Madam Bai had heard Kong Qing say before that her son Bai Fujun had another person inside him, and now that Yuan Qi said the same thing, the last bit of doubt in her heart vanished.

Now that suspicion had turned into certainty, she helplessly wiped away her tears: "Seventh Miss, since you can see it, you must have a way to get rid of the other person, right?"

Yuan Qi nodded slightly, his hand gripping the teacup as he pondered how to get the other person out.

She noticed that Bai Fujun was acting strangely; she was completely still, her fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes had turned fierce.

Madam Bai noticed this as well. She stood up, approached her son, and asked with concern, "Is he going to come out again...?"

Yuan Qi pulled her back, saying, "Madam, don't worry, let me take a look."

Madam Bai clenched her hands together, staring at her son with worry.

Bai Fujun's expression turned ferocious. She tilted her head this way and that way, her movements eerie and ghostly.

Madam Bai asked, "What's going on? Please take a look."

Yuan Qi pulled Madam Bai down to sit and reassured her, "Don't panic, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Bai Fujun suddenly changed his expression, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Yuan Qi, pleading, "I don't want to die, don't pull me out, Celestial Master, I beg you, I am Bai Fujun's twin brother, I don't even have a name, I'm already pitiful enough."

This wasn't the first time Madam Bai had seen the person inside her son's body. In the past, she only felt fear and apprehension, but now that this person claimed to be Bai Fujun's twin brother, wasn't this her other child who hadn't been born yet?

A wave of heartache washed over her. Madam Bai went over, helped him up, and took his hand, asking, "Are you really my other son? Why didn't you say so before?"

"You all treat me like an evil spirit. Even if I tell you, you won't believe me, Mother. I don't want to die. I swear I'll stay in my brother's body and I won't cause any more trouble. Please don't pull me out, okay? My soul is incomplete. If you pull me out, I'll only die. I won't even be able to enter the underworld."

Bai Fujun seemed like a different person, weeping bitterly, all traces of her refined demeanor gone.

"No!" Old Master Bai pushed open the door and walked over with a cold expression. He looked down at the two people who were crying and hugging each other and said, "We can't let the hope of a family be ruined because of someone who was born without the ability! Seventh Miss, pull him out!"

Madam Bai knelt down and pleaded, "Father, please spare his life."

Yuan Qi didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so he simply sat down to drink tea and waited for the Bai family to resolve it themselves.

Old Master Bai firmly disagreed. He sat in his armchair, his face grim: "No, there are already bad rumors about Fujun's illness. The situation is very unfavorable for him. He is the hope of our Bai family. Eldest daughter-in-law, you cannot ruin our Bai family's hope because of your womanly compassion. He will participate in the imperial examination next year. With his talent, passing the first-class examination is no problem at all. If the problem is not resolved by then, and Fujun has an attack outside, or like now, has an attack during the day and people see it, our Bai family will be completely finished."

Old Master Bai was also the patriarch of the Bai clan and held great prestige within the family. Madam Bai dared not disobey him and could only look at Yuan Qi: "Seventh Miss, do you have a way to satisfy both sides? How about this: take him out and put him on my body. I am willing to let him use my body."

Yuan Qi shook his head and sighed softly: "Madam, it's already a miracle that he can share a body with Bai Fujun. This is probably because they are twins with a very high degree of similarity and a high degree of soul compatibility. He couldn't survive in any other body. Another possibility is that half of Bai Fujun's body belongs to him, which is why he has been able to coexist with Bai Fujun for so many years."

Madam Bai was heartbroken. She had just learned that she had another son, and now she was about to lose him. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Isn't there any way to keep him? I beg you, Miss Seven, I'll give you any amount of money as long as you can keep my son."

Yuan Qi wasn't tempted by the money; she felt that a mother's deep love for her son would be unbearable, and she couldn't bear to lose him.

She took out a green jade bottle from her cloth bag: "Please don't be sad. This is a magical artifact I've nurtured. It was originally intended to temporarily store a soul. Since he can't survive elsewhere, let him stay here for now. This artifact can also nurture a weak soul; I call it the Soul-Nurturing Bottle. However, he only has one soul and one spirit, so even if it's nurtured for a long time, it still won't be able to integrate with his physical body. Madam, you'd better understand this."

Bai Fujun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Grandfather, Mother, I am willing to let my younger brother share a body with me. I will control the body during the day, and he will control the body at night."

Old Master Bai was a little angry: "Nonsense! Did you already know who he was all along?"

Bai Fujun denied it: "No, I only found out just now. But I know he meant me no harm. The reason he came out at night was just to see the beauty of this world. He hasn't done anything wrong. Grandfather, please spare his life."

Old Master Bai snorted: "People are never satisfied. Right now, he wants to live an upright life in this world. As time goes on, he will want to take over your entire life. We must not be soft-hearted. Seventh Miss, just do it. As long as you get rid of him, you can let him go wherever he wants. Whether he disappears into the world, enters the underworld, or lives in this soul-nourishing bottle, I don't care. Just leave the family heir I have chosen."

Madam Bai was already very grateful that the child had a chance to live, and she knelt down to thank Old Master Bai.

Yuan Qi made Bai Fujun sit up straight. She waved her sleeve and used her spiritual power to scan his soul. Sure enough, while others had three souls and seven spirits, he had an extra soul and spirit.

Without Yuan Qi having to manually extract the extra soul and spirit, the soul and spirit floated out on their own, turning into a wisp of smoke and flying into the Soul Nourishing Bottle.

The Soul-Nourishing Bottle glowed briefly and then went out. Yuan Qi sealed it with a specially made stopper and handed it to Madam Bai: "Take good care of it. Don't let it break. If the bottle breaks, he will vanish into thin air."

Madam Bai accepted the Soul-Nourishing Bottle: "I understand, thank you, Seventh Miss."

Bai Fujun stood up, looked down at herself, and turned around. She said somewhat sadly, "I feel much more relaxed, and my mind feels sharper."

Old Master Bai took a deep look at the Soul-Nourishing Bottle, then asked Yuan Qi, "This Soul-Nourishing Bottle can strengthen the soul. Will he come back to possess my body in the future?"

Yuan Qi smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, please rest assured. This Soul Nourishing Bottle is not powerful enough to reach that level. It can only ensure that his soul does not dissipate, but it will not grant him spiritual power. It is basically impossible for him to possess another body. One soul and one spirit are too weak. He can't do anything except talk to the First Madam."
