Chapter 167

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen felt his blood run cold. He had nearly been devoured by that monster last night! Observing Yang Chen’s reaction, Brother Chuyi continued. He explained that the Xiaohui they had seen at her home earlier that day was merely a work in progress. The reason she hadn't emerged for so long was that her father had been inside the room stuffing her with flesh. He had gone too far, however, and Xiaohui’s consciousness had begun to slip out of his control, eventually breaking free from his command entirely. Her skin had been stretched tight, signifying that she had been "resurrected" in the complete sense. As for why her physical body had to be burned, it was because the body and the entity were fundamentally one. Simply put, the body served as Xiaohui’s heart. By keeping it in the coffin, the father was essentially guarding her heart; once the physical form was destroyed, the entity would no longer possess such great power.
