She kissed him and licked her lips. "I am greedy, Ethe. Super duper greedy. I want you for myself. If I have more souls, I can use them to possess a bird or an animal and become your Familiar myself. This art would split my soul into two pieces, and each would be my own consciousness. I want to train it. I will be your Familiar."
"I'd rather not have a Familiar than lose you," Ethan's reply this time was cold. "This conversation is heading nowhere. Come give me a kiss instead and drop the matter."
She didn't fall for the allure.
"Ethan, you are a fucking dumbass!"
Ethan didn't get it.
"If I practice this Secret Art and fail, so what?" she asked.
"So what?!" Ethan was nearly enraged.
"Nothing." Scarlett laughed. "Nothing would change for us. We don't have to cultivate differently. We are both ONE. Dao Partner Art makes us one. If I get crippled, you won't get crippled. You can still cultivate for both of us. If one of us cultivates, it is the same as both of us cultivating.
