The green python looked at the silver ring, its expression complex, carrying a hint of unspoken sorrow. Fate had played a cruel trick; now, he and she were practically unrelated.
"Su Yi, the three of you go over there and take a look." The Azure Python remained silent for a long time before finally speaking to send the other three demons away.
After Qingmang was imprisoned, Su Yi and the others noticed that his attitude towards Yinhuan was somewhat strange; he seemed more concerned about Yinhuan than they were. Throughout the journey, he completely followed Yinhuan's lead. No matter what unreliable opinions Yinhuan offered, he accepted them without a single objection.
Demons are always perceptive; they can see through sincerity and pretense at a glance.
Therefore, they had allowed the Green Python to make the decisions along the way. Now, seeing that the Green Python seemed to have something to say to Silver Ring alone, the three of them exchanged glances, nodded, and disappeared from the spot in a flash, leaving the space to Silver Ring and the Green Python.
Night was painted with thick black ink, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Silver Ring stared directly at the green python, waiting quietly.
The blue python lowered its head. After a long while, it bent down, kneeling on one knee at the hem of the silver-ringed skirt, its face filled with unprecedented piety.
"You are my master, and the one I will follow for life. Luo Mang and I are brothers..."
The green python slowly and deliberately told Silver Ring everything he knew. His childhood friendship with Luo Mang, which later turned into enmity because of a drop of blood essence... He revealed everything without hiding a single detail.
After hearing Qingmang's words, Yinhuan clenched her small forehead, her chest heaving rapidly, and said somewhat uneasily, "Am I really Nuwa? No, if I am Nuwa, how come I don't know it myself?"
The Azure Python said, "Because you haven't awakened. For some reason, both you and Luo Mang encountered unexpected obstacles on your path to awakening. Although Luo Mang is now a Teng Snake, he doesn't possess the strength of a Teng Snake. As for you, although your Dharma body has manifested, you..."
Qingmang was also unclear about the matter of Silver Ring's awakening. He only learned about it from Huo Fei through telepathy when he left the prison.
Moreover, she seemed to lack even some of the common sense inherent to demons. Otherwise, given her half-human, half-beast form, she should have already become suspicious. But she believed it was a mistake caused by the tribulation lightning, a result of an anomaly.
The green python didn't finish its sentence, but Silver Ring understood its meaning. Essentially, it meant that while its identity was incredibly powerful, it lacked the strength to match.
"Hehe..." Yin Huan laughed awkwardly, still somewhat disbelieving. She shook her head, her little face contorted: "Are you mistaken? I don't look like Nuwa at all."
"There's no mistake. If you're not, then why did Luo Mang awaken as a Teng Snake, and why are you in this form?" The Azure Python firmly believed that the Silver Ring was Nuwa, his master.
Silver Ring lowered its head, glanced at its little arms and tail, then squatted down and picked up a clod of mud from the ground, holding it in its hand.
She stared blankly at the clay in her hands, then exclaimed in horror, "I am Nuwa, the Nuwa who created humans from clay..."
After saying that, she squeezed the mud hard with her little hands, as if trying to convince herself. After squeezing for a while, Yinhuan opened her little hands, revealing the mud in them, tilted her head, and said to Qingmang, "I don't know how to play with mud."
The green python said, "You haven't awakened."
The green python's matter-of-fact tone suddenly stirred up the hidden resistance deep within Yin Huan's heart. She abruptly looked up, excitedly saying, "Regardless of whether she's awakened or not, Nuwa is a saint with profound magical power. She can not only create humans but also mend the sky. Even if she hasn't awakened, she wouldn't be like me. Look at me, look closely, I'm a demon, right... But three months ago, I didn't even know I was a demon. Have you ever seen a demon who doesn't know demonic arts? I am, I am that demon who doesn't know demonic arts. Up until now, I only know one illusion technique and one teleportation technique. I can't even wield my brother's snake whip. Do you think someone like me could be Nuwa?"
Yin Huan finished speaking in one breath, and even though Qing Mang clearly told her that she was Nuwa, she still refused to believe it. For some reason, she hated others' recognition of her identity.
This feeling came very suddenly.
In prison, she had just found the image of Nuwa on her phone and immediately compared the tail to the image, trying to find differences between them. At that moment, she subconsciously felt a resistance to Nuwa.
But she wasn't stupid. The facts told her that even if she wasn't Nuwa, she must have some connection with Nuwa. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to return to Fuding Mountain to find the truth.
Yin Huan took a couple of breaths to calm herself down, then squatted down beside Qing Mang, trying to persuade him: "Qing Mang, I don't know what's going on between you and my brother. You said you and he have the bloodline of the Teng Snake and are my guardian beasts. But... the Teng Snake bloodline isn't necessarily meant to protect Nuwa. I'm not Nuwa, but I don't deny that there's some kind of connection between me and Nuwa, and between you and my brother. You should know this, but don't tell anyone else. We'll find the truth slowly. This time I went back to Fuding Mountain to see where I was born; maybe there will be clues there."
Looking at the fickle silver ring, hesitation flashed in the green python's eyes. He felt her emotions were too strange. Just now, the fleeting look of disgust in her eyes seemed...
The green python narrowed its eyes and said softly, "Yes, go and find the truth. Only when you are fully awakened can your identity be confirmed."
Alright, let's keep her calm for now. Since she's unwilling to face it, let's wait and see. Once she awakens, she'll naturally acknowledge this identity.
Strange, what exactly happened between her and Luo Mang?
Luo Mang swallowed the essence of the inheritance, but was unable to fully receive it, while she manifested her Dharma body but did not awaken... The answer to this matter will probably only be known when the two of them return to normal.
