Shen Yanxiao was slightly startled, and raised his head hesitantly. His beautiful face was reflected in the moonlight, and her figure was reflected in his lowered eyes.
His eyes were so calm, and her reflection was extremely clear.
The calm inner lake suddenly stirred up a wave of waves, and Shen Yanxiao's eyes were a little panicked unconsciously.
"You are obviously a soul, why do you have a shadow?" Shen Yanxiao lowered his head and did not dare to look at himself in Xiu's eyes.
"My condensed body can be temporarily used as an entity." Xiu explained patiently.
"Then...does your body also have temperature?" Shen Yanxiao thought of her previous close contact with someone in the northern mountains and forests. It happened so suddenly that she didn't notice it at all.
Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and suddenly became silent.
The weird atmosphere made Shen Yanxiao a little nervous. She raised her head and looked at Xiu, thinking whether her question was inappropriate. After all, Xiu is the soul, and the current body is only a temporary transformation. This is probably what is in his heart. The limit of it.
"Uh... just think I didn't ask." Shen Yanxiao scratched her hair in embarrassment. Something was wrong with her mind tonight and her thinking was a little confused.
Just when Shen Yanxiao was worried about why he suddenly became stupid, Xiu suddenly raised his hand and held Shen Yanxiao's white and tender palm.
The slender fingers were held in Shen Yanxiao's weak, boneless hands, but there was no warmth at all.
All that was left was an icy coolness.
"I am just a phantom now." Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and said slowly.
Xiu's words suddenly caused a throbbing pain in Shen Yanxiao's heart. She frowned and looked at Xiu, looking at the face that made heaven and earth eclipse. There was no expression at all.
He is just a soul, not a real person.
No matter how it transforms, it is just nothingness like the mirror, flowers, water and moon. After a while, it will turn into mist and dissipate.
Shen Yanxiao subconsciously held Xiu's hand. She suddenly smiled and said, "Look, if I hold you, I can make you warm."
Even if it was to pass her body temperature to him, Shen Yanxiao didn't want to think that repairing was just a matter of the soul.
Although there was no loss or sadness on that face, Shen Yanxiao didn't like Xiu saying that. Just because he didn't show it didn't mean he didn't mind. Xiu worked so hard to regain his strength, so naturally he also wanted to become a new person again. A real entity, not an illusion.
"Xiu, if your strength returns to its peak, can you return to your original form?" Shen Yanxiao asked in a low voice.
Xiu was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "No."
"Why?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Xiu, could it be said that he would never be able to return to his true form?
Xiu looked up at the night sky, the camouflaged blackness of his half-lidded eyes faded away, and those golden eyes reappeared.
"My body is still in this world. Only by finding him can I return to my original appearance."
"What?" Shen Yanxiao didn't quite understand what Xiu meant.
Xiu explained: "You can understand the body as a container that carries the soul. The only one in this world that can perfectly integrate with my soul is my own body. I know it is still here, but my current strength is not strong enough. I can't determine his specific location. When my strength recovers, I will find him and merge with him again. Then I will be the original me."
