Shangguan Yichen's face darkened, and he awkwardly turned his face away, ignoring his stepmother. Humph!
The little boy's eyelids drooped, and he drifted off to sleep. Around noon, he was woken up by hunger and awkwardly opened his eyes.
"Big brother, you're awake? Mom made you chicken soup! It smells so good, it's making Mo Mo's mouth water..." Bai Zimo grinned and waved his chubby little hand in front of Shangguan Yichen's eyes.
Shangguan Yichen was slightly taken aback. Chicken soup? He didn't remember having any wild pheasants at home...
"Sixth Brother, has she gone up the mountain?"
"Mmm, Mommy is so amazing! She went hunting in the mountains with Aunt Yue." The little guy's eyes were full of admiration as he chattered on and on.
Shangguan Yunxi brought over a bowl of chicken soup with a smile: "Big brother, Mother made this for you herself, drink it quickly."
"..." Shangguan Yichen's lips twitched. A bunch of little traitors.
Shangguan Yunxi's eyes darted around, wondering what had happened yesterday. She tried to get information out of him, watching her older brother enjoy his chicken soup while subtly asking him questions.
Shangguan Yichen gulped down the chicken soup, then lay back down without a word, turning his back to his siblings, which made the little ones glare at him.
Mo Qingcheng, who had just lifted one foot: "..."
Shangguan Yunxi led her younger siblings and Mo Qingcheng to the courtyard, knowing that her older brother and mother had something to say.
"Aren't you going out yet?" the young boy asked impatiently.
Mo Qingcheng shrugged: "Okay!"
"stop!"
"Call me 'Mother' and let me hear it." Mo Qingcheng smiled mischievously and stepped forward.
Shangguan Yichen turned around, his cold eyes glaring at Mo Qingcheng: "You lied to me!"
"yes!"
Shangguan Yichen: "..."
A stepmother is a stepmother after all; she admitted it so quickly?
Mo Qingcheng smiled without saying a word, simply gazing at the young boy quietly.
Shangguan Yichen was the first to give in: "Speak, what else?"
"No, there's nothing left. Knowing would have brought you death. That's it. Don't ask about it or think about it anymore. Your mother would never harm you..." Mo Qingcheng said earnestly, secretly planning how to mold the young boy into a powerful figure in the martial arts world.
Shangguan Yichen's lips curled into a smile. "I don't believe you, you idiot."
"There's a demonic energy within you. Don't get angry. You're more adorable when you smile." Mo Qingcheng said this before turning and floating away.
The young boy's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, but he was ultimately still possessed by the demonic energy.
If you want my life, bring it on.
Shangguan Yichen learned by chance that he had been struck by the Soul-Devouring Palm before being rescued by Xuanyuan Lin, and that a wisp of demonic energy remained within his body. He hadn't expected his stepmother to be so powerful.
That evening, Mo Qingcheng, her face dark, chased Hu Lai and Yun Lei away. "You have no shame, but this lady and Sister Yue still have some dignity."
Bai Yueniang lowered her head, not daring to breathe loudly. Heavens, Sister Mo was actually going to drive Doctor Hu away?
Before dinner, Shangguan Yichen and Mu Yunchuan had a little argument with Hu Lai and took the opportunity to vent: "Dr. Hu, are you coveting Mother's beauty?"
Hu Lai was pierced by a thousand arrows, while Yun Lei watched the spectacle from the sidelines. Mu Yun Chuan said quietly, "Mother, didn't you say you were an orphan? No siblings? Your cheap uncle is definitely not a blood relative..."
Yun Lei was speechless, completely dumbfounded by the little girl's retort.
Bai Ziming and his sister, along with Mu Wanqing, clapped and cheered. Their father wasn't home, and the two grown men living at home were causing gossip.
Mo Qingcheng waved her little hand: "Go to the protection team leader next door. Don't climb over the wall."
Hu Lai and Yun Lei were bewildered in the wind...
