#2428 - No, you are a child!

Jun Wuxie inquired about the specific situation.

His mother, Jun Yu Nuo, explained that Mo Qingli was originally a goddess of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect in the Hunyuan Great World, with profound cultivation.

Later, when she was about to take over as the Sect Master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect, she was severely injured due to a power struggle by the Sect's Divine Son and some of the Sect's higher-ups. She used the power of the Sect's ancient artifact to escape to the Godly Ancient World, almost losing all her cultivation.

Later, in the Godly Ancient World, she entered a sect called the Taiqing Sect, where she cultivated and recovered from her injuries.

The Taiqing Sect was created by people from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect of the Hunyuan Great World who had fled to the Godly Ancient World for refuge due to various reasons in ancient times.

When Jun Yu Nuo met Mo Qingli, her cultivation had already recovered to the level of a Constellation God.

However, she had been trapped in a desperate situation for many years, leading to the exhaustion of her life force, and her flame of life was almost extinguished.

"So that's how it is. It seems that this Mo Qingli also has a difficult fate.

She almost sat on the position of a generation of powerful leader in the Hunyuan Great World, but suddenly fell from the clouds into the abyss, enduring torment in this Godly Ancient World, and was trapped in a desperate situation for countless years."

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sneer, "The marriage contract she signed with my mother wasn't a deception, but she had a condition, saying that we needed to find her with the marriage contract before she would fulfill the engagement.

It seems that the Taiqing Sect must be in a very secret place in the starry sky.

Sects like the Taiqing Sect generally do not appear in the world.

In the Godly Ancient World, their figures have never been seen in any of the apocalyptic torrents.

Wanting to find the Taiqing Sect is easier said than done.

Therefore, she expected that we would not be able to find her at all.

Speaking of which, she had no sincerity at all when she signed the marriage contract at that time.

Now, when she encounters difficulties, she comes to my mother for help."

"That's right, that's indeed the case. In those years, my mother didn't understand the Hunyuan Great World and had very little knowledge of the cultivation world, so she didn't think so much.

As my mother learned more and more, she naturally understood in her heart that Mo Qingli had left a way out for herself back then."

"Since that's the case, why did Mother still take out the marriage contract?

Could it be that Mother really wants to help her?"

"That's what Mother thinks. Mother has to guard Changsheng and resist the dark creatures, so it's not convenient to leave. Therefore, I want you to go to the Taiqing Sect to help her. After it's done, let her fulfill the marriage contract."

"Mother, what are you thinking? She has no sincerity, yet you still want me to make her fulfill the marriage contract…"

Jun Wuxie was speechless and really didn't want to bother with this matter.

"Hmph, Mother saved her back then, no matter what.

Since she made a promise and signed the marriage contract, she should fulfill it. Otherwise, does she think we are easy to bully?

Besides, Mo Qingli is the number one beauty in the Hunyuan Great World.

Back then, when she was about to take over as the Sect Master, the people of the Hunyuan Great World called her the most beautiful Taiqing Goddess Immortal Venerable in history!

When Mother saved her, she was very weak and haggard. Even so, her appearance was still so beautiful that it was breathtaking. After she recovered a bit, her appearance was no less than that of Ci Yin.

Such a beautiful woman can only be my daughter-in-law, don't even think about running away!

She left a way out for herself back then, not wanting to fulfill the marriage contract. This is indeed infuriating.

Therefore, you have to be domineering towards her this time. Don't come back until you conquer her and make her completely obedient!"

Jun Wuxie supported his forehead with his hand, his lips twitching, not knowing what to say.

"Mother, do you have some special preferences?"

Jun Wuxie looked at his mother with a strange gaze.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jun Yu Nuo stretched out her hand to pinch and pull his cheeks, "What special preferences?"

"A beauty collecting hobby…"

Jun Wuxie also learned from his mother, pinching and pulling her cheeks, just like when he used to play with his mother when he was young.

"You brat, Mother is supporting you, letting you collect beauties under orders, and you're still not happy?"

Jun Yu Nuo was a little guilty, recalling that before she came to the Godly Ancient World, she liked to read danmei novels about women in her hometown.

Could it be that she really has a beauty collecting hobby?

Anyway, the thought that such a beautiful woman might one day be taken by someone else made her feel uncomfortable all over. If anyone is to take her, it can only be her precious son!

"No, it's not a beauty collecting hobby, it's maternal love! Great maternal love for the happiness of her son!"

She told herself this in her heart.

"Mother, what are you thinking about?"

Jun Wuxie pulled his mother's face out of shape, bringing her back to her senses.

"You brat, let go, you're hurting Mother, you have no respect for elders!" Jun Yu Nuo slapped her son's hand away and looked at him with a threatening gaze, "Tell me, are you going or not?"

"I'm not going!"

"If you don't go, you're not allowed to see Mother within a hundred years!"

"Hehe, as long as Mother can bear not seeing me, then…"

"What did you say? Are you really prepared not to see Mother for a hundred years?"

Jun Yu Nuo's eyes were red, looking like she had lost all hope in life and was heartbroken.

"Alright, alright, I'll go. You always use tears to threaten me…"

Jun Wuxie surrendered. He had no doubt that as long as he said yes, his mother's tears would instantly flow down.

She had used this trick on him since he was a child, and it always worked.

"It's settled?"

Jun Yu Nuo had a triumphant smile in her eyes, and there were no more tears.

"It's settled, I promised Mother!"

Jun Wuxie said helplessly, feeling hopeless.

"That's my good son, so obedient."

Jun Yu Nuo revealed a victorious smile and reached out to hug him into her arms, rubbing his hair.

"Mother, I'm not a child anymore, please don't rub my hair, okay?"

"No, you are a child!"

"I'm not!"

"If Mother says you are, then you are. Be a good boy, don't make trouble ~"

Jun Yu Nuo said, gently patting his back, looking like she was coaxing a child.

"Ah—"

Jun Wuxie sighed helplessly, feeling quite speechless, and could only let his mother ravage him.

Anyway, there's no one else here, so let her satisfy her majesty and maternal glow as a mother.

After a long while, Jun Yu Nuo suddenly noticed that the son in her arms was no longer moving.

She couldn't help but look down, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then the corners of her mouth curled up in a gentle and doting smile.

Her son actually fell asleep.

How could a strong person like him easily fall asleep?

Even if he didn't close his eyes for ten thousand years, he wouldn't feel tired, but in her arms, he fell into a dream after only a moment.

She gently placed her son's head on her lap and looked down at his sleeping face.

Asleep, there was still a hint of helplessness on his face, but also a hint of warmth, and he was very relaxed.

"Mother hasn't seen you sleep like this for many years.

It's Mother's fault, Mother is not capable, didn't protect you well, couldn't go to the lower realm to accompany you to grow up, leaving you in the Xiao family, lonely and helpless, being persecuted…"

Jun Yu Nuo felt incomparably sad and guilty in her heart. As she thought about it, crystal tears fell from her eyes, dripping on Jun Wuxie's face, flowing down his cheeks to his neck.

"Wuxie, don't worry, Mother will never leave you again. Mother will accompany you to the top and watch you pacify the heavens, have many children and grandchildren, and be happy and joyful."

She gently stroked Jun Wuxie's face, as if stroking a treasure.

No, her son is a thousand times, ten thousand times more precious than a treasure in her heart!

Jun Wuxie slept for a long time.

It was already the next day when he woke up.

He opened his eyes somewhat blankly and saw that his mother was still sitting on the futon as she had been yesterday, while he was resting his head on his mother's lap.

He didn't even know how he fell asleep yesterday.

Suddenly, he felt relaxed in body and mind, as if he had moved into a sheltered harbor. Sleepiness came over him, and he didn't know what happened after that.

"How many years has it been since I've felt this warm…"

He thought in his heart, like a child, reaching out to hug his mother, leaning his head against her, just like when he was young, he could always fall into a deep sleep in his mother's arms.

"Woke up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Jun Yu Nuo's voice was particularly gentle, her eyes filled with doting, and she gently stroked his face.

"Let me doze off for a while, just a little while.

Then, I'm going back to the Upper Realm.

Mother, come with me."

"Okay." Jun Yu Nuo's voice was very soft, her smile very gentle, "It's fine wherever you want Mother to go with you. Mother really wants to be by your side every moment. I can only feel at ease when I can see you."

"When the heavens are pacified in the future and the mastermind behind the scenes is resolved, your son and your daughters-in-law will always accompany Mother."

"Hmph, Mother thinks you want to accompany your wives, where are you thinking of accompanying Mother?"

"I'm wronged. Except for Yao'er, all of them combined don't amount to one ten-thousandth of Mother's weight in my heart."

"Really? Mother doesn't believe it. You're just saying nice things to coax Mother."

Jun Yu Nuo felt sweet in her heart. It seemed that she was still the most important person in her son's heart. No matter how many wives he had, he wouldn't forget his mother after marrying a wife.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Wan. I once said in front of Ci Yin and the others that they combined don't amount to one ten-thousandth of Mother's weight in my heart.

Mother gave me life, brought me into this world, took care of me as I grew up, accompanied me as I grew up, and took care of me in every possible way. Of course, she's the most important woman in my life."

"Only you have a sweet mouth, almost melting Mother's heart.

You brat, who told you to be so sentimental ~"

Jun Yu Nuo blamed him on the mouth, but her face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile, and her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I made you sad back then…"

Just as Jun Yu Nuo felt guilty for not being able to protect her son, Jun Wuxie also felt guilty that he was not strong enough back then and was besieged and killed.

He couldn't even imagine how heartbroken his mother must have been when she came and saw his body broken and incomplete.

The bond between them, as mother and son, was far deeper than most. After all, he had no father, and mother and son depended on each other for survival. He was the entirety of his mother's life.

"It's all mother's fault. Mother is so sorry for you..."

Jun Yu Nuo's tears fell like rain.

Her son was actually blaming himself for that incident.

How could he blame himself? It clearly wasn't his fault. It was she, as his mother, who hadn't fulfilled her responsibility to protect her child…

…

The mother and son stayed another day, finally emerging from their room the next day.

Jun Wu Xie informed Yue Yao, Chu Mo Li, Chu Yu Die, and Queen Rhine about his engagement with Mo Qing Li, and told them that he would be returning to the Lower Realm.

"Mother, Wu Xie-gege, you can go without worry. With Yao'er, Mo Li, Yu Die, and Rhine here, there's nothing to be concerned about."

They escorted Jun Yu Nuo and Jun Wu Xie all the way out of the Alliance Fortress, watching them depart until their figures disappeared from sight.
