When their eyes were synchronized, a long-lost joy appeared on the face of Ying in Yixin Pure Land.
Success!
Not only did she contact the first generation general, she even connected her consciousness with him. Although her own consciousness was still in the Pure Land of One Mind, she could now share the five senses with the general.
However, when Ying was about to communicate formally with the general, he found that he was unable to convey his voice at all.
Not only that, she found that she couldn't even control the first generation general as she controlled the second generation general's body!
You can only see and hear, but you can't speak or move.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the general?"
Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and Ying's several attempts all ended in failure.
And unlike her previous attempts to contact the general, this time she clearly felt that there was a force that was stronger and more tenacious than before, preventing her from regaining control of the general's body.
Out of desperation, Ying could only give up the idea of communicating directly with the general for the time being, and instead began to observe the surroundings from the general's perspective.
"The decoration of this room is quite Liyue style, but I have almost searched all over Liyue. Morax even cooperated with me in the search, but in the end, we found nothing?"
After muttering something under his breath, Ying discovered something unusual again.
Although she could understand what the general and the people around him said, that was because she was receiving this information directly through her consciousness as a demon god.
The general received and understood the information first, and then the information was received by Ying in the form of consciousness transmission, thus skipping the language barrier.
But this doesn't mean that Ying can't hear what the people around her say that she doesn't understand.
A completely unfamiliar language, neither the common language of Teyvat nor the local language of Liyue.
and...
"Miss Shadow?"
After muttering something, the doubt in Ying's eyes deepened.
When the general disappeared, she didn't even have time to give him self-awareness.
Now it seems that the general woke up after a long period of time and developed a consciousness on his own, but why did the general have the same name as her under this consciousness - Shadow?
"Coincidence? Or is it that the general is under my influence even when he is unconscious?"
One question after another made Ying's brows frown more and more.
…dividing line…
In Cheng'en Hall, Ning Qingxuan was dealing with a little girl who was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
The girl was no more than four or five years old, with a pair of cute pigtails on her head and a lake green skirt with fine stitching and excellent embroidery. As the little girl ran over and threw herself into his arms, her skirt fluttering, she looked as cute as a butterfly wearing flowers.
"Brother Prince!"
Ning Lanyin threw herself into the arms of Ning Qingxuan, who was sitting at the desk reading a book. She rubbed her face, which still had a little baby fat, against his chest, then raised her head and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Brother Crown Prince, I'm here to see you!"
"Why did you get up so early?"
"Hehe, I want to see my brother the Crown Prince earlier. My father and mother didn't let me come a few days ago."
As she spoke, Ning Lanyin rolled her big obsidian eyes around, looking left and right, obviously looking for someone.
Ning Qingxuan was delighted by her little look. She pinched her face gently, then picked up the child's tiny body and placed her on her lap.
"You cunning ghost, tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Well, that is—"
Just as they were about to speak, Ning Qingxuan and Ning Lanyin suddenly heard a series of salutes coming from outside the hall.
After a while, a beautiful purple figure entered the hall, passed through the screen, and turned to the place where Ning Qingxuan and Ning Lanyin were.
It's the general.
"Wow--!!!"
As soon as she saw the general, Ning Lanyin's eyes widened, she jumped out of Ning Qingxuan's arms, and ran to the general with her short legs.
"Are you Lan Yin's sister, the Crown Princess?!"
Ning Qingxuan: "——?"
General: "——!?"
Wait, what the hell is a Crown Princess! ?
Ning Qingxuan and the general were both stunned by the little girl's sudden words, and they looked at the innocent little girl.
Ning Lanyin had no idea how shaken her brother was at the moment, and had no idea that the dazzlingly beautiful sister in front of her was essentially the same person as her brother, the Crown Prince. Her face flushed with excitement, and she tried to open her eyes as wide as possible.
"Sister Princess is so beautiful! As beautiful as mother~!"
The general put his legs together, slightly bent his knees, propped up his knees with one hand and gently touched Ning Lanyin's chubby face with the other hand, and said softly: "Lanyin, I am not your Crown Princess Sister."
"Eh...? Isn't it?"
Disappointment and frustration were visibly revealed on the little girl's face, but she soon slyly shifted her gaze between Ning Qingxuan and Sun Xianyun.
On the other side, Ning Qingxuan rubbed her eyebrows in pain.
My sister wouldn't say this for no reason, so it's clear that the problem lies with Ning Junkang and Wen Guxi.
Because he did not state that he and the general were two souls and essentially one person, his father and mother's thoughts went astray.
(This is a big problem. I need to find an opportunity to clarify it. Otherwise, I will be forced to marry myself... What kind of thing is this?)
Thinking of this, Ning Qingxuan raised her eyes and looked at the general.
Although he was still dressed the same as yesterday, Yun Xiao had the palace maids make some minor adjustments. Today, the general looked three times more radiant than yesterday.
Ning Qingxuan admitted that he was stunned when he looked at himself.
(It seems... not bad...? No no no! This idea is too dangerous...)
When Ning Qingxuan realized that a rather terrible thought, one that could even be said to break the bottom line of human morality, was rising uncontrollably, she coughed and said, "Okay, serve the meal.
If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after breakfast.
Lan Yin, you must not have eaten yet since you came so early, right?"
Sure enough, the little girl's attention was immediately diverted by Ning Qingxuan. She nodded and said "hmm", but soon she started to pester the general and ask questions again.
Ning Qingxuan/General: ""..."
It seems that I should not have let down this overly curious sister. I'm afraid I won't even be able to have a good breakfast today.
