"Su Su? What happened to Su Su?"
Hearing your mother ntion Xiao iyu in such a tone, your eyebrows also involuntarily furrowed.
"This girl bears the fate of her entire clan, the pressure is too great, and her thoughts too profound. Moreover, to avoid involving you in this matter, she never even ntioned it to you from beginning to end."
Hearing your mother say this, your brows knitted together.
Xiao iyu’s disappearance without a word had always been a knot in your heart that you couldn’t untie.
From the beginning, she approached you by employing countless different roles and exhausted every stratagem, but then she vanished overnight without a trace, which had always disturbed you deeply.
"Mom, please tell everything you know."
After taking a deep breath, you sighed softly, and with this gesture also decided, you were determined to take responsibility for this matter to the end.
"This matter, well, it’s a secret; I also ca across it accidentally in our family’s scripture vault when I was little." Your mother organized her thoughts slowly, "As everyone knows, Empress Nüwa was born into the Demon Clan, and she sent the Nine-Tailed Fox to Chaoge to bewitch Emperor Xin. However, what Empress Nüwa didn’t anticipate was that the Nine-Tailed Fox would fall in love with Emperor Xin. You study history and naturally understand the principle of the victor writing history."
You nodded. "In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong, only victory and defeat. Histories are written by victors; King Zhouwu Ji Fa took advantage of Emperor Xin’s campaign against the eastern tribes to incite other lords to attack Chaoge. After Emperor Xin’s defeat, King Zhouwu naturally exaggerated his cris extensively. It’s the sa for all emperors and politicians in history; there’s not much more to say."
Your mother continued, "Emperor Xin died by self-immolation, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, wishing to die for love, was taken away by Empress Nüwa. With Nüwa, she cultivated in the Divine Realm and beca the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Normally, the change of dynasties is part of natural law; however, no one expected that one day the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, always behaving so obediently under Nüwa, would suddenly escape from the Divine Realm and even steal the Golden Core of Taishang Laojun. Afterwards, it was rumored that the Tushan Fox Demon lineage was sealed in Eternal Night, dood never to see the light."
"Eternal Night? What is that place?"
Your mother shook her head, sighing, "I don’t know, I even asked your grandmother, and she wasn’t clear either. Even Mother En only knows vaguely. However, she stated that she won’t tell you the truth until you fully control the Seal of Truesky."
Rubbing your head vigorously, you suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.
As a mother, each of your actions reflected your feelings, she knew this all too clearly.
"Silly boy, you might not believe others, but you must listen to Mother En. Everything she has done so far is right, especially concerning you; she has put in a great deal of effort indeed."
Hearing your mother say this, you nodded seriously. Ever since childhood, you had always believed that Mother En was the closest and most affectionate person to you in this world.
"Mom, then I will listen to what Mother En says, let’s put Su Su’s matter aside, but the issues I face now are not trivial either. Zhao’er and the rest..."
"This matter you must resolve yourself, as a mother, I’ve done all I can." Saying this, your mother stood, patted your shoulder, "Your ti is also nearly up, go et that girl Zhao’er and see what she has prepared for you."
"Yes."
Standing up, you had just taken two steps when you suddenly recalled sothing and turned back, "Mom, I had previously recognized a goddaughter..."
When you turned back, there was no sign of her.
Looking around the empty room, you scratched your head, your mother’s movents had been too quick, making you speculate even more about her identity.
Now, it seed like your entire family was no ordinary bunch.
After closing the door, you suddenly felt your steps beco heavier and your heartbeat noticeably quickened.
One step, two steps...
When you reached Zhao’er’s door, lifted your hand, about to knock, the door automatically opened.
A breathtakingly beautiful face ca into view.
She seed to have been waiting for your arrival, discerning your identity from the footsteps outside the door and opening it imdiately.
"Co in."
Zhao’er’s smile was always so pure and beautiful, like a stunning piece of scenery that one could never tire of watching.
As she entered the room, when you saw the dishes on the table, it felt as though soone had whacked you on the back of the head, and your eyes moistened instantly.
The dishes on the table were the ones you had personally cooked for Zhao’er in that little house by Xiang Lake.
It was the first ti Zhao’er had eaten sothing you cooked. She ate each bowl very earnestly and carefully. Even though she couldn’t speak, she showed with her actions that she felt everything you did for her.
"Zhao’er."
As if possessed, you softly called out.
"Mhm." Zhao’er turned her head, smiling gently, "Yun, let’s eat."
"Mhm."
Between you and Zhao’er, many things didn’t need to be said verbally; just a look or a smile could convey the deep love you had for each other.
Right!
You suddenly realized, Zhao’er was created by you with your Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which ant your souls were linked. In front of her, how could you possibly have any secrets!
And you even thought about hiding it from her, dating three people at once.
Oh NO!!!
At that mont, you felt like jumping into the Huangpu River!
Looking at Zhao’er’s calm smile, you scratched your head, knowing you had to co clean. If you hesitated any further, you really wouldn’t seem like a man.
"Zhao’er, I..."
"Yun, I already know." Zhao’er picked up a piece of braised pork trotter and placed it in your bowl, "This braised pork trotter is marinated with aged wine, with a spoonful of oyster sauce, so light and dark soy sauce, using Yun’s thod, also Yun’s favorite."
"Mhm."
Nodding earnestly, you polished off the pork trotter in just a few bites.
After that, you and Zhao’er didn’t talk about anything else, because you had felt her intentions. At that mont, you truly reached a connection of the souls.
By the ti you had finished all the food on the table, watching Zhao’er slowly clean up the leftovers while burping contentedly.
At that mont, her movents were as light as a newlywed bride, gentle with a touch of allure.
Finally, you and Zhao’er sat together on the couch, she looked at you, and you stared at her.
Suddenly, Zhao’er’s delicate neck tilted slightly, and her lovely eyes blinked, showing an expression that had appeared countless tis in your dreams.
"Pfft."
You couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder.
"What are you laughing at, you scoundrel! Can’t people sleep?!"
Finally, a middle-aged man’s protest ca from next door, and only then did you cover your mouth, though your body was still shaking with laughter.
Zhao’er looked at you crossly and said, "Is it that funny?"
"Not funny." You suddenly raised your head, staring intently at her, "Just missed you, missed you a lot, a lot..."
