Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

When Amina found Gao Huating, she almost didn't recognize this little songstress.

Her face was haggard, her eyes somewhat vacant, clutching her guitar while curled up in the bed's corner, with empty bottles of low-alcohol beverages, a local specialty of the Fortress, beside her.

Amina was not skilled in comforting people.

But now, Wang Jixuan was in seclusion and unseen, and Gao Huating was exceptionally important to them.

Amina stood outside the door, pondering how she should start speaking.

She glanced at Mu Dan beside her, and said in surprise, "Just noticed, have you changed clothes?"

Mu Dan was wearing a mermaid dress, elegantly showcasing her excellent artificial figure.

Mu Dan slightly pouted, "With the master not here, the maid is naturally on holiday mode."

"Hmm," Amina crossed her arms, thinking deeply.

Mu Dan asked, "Not going to persuade her?"

"I can't persuade people," Amina turned her head to glance at her two subordinates.

The handsome man and beautiful woman both lowered their heads in embarrassment.

In the past, they were also bossy, good at berating people, but not so good at persuading them.

Amina said, "Moreover, this matter is too complicated."

"Complicated?"

"Yes, Gao Huating was manipulated by that Guardian of Cloud City. They used some unknown means, causing Wang Zheng's demonic outburst this time, and their goal was to make Gao Huating take away Wang Zheng's virtue, thereby dividing half of his cultivation power, allowing Gao Huating to step into the ranks of cultivators."

Amina pursed her lips, momentarily unsure how to express it.

Mu Dan said playfully, "The commander's virtue."

"This description might not be entirely accurate, but it's roughly like that."

"You should still try to coax her," Mu Dan said, "I've used every method I know, and the only thing left was to let her drown her sorrows."

"Then I'll try my best."

Amina directly turned the door handle and pushed the door open to enter.

Gao Huating looked up, a bit awkward as she placed the guitar neatly, trying to cover the messily placed empty bottles with a sheet.

Amina smiled and said, "No need to fuss, I've been watching you for a while from outside."

Gao Huating gave an awkward smile.

Outside the door, Mu Dan couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.

This lady really doesn't seem to know how to comfort people...

They heard Amina say:

"You might not be aware, but I visited an ancient civilization's ruins and met the one claiming to be your past life's residual spirit, but I can't be sure if she really is.

"Before Wang Zheng went into seclusion, he asked me to keep an eye on your mental state, as he was worried you'd fall into guilt.

"Actually, there's no need to blame yourself.

"Just like all humans, including myself, can't choose their parents, this is not your fault."

"Hmm," Gao Huating forced a smile, "I'm just in a bad mood, but it's nothing else. All adults must learn to self-regulate."

"That's good to hear."

Amina breathed a sigh of relief in her mind.

Did she just successfully comfort her?

Now that she's come, she should attend to the main business first.

Amina sat on a nearby chair, signaling Gao Huating to sit down as well.

Using her true self, as she always does in major operations, she subconsciously maintained her poise, behaving as gracefully as possible, a habit formed over the past seventeen thousand years that's hard to change.

"Assuming the Guardian is indeed your past soul, how much do you know about your past life's residual soul?"

Gao Huating said, "Not much... Most of her communication with me is persuading words."

"What kind of words?"

"Well," Gao Huating looked aside, "in many aspects, from food, clothing, housing, to how to make friends, she has inexplicable requests for me, constantly encouraging me to establish a good relationship with Commander Wang Zheng, even saying ordinary human life is limited, youth is limited, and in twenty years I will have a chance... things like that."

Amina asked, "By ordinary people, she means Lingtong?"

"Yes, I think so."

"When did this persuasion begin?"

"Ten months ago, I remember, or maybe earlier, at first I just took her words as jokes."

Gao Huating lowered her head and sighed:

"At first, I didn't think much of it.

But as she spoke, gradually I too became confused, about whether my emotions towards Commander Wang Zheng were purely admiration." T.h^i-s% c*h!apt-e%r was u#p.l&o.a+d*ed$ by the t^e.a$m! at M|@VL&EMPYR@.

"Admiration and affection are often interchangeable, and you need not feel guilty about that."

Amina said simply:

"Although I have no interest in romantic relationships, I have seen this kind of situation many times.

"Don't worry, you're a healthy and mature woman of childbearing age, reproduction is a basic biological instinct."

Gao Huating's face reddened slightly.

Amina continued to probe, focusing on Gao Huating and her past life.

It's true;

According to Mu Dan's emotion detection device, as Amina and Gao Huating talked, Gao Huating came out of that despondent state.

Mu Dan analyzed slightly...

This was probably because Amina subconsciously treated Gao Huating and that ancient civilization's Guardian as two separate individuals.

The effect was really quite good.

Half an hour later, Amina lightly furrowed her brow.

Gao Huating, speaking until her throat was dry, quietly asked, "Do you have anything else you need to ask?"

Amina shook her head slightly.

Using her fingers to press her forehead, slightly turning sideways, she elegantly expressed her current headache.

Amina said, "As it stands now, this ancient residual spirit is indeed very kind to you, considering everything for you, including leading to Wang Zheng's loss of control this time... Has she ever mentioned Wang Jixuan to you?"

"Wang Jixuan?"

"Yes, it seems to be Wang Zheng's original name, but Wang Zheng also says Wang Zheng is his real name, I'm not sure."
