Who is Who 2

Tan Xiaohui sat motionless, while Zhou Jingru and the others went up to look at the body out of curiosity . Everyone was shocked when they saw the face . Xie Yuqing looked at the corpse then back at Tan Xiaohui . She stood still, baffled, Oh wow, how are they so alike?

After a short pause, Tan Xiaohui muttered, Theres no need to compare, she is the real Tan Xiaohui .

Her words left them all bewildered .

Ye Shaoyang chuckled, looked at her, and asked, Who are you then?

Tan Xiaohui walked over to the sofa and held the corpse close . Tears started to stream down her face, as she muttered, Sorry for the hards.h.i.+p .

After some time of crying, she laid down the corpse gently and looked up at the silent crowd . She smiled gently and said to Ye Shaoyang, I bet youve figured out my ident.i.ty, right?

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath and said, I have, and youre one of the spirits in the Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation .

What!? Zhou Jingru and Xie Yuqing both exclaimed in shock . Teng Yongqing was also shocked, and he looked at Tan Xiaohui in disbelief .

Thats impossible! Xie Yuqing said, as she looked at Ye Shaoyang, Didnt you say that the spirits need to be spirits from the Underworld? She even if she is a spirit, she is not an Underworld spirit .

Im not the spirit of Xiaohui, Tan Xiaohui said, Im the arctic silkworm .

These words shocked everyone, except for Ye Shaoyang .

The arctic silkworm! She was a worm a demon!

Tan Xiaohui looked at the corpse and teared up again, Shes my master, Tan Xiaohui .

Ye Shaoyang and the others looked at her silently . They waited patiently for her to elaborate .

Tan Xiaohui let out a sigh, as she looked down . She opened up her hands and looked at her ten fingers, I love the feeling of having hands .

Her words left everyone a bit surprised . However, they soon understood that she was a worm, so she did not have hands .

Im the arctic silkworm, and I protect the family of great witches . Im a demon and Tan Xiaohui is my master . The things Ive told you before were all true, but they were all my masters experiences . She came to Stone City to study and find Jing Shuai . Unfortunately, she was tricked and killed in battle .

She paused and smiled, The cousin I told you guys about was actually Xiaohui . Before she died, she used all her strength to hold back the Spirit Commissioner in order to let me run . Her final words were stay alive . . . .

Tan Xiaohui teared up again and cried . Zhou Jingru opened up a pack of tissues and sat beside her to console her .

Tan Xiaohui was slightly surprised, as she looked at Zhou Jingru, Arent you afraid? Im a demon .

Zhou Jingru brushed away the hair stuck on Tan Xiaohuis teary face and said, Youll always be Tan Xiaohui to me .

Tan Xiaohui looked at her with grat.i.tude, and she nodded and continued,

Unfortunately, I was unable to escape from the Spirit Commissioner . They captured me, but they did not kill me . Instead, Jing Shuai suggested I become a part of the formation; thats why they trapped me in that tree . They knew that I couldnt escape, but they didnt think I could seal myself off, insulating myself from their magic . As a result, their plans failed, and they abandoned the formation .

Originally, they were just burying Ma Chengs ancestor to please Ma Cheng . However, because of me and the failure of the aiding formation, they thought of another plan: to use the remains of the ancestor to create a Fleshy Undead and gather the Yin Qi at the same time . They knew that when the Fleshy Undead formed, Madam Chee would be able to bypa.s.s the Formation of Five Elements and enter the Fleshy Undead .

Then, she looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, Youre a Daoist, so you should know more about the inner workings of this .

Ye Shaoyang nodded; he had known that the Fleshy Undead could be used in such a manner . Previously, because he did not know that the aiding formation had failed, he thought that the Fleshy Undead was just something irrelevant . Ye Shaoyang thought,

This Jing Shuai is pretty impressive; not only does he know the art of Gu, he is also a master of formations .

Suddenly Ye Shaoyang had a question, Since you were sealed up, how did you find out the later truths?

I found about out them out recently . The Spirit Commissioner and Jing Shuai are dead, while Madam Chee is trapped in the formation . As a result, there was little resistance . Tan Xiaohui looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, Thats about as much as I know . If you have any questions, just ask me .

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath . Even though he had figured out that she was the arctic silkworm, he had conflicting emotions after hearing her story .

Ye Shaoyang thought through the things she said, and he did not have any more questions . In fact, he now knew how she was able to find out so many things right after she returned from Sichuan . It was because she already had some leads .

When we first found you in the tree, you were already like this . Did you change form immediately before we came?

Tan Xiaohui shook her head and explained, My demon form is Tan Xiaohui, while my real form is a silkworm . Because as a silkworm I cant do much, I usually just stay in my demon form .

After saying that, she giggled and said to Ye Shaoyang, I bet you were surprised that a demon like me was right under your nose for so long .

I already knew there was demon Qi coming from you early on, but I thought that was the arctic silkworm on you . I didnt think it was actually coming from you, Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, But why didnt you tell me right away after meeting us?

I wasnt sure if you were trustworthy at that time, so I acted as Tan Xiaohui to observe you .

Then you should believe me now, but why didnt you tell me earlier?

Tan Xiaohui looked at him for a while, and said with a sad voice, You really dont know?
