Chapter 314: Bai Suzhen: My Identity Isn't Ordinary?! (9/9, please subscribe)

Zhang Taixuan: "Miss Bai, do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'ordinary'?"

Bai Suzhen: "I'm really just an ordinary snake-type yao."

Su Xiao: "I remember some fan-fiction novels write that Sister Bai is a descendant of the Tianshe. Haven't you inherited the Tianshe's bloodline?"

Bai Suzhen: "Who wrote that?! How could that be possible? Whether I have any bloodline or not—after cultivating for seventeen hundred years, could I really not know!"

Su Xiao: "You don't? Then that's strange. Looking at it this way, Sister Bai, you really are very ordinary. Taixuan-ge, are you really not injured?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Good grief, it's your brain that didn't click—you actually dare suspect I'm so injured I'm confused. Didn't I say it before? Miss Bai entered Lishan Old Mother's dojo and listened to the Dao!"

Xiaomai: "Didn't Miss Bai say this is very ordinary? There are plenty of people and yao who've listened to the Dao!"

Zhang Taixuan: "When Sun Wukong cultivated at Three Star Cave, he had plenty of junior and senior brothers too. Can you say Sun Wukong was ordinary?"

Su Xiao: "That's not the same, right? Sun Wukong was born a Stone Monkey, and he's the personal disciple of Bodhi Patriarch—his status is vastly different. Sister Bai only went to listen to the Dao a few times; her status is very far from the Monkey's."

Zhang Taixuan: "@Hu Yifei, come, tell them about how many identities Lishan Old Mother has."

Hu Yifei: "Let me search it up—mythology and legends are my weak spot. If I don't look it up, I really wouldn't know clearly."

Hu Yifei: "Found it—Lishan Old Mother has multiple identities. One identity is a regional vassal king of the Qin lands during the Shang-Zhou period; later identities became conflated with Doumu Yuanjun and Nüwa."

Hu Yifei: "In legend, Qin Shi Huang once tried to flirt with Lishan Old Mother and was punished for it. Because of that, Lishan Old Mother afterward mostly appeared in the guise of an old woman."

Xiaomai: "Wow, big news. @Ying Zheng @Ying Zheng No. 2, did you really flirt with Lishan Old Mother?"

Ying Zheng: "Nonsense."

Ying Zheng No. 2: "Think about it—it's impossible too. Our side is an ordinary world, with no figures from mythology and legends! What's going on with this search? It makes me sound like some kind of pervert."

Xiong Ba: "Wasn't it though? I remember emperors all had three palaces and six courtyards."

Ying Zheng: "Slander. The three palaces and six courtyards only came about in the Ming-Qing period. How could my Qin Dynasty have had that? Don't assume I haven't read the history books."

Ying Zheng No. 2: "Exactly. Although our imperial palace didn't lack people either, it wasn't that many."

Su Xiao: "Aren't we talking about Sister Bai's identity right now? How did you guys drag this over to the harem?!"

Hu Yifei: "If what I searched up is true, then the mythological origin of Lishan Old Mother really does go back a long way."

Zhang Taixuan: "Lishan Old Mother is undoubtedly an ancient great god. In Journey to the West, during the Four Saints Test the Zen Mind, Lishan Old Mother transformed into a mother. If her identity and strength were too low, how would she qualify to play the mother?"

Ye Hei: "Indeed. Even in our mythology and legends, seniority and morality are emphasized—not like Brother Han's side where strength rules. If one's strength is lacking, who would really dare to transform into someone else's elder?"

Lin Fengjiao: "No—if the gap in strength is too great, they probably can't even play together. Lishan Old Mother is at minimum on par with existences like Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas; her upper limit is unknown."

Bai Suzhen: "Old Mother's lofty status has nothing to do with a mere registered disciple like me, right?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Lishan Old Mother's identity is sometimes conflated with Nüwa. What kind of mythological figure is Nüwa?"

Su Xiao: "Human head, snake body! Huh, could this be the reason?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Pretty much! Nüwa has a human head and snake body, so naturally she takes extra care of snake-types. Miss Bai listened to the Dao at her dojo and was greatly favored by her—this is the origin of the later story."

Zhang Taixuan: "Lishan Old Mother's status is lofty, her divine powers vast. Anyone she values—who among the Buddhist or Daoist factions wouldn't give her some face? Miss Bai, you don't think just anyone could go to the Antarctic Immortal Elder's place to steal lingzhi immortal grass and then walk away alive, do you?"

Bai Suzhen: "So that's how it is. I always thought becoming an immortal was a scheme, but it turns out it was Old Mother's favor (acei)!"

In eighteen years, four people became immortals—three of them are Bai Suzhen's kin!

What a lineup that is!

Moreover, how could the reincarnation of the Wenqu Star descend into the belly of a wild snake yao?
