Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Huo Gua, yet a Manjusaka Flower

As Chi Xiao hurriedly left,

Xiao Wu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with intense astonishment and confusion.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

"I'm back..."

A soft call escaped uncontrollably from between her lips:

"Third Brother..."

The next instant, her whole body suddenly froze.

???

Something's wrong; clearly, nothing's right.

She is Ah Yin, Tang Hao's wife, and Tang San's biological mother. How could she utter such an intimate term?

She swore brotherhood with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao back then. Tang Xiao was the eldest brother and Tang Hao was the second. Even if she were to call someone, she should be the second brother. How could she be the third brother?

Ah Yin, who was possessing Xiao Wu's body, was filled with chaos and confusion, and her thoughts were in turmoil.

"Was it the other woman... who called me back?"

What alarmed her even more was that the murmur she had just heard clearly came from her own mouth, but it had not been authorized by her soul. It was as if another consciousness was lurking deep within her body, instinctively calling out that name.

"Who are you? Why are you taking over my body?"

Xiao Wu's expression changed drastically, and she cried out in alarm.

Upon hearing this, the soul attached to her body was suddenly startled, looked around blankly, and then stared blankly at its own hands.

"This is……"

"Are you Xiao Wu?"

The soul occupying Xiao Wu's body spoke in a confused tone, its consciousness in a state of chaos, unable to comprehend the absurd situation before it.

She clearly sensed that this frail young girl's body did not belong to her at all.

"I am Xiao Wu. Who are you?"

Xiao Wu listened intently and realized that the other person's tone of voice was strangely familiar, as if it were engraved deep in her memory.

"I'm Ah Yin... What happened to us?"

Xiao Wu's mind went blank for a moment, leaving her completely bewildered:

Ah Yin? Tang San's mother?

After a battle of wits and a verification of memories, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who shared the same body, were deeply shaken. "Xiao Wu" slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant.

Who could have imagined that such an absurd and bizarre thing would happen in the world—the souls of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were forcibly imprisoned in the same body.

"When I woke up, I thought it was my mistress who had brought my soul back, but I never expected it to be like this..."

"Third Brother has been abducted by the God of Destruction; this could not possibly have been his doing."

Xiao Wu's tone suddenly tightened, filled with barely suppressed anger, "What's more, how could Third Brother do such an absurd thing? We must find the mastermind behind this and make him fall into the abyss forever, never to be reborn! How dare he humiliate us like this!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu was still unaware of the danger of the situation and remained somewhat certain in her heart.

Her Tang San's strength is unparalleled in the God Realm, so he must have a way to separate Ah Yin's soul from his body.

Ah Yin's soul trembled slightly within her body, her tone deep and thoughtful, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, her voice filled with endless worry:

"Being made a fool of is a small matter, but... the mistress's elaborate scheme is likely to come to nothing."

Within the golden tree, she could sense that she was still alive, her soul split in two, but the connection to the core of life had become extremely weak.

All the painstaking planning was about to succeed when an unexpected event occurred, and all the efforts were in vain.

Xiao Wu did not press Tang San about the so-called plan. Since Tang San chose to conceal it, he must have his reasons and considerations.

Suddenly, as if she had grasped a crucial clue, her eyes lit up, and she spoke urgently:

"Mother, there must be something fishy about this! Third Brother was just taken away by the God of Destruction, and then we encountered such a bizarre turn of events. This must be a conspiracy premeditated by the God of Destruction!"

"Throughout the entire divine realm, only the God of Destruction could wield such a sinister and unpredictable forbidden technique!"

In Xiao Wu's mind, it was not surprising that the destroyer of all the gods under his command was already eccentric and stubborn, and acted without any rules.

"Xiao Wu, what you say makes sense, but we can only find out the truth after the mistress returns." Ah Yin's voice rang softly in the depths of her soul, carrying a hint of composure.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and imposing figure stepped onto the waves and stood in the Sea God's mansion. It was none other than the Sea God Tang San.

His brows were furrowed, his expression revealing dissatisfaction with the ruling of the Divine Realm Committee, yet he was bound by the rules, leaving him with only a sense of helplessness.

"Destruction, you can be smug for two days!"

Because Tang San interfered with the Douluo Continent with divine power, the gods ruled to temporarily revoke Tang San's right to monitor the lower realms.

In other words, Tang San should "rest" for a few days.

For Tang San, this punishment was somewhat severe, yet it was neither painful nor unpleasant; it was just a bit disgusting!

Fortunately, there was a backup plan.

Everything is under control!

"Mistress, you're back."

A familiar voice called in his ear, and Tang San paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind. Ever since he became a god, Xiao Wu had always addressed him as "Third Brother," a term he hadn't heard in a long time. He assumed it was just Xiao Wu being affectionate and didn't think much of it. With a swift movement, he used his Ghostly Shadow Steps to reach her, and without hesitation, he reached out to pull her into his arms.

"The other woman!"

A soft shout, tinged with embarrassment and embarrassment, suddenly rang out. Ah Yin, who possessed this body, felt that this was extremely impolite. Before she could finish speaking, a divine power intertwined with black and red erupted from her body. Tang San was caught off guard and was thrown into the air by this tremendous force. His body spun several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Tang San was utterly astonished and momentarily at a loss. Xiao Wu was merely the vessel for the Asura God's position; there was absolutely no way she could unleash such formidable power. There must be something fishy about this.

"Mistress, are you hurt?"

Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward and knelt down, her brows furrowed with anxiety, her gaze towards Tang San filled with a motherly tenderness and worry. Tang San met her gaze for a moment, his strange feeling growing stronger. Xiao Wu's concern was genuine and palpable, yet her eyes seemed to be gazing at her own child.

"Xiao Wu, the way you look at me right now...it's just like my mother."

Tang San blurted out the words instinctively, temporarily forgetting his shock at being knocked away. Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

The next moment, two completely different voices came from the same body one after another:

"Third Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"The mistress has indeed gotten into serious trouble."

One voice was soft and affectionate, the other warm and steady; the way they addressed each other was worlds apart. Tang San frowned, his eyes swirling with suspicion.

"After you left, I was attacked by a villain..."

"I was attacked in secret while I was absorbing the life core..."

"When I woke up again, my soul and my mother's (Xiao Wu's) soul were trapped in the same body!"

After hearing this chaotic yet clear account, Tang San's eyes snapped open, his face filled with shock. Someone had actually forcibly merged Ah Yin's and Xiao Wu's souls? The force that had just sent him flying also surfaced in his mind at this moment, and a strange sense of familiarity swept over him—this method of manipulating souls was exactly the same as the method he had used to deal with the Child of Destiny.

"I must verify this myself."

Tang San stood up, ignoring the confusion in Xiao Wu's eyes, and stepped forward again to hug her and confirm.

bang——

The fierce divine power erupted once again. This time, Tang San, who was prepared, was knocked back, but he stood firmly and did not fall to the ground in a sorry state again.
