Chapter 1334: Visiting the Old Witch
Just like that, Mengyu simply had the White Tiger make an appearance, and everyone’s last bit of dark thoughts about her in the village vanished.
As Mengyu and her companions approached the halfway point of the witch’s house on the hillside, they heard a voice: "Please do not disturb my master’s peace."
Judging by the voice, it sounded like a very young, perhaps slightly immature girl.
Mengyu was puzzled: Isn’t the old witch supposed to live alone here? Why has she turned into a girl?
Gougou was even more surprised: He had been here a few times in his previous life, and each time he’d see the old witch, although she never let him inside, she always gave him food, chatted with him, and told him many strange and unusual stories. The last time, when he was fourteen, she even gave him a green ring.
The first thing he did after getting the ring was to give it to Mengyu, who was like a mother to him.
Why, when he comes searching in this lifetime, has the person already died?
Indeed, only when a person dies does one ask not to disturb their peace.
Mengyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Can I not show some respect to the elder in my own way?"
Mengyu always felt that the old witch couldn’t have died so early.
The girl sighed and said, "You can come in alone. My master’s house does not allow men entry."
Gougou felt a bit disgruntled; why couldn’t he go in? But remembering how he came every time in his last life when he was painfully hungry, and each time, the old witch was sitting at the door, handing him food as soon as she saw him.
Thus, he never actually entered the house, so he didn’t press the issue.
Mengyu consoled Gougou: "I’ll go in, and if there’s anything, I’ll come back and tell you." She then entered alone.
All of her spiritual pets were also left outside the door.
As Mengyu walked into the wooden house, she saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting on the bed.
The house wasn’t big, but it was clean, with only one outer room, one inner room, a kitchen on the side, and a toilet in the back.
The wooden house was warm. The girl’s eyes were gentle, and her beautiful big eyes were smiling as they looked at Mengyu.
As soon as Mengyu saw this girl, she felt very close to her.
She hurried forward and respectfully said, "Hello, where is your master’s spiritual memorial set up? Let me offer incense."
Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head: "You’ve come, and your respect is enough for my master to know." She then said, "Congratulations on receiving the Wood Immortal’s legacy."
Mengyu was shocked. How did she know Mengyu had received the Wood Immortal’s legacy?
The girl seemed oblivious to Mengyu’s astonished expression and continued: "Master said you would come today, and indeed you have, but she also said you needn’t come again. She has already entrusted that boy with the legacy, and her task is complete."
Mengyu was once again stunned: The legacy she received came from that colored ring? So, in the previous life, when she gave the ring to Gougou, was it actually meant for her through Gougou?
Did she know about her reincarnation?
Moreover, did this girl also know?
The girl seemingly knowing her doubts continued, "Master said she was always looking for you, and predicted you would appear here, so she waited for you ahead of time."
Mengyu was stunned again; the old witch stayed here just to find the successor?
The girl seemed to know Mengyu’s thoughts: "Yes, master went through nine lifetimes, each finding a Wood Spirit Body, but none were successors to the cultivation technique. It was only this lifetime that she finally found you, but the conditions for activating the legacy required not only a Wood Spirit Body but also a two-life soul, which is why she used her mana to help you reincarnate. Master spent a great deal to allow you to reincarnate, and seeing you have received the legacy, she happily departed."
