Chapter 1043: This Isn’t A Date (3)

Shen Yanxiao was startled. She looked up hesitantly. Xiu’s face was against the moonlight, and her silhouette could be seen reflecting in his lowered eyes.

His gaze was so calm and her reflection was exceptionally clear.

A wave suddenly surged in her calm heart, and Shen Yanxiao’s expression unconsciously became fl.u.s.tered.

“You’re clearly a soul, but why do you have a shadow?” Shen Yanxiao lowered her head, not daring to look at her reflection in Xiu’s eyes.

“My condensed body can be regarded as a physical body for the time being,” Xiu patiently explained.

“Then… will your body also emit heat?” Shen Yanxiao recalled her intimate contact with someone in the northern mountain forest. At that time, everything happened too suddenly that she did not notice it.

Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and suddenly fell silent.

The strange atmosphere made Shen Yanxiao nervous. She looked up at Xiu and pondered if her question was inappropriate. After all, Xiu was a soul and his current body was only a temporary transformation. This was probably a problem in his heart.

“Err… forget it.” Shen Yanxiao scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. There was something wrong with her mind tonight. Her thoughts were a total mess.

Just as Shen Yanxiao was vexed as to why she had suddenly turned stupid, Xiu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Shen Yanxiao’s fair, tender hand.

His slender fingers held Shen Yanxiao’s soft, weak hand, but there was no warmth.

His touch brought nothing but ice-cold chill.

“Right now, I am only an illusion,” Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and said slowly.

Xiu’s words caused Shen Yanxiao’s heart to ache all of a sudden. She frowned and looked at Xiu, watching his face that could make the whole world lose its color as it displayed no trace of emotion.

He was only a soul, not a real person.

No matter how it transformed, it was only an illusion similar to the reflection of the moon in a mirror. Soon, it would turn into mist and dissipate.

Shen Yanxiao subconsciously held Xiu’s hand and suddenly smiled. “Look, if I hold you, I can transfer my warmth to you.”

Shen Yanxiao was not willing to view Xiu as just a soul and even wanted to pa.s.s her own warmth to him.

Even though there was no disappointment or sadness on his face, Shen Yanxiao did not like what Xiu said. Just because he did not reveal it did not mean that he did not mind it. Xiu was trying so hard to recover his strength, so naturally, he wanted to have a corporeal body.

“Xiu, if your strength recovers to its peak, can you recover your original body?” Shen Yanxiao asked in a low voice.

Xiu was momentarily stunned before he slowly said, “No.”

“Why?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Xiu. Could it be that he could never recover his true body?

Xiu raised his head and looked at the night sky. His half-squinted eyes had shed their disguise, and the pair of golden eyes appeared once again.

“My body is still in this world. Only by finding it can I have a real body.”

“What?” Shen Yanxiao did not quite understand what Xiu meant.

Xiu explained. “You can interpret a body as a vessel for carrying a soul. The only thing in this world that can perfectly merge with my soul is my own body. I know it is still here, but my current strength is not strong enough to determine his exact location. When my strength recovers, I will find him and merge with it again. At that time, I will be the original me.”
