Chapter 107 A Well-Intentioned Scheme
"Danger is unavoidable, but I will do everything in my power to protect her. Most importantly, I hope she can live a peaceful and happy life."
After breaking through to SSS level, the lifespan of a superhuman can be extended to five hundred years.
Longevity is certainly a good thing, but without a partner and confidant to walk alongside you and cherish you, a long life can sometimes be a torment.
Over the years, she has secluded herself in a small children's clothing store, using those beautiful children's clothes to express her longing for her deceased daughter, but at the same time, this longing is accompanied by endless torment.
So I want her to completely let go of her past obsessions and go to a wider world to find the meaning of life.
Of course, I don't deny my own selfish motives. I want to take this opportunity to see her every day, which is the only chance I can have to be with her for the rest of my life.
I don't want to give up. Even if my efforts still can't melt the ice in her heart, at least I tried, didn't I?
Xiao Ran's frankness moved Xiao Bai. He really wanted to help him win back his sweetheart, but unfortunately, he was powerless to do so.
“Mr. Xiao, I will convey your message to my wife. I believe that with her intelligence, she should be able to find a way to persuade Mrs. Xuan to come with us,” Xiao Bai said earnestly.
"Thank you! I look forward to hearing good news!" Xiao Ran stood up to express her gratitude, then took her leave.
Meanwhile, Matt and Omar got along very well and even exchanged contact numbers before parting.
That night, in bed, Xiaobai was extremely tender and affectionate. At the end, he hugged the feather fan tightly and sighed, "Compared to Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xuan, we are much luckier."
After hearing his explanation of the whole story, Yu Shan also felt that it would be a great pity if the two of them couldn't be together.
The next day, she specially wrote an invitation, inviting Madam Xuan to come and taste the food she had personally prepared.
Madam Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse Yu Shan's invitation. In her view, simply giving away the cost of a mecha was far from enough to repay Yu Shan's kindness in helping her break through her limits.
Mrs. Xuan brought her collection of aged fruit wines and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
"How beautiful! This is the first bouquet of flowers I've ever received from my girlfriend. You're so thoughtful, Madam!" Yu Shan smiled brightly.
"This is a flower unique to our city of Bran, called Starlight Bubble. It is vacuum-sealed and preserved in plastic film during harvesting to keep it fresh forever."
Its petals are light pink during the day and emit a faint fluorescence at night.
The most amazing thing is that its stamens have more than a dozen different colors.
Every night, bubbles emerge from the flower's stamen, their colors matching the flower's color, creating a vibrant display of colorful bubbles from a single bloom.
"These bubbles contain a special ingredient that, when inhaled by pregnant women, will make them feel happy and have sweet dreams all night long," Mrs. Xuan explained.
"My goodness! This is so precious! Thank you!" Feather Fan exclaimed.
"I know that after four months, the fetus can sense the mother's emotional changes. If you are happy, she will be happy too."
"I feel a connection with your Xi'er, so I hope that she can be happy and carefree from the very beginning of her life," said Madam Xuan.
Yu Shan knew that Madam Xuan was experiencing a kind of transference; she was transferring the maternal love she owed to her own daughter to her son, Xi'er.
The feather fan took out the delicacies stored in the space: dumplings with bamboo rat meat and bamboo shoot filling, double-skin milk, glutinous rice meatballs, and sweet fermented rice balls.
When Yu Shan, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan who had never lifted a finger before, read about these delicacies from her memories, she couldn't believe that they were made by her after her reincarnation.
Fortunately, as Zuo Shan, she had stored up a lot of food before she fell into a coma; otherwise, even if she had her memories now, she wouldn't have the patience to cook delicious food.
As Madam Xuan savored the food, she exclaimed in amazement, "My goodness! Miss Feather Fan, you have completely won over my taste buds! I only regret that I am not a man, otherwise I would definitely snatch you away from Mr. Bai!"
"Then he can probably only watch with tears in his eyes, because he can't beat you." Feather Fan laughed.
“I should record this conversation and play it back to him later to see if he can still maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.” Madam Xuan also laughed, clutching her stomach.
The two got along well, and with flowers, delicious food, and fine wine, the atmosphere was more harmonious than Yu Shan had imagined. She took the opportunity to drink a couple more glasses.
"By the way, I heard from Yi Feng that you paid 100 million contribution points for Achen's mecha."
I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept such a generous gift.
"I'll transfer it to you today, promise me you won't be angry, okay?"
Yu Shan's face flushed red. She reached out and tugged at Madam Xuan's sleeve, shaking it like a spoiled little girl.
"You! Who could bear to be angry with you like this?"
But you only considered your own feelings, without thinking about whether I could feel at ease?
"Besides, I promised to give your son, Ah Chen, a gift. How could I go back on my word?" Madam Xuan said.
"Actually, it's very simple if you want peace of mind, just promise me one thing," said Feather Fan.
"What is it? Tell me! I will definitely do it for you," Madam Xuan said without hesitation.
"How could you agree so easily? Aren't you afraid I'll ask for something that's impossible even if you try to reach the heavens or the earth?" Feather Fan asked.
“I have met countless people in my life, and I trust my judgment. You are not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others,” Madam Xuan said.
"Oh! I feel embarrassed by your trust in me."
However, since you want peace of mind, this is the only suitable thing I can think of.
Our family plans to go to a very distant star system after Achen's custom mecha is completed, and we may encounter many dangers along the way.
So I would like to ask you to come with us to ensure Achen's safety.
Yu Shan felt somewhat ashamed as she said these words, after all, Madam Xuan trusted her so much, yet she had to keep the information that Xiao Ran would also be going with them from her.
"So that's what it is. I agree," Madam Xuan said decisively.
"You... just agreed like that?" Yu Shan asked in surprise.
"To be honest, I originally planned to leave Bran City and travel around after my powers stabilized."
Since you're planning this too, it'll be good to have someone to accompany you on the journey, and I'll also have the privilege of witnessing the birth of your little Xi'er.
"I couldn't be happier to have such a wonderful thing." Madam Xuan smiled sincerely.
“My little Bai might bring a powerful friend along, you wouldn’t mind, would you?” Yu Shan asked tentatively.
"Of course not. With one more person protecting them, Xi'er and A-Chen's safety will be even more guaranteed."
"And I trust your character, Mr. Bai. Someone who is a friend to you must be a trustworthy person," said Madam Xuan.
Despite Yu Shan's repeated requests to transfer the money to her, Madam Xuan firmly refused:
"You have to put my mind at ease, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to stabilize my newly broken through realm."
And you don't need to worry about me running out of money. As an SS-level powerhouse, my reserves are far more abundant than you can imagine.
The reason for transferring the Dream Childhood Clothing Store was not for that little bit of money.
It's because I've come to realize that instead of placing all my emotions on a children's clothing store, I should cherish and love more children.
I'll let you in on a little secret! Yesterday, I used 2 billion contribution points to set up orphanages on 10 economically underdeveloped planets.
In the orphanage I run, children who have lost their parents never lack food or clothing and enjoy the same educational resources as other children.
"In that case, I'll thank you on behalf of Achen." Yu Shan nodded, no longer refusing. She remembered some favors and would find an opportunity to repay them in the future.
