Chapter 588: Thai'lle Gives Some Advice

(Insectoid Empire- Lo'vrean Galaxy)

(Unknown Location- Prison R-812)

Thai'lle's eyes widened in shock as she saw a mysterious girl suddenly appear right before her eyes without warning.

The girl appeared to be a member of the Arachnais tribe, but she was quite different to others of their species.

Firstly, she was quite tall, Thai'lle wasn't sure about her exact height since she was floating slightly above the ground, but she had to be seven feet at least...

Her ears were slightly pointed but not as sharp as her own, the girl's mouth had tiny fangs and the most significant difference...

The mysterious girl had four blade-like appendages jutting out of her back instead of the usual six. These four appendages were longer and had sharp hooked barbs on their ends.

"Sophie?!" Thai'lle blurted out in shock. The only member of the Arachnais race with such bizarre features had to be her long-lost daughter.

Wait... this didn't make any sense...

Thai'lle frowned heavily and she began to look at the mysterious girl a bit more critically. The girl appeared to be solid, but the edges of her body were slightly translucent.

She resembled... what did Rokan say they were... ahh... yes... a ghost!

There was clearly something strange going on especially considering that the mysterious girl's palm entered her cheek.

"Nice trick," Thai'lle smirked as she played with the knife in her hand. The sharp blade fluttered between her fingertips until one could only see a flash of steel.

"Illusion? Mental influence? Psychic attack? I must say you are very impressive to mimic what I subconsciously imagined my daughter would look like, but you made one mistake..."

"When my daughter was born, she was a normal human except for her eyes."

Thai'lle grinned as she saw the look of shock flash across the mysterious girl's face. Yep... her precious child didn't inherit her features except for her eyes.

This was clearly a fake...

"No... mom! I am your daughter... I used to look like a normal human but when I started practising the cultivation technique in the amulet you gave me..." Sophie hurriedly explained.

"Oh?! Can you use my memories to make the illusion more realistic? Not many know about the Star of Ethnaise..." Thai'lle asked with a bored expression on her face.

"I must say this is quite the curious technique... shame it isn't lethal or dangerous... but I'll humor you... if you are my daughter then how did you end up here in that state?"

Sophie was a bit surprised at her mother's reaction.

It wasn't exactly the warm reunion that she also imagined but thinking about it... she could understand her mom's concerns.

If a strange girl appeared out of thin air and claimed to be your daughter who was currently hundreds of thousands of light years away...

It would be hard not to be suspicious.

Sophie took in a few deep breaths and gently exhaled. She calmed herself down and then began to think of what to say.

It was impossible to prove her identity with just words alone, but she had to try and the only way she could convince her mother was to be honest.

"Mom... I'm honestly not sure how I ended up here," Sophie confessed truthfully as she looked at Thai'lle directly in her eyes.

"I was cultivating in the amulet space when I saw something strange. There were two humanoid outlines made of stardust."

"One of the outlines resembled aunt Rai'lle so I assumed that the second belonged to you. I touched it and then the space shattered."

"When I woke up, I was inside this cave, but I got a feeling inside my chest that guided me to float towards a certain direction."

"I don't know how or why but my body became invisible as well as weightless. I tried getting your attention, but it was like you could not hear me..."

Thai'lle listened patiently as the girl who claimed to be her daughter finished her explanation and a contemplative look flashed across her face.

It was true that she felt a connection to the girl standing in front of her but that wasn't enough to allay her suspicions.

The former princess stretched out her hand and her fingertips entered the Sophie's stomach. She directed a thin strand of qi into the mysterious girl's body.

It sounded like her so-called daughter was currently in an astral form but that didn't mean that her qi would not react with her meridians.

If she really practiced the 'Spider Whisper Art' then there should be proof in her meridians. Thai'lle closed her eyes and focused on what she felt as her qi travelled around Sophie's body.

Finally, she opened her eyes and the expression on her face turned to that of one of disbelief mixed with hope.

"You... you... you really are my daughter," Thai'lle stuttered for the first time in her life. This should be impossible and yet she felt that the girl in front of her cultivated using the 'Spider Whisper Art'.

"Yes mom... it's me," Sophie smiled warmly as she floated even closer to her mother and tried to wrap her ghostly arms around her to give her a hug.

It didn't really work but just being close to her mother was enough for Sophie to be satisfied. She always wanted to meet the woman who had given birth to her.

"But I also sensed a familiar power in you... did you also sign a contract with the hunter goddess? What gift did she give you?" Thai'lle asked curiously.

"Contract? I didn't sign a contract... she just declared that I was her vessel..." Sophie hesitantly spoke.

"A vessel? My daughter is... by the goddess... you are amazing!" Thai'lle exclaimed happily as she looked at her daughter with pride.

No member of the Arachnais tribe had been chosen to be a vessel for the Hunter Goddess for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even Thai'lle for all of her talents was only given a single gift and had not met the goddess herself but her messenger priestess.

But now... her daughter was the vessel.

"Tell me everything... I want to know everything about my baby girl," Thai'lle excitedly spoke as she led Sophie towards the bed.

The former princess sat down on the poorly grass mattress and stared at Sophie with stars sparkling in her eyes.

Even now it was hard to believe that her daughter was really there.

"Sure mom... what do you want to know first?" Sophie asked curiously as she tried to sit down as well but her body would not lower to the ground.

"How is your father? He hasn't taken another mate, has he?" Thai'lle asked with a trace of worry in her voice that even she didn't notice.

"No. Dad is waiting for you to come back... he has not chosen another wife," Sophie replied immediately.

Thai'lle's lips gently curved upwards and she silently promised herself to reward her favourite human when she reached the Federation.

"Okay... I wasn't worried... he would not dare to cheat on me," Thai'lle waved her hands and pretended to be nonchalant.

"Now how about you? Are you happy? Are the humans treating you like the princess you are?"

"Well not really as a princess but dad is a powerful noble, so most people treat me with respect. When I was younger... I was bullied a bit because of my looks but now..." Sophie spoke quietly.

"I have good friends by my side and someone special as well."

Thai'lle immediately opened her mouth to warn her daughter about those sneaky humans,

"Someone special? My daughter... Don't be fooled by those humans! They are incredibly cunning! I remember your father tried to escape from me numerous times before he eventually gave up."

"You must make sure to capture them directly! Then once they are imprisoned, you can court them using these techniques."

"Now first you need to challenge them to a duel..."
