Chapter 213

“Godmother!” Alice happily took a few steps forward, standing next to the newcomer and introducing Yan Yunqing and his party: “This is my godmother.”

The newcomer slightly raised her head. From Yan Yunqing’s perspective, he could see a pair of watery blue eyes under the hood of the cloak. The person’s gaze swept over their group, pausing briefly on Merlin, but without any special reaction, she focused on Divic’s shoulder.

Yan Yunqing felt the other person’s gaze gradually change, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on the reason, only that it was exploring him back and forth.

Yan Yunqing:?

Also sensing the other person’s gaze, Divic took a step back, shielding the little black cat on his shoulder, and frowned at the cloaked figure. “Siren?”

Divic’s voice carried a hint of doubt, clearly not believing the newcomer was the Siren they once knew. Facing someone carrying the aura of a former companion, Divic felt a surge of suspicion.

Could it be that the Eternal Divine Sect had figured out their identities, and this was a trap aimed at them?

Yan Yunqing was also taken aback by Divic’s address.

Siren? The Demon King’s mermaid subordinate? Wasn’t that guy already dead? The Demon King had personally witnessed his death.

Even now, Yan Yunqing still remembered the scene.

The once valiant and skilled subordinate, as the golden light of dawn bathed the sea, had turned into the foam left behind by the waves crashing against the reefs, completely dissolving into the azure sea.

Where did another Siren come from? Could it be that merfolk also had reincarnation?

But Siren had turned into foam…

However, before he could voice his doubts, he heard Belos chuckle beside him. “I say, Divic, is your nose still working? Mistaking someone like that?”

Belos looked at the cloaked figure. “Take a closer look. It’s just a mixed-blood mermaid with a bit of Siren’s aura.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be someone who has come into contact with some of Siren’s legacy.”

Divic wasn’t familiar with merfolk and didn’t know Siren had left behind a legacy. Hearing this, he simply gave Belos a cold look. If he wasn’t carrying a little black cat on his shoulder, he probably would have turned around and started fighting Belos.

Yan Yunqing had a headache. Ignoring the two who were about to argue again, he jumped off Divic’s shoulder. Divic subconsciously tried to stop him, but the little black cat agilely dodged and leaped in front of the cloaked figure with a few small hops.

The little black cat tilted its head at the person. “You found Siren’s legacy?”

Yan Yunqing remembered, Siren had completely turned into foam… Before his fall, he had indeed mentioned leaving behind a legacy, placed in the depths of the sea. If any merfolk or other sea creatures found it in the future and passed the trials, they could obtain his legacy.

Siren should have left behind quite a few things. His battle skills, the treasures he had obtained fighting alongside the Demon King, and the trident he had wielded in countless battles… All of these could have been placed in the land of legacy. Even the Demon King didn’t know what exactly was there.

Before his fall, Siren had jokingly said that if the Demon King was interested in the things he had left behind, he could go search for them in the sea. The Demon King, who had a contract with a mermaid, was also accepted by the sea, and could walk on the seabed as easily as on land.

However, the Demon King wasn’t very interested in snatching what Siren had left for the sea creatures, and Siren’s “tear-up” made him a little sad, so he had thrown Siren’s joke to the back of his mind.

Now, looking back, Yan Yunqing’s first reaction was: There really was this legacy! Siren had said it so casually back then, he thought it was just a throwaway line, and that Siren had simply placed the things within the merfolk tribe.

However, when he asked the current inheritor of Siren in front of him, he didn’t receive an answer. Yan Yunqing didn’t mind, and continued to ask curiously, “What’s in Siren’s legacy? Can you tell me? Of course, if it involves your sea clan’s secrets, then never mind.”

The cloaked figure still didn’t speak, only continuing to size up the little black cat that spoke human words with a strange gaze.

Alice tugged at the cloaked figure’s sleeve. “Godmother, this is my teacher.”

“…He’s your teacher?” The cloaked figure finally spoke, her voice, like her gaze, carrying a hint of strangeness.

Yan Yunqing only felt that this voice was familiar, and took another look at the other person’s NPC tag. However, perhaps because she had accepted Siren’s legacy, her NPC tag displayed four question marks.

However, his doubts were quickly resolved. After saying that sentence, the cloaked figure pulled down her hood, and sea-blue curly hair, like seaweed from the deep sea, cascaded down, easily revealing delicate features and a beautiful face.

Yan Yunqing met those watery blue eyes and widened his eyes in surprise.

“Cornelia?”

Cornelia, who had taken off her hood, nodded slightly to Yan Yunqing. “Long time no see… A-Yan?”

Yan Yunqing: “…It’s a little strange hearing you call me so intimately. You haven’t forgotten my name, have you?”

Cornelia didn’t speak, only remaining silent.

Yan Yunqing: “…You really forgot?”

Cornelia looked at the sky, as if trying to recall. But it was difficult for unimportant people to leave their names in her memory. She thought for a moment and called out Yan Yunqing’s more well-known alias: “Long time no see, Joker.”

She nodded to Yan Yunqing, her expression seemingly very serious.

Yan Yunqing was speechless.

Okay, it was easier for Cornelia to remember him as Joker than to remember his full name. After all, their last meeting had been in the royal palace of Bato Vita. He and Cornelia had reached a cooperation, using the identity of Joker to bomb the palace in a big way, buying Cornelia enough time. It wasn’t surprising that she would remember that name.

It was just that, in that sufficient amount of time, Cornelia had silently done something big. She had castrated the King of Bato and pushed the blame onto Joker, causing Joker to be wanted by the Bato royal family throughout the continent.

Even now, Joker’s wanted posters were still plastered all over Castella City!

Yan Yunqing was at a loss for words, and glanced at Alice again. “So Cornelia is your godmother?”

Alice put her hands behind her back and nodded obediently.

Yan Yunqing: “…Did you tell her who I am?”

Alice shook her head. “No, although I know you know each other, I didn’t say anything without your permission, Alice didn’t say anything!”

Still playing cute.

Yan Yunqing was helpless against this quirky little princess and sighed. “Yeah, I should have guessed that your suddenly appearing godmother was related to Cornelia. After all, Cornelia infiltrated Fei Wu’s house back then for Alice, right?”

Although it was in the form of a question, Yan Yunqing’s tone was extremely certain.

When Yan Yunqing and Cornelia were cooperating, he had sensed Cornelia’s complex feelings for the Eleventh Princess. Because Cornelia said she had come to the royal city to find her sister, Yan Yunqing had guessed that Alice’s birth mother might have some connection to Cornelia.

However, Alice’s birth mother was clearly not a mermaid. Yan Yunqing had thought Cornelia’s claim of looking for her sister was just to fool him. Later, he heard from Merlin that Cornelia had slaughtered an entire branch of the mermaid royal family, including the mermaid princess who had grown up with Cornelia. Yan Yunqing was even more certain that Cornelia was fooling him back then.

There was no finding a sister; Cornelia’s sister had been killed by Cornelia.

After all, this guy had started as a level sixty expert pretending to be a weak mermaid being sent to the auction house. If Yan Yunqing hadn’t been able to see the other party’s level, he probably would have been deceived from the beginning.

But speaking of levels…

Yan Yunqing looked at Cornelia’s head. As Cornelia revealed her identity, the NPC tag above her head also updated.

『Cornelia Lv.92』

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing: ???

What magical pills had this guy eaten? It had only been a short time, and she had gone from level sixty to level ninety-two? Although he knew thatyìzú – different races cultivated quickly, this was too exaggerated!

How did it feel like she was even faster than him, who had a cheat!

No, Cornelia seemed to have accepted Siren’s legacy?

Thinking of the mermaid Siren, whose strength was comparable to the archangel Theodore, Yan Yunqing suddenly felt relieved.

If Cornelia had obtained Siren’s legacy, then her leveling speed being a little faster didn’t seem like much. It was like the protagonist in a cultivation novel who fell off a cliff during the Foundation Establishment stage, only to stumble into a legacy left behind by an ascended cultivator. After learning the things left behind by the ascended cultivator, they would directly be enlightened and rise three major realms in a row.

Legacy was just that unscientific. Otherwise, why would Sylph have extracted all of her memories and sealed them in the crown to baptize the new elves?

This kind of baptism was similar to legacy, except Sylph was a little more excessive. She shared her memories and expertise with the entire elven race, while Siren only condensed it into one copy for the destined person who could find his legacy.

What was condensed was the essence. It wasn’t strange that Cornelia had risen to level ninety-two in one breath.

“So you’re Alice’s teacher–” Cornelia sized up the little black cat, her expression actually carrying a hint of disgust. But then she seemed to think of something, and that disgust was slowly suppressed by her. “Forget it, if it’s… Alright, I reluctantly agree to Alice recognizing you as her teacher.”

Yan Yunqing looked at her speechlessly. How long had this been going on? Even if Cornelia didn’t agree, what could she do? He was already Alice’s teacher. Could it be that Cornelia still wanted to be a villain who broke up a couple?

Uh… breaking up a couple… that didn’t seem right either.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this.” Yan Yunqing refused to think about these messy things and mentioned today’s main point. “Alice said you’ve been guarding here since yesterday. Have you discovered anything?”

“Discoveries?” Cornelia paused, remembering her idea of quietly prevaricating that she had agreed to Alice yesterday, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

But fortunately, she hadn’t really prevaricated. After all, Alice had asked her. Even if it was difficult, with Alice’s words, Cornelia had still reluctantly staked out all night.

“There were no special discoveries. The people who confronted us last night had already left by the time I returned to the church. They haven’t come back so far,” Cornelia said. “As for the bishop you mentioned, he hasn’t left the church at all.”

“Are you sure?” Yan Yunqing asked. “It wouldn’t be some kind of trick, would it?”

Cornelia glanced at the little black cat. “When Alice said she was going to explore the church last night, I put a mark on that bishop. I can confirm that he hasn’t left the church, and he’s still in the church now… Hmm?”

Cornelia spoke halfway before suddenly frowning, tilting her head to sense something. Then she continued, “Oh, change that. He’s not in the church anymore. He just left Castella City.”

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing: !!!

“Then hurry and follow him!” Yan Yunqing almost jumped up. “So your mark can let you follow him remotely or find him?”

Cornelia: “It can.”

“Then what are we waiting for?”

Yan Yunqing turned around, preparing to jump back onto Divic’s shoulder, but Belos intercepted him and hugged him in his arms.

Yan Yunqing: …

Forget it, the Eternal Divine Sect’s matter was more important. He would endure it.

Only Divic wanted to fight Belos again.
