking of which, honey, you said this is not a dream, then where is this place?"
Long Er's mood improved a little: "This is Xiao Yi's spiritual sea, where I have always lived."
"Sea of Spirit?" Lingyi said, looking around curiously, but all he saw was darkness and nothingness. It seemed that the Sea of Spirit had many ways out compared to his concept and understanding of it. "Then, Long'er, you..."
"Hmm?" Long Er's eyes became sharp again.
Lingyi immediately changed the topic in a panic: "Wife, wife, hey, hey, what's wrong with your body now, why can I touch you, and have your facial features recovered?"
"It's not that easy." Long Er said regretfully, and stretched out his hands to lie on Lingyi again, and his two hands quietly came to the position of Lingyi's neck, "Losing your five senses, in a sense, just means that you can't perceive the world over there. But you are now in the sea of spirituality, which is the world I am in, so you can naturally contact me."
"As for the physical condition you mentioned, I think that's probably the reason. Xiaoyi is in that world and can't contact me as a soul. He can only contact me indirectly through other media. Now that Xiaoyi has entered the sea of spirits, your own body has also become a soul, so you can naturally contact me."
Lingyi pondered for a moment and said calmly, "So that's how it is. The reason why my wife and I can't sense each other now is because we have become people from two different worlds. But if we can sense each other directly through some kind of medium, then we can sense each other. In that world, we share our five senses, but in this world..."
Lingyi was thinking and suddenly paused.
"Speaking of which, why am I here?" Lingyi suddenly asked a key question, and then immediately widened his eyes, "I, I won't die physically too! Ah! I shouldn't use a skill that consumes so much energy!"
Long Er was furious, and only gradually calmed down when Ling Yi kept calling him "wife". However, Ling Yi's words ignited Long Er's anger again, and he couldn't help but raise his fist and hit Ling Yi's head again: "What are you talking about! Don't say such unlucky words!"
"Ah! It hurts!" Lingyi covered his forehead and closed his eyes to endure the pain.
"It seems that the thing that called you over here is that thing." Long Er said, stretching out his hand and pointing behind Ling Yi.
"Hmm? What is that?" Lingyi said, following Long'er's outstretched hand, and slowly turned his head back, only to find that his body seemed to be slowly falling. And below him, in the endless darkness, there was a cross star, flashing in Lingyi's direction, and shaking slowly.
"Descendants of the Ling family, come quickly..."
A female voice suddenly came from their ears, alerting Lingyi and Long Er.
"What's that sound?" Lingyi asked vigilantly.
Long Er also shook his head: "I don't know, this sound has been ringing for a long time, I have always heard it."
"Ah? It's always been like this? How long?" Lingyi asked hurriedly.
"Since the time when Xiao Yi and I fainted." Long Er recalled, "The magic power consumed by the "Time Cycle" that day was too great, and even my magic power was drained by Xiao Yi. With the recovery of the Saint's Mark, I woke up earlier than Xiao Yi, and after waking up, I kept hearing this voice."
"Really? How long have I been unconscious?" Lingyi asked again.
Long Er shook his head: "I don't know either. Xiao Yi's body hasn't woken up yet, and I can't control Xiao Yi's body for a while. I can't feel the passage of time in that world, so I don't know how much time has passed."
"Is that so..." Lingyi said, his eyes gradually looking towards the white cross light below, and he nervously held Long'er's little hand, and asked anxiously, "Are you scared?"
Long Er stared at Ling Yi blankly.
She didn't understand what Zero One was afraid of at this moment, because compared to the Goblin King outside Nord City, the Plum Blossom Throne of the Cult in the Secret Realm of Exotic Beasts, and even the desperate brother and sister fighting in the palace and the aliens who called themselves "Demons", the cross of white light under the two of them at this moment had lost a lot of the aura of killing and violence, and instead felt very gentle and familiar.
For some reason, the woman's voice sounded like a companion who had always been by my side. Deep down, I trusted her so much that if it weren't for my ideals, I would have rushed over without hesitation. It was probably a skill like an illusion that used sound as a medium.
But is it just because of this? Just because of this, will Lingyi ask Long Er if he is afraid?
Although both Lingyi and Long'er were souls and could not merge into one, they could fight together just like they did in the dragon clan's secret maze. Long'er was extremely confident in his cooperation with Lingyi and believed that no one could stop them, so he didn't understand why Lingyi said such a thing.
The same was true for Lingyi himself. His thoughts were the same as Long Er's, but the reason he hesitated, was a little timid, and was afraid to move forward was just because of a simple reason.
"If a battle breaks out next and you get injured, will it directly affect your soul and thus..." Lingyi lowered his head, constantly searching for clues that could break the current deadlock, and unknowingly expressed his inner concerns.
Long Er's originally puzzled expression disappeared in an instant, gradually turning into shock, relief, and a sense of happiness that overflowed from the bottom of his heart.
