Chapter 597: The Longing to Sink In
The consciousness of Gu Dongxing from ancient times was in great torment: "Without being with my Empress, whatâs the point of my resurrection?"
Gu Dongxing countered: "Who said itâs your resurrection right now? This body clearly belongs to me in this lifetime. Besides, I havenât shut down your consciousness. We share one soul and one body. As long as I am with Mengyu, you feel the same, right? What more do you want?"
The ancient consciousness thought about it and found it reasonable. Whether soul or body, they were one and the same. In essence, they were one person. If the modern consciousness was with the reincarnation of the Empress, wasnât that equivalent to him being with the Empress?
"Fine, you take the lead," he compromised, allowing his own consciousness to sink into the depths of the soul.
When Gu Dongxing opened his eyes again, he exhaled: "Donât worry, that guy wonât come out again."
Mengyu was still apprehensive: "Really?"
"Of course itâs true. I guarantee it!" He thought for a moment and added, "Actually, he is also a part of me now, just retaining a bit of ancient thought."
Mengyu nodded: "But just nowâ"
"Iâm sorry for earlier. It wonât happen again." Gu Dongxing cursed the ancient consciousness in his mind. His Xiao Meng had already let her guard down around him, but now, she seemed to have armed herself again.
Getting her to open her heart to him again would probably take some time.
He wondered, "Didnât you receive the ancient consciousness?"
Mengyu nodded: "I received it, but it was just memories, the consciousnessâ"
"Iâm hereâ" She suddenly remembered the sensation when the Gu Dongxing controlled by the ancient consciousness had carried her to the grand bed in the sleeping chamber, the consciousness in her that wanted to yield to him.
No, that consciousness was also within her, albeit hidden, usually not surfacing unless Gu Dongxing, manipulated by that guy, intended to be intimate with her.
She sighed: "The ancient consciousness is very weak and usually doesnât appear."
Gu Dongxing let out a long sigh, unsure whether receiving the memories of his past life was good or bad.
He thought to himself that if he were manipulated by that ancient consciousness in the future, she might as well just let herself go and be controlled by that ancient consciousness.
But for some reason, he couldnât bring himself to say it.
Moreover, he actually felt the actions of the ancient consciousness himself and longed to sink into them.
He placed his hand on Mengyuâs shoulder: "Listen, Xiao Meng, whether itâs the ancient consciousness or the modern consciousness, itâs all me. Therefore, I hope you can accept both. If you canât accept it immediately, take your time. Whether itâs the me from ancient times or the present day, I love you. I hope you wonât reject me!"
In fact, no matter what, he was happy. To think that he and his little thing had ties from a previous life.
That little thing was indeed meant to be his bride.
Mengyu gave it some thought and felt it made sense. Whether in ancient or modern times, she had fallen in love with him. There really was no need to resist his ancient consciousness so much.
She nodded: "I will gradually adapt."
Gu Dongxing breathed a sigh of relief. He was just afraid that Mengyu would reject him outright because she could not accept his ancient consciousness.
Suddenly remembering something, he let go of Mengyu, bent down to search the man in the Jade Coffin, and pulled off the ring on the manâs finger.
Inside that ring, there was a vast amount of Cultivation Resources that he had prepared for their reincarnation as a couple in the next life.
