23 Chapter 023 - She’s the same person all along

Ba Yue is completely speechless and is way beyond surprised. She thinks she knows what is going a little by now, but she doesn't want to make the final guess without finish listening to message to the very end.

"After my older sister, Xia Ling misled the assassins to somewhere else, I hid myself to a close by cave within a tree. I've waited for my sister to come back to look for me, but after 3 days, there's still no sign of her. I was very worried, so I decided to look for her. I couldn't find her anywhere, but I know she's still alive, I can feel it through the sealed baby's soul in my body.

A year passed since we have been separated, I've finally found her in Fu country. She was already married and was pregnant at the time. I didn't know if her new family knows about me or our background, so I sneaked into her new home to meet with her.

She was very surprised and happy to see me. She told me after they have separated, she was chased by the assassins for a whole day and she had no choice but to run even farther. She was at the mountains when the assassins caught up to her, so she had no choice but to jump off the mountain cliff. But there were lots of trees and brushes under the mountain, it had helped to lighten her fall a little.

But my older sister was still severely injured and thought she would die just like that. She didn't want to die, not until she gives birth to a body to transfer the baby's soul. Luckily, she was saved by someone passing by. It was a young man, he just so happens to be training nearby.

He brought her back home and nurse her back to health. He fell in love with her but she only married him to repay his kindness and to conceive a baby so the soul can be transferred over. We have decided to pretend we don't know each other since she had told her new family nothing of her past. We didn't want any trouble and definitely don't want to have any suspicions fall upon us if one day the assassins come to this country to look for us.

I have also settled down in this country since I didn't want to be too far from my sister and we can meet in secret once in a while. Soon, I have met Ba Shao Ten. Unlike my sister, I have really fallen in love with him. We have gotten married soon after and what follows soon after was my pregnancy.

I knew my first pregnancy was a son because I can still feel the seal still there. I was happy and sad at the same time. I was happy that I'm having children with the person I love. But I'm sad at the same time because it's not a daughter and I can't transfer the soul to the new living being inside of me.

After two years of trying, I have finally gotten pregnant again. It is this child inside of me right now as I speak and this child is you. I know right away you will be a daughter because I can feel the seal lifted. I know the soul is not my child but the body of the baby is my flesh and blood.

I can't help but feel that no matter the soul or the body of this baby, it's all part of my child. I love this child inside of me. I'm scared and worried at the same time. I'm scared what if the day comes when the soul will leave my child body, does that mean my child would die? I'm also worried if anything happens to me, who can take care of my child. And who will know the truth of this child other than my older sister?

I immediately contacted my older sister and we have met up in secret. I told her my concerns, but she reassured me that nothing will go wrong and the baby and I will be fine.

My older sister has already given birth to a daughter, she named her daughter Li Hei Yi. She took the character "Hei" from Rong Hei Yue and used it in her daughter's name. I did the same, I planned to name my daughter Ba Yue. The character "Yue" was also taken from Rong Hei Yue. When the character "Hei" and "Yue" combined together is the name of young miss Rong's daughter's name.

We remembered that Nan On-Ping said that it will take many years to heal Rong Hei Yue's body, so my sister and I have decided to keep quiet about it until Ba Yue is at least 16 years old. By then, we believe both our daughter will be mature enough to handle the truth even if we told them.

My older sister insisted that after we told the girls the truth to immediately bring them to the spirit world to look for Nan On-Ping, so she can remove the soul from the girls and place it back to its original body. My sister has always felt that her daughter is just a container for Rong Hei Yue's soul.

I think she feels that way because she's only making a baby's body to hold the soul, and there was no real love involved. Her husband might have been in love with her, but she's only with him to repay him for saving her and also need someone to help her make a container for the soul.

In a way, it's the truth. The soul was already born and forcefully taking out of the original body, we are just making a body which is a container to contain the soul. When the 2 souls merge together and go back into Rong Hei Yue, she will be the true daughter of the Rong Family.

Even though I understand that, but my heart is telling me she's still my child. And that will never change no matter what she will be in the future.

Ah Yue, I'm running out of time with this memory rock. I just want you to know I loved you very much and you are also my daughter. And I don't know what the future will bring and how it will turn out. But never be confused and follow your heart. If I'm no longer around, you can look for my older sister. She's married into the Li Family, she can answer more of your questions."

Suddenly, the memory rock stops projecting any more images and sound. The message is finished playing. Ba Yue is just stunned by all this new information, she didn't move or make a sound for over an hour. There's no way for her head to process all this.

Finally, she thought of something. Something that is very important! Her soul might have already merged together without her even realizing it!

"Little Red, please tell me this is a dream."

"Young Master, it's not a dream. I have seen and heard the message and so have you."

"Little Red, you might not know this, but I was Li Hei Yi before. I died a few months ago but woke up in this body. I have always thought that I have been reborn and took over this body. But if what I heard is what I think it means, both Ba Yue and I originally had the same soul but grew up in different bodies. So technically, we are the same person, right? Does that mean our soul have merged together already or is this body still missing half a soul?"

"Young Master, your current body has a complete soul. When we formed the soul contract earlier, I was able to see your soul very clearly. Can you tell me more about how you die and what happened to this current body of your when it happens?"

Ba Yue start telling Little Red of how she died as Li Hei Yi and also told him that around the same time, Ba Yue was in a coma due to an accident.

"Young Master, I believed that when you died as Li Hei Yi, the soul has left that body. Since it's only a half soul, it subconsciously traveled to find the other half of its soul. The soul of Li Hei Yi found Ba Yue who happened to be in a coma, so the two soul merges together. Since Li Hei Yi is the main soul and Ba Yue is the sub soul, the main soul took over and absorbs the sub soul and all her memories. So Ba Yue didn't really die or disappeared, she's actually you."

Ba Yue finally understands why she died as Li Hei Yi and woke up as Ba Yue. She didn't get reborn, she only merged together with her other half of the soul. She's the same person all along. She is also the real Ba Yue!

"Little Red, does that mean this isn't my real body either, do I have to go look for my real body. If I become someone else, will our contract still remains?"

"Young Master, we have a soul contract. No matter if you change bodies or reborn many times, your soul will not change and our contract will remain until one of our soul is completely destroyed.

And yes, this is not your real body. According to what I understand, your parents are from Tin Feng upper plane world. So your original body should be stronger than this current one. Just like how God Beast is so much stronger than the spiritual beast of this world. It is just the same for Tin Feng and Yuan Ren world.

People from the upper world are ten times stronger than the lower plane world. Not only that, but the people from the upper plane world also have a lot longer lifespan. Their lifespan depends on their power and strength, the stronger they are, the longer they live. And after reaching a certain level, they will also stop aging.

And Young Master, I don't think you have to worry so much. We don't know what happens to your original body yet, maybe it's not healed yet. So you can continue to use this current body. Even if it is healed, you can choose to either stay in your current body or not. Your soul will not leave your current body unless someone forcefully removes it from your body or your current body have died."

"This is just too much for me right now. I need some time to digest all these information. We'll come back here again some other day. For now, let's leave here."

Ba Yue then picks up Little Red and left the room. After passing the passage again, she reaches the inside of Madame Ba's bedroom. She saw her father sitting on a chair, resting his eyes closed to wait for her.

"Father, I'm a little tired, let's go. I have found the space bracelet already."

Ba Shao Ten opened his eyes, he turns to look at his daughter and saw Ba Yue's face a little pale. He worriedly asked if she was okay. Ba Yue nodded her head and said she just feel a little tired.

"Father, can I come back here again to go to that room?"

"Of course, that room belongs to you now. You can come over whenever you want."

"Thanks, father. I'm a little tired and wanted to rest a bit. I won't have dinner with you tonight."

"Okay, you go on to rest now."

Ba Yue left Madame Ba's house and head back to her own living quarter. Once she got back, she went straight to her own bedroom. She told Little Red that she needs to straighten out the things in her head. And will talk to him again in the morning.
