Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1286 - 113: The Seventh Inheritance
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
In the Tianhu Palace, Hu Qianqiu was questioning Hu Ruolan.
"Is that woman really your niece? You’re clearly an orphan, where would you get a niece from?" Hu Qianqiu didn’t question Hu Ruolan at the Heavenly Fox Temple, but as soon as they returned to the Tianhu Palace, he couldn’t hold back and started interrogating her.
"Is it really that important? Hu Qianqiu, you have never cared about the life or death of me and my daughter. To you, there’s only a distinction between what’s useful and what’s not." Over the past few months, Hu Ruolan had lost all hope in Hu Qianqiu.
Her return to the Tianhu Palace was nothing more than a temporary strategy.
"Hmph, you better hope that woman truly can assume the position of the Heavenly Fox Saintess and marry Lu soon, or else you and she will be in for trouble." Hu Qianqiu flung the sleeve of his garment and left in anger.
As soon as Hu Qianqiu left, Hu Ruolan couldn’t help herself and took out her daughter Hu Sheng’s ashes.
"Sheng’er, don’t worry. You always wanted to help the Sky Fox Tribe and restore its prestige. Mother will do everything in her power to fulfill your last wish. Yun Sheng is a very good girl. I also hope she can successfully be chosen as the Saintess. I hope that everything Mother is doing has your approval." Hu Ruolan placed Hu Sheng’s ashes in the room. She pondered for a moment and finally made up her mind to write a letter to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng was somewhat surprised to hear that Hu Ruolan had sent her a letter.
She opened the letter and saw that Hu Ruolan wanted to invite her to the Tianhu Palace for a talk.
Since her return from the Bahuang Mountain Range, Yun Sheng had not had the opportunity to speak with Hu Ruolan in detail.
However, judging from the situation at the Heavenly Fox Temple, Hu Ruolan seemed to be doing much better than when they first met, and she seemed to have accepted Hu Sheng’s passing.
"I’m not sure what Lady Ruolan wants to talk about, but I’ll still make a trip to the Tianhu Palace." Yun Sheng agreed to the invitation and went to the Tianhu Palace to find Hu Ruolan.
Despite having met Yun Sheng several times, Hu Ruolan was still momentarily lost in thought upon seeing Yun Sheng again.
"Lady Ruolan?" Yun Sheng was a bit embarrassed under her unwavering gaze.
"I’m sorry, I was being rude. Yun Sheng, do you mind if I call you Sheng’er?" Hu Ruolan wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice a little choked with emotion. Seeing Yun Sheng made her think of her daughter.
But Yun Sheng is Yun Sheng, and Hu Sheng is Hu Sheng. To their loved ones, they were both unique.
"There’s no need for formalities, Lady Ruolan. My mother often calls me Sheng’er." Since arriving on the Bahuang Continent, Yun Sheng also missed her father and mother far away on the Wuji Continent. Seeing Hu Ruolan felt very comforting.
Like Hu Sheng, Hu Ruolan was timid and shy, yet there was a resilient strength within them.
"Lady Ruolan, I’ve always wanted to ask, you and my mother, are you really sisters?" Yun Sheng was quite concerned about Hu Ruolan’s words at the Heavenly Fox Temple.
If so, that would make Hu Ruolan her second aunt, and Hu Sheng her cousin.
"Yes, the ring on your hand should be this one, right?" Hu Ruolan took out a ring, and upon seeing it, Yun Sheng was a bit dazed.
The ancient and simple ring in Hu Ruolan’s hand was identical to the Beast Language Ring on hers.
"How can there be two Beast Language Rings?" The Beast Language Ring left by Hu Jiusheng had extraordinary significance for Yun Sheng.
It had allowed Yun Sheng to have Bo Bo, and it made her a Summoner.
All along, Yun Sheng believed that the Beast Language Ring was unique. Never did she expect Hu Ruolan to have one as well.
"Indeed, this ring has been with me since birth, and your mother’s ring should be the same." Hu Ruolan looked at the Beast Language Ring with a sense of emotion.
Despite having the same birth, the same bloodline, and the same ring, her fate and Yun Sheng’s mother’s fate were completely different, and the daughters they bore had entirely different personalities.
Although she had never met Hu Jiusheng, looking at Yun Sheng, Hu Ruolan believed that Yun Sheng’s mother must be a strong, beautiful, and powerful woman just like her, which made Hu Ruolan envious.
"No, your Beast Language Ring and mine are somewhat different. Mine also functions as a Storage Ring and a Summoning Ring." Yun Sheng took Hu Ruolan’s Beast Language Ring.
After some inspection, Yun Sheng discovered the differences between the two rings.
It seemed the Beast Language Ring left by Hu Jiusheng had many more powerful functions.
But just as Yun Sheng was examining the Beast Language Ring, she suddenly felt a tremor in it, and sensed a faint force entering her mind.
That force, Yun Sheng immediately recognized it.
It was the Inheritance Power, but why would the Beast Language Ring have Inheritance Power?
Before Yun Sheng could think further, a voice appeared in her mind.
The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Sky Fox Inheritance, Beast Language."
Hidden within Hu Ruolan’s Beast Language Ring was a Sky Fox Inheritance, and unknowingly, Yun Sheng had obtained her seventh Sky Fox Inheritance.
Seeing Yun Sheng holding the Beast Language Ring without moving, Hu Ruolan found it rather odd.
"Sheng’er, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?" Hu Ruolan asked, full of concern.
"I’m fine, Lady Ruolan. Have you ever used this Beast Language Ring before?" Yun Sheng said with a mixture of laughter and tears, not knowing whether to consider it good or bad fortune that she had learned a Sky Fox Inheritance just by holding a random ring.
"It’s just a storage ring. My daughter Hu Sheng used it for a few years, but later, for some reason, she returned the ring to me." Hu Ruolan was completely unaware that a Sky Fox Inheritance was hidden within the Beast Language Ring.
Hu Sheng had used it? Then what exactly is this Sky Fox Inheritance...
Hu Sheng once again, Yun Sheng suddenly felt that, although Hu Sheng lacked any remarkable abilities, she seemed to have secretly arranged everything.
This seemingly trivial matter of delivering ashes had entangled her deeply, and she felt like she had fallen into Hu Sheng’s cleverly crafted trap.
While Yun Sheng was puzzled, she did not tell Hu Ruolan about it.
She didn’t want Hu Ruolan to recall any more painful memories.
"Since the Beast Language Ring had been used by Hu Sheng, Lady please hold onto it for now. Perhaps one day you can take the Beast Language Ring to the Wuji Continent and find my mother. I’m sure she would be delighted to see you." Upon entering the Tianhu Palace, Yun Sheng felt that this luxurious palace was like a prison for Hu Ruolan and her daughter Hu Sheng.
"To the Wuji Continent? Can I really go?" Hu Ruolan’s eyes widened with a mix of hope and skepticism.
"Of course, you can. I promise, once everything is settled, I’ll take you to the Wuji Continent." Yun Sheng comforted Hu Ruolan.
