Chapter 492: 492: Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri
Underground.
At the location where the legacy of the Primordial Poison Witch is waiting, Holy Witch Suzi, Elder Susan and the Qin Ancestor found the inheritance altar. Even though the altar itself was full of traps, with Elder Susan guessing the blueprint and patterns of all the traps, the three of them had worked together. Elder Susan was doing the most of dismantling, Holy Witch Suzi supporting her even so making a mistake in some parts but was fully protected by Qin Ancestor and her spear. They had worked on the traps for a whole hour before completely taking down everything.
After all work was done, Holy Witch Suzi fell seated on the ground panting while Elder Susan clasped her hand and slightly bowed her head towards the Qin Ancestor.
Elder Susan said, "Thank you for your protection, Qin Ancestor. Please feel free to take anything in here as repayment."
"I shall take your word for it. Don’t worry. I won’t take anything that is meant for you two sisters," said Qin Yao, the Qin Ancestor.
After saying these words, Qin Yao walks away from the altar and her help at this point seems to be not needed anymore. She looks around the rows of weapons to find one that suits her taste. Seeing her act this way, Elder Susan was truly grateful. In his eyes, this cool lady is much better than that scum whom his junior sister had fallen in love with.
When Elder Susa turned to look at his Shimei, she saw her staring at the Qin Ancestor as if love struck and didn’t even notice her looking at her. She couldn’t help but tease her.
She said, "The Qin Ancestor is better than your scum ex. She is a cool beauty and for a face-con like you, you would definitely like her face."
As expected, the face of the Holy Witch Suzi turned red as a ripe tomato and said, "Shijie, don’t tease me. Who said I like her? Hmp!"
She then heard her murmur, "But she is indeed cool."
Elder Susan couldn’t help but chuckle, making her junior sister pout even further as they walked towards the altar. Qin Ancestor sneaked a glance at them as she heard the Holy Witch exclaim. However, this only lasted for a while as the two approached the crest of the Tang Clan Sect before them. The two sisters looked at one another and made a cut on their finger then touched the crest on the altar’s wall.
The moment their blood touches the wall, the crest on it glows and a few ruins come out of it surrounding the two of them. Then in a certain area a part of the ruin created a human shape. Once the ruins disperse, the familiar beautiful yet sharp eyed mature lady appeared before the two.
The Holy Witch and Elder Susan upon seeing the face of the lady, they immediately recognize her. This is a face they would never forget in their whole life. She is their savior. Their mother, their master and the only person who had protected them until adulthood. The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri.
Tang Yuri’s image before them smiles at the two. It seems that this is a wisp of her soul and this also meant that this lady had been for a long time.
"My darling disciples... It’s been a long time. Suzi has finally reached Huashen Realm, not bad. Susan, so hard headed as always. Are you not playing to break through to the Huashen realm if not for finding this legacy I have left behind. So foolishly responsible. My oldest heir, you have gone great. Good work."
The two ladies couldn’t help but shed tears that were beyond their control. The Holy Witch Suzi hugs their masters and for some reason the wisp of soul had materialized at this moment. The Primordial Poison Witch was stunned at first but when she felt the moon energy that supported her soul at this moment she immediately knew who had helped her.
She didn’t think much for now and hugged her disciples. The two had cried in her embrace for a while until she told them to stop doing so.
Tang Yuri said, "Alright. You two are adults now. Stop crying, how cringy."
"Master, we can touch you. Does that mean you... you can still be saved?" Asked Elder Susan with excitement in her eyes and hope as well.
Tang Yuri said, "This is only a wisp of my soul. My original body and self had long been destroyed. You are too lucky to have that exalted one’s mercy and she saved me just because she felt like it."
Her real thoughts are: ’Must be an exchange for taking away the treasures she took before. However, no matter how much those things add up, it would still be less than what she had intentionally left behind. But those who are born from that bloodline had been known for their indifference, it’s strange that she is different from them despite being a pureblood. She must have a reason. Maybe I should ask if I have time.’
"Alright. Stop crying you two. Go ahead and accept the legacy I have left behind for both of you. These things will be the most helpful for you after you ascend to the Godly Realm or go to the Immortal World. We can talk later, take the legacy for now," said Tang Yuri as she asked her disciples to sit in meditation and gave them her legacy as a direct disciple from the Tang Clan Sect.
As the Holy Witch Suzi and Elder Susan sat in lotus form, the ruins around the altar had moved and entered their divine consciousness. They had to digest everything she had left behind for them. She left all her medical knowledge to her youngest disciple, Suzi while leaving most of her killing technique to her eldest disciple, Susan who is more mature than the youngest who is silly.
Of course, she had witnessed the whole scene of the Qin Ancestor helping her disciples the whole time and not becoming greedy for her legacy. Her plan was to kill her if she showed indication of wanting to steal her legacy from her two disciples. It can be said that between these three ladies, the Qin Ancestor’s battle prowess is cut above them. If she truly wishes to sneak an attack and kill her two disciples it would be easy for her.
However, she chose not to take away anything and instead helped and protected the two the whole time. She also didn’t ask much or took much. She only chooses what fits her and only touches books about plants and nothing else. Because of this honesty, the Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri, got interested in her.
Tang Yuri seeing her disciples busy with digesting her legacy, she flew towards the Qin Ancestor. The latter immediately stopped reading and clasped her hand greeting her politely without any hidden malice or intention. Just a casual and simple greeting to a senior of her figure.
Qin Yao saluted, "Qin Yao of the Qin Royal family greets the Primordial Poison Witch!"
Tang Yuri was a bit surprised that she recognized her. "Oh? You recognize me. Who is your ancestor?"
"I am Qin Yao. The last disciple of Qin Huangdi."
"Qin Huangdi? Oh! You are the Golden Lotus God King’s Descendant! However, that man had died after his dao companion had died from birth. You said you are his granddaughter. That would mean you have been living in this world for hundreds of years. It’s not possible for you to live that long!"
Feeling the pressure from the Primordial Poison Witch’s aura, the Qin Ancestor knew that she can’t hide anything before this senior. Thankfully, she seems to be a senior in a good relationship with her grandfather and grandmother.
The Qin Ancestor said, "Senior, please calm down and look at this first."
She took off her armor and exposed her back towards the Primordial Poison Witch. Tang Yuri was stunned when she saw the living golden lotus flower on her back that looks like a tattoo. However, this golden lotus flower is breathing.
The Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri, exclaimed when she saw such a living tattoo and said, "Flower Spirit’s Ritual of Sacrifice!!? The shape and color of petals. This is indeed that man’s Flower Spirit core. Are you telling me he had stripped his original vessel, gave you all his abilities and entered the state of rebirth. But for a Flower Spirit King, he can only be reborn as an ordinary flower spirit! Had he found his dao companion reincarnation to make such a sacrifice?"
After wearing back her clothes and armor, Qin Yao answered, "Yes. Both of them had been reborn. This time around... They had been connected by a life and death contract. If the Senior met them, you should be able to recognize them right away."
"That flower spirit in you, two thirds had been missing. I can assume the other third to be his reincarnation. Where is the last seed?" Tang Yuri asked.
She knew that Plant Spirits can be reborn as many times as they wanted as long as they keep a seed. The more seed it is, the weaker the original power it retains. It seems that God King Golden Lotus had split himself into three seeds. One in the possession of the lady before her, the other was his reincarnation in this timeline and one more which is missing.
A voice answered Tang Yuri’s question instead of Qin Yao.
"It’s with me. I love flowers because of this reason I have accepted the seed. Do you have a complaint?"
The one who spoke was none other than Yue Xuexia who appeared before them out of nowhere which startled both Qin Ancestor and the Primordial Poison Witch, Tang Yuri.
