Chapter 327 Mother and Daughter
Soon we saw Princess Sheng Yue coming to the gate of Matang. In addition to Qiongqi, there were six guards around Matang.
At this time, Princess Sheng Yue was holding a box of things in her hand. She first touched Qiongqi's head, and then called back all the secrets.
For a moment, only Princess Shengyue and Qiongqi were left around the Matang.
There seemed to be some ulterior motive between Princess Shengyue and Qiongqi. After leaving, Princess Shengyue still observed the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one, she slowly sat down beside Qiongqi.
"Hu'er, thank you for your hard work these days. When your mother eliminates all the remnants, she will take you back to Shengyuetai to live a peaceful life."
After hearing Princess Sheng Yue's words, I felt strange. Why did she call herself "mother" to Qiongqi?
But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t feel strange. After all, Princess Shengyue likes to raise divine beasts, and Qiongqi is the most rare divine beast under her. She was deeply loved by her thousands of years ago.
Back then, the Emperor of Fengdu sent Qiongqi to fight against Pluto, causing him to be taken away by Pluto's spiritual pill.
In order to find the Qiongqi Lingdan, Princess Shengyue even used the technique of occupying the heaven.
You should know that the only one who knows the technique of zodiac signing in the world is she and the Lord of the Gansi Palace. The technique of zodiac signing in the heavens has always been used to divine the overall situation of the underworld.
Princess Shengyue used such a rare opportunity to find Qiongqi Lingdan, which shows how important Qiongqi occupies in her heart.
Therefore, I think this "mother" should be just a close name between her and Qiongqi, and it does not mean that the relationship between her and Qiongqi is really a mother-son relationship.
Just as I was thinking this, an incredible scene appeared at the door of Ma Tang.
The Lord Shengyue Palace slapped Qiongqi's head three times, as if he had cast a spell on it, and a fire suddenly lit up on Qiongqi's back.
Then the fire spread to Qiongqi's whole body. When the fire disappeared, the huge beast Qiongqi turned into a human form, a thin red-haired girl.
When I saw this scene, Wang Zhenren and I were both shocked. At this time, I saw the red-haired girl transformed into Qiongqi snuggling beside Princess Shengyue and opened the box that Princess Shengyue just brought.
There were some exquisite pastries inside. The red-haired girl picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is really delicious."
Zhenren Wang and I were even more shocked. I couldn't help but say, "Is Qiongqi and her really a mother-son relationship? One of them is a human and the other is a divine beast. How is this possible..."
Zhenren Wang frowned and whispered: "No, Brother Yang, you are wrong. Princess Shengyue is not a human either. She is a nine-headed insect, and the blood of an ancient divine beast is already flowing in her body."
The meaning of Wang Zhenren is roughly that Princess Shengyue is a head of the Nine-Headed Worm, so she herself is also considered a divine beast.
As for why the nine-headed worm gave birth to Qiongqi, it can probably be explained by rumors from ancient times.
There is a saying that the dragon gives birth to nine sons and there is also a saying that the phoenix gives birth to peacocks and the peacock gives birth to a great roc, and each generation is worse than the other.
Therefore, the offspring of the Nine-headed worm may not be "worms".
I thought what he said made sense, so I nodded.
"In this way, it's no wonder that Princess Sheng Yue cared about Qiongqi so much before, and spent thousands of years to find Qiongqi's spiritual pill. It turns out that Qiongqi is her daughter.
But I don’t quite understand that since Qiongqi is Princess Sheng Yue’s daughter and has a human body, how could she usually show herself in the form of an animal?”
Wang Zhenren said: "From the situation just now, Princess Shengyue seemed to have cast a certain curse in Qiongqi's skills. Only after this curse is lifted can Qiongqi show himself to others as a human being.
Moreover, Princess Shengyue summoned all the secrets before she unraveled the curse, which shows that she did not want others to know that Qiongqi was her daughter."
I nodded thoughtfully.
"In theory, with Princess Shengyue's current status, she doesn't need to hide these from Yinma. Even if Princess Shengyue has a daughter spread, I believe no one in the underworld dares to comment."
Wang Zhenren said, "I'm afraid what he wants to hide is not something he wants, but someone else."
I frowned.
"You mean the Emperor of Fengdu?"
"Yes, Brother Yang, do you still remember the story told by the Ghost Buddha before. Thousands of years ago, the Emperor of Fengdu used tricks to deceive the nine-headed insects, causing them to kill each other and cut off eight heads.z.br
The remaining Princess Shengyue was unable to compete for the throne with the Emperor of Fengdu, so she had to compromise and become his adopted daughter.
For thousands of years, although Princess Shengyue has always followed the advice of the Emperor of Fengdu, the two of them are father and daughter, and their relationship with the outside world has always been very harmonious.
But the Emperor of Fengdu won the Nine-Headed Insects back then, it was a disgrace. Brother Yang, if you were the Nine-Headed Insects, would you be willing to stay under the Emperor of Fengdu forever?"
I understand what Wang Zhenren means.
"So, Princess Shengyue wanted to avenge the arrow that year, and her daughter should be related to it, so she concealed the truth and did not want the Emperor of Fengdu to know.
But just such a divine beast Qiongqi can cause another storm. You must know that the Nine-Headed Insect had a tie with Ziwei Xingsu when he had nine heads."
