Douluo 2: I transmigrated as Huo Yuhao's own sister

Chapter 693 One Life, Two Lives

"Legend has it that it is a land left behind by the gods." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm elegantly snapped her fingers, her transformed human form leaning back lazily. "According to some unknown unofficial historical record, the Wind lineage is a forbidden offspring of a certain wind-type soul beast and a human god."

"Aww!"

Huo Yunche and Huo Yuhao both shrank their necks at the same time.

Ice Emperor expressionlessly patted his right fist, which seemed to be covered in something dirty: "The reason why the Howling Abyss is feared by the soul beasts of the far north ice plains is because it is full of extreme winds, and the Wind lineage is the only non-ice type soul beast group in the far north ice plains."

"Or"

The regret hidden beneath Hyotei's gradually cooling gaze, a voice that seemed to have seen through everything, suddenly overlapped with the faint, yet still strained, breath of Kaze Shigenari.

"A lineage of gentle breezes, a life shared by two souls."

"One life is like the wind, pursuing freedom; one life is like healing, forging the soul's home."

"Gentle Breeze. One Life, Two Lives. One Life, Two Lives?"

He Caitou seemed to remember something.

"Does 'twin' mean twin martial souls?" he suddenly asked, his dark eyes revealing no emotion, but the clenched fist hidden behind his back betrayed a hint of resentment.

Tang Ya glanced at it thoughtfully.

"Twin martial souls?"

Feng Chonglang, who was interrupted, was stunned for a moment. He rolled his eyes with some difficulty, and when his gaze fell on He Caitou, who had somehow half-hidden himself in the light and shadow, his pupils involuntarily dilated for a moment.

"Ah," he slowly let out a sigh that was not quite a sigh, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Similar to your human twin martial souls, we of the Hefeng lineage can indeed use both the ultimate wind and ultimate healing powers at the same time."

"However, the reason we are born with two lives is because we possess both human and animal forms at the same time."

"In other words, our Wind Clan's human and beast forms are intertwined."

"One life is lost, another life remains."

"Simply put, it means we have the opportunity to give up one of our companions in exchange for a chance to escape unscathed."

"A cicada shedding its shell?" He Caitou murmured, "Then..."

“Just as you thought, child.” Feng Chonglang looked at him steadily and slowly pointed to the skull that was now just a skeleton. “If it is indeed as I guessed, perhaps you still have a chance to see the person you want to see.”

Seeing the situation suddenly take a suspenseful turn, the Shrek members exchanged glances, then tacitly crossed their hands to cover their mouths, took a step back, and left only their curious, darting eyes to reveal their omnipresent presence.

at least
He Caitou felt a stinging sensation on his back, and his back was drenched in sweat.

"Hehe, ha!" He laughed somewhat awkwardly, raising his hand to scratch the back of his head, which was burning from being stared at. "Senior, you still haven't explained how you two, as members of the Hefeng lineage, ended up joining the Holy Spirit Cult and becoming evil soul masters."

He Caitou looked Feng Chonglang up and down, coughed lightly, and silently swallowed back the "ghostly appearance" that was about to come out of his mouth.

"Still looking like this?"

Wind and Waves:
The ghostly green pupils suddenly stopped blinking.

The skeleton, which was already nothing but a white skeleton, suddenly emitted a teeth-grinding "crunch," especially the gums that were no longer covered by lips, revealing a full expanse of stark white.

"When foreign enemies invaded, the Howling Abyss was littered with corpses. All the members of the Feng clan, except for me and my second brother Feng Chongtao who escaped to search for people under the cover of our clansmen, were wiped out."

Every word, every phrase, was delivered with the force of a bite, as if tearing at the enemy's lifeline.

"How hateful that even though we risked our lives to escape, we couldn't find help and instead fell back into the wolf's den, becoming the lackeys of our clan's annihilation enemy! Now, even our souls in the afterlife will be used as nourishment, hahahahahaha!"

Feng Chonglang gazed at the spot where his younger brother had vanished into thin air. His previously suppressed mental sea was thrown into turmoil by the added pain of the memories, and his pupils, which had been glowing with eerie green fireflies, were instantly tinged with crimson.

"...would be better!"

Perhaps it was the extreme grief and indignation that gave him strength, but Feng Chonglang's left shoulder and left arm bones suddenly scraped against the ground with an extremely piercing, long, sharp sound, "Sizzle—".

The sharp, explosive sound made everyone's eardrums vibrate, and they almost instinctively furrowed their brows and covered their ears.

The massive skeleton staggered to its feet with all its might, and the last bit of strength it had just mustered pierced through the waists and abdomens of everyone present.

"boom--"

Because of the unspoken "connection" between Feng Chonglang and He Caitou, the group was somewhat relaxed and didn't even have time to react. In an instant, they lost control of their soul power and flew backward like kites with broken strings.

He watched helplessly as the skeleton struggled, limping but without hesitation, toward the gate he had been desperately guarding.

time.

Though short, it felt incredibly long.

The white bones dragged across the ground, the clanging sounds echoing in everyone's ears, creating a series of piercing, dry echoes. Then—

"boom--"

The lingering, sinister aura of darkness gently concealed everyone's gaze.

"Wait--"

"Second Brother"

"Xiao Xiao." Hearing Xiao Xiao's soft call, He Caitou turned his head blankly. "It seems I've lost my family again. I've only just found a tiny clue. Why... why do they always abandon me like this? My father, my mother, my grandfather, and even him, whom I only met once."

He was so bewildered and helpless that he grabbed Xiao Xiao's sleeve like a child, whispering awkwardly and with a sense of grievance:
"Why? Is it because I'm a bad child?"

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, stood on tiptoe, and forcefully yet gently pulled He Caitou's head to her shoulder, letting him clench the hem of her clothes to vent his pain, while gently stroking his hair again and again.

“How could Senior Brother be a bad kid? Our Second Senior Brother is clearly the most considerate, thoughtful, resilient, and brave person imaginable. And Second Senior Brother, look up—”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

She cupped He Caitou's dejected face in her hands, and unexpectedly met four or five pairs of eyes that sparkled like stars.

“We are all your family, Second Brother Pig.”

"That's right, Second Senior Brother is really not being fair. What, does he not consider us family?" Wang Dong raised his chin and snorted. "I don't care, you are the Second Senior Brother that I personally recognized. We're family, so we don't need to be so formal."

"Second senior brother."

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, but looked at He Caitou with a serious expression and called out softly.

Jiang Nannan raised her hand and patted He Caitou on the shoulder: "Your family member is lost, but we'll help you find him. Isn't there still a glimmer of hope?"

Huo Yunche had just opened his mouth when he said, "I..."

"Hey you guys, how about we pause this sweet and tender moment for a bit?" Nana finally couldn't help but exclaim.
