Lan Xi excitedly grabbed Ji Jiuying's hand, looking at her intently: "You're absolutely right! I like you so much, can you come here to keep me company often?"
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to nod, suddenly, the evil fire in the space let out a scream.
"Woman, something's wrong with her!"
"What?"
"Woman, use your soul power to probe her one more time."
"Use soul power to probe?" Ji Jiuying asked in confusion, while simultaneously gripping Lan Xi's hand.
Seeing Ji Jiuying suddenly become serious, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they looked at her anxiously. Even Lan Xi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"W-What's wrong?"
"Don't speak, don't resist!"
The evil fire also followed Ji Jiuying's soul power and probed towards Lanxi.
Lanxi sensed something strange intruding into her soul, and remembering what she had just said, she stopped resisting.
Ji Jiuying swept her soul technique across Lan Xi's soul, and the evil fire in the space widened its eyes in terror, crying out, "Woman, let go..."
Suddenly, a powerful force surged through Ji Jiuying's soul power and struck her mental sea.
Her face darkened, and before she could pull away, Ji Jiuying was forced to leave Lan Xi's side. Intense pain spread from the depths of her soul, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"cousin!"
"Ninth Girl!"
How are you?
Ji Jiuying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Lan Xi with a puzzled expression.
"Cousin, how are you? It wasn't me just now..." Lan Xi looked at Ji Jiuying with a worried expression and quickly explained.
Lan Mingyang, Lan Yu, and Lan Zhao looked at Ji Jiuying with suspicion: "Jiuying, what exactly is going on?"
"I know it wasn't you..." Ji Jiuying answered weakly. At this moment, her soul was throbbing with pain. She thought that she must have been injured by that power.
I'll explain later.
After saying that, Ji Jiuying sat down and sat down. Looking at her pale face, the group was very puzzled. Xi'er hadn't done anything, yet she had hurt her so badly. Could it be related to the fact that she couldn't be exposed to the sun?
"Mother, Mother, what's wrong!"
A red flame shot out from the void and landed in the courtyard. The group was on alert for a moment. Lan Zhao stared blankly at the red-haired girl in red clothes in front of him.
"Are you Little Phoenix?"
Little Phoenix nodded: "Lan Zhao, I can feel that Mother is injured. What happened?"
Lan Zhao explained to the group, "This is my cousin's contracted beast, Little Phoenix."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the group. This little girl seemed extraordinary, and from the moment she appeared, the spirit beasts in their sea of consciousness had been strongly suppressed. Could this be her divine beast?
These past few days, rumors about her possessing divine artifacts and mythical beasts have been circulating widely, and it seems they are not entirely unfounded.
Lan Zhao told Xiao Huang'er what had happened. Xiao Huang'er looked at Ji Jiu Ying with heartache, then sat behind her and transferred soul power to her.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying was meditating to nourish her soul while communicating with the evil fire in the space.
"Evil fire, what is going on? What is that power?"
As Ji Jiuying carefully recalled the situation, a black mist appeared deep within Lan Xi's soul, like a sinister and terrifying vengeful ghost, carrying endless resentment and evil, instantly making her feel terrified.
Her intuition told her that the cold, bone-chilling power she had just felt was emanating from the black mist.
“I just observed Lanxi carefully and found that she has an extremely Yin body. Another soul resides in her soul. Judging from the power just now, I guess that the other soul has become a vengeful spirit.”
"And this extremely yin body was born in the mother's womb."
Ji Jiuying frowned upon hearing this. An extremely Yin body? A vengeful spirit? No wonder she had felt a chill run down her spine just now.
"Is the 'extreme Yin body' what is known as a person born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour?"
"yes."
"What does it mean to be born in the womb?"
"To put it this way, if a person is born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour, and the mother is only carrying one child in the womb, then the person is just an ordinary yin person. But if there are two children, then one of them will devour the other and evolve into an extremely yin body."
"It's obvious that when Lanxi devoured the other one, she didn't completely devour it. That soul resided in her body and, as she grew, it became a vengeful spirit. It's normal for it to fear sunlight."
"Now that vengeful spirit has become one with Lanxi's soul, it's impossible to take it away. The only way is for her to find that vengeful spirit herself and devour it. If she doesn't let the vengeful spirit devour her soon, it won't be long before she is replaced by it!"
So that's how it is. But since this has never happened before, will they believe it?
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
"Mother, you're finally awake!"
"Girl, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine now, Little Phoenix, what brings you here?" Ji Jiuying asked.
“I sensed that my mother was hurt, so I came.”
You didn't tell my mother, did you?
Little Phoenix shook her head: "No."
Ji Jiuying was relieved and came to the group, saying seriously, "I have found out about Lanxi's illness. No, to be precise, it is not an illness."
The group was startled, their eyes widening as they looked at Ji Jiuying with suspicion.
"Cousin, are you saying that my fear of sunlight isn't an illness?" Lanxi asked curiously.
"yes."
Then Ji Jiuying looked at Lan Mingyang: "Uncle, let me ask you, Aunt was pregnant with twins, right? And when Lanxi was born, the other one was stillborn, am I right?"
Lan Mingyang and Lan Yu's pupils shrank, their upright figures trembling for a moment as they stared at Ji Jiuying in shock. Only a few people knew about this, how could she know? Only Lan Zhao and Lan Xi looked completely bewildered.
Lan Mingyang sighed softly. Since it concerned Xi'er's life, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
"Girl, you're right. It's exactly as you said. Xi'er's mother also died because of a difficult childbirth..."
At this point, Lan Mingyang paused, while Lan Zhao and Lan Xi's eyes flashed with shock. Their grandfather and father had said before that their mother had died of illness!
“Girl, but what does this have to do with Lanxi’s illness?” Lan Yu asked.
Ji Jiuying explained earnestly, "Lanxi has an extremely Yin constitution. The day my aunt gave birth to Lanxi happened to be a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin day. And the reason for having an extremely Yin constitution is because..."
Ji Jiuying recounted the events in detail, leaving everyone stunned and staring at her in disbelief. They had never seen or heard of such a thing: prenatally devouring each other, the victor living, the loser dying!
But what she said made perfect sense, and they couldn't find any reason not to believe her!
"Whether this matter is true or false, you will find out once you go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!"
The group remained silent, their faces filled with worry as they contemplated the thought of Xi'er being replaced by that vengeful spirit: "If it's true, how can we help Xi'er now?"
"Only she can save herself!"
