I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 258 - 28: Wuzhiqi’s Wife · Goddess of the Huai River Calamity (1/3)

In Gou Xing's calm recounting.

The origins of the Huai River Witch became gradually clear.

Long ago, a thousand years past, the Huai River Dragon Maiden met the Guhuo Bird and became one of the reincarnation vessels of the Guhuo Bird.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Huai River Dragon Maiden, with the help of the Huai River Witch, split her personality into two, gaining both the sides of gods and demons.

When benevolent thoughts dominated, the Huai River Dragon Maiden was revered as a Divine Maiden, bringing peace and prosperity.

Yet, when malevolent thoughts prevailed, the Huai River Dragon Maiden became a true Calamity God, wreaking havoc and disaster.

It was during this period that the malevolent Huai River Dragon Maiden met Wuzhiqi.

They instantly felt a deep connection and soon fell in love.

When benevolent thoughts returned, Wuzhiqi realized he had fallen for only the malevolent side of the Huai River Dragon Maiden.

Thus began a long, drawn-out struggle between Wuzhiqi and the Huai River Dragon Maiden.

When malevolent thoughts dominated, Wuzhiqi and the Huai River Dragon Maiden were a loving couple.

When benevolent thoughts prevailed, the Huai River Dragon Maiden would either counsel Wuzhiqi to goodness or simply avoid him.

In some ways, Wuzhiqi's later madness was significantly due to the dual nature of the Huai River Dragon Maiden.

This continued until the Huai River Dragon Maiden became pregnant with Huo Ji.

Unlike the two younger brothers that followed.

Huo Ji was born almost through the love and adoration of both Wuzhiqi and the Huai River Dragon Maiden, and had a tumultuous but complete childhood.

Unfortunately, this situation gradually vanished as the Huai River Dragon Maiden's condition deteriorated.

After the third child was born, the Huai River Dragon Maiden, to avoid turning the three children into Guhuo Birds, decided not to see them again.

Regardless of good or evil, this was the shared choice of the two Huai River Dragon Maidens.

So in Wuzhiqi's eyes, these three children were the culprits for the Huai River Dragon Maiden's departure.

Don't try to understand the logic of a Calamity God who acts ruthlessly and wickedly.

Ever since the disappearance of the Huai River Dragon Maiden, Wuzhiqi hasn't hidden his hatred for the three children.

Thus, when Wuzhiqi saw the Huai River Dragon Maiden again, she was already on the brink of death and soul extinction to rid herself of the Guhuo Bird's instinct.

The frenzied Wuzhiqi hesitated not a moment.

He pulled his eldest son Huo Ji over and successfully made him the reincarnation vessel for the Huai River Dragon Maiden.

...........................

"So, in a way, you are now the reincarnation of the Huai River Dragon Maiden."

Looking at the dumbfounded Huo Ji, Gou Xing's words were brutally direct, sending a chill down one's spine.

"The reason you still believe you're Huo Ji is not because your will is unusually strong, nor because your abilities are exceptionally powerful."

"Simply because of the Huai River Dragon Maiden's motherly love, refusing to let you become another her."

Involuntarily clutching his chest, images of his childhood and his mother's gentle and radiant smile flashed through Huo Ji's mind once more.

Huo Ji wasn't sure if it was the Good Dragon Maiden or the Evil Dragon Maiden from Gou Xing's account.

But he indeed felt his mother's love once again after many years.

"So you mean by letting me see my mother one last time, you actually mean completely turning me into the Guhuo Bird?"

Gou Xing, consistent in his candor, did not deny Huo Ji's words.

"Haven't you always held firm to the strength of your will?"

"Or do you also know you'll never be the next Dragon Maiden?"

Gou Xing was employing a taunting tactic, even Er Tu on the side could see that clearly.

Alas, Huo Ji's pride was intimidatingly strong, even knowing it was a taunt, he still fell for it.

"I will always be Huo Ji, you can't change that, my father can't change that, and neither can my mother!"

Glaring angrily at Gou Xing, Huo Ji suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"But I won't sit around waiting to die. If you really want to turn me into the Guhuo Bird, then show me your skills first!"

Before the words were fully out, Huo Ji leaped out of the water, his golden fur and scales reflecting a blinding glare under the sun.

To everyone's surprise, Gou Xing merely shook his head lightly.

In the next moment, visible primordial Qi converged into substance, forming a multicolored giant wing descending from the sky.

Boom!

Huo Ji didn't even have time to throw a punch before the multicolored giant wing pinned him mercilessly into the water.

Splaaash...

The rivers surged, waves crashing.

Fearing the impact of this battle, Er Tu shapeshifted and vanished from sight in an instant.

"A Thousand-Change Divine Monarch?"

Gou Xing glanced at the spot where Er Tu disappeared and muttered to himself, ultimately not taking action.

After all, the Thousand-Change Divine Monarch involved a Celestial Being, making it hard to say the opponent didn't have any hidden aces.

Besides, Gou Xing himself had a cautious nature.

Didn't wish to incur additional risks at this critical moment.

"Dragon Maiden, won't you reveal yourself yet?"

Staring at the Dragon Ape struggling in the water, Gou Xing appeared before it the next instant.

Then, it seemed as if something awakened.

Huo Ji suddenly ceased struggling, and even his previously fierce expression softened somewhat.

"Is it you again?"

The same voice, the same features...

Yet at this moment, "Huo Ji" exuded an entirely different aura.

"I'm already dead, why won't you leave me alone?"

Just by speaking, Gou Xing's originally calm and composed face changed dramatically, his eyes flickering with disbelief.

"You're not the Evil Dragon Maiden? How is this possible?"

Straining his eyes, trying to recognize the other's identity.

Gou Xing saw only compassion and gentleness on the other's face, devoid of any ferocity of a Calamity God.

"There's nothing impossible in this world."

The Huai River Dragon Maiden sighed softly, then looked down through the river's water at Huo Ji's current appearance.

"Like this child, who was so gentle as a child he couldn't bear to harm even a rabbit."

"Who would have thought he would follow Wuzhiqi to cause a great flood, annihilate countless creatures and gods, then become a rare Great Demon?"

When the Huai River Dragon Maiden raised her head again.

The gentleness and compassion in her eyes quickly withdrew, replaced by a severity not inferior to Wuzhiqi.

"Gou Xing, I thought not finding you in life meant I might never avenge myself in this lifetime."

"But now that you've left the Returning Void on your own, stay forever in this outside world!"
