Suddenly hearing another voice in her head was naturally a great shock to Dongi but just as her expression changed, her mother explained what was happening in detail, "Don't worry, she is friendly. The lady that just spoke to you is a similar Spirit that Wuxing has. They are the ones responsible for giving us abilities.
I have been passing on bits of it to you for many years until I finally told Layla to move everything completely."
Dongi regained her calmness as she sucked in the information like a sponge and comnted when she realised sothing, "So that's what you ant when you said you have been sharing your ability with … So it was never mine from the very start…"
"Yes." Guan i nodded with an apologetic smile, knowing that this ability made it really hard for Dongi to make friends, but she knew it was the right decision. After knowing the benefits she could get, Dongi definitely wouldn't complain about her mother's decision.
Caressing her cheek, Guan i continued explaining, "I already figured long ago that I won't be able to take part in the next event so I started passing my ability onto you. I have been holding myself back from evolving just so that this procedure wouldn't fail. Fortunately, the progress was not lost so you only need to train for a little while to advance."
Naturally, there were many foreign concepts in her speech and Dongi didn't get everything, asking back, "Evolve? Event?"
Guan i gave out a chuckle and assured, "It's alright. Layla will explain everything to you. She promised to take good care of you." It would be best if they beca friends quickly so Guan i didn't take those chances to socialize from them.
'Hello?' Dongi asked in her mind hesitantly, not knowing what to expect but she quickly received an answer in the form of a gentle female voice, 'I can hear your thoughts clearly. You don't need to be afraid, I am here to help you. Right now, you and Wuxing are similar, both being an Ability User.' Layla and Guan i used Wuxing's na a lot to calm Dongi a bit and it worked.
From that mont, there was no fear in Dongi's mind and she quickly followed up with another question, 'So I will be going with Wuxing to this event, right?'
Layla agreed but did not explain much, suggesting instead, 'Yes, but the details about it are still unknown. I will make sure to explain everything to you soon. I suggest we first replenish our energy as there is a big deficit in your body. After you finish your breakfast, we can talk. I will answer any question you might have.'
Dongi passed the ssage to her mother, finding Layla's word actually true, "Mom, Layla said I need to replenish my energy. I also feel really hungry. Can we eat breakfast?" She felt really weak, sohow feeling that she wouldn't find energy to walk anywhere.
Guan i was waiting for that and picked up the phone, dialing the chef, saying, "Naturally. I will tell the chef to prepare many dishes. We will have breakfast in bed."
Right after her mother finished ordering, Dongi hugged into her chest and said with blissful smile, recalling so happy mories she had with Wuxing, "Mhmm, It has been a while since I had one… Wuxing used to feed in bed, hehe."
Putting the phone away, Guan i embraced her daughter, gently brushing through her hair and comnted, "It seems like you had really good with him."
Dongi couldn't say anything bad against him and agreed without hesitation, "Yup. He is the best…" It has been a while since she had a talk like that with her mother so she deeply enjoyed it.
Guan i was also Dongi's best friend and having this opportunity, she started sharing her best monts she had with Wuxing. Her mother didn't mind it and listened with attention, making her feel as if she was back in highschool, sharing her everyday life monts with her.
When the food finally arrived, Dongi changed the topic and asked after the chef left, "Mom, does that an you will not have your ability anymore?" She asked this question to Layla a mont ago and she confird it. Dongi still repeated the question to her mother to know the reason behind it.
Guan i didn't mind the question and passed Dongi a snack, feeding her to not be any worse that Wuxing before assuring her, "Don't worry about it. If I can see you and Wuxing reunite, I will happily say I'm satisfied with this decision. Naturally, I expect so cute grandkids to visit in the future, hehe."
Contrary to her expectations, Dongi didn't fight back but rather accepted the tease with a smile and nodded, "We will definitely bring them if we have them. But you have to wait for that… Maybe after a few years."
Hearing Dongi's reply, a sudden sadness filled Guan i's face and she sighed, realising it was ti to reveal the secret they held together with her husband.
She put down the fork on the tray, placing it next to her and said cautiously with worried expression on her face, "Dongi, there is sothing I need to tell you."
When Dongi saw it, she imdiately did the sa, knowing that it would be a serious conversation and said unhappily, "I don't like this expression… It's the sa as the one when you told that Santa is not real… Did soone die?" Each ti her mother had this face, Dongi would learn about so sad news.
"No, no, no one died." Guan i quickly shook her head, not expecting Dongi to go so extre and said with a sigh, "It's about your grandparents."
"Oh! Are they coming for a visit? It has been a while since I have seen grandma." Dongi exclaid, clearly excited to et them but that made Guan i cringe.
It was because their experiences with Dongi's grandparents were much different compared to hers. They were really nice to their only granddaughter and loved to spoil her but it wasn't the case with their son. The strictness their showed to Guan Dong was just too much for one person to handle. Fortunately, he had Guan i to share so of the weight on her back.
Knowing they would take ages before they finished this talk, Guan i went straight to the point, "How should I tell you this… They are not as nice as they act in front of you."
Normally Dongi wouldn't imdiately trust such claim but knowing her mother was telling the truth, she had to believe in it. She just couldn't imagine her sweet grandmother as a bad person.
Knowing that Dongi was confused, Guan i quickly explained, "Even though they are nice to you, they placed an ultimatum on us so ti ago. You wondered why your father push you to find a husband by the ti it is your twenty fifth birthday but it is all because of your grandparents pressure. We wouldn't force you into anything if not for that."
Her mother's words sounded too unbelievable but Dongi once again didn't find any lie in them. She still asked to confirm, not actually too worried yet, "Huh? Really?"
Guan i confird yet again and delved deeper in her descriptions, "Yes and let tell you, your grandparents are not people that accept rejection easily. Our family reached the level we currently have mostly thanks to your grandparents support.
Even Spirits like Layla are afraid of them as your grandparents are also special, both being an Ability Users who passed through many evolutions and won many events."
As Dongi still didn't know but about the events, Guan i continued, "Even now, they are at the stage where they can't be forced to take part in any event if they don't want to. They were also the ones who found Layla for so I can't say anything against them. I just want you to know what is the reality. You deserve to know the truth."
'Is it true…?' Dongi asked in her mind, wanting to know Layla's opinion and was shocked to hear her confirm everything, 'I personally never t them but I know they have the most senior spirits supporting them. I heard they are pretty scary so I tried to avoid them…'
"To think my grandparents were like that…" Dongi muttered to herself, but she wasn't worried even after hearing everything, asking her mother, "But isn't it fine? I have Wuxing now. My grandparents will visit us on my birthday, right? We will co back with Wuxing and et them."
This put Guan i into thinking and she muttered, having only one problem, "Right… I guess it should be fine if he agree but how will you convince him to marry you after just three months?"
