“Easy, waste her.” Ye Xiaolu replied after five minutes.
In this world, you would always be you. But if another you appeared, who would make you you? When it came to choices, you’d want yourself to make them, or the other you?
“If that me’s soul perishes, will I die?”
“No.”
“That settles it. Just kill her.”
“I can’t. Only you can.”
“Say what?” Ye Xiaolu was shocked.
“You’re an Emulsion Spirit Body. I have no way of keeping your body intact and still take out your soul.”
“Kill the soul first.”
“That will severely damage your body’s capability.”
“To sum it up, only I can kill me?”
Li Mo nodded.
“Meh, it’s just killing anyway. I am the one who understands me most.”
“If you understand yourself, why then didn’t you want to kill yourself earlier?”
“Bloody hell, if it’s you or me, makes no difference. I am me in this moment, so how can the past me still be me?
“Don’t say anymore. Just hurry it up. I want a body.”
Li Mo took out the Staff of Origin.
“You better think…”
“I have. Isn’t it just killing myself? Come on, chop-chop.” Ye Xiaolu was getting impatient.
The Staff of Origin’s glow wrapped around the two.
He was so brazen in using the origin power because he wasted the Gates. This differed from the times when using it to open time-space ruptures. This time he and Ye Xiaolu were going back in time.
Hum~
Li Mo and Ye Xiaolu appeared before a grand mansion.
Ye Xiaolu cried, “Your stick has some use after all. This is my old home.”
“Eh~, what’s up with you?”
Ye Xiaolu found Li Mo to be the same as her, transparent.
“I am unclear if this is the real past or not. But the laws in this place makes us spectators.”
“What damn use does that have?”
“At the right timing, I can use the Staff of Origin to cancel the laws, but only for half an hour at the most.”
“You mean that if I don’t kill myself in half an hour, we came here for nothing?”
“Yes.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
Ye Xiaolu flew into the mansion.
Li Mo followed to see Ye Xiaolu in a daze, looking at a middle-aged maid.
“Aunty Cai…” Ye Xiaolu sobbed.
“Young miss, you should eat.” Aunty Cai urged.
Ye Xiaolu’s body lay on the couch, holding a guitar as she hummed and wrote songs. Sure, Ye Xiaolu had a rotten character, with a sky high self conceit, but she was talented. Her words, her voice, all were made for singing.
“Young miss, you haven’t eaten a thing for a whole day. Please have a bite.”
Ye Xiaolu looked at the maid and threw the guitar.
“I said I don’t want to eat! Stop with the damn nagging! You’re just a dog I hired, so beat it! Get lost!”
Aunty Cai fell while Ye Xiaolu didn’t care as she went to her bedroom.
Aunty Cai grabbed the guitar and the scattered music scores, held her bruised forehead and tidied up the living room.
She then left money on the coffee table, the money Ye Xiaolu paid her for the five years of work she did under her.
“Don’t leave, waaah~” The soul Ye Xiaolu was crying.
“She is my last servant, also the last person who cared for me. She is from my mom’s village…” Ye Xiaolu sobbed.
“When Aunty Cai left, I was all alone in this house.”
“Isn’t this a common occurance in your life?” Ye Xiaolu glared at Li Mo.
“I have many redeeming qualities, alright?”
“Which ones?”
“I can write songs, lyrics, am pretty. Aren’t these qualities enough?“
“With so many qualities on you, why is it that everyone around you left?” Ye Xiaolu was silent.
“Do it, there’s no one here now. This is our best chance.”
Li Mo went into the bedroom just as Ye Xiaolu cried behind him, “Don’t go in!”
Too little, too late. Li Mo just passed the wall to see a buck naked Ye Xiaolu dancing in the mirror.
That waist, that oh so fair skin. She was a beauty alright.
“You can’t look!”
Ye Xiaolu covered his eyes. But wasn’t she a soul as well, see through and all that?
“Want me to go out?”
Ye Xiaolu gnashed her teeth, “Do you even need to ask?”
“You sure have some fascinating hobbies, dancing stark naked in front of a mirror.”
“What do you know? This is practice, practice! Haven’t you seen those fashion models wearing no underwear underneath their clothes? This is the same, to make a perfect display of their talent.”
“I don’t see it. But you sure are dedicated to your career.”
“Cut the crap, I’m Asia’s first empress.”
“A washed up empress.”
“Get out!”
He was only gone for like twenty second before Ye Xiaolu called him back.
“Take your fill. No matter how much you watch, it’s all the same. The problem is that my attacks don’t work on her. She doesn’t even feel them. What now?”
Li Mo used the Staff of Origin on Ye Xiaolu’s soul to give her origin power.
The origin power was the source of the world. It was beyond mere spiritual qi. So even if she had the Emulsion Spirit Body, it couldn’t do no good against the origin power.
After a while, another Ye Xiaolu body appeared in the bedroom.
“Remember, the origin power can hold your body for only half an hour.”
“Die, Ye Xiaolu!”
With a shriek, the new Ye Xiaolu charged at the butt naked Ye Xiaolu.
The latter was shocked.
Two identical Ye Xiaolu were facing off, stark naked.
Ye Xiaolu charged Ye Xiaolu and started wrestling…
The Ye Xiaolus used underhanded attacks, below the belt, at the chest. They had no shame, making it hard to believe how she even got the empress title.
“Who the hell are you? Why do you look like me?”
“I am you, and you are me. You’re just going to die while I still want to live. I am going to kill you and take back my body.”
“You bitch!”
“You’re the bitch!”
“I’ll scratch you!”
“I’ll ran you through!”
Two Ye Xiaolus twisted around for twenty minutes, with not a winner in sight. Their bodies were covered with blue and purple spots, with even patches of hair missing from their heads. They weren’t long for baldness.
“Lil’ Mo, help me out! I can’t win!” Ye Xiaolu cried.
Li Mo made himself a body as well.
“You naked-ass man, you look just like that son of a she-dog. None of you are good!”
Ye Xiaolu flipped and mounted Ye Xiaolu.
“Lil’ Mo, f*** her up!”
