Chapter 8: Origin of the Chu Family
"By then I was already determined to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and become a great general like him. So I fought every war fiercely and won each one. At the age of fourteen, I was already leading troops to the battlefield alone and was called the ’Little General.’ My grandfather retired and gave his title of general to his son, my father, but my father and I were stationed in different parts of the border. I guarded the Northern border while he was in the west."
"Until I was eighteen when the three surrounding kingdoms waged war on us after learning of my grandfather’s retirement. I led troops to battle and died there. Even though I made sure we won the war before my death."
"I thought I was on my way to reincarnate but when I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital two days ago. At first, I thought I had possessed the body of a dead person until I processed everything and remembered the prophecy that the priestess prophesied when I was nine."
"I dismissed my situation as a possession since I have all the memories of both lives. My soul has also completely fused with the body, which is not possible without a soul-calming stone. It was only after doing research in the library in the space this afternoon that I understood what had happened. The other part of my missing soul is in this body and it was that part that guided me through time and space to get here. I am the Chu Yue of ancient times, and I am also the Chu Miao of the modern era. Do you understand now?" She asked as she filled another cup of tea and drank in one gulp.
"Daughter-in-law, do you remember when Bunny was nine years old, and she suddenly fainted in school, and doctors couldn’t tell what was wrong with her? She was in a coma for seven days before she woke up and was as energetic as ever. As if nothing had happened?" Grandfather Chu suddenly said. When he finished talking, it was as if a gate had been opened; everyone connected the dots with Chu Yue’s cultivation and incomplete soul theory.
"I remember Father, we even invited a Taoist priest who said the problem was not physical but with the soul, but he said she would be fine."
"Indeed, I remember that occurrence too. It scared everyone." It was Chu Mo who added.
"Bunny, you said the accident was an accident but also fate, what does that mean?" Chu Hao remembered this point.
"According to the records, the soul in a different time and space can only guide the other part if both bodies die at the same time. So, when I died on the battlefield in ancient times, I also died here after the car accident; it was the only way for the soul to leave the body for a short time and guide the other part so it could become complete and return to the body. It is only a short duration and the doctors may not even notice it, or I may flat line for a moment and stabilize the next."
