Chapter 270 - 129: One Body, Two Hui Souls
At the same time, Xu Lei also thought to himself, ’From now on, my connection with Jingchun should truly be over.’
Although he and Jingchun had several children together, she wasn’t really his woman, after all.
And she had never fallen in love with him.
Their previous act of Charitable Giving was because of the soul swap.
Having children was to fulfill Chun Ying’s regret.
Now that the soul swap was resolved, Chun Ying was dead, and Hui Lu was about to return.
Everything was about to go back to the way it was.
"So that’s him? The Master’s husband?"
At that moment, Zhao Xin exclaimed, "It’s really working! Congratulations, Master!"
"Congratulations, Sister-in-law."
Xu Lei added, "You’ll soon be reunited with Senior Brother and can finally be together!"
"Thank you."
Jingchun replied, "Thank you both. But this is just a promising sign.
We haven’t fully succeeded yet. We must redouble our efforts!"
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin said no more, simply continuing to channel their Magical Power.
After all, the figure was still flickering faintly.
He hadn’t spoken a word; he didn’t even have an expression on his face.
「A few minutes later.」
Finally, the figure solidified a little more, and the expression on his face became vivid.
He looked at Jingchun, Xu Lei, and Zhao Xin, his expression emotional.
Then he looked at Jingchun, his lips opening and closing, though it was unclear what he was saying.
The three of them couldn’t hear his voice at all.
It was likely because a physical body could not directly hear the voice of a Soul Body.
"Hui Lu, you’re back! This is wonderful!"
Tears welled in Jingchun’s beautiful eyes. "I’m finally... going to bring you back!"
With that said,
she activated the Dharma Seal in her hands,
intending to send Hui Lu’s soul into his body, which lay in the coffin.
But unexpectedly, at that very moment, the mysterious energy field between the three of them suddenly became chaotic.
Hui Lu’s soul, caught in the center, was violently pulled and tossed about.
The expressions on Xu Lei and Zhao Xin’s faces changed.
Neither of them knew what was happening.
They could only turn to look at Jingchun.
After all, neither Xu Lei nor Zhao Xin knew much about the Dharma Gates of the Ancient Spirit Immortals.
But Jingchun was supposed to have completely mastered this Dharma Seal.
Unexpectedly, however, Jingchun offered no explanation.
She wore a panicked expression, and then her gaze shifted to Xu Lei.
Then, before Xu Lei could react, she turned the Dharma Seal and aimed it at him.
BUZZ.
Xu Lei didn’t even have time to react.
Hui Lu’s soul suddenly flew toward him!
WHOOSH!
It burrowed into the space between Xu Lei’s eyebrows.
Normally, Hui Lu’s soul wouldn’t have been strong enough to force its way in.
But Jingchun’s Dharma Seal, along with the mysterious energy field the three of them had created,
allowed Hui Lu’s soul to instantly enter Xu Lei’s Sea of Consciousness.
At that same moment,
the mysterious soul energy field outside also fell into complete chaos.
The Dharma Seals in the hands of Xu Lei, Zhao Xin, and Jingchun shattered as the energy balance was broken.
The three of them shuddered, staggering back a few feet.
"Uncle Hui Chi, are you alright?"
"Hui Chi, how are you? Wake up."
Both Zhao Xin and Jingchun ran over, asking with concern.
"What was that? What happened?!"
Zhao Xin couldn’t help but ask, "Master, why did you send his soul toward Uncle Hui Chi?"
"There was a sudden accident. I had no choice."
Jingchun said, "If I hadn’t done that, his soul might have shattered, never to return.
I was trying to return him to his own body, but for some reason, he couldn’t go back.
What exactly went wrong? I haven’t figured it out yet.
So for now, this was my only option."
Hearing this, Zhao Xin was momentarily speechless.
At this moment, Xu Lei’s eyes were closed,
but he could still hear their voices.
Xu Lei was equally speechless.
’I came here with good intentions to help!’
’And now this?’
’You let someone else’s soul into my body?’
At that moment,
Xu Lei’s consciousness had entered his own Sea of Consciousness.
He saw a figure appear before him.
It was Hui Lu.
"Amitabha Buddha. Junior Brother, who are you to Jingchun?"
Hui Lu asked after looking around, "What is this place?
Your Sea of Consciousness?
The legendary core domain where Ancient Spirit Immortals cultivate their souls?"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Hui Lu."
Xu Lei replied, "This junior brother is Hui Chi. Jingchun’s disciple is my Dao Companion.
So I suppose you could say Jingchun and I are friends.
It’s alright. Senior Brother, you can rest here quietly for now.
I’ll take control of the body, and once I’m out, I will talk with Jingchun and the others.
We’ll figure out if there’s any way to solve this problem."
"I’ll be troubling you then, Junior Brother."
Hui Lu nodded and said, "I never expected to end up in your Sea of Consciousness. My apologies."
Xu Lei nodded and said no more.
He just wanted to regain control of his body, wake up, and have a talk with Jingchun.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Hui Lu suddenly formed a strange Dharma Seal with his hands and shot a green ray of light at Xu Lei’s Soul Body.
But Xu Lei dodged it in an instant.
He never trusted others easily.
A moment ago, he had deliberately turned his back on Hui Lu as a test.
Xu Lei had originally been very polite.
He had no intention of opposing Hui Lu.
He wanted to get along with him amicably.
’But I never expected this! It was just a small test!’
’And he was so impatient to reveal his fangs.’
"Senior Brother Hui Lu, what are you doing?"
Xu Lei asked, "You’re ambushing me?"
However, Hui Lu offered no explanation. He simply changed the Dharma Seal in his hands again and shot another green ray of light at Xu Lei.
