Chapter 158: Borrowed Life and Possession

“Tangtang, Tangtang…” Ah Bao tilted her head, looking at Feng Sheng. “Sister…”

【Feng Xuetang, Princess of Feng Country, Feng Sheng’s sister.】

【Sigh, tell Feng Sheng a story, but this little mouth doesn’t speak clearly, so annoying.】

Feng Sheng was stunned, staring at Ah Bao. “You… How do you know…”

Ah Bao snorted.

【I know a lot of things. Not only do I know the relationship between Feng Xuetang and Feng Sheng, but I also know…】

“Sister.” Ah Bao put one hand on her hip and pointed at Feng Sheng with the other. “You, like sister…”

“Shut up, shut up!” Feng Sheng went mad, shouting.

How could this little girl know?

Feng Sheng looked at her with the fear of seeing a ghost.

Ah Bao’s eyes rolled. 【Who do you think you are? Telling me to shut up? I won’t! I’m going to make you mad!】

“She is your younger sister.”

The words were clumsy!

Speaking was such a hassle.

Ah Bao spoke slowly, one word at a time. The room fell silent, and everyone pieced together her words and understood.

The tyrant and Di Li, who could hear Ah Bao’s thoughts and knew more than others, were also deeply shocked!

“Feng Sheng!!!” Concubine Hui screamed, her eyes bloodshot. “Who is Feng Xuetang? Tell me! If you don’t tell me, I’ll burn the bones inside with fire today!”

Concubine Hui was capable of such actions.

Feng Sheng believed that.

This woman was indeed foolish, but she was ruthlessly determined when provoked.

“I forbid you to touch her!”

“Did you say… Tang’er?” Concubine Hui staggered and collapsed on the ground again.

Tang’er, she remembered.

Once, when she was with Feng Sheng, during an intimate moment, Feng Sheng had mentioned the name ‘Tang’er.’

At that time, she had asked Feng Sheng, but he had refused to acknowledge it.

Back then, she thought she had misheard.

Now, looking at the well-preserved body in the ice coffin, Concubine Hui finally understood.

“Feng Xuetang is the deposed princess of Feng Country. You, Feng Sheng, originally named Feng Sheng, are the deposed prince of Feng Country. You once said you had a younger sister born of the same mother. The person you were referring to was… Feng Xuetang.” Concubine Hui’s thoughts exploded. “You always spoke of Tang’er, and you… you actually liked her…?!”

Concubine Hui couldn’t believe it.

Even the tyrant and Di Li were stunned.

“The real Feng Xuetang has already died of illness. She was replaced by the younger sister my mother brought back from outside,” Feng Sheng revealed. “Only I know this secret.”

“Even if you don’t share blood, you grew up together as siblings. How could you…”

【Little Concubine Hui is finally smart for once. Feng Sheng loved Feng Xuetang deeply. But don’t rush, there’s an even bigger revelation coming.】

The tyrant swallowed hard and rubbed his forehead. There’s more?

Di Li’s heart was racing.

He hadn’t expected to deal with such a revelation today, but now, it seemed unavoidable.

Personal secrets were always more compelling than others’ secrets.

“Feng Sheng, you liar! You deceived me! I want you to die with me!” Concubine Hui was furious. Feng Sheng had claimed to love her, but it was all a lie.

No wonder she always felt Feng Sheng’s gaze was strange when he was emotionally stirred.

He looked at her as if seeing someone else.

It turned out Feng Sheng was seeing Feng Xuetang through her!

Feng Sheng had treated her as a substitute for Feng Xuetang!

“Wen Jiaojiao, enough! What right do you have to make me die with you? Do you deserve it?” Feng Sheng exploded, unable to contain his rage. “I like Tang’er, so what? Wen Jiaojiao, let me tell you, if it weren’t for Tang’er, you would have died long ago. You wouldn’t have lived to this day! I won’t allow you to insult Tang’er. You should kneel and thank her for giving you life! Otherwise, you’d be a ghost in the underworld right now!”

【Wow, Feng Sheng finally couldn’t hold back. The big revelation is coming! Little Concubine Hui, hang in there, your secret is about to be exposed!】

“What… did you say?”

“Twenty years ago, you should have died. The day you gave birth, you should have died.”

Concubine Hui’s face turned pale with shock.

Di Li wanted to step forward but was instinctively stopped by the tyrant. He wanted to know the details of Concubine Hui borrowing life.

Feng Sheng’s gaze was like a knife, filled with disdain and contempt for Concubine Hui, showing no affection. “It was I who entered the palace and extended your life. I used Tang’er’s lifespan to prolong yours.

You borrowed Tang’er’s life and lived to this day, and you still dare to criticize her. How can you deserve it?”

“Why me? Why borrow life for me?” Concubine Hui was on the verge of madness.

Why her?

Feng Sheng sneered. “Do you think I wanted to lend you life? It’s because your birth date matched Tang’er’s.”

“Who told you to lend me life?” Concubine Hui gritted her teeth. “What I’m asking is, why did you lend me life?”

Back then, she didn’t know Feng Sheng at all.

Everyone looked at Feng Sheng.

Including Taoist Baiyun.

But Feng Sheng continued to stare at Feng Xuetang’s corpse, remaining silent.

The tyrant and Di Li were both anxious.

Taoist Baiyun was also curious.

Concubine Hui rushed to Feng Sheng, slapping him repeatedly. “Tell me! Tell me! Why did you lend me life? Why me? Why?”

“Hahahahaha, you’ll never know. Emperor of Tiansheng, if you release Tang’er and me, I’ll write everything down and answer your questions. Otherwise, you’ll all wait to die. Wen Jiaojiao will die, Di Li will die, and your Tiansheng Dynasty will be destroyed! Hahahaha.”

Feng Sheng was smug and arrogant.

【Hmph, who does this guy think he is threatening my father? I know the secret.】

With a ‘crunch’ sound, Ah Bao, hungry, took out a small biscuit from her little pouch and ate it one by one.

The little girl was calm and leisurely.

The tyrant and Di Li immediately perked up their ears.

Ah Bao was really helpful this time, not just thinking, but speaking up loudly.

She subtly tugged at the tyrant’s sleeve. “Daddy, have you heard of… soul transfer?”

Feng Sheng’s laughter stopped abruptly. He stared in horror at Ah Bao. The tenth princess actually…

Di Li: ???

The tyrant understood immediately. “Possession?”

Ah Bao’s eyes sparkled. “Yes, that’s right.”

Ah Bao gave Taoist Baiyun a meaningful look.

Taoist Baiyun, coming out of his daze, thought for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, I’ve heard of the practice of corpse reanimation in the past.

Although… it’s quite horrifying, it’s a fact.

Feng Sheng’s actions are almost identical to the strange occurrences I’ve seen before.”

“Feng Xuetang died from external injuries, but because her fate was not meant to end, her lifespan was not yet exhausted. A special formation can be used to transfer the remaining lifespan of Feng Xuetang to another person.

The person must have a compatible birthdate with Feng Xuetang and be on the brink of death. By borrowing life to extend their own, they can be kept alive.

In reality, she was kept alive to wait until Feng Xuetang’s essence was sufficiently nourished before taking over the person’s body.”
