Ah Chen released her power, and the previously bound light spot in her sea of consciousness instantly manifested as a bird, then attempted to seize control of her body.
The opponent even tried to suppress her soul. If her soul were ordinary, she would surely be unable to resist. Ah Chen also heard a confusing voice, like hypnosis, as if trying to lull her soul to sleep.
At this point, how could she not understand that although Bai Ying had lost her mory after taking control of this body, she wasn’t innocent and willingly occupied it. Since that’s the case, she wouldn’t let the opponent go so easily.
Do you like this body?
Then stay here.
But it’s impossible to control this body anymore.
Ah Chen wasn’t interested in further bargaining with the opponent, so her soul power surged forth, instantly shattering the confusing voice and imprisoning it in a small corner of her sea of consciousness, unable to struggle.
"Ah—"
"Let go!"
"What did you do to ?"
The voice was pleasing, akin to singing, one that could bewilder anyone.
The earlier sleep-inducing voice was sothing ordinary people could hardly resist, likely her innate talent?
Ah Chen watched the bird thrashing about in the cage and chuckled, "What did I do? You ca into my body and you ask what I did? What a strange question."
Bai Ying was terrified; how could this happen?
Bai Chen couldn’t possibly belong to any Mysterious Family, so why was she imprisoned by the opponent?
"Tell , why did you enter my body and try to take over?" It was necessary to ask, though she wouldn’t easily let Bai Ying go.
"I don’t know." Bai Ying said pitifully, "I don’t know why I ca here either. Once here, I instinctively wanted to take control, sorry, can you let go? It really wasn’t intentional."
Ah Chen glanced at her indifferently, "Do I look easy to deceive? If you don’t want to say, forget it, you can stay here."
Bai Ying flapped her wings anxiously but remained silent. She couldn’t possibly tell the real reason, as doing so would make the opponent even less likely to release her.
Is this the ordeal the Nightingale Clan must face?
During previous family trials, nothing like this ever happened.
By rights, Bai Chen, a re ordinary person, shouldn’t be resistant to the nightingale’s hypnotic song.
No, Bai Chen is no ordinary person. Soone who can bind her here can’t be ordinary. This is a complete failure; this is her adulthood trial. If she can’t pass, she will never beco human.
If only she had known that Bai Chen wasn’t ordinary, that she might have so Mysterious Family lineage, she wouldn’t have chosen Bai Chen. Others might not be as outwardly appealing, but they were likely genuine ordinary people.
She’s to bla for coveting Bai Chen’s appearance. Since this was her adulthood trial, the prettier the host she chose, the more her appearance would match that host upon passing the trial.
The bird was captured and caged, and Ah Chen had no interest in further conversation.
After handling matters concerning Ji Wuyan before, she vaguely guessed so of Bai Ying’s intentions, fearing it might be a characteristic of Bai Ying’s race, aiming to achieve sothing.
Bai Ying surely won’t achieve her goals; it’s unknown what consequences there’ll be.
The consequences, anyway, are for the opponent to bear, and she doesn’t care since she’s not the one in a hurry. The opponent is still stubborn, so there must be a ti limit, let’s see how long she can remain stubborn.
"Ji Wuyan."
In the darkness, Ji Wuyan wasn’t asleep, staring blankly.
It was, after all, the first rainy night since adulthood, spending it in human form. The girl who captivated him was nearby; how could he sleep?
Hearing her voice suddenly, he got up in a hurry, walking nervously towards her, fearing the earlier light spot affected her.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Ah Chen reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. The light made Ji Wuyan tense, and he hurriedly tightened the towel around his waist, his skin slightly reddening.
Seeing her smile, he sighed inwardly, a little helpless.
"That thing just now was a bird, now I’ve locked it in my head. It seems to be a nightingale; it even sang a hypnosis song." Ah Chen said with a smile. She decided to inform Ji Wuyan, otherwise, he would surely try to take her to the Ji Family tomorrow, just to stop him from worrying.
Currently, she wasn’t planning to go to the Ji Family, she had matters to attend to here first.
In a not too long, nor too short sentence, Ji Wuyan understood that Ah Chen wasn’t ordinary either. Thinking back, her behavior was different from the start.
Perhaps, she saw through his true form long ago?
Not quite, Ah Chen thought amusingly. She only knew that the frog was a fragnt of Fu You’s soul, and she could sll the unusual aura. Initially, she suspected it might be a human soul attached to the frog. After examination, he was indeed in a frog’s soul state. Later, she guessed whether he was a spiritually awakened frog spirit, but there wasn’t a trace of demonic energy.
In fact, given this world’s level, it’s impossible for animals to beco spirits.
Until attending the Ji Family’s patriarch’s birthday banquet, she saw the Ji Family people, and then Ji Wuyan, she finally understood. This was a unique world system. There were no animal spirits, but these mysterious families could beco human in other ways.
Ji Wuyan appearing on rainy nights might relate to the cost for a mysterious family to beco human. Since ancient tis, spirits have to put in more effort and ti to beco human, these mysterious families must have a price to stay human.
She also deduced Bai Ying might be a mber of a mysterious family.
"A nightingale?" Ji Wuyan pondered, "Indeed there’s a Nightingale Clan, but our family isn’t familiar with them."
Yet, since they’re also a mysterious family, encounters are inevitable.
"Do you know the Bai Family of the musical lineage? They belong to the Nightingale Clan. Every mber of their family is musically gifted. Currently, the hottest singer in the entertainnt industry, Bai Jingwei, is from the Bai Family of the Nightingale Clan." Ji Wuyan added, his awareness due to his company’s need for a spokesperson. Soone proposed Bai Jingwei. He’s expensive, but well-reputed, popular with fans, and has a good image. Besides, as a powerful and popular singer, the company higher-ups deed it worthwhile.
But he’s hard to engage.
Not because Bai Jingwei demands high terms, but he’s indeed worth it.
"Bai Jingwei, huh." Ah Chen rested her chin and laughed, so that’s it, isn’t he the one who appeared in Bai Ying’s live broadcasts, drawing attention to Bai Ying quickly?
It seems their relationship is quite deep.
In the commissioner’s mory, Bai Ying’s origins were unclear.
Only aware of the things happening when she occupied the body, often hijacking the body when Bai Ying was unaware, acting crazily to ruin Bai Ying’s image.
Each ti Bai Ying resud control, she appeared confused and moryless, leading the commissioner to believe Bai Ying couldn’t control it either.
Given Bai Ying’s earlier hypnotic thods, Ah Chen realized that whenever the commissioner seized control, Bai Ying likely recovered her mory, then used the hypnotic song.
The commissioner was ordinary and couldn’t explore the sea of consciousness, unaware of Bai Ying’s actions, thinking she was innocent is quite reasonable.
Bai Ying’s amnesic appearance while controlling the body could fool anyone.
It’s unknown whether it’s voluntary or forced amnesia.
