Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Midnight Soul Departure (Part 8)
He couldn’t feel Jiaojiao’s presence in this body anymore.
Although this body was as warm as ever, he just couldn’t sense Jiaojiao’s presence in her.
Xiu Xi was horrified.
At this moment, his expression was almost uncontrollably twisted.
He climbed out of bed, disregarding the fact that it was midnight, and rushed wildly throughout the entire building, quickly waking everyone up.
Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo were startled awake by him banging on the door. Ruan Jianguo hadn’t even fallen asleep yet; his sudden entry scared him so much that he shivered and almost rolled off the bed.
Shu Jiao was also dazed for several seconds before slowly reacting, looking at him with confusion. Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, her temples throbbed with an ominous premonition.
"Xiaoxi? What’s going on?"
"Jiaojiao is gone; her soul has departed her body." Xiu Xi replied coldly.
At that moment, the aura around him was even harder to conceal. He was filled with immense regret for being careless. Jiaojiao was wary of water and afraid of it; surely, it was the incident during the day that frightened her, causing her soul to depart when he wasn’t home!
"What do you mean?" On the other side, Ruan Hao also stepped out, his face equally grave.
Jiaojiao had cheated fate to get her life back. The last fatal incident allowed her to come back from the brink,
Considered a stroke of luck.
Humans have three souls and seven spirits, and the Master had specifically locked one soul in her body to prevent her from truly dying. Therefore, her soul, condensed in a cat’s body now, only has two souls, making her soul much more fragile than others.
Even encountering a normal soul could potentially devour her, let alone other possible anomalies.
In short, Jiaojiao’s soul is now floating outside, and if it’s not found quickly, the consequences could be unimaginable!
Upon hearing Xiu Xi’s explanation, the Ruan Family was utterly bewildered. They thought all disasters had passed, but little did they know something like this awaited them.
Thinking back to the scare Jiaojiao endured today, Shu Wen was overwhelmed with remorse; her face turned particularly grim.
Her resentment towards Jiang Bin also deepened; if Jiaojiao really met harm because of this, she definitely wouldn’t let him off!
Jiaojiao’s midnight soul departure threw the entire Ruan Family into chaos. Xiu Xi practically searched the entire estate but couldn’t find Jiaojiao’s soul, his expression growing even darker because this meant she could unconsciously drift away. Beidu was unfamiliar to her, and her chances of finding her way back were extremely slim.
——
Jiaojiao realized she was in a strange place, snuggled up asleep in a corner. The early hours of October were slightly chilly, so she rubbed her arms, instinctively reaching out with her little paws to grab a blanket, but came up empty.
With some confusion, she opened her eyes and saw herself in an unfamiliar place, lying on something other than a soft bed, with Xiu Xi’s familiar presence absent.
Where was this?
A gust of night wind blew, waking Jiaojiao up instantly.
She stood up from the ground, looked down, and discovered that she was in human form instead of a cat.
Was she restored?
Wasn’t it supposed to take eighty-one days?
It seemed not even a quarter of the time had passed.
Jiaojiao was quite bewildered. She glanced at the surroundings and found this place completely unrecognizable.
