"No, my head must be preserved!" Who would have thought that as soon as Cheng Xiaofan finished speaking, the two heads on Ye Shisan's neck simultaneously cried out hysterically.
"..." Faced with the strong reaction of the two heads, Cheng Xiaofan was stunned.
Didn't you just say that whatever I say, you'll listen to me!
How did you go back on your word in the blink of an eye?
However, upon further reflection, he couldn't really blame Old Ye.
His two heads were like brothers. Although they were on the same body, sometimes there were occasional discrepancies in their words and actions, which seemed to be within reason.
What's more!
The issue Cheng Xiaofan raised involved the survival of the two heads.
This was no longer a minor issue!
Cheng Xiaofan looked at Ye Shisan's two heads and said with a smile, "You both disagree?"
The left head shook its head: "I definitely disagree!"
The right head also shook its head: "I don't want to lose my head!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I can understand the thoughts of both of your heads. After all, you've been in this world for decades, and you've endured hardships to reach this point!"
"But have you considered this body? It's precisely because of your two heads that he's been discriminated against and even afraid to show himself to others!"
"Because of this, his mind has always been shadowed by an indelible gloom, preventing him from ever breaking through in his ancient martial arts cultivation!"
"I don't think you'd be happy to see this body always hiding in the shadows, would you?"
Cheng Xiaofan's words silenced the two heads.
The two heads looked at each other, their expressions appearing quite conflicted.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled slyly and continued, "If it were any other time, I wouldn't have this idea."
"Do you know why I suddenly had this thought today, to keep only one of your two heads?"
Swish! The eyes of the two heads turned to Cheng Xiaofan.
It was as if they were asking, why?
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "Because I discovered the presence of Phoenix Tail Flower here, and also the Moonlight Flower!"
"The appearance of these two flowers clearly indicates that heaven has given Ye Shisan an opportunity, and he can finally live as a man in front of the world!"
"You know I understand medicine, and my skill in refining pills is unmatched in this world!"
"As long as I can refine the Heavenly Will Pill, I can guarantee that the removal of one of your heads will be painless and will not cause any harm to Old Ye!"
"..." His words plunged the two heads into silence once more.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I've said all I have to say. I'll give you two hours to consider. I'll go pick some Phoenix Tail Flowers and Moonlight Flowers to refine some pills!"
With that, he stood up and walked out.
Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that Ye Shisan at this moment had lost his self, and all his consciousness was controlled by the thoughts of the two heads.
At this time, he could not use force against these two heads. He should even try to soften his tone as much as possible when speaking.
Otherwise!
If the two heads went berserk, they might destroy Ye Shisan.
This was a battle between emotion and reason.
The rational Ye Shisan would naturally obey Cheng Xiaofan.
The problem was that emotions were easily impulsive and often beyond the control of reason.
Moreover, this involved the life and death of one of the heads!
At this moment!
Cheng Xiaofan, holding some fresh flowers, appeared in a room on the third floor of the bamboo villa.
This room, which he had designated as his and his goddess's living space when he came to White Python Lake, was now where he was.
The bed and all the furniture in the room were made of golden bamboo.
Upon entering this room, Cheng Xiaofan immediately entered the Shennong Space.
Regarding the refinement of the Heavenly Will Pill, the Shennong Sutra had a complete theory and manufacturing process, so he didn't need to worry much.
As for other ingredients, they were all planted in the space.
As long as he utilized the power of the space well, he could simply copy and paste according to these theories and operating procedures.
Cheng Xiaofan sat cross-legged on the ground, placing the Phoenix Tail Flowers and Moonlight Flowers before him. He closed his eyes slightly, entering a state of "Embracing the Origin and Guarding the One."
Immediately, centered on him, the power of the space transformed into a giant vortex, spinning continuously.
The Phoenix Tail Flowers and Moonlight Flowers on the ground were quickly absorbed into the vortex.
After nearly an hour.
Clinking sounds!
Twenty-four golden Heavenly Will Pills, like a cascade of pearls and jade, landed on a plate before Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan opened his eyes, picked up a Heavenly Will Pill, and sniffed it.
Wow!
So fragrant!
He immediately took out a bottle, put the twenty-four Heavenly Will Pills into it, and sealed the cap.
After resting in the space for about two hours, Cheng Xiaofan finally left the space and went downstairs.
As soon as he walked into Ye Shisan's room, he saw Ye Shisan shoveling food into the mouths of both heads with both hands.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup, and also offered it to the mouths of both heads.
Both mouths ate and drank incessantly, and they didn't forget to talk to each other.
"Brother, eat!"
"Little brother, you drink too!"
"This is the last meal we'll eat and drink together, don't be polite!"
"Brothers, how can I be polite!"
"Come, let's toast for this body!"
"Good, I'll drink first as a toast!"
"To drink and sing, how long is life?"
"Like morning dew, the past days were too short."
"To be full of spirit, worries are hard to forget."
"How to dispel worries? Only Du Kang."
The scene looked quite comical but was not without its tragic grandeur.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately understood that both heads had come to terms with it.
"Mr. Cheng, you're here?"
"Mr. Cheng, please sit!"
When the two heads saw Cheng Xiaofan, they immediately stopped reciting Cao Cao's poems and greeted him together.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled at them and said, "How, have you both made up your minds?"
"We have!" the two heads said in unison.
The left head said, "Mr. Cheng, I am the elder brother, cut off my head!"
"No, Mr. Cheng, don't listen to him, you should cut mine off!" the right head immediately said.
The left head said, "I am the elder brother, you must listen to me!"
The right head pouted and said, "I heard we were born by cesarean section, and both heads came out at the same time."
"On what basis do you claim to be the elder brother?"
The left head chuckled, "Because I'm on the left, it's called the left being elder and the right being younger. You even called me brother when we were drinking just now."
"Wasn't what I said the truth?"
Cheng Xiaofan watched them argue heatedly, and he was deeply moved. In this world, brothers were indeed the closest.
"Don't argue anymore. I think we should use drawing lots to decide who lives and who dies!"
