Chapter 287 Seizing the Body
At this moment, Duan Tingxuan's clear, cold eyes seemed to be covered with frost that had never melted for a thousand years.

His usually calm and even eyes were now churning with a terrifying undercurrent, and even the corners of his eyes were tinged with a hint of crimson.

"I don't want to see her, but there are some things I need to figure out."

He actually mistook his savior for someone else, and even lost his own life in the process. How ridiculous!

He was foolish to mistake his savior for someone else; he has no one to blame but himself.

As he spoke, Duan Tingxuan's voice trembled slightly due to extreme anger, and his fingertips quivered slightly.

In his extreme rage, his entire body screamed with murderous intent.

No matter how Dong Baishang had treated him before, he had never thought of hurting her in the slightest. Even when he was disappointed in her or cold-hearted, he never thought of harming her or doing anything to her.

But at this moment, he felt murderous intent.

Seeing his older brother's condition, Duan Tingshu asked with some concern, "Brother, are you... are you alright?"

"The character 'Su' on the bottom of this jade pendant is hidden in the pattern and is very small, so it's not easy to spot. It's normal that you didn't notice it."

"It's all Dong Baishang's fault. Miss Su saved her, but she stole her savior's jade pendant. That shows how wicked she is."

Although the Su family might have many of these jade pendants, by some twist of fate, the eldest brother mistook one for another.

He felt sorry for his older brother.

His older brother and Miss Su missed their chance, and there was no going back.

Even if you figure it out, it won't be of any use.

But Duan Tingxuan persisted.

……

Duan Tingxuan met Dong Baishang at the place where the Ministry of Justice was holding him.

At this moment, Dong Baishang was disheveled and looked extremely disheveled.

When she saw Duan Tingxuan, she excitedly scrambled to her feet and went to the railing. "Duan Tingxuan, you've come to save me, haven't you?"

"I knew you would save me."

Duan Tingxuan said coldly, "I'm not here to save you, I'm here to send you on your final journey."

Dong Baishang was terrified of death and screamed, "No, no, I won't die, Duan Tingxuan, you can't just stand by and watch me die, you must have a way to save me."

When Dong Baishang met Duan Tingxuan's cold and stern gaze, for some reason, her heart skipped a beat with unease. She continued loudly, "Duan Tingxuan, I saved your life, have you forgotten?"

Duan Tingxuan took out the jade pendant. "I already know everything. This is the Su family's jade pendant. You have falsely claimed the life-saving favor."

"Dong Baishang, you deserve to die."

Dong Baishang's face turned deathly pale. She had been interrogated earlier by a superhuman using secret techniques, and it seemed that she had told him everything she knew.

She herself wasn't entirely clear on what exactly she said.

Unexpectedly, Duan Tingxuan found out.

“Miss Su saved you, but you stole her things. Is this how you treat your savior? And you even falsely claim her life-saving favor.”

Dong Baishang laughed out loud, "She saved me? That was charity. She saves people everywhere, but it's all an act. She's just doing it for show."

When Dong Baishang said these words, there was a look of jealousy in her eyes. When she was a child, she was in a sorry state and was rescued by Su Muyao. At first, she was indeed grateful, but later she was only jealous. She was jealous of why Su Muyao knew so much, why she dressed so well, and why she was pampered by everyone.

She had no status in the Dong family and was persecuted by her half-sisters.

She only stole her jade pendant and did nothing else; she did nothing wrong.

Seeing Dong Baishang's distorted expression, Duan Tingxuan didn't want to look, so he closed his eyes and said, "Tell me about her back then, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Dong Baishang fell silent, seemingly lost in thought, and said in a low voice, "When I met Miss Su, she was about seven or eight years old. I was persecuted by my family and seriously injured, but my father risked his life to give me a chance to escape. However, I was only ten years old at the time and couldn't run very fast. I was also injured and eventually collapsed by the roadside. Her carriage happened to be passing by and saved me..."

"She was so beautiful, and she even personally applied medicine and bandaged my wound."

"Duan Tingxuan, I know you regret it. Now you realize how good she is and regret forcibly canceling the engagement with her."

"If I were a male, I would also like her, and I would never leave her."

“But I am a female, so I can only be jealous of her, but I never thought of harming her.”

"After I returned to Beast King City, I saw Miss Su once. I found that half of her face was disfigured and her personality was completely different from when she was a child. I felt something was wrong."

"She's different from before; she's not the same person she used to be."

"But at the palace banquet, I saw Miss Su again, and I felt that she was now the same as she was when she was a child."

Dong Baishang felt that something was wrong, but she didn't understand what had happened.

“I heard Liu Mengyan mention something about soul possession. Sometimes I think that Miss Su might have been possessed back then, which is why she became vicious and ugly. That’s why I didn’t feel guilty when I approached you at that time.”

“I heard from the jailer that she is now helping disaster victims outside the city. I can confirm that she is the same person she was when she was a child.”

"However, Duan Tingxuan, you are no longer qualified to be by her side. For a female, if you did not choose her and abandoned her during the most difficult and arduous time, you have lost all qualifications, not to mention that she is so wonderful."

"When she was a child, she saved many beastmen. She never asked for anything in return. For the male beastmen, she would send them to the clinic for treatment out of concern for their reputation. For the female beastmen, she would treat some of them herself..."

In fact, Dong Baishang was always conflicted. Sometimes she wished she were male so that she could love the person who saved her life when she was a child.

But she was a female, and she had a grudge to avenge. Her father was killed by her mother's first beastly husband, and she almost died as well. She wanted to go back and take revenge, but her abilities were limited. At that time, a man in black appeared and said he could help her take revenge. Later, she learned that the man in black was Liu Mengyan's man.

There are some things she has to do as Liu Mengyan tells her to do.

"For some reason, Liu Mengyan knows a lot of things, including your whereabouts, and can deliberately create opportunities for me to bump into you."

"Liu Mengyan also wanted me to get your essence blood, but I didn't give it to her."

“I gave her fake blood.”

At this point, Dong Baishang suddenly burst into laughter, laughing like a madman. As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Liu Mengyan targeted all of Miss Su's male lovers, trying to seduce them, but only Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye were seduced by her, while Wen Nanxi and the others remained unmoved."

"Therefore, Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye are absolutely not qualified to appear by Miss Su's side again, let alone one sending someone to attack Miss Su and the other insulting Miss Su all day long for Liu Mengyan. Ha, how ridiculous."

When Dong Baishang talked about this, she also expressed her strong dislike for Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye.

Little did Duan Tingxuan know that as he listened to these words, he felt dizzy, as if some thunder was booming in his ears.

Possession?
So the person she was back then wasn't the real her; she was just possessed?
The term "body snatching" is extremely unfamiliar; it's a supernatural technique used only by powerful cultivators in ancient times.

There were only a few words about it in ancient books, and he wouldn't have thought of it that way if Dong Baishang hadn't brought it up now.

Has she finally recovered?
