145: Awaken? The Sword Immortal of the Moon!
When Li Yan asked if there was another person inside her, Yan Qingqing was ecstatic.
She had always harbored a secret, and this secret was precisely why she was confined to the Blood Servant Sect.
And that was…
There was another person within her, which led her father, Yan Poshan, to protect her by forbidding her from going out to Cultivate alone.
Yan Qingqing had to be accompanied by her father or the Elders whenever she left the Blood Servant Sect.
This also meant that Yan Qingqing could only Cultivate within the Blood Servant Sect's mountain gate since she was a child.
Now that the Saint said there was another person inside her, she felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
"Saint, how did you know?"
Li Yan feigned profundity: "Naturally, while examining your talent, I also checked the situation within your body."
"Saint, actually, only a few people know about this matter: my father and a few Elders within the Sect."
This little girl, Yan Qingqing, looked earnestly at Li Yan: "I... I actually have a twin sister!"
Twin sister?
Li Yan raised an eyebrow: "How so?"
The Yan Qingqing before him pondered for a moment, deciding to tell Li Yan about this matter.
After all, the Saint might become her Dao Companion in the future, so it was better to be clear about these things.
She mustered her courage, her eyes filled with sincerity.
"When my mother was pregnant with me, my father used a Spell to discern that my mother was carrying twins."
It was not difficult for Cultivators to examine the condition of a fetus; such matters were commonplace.
"At first, my father was very happy and eagerly awaited the birth of my sister and me."
"But later, for some unknown reason, when my mother was three months pregnant, a group of mysterious people attacked the Blood Servant Sect."
"After a bloody struggle by my father and thirteen Elders, they finally managed to repel that group."
"But my mother seemed to have been frightened, which resulted in my sister becoming a stillbirth."
Hearing what Yan Qingqing said, and then recalling the aura of the Moonlit Sword Immortal within Yan Qingqing's Soul.
Li Yan speculated that someone must have known OHazy moon was about to Reincarnate and Rebirth, and thus tried to kill the OHazy moon Fairy, who had not yet been born, while she was still in her mother's womb.
He eagerly wanted to know what happened next and pressed: "And then?"
"Then... my mother's womb contained a pair of Yin and Yang twins."
"I was the living fetus, and my sister was the stillborn fetus."
The presence of two fetuses, one Yin and one Yang, in a pregnant woman's womb was indeed inauspicious.
Even in the Immortal Cultivation World, such a situation was rare.
It could be heard that Yan Qingqing was lucky to have survived and not been contaminated by the stillbirth.
And Yan Qingqing told Li Yan her secret without reservation.
"Because they were Yin and Yang twins, my sister slowly disappeared inside my mother's womb."
"Then... then I absorbed her!"
"To this day, I can still feel that a part of my body belongs to my sister!"
After hearing this story, Li Yan did not feel too shocked.
This stemmed from him being a Transmigration; he had heard of such a situation.
On Blue Star, this condition is called [Vanishing Twin Syndrome], which refers to one fetus absorbing another stillborn fetus.
Although the stillborn fetus died, her flesh, blood, and a part of her genes would integrate into the surviving person.
To put it in a chilling way, the living fetus devoured the deceased fetus.
Your brother or sister, their Bloodline forever remains within your body.
Of course, these scientific things, to Cultivators, are considered very inauspicious in their eyes.
But for Blood Cultivators, this is a naturally born Devouring Saint Body!
Devouring a sibling before birth is a sure sign of Blood Cultivators talent.
Li Yan pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
OHazy moon was Reincarnated into this family and was ambushed by villains just after her Reincarnation.
As a last resort, she became a stillborn fetus and merged into Yan Qingqing's body.
OHazy moon's Soul also hid deep within Yan Qingqing's Soul.
She entered a dormant state, lying in wait for the opportune moment of Rebirth.
After understanding this situation, Li Yan thought of even more terrifying things.
Why did OHazy moon Rebirth and Reincarnate?
Who was it that acted, wanting to kill OHazy moon in the womb?
All the answers, perhaps, could only be asked directly of OHazy moon.
As Li Yan pondered, Yan Qingqing played with the corner of her clothes, asking hesitantly.
"Uh, Saint, there's one more thing I want to tell you."
For some reason, Yan Qingqing held nothing back from Li Yan.
It was as if a voice inside her told her that this older brother before her was trustworthy.
"Hmm?"
Li Yan was curious what other secrets Yan Qingqing had, but then she leaned in, whispering into Li Yan's ear.
"My sister's name is Yan Zhenzhen."
"As long as I'm willing, I can wake her up and let my sister meet you."
Upon receiving this news, Li Yan suppressed his inner excitement and asked in a calm tone.
"Oh? How interesting."
"Then can you let your sister, Yan Zhenzhen, come out and meet me?"
The cute little girl with long black hair before him pondered for a moment.
"I'll try to wake my sister, just a moment."
The white-clad girl sat cross-legged on the ground, closing her eyes as if communicating with someone.
Li Yan swallowed, becoming even more expectant.
Her so-called sister, Yan Zhenzhen, must be the OHazy moon Fairy!
The OHazy moon Fairy was hiding inside her!
As long as Yan Zhenzhen was awakened, everything would be revealed.
After only about half an incense stick's time, the girl's demeanor suddenly changed.
One could sense that Yan Qingqing had been replaced!
The girl slowly opened her eyes, no longer displaying that innocent and adorable look, but instead, her brows and eyes exuded a Sword Intent.
This gaze!
That's right!
This person before him was his long-lost female disciple, the Moonlit Sword Immortal!
Looking at this disciple, Li Yan clasped his hands behind his back, assuming the posture of an otherworldly expert.
However, Yan Zhenzhen's first words were:
"Young Master, who are you?"
"Why are you and I alone in this room?"
Li Yan frowned and retorted, "You don't recognize me?"
"I don't recognize you, but you look a bit familiar. I'm not quite sure..."
The girl's demeanor had greatly changed, becoming mature and composed, and at the same time, she appeared naturally suspicious, unlike Yan Qingqing's innocence.
The woman with the changed personality before him was Yan Qingqing's sister, Yan Zhenzhen.
She scrutinized Li Yan up and down, then thoughtfully said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere? But I've forgotten."
"It seems there's something very important, hmm... let me think."
The naturally suspicious Yan Zhenzhen, after gaining control of the body, began to try hard to recall whether this handsome Young Master before her was acquainted with her.
In Li Yan's view, Yan Zhenzhen was actually the Moonlit Sword Immortal, but she seemed to have lost her memory.
A moment later, Yan Zhenzhen had a flash of inspiration and pointed at Li Yan.
"I think I remember! You are!"
