Chapter 37 How can this not be considered a loli mother?
Seeing the soft and adorable little girl in front of him, Cheng Xiao once again marveled at the incredible vitality of the dragon race.
Just a few months ago, he was on the verge of death, lying on the ground waiting to die.
But he only put a fake dragon tendon on Long Yingxue, and she was able to quickly recover to the point where she could transform.
As expected of the dragon race, which embodies the essence of heaven and earth.
Seeing Cheng Xiao staring at her without saying a word for a long time, Long Yingxue suddenly felt a little nervous.
She curled up into a ball, trying to cover as much of her exposed body as possible.
Facing the human boy who had just helped her through a difficult time, she wanted to say some high-sounding words, but what came out of her mouth was a somewhat awkward expression of concern: "You didn't die in there."
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill." Cheng Xiao suppressed his surprise and walked towards Long Yingxue.
This bold move startled Little Dragon Girl, who quickly cried out, "Do you have any clothes? At least give me something to wear!"
Cheng Xiao continued walking forward. He walked to Long Yingxue's side, took her hand, and checked her condition.
"You don't usually wear clothes anyway," he said quietly.
After he finished speaking, he, as usual, channeled the spiritual energy in his soul into Long Yingxue's body.
Now her strength has recovered to the Golden Core level, her progress is rapid, and she can accept more spiritual energy.
Long Yingxue blinked, probably not expecting Cheng Xiao to say such a thing, and was momentarily stunned.
After a long pause, she blushed and said, "Normally it's normal, but now I'm in human form. Besides, even in my true form, I have scales on my body, so it's not like I'm naked."
Long Yingxue felt that pure spiritual power once again.
She silently absorbed the energy, consolidating her newly restored cultivation.
When Long Yingxue first met this human boy, he was clearly just a useless person with no cultivation.
I don't know where he got so much pure spiritual energy.
Even when she was still a dragon princess, she had never seen any similar rare and precious treasures.
The things in the Dragon Palace are not even half as good as this spiritual power.
Although Long Yingxue was curious, she knew that everyone has their own secrets, so she didn't dwell on it too much, since the two of them were just in a transactional relationship.
After transferring the spiritual energy, Cheng Xiao stood up.
He picked up the robe he had taken off earlier and threw it at Long Yingxue.
"If that's the case, then you were practically naked when we first met," he said casually.
Hearing this, Long Yingxue was a little annoyed. How could someone rub salt into someone's wounds like that?
As expected, the pervert is still the same pervert.
But when she thought about how this human had just shared life and death with her, she didn't seem so angry anymore; she guessed he was just saying one thing and meaning another.
She had heard before when she was in the Dragon Palace that humans go through this stage when they are teenagers.
She's so much older, it's only right that she gives in to the kids.
After figuring it out, Long Yingxue gave a soft hum. She draped the robe over herself and wrapped it around herself, making it barely wearable.
However, it's merely wearable; the clothes have absolutely no aesthetic appeal.
But this did not diminish Long Yingxue's beauty in the slightest.
"Why are you staring at me?" she asked after changing her clothes.
Cheng Xiao turned his head and walked out on his own, saying as he went, "I just didn't expect that your dragon form was so big, but it turned out that you were just a child after transforming."
Long Yingxue followed with her short legs, muttering, "Kid? You're the kid! I'm 1042 years old, how old are you? Sixteen? Don't even mention being your mother, I'm old enough to be your ancestor!"
Cheng Xiao sensed it with his divine soul and then said, "What you said is wrong. The Cheng family has an ancestor who is over three thousand years old. You are younger than him."
He has conducted an investigation and has evidence.
"No matter what, I'm older than you. If you want, you can call me Mom. It's good that you don't have a mom." Long Yingxue tilted her head back and spoke provocatively in her childish voice.
Cheng Xiao was clearly not buying it at all; he didn't even acknowledge the Little Dragon Girl.
But Long Yingxue didn't give up; she kept talking incessantly.
"Why don't you think about it?"
"Look, I'm your elder now, so you can't torment me like that in the future."
"I know, you're just rebellious, I understand kids your age."
"..."
Perhaps it was the successful transformation that allowed Long Yingxue to regain some dignity; in any case, she was in a good mood now, having shaken off the gloom of the past.
She also revealed some of her former personality traits.
Before the tragedy, she was just a carefree child.
Although Cheng Xiao remained silent, that didn't stop Long Yingxue from chattering incessantly the whole way.
When they returned to the cabin, the sky was already turning white.
After a night of practice, they all gained something.
Long Yingxue was a little tired, so she transformed back into a dragon, shrunk her body, and wrapped herself around Cheng Xiao's arm.
There are advantages to being human, and there are advantages to being a dragon.
For example, she can go to sleep now.
But before she could fall asleep, Cheng Xiao patted her and said, "Don't sleep yet, there's someone in the room."
These words startled Long Yingxue.
She knew this wasn't the time to joke, and she became alert as well.
Cheng Xiao initially thought they were there to cause trouble, but through his spiritual senses he saw a beautiful woman sitting on his bed, wiping away tears.
The woman looked very sad, and tears kept streaming down her face.
Cheng Xiao felt a sense of familiarity.
He thought about it carefully and then remembered that the woman sitting on the bed was actually the original owner's birth mother, Li Mu.
It is also one of the culprits that caused the original owner's supreme spiritual bones to be dug up.
The original owner trusted her mother completely, ate the food she poisoned, and had her bones dug out while she was unconscious, without even a chance to escape.
Cheng Xiao didn't know why this woman was crying on his bed so early in the morning.
Are they here to mourn?
After quickly reviewing the original owner's memories, Cheng Xiao pushed open the door and walked straight in. He tried his best to make his mindset close to the original owner's and act as convincingly as possible.
As soon as he opened the door, Li Mu quickly stood up from the bed: "Xiao'er, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"
The woman forced a smile onto her face to appear kind and approachable.
Cheng Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, her face streaked with tears.
In order not to reveal his identity or make any mistakes, he tried his best to make himself look like a sixteen-year-old boy who was filled with anger and grievance after being betrayed.
"There's so much dirty and tiring work in this Spirit Beast Garden, where can I go?" Cheng Xiao replied coldly.
Li Mu quickly wiped away her tears and took two steps forward, trying to grab Cheng Xiao's sleeve.
His eyes were full of pleading.
"Xiao'er, listen to your mother, go back and apologize to your father! As long as you're willing to go back and soften your stance, and stop throwing tantrums, your father will definitely soften his heart. He knows so many powerful people, he'll surely find a way to help you restore your cultivation!"
Even Cheng Xiao, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, was shocked by these words. He had never seen such a terrifying mother.
Tiger poison does not eat children.
He dug up his own son's supreme spiritual bone and then demanded that his son go back and apologize?
Cheng Xiao abruptly shook off her hand, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
"Admit wrongdoing? What wrong have I done? They were the ones who poisoned me and dug up my spiritual bones, and now they want me to admit wrongdoing? That's absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mu stamped her feet in distress, and tears streamed down her face again.
She probably didn't expect that her usually sensible and well-behaved son would actually argue with her.
"Why are you so stubborn, child! Your younger brother Chengxian is the most talented among your generation. Giving him the bone will allow him to inherit the Cheng family's legacy and carry on its glory. This is for the future of the family! When your brother achieves great success in the future, he will definitely not forget his older brother. What are you so angry about!"
Cheng Xiao found these words utterly ridiculous.
In his memory, the original owner's talent was clearly far superior to that of the illegitimate Cheng Xian, making him a true prodigy.
But because of his father's favoritism, and even his own mother's favoritism, a true genius was ruined.
If it weren't for his appearance, the original owner would have already died in this cold spirit beast garden.
He didn't even get to wait for his mother to beg him to go back and "apologize."
"My talent is clearly superior to his! Why should I be sacrificed to make him successful? Everyone in this family is biased towards Cheng Xian, even you, his own mother, are speaking up for them! I can't go back, not even if I die!" Cheng Xiao's tone was desperate, and every word was filled with accusation.
Long Yingxue, who was wrapped around Cheng Xiao's arm, listened to everything silently, her body involuntarily tightening slightly.
This experience is so similar to when she was stripped of everything in the Dragon Palace.
She suddenly realized that this cold-blooded and ruthless human was actually just a pitiful sixteen-year-old boy.
Li Mu cried even harder, her voice trembling.
"Xiao'er, you've always been pampered since you were little, when have you ever suffered like this! Look at this place, it's filthy and smelly, worse than a servant's place. Come back with me, go back to your room and rest and recover, I'm begging you..."
"Absolutely not. The one who should apologize is Cheng Xian, the head of the Cheng family who condoned their violence, and the entire Cheng family! Why should I, the victim, have to go back and bow my head?" Cheng Xiao's attitude was resolute.
Seeing that Cheng Xiao was unmoved by her words, Li Mu's crying suddenly stopped.
She raised her head, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, her tone becoming almost humble and pleading: "Xiao'er, please have pity on your mother! Do you know that ever since you became a cripple and were kicked out, your father hasn't come to my room for a long time?"
Li Mu stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Xiao's clothes tightly.
"As long as you go back, make your father happy, and stop making him angry, he'll definitely love our family as before! Xiao'er, just for the sake of your mother who gave birth to you and raised you, go back!"
A chill ran through Cheng Xiao's heart.
He had assumed that the woman, who had come here to cry late at night, at least felt a little bit of guilt as a mother towards her son.
Unexpectedly, she had no family affection at all.
He felt sorry and sad for the original owner of the body.
In the eyes of her birth mother, the pain of her son's bones being removed was not important at all; her son was merely a tool for her to compete with that man for his favor and to solidify her position.
She came to beg him to go back, but in the end, it was only for her own sake.
If the original owner were still alive, she would probably be so angry that she would die on the spot.
Cheng Xiao was too lazy to act anymore. The anger in his eyes gradually faded, and he regained his composure.
He looked down at Li Mu and ruthlessly shattered her pathetic illusion: "Wake up. That man doesn't love you at all. Even if I go back and beg for his forgiveness like a dog, it won't change the fact that he doesn't care about you at all."
"impossible!"
Li Mu shrieked like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.
She couldn't even be bothered to pretend to be gentle anymore.
Her once beautiful face was now somewhat distorted.
She screamed hysterically, "To win his love, to secure my place in this family, I even poisoned and dug up my own son's remains! I paid such a high price, how could he not love me?!"
Looking at the woman in front of him, who had become completely obsessed with vanity and that pitiful amount of affection, Cheng Xiao no longer wanted to waste any more words.
He said calmly, "From this day forward, we sever our mother-son relationship. We are now just strangers. You are no longer my mother, and I am no longer your son."
Perhaps this is what the original owner would want to say if they were here.
Such a mother no longer deserves to be called a mother.
After saying that, Cheng Xiao grabbed Li Mu by the collar and threw her out.
"Xiao'er! You can't do this to your mother! Xiao'er, open the door!"
Cheng Xiao slammed the wooden door shut.
No matter how much Li Mu pounded on the door or how desperately he begged and cried outside, Cheng Xiao paid no attention.
Soon, the sounds outside gradually faded away, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Li Mu gradually walked away.
After everything settled down, Long Yingxuehua jumped out in human form, still wearing that large robe.
She was already very tired, but everything that had just happened made her wide awake.
Long Yingxue looked at Cheng Xiao, only to find that the human's eyes remained calm, as if nothing had just happened.
It's hard to imagine that he could remain so calm after what just happened.
However, Long Yingxue understood.
Even your own mother treats you like this; perhaps your heart is broken.
"Are you... alright?" she asked cautiously.
Cheng Xiao was a little confused by the question. Did he look like he was in a bad state?
"It's alright. If you're tired, get some rest. There's a new training program tomorrow," he instructed.
Cheng Xiao was fine, of course, since he wasn't the original owner of this body and he didn't have any emotions or desires.
What could he possibly have to do?
Cheng Xiao was indeed fine, but Long Yingxue didn't see it that way. In her opinion, the young man in front of her was just putting on a brave face.
She was clearly very sad, but she pretended that nothing had happened.
The more she looked at it, the more pitiful she felt.
"If you don't want that kind of mother, then so be it. Remember, it's you who doesn't want her, not the other way around," Long Yingxue began to comfort Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao didn't say a word, and she understood perfectly.
It's understandable that children of this age often try to alleviate their sadness by acting cool.
Long Yingxue thought for a moment.
She stood on the bed board, so that she was a little taller than Cheng Xiao, who was sitting.
"I wasn't joking just now. I can be your mother. Now your 'mother' position is vacant. From now on, I will be your mother."
After Long Yingxue finished speaking, she pressed Cheng Xiao's head directly against her chest.
"Don't be afraid, Mommy will always be with you."
