He didn't tell her anything that would jeopardize her in any way, so why did he want her to forget all about it? Is she s'posed to freak out cause the guy whose been protecting her all this time, has actually just been protecting her all this time? Usually these "for your own good'' secrets have a little more bite and consequence to them

“If she had not occupied the body of “Shen Yanxiao”, then she would have always been an idiot.” Okay so normally I don’t particularly care much for extreme logic in these stories (unlike some commenters from a few hundred chapters ago, aka R3ader). But there is the common trend of “reincarnation” or “transmigration” where the MC (namely in Chinese and Japanese webnovels) never considers the fact that the person they view as the “previous host” was actually themself. Especially in the case of our lively SYX. It’s entirely possible that given the severity of a seal that can quite literally lock away a persons looks that SYX was is that “waste” as she calls it, given her intelligence couldve been locked away. Based on research I’ve done for my own writing the majority of children cannot actually develop memories until after 3 years of age as the brain is still developing in that regard. It would not be unreasonable to believe that SYX and other MC simply separate their previous lives from their current and see each as a different person and the previous life being the main identity as they generally have lived longer in said previous life when they enter their current. Anyways, it’s entirely possible not to mention the frequent high fevers as a child especially an infant probably resulted in a bit of brain damage. Xiu making his presence known to save the MC from the Snow Fox or whatever couldve jolted her brain in a way that allowed her to regain general cognitive function. Ignore my iffy semi logically rant on possiblities regards to hidden lore and what I personally like to believe happened XD Read more

@Symmetrica It's called "Princess Charming"

Maybe that mysterious person is the dean ouyang huanyu and the warlocks put Xiu inside her with the other blood from different races. And then SS recued her and sealed the blood, which took a lot of power so he became small.

Her parents' corpse were not recovered... hmmmm...

Shen shiyo from god race also???

Even though as is trying to get all mysterious.. when he got a curious guy that will pursue until they satisfied like syx...he just needs to hide and don't show up heh

So maybe BSP people took her away, and SS saved her and sealed her powers with the Elves help to hide her from BSP people then brought her back? Hmph..Cant wait to know.

what about her mother family? we know nothing about them

If whomever saved her was a bad person, he would have let Shen Duan kill her instead of save her...unless they wanted to use her. And if they wanted to use her then they wouldn't have sealed her ? So, I'm guessing Shen Siyu sealed her so she couldn't be used & the reason why he was so nice is cause he felt guilty for doing it. Arg idkkkk

I think SS was the one who sealed X in her body....he turned little because he lost some of his powers and needed to replenish it like the VB...
