Chapter 2148: Your Ancestor
Throughout the entire course of Progenitor Smoke's life, she had never seen such a weird person before. Were they a man? A woman? A human?
Lu Yin quickly moved forward and stopped Big Sis from going anywhere. "Big Sis, what are you doing?"
His question startled her. "Little Seven, why are you here?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "Big Sis, there’s nothing that you need to worry about here. You can head on out first, or wait for me a bit. Then, we can go to the Heavens Sect together and catch up for a bit."
Big Sis just rolled her eyes. "Bullshit! Nothing here that I need to worry about? Thanks to you, this old lady found out that I’m their ancestor: Progenitor Yōu."
"Progenitor Yōu?" Progenitor Smoke exclaimed, losing her composure.
Big Sis looked over at Progenitor Smoke, and her eyes lit up. "You’re gorgeous!"
Big Sis got excited as she looked back at Lu Yin. "Little Seven, is she your woman? Nice job!"
Lu Yin shot forward and clapped a hand over Big Sis’s mouth. She was referring to Progenitor Smoke, the master of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas! Even after spending so much time together, Lu Yin still only referred to Progenitor Smoke as “senior” and did not dare to overstep proper boundaries.
Wait, what’s going on? Why didn’t the pressure and shame that everyone feels from seeing Progenitor Smoke’s beauty work on Big Sis? It’s worked on everyone else! Even Semi-Progenitors like Kui Luo and Third Uncle were affected, but Big Sis didn’t react at all.
Progenitor Smoke could not tell if she had been heard, or if Big Sis and Lu Yin were just ignoring her question. Progenitor Smoke continued to stare at Big Sis’s oddly formed head. "Progenitor Yōu?"
Big Sis smacked Lu Yin's hand away and lifted her head high as she replied, "That’s me!"
Progenitor Smoke stared at Lu Yin. The woman’s eyes made it clear that she felt like she was dealing with an idiot.
Progenitor Yōu? What a joke! That person’s generation was so ancient that they were thought of as nothing more than a legend. Even if Progenitor Yōu was not as mythical as the God of Death, they were still from a time so far in the distant past that no one could actually confirm whether or not they had ever existed. Who would believe such a story?
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "That’s actually what Destina told me. She’s Destiny’s disciple, and the first thing that she did after being released from the sourcebox and awakening in this era was to find Big Sis. So, she basically has to be Progenitor Yōu."
Progenitor Smoke stared at Big Sis’s malformed head, and Big Sis stared back at the stunning woman. "Little Seven, this girl isn’t bad at all! Great face, killer figure. Tell me, did you get any yet?"
"Big Sis, don't talk like that! Someone will die! She’s a Semi-Progenitor!" Lu Yin quickly tried to stop Big Sis from saying any more crude words.
However, she simply rolled her eyes so hard that her entire head moved along. "So what if she’s a Semi-Progenitor? Aren’t you able to overpower Semi-Progenitors now? Quit making excuses and apologizing for her. Are you worried? Big Sis will help you blow her off her feet! You’re too gentle to act like a man."
Lu Yin was speechless. "Big Sis, she’s Progenitor Smoke!"
In the end, his only option was to tell Big Sis the truth. Otherwise, there was no telling what Big Sis would say. She had been raised by the Pirate King, Highsage Leon, as a foster parent, and he was a ruthless individual who had never had any reservations in his words or actions.
Big Sis felt confused by Lu Yin’s words. "What Progenitor Smoke?"
Lu Yin whispered, "During the Daosource Sect era, Progenitor Smoke controlled one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas! She was an invincible Progenitor! You should have heard about how Progenitor Smoke left behind the smoke that’s used on Eversky Bridge, right? This woman in front of you made that!"
"Bullshit! How long has it been? How could someone still be alive after so long?" Big Sis could not believe what she was hearing.
Lu Yin muttered back, "You’re still alive."
Big Sis had nothing to say to that. She was Progenitor Yōu, and she was still alive after so long. Was it really unbelievable that Progenitor Smoke could still be alive?
Big Sis’s head snapped around, and there was a very different look in her eyes as she stared at Progenitor Smoke. At this time, both respect and curiosity could be seen in Big Sis’s eyes.
Progenitor Smoke was still staring at Big Sis’s odd head. "Progenitor Yōu? Is that what Destiny’s disciple told you? Are you sure it’s true?"
Lu Yin immediately turned his attention back to Progenitor Smoke. "Yes, unless Destina lied to us. However, there’s no reason for her to have done so. Besides, she really did capture Big Sis twenty years ago and force her to become Destina’s disciple."
When Lu Yin mentioned this detail, Big Sis rolled her eyes again. "That woman’s a bitch! If not for the fact that I knew that I couldn't escape, I never would have accepted her as my teacher! What can she even teach me?"
As soon as she finished venting, Big Sis turned back to Progenitor Smoke. "Are you really Progenitor Smoke?"
Progenitor Smoke nodded. "Are you really Progenitor Yōu?"
"It’s a pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise."
Lu Yin sighed. "Big Sis, don’t visit the Yōu clan just yet. I’m not in that much of a rush to find Undying Yushan. We can’t stir up any huge waves in the Fifth Mainland right now."
Big Sis got upset. "I’m not doing this for you! No matter what, these people are my descendants, and I need to meet them. I’ve even forgotten that I had the Yōu clan as my descendants. If I had known that the Yōu clan of the Seven Courts were my descendants before, things would have gone much differently, and Leon’s Armada would have conquered the universe long ago."
Lu Yin still wanted to dissuade Big Sis, but she refused to listen to him. "It’s going to be a long story, so if you aren’t comfortable with me going, then just come with me. This isn’t just the Yōu family, so what are you so worried about?"
Lu Yin felt helpless. He was actually afraid of Big Sis coming into contact with the Impious Sutra. After all, how could just the Yōu clan scare him? "If you’re going to insist on going no matter what, then let’s go check this out together."
He then turned to face the Great Abyss and slowly called out, "Lu Yin has come to pay a visit to the Yōu clan."
His voice was not loud, but it crossed space and was easily heard by Yōu Lao and the rest of the Yōu clan.
Everyone was startled at the words. Lu Yin was visiting them?
The Yōu clan had once again united. There was no longer a Yōu family isolated and alone in the Innerverse, separate from the rest of the Yōu clan. At present, Yōu Keyan was the clan’s matriarch.
The Yōu clan was traditionally led by whoever controlled the Yōu Secret Art. Since that was Yōu Ye’er, then it meant that Yōu Keyan was the matriarch. As for Yōu Kexin, she had taken on the position of an elder.
Yōu Keyan’s expression changed completely when she heard Lu Yin announce his arrival, and she hurried out to greet him.
As for Yōu Lao in the boat on the Great Abyss, he was feeling rather torn at this moment. Four of the families from the former Seven Courts were present in the Heavens Sect, so the fact that Lu Yin was visiting the Yōu clan first was either good news or terrible news. If it was good, what would Lu Yin bring them? If it was bad, what had they done to deserve it?
Regardless of the old man’s thoughts, it was a given that, with Lu Yin visiting, the Yōu clan had to welcome him with open arms and a proper reception.
Yōu Lao rowed his boat slowly over to the bank of the Great Abyss.
Lu Yin and Big Sis were already waiting for the boat, but Progenitor Smoke had decided to return to the pocket dimension within her mirror and remain hidden.
"Greetings, Dao Chosen." Yōu Lao offered a slow bow when he saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin raised a hand. "Senior, there’s no need for you to be so formal. I dropped by unexpectedly, and I hope that doing so won’t make things difficult for your Yōu clan."
