After hearing Su Yang call her na, Xu Xuan transford back to her human form, becoming the ethereal beauty of the Autumn Phantom Manor.
Upon confirming her identity, Su Yang released a sigh of relief and said, "This isn't good for my heart, Xu Xuan."
"And whatever you're doing is good for the heart?" she sneered.
"I have my reasons for doing so… I'll explain it to you in a bit, but first… you were that kitten I found at the Fleeting Sword Sect? Why didn't you tell before?"
"I didn't feel like it." Xu Xuan shrugged.
"Was our second eting a coincidence, or did you make it seem like one?" Su Yang continued inquiring with a gentle smile on his face.
The next ti he t Xu Xuan, she was already in her human form, and she never ntioned their past until today.
"Who knows." Xu Xuan shrugged.
"Anyway, you better have a good explanation for why you're still alive and pretending to be a disciple of the Boundless Yin Yang Sect."
She pointed at him with an angry expression. "I am not pretending to be a disciple, though. I am a genuine disciple who joined with the Yin Yang Badge of Acceptance. As for why I am still alive, it's because I reincarnated after my death." "You reincarnated…? And how long has it been since your return?"
"About two decades ago, I guess. However, I didn't reincarnate within the Four Divine Heavens but sowhere else—sowhere far away that I still have no idea its exact location."
"I'll explain the whole story to you, but can we do it sowhere more suitable?"
In response to his request, Xu Xuan snapped her fingers, and the entire world around them transford. In the blink of an eye, Su Yang found himself standing before a humble house on a lonely, desolate star, the vast emptiness of the cosmos stretching out in all directions.
"Where are we?" he asked out of curiosity.
He thought she had brought him inside her spatial device, but that no longer seed to be the case.
"Sowhere far from the Four Divine Heavens, where no one can intrude or spy on us. Here, you can relax and remove your disguise…unless you're telling that's your new appearance after reincarnation?" Xu Xuan said, her voice tinged with curiosity.
"No, this is just a disguise." Su Yang removed his disguise, revealing to her his much superior, handso face.
"..." Xu Xuan appeared to be astonished by his appearance.
"Y-you… you look just like when you found at the Fleeting Sword Sect—young and innocent."
"I'll take that as a complint." Su Yang smiled.
Once they were seated, Su Yang began recalling his experience after his reincarnation.
anwhile, Xiao Rong, who was sitting on Su Yang's lap in her beast form, stared at Xu Xuan's face without blinking. For so reason, even though she didn't recognize Xu Xuan, she sensed a nostalgic feeling coming from Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan noticed Xiao Rong's intense glares and would occasionally give her a brief glance, even smiling at her.
Soti later, after listening to Su Yang's whole story, Xu Xuan nodded, "I understand your situation now, but I still have a lot of questions. Who was that old man who 'killed' then reincarnated you? What happened to your original body?"
"I don't know anything about that old man, but I visited you for two reasons. First, I wanted to see if you knew anything about my original body since your ability to track things is second to none. Secondly, I wanted to see if you knew anything about Xiao Rong's origin as a fellow Phantom Cat. You heard from the kittens that she's lost her mories, right?"
Xu Xuan pondered for a mont before responding, "I know your original body was stolen during the funeral, and I already tried looking for it, but sothing else ca up midway, so I had to put that on hold until I sorted out my own problem."
"Even soone as exalted as you have problems? What happened?" Su Yang asked with a slightly surprised face.
"A family mber of mine suddenly went missing, so I went to look for her," she said.
"The little kittens you have at the Autumn Phantom Manor? One of them is missing?" Su Yang asked.
"No, they're all there. And although they're also family, the family I am talking about is blood-related."
Su Yang was surprised to hear this since he always thought she had no family mbers.
"Anyway, I don't need to find her anymore because I have already found her, so I'll start looking for your original body seriously now."
"I see… thank you." Su Yang didn't put too much thought into Xu Xuan's words since it was already resolved.
However, Xu Xuan was not finished speaking and continued, "As for Xiao Rong, I know her origin. In fact, I know her quite well."
"Really? You're not ssing with ?" Su Yang had hoped for this outco, but he wasn't too hopeful.
She nodded and said, "Well, she's my sister, after all."
Su Yang imdiately raised his eyebrows at her words.
"What…? Xiao Rong is your sister? How—"
Before he could even finish his sentence, Xu Xuan confird, "That's right, the Phantom Cat on your lap is my sister—my twin sister, to be exact."
"..." Su Yang wore a look of disbelief, rendered speechless. He had always known that Xiao Rong had an extraordinary background, but he had never expected this outco.
Even Xiao Rong was quite shocked to hear this news.
"You're my… sister?" Xiao Rong stared at her with wide eyes.
Xu Xuan nodded and explained, "Yes. Normally, only one Phantom Cat may exist at a ti. However, by so miracle, the universe birthed the two of us together, making us twins. If you don't believe , I can share with you our mories together."
"Heavens… what kind of coincidence is this? To think I would et your missing sister and form a Blood Contract with her after my reincarnation, even bringing her back to you…" Su Yang looked at Xiao Rong, who appeared to be in deep thought.
