In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 196. One Body, Two Souls: Gu Yuhan

Seeing Zhu Ningyun's worried expression, Ziying couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stood up to ask, "Ningyun...Miss, is there something wrong with His Highness's health?"

Zhu Ningyun didn't speak, but glanced at Ziying expressionlessly, and then... handed over Gu Yuhan's wrist.

Zi Ying hurriedly grabbed Gu Yuhan's right wrist, channeled her soul power into it, and carefully examined her from the inside out. As a result... she also showed the same expression as Zhu Ningyun.

Immediately, Huo Yuhao couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly stood up, looked at Zhu Ningyun and Ziying in front of him, and asked anxiously, "Aunties, please say something! How is Yuhan's health?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ningyun and Ziying exchanged a glance, their faces filled with embarrassment.

After a moment of silence, Long Xiaoyao walked over and grabbed Gu Yuhan's wrist, becoming the third powerful figure with a worried expression after Zhu Ningyun and Zi Ying.

"One body, two souls—such a thing is rare indeed," Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim.

"What? One body, two souls?"

Gu Yuhan's eyes widened instantly, her gaze filled with disbelief. She had arrived in Douluo Continent through soul transmigration, which meant that the original soul was fighting her for control of the body?

Thinking of this, Gu Yuhan's face instantly darkened. Pointing at Ziying's nose, he ordered, "Aunt Zi, I... I order you to eliminate the other soul within me now, immediately, and do not give her the chance to seize control of my body from me."

Ignoring the presence of representatives from other factions, Gu Yuhan issued the order without hesitation; she would never allow outsiders to take her place in life!

"I'm sorry, my... lord, the orders I received were only to be loyal to your body. If your body is likened to imperial power, then we are the loyal subjects of that power. As for who sits on the throne, that is not within our consideration."

As she spoke, Ziying returned to her seat and began eating her unfinished boxed lunch, no longer glancing at Gu Yuhan's expression.

Gu Yuhan slammed her hand on the table angrily, saying, "You bastard, Ziying, how dare you disobey my orders! I, I order you... to kill yourself now, immediately! If you don't want to die, kneel down and crawl before me to beg for your life!"

"Before the formal transfer of imperial power is completed, apart from the necessary protection of your personal safety, I can refrain from doing anything else."

Zi Ying put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, and said meaningfully, "In this world, there may be many rules that cannot be violated, but these rules often contain some loopholes."

"Of course, you could force me to compromise by self-harming, but... heh, after dealing with you for so many years, I don't think... you have that kind of guts!"

After saying that, Ziying picked up her chopsticks again and continued to enjoy the food in front of her.

The soul masters who are sent by their own faction to serve as envoys to the Heavenly Soul Empire may not be particularly strong, but they are definitely smart enough.

For some reason, Zi Ying must be loyal to Gu Yuhan... oh no, it should be this body. Because this master is so unpopular, Zi Ying is becoming passive and uncooperative.

Everyone thought about it and agreed. Based on the existing intelligence, Gu Yuhan was very likely the true master of the Yunyu Empire. This empress, who was hiding behind the scenes, actually gave herself to Huo Yuhao, a simpleton.

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

In this dog-eat-dog world, there is no such thing as true love. All actions are for the sake of profit. Gu Yuhan, who has several Limit Douluos loyal to her, actually went to Huo Yuhao, who has many flaws except for a little bit of good luck. Hmph, it's absurd to even think about it.

Or perhaps... Gu Yu has some unspeakable secret?

No, if there really is some unspeakable reason, then how can Ziying's behavior be explained? Are the master and servant putting on a show here?

"Waiter, please bring me two more boxed meals. I want to take them back to my room to eat."

Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw... Zhu Ningyun put down the lunchbox in her hand and waved towards the waitress.

The waitress then came to her senses, quickly packed up two boxed meals, and respectfully handed them to Zhu Ningyu.

"Cheap sister, it's time to go. Why are you meddling in other people's business? No matter how good you are to her, if she dies, you won't get a single copper soul coin of her inheritance."

As she spoke, Zhu Ningyu shook the lunchbox in her hand and stormed out of the banquet hall.

Zhu Ningyun hurriedly chased after her, calling out as she ran, "Ningyu, wait for me, wait for me!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, feeling as if the filter of the once solemn and dignified housekeeper had shattered.

Now... all that's left is a sister-obsessed person who longs for the company of her family.

Because of the interruption by the sisters Zhu Ningyun and Zhu Ningyu, some perceptive people hurriedly left the banquet hall with their lunch boxes. What will become of Gu Yuhan, who has two souls in one body? How should the extra soul in her body be dealt with? And what does it have to do with them?

Soon, Long Xiaoyao also left. Ziying lay on the sofa in the banquet hall, flipping through the novel "I'd Rather Be a Demonic Concubine Who Brings Disaster to the Country Than a Cannon Fodder Supporting Character".

The seven members of the Tang Clan stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

"Damn it, damn it! The plot in the novel is all fake. Aren't they supposed to say that summoned characters are unconditionally loyal to their host? Why is this happening?"

Gu Yuhan seemed to have lost her mind, spouting words that the six members of the Tang Clan couldn't understand.

The group of six took it as a stress response caused by emotional fluctuations and did not take these crazy words to heart.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zi Ying, who was flipping through a storybook not far ahead, then gritted his teeth, grabbed Gu Yuhan's hand, and said with a gloomy expression, "Yuhan, since Aunt Zi Ying is unwilling to help you, then we'll find someone else. There are so many Limit Douluo powerhouses, surely someone will be willing to help us."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao, disregarding whether Gu Yuhan was willing or not, grabbed her wrist and strode out of the banquet hall.

The five members of the Tang Clan hurriedly followed.

As the elevator slowly ascended, the seven members of the Tang Clan arrived at the top floor.

Just as everyone left the elevator, Gu Yuhan rubbed her forehead in pain, then straightened up, glanced at Huo Yuhao beside her, and forced a smile, saying, "Yuhao, I'm tired, so I'm going back to my room to rest. You're my husband, and you can decide everything for me. Go ahead, do what you want to do."

After saying that, Gu Yuhan took out her room key, opened the door to her room, and went inside.
