Chapter 108
Unable to treat Zheng Xuening’s injuries immediately, Lu Dieqing was a little anxious. At this moment, all her attention was no longer on the art of puppetry.
“Can you help Ningning heal her injuries?”
Aren’t the legendary immortals all very powerful?
Commanding the winds and rains, omnipotent.
Then this little injury, can it also be healed immediately?
The girl looked at the two dolls with a sincere and expectant gaze.
She already had a face that easily made people feel fond of her, and her aura was gentle and pure. When she showed a bit of a helpless expression and made a request in a good-natured tone, she could soften the heart of anyone with good intentions.
The female doll Bingqing was no exception.
After all, when a doll was born with consciousness, it was no different from a human. They all had souls, and possessed emotions and thoughts.
“Let me,” she said, taking a step forward, the ribbon in her hand waving.
It seemed as if a gentle breeze had brushed past.
Zheng Xuening felt a tingling and itching sensation on her shoulder, as if many new flesh buds were growing on the wound.
She turned around and, by the light of the river of stars in the cave, she looked at the wound.
She glanced at it and found that it had already scabbed over, and the injury was recovering at an extremely fast rate.
Because it was recovering so quickly, there was that tingling and itching sensation.
Not only that, but when she had taken the blow from the female doll Bingqing for Lu Dieqing, her hand had also been cut by the spiritual energy contained in the ribbon.
Now, the pain in her palm had almost completely disappeared.
“How is it, Ningning? Is it any better?”
Lu Dieqing was like a little rabbit, circling around Zheng Xuening, so anxious she was on the verge of pulling up her clothes on her shoulder to see.
But with the two dolls behind her, no matter how anxious Lu Dieqing was, she could only hold back and ask.
Zheng Xuening looked up and smiled reassuringly at the girl, a few traces of slyness flashing in her eyes.
“It’s healed.”
“Really?” Lu Dieqing clearly didn’t quite believe it. She wanted to reach out and touch her shoulder to see how the injury had recovered.
But she was also afraid of hurting the other. Her hand was halfway out, and then she retracted it.
This eager look completely failed to hide her concern.
The female doll Bingqing saw this and came forward to say, “I used the Spring Rain Technique to heal her just now, which can speed up her recovery. She will be fully recovered in two hours.”
After all, this injury was not serious. There were no missing arms or legs.
To think that back then, when they were with their master, they would often run around with only half a body, and then the next time they were healed and their bodies were repaired, they would be back in the jianghu, full of life.
After so many years of not seeing their master, today they had finally waited for a successor, and the other was such a cute girl.
Seeing the interaction between Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening, the two dolls couldn’t help but think of the years they had spent with their master.
The passage of time was truly just a matter of a flick of a finger.
When Bingqing looked at Zheng Xuening, her eyes were tinged with a few traces of envy.
The bond between a doll and a puppeteer was one of spiritual complementarity and mutual dependence.
But not every puppeteer could maintain their original intention of love while possessing great power.
Their master back then had been considered gentle. But in the end, it was inevitable that her personality had changed a little, becoming more and more numb… and even… her mind had been affected.
In the end, their master had had no choice but to leave them here to wait for the final successor.
Thinking of the hundreds of years of separation from their master, a few traces of gloom and sadness appeared on the female doll Bingqing’s face.
“If you obtain the puppeteer’s legacy, you can also have your doll cultivate the Spring Rain Technique.”
She specially explained, “A doll will not bleed when injured, it will only damage the body, which needs to be replaced. So after learning the Spring Rain Technique, it is used on humans. Or rather, on our masters.”
After confirming that Ningning’s injuries had recovered, Lu Dieqing was almost entranced.
She couldn’t help but look at the little wooden doll lying quietly in her palm, a few traces of anticipation arising.
“My Xinxin will also be able to become so powerful in the future?”
Hearing the name of her other identity, Zheng Xuening held a fist to her lips and coughed lightly.
It was her fault for having only one soul, but two bodies, and not being able to control them at the same time.
The two dolls in the cave, however, both glanced at Lu Dieqing at the same time, and when their peripheral vision fell on Zheng Xuening, the corners of their lips twitched.
It was really rare to see such a combination.
The puppeteer didn’t even know that her doll’s living soul was her companion beside her.
It was clear how naive this girl was.
If it had been anyone else, they would probably have discovered the clues long ago.
But the two dolls did not intend to be nosy and say it out for the time being.
Because between a puppeteer and their successfully awakened doll, there was a loyalty and closeness that surpassed all relationships in this world.
And as the doll came into this world, the longer the time, the stronger this closeness would become.
It was better to respect the choice of these two girls.
The female doll Bingqing said to Lu Dieqing, “I have the legacy technique that our master entrusted to us here. In the future, you can have your doll practice according to these.”
She extended her finger and gestured for Lu Dieqing to come closer.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then obediently brought her head closer, without a trace of guard.
At the side, Zheng Xuening’s eyes, on the contrary, showed a bit of worry.
But when she saw the female doll Bingqing just lightly tap Lu Dieqing’s forehead with her fingertip for a short moment and then withdraw her finger, she was relieved.
Lu Dieqing’s eyes were lost for a moment.
Because as the female doll Bingqing’s finger touched her forehead, a lot of information suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was as if a jade slip had been stuffed into her mind out of thin air.
Lu Dieqing’s head felt full, and for a moment, she couldn’t digest the jade slip in her mind.
Zheng Xuening supported her shoulders and asked softly, “How are you? Is there any discomfort?”
The female doll Bingqing stood at the side and explained, “It won’t be harmful to her. It will just take two days to fully digest. The legacy information is sent directly to the sea of consciousness, which is more convenient to comprehend, and there’s no need to worry about the information being lost or forgotten.”
She looked at Zheng Xuening. “Since you two came together and supported each other with one heart, the other legacy will be given to you.”
She did not expose the fact that Zheng Xuening was the doll’s living soul.
Zheng Xuening nodded slightly.
The female doll Bingqing once again took a step forward and tapped Zheng Xuening with her fingertip.
A jade slip also appeared in Zheng Xuening’s sea of consciousness, floating quietly.
Compared to Lu Dieqing’s daze just now, Zheng Xuening’s eyes had been clear all along, not even blinking much.
She could even spare the attention to turn her head to look at Lu Dieqing and give her a playful wink.
“Pfft,” Lu Dieqing laughed.
“What legacy did you get?”
The girl asked curiously.
Although the information in the jade slip in her mind had not been fully digested, Lu Dieqing roughly knew what it contained.
It was all the experience of a puppeteer, teaching her how to make a truly high-level doll, and also included how to cooperate with her own doll in battle.
There were even some cultivation methods, which were considered introductory cultivation techniques.
The jade slip in Zheng Xuening’s sea of consciousness…
Included the Spring Rain Technique, which dolls had to learn, and some killing methods, which were also cultivation methods, but the cultivation direction was completely different from the jade slip Lu Dieqing had received.
The female doll looked at the two girls, who were about to exchange information in front of them in the cave, and was truly helpless.
In the cultivation world, it had always been a taboo to ask about each other’s cultivation methods.
But these two were completely open and unguarded.
No wonder one of them’s living soul had become the other’s doll.
