Chapter 2376
“Little Xinxin, you are still as cute and naive as ever . ” The white-scaled woman smiled at Lan Haixin as she spoke .
“You… why are you here? I thought you were…” Lan Haixin was having difficulty composing her sentences . The situation was so incredibly unexpected that her mind was struggling to adapt .
The woman sighed and said, “Some unforeseen problems occurred during my evolution, and Little Yun tried to kill me . She forced my hand, and I had to put myself into the Siren Bottle to stay alive . ”
Han Sen understood now . The Little Yun she had referenced was undoubtedly the Siren Elder . It seemed that she had never actually won over Bai Yi’s mother . The plan she concocted was actually just a part of Bai Yi’s mother’s grand conspiracy . Even when she failed to evolve, she had actually won .
The woman then looked at Han Sen . She still wore that soft smile, and she said, “My son, I am glad to see you here . ”
“You must have heard what the Siren Elder said . I’m not your son Bai Yi,” Han Sen said simply .
The woman nodded . “I know . Bai Yi wasn’t my son, anyway . ”
When the woman said that, Lan Haixin reeled in shock . Even Han Sen was astonished .
The woman explained, “I am the Siren Virgin . I must keep my body pure . I had no choice but to marry into the Extreme King, but I made a deal with King Bai . I would be known as his wife, but when it came to child-making, that would be done by another Siren woman that I kept close by . ”
“That person couldn’t have been the Siren Elder, could it?” Han Sen’s heart jumped .
The woman gave Han Sen an appreciative look . She spoke softly to him, saying, “Yes . It was indeed Little Yun . And she only slept with King Bai once . She didn’t actually know about my deal with King Bai, and she never realized that I was still a virgin . ”
Han Sen shuddered, and he said, “Bai Yi was her son?”
“Kid, I like you more and more . ” The woman smiled at Han Sen, but she didn’t answer his question .
The realization felt like a chill sinking deep into Han Sen’s bones . His guess had been correct, he assumed . The Siren Elder said she had given her son for this woman . But the white-scaled woman didn’t actually have a child . Bai Yi had the blood of King Bai and a Siren . The only possibility was that Bai Yi was the Siren Elder’s son, but this white-scaled woman had used some trick to take the baby for herself . The Siren Elder had no idea, and she had believed for all this time that her son was dead .
“What a frightening woman . The Siren Elder never guessed that Bai Yi was her son . It’s lucky she didn’t find out; otherwise, she would have done everything for Bai Yi, and she probably would have exposed me to King Bai . ” Han Sen looked at the woman’s sweet smile and felt relieved .
“Kid, how about you and I strike a deal?” The woman smiled at Han Sen .
“What kind of deal?” Han Sen asked .
“You know of my situation . My body is destroyed, and I live inside the Siren Bottle . If I do not find a body, I will fade away . You have disguised yourself as Bai Yi . He was not my son, but he was the son of King Bai . I assume you are aware of what might happen if King Bai learned that you killed Bai Yi?” The woman was straightforward, which Han Sen appreciated . “I can help you deal with that, and I can help you make use of the Siren Bottle’s power . But you will also have to find me a body to use . What do you think?”
“That doesn’t sound like a bad deal . I will agree to it,” Han Sen said .
The woman seemed surprised . She hadn’t expected Han Sen to agree so quickly . Her smile deepened . “Kid, I like you more and more . ”
“I can help you, but I do have a condition,” Han Sen said .
“Speak then . ” The woman nodded .
“You can call me by name, or you can just say ‘hey’ or ‘yo’ or whatever . Just stop calling me a kid,” Han Sen said seriously .
The woman grinned at Han Sen and said, “Fine . I understand . ”
“Then let’s go,” Han Sen said, nodding to the woman .
“If you ever require my help, knock on the left side of the Siren Bottle . ” The woman met Han Sen’s eyes, and the Siren Bottle stopped shining . The rainbow drained back into the Siren Bottle, taking the woman with it . The Siren Bottle left the altar and flew into Han Sen’s hand .
The light disappeared, and the Siren Bottle looked like nothing more than an ordinary crystal bottle .
Han Sen looked at the Siren Bottle for a moment, then put it away .
That woman was strong . She had the Siren relic, the Siren Bottle, as a base for her current existence . It was likely that not even the little red bird could deal with her .
They had a temporary agreement to work together, as they really had no reason to fight each other . If something happened that caused them to butt heads, things would turn very bad very quickly .
The woman had used the Siren Elder to bring the rest of the Siren there to be killed . She clearly required the blood of the Siren . Her plan had probably involved killing Bai Yi and Lan Haixin as well .
But because Han Sen had been present, he had foiled the woman’s plan . She was probably uncertain about Han Sen and his capabilities, so she had chosen to form an alliance with him .
She couldn’t be trusted, though . He knew that . But right now, working for her was a good thing for Han Sen . So, he had decided not to expose her .
They both had something to gain, and they needed each other . So, they joined forces without much trouble or negotiating .
Lan Haixin looked bewildered . She had listened to the entire conversation leading up to the deal between Han Sen and the woman, and she still didn’t really understand what had happened . It sounded like some strange sort of joke .
“What are you doing?” Han Sen approached, and Lan Haixin grew pale . She knew she was weak, and she couldn’t escape .
Han Sen had a deified firebird . Even if he was alone, she couldn’t hope to fight him .
“I’m taking my wife home . What else can I do?” Han Sen took Lan Haixin’s arm and smiled .
“Don’t you dare! You killed all of my people . I will not be with you . ” Lan Haixin tried to shake his hand loose, but she couldn’t free herself . Han Sen began tugging her away from the palace .
“Their deaths were a result of your stupidity . Even if I hadn’t cut them down, the Siren Elder would have killed everyone here,” Han Sen said, his voice dispassionate .
Lan Haixin opened her mouth, but the words of response never came . She looked pale, and a desperate thought crossed her mind .
“If you are going to commit suicide, I will not stop you . But think about this: you are the last Siren with virgin blood . You are the last hope of your people . If you die now, it will be game over for the Siren,” Han Sen said harshly .
Lan Haixin struggled to maintain her composure, and she did not speak .
