Gazing at the dumbfounded and shocked ’elf boy’ with a blushing face, Yuan’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her slender fingers, revealing a mischievous and smug smile of a successful prank.
"Hehe, Mom’s reaction is so cute."
"Huh?!" Faced with her daughter’s mischievous smile, Yumo was at a loss and stood there in a daze.
"Yuan’er, you..."
"But Mom, you’re really sothing. You only admitted your identity when I pushed you this far. That’s so an. Or could it be that Mommy just wanted to get close to Yuan’er like this~?"
With those words, the little one slowly crawled in front of Yumo and boldly poked her face with her finger.
At this point, Yumo suddenly had a revelation.
An indescribable sha washed over her heart, making Yumo’s face even redder, like a ripe red apple.
"Yuan, Yuan’er, Yuan’er, you, when did you recognize ?"
"When?" Yuan’er blinked playfully, then gave an answer that left Yumo sowhat devastated, "I recognized you back then, on the rooftop."
"On the rooftop?!" Yumo repeated in a panic.
On the rooftop, didn’t that an... I had been acting one-sidedly in front of Yuan’er since the engagent banquet?!
Thinking about how her disguise had been seen through, and she had been foolishly acting in front of her daughter for so long... wasn’t she no different from a circus monkey in her daughter’s eyes?!
At that mont, Yumo felt an imnse sense of sha. If there was a hole nearby, Yumo would have probably jumped into it without hesitation.
However, because ngxi had given her a similar experience before, Yumo, having gone through such humiliation, gradually cald down after trembling slightly all over. Nevertheless, Yumo’s gaze towards Yuan’er beca strange.
This little rascal, after not seeing her for a few years, not only grown up a lot, but she had also beco such a good actress?
My child had really changed a lot over the years.
Thinking about how she hadn’t been by Yuan’er’s side during the most crucial stages of her growth and developnt, Yumo couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss and guilt.
On the other hand, sensing her mother’s slightly sad gaze, Yuan’er asked with so concern, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
"Huh? No, nothing." Yuan’er’s question pulled Yumo’s thoughts back to reality. She quickly shook her head and forcibly stabilized her expression using the surging Shadow Power within her body.
"It’s just, I’m a bit curious, how did you see through my identity?"
"Hmm, about that..." Yuan’er raised her hand to her chin, pondered for a mont, then began to explain seriously, "Because the timing of Mom’s appearance was too coincidental, it made people suspicious. When Mom hit Jiyan, you showed an expression that looked very angry, and it also gave Yuan’er a feeling of familiarity. And before that, didn’t Mom also calm down Sister Limo? An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to calm down Sister Limo. So, I beca suspicious of Mom’s identity."
"Sus, suspicious?" Yumo furrowed her brows, "You acted so recklessly just based on suspicion? What if you had guessed wrong, Yuan’er? What would you have done then?"
"I wouldn’t have guessed wrong." Yuan’er confidently patted her chest, "Even if I had guessed wrong, it wouldn’t have mattered! I could have just silenced the person directly~"
Although the pink-haired girl showed a sweet and innocent smile, she spoke very cruel words as if it was a matter of course, making Yumo feel a chill down her spine.
This, this little rascal?!! How co, she seems a bit scary?!
During these years when I wasn’t around, how exactly did Yuan’er grow up?
While Yumo was feeling depressed, Yuan’er covered her mouth and let out a few more mischievous laughs, "Hehe~"
"Hm? What’s with you again, you little rascal?" Looking at Yumo, who was still maintaining her elf boy disguise, Yuan’er said in a playful tone, "But compared to Grandpa Sebastian and the others, Mom’s disguise isn’t quite good enough. Although the appearance and aura are flawless, the mannerisms and tone... are still lacking."
Yuan’er very boldly mocked her own mother.
Hearing her daughter’s mocking words, Yumo’s face turned even redder.
Although based on past experience, Yumo had always been soft-spoken, this ti, in order to save face as a mother, Yumo decided to play dumb and be stubborn.
The next mont, in response to Yuan’er’s ’mockery’, Yumo smiled mysteriously and shook her head nonchalantly, "Do you really think Mom’s disguise is so easy to see through?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Yuan’er was stunned and looked at her mother in confusion, "Isn’t it?"
"Of course not!" Yumo raised her voice and emphasized seriously.
"I..I deliberately left so flaws, just to test you all and see if you could guess my identity. As for my performance just now, it was also intentional, just to see if Yuan’er could stick to your judgnt in the end. Fortunately, Yuan’er persisted in your stance, not only being the first to discover m..my identity but also withstanding the test. You did well, Mom is very proud of you."
With those words, Yumo’s face, which had finally cald down, turned slightly red again.
After all, Yumo was well aware that she was talking nonsense. The current Yumo seed unable to lie with a straight face like a pure and innocent person.
As the words left her mouth, Yumo couldn’t help but regret it again. What if her nonsensical words were once again exposed by Yuan’er?! Wouldn’t she lose face big ti?!
How could her dignity as a mother be preserved?!!
Thinking of this, Yumo’s heart began to pound rapidly due to nervousness.
Fortunately, after hearing her mother’s explanation, Yuan’er didn’t raise any doubts as Yumo had feared. Instead, she instantly showed an expression of "I see" and looked at Yumo with excitent, her eyes sparkling.
"Oh oh oh, so it was all Mom’s test?"
"Yes, yes, it was."
"Well, it seems I was thinking too simply. Of course... Mommy is so amazing, if you were serious, how could I possibly see through Mommy’s disguise."
As she spoke, Yuan’er even beca a bit dejected, her face visibly sinking.
"Uh..." Seeing this, Yumo’s heart trembled, and she hurriedly comforted, "Yuan’er is still young, you should have confidence in yourself. Mom’s disguise this ti can’t be seen through by ordinary people, but Yuan’er was able to see through it, which is already very impressive. Look, your brothers and sisters didn’t even realize it? Only you passed the test."
"Only Yuan’er?" Yuan’er blinked and repeated this sentence excitedly.
In just an instant, Yuan’er, who had been a bit dejected, suddenly revived, showing a bright and excited smile.
"Hehe, it seems I’m still quite amazing, to have discovered it earlier than my sisters, hehehe."
"Yes, yes... very impressive indeed, HA HA HA..." Yumo smiled a bit awkwardly.
Seeing Yuan’er’s innocent and doubtless smile, Yumo frowned slightly.
Huh? This little rascal, she just believed it that easly?
She was so smart to see through my disguise earlier, but now she believes such nonsensical words full of holes?
For a mont, Yumo couldn’t figure out whether her child was smart or silly.
But in any case, at least her authority as a mother was barely maintained.
Thinking of this, Yumo let out a long sigh of relief.
"Um, Mom?" Just then, Yuan’er spoke again and looked at Yumo with an expectant gaze.
"What is it, little one?"
"Mom, that disguise, can you..."
Yuan’er asked hesitantly.
Although she hadn’t finished speaking, Yumo quickly understood. Under Yuan’er’s excited gaze, she nodded, "Of course."
With those words, Yumo slowly raised her hand and removed a veil-like object from her forehead. As this object, the divine artifact Concealnt Veil, was removed, Yumo’s appearance underwent an earth-shattering change after a mont of distortion. The previously handso and youthful boy’s appearance vanished in an instant, replaced by an extrely beautiful black-haired girl.
Seeing that familiar exquisite face, the beautiful black and red gradient long hair, and the dazzling crimson eyes that shone like jade and exuded a gentle and loving light, Yuan’er couldn’t help but show an expression full of emotion.
Unknowingly, even lightning flashed in Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes.
Although she had already known that the person in front of her was her mother who had left ho six years ago, when she saw that familiar face again, Yuan’er still couldn’t control her emotions. The worries and grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for a fully six years overflowed uncontrollably at this mont.
"Wahhhhhhh, I, I missed you so much, Mom!!"
Accompanied by the overflow of tears, Yuan’er threw herself into Yumo’s embrace without a second word.
