Mo Lingxue has always been and will always be a careful individual. During her times as one of the sect masters of the Valley of Harmony, it is exactly this carefulness that leads her into multiple victories and success on things that will be beneficial for the sect, being crowned as one of the sect masters who contributed most to the sect, someone nearly on par with their founding ancestors.
That is why the immediate thought that appears in her mind as she heard the voice in her head are these two: first, she’s going crazy from the longing towards her daughter, so much that this issue created a mental demon in her heart, and she needs to deal with it as soon as possible and the second one is that there’s a powerful entity projecting this thought to her, perhaps as some sort of trap to lure her in somewhere else.
However, as she continues hearing the voice, she got more and more convinced that the voice she’s currently hearing is really that of her daughter, who she knew is currently imprisoned in the Extreme Martial Sect, and god knows whether she’s still alive or not given that there are hardly any news coming out of this sect pertaining to her.
“T-the comets rip through, bright yet ephemeral” in order to confirm her hopes, she said a line that she only thought to her daughter, some sort of saying that she comes up with, subtly hoping to teach a lesson to her daughter about something.
Hearing the words that comes out of her mother’s mouth, Su Meiyao’s smile grows even brighter as she knew exactly what the woman is talking about, a saying that she heard from her, something that she never really understands until it’s too late, something that she can proudly announce in front of her that she comprehends it now.
{The stars shine gently, profound and eternal} replying with multiple thoughts in her mind, mostly that of happiness and anxiety to look at his mother again, Su Meiyao said as her hug towards her son tightens even further, her trembling figure getting assured and comforted by Wu Xiaotian who’s currently holding her in the back as well, all while his head is buried on her voluminous and fragrant black hair.
On the other side, Mo Lingxue is already shedding tears, her eyes red as the words got stuck on her throat, the voice replying to her in the very same tone that she always heard her daughter speaks makes her believe that it’s a mental demon even more, yet the desires in her heart is giving her some hope that this is the real one, the only living proof of her struggles, the sole reason why she’s still holding on until now despite all the things she suffered all this years, her little girl, the Su Meiyao that she and her deceased husband loves so much more than their lives.
{Mother, I know that you will lean more on thinking that the voice you’re currently hearing is a mental demon more than anything else by now, but please, just this once, for my sake, won’t you risk the chance to believe me?} as she heard the pleading tone to her daughter’s voice, Mo Lingxue’s mental defenses started to fall apart, creating a huge hole that is no longer able to hold the emotions she repressed after all these years.
“My Meimei, is… is that really you? Where are you now? Are you still in that sect? How have you been all these years? Are you fine? Just wait for a while, mother is coming to pick you up soon….” As she lets her emotion get the better of her, Mo Lingxue starts speaking for so long, asking the voice she’s hearing multiple questions so much that the beautiful, black haired lady on Wu Xiaotian’s lap couldn’t help but smile and laugh, thinking to herself that this is still the same old mother that raises her up, the very same strict, yet extremely caring and concerned mother.
As she listens to all of her mother’s question, she starts listing her answers to every single one of it, not missing a single detail as she narrates in joy, travelling down the memory lane as the nostalgic scene of her lying down on her mother’s lap as she tells her about her adventures outside plays in her mind, the mature lady always smiling interestedly while listening at her stories in every one of those scenes.
After answering all the questions thrown to her, the air got silent for a while, making Su Meiyao quite nervous as she knows that this is the moment that her mother is truly deciding whether she will trust this voice in her head or not, and Su Meiyao got her answer the next moment.
“I’m willing… to believe, yes, you are my lovely Meimei… Mother misses you” while staring up in the sky, Mo Lingxue replied with a smile on her face and a gentle tone to her voice, never expecting that in this tragic life of hers, something great can still happen after all those things she had gone through.
{I… I miss you too mother, so much… I want to see you again} Su Meiyao expresses her thought on her reply, the relief in her mind as she heard her mother believing the voice she’s hearing washing over her body, making her fall weakly on her son’s body as she heaves a sigh.
“How is it mom?” feeling his mother’s soft weak body leaning on him, Wu Xiaotian asked while holding her shoulders, making her look at him directly, their eyes on each other, the joy in her eyes unmistakable causing him to know that there’s definitely something good that happened during the conversation between her and her mother.
“Mother believes me, we’re talking about how to meet each other right now….” She replied with a low voice as she feels like she’s drained from the suspense she felt while she talks with her mother, each of the words she says feeling like she’s doing some harsh training, every single one of them coming out of her mouth with the pressure of her mother not believing the words and passing her voice off as some mental demon she encounters.
“Let’s use the Unbounded Spatial Talisman, that way we can meet everywhere as long as anyone among us is familiar with the place” Wu Xiaotian suggested, causing his mother to react as if she’s seen a genius, wondering how she could forget such convenient item in a moment like this.
“I’ll inform mother about it, let’s wait for mother-in-law first, I think she would also like to meet mother” Su Meiyao replied before hugging her son again, looking up at him with a grateful eye as she knows how hard it would be to meet her mother without his help.
“Thank you for trusting mama so much, Tian’er” after a while of silence in the room, she said while her face is buried on her son’s chest, just realizing now how much trust she puts in her for him to reveal the existence of something as absurd as his system to her.
“You’re my mother, someone who literally made me into who I am today, why should I not trust you mom? Besides no matter how bad the rumors surrounding a woman, who wouldn’t trust someone as beautiful as you mom? Not to mention there’s not a single bad rumor about you” he answered before kissing her forehead, the lady humming in joy before she replied to him.
“You and your glib tongue, you’re always wooing mama with your praises” she said while looking at him with pouting lips, making her appear really cute in his eyes.
“But you love it mom, don’t you? Being praised” he said before he moves his kiss to her eyebrows then eyes, her mother closing her eyelid as he does so.
“I only love it when you’re the one praising me, baby” she replied as she moves her hands to hug him around his neck, enjoying the sensation of his lips repeatedly pecking on her beautiful face.
“Mom has such a specific kink huh…” he teased before moving on her smooth neck, pulling her down as he laid his back on the bed again, making the lady squeal as they fall down.
“Ahhhnnn~~~ It’s not a kiinnkk~~~” she struggled to retort as her son continues to kiss and suck on her smooth, milky white neck, the extremely great sensation making her brain feel numb.
