My Dao Companion Lied to Me Until I Died

When Lan Rongshi proposed that they become Dao companions, Pei Qing agreed at once, overjoyed.

Even though Lan Rongshi was dying, and even though the first thing he asked after Pei Qing said yes was for him to go die alongside him, nothing could cool Pei Qing's feverish head.

Pei Qing thought Heaven must have taken pity on him after more than a decade of loneliness, making Lan Rongshi fall for him and propose despite being blind and out of his mind.

Lan Rongshi had personally told him that he loved him and couldn't bear to be apart from him, so Pei Qing agreed without hesitation to let Lan Rongshi use his corpse to reinforce the seal.

Then Lan Rongshi was excavated, came back alive, and reinforced the seal.

Pei Qing: ...

Lying in his coffin, Pei Qing comforted himself with the thought that at least Lan Rongshi had once liked him. Then he heard Lan Rongshi admit it with his own lips: "I don't love him."

Pei Qing: ...

You can't bully someone like this!

Thoroughly disappointed in human nature, Pei Qing hadn't died after all, but didn't want to leave the coffin either. He lay there pretending to be a corpse, but some troublesome little thing kept making a racket in his mind, demanding to go out and take revenge.

The noise drove Pei Qing crazy. He clawed and clawed until he split apart.

So Pei Qing, who had angered himself into several pieces, crawled out, thinking that even as a ghost, he wouldn't let Lan Rongshi off.

Ever since repairing his Dao companion's grave, Lan Rongshi had noticed the other's ghost haunting him.

Lan Rongshi had broken his promise and tricked his beloved into dying, so he thought the ghost was a vengeful spirit come to claim his life. But when he finally managed to speak to his Dao companion's ghost, it turned out to be a lecherous ghost that kept him busy day and night.

Lan Rongshi had no choice. He knew he owed him a great deal, and the seal was holding, so he figured things would be fine once the ghost got tired of him.

But before that happened, he spotted a familiar shadow in one of his disciples. The face was different, but underneath the skin was surely his beloved Dao companion, who had died with his eyes open.

So here's the question: who was the ghost that practiced dual cultivation with him every day?

Before he could figure out which was which, another one showed up, shouting threats and kissing him!

Had his Dao companion split into multiple personalities?
