Chapter 47 Astonishment

The cook was in a state of utter shock—

I don't understand it, but I am deeply moved.

He looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in cyan robes, about 1.7 meters tall, with a smile on her lips and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. Her left hand held a spatula, her right hand a kitchen knife, crossed in front of her. She retreated, and with a *shua* sound, the spatula pointed directly forward. The force was so strong that it even caused her injuries to rupture. A sharp pain emerged, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

However, the physical pain couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

Zhu Jiuyin?! Zhulong?

Nonsense!

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

Zhu Jiuyin was clearly a gray-robed, repressed man about 1.8 meters tall. How could he turn into this?

"Zhu Jiuyin was clearly a gray-robed, repressed man about 1.8 meters tall. How could he turn into this?" Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through Wei Yuan's mind, the ethereal, yet vibrant and generous, woman in cyan robes pondered and spoke these words.

Wei Yuan was stunned.

Then he realized that this voice seemed to be rising from the depths of his own heart.

??!

Is she really Zhu Jiuyin?!

The cook was once again subjected to a huge shock.

This connection, this method of responding to thoughts, only Zhu Jiuyin had ever used it. But Wei Yuan couldn't connect the beautiful woman in front of him with the ancient gray-robed man, although he had never really seen Zhu Jiuyin's face clearly...

But, but it could never be like this under the gray robe!

Also, what should I do when I'm caught talking bad about someone right in front of them?!

Request off-site audience assistance, please connect me to Ah Liang, thank you.

"Oh? So, the other me is like that?"

The woman in cyan robes rubbed her lips with her fingers, her pale fingers sliding across her crimson lips, the contrast of colors startling. She pondered, then smiled enchantingly: "Repressed?"

"What does this description mean?"

"'Men' means concealed, hidden; 'Sao' refers to *Li Sao*, ancient charm."

"Combining these two words, it means having an ancient charm in one's heart, but its voice is concealed."

"That is, having great sound in one's heart but not speaking it, which is the so-called 'great sound is silent, the great form is formless,' the Way of the Sage."

Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he blurted out the explanation. The teachings of the Master instantly allowed him to complete the *Shuowen Jiezi* (Explaining Characters and Analyzing Compound Characters).

The Master would praise him, saying he could even interpret it this way, Excellent, Yuan!

Then he would draw out his belt and beat him up.

Wei Yuan discovered the blind spot in the next moment—

He exclaimed in shock, "The other you?"

"What do you mean?"

The woman in cyan robes floated down, her hands behind her back, her body leaning forward. If you looked closely, her pupils were actually dark golden vertical slits, carrying a vast and boundless pressure. She looked Wei Yuan up and down, a mysterious smile on her face, and said, "It's just... that I and He are one."

"Have you heard of alternate selves?"

The god of Zhongshan summoned by Wei Yuan stretched out a pale finger and shook it:

"I am in the Great Wilderness, and He is in the Nine Netherworlds."

"These are two worlds that never intersect. After all, the netherworld of the Great Wilderness is under the control of Si You, and the Nine Netherworlds strictly belong to the netherworld of the Kunlun Mountains and Seas."

"It is equivalent to the same existence, the sides of self-expression in different worlds."

"I am He, and He is I."

The woman in cyan robes said in a relaxed voice:

"If He comes to the Great Wilderness, He can do everything I can do. If I go to the Nine Netherworlds, it is the same. In fact, as long as we stay in the same world for too long, the concepts of both sides will re-aggregate. No matter the emotions, feelings, or cognitions, they will be indistinguishable."

Wei Yuan frowned, "Merge into one?"

"No, not the same."

The woman in cyan robes said, "It's probably like the feeling of recalling something."

"Because strictly speaking, the inherent nature of me and Him is the same. That is to say, it is similar to the feeling of parallel worlds in the human realm, or a bit more complicated than that. You can probably think that I am Him, and He is me, only our memories are not interconnected, that's all."

"Yes, that's it."

The woman in cyan robes clapped her hands, drew a conclusion, and said, "And the evidence is."

"The contracts signed in His name, I can completely replace here."

"On the most basic concept of the Heavenly Dao, I and He are equal."

"It's probably similar to your reincarnation, but completely different. Your reincarnation is at different points in time, while I and He exist simultaneously."

This sentence still echoed in Wei Yuan's heart in a light voice.

Wei Yuan's brain was hit by too much information, and he was slightly stuck for a moment. Zhu Jiuyin, alternate selves, the god of the Nine Netherworlds, the master of the Red Water. Zhu Jiuyin's power seemed to be far stronger than he had expected. And correspondingly, the complexity of this guy's existence was even more outrageous than Wei Yuan had anticipated.

Wei Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, sorted out his thoughts, and said:

"Wait a minute, you are Zhu Jiuyin, and Zhu Jiuyin is you."

"You both belong to different sides of the same true spirit."

"Then if you appear in the same world at the same time, you will show the true full picture called 'The Dragon that Illuminates the Nine Netherworlds'... Is this His backup plan?"

Wei Yuan's thoughts gradually became clear and calm:

"The reason why the Zhu Jiuyin I know doesn't want to come to the Great Wilderness is not Di Jun, but you?"

"Eh? Is that how it is? Is that me still so childish?"

The woman in cyan robes said regretfully, "Thousands of years have passed, and I am still not mature enough."

Wei Yuan: "............"

You criticize yourself like this, and I can't say anything.

If Zhu Jiuyin is not mature, then am I still an infant?

Gu </span>"First of all, how did the Dragon that Illuminates the Nine Netherworlds become like this?"

When Wei Yuan said this, he glanced at Chang Xi next to him and found that the Emperor's consort was frowning, looking at Wei Yuan and the Red Water woman Xian. But their communication could be done heart-to-heart, which made Chang Xi feel like she was watching a silent play.

The woman in cyan robes smiled and said, "Well, how to describe this."

"It's a long story."

"Then please make it short."

"A long, long time ago, in the beginning, I could probably represent the great sun when I opened my eyes and the night when I closed them. Things probably started from that era, but this is not a secret that can be easily told to you."

The woman in cyan robes walked lightly and suddenly took a step forward.

!!!

Wei Yuan still held a sense of vigilance in his heart, and the spatula in his hand directly swung over.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, this time it was aimed at the left eye again.

Light footsteps.

The woman's white right hand directly grasped Wei Yuan's right wrist. Even with the body of a God of War, in such a battle-damaged state, Wei Yuan was actually controlled. The woman in cyan robes pulled Wei Yuan's right arm outwards, straightening it, and pulling his body forward. The cyan-robed dragon girl was almost close to him, and a pair of dark golden vertical pupils approached with dangerous signals.

Wei Yuan's steps changed.

But the woman in cyan robes was even faster than him.

The power of years, naturally countering all close combat.

She suddenly lifted her knee and struck forward, extremely ruthless, but it was dissolved by a gentle press and lift from her white palm.

She directly raised her elbow and struck his temple.

The woman grabbed his wrist with her left hand and pulled it outward, Wei Yuan staggered, and the cyan-robed dragon girl directly pressed her right hand on Wei Yuan's waist and pressed hard. Wei Yuan subconsciously stepped forward, in front of him was the cyan-robed dragon girl with a smile, and then she stepped lightly, rotating along Wei Yuan's elbow strike, her steps light, and her black hair rose and fell.

In an instant, her skirt rose and then fell, like a blooming flower closing.

In any case, her speed was always one step faster than Wei Yuan. Rather than a confrontation with distrust, it was more like a dance rehearsed over countless years.

His wrist loosened.

Wei Yuan spun and retreated several steps, sitting back in the chair.

So the dance came to an end.

"You..."

Wei Yuan was about to speak, but he paused slightly. His injuries had actually healed nearly 30% in the so-called confrontation and probing just now. This was undoubtedly the power of years, blessed by Zhu Jiuyin in countless training sessions in lucid dreams. Except for the injuries pierced by the great sun javelin, he had almost recovered.

"If you want to hear the story, you should pay the price."

The woman in cyan robes said, "For example, you should cook for me."

"Three meals."

Okay, I'm starting to believe you really are that guy.

Wei Yuan couldn't help but complain, "...In any case, Lord of Red Water Xian, shouldn't you keep some distance and respect for someone you meet for the first time?"

"Ah? Didn't I say it? We are alternate selves."

"I even thought you would be more familiar with this."

"The so-called same existence on different sides of the same world."

The woman in cyan robes said with a smile, "Naturally, it's not just existence, even each other's social relationships, emotions, and feelings are shared and unified. Otherwise, how can it be said to be the same? Of course, the same goes for your friendship."

"Otherwise, with your crude ritual that makes people feel pity, how could I possibly come?"

Her eyes were full of the expression 'Are you looking down on me?'

Curator Wei's mouth twitched, wanting to resist.

The woman in cyan robes Xian smiled and said, "However, if I'm satisfied with my meal, not only will I tell you how to solve your injuries and restore you to your peak, but I can also tell you why we became like this."

Her voice paused, her smile beautiful and mysterious, and said, "This secret."

"But it's related to Nuwa and Fuxi."

"Want to know?"

"Want to know?"

"If you want to know, go cook!"

"............Okay."

Wei Yuan found that even if Zhu Jiuyin was in this form in this world, he couldn't refute Him. Damn it, the hook was straight and the bait was tempting. He had to obediently bite the hook, because in the current situation, his injuries really needed to be healed.

On the other hand, if he encountered Nuwa.

He could justifiably shout, "Mom! Someone bullied me!"

"Mom, make my face more handsome!"

Wei Yuan limped to cook.

As for the taste, did he even need to ask?

Chang Xi looked at the woman in front of her, whose appearance was more like a neutral, handsome woman than a beautiful one, and pondered, "The woman in cyan robes Xian... that reclusive mountain god and water god?"

The cyan-robed dragon girl's eyes were very dangerous snake-like vertical pupils. She turned her eyes thoughtfully and said:

"Chang Xi..."

She pondered, then looked at the old man lying down and pretending to be dead.

She shouted, "Hey, cook, what's your name again?"

Wei Yuan wanted to complain that she clearly said she had inherited the social relationships, but looking at the beautiful and generous dragon girl, he still said, "Wei Yuan."

"Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan..."

The woman in cyan robes suddenly smiled, her eyes bright, "Wei Yuan this person!"

"Always makes people surprised!"
