Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 287: Possession

Duan Tingxuan’s eyes were wrapped in a thousand-year-old frost at this moment.

His usually calm and unruffled eyes were now surging with terrifying undercurrents, even a touch of crimson gathered at the corners.

"I don’t want to see her, but there are things I must get to the bottom of."

He actually mistook his savior, even implicated himself—such a ridiculous thing.

It was his own stupidity, mistaking his savior, there’s no one else to blame.

His voice trembled due to extreme anger, and his fingertips quivered as he spoke.

In his extreme rage, his whole body screamed with the intent to kill.

No matter how Dong Baishang treated him before, he never thought of harming her in the slightest, even if disappointed, even if cold-hearted, he never thought of hurting her or doing anything against her.

But at this moment, he was filled with killing intent.

Duan Tingshu looked at his big brother, worriedly asked, "Brother, you... you’re alright?"

"The ’Su’ character under this Jade Pendant is hidden within the pattern and is very small, it’s normal to overlook it."

"It’s all Dong Baishang’s fault, Miss Su saved her, yet she stole the pendant of her savior, showing how vile her nature is."

Although such Jade Pendants might be abundant for the Su Family, it led to a mistaken identity for Brother.

Ah, he felt sorry and regretful for Brother.

His brother and Miss Su missed their chance; there’s no way to mend it now.

Even if he figures out the truth, it won’t change anything.

But Duan Tingxuan insisted.

...

In the place where the Ministry of Justice held Dong Baishang, Duan Tingxuan met with her.

At this time, Dong Baishang was disheveled, looking utterly miserable.

Upon seeing Duan Tingxuan, she got up excitedly and rushed to the railing, "Duan Tingxuan, you’re here to save me, aren’t you?"

"I knew you would save me."

Duan Tingxuan coldly replied, "I’m not here to save you; I’m here to send you off one last time."

Dong Baishang, afraid of death, screamed, "No, no, I won’t die, Duan Tingxuan, you can’t sit by and do nothing, you must have a way to save me."

Faced with Duan Tingxuan’s cold and harsh gaze, for some reason, she felt an uneasy pang in her heart, she continued loudly, "Duan Tingxuan, I saved your life, have you forgotten?"

Duan Tingxuan took out the Jade Pendant, "I’ve learned everything, this is the Su Family’s pendant, you falsely claimed the merit of saving me."

"Dong Baishang, you deserve to die."

Dong Baishang turned pale; earlier she was interrogated, a Superpower User used a Secret Technique on her, she seemed to have revealed everything she knew.

What exactly she said, she wasn’t even sure.

She hadn’t expected Duan Tingxuan to find out.

"Miss Su saved you, yet you stole her things, this is how you treat your savior, you even falsely claimed the merit of saving a life."

Dong Baishang laughed, "Saved me, it was charity, she saved people everywhere, all just for show, she did it deliberately for others to see."

While saying this, envy gleamed in her eyes.

When she was young and miserable, Su Muyao had saved her; at first, she was grateful, but later there was only envy—envy of why Su Muyao knew so much, why she dressed so well, why she was adored by everyone.

While she had no status in the Dong Family, even persecuted by her half-sisters.

All she did was steal one pendant, nothing else; she was not really wrong.

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

Dong Baishang quieted down, then softly began, "When I saw Miss Su, she was around seven or eight years old, I was persecuted at home, severely injured, but my father bought me a chance to escape with his life, I fled but was only ten, couldn’t run fast and was wounded, collapsed by the roadside, her carriage happened to pass and she saved me..."

"She was so beautiful, even personally applied medicine, bandaged my wounds."

"Duan Tingxuan, I know you regret it, you now see her goodness, regret canceling your engagement with her."

"Actually, if I were male, I would also like her, I would never leave her."

"But I’m female, I can only envy her, though I never thought of harming her."

"When I returned to the Beast Emperor City, once I saw Miss Su, I found half her face ruined, personality completely different from childhood, I felt something was off."

"She was not the same, not who she used to be."

"But at the palace banquet, I saw today’s Miss Su again, and she seemed to match more closely with her younger self."

Dong Baishang felt something wasn’t right, but couldn’t understand what had truly happened.

"I heard Liu Mengyan talk about soul possession, sometimes I think perhaps Miss Su was possessed, thus turning vile and ugly, so back then I approached you without guilt."

"I heard from the jailer that she’s now outside the city aiding disaster victims, I’m certain today’s version of her is the same one from childhood."

"But Duan Tingxuan, you no longer have the right to be by her side, for a female, when she’s at her most difficult and suffering, if you didn’t choose her and abandoned her, you’ve lost all qualification, especially since she’s so wonderful."

"She saved many Beastmen as a child, she didn’t expect them to repay her kindness, as for male Beastmen, for their reputation, she had them sent to clinics for treatment, whereas female Beastmen, some she treated personally..."

In fact, Dong Baishang had long been conflicted inside, sometimes hoping she were male so she could like her childhood savior.

But she was female, she still held grudges, her father was killed by her mother’s first Beast Husband, she nearly died too, she wanted revenge but lacked the ability, then a man in black appeared offering help for revenge, later she learned he was under Liu Mengyan.

Some things she had to follow Liu Mengyan’s instructions to do.

"For some reason, Liu Mengyan knows a lot, knows your whereabouts, can deliberately create opportunities for accidental encounters between you and me."

"Liu Mengyan also wanted me to obtain your Essence Blood, which I didn’t give her."

"I gave her fake blood."

Saying this, Dong Baishang suddenly laughed like a madwoman, laughing, tears streamed from her eyes.

"Liu Mengyan targeted all Beast Husbands around Miss Su, tried to seduce them, only Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye were lured, Wen Nanxi and the others were unmoved."

"So Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye absolutely have no right to appear by Miss Su’s side anymore, not to mention one sent people to harm Miss Su, the other daily insults her on Liu Mengyan’s behalf, huh, truly laughable."

Dong Baishang expressed her disdain for Jiang Mochuan and Yan Zhaoye.

Little did she know, Duan Tingxuan felt dizzy hearing these words, as if a shockwave thundered beside him.

Possession?

So the former her was not the real her, merely possessed?

The word ’possession’ was extremely unfamiliar, an ancient magic that only Great Powers in remote history could perform.

Only sparse writings in Ancient Books had brief mentions of it; if not for Dong Baishang mentioning it now, he wouldn’t have thought in that direction.

Has today’s her finally returned?
