Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Shen Zhaozhao remembered that Shushu had told her the origin of the Zhu Yun Curse.

She looked at Lu Xubai with some uncertainty: "Could it be that Senior is the cultivator who created the Zhu Yun Curse three hundred years ago?"

Lu Xubai nodded slightly.

Lu Xubai spent half his life creating the Zhu Yun Curse, all for his master.

He wanted to use himself as a raft to bear all the backlash of Zhu Yun's cultivation and the injuries from the heavenly tribulation, just to fulfill her obsession with ascending to heaven.

This almost sacrificial affection has become a laughing stock despised by countless people in the world of immortal cultivation, where the Great Dao is respected.

Some people secretly felt sorry for him, thinking that his sincerity was misplaced and ridiculous.

Back then, Lu Xubai personally gave up the opportunity to ascend to heaven that was within his reach for Zhu Yun.

And Zhu Yun never seemed to care about his disciple Lu Xubai.

They said that Zhu Yun was just taking advantage of his disciples' affection and, with the protection of the Zhu Yun Curse, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he finally broke through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and ascended to heaven smoothly.

Shen Zhaozhao thought of the rumor and paused: "But three hundred years ago, didn't you..." die?

Shushu clearly said that the monk who created the Zhu Yun Curse was extremely talented, but died of old age at the age of eighty.

The Lu Xubai in front of him had handsome features and looked to be no more than thirty years old.

Lu Xubai looked at Zhu Yun, a gentle smile on his lips: "She is my wife. After she ascended to heaven, she made a deal with the heavens in exchange for being cast into the mortal world forever, allowing me to be reborn."

Shen Zhaozhao fell silent.

The Heaven is willing to let Lu Xubai be reborn, but only wants to kill Chu Yu.

Zhu Yun said slowly, "When I ascended, I saw the cause and effect of the Zhu Yun Curse through the cracks in the Heavenly Dao. Later, I sensed that the remaining soul of Chu Yu had drifted to this place, and I have been nourishing it with my immortal power, just to wait for you to come."

Lu Xubai took out a white jade bottle, gently poured out a wisp of glowing residual soul, and handed it to Shen Zhaozhao.

"Thank you, two seniors." Shen Zhaozhao quickly took it and carefully led the residual soul into the jade soul cup. The jade soul cup gradually emitted a stronger spiritual light.

Her heart calmed down a little, but soon sank again.

Now, Chu Yu’s soul is only missing one soul and one spirit.

The Jade Soul Cup only guided the direction of two souls and six spirits from beginning to end, and there was no connection between these souls and spirits that were found and the remaining one soul and one spirit.

"Little girl, have you been unable to find the remaining soul and spirit of Chu Yu?" Zhu Yun seemed to see through her thoughts and asked softly.

Shen Zhaozhao nodded.

Zhu Yun's voice was a little ethereal: "That's because his soul and spirit are not in this world."

Shen Zhaozhao didn't understand and was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

She had never thought of this possibility. Without this soul and spirit, Chu Yu could not be resurrected.

Zhu Yun said slowly, "Cause and effect are intertwined, both cause and effect. Little girl, have you ever considered that the world we live in today might actually be the result of another world? From the very beginning, cause and effect have formed a closed loop."

These words were too profound, and Shen Zhaozhao didn't understand them at all.

Zhu Yun said, "Chu Yu's soul will eventually reunite in another world. This is the cause and effect of the emergence of this world. Are you willing to follow the path of cause and effect and understand the whole story?"

With the help of Zhu Yun's immortal power, the light and shadow around her swayed, and she penetrated the barrier of time and space and came to a yard.

She looked down at her hands, her fingertips glowing with a translucent light. In this world, she was in a virtual state.

She looked around.

It was a large courtyard with a soul-gathering formation set up in the corner, and in the center of the courtyard, a woman in red was sitting on a stone bench with her back to her.

Her black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, with a small braid in the middle. The silver bells in her hair swayed gently in the breeze, making a small and pleasant sound.

At the same time, the copper bell in the center of the formation also moved without wind, and the crisp bell sound instantly spread throughout the yard.

When the woman heard the voice, she turned around suddenly, and her eyes lit up with surprise.

Shen Zhaozhao saw her appearance clearly, and also discovered her bulging pregnant belly.

She is Chu Yu's mother, Princess Siyin.

In this world, is Chu Yu's mother also Princess Siyin?

The soul in the jade soul cup seemed to be pulled by the soul gathering formation and kept vibrating. The soul in the cup turned into a bright white light and flew straight towards the direction of the soul gathering formation.

However, in an instant, the white light merged into the formation and merged with the originally weak soul power in the formation. Then, an even brighter light rose from the center of the formation, landed steadily on Siyin's pregnant belly, and penetrated in silently.

Almost at the moment when the soul entered the body, Siyin let out a soft "ah" and gently stroked her abdomen.

The three souls and seven spirits were all reunited.

Shen Zhaozhao's heart finally relaxed, but she saw Siyin suddenly looking in her direction with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

However, Siyin's gaze only stayed for a moment before she was attracted by the footsteps coming from behind her.

The young Xie Qingyao, dressed in a moon-white robe, walked slowly into the yard.

"Qingyao!" Siyin immediately stood up and went to meet him. The hem of her red dress swept across the ground, and bells jingled in her hair. Her tone was filled with uncontrollable joy. "Just now... the child moved! Really moved!"

Xie Qingyao paused, then walked forward and extended his hand to support her: "Really?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at Siyin's bulging belly, not believing what Siyin said.

The fetus in her womb had only one soul and one spirit, and was born with a defective soul and spirit, so it would not survive until the day of birth.

He actually didn't have much expectations for this child, as he already had Yanshu.

But after seeing Siyin's pure joy, he still agreed to her words.

After all, compared to Fang Ying's tyranny and boredom, he preferred Si Yin's stunning beauty and gentleness and kindness.

If it is a child born to them, it must be extremely beautiful.

"Really." Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, Siyin quickly pulled his hand over and gently pressed it on her pregnant belly, "Touch it, he just kicked me again."

As soon as Xie Qingyao's hand touched it, he clearly felt a slight fetal movement.

He was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

Siyin said happily, "I told you, the formation I set up can definitely gather the child's soul here."

Xie Qingyao was not very happy. He felt that Siyin was not just an ordinary person as she said.

The day she set up the soul-gathering formation, he knew for the first time that she could actually set up formations.

This is not something an ordinary girl would do.

He lowered his eyes: "Siyin, are you hiding something from me?"

Siyin lowered her eyes, bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, and was about to tell him her true identity, but then she changed her mind and realized that she hated the demons so much.

She'd better not tell him.

She shook her head: "No."

Xie Qingyao didn't think too much about it. He pressed his forehead to relieve his fatigue.

Yanshu has been ill recently, and he has been taking care of him, and he only comes here when he has time.

He said softly, "The sect still has things to do, I have to go back."

Si Yin was a little reluctant: "Aren't you a small sect? Why are you so busy?"

He concealed his identity as the leader of the Qingwei Sect and only said that he was an inner disciple of a small sect.

Xie Qingyao said: "I will come back when you give birth to a child."

"No need." Si Yin said in a panic, "Shi Rong will take care of me. You are busy with the sect's affairs, so there is no need to rush over."

Demon women are at their weakest when giving birth and cannot control the leakage of demonic energy. If he were there, her identity would be exposed.

So, she planned to find a deserted place to give birth.
