Chapter 1856: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Ning Shu said to 2333, “Let’s see what happened after Feng Qingqian went back? “
In all honesty, based on Feng Qingqian’s personality, if she didn’t make some changes, her life would remain the same as before. Whether a person was able to live well or not depended on themselves.
A screen appeared in front of Ning Shu.
Not long after Ning Shu left, Feng Qingqian’s dead mother came back to life and Feng Qingqian returned with her mother to Scarlet Flames Nation.
However, Feng Qingqian’s attitude towards her parents was a bit distant. She still couldn’t get over what had happened in the past. Whenever she had free time, she would study the things that Ning Shu had left behind. The people of Scarlet Flames Nation were also poison specialists, so Feng Qingqian soon found a skilled teacher and started investigating poisons all day.
Poison and medicine had always been two sides of the same coin, and Feng Qingqian’s personality has always been quiet, calm, and patient, so she was able to pick things up very quickly.
However, Feng Qingqian’s personality remained the same. She didn’t speak much and didn’t have a great sense of presence. It was understandable though. One’s personality was difficult to change.
It was enough as long as one had the ability to protect themselves. After all, wasn’t the reason that Ying Su had been able to look down on Feng Qingqian so much based mainly on the fact that not only was Feng Qingqian quiet, she didn’t have any abilities of her own?
A person without any ability was always perceived as full of flaws. The current Feng Qingqian had the ability to save people, and also kill people, so her quiet personality now made her come off as calm and dependable.
Ning Shu turned off the screen and proceeded to sit on the sofa and absorb the pure soul energy in the system space.
When she finished cultivating, she touched her soul. It felt like her soul was getting stronger. In the past, the texture of her soul felt like soft cotton, but it felt like jelly and was much more dense.
However, it still couldn’t be counted as strong. After all, jelly could still be easily cut by something sharp. Her soul could only be said to be truly strong when no weapon could damage it and when it could once again possess a physical body.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but wonder if the school doctor uncle’s body was made purely of his soul or if it was a new physical body.
If it was a body, wasn’t it gross to be wearing the same outfit every day?
Wasn’t he a germaphobe?
Ning Shu pulled herself back from these wandering thoughts and asked 2333, “Is it better to maintain a good soul status, or is it better to once again have a physical body?”
“The limitations of the physical body are too great. All task-takers are souls.” said 2333. “It’s nothing but a skin.”
That kind of made sense.
But, how were you supposed to pa-pa-pa in a soul state?
Mentally!?
“Task-takers also have significant others right? Then are they supposed to pa-pa-pa-, no, I mean, how are they supposed to exchange affections?” asked Ning Shu.
“Uhh…” 2333’s voice contained clear disdain. “Task-takers are above the lowly pleasures of the flesh.”
Ning Shu was also a little speechless. How did she end up discussing this with 2333? However, she was still very curious. “Could it be there’s some sort of more elegant way of exchanging affections?”
“Could it be there’s no other way except for pa-pa-pa-ing?” said 2333 in an annoyed tone.
“But in all the love I saw, it was always about the pa-pa-pa,” replied Ning Shu. The ultimate purpose of men and women was to reproduce. All love, heartbreak, sweet talk, and romantic pursuit were only the efforts of men to persuade women of their ability to mate. The final goal was to reproduce. For the sake of successful reproduction and to make people create more descendants, the act was made to contain pleasure.
2333: …
“Let’s change the topic,” said 2333.
Ning Shu nodded. “Alright, but you still haven’t told me if there was a more elegant way to communicate affections?”
“Uhh… Well, the task-taker couple could enter the same task world, then enjoy an ordinary couple’s life,” said 2333.
“Ooh…” Ning Shu’s voice contained the same disdain. “This is the more elegant way of communicating affections you were talking about?”
