“Which mother doesn't want to be there for her children as they grow up? The fact that you haven't heard of the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable in later generations already tells you my fate. How could I bear to keep you by my side to perish with me?”
“I know I'm not a qualified mother, and now I don't have the opportunity to make up for it. I don't ask for your forgiveness. I'll be content as long as you grow up healthy and happy.”
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable's voice was very gentle, with a faint smile on her face. Her gaze towards the four sisters had been so tender from the beginning.
“No opportunity to make up for it, what do you mean?”
The four sisters suddenly looked at the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable with great anxiety.
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable said gently, “I already said, I'm just a wisp of thought attached to the Demon Sealing List, a trace of obsession. Now that I've seen you, the obsession has dissipated, and naturally I must disappear.”
“You're a Celestial Venerable, can't you be resurrected?”
Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
“My true self perished together with the Great Peng Celestial Venerable, my physical body destroyed, and my divine soul dissipated. Even a Celestial Emperor can't resurrect me,” the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable explained softly.
At this moment, the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable's figure suddenly became much dimmer. In the distance, one could see through her body and see the scenery behind her.
“There's not much time left. I wanted to chat with you more, but it seems I can't,” she said with a gentle smile.
“No, you can't just die like this. If you die like this, what about the bloodline curse on us?”
Tian Xiaoxiao said anxiously.
“Bloodline curse?” The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable was taken aback.
Tian Xiaoxiao told her about their encounter with the Great Peng Ancient Crown Prince, and then Tian Zhengzheng added, “The clan's records state that the ancestors of the Celestial Serpent Clan and the Great Peng Ancient Clan made a blood oath, making their descendants eternal enemies.”
After hearing this, the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable couldn't help but chuckle and asked, “Do I look like such an unreliable person?”
“Hard to say, you even thought of sending your daughters to the future.”
Tian Xiaoxiao muttered.
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable not only didn't get angry when she heard Tian Xiaoxiao's mutter, but smiled even more happily.
“Are you finally willing to acknowledge me as your mother?” she asked.
“……”
It was the four sisters' turn to be silent.
Now that things had come to this, they had confirmed that the woman in front of them was their mother, but…
Seeing this, the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable didn't mind and said, “I wouldn't do anything to harm my descendants, and the Great Peng Celestial Venerable is too proud to do such a thing.”
“Then why do we have this strange feeling?” Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
“Silly girl, I am the ancestor of the Celestial Serpent Clan, but for the later generations of the Celestial Serpent Clan, there are many ancestors. As long as the cultivation reaches the Supreme, they can impose a curse on the bloodline. The Celestial Serpent Clan and the Great Peng Clan were once glorious, isn't it reasonable for a few Celestial Kings to appear?”
The four sisters nodded silently. Suddenly, Tian Xiaoxiao remembered what Chu Nanfei had said to the Great Peng Ancient Crown Prince on Mount Qiandao.
“Golden Peng Celestial King!”
“That Chu Nanfei said that the Great Peng Ancient Crown Prince is a descendant of the Golden Peng Celestial King. Could the bloodline curse be related to him?”
Tian Xiaoxiao said.
“Perhaps it's related to him, but children, I can't help you anymore.”
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable's figure dimmed again. This wisp of obsession was about to dissipate.
“Are you going to leave us again?”
Tian Yuanyuan looked at the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable seriously.
“I'm sorry, I also want to make up for you, but…” The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable smiled bitterly. She had tried her best to maintain her figure, but the reason why obsession is called obsession is that there are unfinished matters. What she had been thinking about was seeing her children again. Now that she had seen them, the obsession had dissipated, and naturally she had no reason to exist.
“Hmph, you, as a mother, owe us so much, how can we let you just leave?” Tian Yuanyuan snorted coldly, unusually losing her composure.
“I'm sorry…”
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable could only say this, she really didn't know what to say.
“If 'I'm sorry' was useful, what would we need treasures for?”
Tian Xiaoxiao said something that was both true and false. The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable only took it as her being petty again, and just looked at her gently, without blaming her.
But the next moment, Tian Xiaoxiao took out a snakeskin bag that could be said to have an ugly appearance.
But the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable's expression was solemn. Although her strength was no longer there, her eyesight hadn't diminished. She could tell at a glance that this was a supreme treasure, an absolute supreme treasure. Even the Demon Sealing List was like ordinary material in front of it.
“This is the Qiankun bag that Senior Uncle gave us. It can hold anything, and the time inside is static. Please don't resist. When I put you in, we will have the opportunity to find Senior Uncle and ask him if he can resurrect you.”
Tian Xiaoxiao explained the function of the Qiankun bag in a gentle voice.
“This was given to you by your Senior Uncle?” the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable asked.
“Yes!”
The four sisters nodded together.
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable looked ashamed and said, “I seem to have become a frog in a well, still thinking that your Senior Uncle's cultivation is about the same as mine.”
“It's normal for you to think that way, because no one knows what realm Senior Uncle is in, including our master,” Tian Zhengzheng said.
“Is that so? Who is your master?” the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable asked again.
“Our master is Senior Uncle's Dao companion,” they replied.
“I see.” The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable nodded, and then wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Tian Xiaoxiao.
“Oh, don't ask anymore, if you ask again, you'll really disappear, come in quickly,” Tian Xiaoxiao said anxiously. The other three sisters also looked at the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable with nervous expressions.
Seeing their nervous expressions, the Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable smiled happily instead, which meant they were worried about her.
“You can still laugh? Come in quickly.”
Tian Xiaoxiao pouted.
“Okay!”
The Celestial Serpent Demon Venerable entered the Qiankun bag without hesitation.
“Phew!”
The four sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Tian Xiaoxiao carefully put the Qiankun bag into her divine sea, and then looked at her three older sisters, and said, “This isn't a dream, is it?”
“Ouch, what are you doing?”
Just after she finished speaking, Tian Xiaoxiao cried out in pain. She glared at her third sister, Tian Zhengzheng, and then rubbed her butt. She had just been pinched hard by her third sister.
“Does it hurt?” Tian Zhengzheng asked.
“Nonsense, try pinching me?” Tian Xiaoxiao curled her lips.
“If it hurts, then it's not a dream,” Tian Zhengzheng laughed.
“……” Tian Xiaoxiao.
I shouldn't have asked.
“So what do we do now?” Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
The three younger sisters looked at Tian Yuanyuan. Just as Tian Yuanyuan was about to speak, a familiar voice sounded.
“Welcome back, four little princesses, I am the Demon Sealing List!”
