62. Who Do You Say You Are?
What was the scene like back then?
Gong Yiling, with the help of the immortal formation, had finally dealt with the strange thing in her mind, absorbing all its spiritual and true essence.
Yes, this was a ten-course meal, a top-quality, ultimate supplement that even replenished her spiritual power, far more reliable than the venomous essence.
Just the initial amount she absorbed had allowed her to break through to the Soul Origin realm in an instant, her cultivation soaring to the great success stage.
If she weren’t worried about the situation outside, she could have ridden this wave and broken through to the Earthly Nether realm, though it would have been very time-consuming.
However, she had indeed received the immortal sound’s enlightenment, defeating the Heavenly Sin’s will, and her whole being had been sublimated. In her excitement, she came out only to see Yan Chuyue lying in a pool of blood.
The girl’s condition at that time could only be described as terrifying.
Her meridians were all severed, her heart meridian and dantian were severely damaged, and most of her internal organs were scorched by lightning, the rest not much better.
She was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the blood was even blackened by the lightning. Her chest was barely moving, and her spiritual energy was naturally dissipating.
How terrible was this situation? Basically, this was what everyone looked like before they died, and even a god couldn’t save her.
Gong Yiling’s mood immediately shifted from the thrill of revenge to confusion and shock. After hearing Feng Lili and the others’ explanation, it turned into an even more complex mixture of guilt and anger.
“Do you know how dangerous that was?”
Hearing Yan Chuyue bring this up now, Gong Yiling’s voice was still filled with a hint of anger. “What if the last bolt had killed you?”
“When I gambled on this formation, I never thought I wouldn’t have to pay a price.” Yan Chuyue was now able to make some small movements.
She took a small wine cup from the table. It was actually filled with freshly brewed hot tea, perfect for warming her hands.
“But I had no other choice.” Yan Chuyuyue smiled wryly. “I could only think of this way to save you. And I’m not that easy to kill.”
“The Divine Physician’s art can protect my heart meridian. As long as I can’t hold on, the lightning attraction technique will be interrupted, so I’ll never be struck by heavenly lightning without any defense.”
Although she said it with such confidence, and she had indeed done so…
Doing it was one thing, but what others saw was another.
Gong Yiling, hearing this, said with great guilt, “This is all my fault. If I had guessed that the Heavenly Sin had tampered with it, you wouldn’t have had to suffer like this.”
“If you could have guessed even that, you wouldn’t be Gong Yiling.”
“I’m not.”
Gong Yiling’s words left the person on the bed a bit confused.
But Yan Chuyue quickly reacted.
When she made that choice earlier, Gong Yiling had already hinted at something. Now, hearing her admit it directly, Yan Chuyue wasn’t too surprised.
“The real Gong Yiling is much colder than you. And she’s either working or on her way to work. Not like you, who’s either recruiting disciples or helping them.”
Ah, this… hearing Yan Chuyue say this, for some reason, it felt like she was complaining about her philandering.
But that wasn’t right.
Even if she still had a shred of a man’s dignity in her heart, she was undoubtedly a girl. Could a girl recruiting female disciples be considered philandering?
“Ahaha… ahahahaha…” Miss Gong didn’t know how to respond to this. She just sat down beside her and chuckled, rubbing her head.
“What are you doing?”
“Aren’t we both just as bad?”
“Who’s as bad as you?” Yan Chuyue couldn’t push her hand away and could only pout, feeling the strange sensation of her head being patted. “Have I ever flirted with anyone else?”
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
Gong Yiling said, “The Immortal-grade formation requires the Lightning Attraction Art, and also the original diagram of the formation to replicate. You were the one who told all this to Little Auntie.”
“And you also know some things about the outside world. You didn’t travel back from the future, but from Earth.”
When Yan Chuyue heard her mention “Earth,” she immediately reacted.
This was just like her second guess. The Gong Yiling before her was also a transmigrator from Earth.
No wonder when they first met, there seemed to be a faint connection between them.
At that time, she didn’t think much of it, but now it seemed this was the legendary…
Old friends from home, tears in their eyes?
“Mmm… this world is actually not good at all.” Yan Chuyue smiled nonchalantly. “There’s no air conditioning in the summer, no heating in the winter. You can’t play on your phone or browse gossip news.”
“Yeah.” Gong Yiling smiled in tacit understanding. “It’s just cultivation all day long. Although I haven’t cultivated much, there are always people causing trouble, forcing me to raise my cultivation. It’s really annoying.”
“If I could, I’d rather be a decadent college student, eating, drinking, and having fun all day, without having to worry about things like the greater good or the glory of the demonic sects.”
“If there’s anything good about it…” Yan Chuyue swirled the tea in her cup and suddenly changed the subject. “I can travel and have adventures in many places I couldn’t go to before. And with this identity, it seems I don’t have to struggle to make a living.”
“You didn’t go out much there?” Gong Yiling raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Because of some things, I rarely went out and had almost no friends.” Yan Chuyue chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Many things I wanted to do, I should have done in that world, but I only have the chance now.”
“But compared to those who closed their eyes and could never open them again, we’re still lucky, aren’t we?”
Hearing this, Yan Chuyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded. “Mmm, at least I met you here.”
Although they didn’t say much, these were their truest feelings, a tacit understanding between them.
After a long time, they both extended their hands to each other.
“Let’s reintroduce ourselves. My name is Gong Youwei.” “My name is Gong Youyuan.”
These two sentences were spoken almost at the same time, and then… and then they froze.
