Hmm, should I tell her or not?
If I do, I’ll probably get caught and spanked by her, right?
You still rember when you were little and you told her you wanted to go on an adventure to a certain place, then she hung you up and flicked your tiny willy a dozen tis!
Recalling that soul-deep empathy, you couldn’t help but squeeze your thighs together.
"That is, I’m going with Lao Du to Xining. He said they discovered an ancient relic there."
"Lao Du?" Your mother’s eyes imdiately narrowed.
Oh no, busted!
You understand your mother just as she understands you. The mont you saw her narrow her eyes, you knew you were in big trouble.
"Did you just say Lao Du is taking you to Xining?"
"That, that..."
I’m dead, I’m so dead!
All of a sudden, you realise your brain is working at ten or even dozens of tis its normal speed. After several circles of thought, you finally cave in, considering your mother’s fierceness. You finally fess up, "That... Mom, I’m planning to make another trip to Chang’an."
"What are you doing in Chang’an?"
Your mother didn’t get angry, surprisingly. She just asked you in a tone that seed very calm.
"Qiyi, she contracted a disease, similar to my curse, and from what I know, her body probably can’t hold on for two more years, so..."
"Go."
You did not expect your mother to agree to your journey to the west without hesitation, her decisiveness left you sowhat disoriented.
You know very well that to her, you are the closest person in this world. A single mother who struggled to raise her son would naturally be reluctant to let her child embark on any risky adventures.
"Mom, did I hear you wrong? You agree to let go to Chang’an? You don’t want to ask what I’m going to do there, or which part of Chang’an I’m going to?"
Your mother imdiately smiled, stretched out a slender finger, and touched your forehead gently, her smile full of allure, "You silly boy, don’t forget, you were born from your mother’s ten months of pregnancy. How could I not be clear about those little secrets in your heart?"
"Hehe." You scratched the back of your head feeling sowhat guilty.
Indeed, before her, you’re like a novice facing an expert.
"I only recently found out about Qiyi’s illness too. If you had noticed it when you first t Qiyi, I could have extended her life by thirty years, but now... alas!"
"Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely cure Er Ya’s illness!"
"Hmm." Your mother nodded, her trust in you surpassing instinct, "However, be careful at all tis. Even though you possess the Sen Luo Eye, you cannot be careless. After all, that is where the Empress lies in eternal slumber. Through the ages, not a single person has been able to truly open that door."
"I know."
After thinking for a mont, your mother asked, "Zhao’er isn’t going with you, right?"
Without thinking, you shook your head and said, "Although Zhao’er possesses a terrifying power equal to the Empress’, I still don’t want to put her in danger."
Upon hearing that, your mother was imdiately taken aback, "Zhao’er is that powerful?"
"Yes."
You then told her about how Zhao’er rescued you from underground during the siege of the Soul Refining Sect. As you narrated, confusion appeared on your mother’s face. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the center of the great hall, to the giant golden statue of Lord Chenghuang.
While gazing at Lord Chenghuang, your mother muttered to herself, "Zhao’er, what exactly is her identity? I originally thought she was the Empress. I didn’t expect that she and the Empress are not the sa person. And the kind of blue fla you described, that’s not just any ordinary thing."
"What kind of fla is it?"
Your mother furrowed her brows and said, "Set aside Zhao’er’s matter for now, after all, everything about that girl is already tightly bound to you, there’s no escaping it. Right now, you should prepare so more things."
"Mm, I know."
"Who else do you plan to take with you?"
"Well, I must take Little Hei with . In tis of danger, if I am not able to lend a hand, Little Hei can still help her out."
"Who?"
As you were about to tell your mother about Little Hei, cries of surprise ca from outside, followed imdiately by a loud bark.
Perhaps hearing its na being called, Little Hei wagged its big tail and dashed to your side, rubbing against you nonstop.
"Mu Yun, where did this dog co from?"
"Mom, this is Little Hei, Little Hei." You reached out to pet Little Hei’s head, and it naturally lay down by your side.
"Little Hei?" It seed to finally dawn on your mother, after staring at Little Hei a few tis, she suddenly said, "Is it that scabby dog that always used to steal my sausages?"
Despite its body being as big as a tiger’s now, Little Hei imdiately cowered when your mother began to speak, not daring to look up at her, as if she always held a rolling pin in hand ready to beat it.
Before long, Wu Qiyi, Xi Yu, and Zhao’er walked in with all eyes on them.
Your mother glanced over and imdiately said with a laugh, "Oh, where did these three little goblins co from!"
"Aunt Ying."
Wu Qiyi walked confidently to your side and sweetly called out.
"Ah, Little Yun is growing up to be more and more beautiful." While speaking, your mother beckoned Zhao’er with a hand gesture, "Zhao’er, co here."
Zhao’er obediently walked to your mother’s side, and before she could speak, your mother had already grabbed her jade hand, saying with a smile, "Co, call ’Mom’ and let hear it."
"Mom!"
You imdiately objected, who talks like this!
However, who is your mother? She’s the one who dares to drug your father and adamantly forced him to marry her!
Now that she’s older, her tomboyish deanor hasn’t diminished one bit from her younger days!
And Zhao’er? Although she is maturing, there’s not a hint of a young girl’s heart, shyness, or coyness to be seen, she simply and blandly called out, "Mom."
"Ah—"
Oh my gosh!
That "Mom" gave you goosebumps all over, yet your mother was absolutely delighted, grinning at Zhao’er. Then she actually turned her head toward Wu Qiyi and said, "Little Yun, would you like to call ’Mom’ too?"
"Mom, oh my dear mom! I’m begging you, can you please stop?"
You felt like banging your head against a wall.
Wu Qiyi was not like Zhao’er, and although willing, she had her own plans and, of course, wouldn’t be as unreserved as Zhao’er. Therefore, she just smiled and handled the situation casually.
Next, your mother glanced at Xi Yu and with a twinkle in her eye, said playfully, "Yun’er."
Yi～～
That "Yun’er" made the hair on your neck stand up, absolutely more terrifying than encountering Sadako in the middle of the night.
"Little Yunyun, how co you haven’t introduced this beauty to ’Mom’?"
Look, just look at your mother’s gaze, it felt like a big bad wolf eyeing Little Red Riding Hood.
