"No, no, not at all! She fell asleep last night and hasn't woken up yet. Isn't that normal? She's been like this for the past few days, sleeping for more than ten hours and only awake for about an hour," Xue said, startled by Xing Chen's expression.
"An hour? Didn't you give her the Dragon Blood Fruit?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth.
At this moment, Xueqing finally sensed that something was wrong and quickly pulled Xue behind her, fearing that Xing Chen might lash out at Xue in his fury.
"Xing Chen, what's going on?" Xueqing asked with a furrowed brow.
"I... I did give her the Dragon Blood Fruit, and I watched her take it myself," Xue said, peeking out from behind Xueqing, looking at Xing Chen with some trepidation.
She was genuinely frightened by Xing Chen's angry demeanor, feeling like a girl who had done something wrong facing an adult's reprimand.
"Child, this isn't her fault. Meng Xiner chose to fall into a deep sleep. It seems your beloved wants to do one last thing for you: to buy you more time so you don't push yourself too hard," Hate Emperor said.
"Why? Why is this happening? I shouldn't have left her... If I had been by her side all the time, she definitely wouldn't be in this deep sleep..." Pain was evident on Xing Chen's face as he felt a pang in his heart.
"This isn't your fault; it's her choice. However, there are benefits to this. At least she can hold on for another year. This means you have double the time compared to before; you now have two years to break the Hundred-Day Blood Curse," Hate Emperor sighed.
"Two years? You want Meng Xin'er to sleep alone for two years? I absolutely won't allow that. I must wake her up; I will definitely wake her up..." Xing Chen had already entered the room.
Xueqing and Xue exchanged glances and followed Xing Chen into the room.
"Hate Emperor, tell me quickly what I need to do to wake her up! No matter what, I won't let her sleep alone for two years," Xing Chen said through gritted teeth.
"There’s nothing I can do. She is in a self-induced sleep right now; I can't wake her unless she chooses to wake up herself or if the Hundred-Day Blood Curse is broken," Hate Emperor shook his head.
"Meng Xin'er, why did you choose to sleep? Why? I can break the Hundred-Day Blood Curse within a year; why don’t you believe me? Why..." Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner peacefully sleeping on the bed, gazing at the serene smile on her face, feeling even more pain in his heart.
"I'm sorry; it's my fault for not taking good care of her..." Xue Jian said softly upon seeing how distressed Xing Chen was.
"Meng Xin'er, Meng Xin'er..." Xing Chen seemed to ignore the words about snow and continued to murmur while looking at Meng Xin'er's sleeping face, "Why don't you believe me? I can save you, I definitely can save you. Why won't you listen to me?"
"Child, you must respect her choice; she is doing this for your own good..." Hate Emperor spoke up to advise.
"Don't say anymore, I don't want to hear this." Before Hate Emperor could finish, Xing Chen interrupted him.
"In fact, I have another method that can allow you to speak with her for a moment, but her slumber is unavoidable," Hate Emperor said after a pause.
"What method? Tell me quickly! What is it?" Upon hearing Hate Emperor's words, Xing Chen shouted anxiously.
"You can use your soul to enter her body and then communicate directly with her soul using the Soul Formula recorded in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. However, this cannot take too long; otherwise, her soul will be devoured by the Blood Dragon birthed from the Hundred-Day Blood Curse," Hate Emperor explained.
Originally, he did not want to tell Xing Chen this method, but seeing Xing Chen in such pain made him unable to bear it, so he ultimately revealed it.
"Soul Formula?" Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly. Indeed, there was a Soul Formula in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, but he had always regarded this technique as unimportant—something tasteless yet too valuable to discard. He never expected that the very thing he usually overlooked would become crucial now.
"That's right. The Soul Formula can connect with a person's true heart, which is the person's Heart Soul. This Heart Soul is more important than the three souls: the soul, earth soul, and Fate Soul. People only know that humans have three souls and seven spirits but are unaware that there is one most important Heart Soul. Without the Heart Soul, one cannot be considered a person."
"As for what exactly the Heart Soul refers to, I'm not entirely sure; after all, I've only heard of it. However, the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique definitely records what the Heart Soul truly is."
Hate Emperor slowly narrated. The concept of the Heart Soul was discovered by the Soul Devourer, and it spread from his lips.
Before this, everyone only knew that humans had three souls and seven spirits but were unaware of the existence of the most important Heart Soul. Moreover, Hate Emperor had heard from the Soul Devourer that Punishment seemed to be a person without a Heart Soul. He possessed all three souls and seven spirits but lacked the most crucial Heart Soul.
The Heart Soul, whether in ordinary people or powerful beings, even in demons and monsters, everyone possesses a Heart Soul. The only exception is Punishment, who is devoid of a Heart Soul. Throughout history, besides Punishment, no one else has been without a Heart Soul.
As for the specific function of the Heart Soul, no one knows except for the Soul Devourer. However, since the Heart Soul is more important than the three earthly souls, its effects must be quite significant.
At this moment, Xing Chen finally found the passage about the Soul Formula recorded in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique.
"Heart Soul is the foundation of the human body. Without Heart Soul, one cannot be called a human..." Upon reading the opening of Soul Formula, Xing Chen was slightly taken aback.
Heart Soul is the foundation of the human body? The first sentence left Xing Chen puzzled. It is well known that what truly constitutes the foundation of a human being is Fate Soul. Without Fate Soul, a person cannot be considered human; at best, they can only be regarded as a living corpse.
But what exactly is this Heart Soul? How can it be more important than Fate Soul?
"Heart Soul is the soul that governs human emotions. Humans have Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and Heart Soul is where Seven Emotions and Six Desires are directed. Without Heart Soul, there would be no Seven Emotions or Six Desires..."
At this point, Xing Chen finally understood why Soul Devourer placed such high importance on Heart Soul. If Soul Devourer was not mistaken, then indeed, Heart Soul is more important than Fate Soul.
After all, without Heart Soul, there would be no Seven Emotions or Six Desires. And without Seven Emotions or Six Desires, how can one be called a person? At most, they could only be considered a thinking machine, which is truly worse than a beast, since even beasts possess Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
What shocked Xing Chen the most was that Soul Devourer claimed that Punishment was a person without a Heart Soul. This was something that Xing Chen could hardly believe. After all, he thought of Punishment as his ancestor. If he lacked Seven Emotions and Six Desires, then what about the Xing Family of Zhongzhou? Wasn't it a family left behind by him? And since he left behind a family and his own bloodline, how could he possibly be someone without a Heart Soul?
"I didn't understand the mystery of Heart Soul before, but now it seems that indeed, Punishment is someone without a Heart Soul, because I feel not a trace of human emotion from him. As stated by Soul Devourer, Punishment truly lacks a Heart Soul!" At this moment, even the Hate Emperor realized the mystery of the Heart Soul, and he sighed deeply.
Although he also found this hard to believe, it was an undeniable fact that Punishment lacked a Heart Soul.
