Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 357 Heavenly Master 64

Shuangshuang looked at the other person, who was once again in a hysterical state, utterly devastated, and sighed lightly, "Don’t laugh anymore, who says you’re not life and shouldn’t exist?"

Xi Lan’s obsessive laughter was cut short! She raised her head dumbfoundedly, looking at Shuangshuang, her face stained with tears, but her eyes held a faint hope, "You say that I am alive? And should exist in this world too? But I’m neither human nor ghost, what exactly am I?"

Shuangshuang walked up to Xi Lan’s obsession, helping her up, and softened her tone as much as possible: "You are not Xi Lan, not Duan Tong, neither human nor ghost, because you are a demon, a demon born out of Xi Lan’s obsession!"

"Demon?" Xi Lan’s obsession repeated Shuangshuang’s words foolishly, full of bewilderment and confusion!

"That’s right, you are a demon; you were born from Xi Lan’s resentment, unwillingness, and fear, a demon formed by her obsession!"

Shuangshuang patiently explained to the bewildered Xi Lan’s obsession, "If Xi Lan hadn’t reincarnated, in time, you should have become Xi Lan’s Heart Demon. But Xi Lan left, yet her body, made into a human-shaped pottery, remained as your dwelling place. At that time, you had no awareness of your own, just a vague obsession that should have dissipated quickly."

"It was a fortuitous convergence that you became a demon. Although Xi Lan was gone, around you, there were still lingering strong resentful energies from Chunhua, Qiushi, and Chao Yan, which you absorbed, gradually forming your consciousness. You began to instinctively take Xi Lan’s human-shaped pottery as your own body for cultivation. Without Duan Tong’s intrusion, you would soon have fused with the human-shaped pottery, fully awakening as a demon. But now, before you could complete your cultivation, you were drawn away by Xi Lan’s reincarnation, attaching to her, causing your memory and demon nature to be interrupted before forming, leading to the confusion of thinking yourself as Xi Lan, as Duan Tong, Xi Lan’s reincarnation."

At this point, Shuangshuang hesitated strangely before continuing, "Actually, to explain it truly, you appeared because of Xi Lan and are drawn to Xi Lan’s reincarnation, Duan Tong, because her soul feels familiar, safe, and warm to you. Since Duan Tong’s soul nurtured you, it’s akin to the feeling between a mother and her child. When you entered Duan Tong’s body, her soul instinctively did not attack you, and you merely entwined with her soul without intending to harm it. Truly speaking, you could be considered Xi Lan’s or Duan Tong’s child, a relationship similar to mother and child!"

Upon hearing Shuangshuang’s explanation, the crowd who had just been listening raptly with amazement abruptly stiffened in their expressions! Momenan and Duan Chenghai exchanged glances, looking at Duan Tong’s youthful face, with a peculiar feeling—was this a child from a previous life coming to find them in this life?

The most complex feelings were likely for Duan Ze and Miao Ying. It felt quite odd to suddenly have a granddaughter, yet truly wonderful!

Their faces showed subtle nuances, but it must be said that regarding this demon of obsession, born from their daughter’s soul, the two of them, who had initially felt some pity for her, now inexplicably felt some affection and tenderness towards her!

No matter what others thought, Xi Lan’s obsession showed a sense of relief on her face. She mumbled to herself, "It turns out, even though I’m not Xi Lan, not Duan Tong, I do have life, I am a demon, a demon born of obsession!"

After murmuring a few sentences, Xi Lan’s obsession wiped her tears, donned a relieved smile, stood up, and said to Shuangshuang, "Master, since I am not Duan Tong’s former self, please separate me from Duan Tong’s body. As you said before, my soul and Duan Tong’s are entwined tightly and cannot be separated, and I cannot detach myself, so I entrust this to you!"

Shuangshuang’s extensive trip around the Ancient Tomb was initially intended to forcibly separate the demon of obsession from Xi Lan’s human-shaped pottery. Now that the other voluntarily took the initiative, it spared Shuangshuang a lot of trouble.

With Xi Lan’s obsession willing to separate, Shuangshuang found it easier to detach her from Duan Tong’s soul, merely needing to use her mana to infiltrate Duan Tong’s body and awaken Duan Tong’s suppressed soul.

A single body cannot house two souls. Once Duan Tong awoke, her body would automatically expel the excess soul. As long as Xi Lan’s obsession did not attack Duan Tong’s soul during this time and continued trying to seize control of Duan Tong’s body, Shuangshuang could easily remove Xi Lan’s obsession.

As soon as Xi Lan’s obsession was detached, Duan Tong’s body went limp, closed her eyes, and fell straight to the ground! Fortunately, Duan Ze and Miao Ying were closely watching their daughter; Duan Tong’s body was caught before it hit the floor.

Supported, Duan Tong shook her head, furrowing her brows as she slowly opened her eyes, her expression still somewhat dazed for a moment. It took quite a while for the confusion in her eyes to clear!

The awakened Duan Tong looked excitedly at her parents, tears uncontrollably welling in her eyes as she choked out, "Dad, Mom!"

Though it was just a simple cry of Dad and Mom, that familiar posture and tone instantly assured Duan Ze and Miao Ying—this was indeed their precious daughter, Duan Tong! No doubt about it!

Both of them choked up, responding affirmatively before the three of them embraced joyously, grateful that Duan Tong was finally back to normal.

While the trio seemed as if they were reunited after a long separation, filled with affection, Shuangshuang was observing Xi Lan’s obsession, which she had removed from Duan Tong’s body.

Xi Lan’s obsession appeared much like a normal person, devoid of the thin transparency typical of soul bodies, resembling a true human with flesh and blood, just smaller. She was only the size of a thumb, and her entire attire was crimson, the same color as the resentful energy previously entwined around Duan Tong’s soul!

In fact, when Xi Lan was within Duan Tong’s body, she manifested as her original form, a red obsessional resentful energy, the eerie red energy Shuangshuang previously observed within Duan Tong, which was Xi Lan’s true form.

Now, this appearance was a manifestation of Xi Lan’s obsession, naturally in Xi Lan’s original likeness. Since she was an obsession split from Xi Lan’s soul, it was only natural that she favored resembling her original self, Xi Lan.

Shuangshuang looked at the separated, thumb-sized, delicate little figure standing on her palm and asked her, "What do you plan to do? Will you follow me in the future, or continue to cultivate inside the human-shaped pottery?"
