Upon hearing her daughter's question, Wen'er's mother sighed softly and said, "All these years in Iga-ryu, how do you think I've managed to receive such good treatment? Over the years, I've been helping them in tomb-robbing, which is why I've garnered their attention. The tombs I've entered and the things I've learned far exceed those your father and they have seen over so many years. I saw this White Water Ghost in an ancient tomb. As for the Octopus Snake Turtle, I read about it in some ancient texts!"
So that's it, Ye Qing and Wen'er suddenly realized. No wonder Wen'er's mother is so knowledgeable; it's due to her long-term involvement in tomb-robbing.
"What exactly is the difference between the Octopus Snake Turtle and the Eight-clawed Dragon Turtle?" Ye Qing asked the question weighing on his mind.
"The difference is vast!" Wen'er's mother said, "Have you heard of a snake transforming into a jiao?"
