"Let go of me! You bastard! Let go of me!"
Yu Jizi had awakened, but he was not fully conscious. He struggled to break free from the ropes binding him, yet he could not muster even a trace of Celestial Energy.
Li Xiaonan crouched beside Yu Jizi, watching the once-Mad Master lose his mind, feeling a deep sense of unease within.
Sitting on the ground with his knees hugged to his chest, Li Xiaonan gazed out at the sky, lost in thought.
If it weren't for the Harmony Technique, perhaps I would have ended up like my master?
Martial Soul Technique... why did it have to be the Martial Soul Technique?
Li Xiaonan couldn't understand. His fingers twitched, and a Jade Eye Tablet appeared in his hand; it was indeed the Martial Soul Technique.
But he didn't look at it, for every word of the Martial Soul Technique was deeply imprinted in his mind.
These words seemed to come alive, flowing repeatedly through Li Xiaonan's thoughts.
No problem! No problem at all! Why does the Martial Soul Technique cause one to lose their true self?
What is this really asking?
Suddenly, Li Xiaonan stood up, roaring as if possessed by a horse, veins bulging on his forehead as he began to mutter to himself within the room.
His madness surpassed that of Yu Jizi just moments before.
The previously frantic Yu Jizi paused, intrigued as he looked at his disciple.
At that moment, the "Landlord" in the courtyard continued with its usual activities.
Yun Moyu lightly tapped her fingers on the table and said, "It's no use thinking about it; that girl won't be coming back! But it's fine! One less woman for Xiao Nan."
Fei Ji replied, "You can't say that. One Becomes One still needs to be practiced."
"Isn't there still that little girl, Hong Lian? I see she gets along quite well with Xiao Nan. Oh, and there's that Little Black Girl too; when she looks at Xiao Nan, her eyes are full of admiration!" Yun Moyu laughed.
Chen Mo sighed and said, "That may be true, but you all know Xiao Nan is someone who values old feelings. He can't let go of Fisher's Song."
"What does it matter if he can't let go? Didn't he also struggle to move on from Sister Yanrong? But dead is dead, gone is gone!" Yun Moyu retorted irritably.
Chen Mo's lips curled slightly as he glanced at Mo Shang and said, "We should thank that goddess! If it weren't for her, Fisher's Song wouldn't have suddenly gained such a high status in Xiao Nan's heart."
Mo Shang clenched her hands tightly around her skirt.
She thought angrily: What do these women mean?
Thank me? Am I the one who made Fisher's Song so important?
Hah! When did I become the stepping stone for that humble person? How infuriating!
Lost in her thoughts, Mo Shang suddenly stood up and struck the stone table with her palm, shattering it.
The other three women showed no signs of panic.
Chen Mo stood up, brushed off the dust that had splattered onto him, and smiled. "Though I'm not familiar with Fisher's Song, I've heard you all say she's a very gentle girl. Xiao Nan has always preferred softness over toughness; what a pity..."
She cast a disdainful glance at Mo Shang.
Mo Shang was furious and shouted, "Are you all done yet?"
Fei Ji laughed and replied, "Not even close! You still have two weeks left on your bet with Xiao Nan! We advise you to stop wasting your efforts on Xiao Nan. Even though you look a lot like Fisher's Song, he won't like you. Your personality is just too different from his!"
As soon as the words left their mouths, the three of them left before Mo Shang could explode in anger.
Mo Shang was completely stunned!
It was clearly Li Xiaonan who had come to seek her out, so how had it turned into her trying to curry favor with Li Xiaonan?
And that comment about being "too different"—what did that even mean?
Am I not better than my own split personality?
Li Xiaonan, you bastard!
All the women around you are bastards too!
Mo Shang couldn't swallow her anger and smashed the stone bench where Chen Mo and the others had sat into pieces.
The shattered stones turned to dust, but Mo Shang's eyes were still filled with fury as she continued to strike.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her right wrist tightly. Mo Shang frowned, not having time to think, and retaliated with her other hand.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow slightly, shifted his body, and caught the incoming hand with his left, using force to pin Mo Shang in place and pull her into his embrace.
Mo Shang finally came to her senses and exclaimed, "Is it you?"
"It is me," Li Xiaonan replied with a faint smile. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Did Aunt arrive?"
Mo Shang's face flushed, and she quickly broke free from Li Xiaonan's embrace. She retorted, "Do you even care about our bet?"
"Of course I do. I was just a bit busy before and neglected you. My apologies," Li Xiaonan said sincerely.
Mo Shang raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: Hmph! What were you busy with? Busy sleeping with your woman? Don't think I don't know!
"By the way, do you have time now? Let's go out for a stroll," Li Xiaonan invited.
Mo Shang was taken aback, secretly pleased: You impatient little brat! Hmph! I won't go with you!
She suddenly lifted her head and declared, "I'm going! I'm tired!"
"Was Aunt really here? Then you should rest well!" Li Xiaonan laughed as he turned to leave, leaving Mo Shang with a handsome silhouette.
"Xiao Nan! I miss Obedient Dragon II!" Fei Ji suddenly appeared, throwing herself into Li Xiaonan's arms with a dreamy expression.
"I want to go too!" Yun Moyu also ran over with a charming smile.
Li Xiaonan playfully pinched the cheeks of the two girls and said, "Alright! Gather the others; it's been a while since we had Eight Immortals Cross the Sea."
"Okay!" The two girls nodded and went off to find others.
Before leaving, they couldn't help but glance at Mo Shang with a look that said it all: Xiao Nan is ours! Don't even think about interfering!
Mo Shang felt as if a resentful woman had taken residence in her heart.
She couldn't help but regret not accepting Li Xiaonan's invitation; at least then, she wouldn't have to deal with a few immature girls getting on her nerves.
"Sigh..." A light sigh escaped her lips as Li Xiaonan leaned against a nearby phoenix tree, looking somewhat dejected.
His expression was somewhat melancholic, half an act for Mo Shang and half genuine emotion.
He turned to Mo Shang and said, "You are a deity. Do you think everything here is governed by some unseen force?"
Mo Shang furrowed her brows slightly and replied, "Yes, only by becoming a deity can one transcend their original fate."
"Is that so? Fate?" Li Xiaonan slowly crouched down, his gaze fixed on the dense branches above. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, still glaringly bright.
His eyes glistened with moisture as he muttered to himself, "My fate always seems to play tricks on me. I used to think that One Becomes One was easy. When I learned that Yanrong had died, it felt like a corner of the nine-square board was missing. Then Mo came along, and I thought everything could be completed, but Fisher's Song left..."
Mo Shang frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable.
This man was being overly sentimental again; it was truly pathetic!
Only that foolish girl Fisher's Song would ever like him.
Li Xiaonan chuckled softly a couple of times, but the gloomy atmosphere suddenly turned cold—colder and colder, transforming into a killing intent.
"I will definitely hunt down that guy who enjoys toying with others' fates!" Li Xiaonan slowly stood up. The sunlight was warm, but it couldn't compete with the chill radiating from him.
In that moment, Mo Shang was completely taken aback. Although she knew that Li Xiaonan's killing intent wasn't directed at her and that his strength was no match for hers, she was still intimidated by his aura.
“Xiao Nan!” Ling Kui led seven girls floating down from the sky.
The cold killing intent vanished in an instant, and he smiled as he moved away with Ling Kui and the others.
Mo Shang let out a gentle breath, feeling a sense of confusion and loss for the first time, all because of a man.
She slowly walked to the Phoenix Tree where Li Xiaonan had leaned against, lost in thought.
Her consciousness gradually sank, falling into her Spirit Platform.
On the Jade Bed lay another “self,” but this version was much weaker than her own.
Mo Shang slowly raised her hand, and a beam of light fell onto the forehead of the girl.
Fisher's Song slowly opened her eyes, gazing around in confusion. When her gaze landed on Mo Shang's face, she froze.
Mo Shang stood there with a blank expression, clearly seeing the fear in “her” eyes.
Indeed, this useless “self” seemed quite compatible with that pretentious Li Xiaonan.
“I remember you! You saved me before! Thank you!”
Mo Shang was taken aback and chuckled self-deprecatingly. Sitting on the spirit bed, she said, “You are me, I am you; I just saved myself. Fisher's Song.”
“Hmm?”
“I want to ask you a question.”
"What?"
"What kind of person is Li Xiaonan?"
Inside the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Leisure Palace, Li Xiaonan had just experienced a thrilling Eight Immortals Cross the Sea with the girls.
He patted the girls' faces, kissing each one in turn, feeling quite satisfied, yet his desire for power grew increasingly insatiable.
With only a week left until the bet with Mo Shang, it was time to take action.
If possible, Li Xiaonan didn't want to resort to tricks, but time was running short.
He clenched his fist secretly, then relaxed it again. He walked to the door, where the girls behind him cheered in unison, "Hubby! Go for it! Make it happen!"
A smile involuntarily crept onto Li Xiaonan's lips as he gazed at the lovely women on the bed, vowing to seize his destiny firmly in his hands.
He scanned with his divine sense and found Mo Shang still in the courtyard from that day, leaning against the Phoenix Tree, lost in thought.
He directly shifted over, blocking her from the brilliant sunlight.
Mo Shang's vacant eyes flickered; for this past week, she had been listening to Fisher's Song ramble on and on.
In truth, Mo Shang knew everything that had happened between Li Xiaonan and Fisher's Song; she just wanted to understand how her other self viewed that man.
She always felt that the relationship between Fisher's Song and Li Xiaonan was unequal. Could love arise between a slave and a master?
Mo Shang didn't know, but she understood that if it did arise in time, it would still be unequal.
So the moment she woke up, she felt an intense hatred for Li Xiaonan.
In her eyes, this man had never loved Fisher's Song.
Although Fisher's Song was another aspect of her personality, they shared the same body, and what she couldn't bear was that she had lost her innocence!
A goddess had been defiled!
How could she swallow this bitterness? She remained indifferent, pretending that Fisher's Song didn't exist, but none of it solved the problem; instead, it pushed her into another abyss.
Mo Shang slowly lifted her head to look at the man with a somewhat serious expression, unsure of how to face him.
She couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear. What if one day she fell in love with this man, while he never cared for her? How pitiful that would be.
No! I don't want that to happen!
Mo Shang immediately thought of a good plan: escape!
With that, Mo Shang took off running, forgetting that she was a goddess. She could fly, she could teleport, yet she chose the most foolish method.
Li Xiaonan's lips curled slightly as he thought to himself: This girl is already flustered.
One Becomes One. Mo Shang, Fisher's Song, you are destined to be my woman, Li Xiaonan. You can't escape!
