"Dear little sister, you can have your body back. Your grandfather's here. What a shame. If not for that damned fellow just now, I could have played a little longer."
As the voice faded, Qian Renxue's soul, within her sea of spirit, discovered something astonishing.
She could control her own body again, and her hair and everything else had returned to normal.
"Xue'er!"
Qian Daoliu's voice came from afar, carrying a trace of anxiety.
After landing, Qian Daoliu rushed to his granddaughter, took one of her hands, and sent a stream of pure soul power into her.
Only after confirming that his granddaughter was unharmed did Qian Daoliu let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Xue'er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
At his question, Qian Renxue shook her head, recalling the thing that had occupied her body.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not a thing!"
"I am you, and you are me!"
Qian Renxue was startled. She had never imagined that the thing occupying her body could even hear her thoughts!
No, I have to tell Grandpa about this. If this keeps happening, what if something goes wrong someday?
The moment that thought crossed her mind, Qian Renxue spoke to Qian Daoliu.
"Grandpa, there's something I want to tell you. It's been troubling me, and I really don't understand what's causing it."
Faced with Qian Renxue's question, Qian Daoliu seemed to have anticipated it.
He had watched the recording the Angel Legion brought back. His granddaughter in that recording had clearly been possessed by something.
"Xue'er, Grandpa knows what you want to ask, but there's nothing I can do about it either."
Qian Daoliu turned away, his voice filled with helplessness.
He had read about such a thing in the ancient texts left behind by the Angel God: the Dark Side.
