After their escape, they had to be constantly on the run from Xue Chen. Eventually, they ventured into the Death Forest by accident. This forest was now known as the Five Toxins Forest.
The Death Forest existed more than tens of thousands of years ago. Legend has it that whoever entered the Death Forest would not be able to come out alive. Xue Chen made many attempts to go after the two of them by sending different teams of assassins into the forest. He gave up eventually as nobody was successful.
The duo found a cave in the Death Forest to rest and recover from their injuries. When they were healed, they tried to think of ways to escape. However, they then discovered that the legend about Death Forest was true indeed.
The two masters did not go into detail as to how horrific the Death Forest was. Both of them eventually died in the Death Forest…
When they realized that their time was almost up, they constructed the ancient tomb for themselves. After they passed away, the essence of their souls remained, awaiting the appearance of their successor…
They had not expected to wait for more than tens of thousands of years. They would have vanished from this world forever if Su Ruoxi had not appeared when their time was up…
Even though Su Ruoxi was curious how her two masters had died, she did not question them any further as they did not seem too keen to talk about it. After listening to their story, she decided to stay in the tomb chamber to learn medical knowledge and poisoning skills from them…
Even though the duo had been betrayed by Xue Chen before, this had no bearing on their fondness for Su Ruoxi. They imparted almost all of their knowledge and skills to her. Su Ruoxi was extremely touched…
A month after they started mentoring Su Ruoxi, she suddenly felt faint and nauseous. When Master Xia took her pulse, she discovered that Su Ruoxi was about three months pregnant…
The news dropped like a bombshell, shocking all three of them. The two masters gazed at Su Ruoxi inquisitively…
Su Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. When she recovered from her shock, she told them the truth about her identity and what had happened to her. Naturally, she did not mention anything about transmigrating here…
When they learned of what happened, the two masters were furious. At the same time, they were amazed by how tough and gutsy their apprentice was. She had been drugged with aphrodisiacs, and when an antidote dropped from above, she had simply ravished the man without a second thought. How bold of her! True to their judgment, she was indeed of the highest caliber and was perfect to be their apprentice…
Deep down, Ling Fengchen despised the man who was the antidote. This person was an embarrassment to all men! He could not even regain consciousness when he was being violated by Ling Fengchen’s apprentice. What a wimp! The man who was the antidote would be fuming if he knew what Ling Fengchen was thinking!
After some hesitation, Su Ruoxi decided to keep the baby. She had been all alone in her previous life. In this life, this baby would be her only kin. She could also finally have her own child…
The two masters supported Su Ruoxi’s decision wholeheartedly. They wanted Su Ruoxi to be at ease during her pregnancy. So, both of them used their remaining limited power to transform the interior of the tomb chamber into a simple but elegant room. Su Ruoxi was deeply touched by their gesture…
One year later, Su Ruoxi delivered an exquisite baby girl with the help of her master, the Immortal Doctor. She named the baby Su Lingxia, which was a combination of the surnames of her two masters. The two elderly, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, were overjoyed…
Su Lingxia’s nickname was Baby Su. The little rascal could speak from birth and had soft and delicate features. The two elderly were extremely fond of her…
The mother and child continued to stay in the tomb chamber with the two masters for the next five years. Other than cultivating, Su Ruoxi’s favorite pastime was to prepare culinary delicacies for the two elderly and her precious daughter…
During these five years, Su Ruoxi was the only one who could enter and leave the Five Toxins Forest as she wished. They discovered this by accident. When Su Ruoxi carried the baby with her into the realm, the baby would automatically drop out of the realm whenever she reached a certain spot. The baby was unable to go on any further…
Su Ruoxi could not figure out the reason, either! Hence, whenever Su Ruoxi had to venture out, she would leave Baby Su in the care of her two masters…
She seldom ventured out; it was usually only a few times a year. The shortest trip took about two or three days, while the longest one was for slightly more than ten days…
Last night, the two masters summoned Su Ruoxi and her baby. Su Ruoxi could sense that the bodies of her two masters were colder than usual. She had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, but she did not allow herself to dwell on it…
The two masters gazed at her baby and her for a long time…
The Immortal Doctor, Xia Lingyi, finally said, “My apprentice, leave with your baby tomorrow! Our time is finally up. Thank you for accompanying us all this while. These five years have been the happiest time of our lives!”
“Take good care of Baby Su! Don’t allow anyone to bully her! Baby, you have to protect your mother, too, understand?” Ling Fengchen said with a heavy heart.
“Old man, let’s go!” Xia Lingyi said with a smile as she gazed at Ling Fengchen.
Ling Fengchen smiled and nodded…
Su Ruoxi was reluctant to see them go. She hugged their cold bodies as she tried to hold back her tears…
Baby Su leaped into their arms. She was a prodigy and was gifted from birth. Even though she did not know what was happening, she could sense that it was sad and emotional. She would probably not see her Grandmasters again…
The two elderly embraced Baby Su for a long time before handing her to Su Ruoxi reluctantly…
“My apprentice, Baby, do take care from now on!” The two of them gazed at each other and let out a contented smile. Then, their bodies began to slowly transform into two spheres of light…
Eventually, they transformed into four rays of light—two black rays and two white rays. The rays of light penetrated into the area between the brows of Su Ruoxi and Su Lingxia and disappeared…
The black ray and white ray of light that sank in between Su Ruoxi’s brows were thick and dark. The black ray and white ray of light that sank in between the baby’s brows were thinner and lighter…
After the two elderly vanished, Su Ruoxi found a letter on the table where they used to have their meals. The last words of her masters were, “My apprentice, by the time you read this letter, we would already be gone! When we disappear, this ancient tomb will vanish as well. Remember to use the two coffins for your cultivation, it will be beneficial for your realm! As for the poison in Baby Su’s body, you might not be able to find the medicinal herbs needed to neutralize the poison in this mainland. We will try our best to suppress the toxins in Baby Su’s body for the time being. Meanwhile, you must cultivate and become even stronger so that you may find the antidote for Baby Su and heal her! From now on, don’t think about avenging us as it has been more than tens of thousands of years. If that man is not dead by now, he will be a force to be reckoned with, and you’ll be no match for him. Masters hope that you and Baby Su will be able to live a good and healthy life from now on!”
