Terrible but Great Misunderstanding

'Evil baby? Why does his voice feel deeper than his usual voice?'

Ren Qian came out of his cultivation after that thought.

A boy came from the shadows.

His face looked scarred on one side and smooth on the other side. Both his eyes were blood-red.

When he saw the 'culprit'. He was about to charge straight at him , but when he saw his face,

"Silly boy?", he called out, this time he was speaking.

Ren Qian smiled, "It seems you have forgotten me".

The evil baby quickly dispelled his attack and went closer to him to make sure it wasn't an illusion.

"I thought you had died in the new Soul Merge's energy", the little boy concealed the happiness in his eyes and spoke calmly.

"new Soul Merge's energy?", Ren Qian said out loud.

So that was where he was.

Ren Qian came to the realization that the energy he had been tasked to be protect had run rampant in the host's body.

Another thing he found out was that time moved extremely slowly in the new Soul Merge's energy where he was

He looked apologetically at the evil baby, (now a boy)

If he had not lost consciousness, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened, and things would not have escalated to this level.

The boy could naturally guess Ren Qian's thoughts so he said, "Silly boy, you are not at fault. It was bound to happen."

Ren Qian suddenly looked up at the boy,

"So, what is your name?"

He snorted, "You mean the host's name?"

Ren Qian nodded eagerly, waiting to hear what name had been given to the host.

"His name is Dimitri, named after his great-grandfather."

"How do you know that?", Ren Qian asked.

"I just know. Now, keep quiet and make sure you do everything quietly. I need rest."

Ren Qian nodded and when the boy disappeared, he began to absorb the surrounding energy whose attributes he had affinities to.

Meanwhile, deep within the domain, the little boy who was about to sleep on the shadow bed suddenly became highly alert.

'How can he absorb my demonic energy so fast? Wait, how is he even absorbing it?'

Absorbing demonic energy required a specific technique that extremely few people knew about.

In addition to that, from his knowledge of demonic energy, human souls could not absorb or use demonic energy but this…this was simply unbelievable.

'It seemed he had gained a lot from being stuck in that domain, huh', the boy thought.

He thought that Ren Qian might have stumbled upon a demonic technique in that domain. After all, it had his essence and most hybrid soul usually have treasures hidden within their domain. He nodded slightly, thinking of this possibility.

But, on second thoughts, such techniques were coveted treasures and it was impossible to find it lying down somewhere in the domain of a hybrid soul.

Then, he made a conjecture in his mind, albeit uncertain of it.

There were two categories of people who could absorb demonic energy;

Demon souls like him or The Chosen.

The Chosen were special categories of people who were favored by nature and the heavens.

"Is he a Chosen?"

He didn't know but he was going to slowly find out.

So, just like that, Ren Qian left a demonic soul pondering over who exactly he was.

A terribly wrong misunderstanding, but a convenient one.
