Chapter 67 Ah Chen's Visit to Relatives (Part Two)

Finally seeing his mother, Achen struggled to jump down from the guard's arms, his little face flushed with embarrassment.

Yu Shan suppressed a laugh, took Xi'er directly from the new dad's hands, and put her into her son's hands.

"Xi'er! Xi'er! It's your brother, do you recognize me?" Achen was so excited that he kept his hands in a supporting position, not daring to move, for fear of bumping or hurting the little one in his arms.

“Ah! Woo-wah! Ba-ba…” Xi’er opened her eyes wide. Although it was the first time she had seen the older brother, she was obviously very familiar with his aura. She was very excited when she saw him and a series of baby language words popped out.

"Mom, Xi'er knows me, she's talking to me!" Achen said excitedly.

"Was Xi'er frightened by him? She was so quiet in his arms just now," Xiao Bai said jealously.

"No way! My little sister loves me the most. I've communicated with her many times using my mental powers when she was still in Mom's belly!" Achen protested.

"Alright, you two, what's there to argue about? Xi'er feels safe in her father's arms, so she behaves very quietly."

It's normal for a child to be excited when they see their older brother and want to play with other children.

"Let's go out and see what wild vegetables we can pick. Today, let Hua Jingyi show off her skills and give Ah Chen a better meal."

Feather Fan pulled Little White out of the room, so that the brother and sister could have some time alone together.

Ah Chen originally missed his mother very much, but as soon as he saw his younger sister, all he could see was his sister.

How adorable she is! Her little red mouth is like a cherry, and her fine, soft silver curls look just like his hair.

And those tiny little hands, if placed in his palm, could be completely enveloped.

Her smile was like a ray of sunshine, warming and softening his heart.

Holding the tiny baby in my arms felt like holding a cloud, so light and airy, and with a sweet, milky scent. I really wanted to kiss her.

But I was afraid of scaring her, and also afraid of hurting her delicate little face.

Ah Chen felt that he was willing to be a doting brother to his younger sister. In the past, when his mother told him stories, she talked about those brothers who spoiled their younger sisters without any limits.

They call that being a siscon.

Brothers who have a tendency to be overly protective of their sisters will unconditionally fulfill any unreasonable requests their sisters make.

At that time, Ah Chen couldn't help but feel disdain, saying that if it were him, he would definitely teach his sister well, make her understand right and wrong, and resolutely refuse unreasonable demands.

But now, after only holding his younger sister for a few minutes, he felt he couldn't bear to refuse her request at all.

He must work harder in the future, become stronger, protect his mother and sister, and do his best to meet his sister's needs.

Ah Chen's arms were aching, but he finally saw his father carrying a bunch of shepherd's purse into the house, followed by his mother and Mrs. Xuan.

"My darling Chen, you're here! Your godmother has missed you so much! Are you tired? Quickly, let me hold Xi'er!" Madam Xuan said with a beaming smile.

Achen noticed that after she took Xi'er in, all her attention was focused on her younger sister, as if she had forgotten about him, her godson.

Soon, Uncle Matt and Aunt Mina arrived. After greeting Achen and asking him about his life at the academy, they all surrounded Xi'er, racking their brains to make her laugh.

Well, it seems like nobody's paying much attention to him anymore.

In the past, whenever he was around, everyone's attention would revolve around him.

Ah Chen felt a little disappointed, but when she thought that everyone's attention had been diverted to Xi'er, she felt that it was all justified.

Who can blame me when my little sister is so cute?

Even he did the same, shifting his attention from his mother to Xi'er.

Feather Fan noticed her son's slight disappointment, put her arm around his shoulder, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Would you like to come with Mom to see our clan's territory?"

“I’ve been thinking about it! What are my mother’s people like? What is their homeland like?” Achen nodded earnestly.

With a feather fan in her hand, the mother and son walked out of the room.

Along the way, everyone they met greeted them warmly. Some of the more reserved people would nod or smile shyly at them.

Ah Chen noticed that the people here were very poor, only slightly better off than the 18th District where he used to live. They weren't starving and emaciated, but they were all dressed very simply.

"My people were once well-fed and clothed. In order to save me, they collectively sacrificed half of their lives, which resulted in a great loss of fighting strength in the tribe."

"So I'm going to stay here until I can lead them to a better life. Son, can you understand your mother's choice?" Yu Shan said.

"Yes, when I grow up, I will do my best to help my people," Achen said solemnly.

Feather fan glistened with tears. Her son referred to her as "my people," acknowledging himself as a member of the Holy Witch Clan, simply because he unconditionally trusted and loved her as his mother.

"Thank you, my darling!" Feather Fan bent down and kissed his forehead.

"I should be thanking my mother, because she persevered in giving birth to me in such a harsh environment in District 50."

"You gave me life and made me a super genius. Even the academy's instructors are so eager to hide me away that they're afraid others will be jealous," said Achen.

Feather Fan felt slightly guilty. Getting pregnant with A-Chen was purely accidental. At that time, the mother on Green Algae Star was about to die, and her split soul triggered the split soul on Blue Star. The two split souls merged into one, which saved A-Chen's fetus.

At that time, the split soul on Blue Star thought it was a transmigrator and didn't want the child at all. However, due to the laws of Green Algae Star, it was unable to have an abortion and was forced to keep Achen.

However, she grew to love Achen more and more. When it came time to give birth, she was even willing to die herself so that Achen could live.

The deep bond between mother and child was cultivated during that time.

Later, she and Ah Chen struggled to survive in District 48, and their lives gradually improved. However, her son did not develop a spoiled and extravagant personality.

He has always been so sensible and ambitious. When she was unconscious, he carried her to safety on his own and never once thought of abandoning her as his mother.

Now, he stands by her side without hesitation, willing to shoulder the responsibility of supporting his people for her sake.

“Son, you are the best gift God has given to your mother, and so is Xi’er. You are both my precious treasures, and I will always love you both and will not favor one over the other,” Yu Shan said, hugging her son tightly.

"Actually, Mom still favors me a little more because I arrived eight years earlier than Xi'er. I have enjoyed Mom's love for eight years, while Xi'er doesn't."

"However, to make up for the eight years I missed with Xi'er, I've decided to love her a little more from now on," Achen replied with a smile.

Seeing her son's cheerful and generous smile, Yu Shan finally felt relieved.

She is truly lucky. God gave her such a considerate and warm-hearted boy, and also a wonderful daughter who protected her mother with all her might even before she was born.

The mother and son continued their walk within the clan's territory, listening to Achen recount how he learned to draw talismans in the void, which left Yu Shan utterly astonished.

She had already cultivated to the Tongtian Realm, but she had never heard of anyone being able to draw talismans in the air. However, her son, who was only eight years old, learned to draw talismans in the air based on a book of notes from an ancient person.

The previous two-way teleportation talisman and the current mid-range teleportation talisman both do not require talisman paper as a medium.

Such talent is more than just genius; it's monstrous!

"Remember! You are no longer allowed to use this void teleportation talisman to come to Baiyang Town, and try to keep a low profile in the academy."

"Before you break through to the Heavenly Realm, try your best not to attract the attention of those powerful forces," Yu Shan said nervously.

She was well aware of the implications, and given her current lack of strength, she was unable to provide her son with adequate protection.

"Don't worry, Mom! Instructor Chang said that students can stay at the academy for fifty years, and if they are good enough, they can stay as instructors after fifty years."

"With the academy as my backing, no one can easily harm me," Ah Chen said.

In his heart, he thought that he shouldn't need fifty years to break through to the Heavenly Questioning Realm.

At that time, he will not only be able to protect himself, but also the Holy Witch Clan.
