The Crow's words left Yue Shuang utterly stunned, her eyes wide and her face full of shock. She seemed unable to believe how the Crow knew all these things.
This was also the first time Lin Bai had heard the Crow say any of this. Ever since arriving at Monarch's Slope, the Crow had been constantly recalling the past.

Lin Bai also understood the truth from the Crow's words.
Many years ago, when Yue Shuang was still a weak wandering soul, the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor discovered her just after she had developed a wisp of intelligence. Seeing her stunning beauty and her strange physique, the "Nine Yin Spirit Nurturing Body," he secretly took her with him and helped her cultivate, hoping that her Nine Yin Spirit Nurturing Body would reach perfection. Afterward, he intended to unite with Yue Shuang spiritually, drain all the strength from her body, and make her give birth to the Ghost God Child for him.
