She Died… Then Something Else Took Her Body

“Alright, time to end you.”
Cai Xiaowei kicked Ouyang Tianqi, who was clinging to her leg, sending him flying.

“You bastard!
I won’t let you defile my sister’s body any longer.
Even if it means we both die, I don’t care.”
The remaining energy in Ouyang Tianqi’s body began to condense once more.

Cai Xiaowei glanced at him and smiled.
This Ouyang Tianqi actually wanted to fight back.

But as the energy gathered, she noticed something was wrong.
That energy was condensing into an indescribable, danger-filled inverted triangular energy body.
The energy body hovered above Ouyang Tianqi’s head, glowing with golden light, looking like a golden horn.

“What did you do?”
Cai Xiaowei stepped back a few paces.

“The Qilin Horn.
The Qilin’s ultimate technique.
A technique of mutual destruction!”
Ouyang Tianqi’s face was drained of color.

“I don’t know how powerful it really is, but you need to understand—this is your sister’s body!”
Cai Xiaowei backed down.

“I would rather destroy my sister’s body than let you defile it any longer.”
Ouyang Tianqi’s Qilin Horn continued to accumulate energy.

Then, something strange happened.
Cai Xiaowei suddenly collapsed to her knees, her expression twisted in pain.

Ouyang Tianqi did not relax at all.
He warily watched to see what Cai Xiaowei was up to.

Cai Xiaowei suddenly shouted, “Bastard, how are you fighting me for control of the body?!”
She truly couldn’t understand it.
She had successfully tricked Cai Xiaowei and sealed her away.
But now, why did Cai Xiaowei have the power to fight her for the body?
Human souls couldn’t possibly be stronger than hers.

Cai Xiaowei was still writhing in pain.
The wings on her back alternated between black and white.
Her eyes also changed, from pitch black to a normal human brown.

“Damn it, how is the soul of this body still here?
You two have actually joined forces against me.”
At that moment, in the dark space, the soul occupying the body had become blurred, its features indistinguishable.

“Give the body back to us.
You can’t win against both of us now.”
The two Cai Xiaoweis held hands and faced that soul.

“Neither of you two is an ordinary human.
Ordinary humans couldn’t have such powerful souls.”
The soul’s angry voice rang out.

The two Cai Xiaoweis said nothing.
They only intensified their fight for control of the body.

“Fine, you win.
I won’t give up.
One day, I will return.”
The soul suddenly withdrew its control over the body and vanished within it.

“Its soul has been injured by us.
It will sleep somewhere in the body.
I should also go to sleep now.”

“Are you really the Holy Maiden?”

“Yes.”

“Why did our fusion fail?”

“I’m not sure either.
All I can say is that you are not an ordinary person.
Originally, the reason I remained in this body was because the God King said that the Holy Maiden cannot die.
A great calamity awaits that only the Holy Maiden can resolve.
But I could no longer awaken the body.
I could only wait for the God King to send a soul that could awaken the body, and then fuse with that soul to resurrect the Holy Maiden.”

“Why can’t a new Holy Maiden be born?
Why does it have to be this body?”

“The Holy Maiden appears once every hundred years.
If she dies, she won’t appear again in that century.
For her to exist, the original body must be resurrected.”

“I can control this body by myself.
Why do we need to fuse?”

“You cannot unleash the Holy Maiden’s power.
Only I, the original soul, can do that.”

“So now that it’s failed, I’m still just a vase?”

“No.
Although the fusion ultimately failed, you have already absorbed part of my original source.
You can now use some of the Holy Maiden’s abilities.
When I wake up next time, I will find a way to let you fully absorb my original source.
I have to go now.”

“Don’t you want to see your younger brother?”

“I am already dead.
What use is seeing him?”
With that, the soul also vanished without a trace.

Cai Xiaowei opened her eyes again.
Her eyes had turned blue.
Her hair had turned golden.
Her wings reverted to their original form as huge white wings.

She slowly stood up and looked awkwardly at Ouyang Tianqi across from her.

Seeing Cai Xiaowei like this, Ouyang Tianqi immediately dispelled the Qilin Horn.
Because the Cai Xiaowei before him now looked exactly like his sister when she released the Holy Maiden’s energy and transformed.
That meant she was now truly his sister.

Although Ouyang Tianqi had withdrawn the Qilin Horn and was no longer in danger of dying, having his abilities drained from his body still left him feeling completely weak.

His face pale, he walked toward Cai Xiaowei.
Then he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

Cai Xiaowei quickly rushed over and caught him.

“Big sister!
Boo hoo, big sister!
Boo hoo, you’ve finally come back…”
Ouyang Tianqi suddenly hugged Cai Xiaowei like a child and burst into tears.

Cai Xiaowei was actually at the end of her strength as well.
The moment she caught Ouyang Tianqi, her transformation also ended.
Suddenly feeling completely drained, and with the 180-centimeter-something Ouyang Tianqi leaning on her, she lost her balance and fell backward.
Ouyang Tianqi fell right on top of her, pinning her down.

Ouyang Tianqi was crying his heart out and didn’t notice any of this.

“It hurts so much.
You’re so heavy.
Get up.
You’re crushing me.”
Cai Xiaowei’s whole body ached from the weight.

Ouyang Tianqi snapped out of it, quickly sat up, and then pulled Cai Xiaowei into his arms.

“What are you doing?”
Cai Xiaowei pushed Ouyang Tianqi away.

“Big sister, it’s me, Tianqi.
We haven’t seen each other for ten years.
Don’t you remember me?”
Ouyang Tianqi didn’t care why his sister had come back to life.
His mind had only one thought right now: he couldn’t lose his sister again.

“Stay away from me.
I am not your sister.”
Cai Xiaowei denied it.

Ouyang Tianqi was stunned for a moment.
Then his expression turned ice-cold.

“Then who are you?”
Ouyang Tianqi had now woken up.
If that previous soul could occupy his sister’s body, then it was possible that other such souls existed.

But then he remembered that the Holy Maiden transformation just now was something only his sister could do.
His heart was full of conflict.

Seeing Ouyang Tianqi’s murderous gaze, Cai Xiaowei shuddered.
“Don’t look at me like that.
It’s scary.”

Ouyang Tianqi’s gaze didn’t change.
If he hadn’t used up all his abilities, he probably would have come over and killed her already.

“Alright, fine.
What if I said I have amnesia?
Would you believe me?”
Cai Xiaowei quickly told a lie.
She decided to pretend to be his sister for now.
Better to avoid more trouble.

“So you don’t remember anything at all?”
Ouyang Tianqi was a bit suspicious.
