"Auntie Qin, the little doll on little brother Hui's neck is indeed his younger sister. You were pregnant with two babies back then!" "This... how is this possible? I had so many prenatal check-ups, why wasn't it ever detected!" Upon hearing Yaoyao's explanation, Qin Mi immediately shook her head in denial. If it hadn't been detected once or twice, there might have been a chance of coincidence. But her pregnancy was confirmed only after the Gong family had sought examinations from three or four different hospitals. If she had really been pregnant with fraternal twins, how could it not have been discovered? Yaoyao continued, "That's because your little sister had already passed away before your check-ups." "By the time you found out you were pregnant, it had already been over three months!" And logically, when fetal development stops, the child's soul needs to return to the Underworld to queue for reincarnation. But because of her brother, who was also in the mother's womb, and his special constitution, by a twist of fate, he actually managed to retain the soul of the miscarried fetus. Thus, the two, one primary and one secondary, were born sharing one body. And before a child is one year old, they possess innate qi from the womb, which allowed the two to coexist, just as they had in their mother's body. However, after the age of one, this innate qi dissipates, and the primary control of the physical body returns to the older brother, as he is, after all, the primary soul. The secondary soul should have dissipated, as they were not a naturally stable dual-soul entity. But perhaps it was the telepathic connection between siblings; at the critical moment, the former actually made a concession with his soul-body. He relinquished most of his body's fortune and destiny to nourish his sister, who should have died, allowing her to continue to stay. After this ordeal, the siblings were able to see each other. So, don't be fooled by his usual quiet demeanor; it's not because he's naturally autistic, but because he's playing with his younger sister. But humans and ghosts ultimately walk different paths. Relying on good fortune for sustenance will eventually lead to a bad end for both. "You can even divine this?" Qin Mi was initially disbelieving, but upon hearing this, she instantly fell silent. Because it was indeed true. Her own menstrual cycle was irregular, and she had been very busy during that period, so she had put the matter out of her mind. If it hadn't been for a stomachache one time, which led her husband to take her for a check-up, she probably wouldn't have discovered her pregnancy. "I... I actually missed out on my daughter just like that!" Now that Qin Mi had accepted it, her eyes immediately reddened. She had always wanted a daughter, so she could buy her many beautiful little dresses and dress her up like a princess. However, her husband's fertility had always been lacking, or rather, the Gong family lineage, in general, was thin. For so many years, she hadn't been able to conceive again. But who knew that what she had longed for, she had actually possessed long ago, only she hadn't known. "Then what should we do now?" Qin Mi's head felt like it was about to split. Now, it truly was a situation where both palms and the backs of her hands were flesh. Letting the master take her daughter away – not only would her son be reluctant, but she herself would be too. But it was also impossible to let a deceased soul stay with her son. After all, from what the master implied, this would shorten her son's life. And for the sake of her deceased daughter, if it meant her son would also pass away prematurely, Qin Mi was naturally unwilling. No matter how it was handled, the situation couldn't be resolved perfectly for both sides. "Little brother's current state is very bad. If this drags on, once his fortune and destiny are exhausted, he might lose his little life!" Yaoyao also fell silent. This was the most troublesome problem she had encountered since coming down the mountain. It wasn't that she couldn't handle it, but the outcome was bound to be unsatisfactory. Qin Mi pursed her lips. She looked at her son, whose eyes were full of hope. No matter how difficult it was in her heart, she still had to make a decision. She said slowly, "Let's save Little Hui first. As for that child, can you let her stay in the human world for a few more days?" What she could do was, in these few days, take her to buy beautiful clothes, so she could leave the human world without regrets. And this request, Yaoyao was able to fulfill. She nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I can!" "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master. I will handle things with Little Hui. You just need to take action." Qin Mi said seriously, tears faintly glistening in her eyes. Their conversation was not private, so Gong Yuanhui naturally heard everything clearly. "No, don't! Don't touch my younger sister!" He was like an enraged lion. However, he could see his sister but couldn't touch her. Now, wanting to hold her in his arms and hide her was even more impossible. Seeing that his sister was about to be taken away, in his anxiety, he didn't know what he thought of, but he was seen muttering to himself. Qin Mi, who was beside him, couldn't hear clearly, but then she saw her son's face growing paler and paler. This was clearly a sign that something was wrong. She instantly panicked. "Master, this... what's happening!" When Yaoyao heard this and saw the situation, her expression also changed. This little brother was actually relinquishing control of his body! But how was this possible? He was just an ordinary person, how could he achieve this? However, now was clearly not the time to ponder this. If she didn't intervene soon, once this little brother gave up his body, something terrible would happen. Because his sister was not compatible with this physical body; the only reason she could continue to exist was because she was being nourished by the former. But if the former lost his physical body, then they would both become wandering, orphaned souls. Thus, Yaoyao acted decisively. She formed a sword mudra with her fingers and slashed towards the latter. With a "weng" sound, she directly severed the connection between the two soul-bodies. The constantly outflowing fortune and destiny, like a dammed river, instantly flowed back. The child couldn't bear it. After a 'wu' sound, he fainted and fell towards the ground. Fortunately, Qin Mi, who was beside him, had been paying close attention. Seeing the situation, she quickly caught him in her arms, thus preventing her son from risking a disfiguring injury. "Master, why did Little Hui faint? Will he be alright!" This happened too suddenly. Her face anxious, she questioned Yaoyao, afraid that something had happened to her son. Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Auntie Qin, it's alright. He was just too impulsive just now. It's better for him to be asleep!" When she said this, her tone was particularly serious. This little brother was truly too bold; he even dared to do something like abandoning his body. If he hadn't fainted, she was really afraid she wouldn't be able to control the situation.
