The little fox thought to itself.
That's right, that ghost fox A Zi tore apart his own soul to create me. If his soul isn't complete, how could it not affect his main body? If I wanted to break away, that ghost fox A Zi would definitely not agree.
Even though the little fox didn't understand much, it could guess that the consequences of a missing soul wouldn't be pleasant.
Moreover, the little fox couldn't help but worry.
Not only was the ghost fox A Zi no longer whole after splitting his soul, but I myself was also formed from a part of his soul. If I don't have a complete soul, wouldn't that also have very serious hidden dangers?
The little fox felt uneasy.
Ye Tiancheng also thought of these things and couldn't help but ask Long Miaomiao with concern, "Then how should we solve this hidden danger? And since the little fox was formed from a part of the ghost fox A Zi's soul, doesn't that mean the little fox's soul is also incomplete? Will this have any hidden dangers?"
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's anxiety, Long Miaomiao pondered for a moment.
She said to Ye Tiancheng, "In the final analysis, it's still necessary to let the little fox become independent, to let the little fox become a complete individual."
Both Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were stunned.
How could this be done?
Long Miaomiao continued, "This sounds simple but is a bit troublesome to do. Simply put, as long as the little fox is given a complete soul and becomes a whole entity, then he will be completely independent and there will be no after-effects of being merged.
"And because he is missing a part of his soul, this part of the soul cannot be re-integrated. This is also a great loss to that ghost fox A Zi.
"Moreover, during this process, as long as the little fox's own will is strong enough, there is no need to worry about the little fox's soul being merged by the ghost fox A Zi, the main body, before it is replenished.
"However, replenishing the soul is not easy. The little fox himself does not have a complete soul, so it is not as easy as collecting his own fragmented souls for repair. But the consequences of an incomplete soul are quite serious. My suggestion is that it is best to replenish the little fox's soul, which can minimize future worries."
Ye Tiancheng asked eagerly, "Then how should we replenish the little fox's soul?"
Long Miaomiao looked at the two of them and slowly gave her answer.
"To allow the little fox to have a complete soul, it is necessary to fill in the missing parts of his soul. Since he himself does not have these parts, he needs to collect fragmented souls from other entities. This will definitely come from other souls, and there are both advantages and disadvantages to this."
Upon hearing this method of replenishment, both the advantages and disadvantages could be guessed. However, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox decided to listen to what Long Miaomiao had to say first.
Long Miaomiao said, "If we want to collect fragmented souls from other entities to repair the little fox's soul, it is itself a difficulty to find the corresponding parts. Secondly, it is best for these souls to come from entities that are strong enough, preferably with good character, and are willing to give their fragmented souls to the little fox. This is the best choice.
"Because after the fragmented souls are merged into the little fox's soul, the will, personality, and talents of the original owner of the fragmented souls will affect the little fox. If the other party was originally a bad person, it will definitely affect the little fox.
"Moreover, if the owner of the fragmented soul is not willing to merge with the little fox, then they will definitely resist and cause a rejection reaction with the little fox's soul. If there is internal conflict, it will definitely consume the little fox's own soul power, and in the end, the deficiency will only increase. And if the souls repel each other, they cannot truly become a complete whole."
After hearing this, the little fox couldn't help but look dejected.
He looked at Ye Tiancheng and said to him, "Brother, since as long as my personal will is firm, the risk of being merged will be very small, then let's not force ourselves to repair the soul.
"We can't harm others to repair my soul, can we? And it has to be from someone with good character, and they have to be willing to offer their fragmented soul for me to repair. It should be very difficult to find such an existence."
Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but frown.
He was unwilling to give up easily, but Ye Tiancheng truly couldn't bring himself to harm others for this.
Ye Tiancheng was somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
He definitely couldn't give up on the little fox, nor could he harm others for this. However, the difficulty of achieving the conditions Long Miaomiao mentioned was imaginable.
But Ye Tiancheng was also worried about the little fox remaining like this.
Long Miaomiao said, "Little fox, I'm not trying to scare you, but you can't be too optimistic. Even if your own will is firm, if one day you are seriously injured or unconscious, and lose consciousness, and if that ghost fox A Zi wants to merge with you at that time, you will have lost consciousness and have no will to resist him."
Ye Tiancheng was suddenly startled.
That's right, if the ghost fox A Zi saw that the little fox had completely lost control and wanted to forcibly merge with the little fox, and then severely injure the little fox, forcibly swallowing him, that would also be feasible.
Ye Tiancheng immediately slapped the table and said firmly, "We still need to replenish the little fox's soul. We can't give up. Although we can't harm others, there must be a way. Even if it's a bit difficult, we can't easily give up hope."
Long Miaomiao also nodded and said, "Yes, you two shouldn't be too pessimistic.
"Although achieving the conditions is a bit difficult, it's not entirely impossible. In the end, the owners of the fragmented souls are already dead. They might have had some unfinished obsessions and wishes during their lives. If you have the chance to encounter good souls with clean souls, you can make a deal with them.
"Some people with deep obsessions or unfulfilled important wishes might actually be willing to make this deal.
"Humans are amazing, and for humans, some people, even if they lose their lives and their souls are incomplete, have wishes that must be fulfilled. Such existences are actually easy to find. The difficulty is nothing more than determining the other party's character and talents, and also being able to obtain the corresponding fragmented soul parts that can fill the gap.
"Although the workload will be very large and the execution will be quite difficult, even if a part of the little fox's own soul can be supplemented with some external fragmented souls, it will also increase the difficulty for the ghost fox A Zi to merge with the little fox. Once the little fox truly becomes a complete entity, the ghost fox A Zi will be completely unable to do anything to the little fox."
Long Miaomiao's comfort had an effect.
What Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were most worried about was the difficulty of achieving the point where the other party was willing. The difficulty of finding suitable fragmented souls was even more achievable than searching for a needle in a haystack.
But now that they heard from Long Miaomiao that they could obtain fragmented souls through transactions, they were much more relieved.
Since transactions were possible, there was still hope.
Although it was still like searching for a needle in a haystack, since the conditions were achievable, it brought hope to Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, and they were no longer so worried.
"That's good, at least we don't have to harm anyone."
The little fox breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Tiancheng also thought the same way, "As long as we can get fragmented souls through transactions, then in the future, we will pay more attention, and one day we will be able to repair the little fox's soul!"
Having understood the little fox's situation and obtained a solution, it was as if a burden had been lifted from Ye Tiancheng's mind, and they were completely at ease.
From now on, they would inevitably travel far and wide, and they might encounter all sorts of people and all sorts of fragmented souls. Since they already knew about this matter, they just needed to pay more attention during their journey, and they would surely gain something.
Even if they could supplement a part of the little fox's soul, it would be an extra layer of insurance for them.
Since this matter was considered almost resolved, they should shift their attention back to the main business and continue their journey to find the fragments of the Fuxi Qin.
Ye Tiancheng sensed the direction of the next Fuxi Qin fragment they needed to find.
They were about to head northeast.
Since they only had a direction and not a specific location, after getting into the car, they could only drive in that direction based on the sensed direction.
Only when they got closer to the new fragment and the sensation became stronger could they determine the exact location.
This time, the distance was a bit too far, which made the sensation somewhat unclear.
They drove with all their might towards the northeast. During the journey, the usually well-behaved fake "Hou Mingzhu" started causing trouble for the first time.
At that time, they were on their way, and everyone was in the car, including the fake "Hou Mingzhu" and Long Miaomiao, who was disguised as "Ye Qingcheng."
The fake "Hou Mingzhu" complained to Ye Tiancheng, saying that it was not good for their daughter to be constantly traveling with them like this, and she couldn't study properly. She thought about separating from Ye Tiancheng and taking her daughter back.
If this were the real Hou Mingzhu, it would be fine, but she was a fake.
Under these circumstances, what good could her proposal be?
Ye Tiancheng and the others knew it clearly.
Fortunately, it had already been confirmed that Ye Qingcheng was truly safe. The person remaining here was just a fake daughter disguised as an avatar. Therefore, when facing this situation, Ye Tiancheng could still pretend to be calm, although his heart was burning with anger.
He didn't mind people targeting him and harming him, but he couldn't tolerate them harming the people around him.
Ye Tiancheng tried his best to remain calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual. Li Xin engaged in a conversation with the fake "Hou Mingzhu" to probe her.
Ye Tiancheng asked her, "Why do you suddenly think this way? We have always understood this principle, but there's nothing we can do. If you and Qingcheng leave, how can I guarantee your safety?"
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want you to risk adventuring with me, do you understand?"
The fake "Hou Mingzhu" heard Ye Tiancheng say this and tried to persuade him. She said, "I understand your concern for us, but this is not a long-term solution. If Qingcheng continues to travel with us, it will definitely not be a good thing for her growth, won't it?"
Ye Tiancheng then asked, "Then how can your safety be guaranteed?"
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to Yuncheng? Yuncheng is on our way. We can stop there and leave me and Qingcheng. It's convenient. I have a place to go there, and you can settle me and Qingcheng there."
"Tiancheng, don't you know how to create protective spatial formations? Can you create one for us? That way, even if you're not here, we'll be safe, won't we?"
Ye Tiancheng fell silent. He sized up the fake "Hou Mingzhu" in front of him and, after thinking about something, she, fearing that Ye Tiancheng wouldn't agree, continued to persuade him for a while before Ye Tiancheng finally relented.
"Alright, since you have arrangements, it's a good thing. When we reach Yuncheng, we'll stop for a while and settle both you and Qingcheng there."
