"Ah?" Su Wentian tilted his head and pretended to be stupid, trying to open his innocent eyes wide.
"Mom has been here since you killed the first demon." Su Yao's tone was light, but unquestionable.
Su Wentian was stunned: "Then why didn't I notice you?"
Su Yao said calmly: "Do you really think you are so invincible?"
"No way..." He scratched his head subconsciously, still pretending.
She approached, squatted down and looked at him, her tone gentle with a hint of pity: "Although the Black Lotus Ghost Venerable is not the true body of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the Black Lotus Sacred Pool can summon an army of demons. If you fight alone for a long time, you will eventually run out of energy."
Su Wentian was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that he was indeed a little impulsive.
"Mommy, I think I played too much..." He stuck out his tongue and gave an embarrassed smile.
Su Yao nodded: "Yes, you are crazy about killing."
After a moment of silence, Su Wentian suddenly grinned, gently hugged Su Yao's arm, and said in a small, soft voice: "In the future...you can't dislike me."
Her purple eyes softened as she gently stroked his head: "Silly boy, how could a mother dislike you? I've been waiting for you...waiting for you to stop acting."
Su Wentian was stunned, his heart trembling.
He thought he was perfect... and his acting was top-notch, but it turns out he's just a clown in Mommy's eyes!
Su Yao's tone was calm but sincere: "You have been playing the role of the 'innocent, innocent, and in need of protection' little fox, as if the smaller you act, the less people will be afraid of you and will not leave you."
"Actually, Mom has known for a long time... You don't need protection at all. You're just afraid. If you're too strong and too cold, people will be afraid of you and won't like you."
Su Wentian lowered his head and clenched the corner of his clothes with his small hands.
"But mom is not afraid." Su Yao hugged him gently: "Mom has always known that you are not an ordinary nine-tailed fox." His father is the old fox Su Murong, how could he allow his son to be a naive person.
"You can be imperfect and not well-behaved. You don't need to act."
"In front of me, you can just be yourself."
Su Wentian's nose felt sore, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He buried his face in her arms and whispered, "Mom... I'm actually a little afraid that you won't want me anymore..."
Su Yao hugged him tightly, curling her lips into a smile: "It's good to have a scheming son. It saves me from having to tell you in person about the dangers of this world."
"Really?"
"real."
"Hehehe... then I feel relieved!"
The River Styx flows, the black lotus is silent, and only this mother and son stand in each other's arms in the depths of this demonic realm, like light piercing through the dark night, gentle and firm.
After the warmth, Su Wentian felt no more psychological burden and stopped pretending. He asked in surprise, "Mommy, why are you alone here? Where's Aunt Liu?"
Su Yao:? ?
"What's that expression on your face? It's Uncle Liu!"
"He should be nearby..."
"Mommy, do you really like Uncle Liu?"
Su Yao responded formally: "It's okay."
The cute little kid lowered his head and sighed, "Is there really no hope for my scumbag dad?"
"You want to bring us together?"
"No! Anyway, I will live with you from now on!"
"Why, you're not going back to Qingqiu?"
"Qingqiu is too boring. I might as well learn Chinese medicine from Mommy."
“Do you like Chinese medicine?”
"I wouldn't say I love it, but every time I hear about my mommy saving lives, I feel really proud!"
The two, one big and one small, walked away hand in hand, chatting casually like a real mother and son.
Suddenly, Liu Yuting broke through the void and landed. The moment he saw Su Yao and Su Wentian, his green eyes instantly became gentle.
"Ayao, Tiantian, are you all okay?"
Su Wentian smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, why did you come just now?"
"Sorry, I was trapped in an extremely complex magic circle. It took some time... but I finally got something out of it."
He opened his palm, which contained a snake head medal, with the snake's true form sealed inside.
Su Yao praised: "Not bad! I collected another one for Dugu Jiu. Including the one I found in the Peach Blossom Forest Illusion, there are three in total."
"Wrong! There are four!" Wen Wushang tore open a hole in the void and appeared in front of them.
The deep blue eyes glanced at Liu Yuting with a hint of provocation.
"Where is Wu Yan?" Su Yao asked.
Liu Yuting said in a deep voice, "When I was trapped in the magic circle, I could detect you and Wen Wushang nearby, but Wu Yan had no trace of her."
"An incense stick of time ago, I could still find the approximate location of Wu Yan, but now I can't feel it either." Zi's eyes sank slightly.
"Mommy, I can find Aunt Wuyan." Su Wentian suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Yao seriously.
Then, he raised his palm, and a very thin purple light flashed in the palm of his hand, and the void suddenly trembled slightly.
"You're well prepared." Su Yao raised his eyebrows.
"Of course." Su Wentian smiled easily and summoned a small golden box from the spirit stone wristband. After unlocking the three layers of restrictions, a palm-sized white jade fox plate emerged.
"This is the 'Fox Tracking Instrument' that I made myself."
Wen Wushang's gaze fell on the Fox Plate, and he immediately realized that this magical instrument was extraordinary. He was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that Qingqiu would have such a treasure. Not bad."
Su Wentian glanced at him, his face serious: "Uncle Wen, you can't come and steal."
Wen Wushang raised his eyebrows, speechless: "How could I steal your child's things?"
"This magical weapon is no ordinary thing." Su Wentian patted the fox disk proudly. "It can use the 'Residual Breath Soul Attraction Technique'. With just a strand of the opponent's hair, a drop of blood, or even a fingernail... it can track the opponent's exact location within the Three Realms."
