# Chapter 1683: Awakening! (Bonus Chapter)
The Rainforest Maze had to be entered. Just staying outside wouldn't accomplish anything!
But they couldn't just charge in blindly either, not knowing anything, not even knowing what the Spirit-Sealing Spell Array was!
Entering recklessly would only be like a headless fly bumping around randomly!
Xiong Er couldn't wait any longer, and even wanted to rush into the rainforest right now!
"So what are we still missing?"
Jiang Nan grinned slyly: (˶‾᷄⁻̫‾᷅˵) "Information! Crucial information. Looks like we have to find a way to catch a Vivian!"
As the person in charge of the Rainforest line, Vivian must know everything clearly!
But Vivian had been caught once by Jiang Nan in the Western Frontier through a clone, and had been toyed with!
By now, she had fully evolved and wasn't so easy to deal with!
She would definitely be on guard, preferring death over falling into Jiang Nan's hands!
It seemed they needed to come up with some plan to catch one!
Jiang Nan's little brain started turning again...

At the Qinggua Town Meeting Hall!
Bracelet Wei, Hairpin Wei, Ruiya Xiangzhi, and Corgi were all present!
On the meeting table sat a phone, from which came Igor's furious roar!
"What the hell have you done? Isn't the commotion big enough already? What was that red giant six-flash about?"
"With all those resources at hand, and Ruiya there too, you can't even handle Jiang Nan?"
Bracelet Wei shrank her neck, inwardly grumbling!
Didn't you also fail to handle him?
But on the surface, she still explained:
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "It's because Jiang Nan used..."
Igor snapped angrily: "I don't want to hear your excuses! I've created such a good environment for you, with all of Blue Star's Dao Heaven cultivators hiding away!"
"Now this is the final push, and I don't want any accidents at this step!"
"I'll give you one last half month. You must get it done, or every single one of you... will die!"
"Du du du—"
With that, he hung up the phone, and the meeting hall fell into absolute silence, everyone's face filled with gloom.
Only Corgi's gaze kept shifting between Bracelet Wei and Hairpin Wei, his face full of infatuation!
(ૢ⁼̴ᴥ⁼̴)
Two Sister Weis sitting right in front of him, and they looked different too!
Was there anything more blissful than this in the world?
Even if it cost his life, he had to win Sister Wei's hand!
Then he would surely be the man with the most happiness on Blue Star!
Hairpin Wei frowned: (๑･᷄～･᷅) "That was a death order. What now?"
If they couldn't handle it, everyone would die!
Xiangzhi rubbed her hair. Could things get any harder for me?
Other people at Starlight level were already enjoying life, so why was she facing more and more life-threatening danger?
Bracelet Wei gritted her teeth and looked at Ruiya: "There's no other choice now. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore. We have to get personally involved!"
Ruiya also sighed:
(◞‸◟) "Sigh... I guess we have to go into the maze ourselves and take our chances!"
If she could avoid it, Ruiya would never want to enter the Rainforest Maze!
After all, the original Ancient Holy Star had used great measures to prevent Jiang Fan from being unsealed, leaving no escape route. Even the Bose Body had no advantage entering!
Otherwise, why would they have been fiddling around for so long?
Bracelet Wei's expression turned fierce: "Mobilize all forces in this area. Send everyone into the Rainforest Maze to explore!"
"The more people enter, the greater the chance!"
Hairpin Wei frowned: "That won't be easy to pull off, will it? Top-level strongmen won't want to risk entering the maze..."
Before she could finish, Hairpin Wei and Bracelet Wei both froze, a smile curling at the corners of their mouths as they spoke in unison:
"We have a way! Heaven really is helping us!" ×2
At that moment, both their eyes sparkled brightly. They had clearly sensed something!
Hairpin Wei changed the subject: "What about Jiang Nan and his group..."
Bracelet Wei gritted her teeth: (ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "I'll enter the maze with Ruiya, Sen Luo, and the others to oversee operations!"
"As for Jiang Nan, we should try to keep him out of the maze as much as possible. He has too many tricks!"
"Even though he'll be trapped once he enters the maze, there's no telling if he might hinder our plans!"
"So to be safe, we need to delay him outside as long as possible. Only let him in if absolutely necessary!"
Hairpin Wei nodded: "Makes sense. Jiang Nan is too resourceful. Too many unpredictable factors if he enters the maze!"
"But how do we delay him? We..."
At this, Bracelet Wei's gaze fell on Hairpin Wei!
A smile curled at the corner of her mouth!
(￢◡￢) "That's where you come in! Once we're inside, you need to use all remaining resources, think of every way to stall Jiang Nan!"
"Confuse him, divert his attention, even spread false information—do whatever it takes. Spare no expense to hold him back!"
"If necessary, dying doesn't matter. Just remember, don't let any single Wei fall into Jiang Nan's hands!"
Hairpin Wei froze, then her gaze dimmed. Easy for her to say!
How could she stall him? She absolutely couldn't outplay Jiang Nan!
He would toy with her to death!
In truth, she was meant to be sacrificed to slow Jiang Nan's entry into the maze!
She... had been abandoned, hadn't she?
Hairpin Wei bit her lower lip: "C-Can't I enter the maze instead? You stall Jiang Nan? I've been handling the matter of pulling out the stakes all along!"
"I'm most familiar with the Rainforest Maze. It would be more appropriate if I..."
Before Hairpin Wei could finish, Bracelet Wei's small hand touched her cheek, a light laugh on her lips!
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Silly! What you know, I know too, right? You're me. Isn't entering the maze the same no matter which one of us goes?"
But Hairpin Wei still wanted to struggle!
"But your level is higher than mine. If you stay outside, you'll put more pressure on Jiang Nan and buy more time. You should stay outside!"
However, Bracelet Wei's expression gradually turned cold!
(ꐦ￢_￢) "What's this 'you' and 'me'? What? Are you trying to defy the orders of the superior Wei? Don't forget, you're my clone!"
"I decide how you should be! Otherwise, I'll destroy you and make another one!"
Hairpin Wei bit her lower lip tightly, her expression darkening: "N-No, I'm not defying the superior Wei. I just thought that would be more suitable. It was just a suggestion..."
"I... I'll stay!"
Bracelet Wei smiled and stroked Hairpin Wei's cheek!
"That's right. Everything is for the benefit of the original. I too am a clone who must obey the commands of the superior Wei!"
"All selves are the self. Disappearance is not the end, but a new beginning!"
Hairpin Wei smiled brightly: "Mm-hmm, I understand. Then I'll go work on the plan to stall Jiang Nan. You handle Sen Luo's side?"
Bracelet Wei laughed: "Very good!"
Both rose from their seats at the same time, walking left and right in opposite directions!
Watching Bracelet Wei and Hairpin Wei, Corgi's head whipped back and forth!
Σ(ﾟДﾟ；≡；ﾟдﾟ)
Who... who should he fawn over?
Then with a fierce expression, he ran toward Hairpin Wei. Better stick with this Sister Wei and just keep licking one!
No one noticed that the moment Hairpin Wei turned around, the smile on her face had already disappeared!
Xiangzhi lay on the table, staring blankly at Hairpin Wei and Bracelet Wei!
(๑◔～◔ิ๑) "She's really something. Even clones argue with each other? They're all the same her, what's there to argue about?"
Ruiya turned her head: "You stay in the mountain city to help Vivian!"
Xiangzhi shuddered: (☍﹏⁰。) "No, no! I don't want to! I want to enter the maze! I refuse to go head-to-head with Jiang Nan! I..."
But Ruiya had already vanished!
Xiangzhi: (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) I'm done for...

In the room!
Hairpin Wei sat in front of the dressing mirror, staring blankly at herself in the mirror!
Her gaze flickered!
All selves are the self?
Was that really true? If she died, would she still exist?
She had been born less than a year ago and had never left the mountain city. All her initial memories weren't her memories!
They had been planted in her mind from the beginning, not experiences she lived through.
She had only been Hairpin Wei for a year. If she died, would these memories still exist?
Would the original find them unnecessary, delete the useless ones, and keep only useful information?
If that happened, would Hairpin Wei have truly existed?
At this moment, Hairpin Wei lowered her head to look at the lipstick, eyeshadow, handbags, and various small accessories on the dressing table!
All gifts that Corgi had given her during this time...
She clearly remembered everything that had happened during the year she existed.
And the golden hairpin on her head was her favorite!
If she was gone, would Corgi go and be nice to another Wei instead?
To him, after all, all Weis were just Wei...
Thinking about it, Hairpin Wei's eyes suddenly widened. She slapped her cheeks hard!
Her face full of shock!
How could she have such a dangerous thought? Good thing Bracelet Wei hadn't retrieved information during this period, otherwise...
Hairpin Wei forced herself not to think about it, but the more she tried, the more she couldn't help it!
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, a knock came at the door!
Hairpin Wei sighed helplessly: "Come in!"
The door opened, and Corgi poked his head in, carrying a bag of breakfast!
ʕ̢·͡˔·| "Sister Wei! I've put your breakfast here! I've already blown on the soy milk to cool it, so you can drink it without burning your mouth!"
"I've prepared the dipping sauce for the buns—added extra vinegar! Don't be upset anymore, okay?"
He was about to leave the room, knowing that if he stayed any longer, Sister Wei would scold him!
But this time, Hairpin Wei surprisingly didn't scold Corgi. Instead, she stared blankly at the breakfast!
Over the past year, ever since Corgi arrived, he had been bringing her breakfast every day, rain or shine...
Hairpin Wei asked: (*･᷄-･᷅) "Did you... give breakfast to Bracelet Wei too?"
Corgi was stunned: (•︠ᴥ•︡) "No? Should... should I prepare a serving for her too?"
Hairpin Wei shook her head, a slight curve seeming to appear at the corner of her mouth: "No need. She doesn't eat breakfast!"
"Let me ask you—am I special to you?"
Corgi swallowed his saliva, his heart racing with excitement. Was this finally happening?
"Yes! Just like snowflakes in the world—though all are snow, each flake is unique. And to me, you are my one and only!"
Hairpin Wei was startled, staring blankly. Unique snowflakes?
"How did you know I was upset?"
Corgi wiped his nose: "I just... felt like you weren't happy!"
No shit! As a simp, if I couldn't read people's faces, what kind of simp would I be? This was engraved in my DNA!
Hairpin Wei took a deep breath: "If I died, would you be sad?"
Corgi's expression turned fierce: "Who cares who it is? If anyone dares to touch my heart's treasure, I'll make them bleed three feet!"
Hairpin Wei's gaze flickered: "What... what if it was Bracelet Wei who died?"
Corgi was stunned. Oh ho? I get it—this must be that damn competitive nature of women!
Without further ado, he would focus on pleasing the one in front of him first!
"I might be sad too, but definitely not as sad as losing you! This past year, I've been hanging out with you the whole time. I haven't had much contact with Bracelet Wei. I..."
Hairpin Wei broke into a radiant smile!
"Come in. Lock the door!"
Corgi: !!!
Ahhh—did I succeed? This is it?
All my persistent efforts have finally paid off!
So he quickly locked the door, looking at Hairpin Wei with eager anticipation!
But Hairpin Wei's smile vanished, her expression turning fierce!
I, Hairpin Wei, am not Vivian! I am unique. No one can replace me. I am myself!
"I want you to do something for me. No one must know—not even the other Weis. Only you and I!"
"I want you to be loyal to me! Can you do that?"
Corgi was stunned. Huh? This wasn't what he had imagined!
But still, he hurried over to Hairpin Wei, dropping to one knee with a look of deep affection!
(︶ᴥ︶๐) "Your loyal hound! Ready to serve you at any time!"
