Chapter 134: My Wife Has Become a Double Shadow!

The lifetime of Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming.

Gu Mingyue's talent is similarly astonishing, but as a descendant of the Jingwei, for some reason, the developmental cycle she requires is far longer than that of Gu Nianmo.

Comparing the two, Gu Mingyue also possesses a predictable talent.

Because in an era where the gods have vanished, she can still respond to the divine blood within her body and answer the call of Heaven and Earth.

But Gu Nianmo's talent has become a talent visible to the naked eye, the kind that can be seen every year in the information on 【Mie Changsheng】.

This is true talent explosion.

【Your age has reached 12, and you have begun to pursue a path of cultivation suitable for yourself, although your cultivation base reached the level of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment long ago.】

【But your Heaven and Earth Enlightenment is merely you being better able to perceive the emotions of Heaven and Earth than ordinary people; reaching such a realm is simply a matter of course.】

【Your mother treats you with great affection, which allows you to seek the path of the Great Dao you desire with even more single-mindedness.】

【However, while observing quietly, you also discover that there seems to be something abnormal within your mother's body; at times, her way of speaking will suddenly change.】

【Your mother, Liu Moran, does not avoid this question. She chuckles and says, "There is a Demon Seed within my body that accompanies me in life and death, having long since merged into one with me. Sometimes, she appears to catch her breath, but rest assured, she loves you just as I do."】

【Your keen sense of smell and your understanding of the Dao make you feel that the truth of the matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The personality of this Demon Seed is far too different from your mother's own personality, and although they are one, many details still prove the differences in habits between the two.】

【Your meticulous observation makes you feel inexplicably nervous. Therefore, you often pay attention to the changes in your mother. Later, you discover that although your mother's style of speaking has changed, what remains the same is that they both cherish you dearly.】

【You recall the behavior of Zhou Kai repeatedly.】

【"They are hunting us down and want to take our child away. If I were conjured from Qilin Demon Blood, then I would rather die."】

【You, Liu Moran, begin to try to communicate with the Demon Seed.】

【This manifestation is very strange. You believe that you need to dig deep into the secrets within, and this phenomenon might require finding Zhou Kai to obtain an accurate answer.】

【Is it another mother?】

How could one have imagined that the Demon Seed might be another person, only one who looks very similar to oneself?

【It is clearly perceptible that although the appearing Qilin phantom is very similar to Zhou Kai, in essence, the relationship between the two is very disharmonious, somewhat similar to a relationship between brothers born together.】

【The only common point is that they both acknowledge him as their son.】

【"But... I think I might be you, or perhaps I am not you," the Demon Seed says after a moment of hesitation. "I do not understand, yet I cannot find the root of the problem."】

【This does not seem like the same person.】

Liu Moran is clearly becoming nervous.

Therefore, she also needs to figure out what kind of existence the Demon Seed within her body is continuing as.

【From the Demon Seed's standpoint, she feels that she is one with you. No matter what, calling her a monster like the Qilin that persecutes them is a great disrespect to her.】

【Gu Nianmo has grown to 13 years old, but he has made no progress or headway in his cultivation this year; he has only gained a deeper realization of the Thunder Method and possesses the divine ability to Drive Thunder and Control Electricity.】

【Demon Seed?】

【The Demon Seed remains silent for a long time, finally answering, "I do not know either."】

【Is it a type of Inner Demon?】

【You think of that earth-shattering battle back then; the existence of another spiritual body within Zhou Kai—perhaps... that is the answer?】

【And the Qilin Clan's pursuit arrives as promised; to them, the Qilin Divine Blood must absolutely not be allowed to flow out like this.】

The screen freezes once again.

【He feels it is the Qilin Divine Blood that is blocking his room for further growth.】

【"Are you really me?" Liu Moran asks the first question.】

She has always regarded the Demon Seed as another one of her personalities; if she is her positive side, then the Demon Seed is equivalent to her negative side.

【An Inner Demon can be a replica of a person, but the details of the original body and the Inner Demon cannot be completely different, because if the original body likes to eat something, then the Inner Demon must like the same thing.】

【You do not understand.】

【But you increasingly believe that you are approaching the truth.】

【This conjecture leaves your state of mind unsettled for a long time.】

【You ultimately take the initiative to bring up this question, because your temperament is such that you are not the type of steady person who likes to be introverted and wait for an opportunity.】

Gu Nianmo's comprehension and sensitivity to things are much higher than hers, so Liu Moran secretly trusts his judgment somewhat.

【But your mother's Demon Seed and your mother's preferences are fundamentally different.】

This piece of information concludes.

【"Even if you have doubts in your heart and are jealous of my talent, there should be a limit."】

【And you also associate this with the changes in Zhou Kai; perhaps the Demon Seed is brought about by the inheritance of the Qilin blood?】

【You begin to ponder why this situation would occur.】

【You finally realize the problem.】

【"I cannot possibly be a Qilin," the Demon Seed feels surprisingly angry at your inner thoughts. "How could I be that kind of ugly thing?"】

And after Gu Jiangming dies, the core perspective shifts from Gu Jiangming to Gu Nianmo; although Liu Moran can also operate her character, the unfolding of the story has shifted to her son.

【If this is the case, then the source of the Demon Seed should be the Qilin's Demon Blood; then is it possible that she is a Qilin?】

【Due to this importance, the Qilin Clan's strikes are swift, and the elite of the clan are also dispatched in full force. Although Gu Nianmo has achieved success in Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, facing such pressure, he is still like a lone tree difficult to support; yet he always feels that someone is extending a helping hand to him, assisting in secret.】

【Gu Nianmo and Liu Moran have narrowly escaped pursuit several times in succession. Under this pressure, Gu Nianmo's improvement in combat experience is extremely astonishing. From only knowing how to use brute force and absolute power to crush at the beginning, to now having clever gambits, he has grown a lot.】

【But it is still too difficult for Gu Nianmo to break through to the Feathering Stage with the realm of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment; he feels as if there is a shackle on his body that he cannot break through.】

【In the next three years, Gu Nianmo begins to constantly attempt to charge at the Feathering Stage, but after several consecutive attempts, he discovers that he simply cannot break through the barrier of that realm.】

【Gu Nianmo always feels that he is not far from that layer, but every time he tries, the final outcome is that his heart is willing but his strength is insufficient.】

【At the age of 16, Gu Nianmo feels the bloodline power of the Qilin Divine Blood constantly surging within his body; his Qi and blood, his strength, and his entire body's tendons and bones have all received a tremendous boost because of it.】

【And three years of time is but a snap of the fingers for the Qilin Clan. The Qilin Clan pursues relentlessly, yet they see you growing constantly.】

【This makes the Qilin Clan marvel once again at the power of the Qilin Divine Blood, and they also believe that you are only able to perform so heroically because you benefit from the Qilin Divine Blood.】

【When the world marvels at your talent, they also sigh that the atavistic phenomenon following the Qilin Divine Blood is truly astonishing.】

Gu Nianmo felt quite resentful in his heart; it seemed that in the eyes of many, his hard work was entirely based on the foundation of the Qilin Divine Blood.

Gu Nianmo's "Innate Proud Bones" effect was triggered.

"Since you are hunting me down because of this Qilin Divine Blood on my body, then today, I will return this Qilin Divine Blood to you."

This year, you are high-spirited and vigorous.

Admittedly, the Qilin Divine Blood brought you a certain amount of help, but you also believe that the Qilin Divine Blood has blocked your opportunity to transcend your realm.

Moreover, you do not care about the act of being hunted, but you are only afraid that your mother will be implicated and affected; since the Qilin Clan wants this damned Qilin Divine Blood, then return it to them.

Our generation is born with unyielding spirits; why should we need to borrow the blood of another clan?

Although the Qilin Clan has been overbearing and aggressive for several years, they also know how troublesome this kid is. Over these years, they have suffered greatly. If they let him continue to grow like this, the Qilin Clan will sooner or later face a catastrophe.

But they never expected that Gu Nianmo would make a decision to destroy his own future, voluntarily handing over the Qilin Divine Blood that manifested his innate talent to the extreme.

A sigh suddenly rang out.

The figure of Zhou Kai appeared in everyone's view, "The Qilin Divine Blood was your own talent to begin with; what does it have to do with the Qilin Clan?"

"Even if it is the blood of the Qilin, the manifestation of the ancestors happened on you, and it awakened on you."

"If you voluntarily hand over the Qilin Divine Blood, and it falls upon the Qilin Clan, these fools may not get any good results, and instead, they will destroy their own foundation."

"How foolish!"

Gu Nianmo had long thought that the person secretly protecting him all these years might be the Qilin Clan's last remaining supreme expert, Zhou Kai, but when he actually appeared, he was still quite surprised.

Because he never expected that the leader of the Qilin Clan, which was in a life-and-death feud with him, would step in to protect him.

"Ancestor... you?" Jin Qing looked at Zhou Kai in confusion. Over these years, they had suffered a lot, but they never expected that this suffering was bestowed upon them by their ancestor.

"It is this venerable one who did not expect... that a drop of essence blood bestowed unintentionally back then would lead to such an evil fate." Zhou Kai revealed an irrepressible bitter smile, "To a certain extent, this kid can be considered my descendant."

"From the moment that girl appeared, I knew that the entanglement between the Qilin Clan and this kid would be hard to resolve in this lifetime."

Back then, although Zhou Kai was severely injured by Gu Jiangming's desperate strike, it still had strength remaining. It could have forcibly intervened, and in fact, that was exactly what it had planned to do at the time.

But when it saw the figure of Liu Moran, this thought was completely extinguished, because it felt a sense of closeness, a sense of closeness from the depths of its bloodline.

When it felt some pity for Gu Nianmo at that time, Zhou Kai was very surprised, because it was not a person easily moved by emotions.

But after truly finding the root of everything, Zhou Kai was relieved.

"Little girl, if this venerable one is not mistaken, there should be another person inside your body, right?" Zhou Kai's gaze rested on Liu Nianmo, "This venerable one's essence blood remained on your grandfather Liu Junru, which counted as extending half his life at the time, but I never expected that the essence blood would be passed down through your Liu Family generation after generation. By your generation, this venerable one's bloodline ability has been reproduced in you."

"I was originally one body with two souls; that soul was this venerable one's own sibling, but it eventually turned into a companion spirit protector. With its help, my cultivation speed became different from ordinary people."

"The soul inside your body can even be called my direct descendant; it is not an exaggeration to consider her my granddaughter."

The atmosphere fell into a dull silence.

A violent aura appeared within Liu Moran, "So what? Are you using your status to boss me around?"

"At the end of the day, it was your Qilin Clan that forced my husband to his death. Now, do you want to rely on these few words to make me moved and grateful for your great kindness?"

"A bunch of evil beasts, get out of my way—"

The Demon Seed said with unprecedented anger.

At this moment, she finally realized that she was not actually Liu Moran's Inner Demon, nor was she another component of Liu Moran's soul, but a separate individual. As for her true form, just as Zhou Kai said, she was a Qilin.

But she would not acknowledge it.

Why should she acknowledge all of this?

"Moran, refine me, quickly use your Spirit Qi to refine me." The Demon Seed used a demonic tone to issue an unquestionable command.

"I will never bow to the Qilin; I will always stand on your and Gu Jiangming's side."

"Let us... completely become one person, instead of a beast that only thinks about family continuation and bloodline inheritance."

This... this...

The sudden situation on the screen caught Liu Moran off guard. Whether to refine or not to refine was undoubtedly a difficult problem for her.

If it were before, Liu Moran would have been impatient to refine the Demon Seed; after all, she herself did not allow others to share her body, but facing such sincere words, she was at a loss instead.

This gave her a heavy psychological burden.

Because the Demon Seed empathized with her completely, at this moment, Liu Moran felt that she was no longer so lonely as a single person.

Facing this choice, Liu Moran took a deep breath and decided to refuse to refine her Demon Seed.

And Gu Jiangming, seeing such a plot twist, also revealed a dumbfounded expression.

This is bad.

My wife has become two people!

How can one person turn into two?

When he was interacting with her back then, Gu Jiangming felt that the feedback from the screen was sometimes different—one was very shy, and one was very proactive. At that time, Gu Jiangming thought it was Liu Moran's different personality during the day and night; sometimes she was open, and sometimes she was reserved.

Who the hell could have expected that these were two different people interacting with him?!

Gu Jiangming was truly sweating.

With this plot progression, even if you gave him the script to read ten thousand times, he would never be able to figure it out.
