There was no surprise on Scarlett Jennings’ face, she just looked at him,
"That’s not what I want to know."
She said, "I want to know where the real Samuel Chalmers is."
Simon said, "That’s him."
"No, that’s not him."
Scarlett Jennings’ tone carried certainty, with an obstinacy even she hadn’t noticed in her eyes.
Simon seemed a bit helpless as he touched his nose, then as if pondering how to begin, he asked her,
"Have you read fantasy novels? Those Immortals after undergoing tribulations and returning to the Celestial Court, they still remember what happened during their trials, but those experiences, to them, are more like watching a movie of another person."
He said, "The experiences belonging to Samuel Chalmers, the Family Head of the Chalmers Family, are just a small part of his memories, no longer his entirety."
Scarlett Jennings was expressionless, "So you’re saying, I was just a tribulation he went through?"
That could be said.
This sentence quickly swirled in Simon’s throat after meeting Scarlett Jennings’ expressionless face, and he amended,
"Well, it can’t be said like that!"
He said, "The tribulation, that’s just a metaphor... You were never just a tribulation for him."
Though the Master never explicitly said it, he could sense it.
Scarlett Jennings was the first presence in that person’s millennia that he wanted to linger for.
"You know, unlike all the Demon Ghosts and creatures in the world, the Dragon Vein is the only existence that needs to sleep to accumulate power."
The National Protection Dragon Vein within Cathay also represents Cathay’s fortune.
Every time he sleeps, it’s to accumulate strength for future potential disasters.
The world often has impurities, representing disaster, misfortune, resentment, pain, so every few hundred years, the Dragon Vein will, in the form of the Vein Soul, descend into the world to cleanse the accumulated impurities.
He doesn’t undergo Reincarnation, his existence is just because he exists.
Samuel Chalmers is the Vein Soul.
"I don’t know what exactly went wrong in the middle that led to a connection different from the usual between you two. But I’m sure you are the first in a millennium to successfully make a contract with him."
The Dragon Vein cannot make contracts with anyone, yet she could.
Simon isn’t unaware of what Magnolia Hearne did.
But he doesn’t think that merely with a Peach Wood Mark confusing fated marriages, Magnolia Hearne could make that person successfully make a marriage contract with someone.
Perhaps there is indeed some reason involving Magnolia Hearne’s meddling, but it’s definitely not everything.
As for the rest of the reason, maybe only Samuel Chalmers himself knows.
"These things, he has never told me."
Scarlett Jennings’ voice lacked much emotion,
"Whether it’s his identity, or all that you just said, he never thought about telling me."
Simon sighed,
"It’s not that he doesn’t want to say, but he can’t say, it’s unspeakable."
Just like mortals shouldn’t easily call out the names of ghosts or gods.
For Samuel Chalmers, even though he has already awakened to his consciousness as a Dragon Vein, he can’t easily express this identity verbally. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Because as the Soulvein, he only awakened part of the consciousness of the Dragon Vein, once spoken, it would further awaken all the consciousness belonging to the Dragon Vein within him, when all consciousness awakens, the Vein Soul would automatically return to the main body.
"He probably just wants to accompany you a little longer."
If not for the fortune of Sea City being stolen, Simon believes that person would have been more willing to maintain the current situation, just like before, staying by her side until he inevitably had to leave.
