“You certainly planned to do all that to divert mama’s attention from your story outside don’t you, young man?” Su Meiyao asked as she fixed one of her sleeves, moving ceaselessly as her and her son sit at the back of the mountain they are in, taking in the view of the surrounding as she envelops herself with her son’s body.
Leaning down so that his head is on his mother’s shoulder, Wu Xiaotian takes a sniff of her heavenly, peach-like natural scent, a smell unique to her alone, that changes its allure depending on the situation, making her extremely charming when they are expressing their passion to each other, and this time, making him incredibly calm as if he’s in a middle of a peaceful farm in the peak of spring time.
“Come on, you know I won’t hide anything from you mom” he replied to her inquiry as he tightens his hold on her, returning back to his original position to dive down on her voluminous hair and take in her scent there.
“How many daughters-in-law did I gain during this period?” she asked with a joking, yet slightly serious tone in her voice, not a single trace of jealousy or envy in it, only pure support and some anticipation.
“Why is it that you seem so eager of me bringing more women home?” looking at her smiling expression, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask in curiosity as it is only now that he realizes that he never really understands the reason why such a proud and extremely talented genius such as his mother would allow herself to share her beloved to other women.
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re my son, Tian… and there’s nothing else I rather want than you having the best of the world and that includes you having the freedom to do whatever you want” she said while looking far away, as if her brilliant, gem-like eyes were seeing something way beyond the horizon.
“Just know that you need to take responsibility to the girls you bring home, okay?” She said as she turns around a bit, her side leaning on her son’s body as she raises her hand out and starts drawing circle on his wide chest.
“Mama knows how smart you are so mama highly doubt that you will bring some girl with trashy personality, so mama will leave you to your own discretion… just find time to introduce them to me” she said with a comforting voice as she looks up to meet his gaze, the two of them smiling at each other before sharing a short kiss, something completely different from all their passionate exchange as this one merely lasts for a second before ending, but this somehow feels so much more powerful than all of their previous lips to lips.
“As your mother and as your woman, I love you, Xiaotian~~~” Su Meiyao declares as her hands circles her son’s neck, looking at him with all seriousness in her eyes as she emphasized each of the words she said.
“Meiyao, I love you too” he said as his hands moves around and circle her back, before stealing another peck on her lips, breaking it immediately before he sticks his forehead to hers, looking at his mother eye to eye as he continues in all seriousness.
“I love you too, mom” he added before finally sharing a passionate kiss with her, this one lasting for quite a while as their hands move around each other’s back, the sound of clothes rustling lasting until they separated their lips, a silver thread of saliva still connecting their tongue as they speak to each other.
“Back to the topic, tell mama how many daughters-in-law are you bringing in some time in the future~~~” she said while still hugging him on the neck, her cute expression while looking all serious and curious causing him to yield and tell her about everyone he encountered previously, from the outgoing Li Yan to the cold yet warm Feng Qing.
“That Xian’er girl will soon fall for you as well baby, bring them all together if you have the time~~~” after hearing all about his adventures outside, well, focusing mostly on the girls he mentioned, it looks like Su Meiyao is even more refreshed and younger that how she usually looks as she talks to him, her faces all smile as she happily hums a tune.
‘Is this the fabled effects of rumors and hearsays towards women?’ he thought to himself as he agrees with her request, making her smile even more brilliantly as if she’s looking forward to the time, they will meet her.
After talking for a little bit more while feeling each other’s warmth, they eventually stood up from the spot when the sun is nearing the top of the sky, Wu Xiaotian promising to return home as much as he can just for his mother to allow him to leave again, concerned that he might get discovered using such talisman especially when he’s inside one of the strongest faction in the continent, in addition to the fact that the people he left in the Heavenly Secret Tower will be worried if he were to suddenly just disappear.
After saying each other goodbye, they shared one last long and hot kiss, this one being initiated by Su Meiyao, as if they’re going to be apart for a long while despite knowing that her son will probably be back here again by nighttime.

Meanwhile, in another place, somewhere filled with lush green mountains filled with steep slopes and stony paths reaching the skies, someone is moving towards the peak of the highest mountain at an extremely fast speed, passing through the eyes of even Core Formation Realm cultivators without them noticing, only stopping once it saw the large, palace-like structure standing at the very peak of the mountain located in the center of the mountain range.
Entering the palace, the figure is greeted by a sole figure, sitting in a modest chair while holding multiple papers in their hand, perusing it for a while before looking at the figure standing near the door.
“Xuanyuan, are you really sure everything you wrote here is real?” the figure sitting behind the table asked with uncertainty in their eyes, despite the figure in front of them being their most reliable and most trusted person, their very own disciple.
“Master, I swear to my own dao that everything there is real, there’s not a single trace of exaggeration, maybe there’s even a bit of understatement there if I were to say” the figure replied with absolute confidence in their eyes.
“Fine, it’s a great thing that you made friend with such a monster” looking at the figure’s eyes, the other figure sitting behind the table yields and decided to believe, throwing a token towards the figure standing near the door.
“Take whatever you want in my treasury, don’t bother holding back, else you want me to reveal that” the figure behind the table threatened, causing the other figure to shiver a bit.
“Come on master, you should not!! Do you know how troublesome it would be for me if you do that?” the standing figure asked with a begging tone in their voice.
“I know, because I’m also like you” the sitting figure replied with an innate confidence in their voice.
“That’s why you shouldn’t do that okay? Don’t let your disciple experience the same thing you did” the standing figure said as they walk out of the palace, waving their hands while being looked at by the sitting figure who’s shaking their head.
“The times are about to change…” the sitting figure muttered as they look in front of them, their eyes seemingly seeing beyond the walls of the palace and peering through the void.
