Chapter 405: Mother-Daughter Affection, Saint

~7 min read 1,353 words

Before Tang An were exactly the Primordial Spirits of Susu and Pilanpo.

And as Pilanpo's Primordial Spirit recovered, it had already begun to gradually change into the appearance of her grandmother.

That grandmother who was still relatively young in her childhood memories...

"Grandmother."

Tang An ran over to hug her, but because her grandmother was only a Primordial Spirit, she instantly lunged into empty air.

After lunging into empty air, Tang An turned around; her grandmother's Primordial Spirit was still floating there quietly, motionless.

She squatted down and hugged herself tightly.

She told herself that she was now an immortal with Half-Saint cultivation, and also the Guardian supporting the future safety of the Three Realms. She had to be strong; she couldn't cry.

But she really... really couldn't control it.

She was really so tired in this world; she envied Yang Jian and Yang Chan being able to reunite with their relatives. She also wanted that three thousand years of loneliness to have family to accompany her.

Seeing this, Houtu Niangniang sighed with emotion and helplessness.

She was just a child over twenty years old, shouldering such a heavy burden; how could she not be tired, and how could she not need a spiritual support.

"Forget it, Pilanpo's Primordial Spirit is incomplete and cannot wake up yet."

"Let the two of you meet in advance."

Houtu Niangniang condensed rich Earth Power in her hand, then flicked it into the brow of Susu's Primordial Spirit.

Susu's appearance faded rapidly, and after changing twice, it turned into a third appearance.

Tang An was immersed in the pain of missing her relatives and didn't hear clearly what Houtu said.

Until a figure came before her and squatted down.

Tang An subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar yet strange face.

She was also sizing up Tang An; her eyes were happy, gratified, and full of heartache and longing.

Tang An's eyes filled with tears, her lips trembling as she called out several times before she managed to call out, "Mom?"

That call, her throat was hoarse, almost soundless.

Tang Zhenzhu stroked Tang An's cheek, although she couldn't touch Tang An. But that kind of sincere caress, Tang An could feel.

"Our An'an has grown so big?" Tang Zhenzhu was only a soul body; she had no tears. But if she had tears, she would definitely be tearful at this moment.

"Mom?"

Tang Zhenzhu nodded, "Mom is here, Mom is here."

"Mom..." This call, with thousands of emotions, made Tang Zhenzhu, as a mother, feel her heart ache to death.

Tang An went to hug Tang Zhenzhu, but unfortunately, she could only look and not hug.

"Is it a dream?"

"Or a heart demon?"

"Is this real?"

Tang An even thought she had appeared in some heart demon illusion again.

Houtu Niangniang condensed the power of the Six Paths Disk, giving the mother and daughter a chance to touch each other.

"Her Primordial Spirit was forcibly awakened; for the sake of her Primordial Spirit's safety, I can only give you at most a quarter of an hour to spend together."

Until Tang Zhenzhu's hand truly touched Tang An's face, Tang An finally dared to believe that the cold touch was real and no longer illusory.

Tang Zhenzhu opened her arms and hugged Tang An, "It's Mom's fault; Mom is sorry for you."

Tang An cried into a tearful person, shaking her head continuously.

Their mother-daughter hug, delayed for more than twenty years, was actually in the Underworld's Six Paths Disk.

"It's me who is sorry for you; it's me who harmed you." Tang An had always blamed all the guilt on herself.

"Silly child." Tang Zhenzhu stroked Tang An's back, "It's Mom who was incompetent; after giving birth to you, I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a mother for a single day."

"Mom doesn't know how you and I could meet here, nor do I know where this is, or why what I see is the grown-up An'an."

"But Mom is really, really happy to see you, and also feels so heartbroken."

The mother and daughter hugged tightly; Tang An's emotions, held back for so long, finally burst out in loud crying.

"Ah~"

"Ah!!!"

She had so many good words she wanted to say to Mom, but when the words reached her throat, they all became aggrieved cries.

A child who had never seen her mother, the first time she saw her mother's appearance, was in her own heart demon.

The first time she truly saw her mother, it was in the Underworld.

Tang Zhenzhu gently patted Tang An's back, just like everyone, when they were children, being gently patted on the back in their mother's arms to be soothed.

But such days, the mother and daughter had never experienced.

"Mom..."

"Mom!"

A quarter of an hour had passed; Tang An was still reluctant to let go, but unexpectedly lunged into empty air and fell to the ground.

Tang Zhenzhu was also heartbroken, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Don't cry, Mom is here, here."

Tang An reached out to Tang Zhenzhu, "Don't leave me again, okay?"

"I beg you, don't go... don't leave me... I beg you..."

Watching her own child lying on the ground crying heart-rendingly, begging her not to abandon her, for a mother, how could it not be painful like a knife cut.

Houtu Niangniang couldn't help but be moved by Tang An's emotions and gave birth to a sorrowful tear.

The tear she dropped, carrying a crystal light, floated in front of her.

"Mother-daughter affection, a sorrowful tear."

Houtu raised her hand and held up this tear, "The time for reincarnation has come; have you thought it through?"

Tang An had said before that she would come back to change Susu's fate. To fulfill Susu's dying wish, let her be a mortal knight for a lifetime, wielding a sword to the ends of the earth.

Originally, before Tang An came, Houtu Niangniang could have arranged the reincarnation.

But Susu's Primordial Spirit seemed to be constantly resisting, unwilling to enter reincarnation.

Until today, until just now, Houtu finally understood. Perhaps it was the obsession of being a mother in the future, still wanting to see her child one last time.

Tang An wiped away her tears, climbed up from the ground, and looked reluctantly at the Primordial Spirit that had already restored Susu's appearance.

A hurried glance, finally getting to see her mother, she was satisfied.

"I thought I was never lucky enough to see you."

"It turns out we were already connected so many years ago."

Tang An stepped forward and stroked Susu's cheek, full of reluctance.

However, Tang An also knew that even if she was reluctant, she couldn't keep her Primordial Spirit in this Underworld forever.

"Houtu Niangniang." Tang An unfolded the Houtu Divine Ring, in which a remnant soul was actually locked.

It was none other than the River Demon who harmed Susu.

"Today, I shall use merit to cut off causality and send the River Demon to take Bai Suzhen's fate into the tribulation."

"I ask Houtu Niangniang to grant permission."

Houtu sighed, "Very well, causality reincarnates, karma must always be repaid."

Tang An saluted, expressing gratitude, "Thank you."

Afterward, Tang An looked at Susu again, "You and Xu Xuan were destined for three lives; since I promised to let you be a person, then I will ensure you are a person for the next two lives."

"When you return causality in the future, I hope we have a chance to meet in the future."

After Tang An dropped a tear, she turned and left the Six Paths Disk decisively.

Outside the Six Paths Disk, she condensed a golden sword with Merit Gold Bricks, used merit to cut off the inevitable causality between Bai Susu and Bai Suzhen. Then she used the River Demon's remnant soul to take Susu into the Beast Path, reincarnating as a white snake.

As for Susu, after the River Demon successfully reincarnated, Houtu Niangniang activated the Six Paths Disk to send her and Xu Xuan together into the Human Path. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
