Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1083 Xiao Rong's Origin

After hearing Su Yang call her name, Xu Xuan transformed back to her human form, becoming the ethereal beauty of the Autumn Phantom Manor.

Upon confirming her identity, Su Yang released a sigh of relief and said, "This isn't good for my heart, Xu Xuan."

"And whatever you're doing is good for the heart?" she sneered.

"I have my reasons for doing so… I'll explain it to you in a bit, but first… you were that kitten I found at the Fleeting Sword Sect? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't feel like it." Xu Xuan shrugged.

"Was our second meeting a coincidence, or did you make it seem like one?" Su Yang continued inquiring with a gentle smile on his face.

The next time he met Xu Xuan, she was already in her human form, and she never mentioned their past until today.

"Who knows." Xu Xuan shrugged.

"Anyway, you better have a good explanation for why you're still alive and pretending to be a disciple of the Boundless Yin Yang Sect."

She pointed at him with an angry expression. "I am not pretending to be a disciple, though. I am a genuine disciple who joined with the Yin Yang Badge of Acceptance. As for why I am still alive, it's because I reincarnated after my death." "You reincarnated…? And how long has it been since your return?"

"About two decades ago, I guess. However, I didn't reincarnate within the Four Divine Heavens but somewhere else—somewhere far away that I still have no idea its exact location."

"I'll explain the whole story to you, but can we do it somewhere more suitable?"

In response to his request, Xu Xuan snapped her fingers, and the entire world around them transformed. In the blink of an eye, Su Yang found himself standing before a humble house on a lonely, desolate star, the vast emptiness of the cosmos stretching out in all directions.

"Where are we?" he asked out of curiosity.

He thought she had brought him inside her spatial device, but that no longer seemed to be the case.

"Somewhere far from the Four Divine Heavens, where no one can intrude or spy on us. Here, you can relax and remove your disguise…unless you're telling me that's your new appearance after reincarnation?" Xu Xuan said, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"No, this is just a disguise." Su Yang removed his disguise, revealing to her his much superior, handsome face.

"..." Xu Xuan appeared to be astonished by his appearance.

"Y-you… you look just like when you found me at the Fleeting Sword Sect—young and innocent."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Su Yang smiled.

Once they were seated, Su Yang began recalling his experience after his reincarnation.

Meanwhile, Xiao Rong, who was sitting on Su Yang's lap in her beast form, stared at Xu Xuan's face without blinking. For some reason, even though she didn't recognize Xu Xuan, she sensed a nostalgic feeling coming from Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan noticed Xiao Rong's intense glares and would occasionally give her a brief glance, even smiling at her.

Sometime later, after listening to Su Yang's whole story, Xu Xuan nodded, "I understand your situation now, but I still have a lot of questions. Who was that old man who 'killed' then reincarnated you? What happened to your original body?"

"I don't know anything about that old man, but I visited you for two reasons. First, I wanted to see if you knew anything about my original body since your ability to track things is second to none. Secondly, I wanted to see if you knew anything about Xiao Rong's origin as a fellow Phantom Cat. You heard from the kittens that she's lost her memories, right?"

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment before responding, "I know your original body was stolen during the funeral, and I already tried looking for it, but something else came up midway, so I had to put that on hold until I sorted out my own problem."

"Even someone as exalted as you have problems? What happened?" Su Yang asked with a slightly surprised face.

"A family member of mine suddenly went missing, so I went to look for her," she said.

"The little kittens you have at the Autumn Phantom Manor? One of them is missing?" Su Yang asked.

"No, they're all there. And although they're also family, the family I am talking about is blood-related."

Su Yang was surprised to hear this since he always thought she had no family members.

"Anyway, I don't need to find her anymore because I have already found her, so I'll start looking for your original body seriously now."

"I see… thank you." Su Yang didn't put too much thought into Xu Xuan's words since it was already resolved.

However, Xu Xuan was not finished speaking and continued, "As for Xiao Rong, I know her origin. In fact, I know her quite well."

"Really? You're not messing with me?" Su Yang had hoped for this outcome, but he wasn't too hopeful.

She nodded and said, "Well, she's my sister, after all."

Su Yang immediately raised his eyebrows at her words.

"What…? Xiao Rong is your sister? How—"

Before he could even finish his sentence, Xu Xuan confirmed, "That's right, the Phantom Cat on your lap is my sister—my twin sister, to be exact."

"..." Su Yang wore a look of disbelief, rendered speechless. He had always known that Xiao Rong had an extraordinary background, but he had never expected this outcome.

Even Xiao Rong was quite shocked to hear this news.

"You're my… sister?" Xiao Rong stared at her with wide eyes.

Xu Xuan nodded and explained, "Yes. Normally, only one Phantom Cat may exist at a time. However, by some miracle, the universe birthed the two of us together, making us twins. If you don't believe me, I can share with you our memories together."

"Heavens… what kind of coincidence is this? To think I would meet your missing sister and form a Blood Contract with her after my reincarnation, even bringing her back to you…" Su Yang looked at Xiao Rong, who appeared to be in deep thought.
