Chapter 103: The 103rd Mom
Bai Chuanmu's brain crashed. Time seemed to have frozen for her. There was a dull expression on her face. She no longer squinted her eyes. Her eyes were wide open, looking wooden and shocked.
What do you mean by ruling the world of sorcery? Who is going to rule the world of sorcery? Me? When did I rule the world of sorcery——?!
"Satoru!" Xia Youjie frowned in dissatisfaction. His tone sounded a little unhappy and annoyed. "How can you say that!"
Baichuan Mu came to her senses only after hearing what Xia Youjie said. She pursed her lips tightly, tears seemed to well up in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Xia Youjie with emotion in her eyes.
Finally...finally someone understood her!
Xia Youjie didn't start talking for no reason and was talking about a script that she didn't know.
Jie! You are really a great son to your mother!
But Baichuanmu's feeling of being touched did not last long, because Xiayou Jie was standing up for Baichuanmu.
Xia Yujie said angrily: "Satoru, how can you compare those rotten oranges with my mother? My mother is a thousand times better than those rotten oranges. No, ten million times better--!"
Bai Chuanmu was silent, holding his forehead with his hands as if helpless, but in fact he was quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He was really moved for nothing. So the point is that Rotten Orange is not worthy of being compared with her? But...any normal person is much better than Rotten Orange, right?
Wait, according to Geto Xiayou's focus...
Bai Chuanmu had a bad feeling. Could it be that the cubs all thought that her goal was to rule the world of sorcery?
Not only that, Yega Zhengdao seemed to think so too.
When facing the angry Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru did not rush to explain, but sighed deeply to release the helplessness in his heart. How to say it, the exploitation of the cursed spirits by this mother and son... made him, a sorcerer, feel a little sympathy for the cursed spirits. It would be better to exorcise them directly and give them a quick death.
However, this idea was just for the sake of complaining, and it was not Gojo Satoru's true thought. He still supported Geto Suguru's idea from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, Gojo Satoru felt that although Geto Suguru's idea was good, it was too idealistic.
Gojo Satoru was about to speak, but he saw Geto Suguru's eyes fall on his pocket, which contained a strawberry cream flavored Daifuku, the one that Geto Suguru had just given him.
Gojo Satoru subconsciously covered his pocket, looked at Geto Xiayou with a vigilant look, and said, "You don't want to take Daifuku back, do you?"
Gojo Satoru thought, why not just eat the Daifuku himself to avoid any mistakes... who knows, it might be eaten by some stupid cursed spirit in the middle of the night!
Cats and dogs: Meow woof!
What the cat and dog means is that it will not eat anything given by Gojo Satoru now, even if it is given to it under duress, unless it is handed over to Geto Suguru and asked to feed it.
Xia Yujie looked at Gojo Satoru with resentment: "Am I that kind of person? It's just... this Daifuku was given to you by my mother."
Gojo Satoru curled his lips: "Come on, Jie, I didn't mean to belittle Aunt Mu just now."
Xia Youjie was very stubborn about this. He snorted, "Really?"
Gojo Satoru nodded vigorously: "Really! When have I ever lied to you?"
Xia Yujie was silent for a while, his eyes became more resentful: "Yes, don't you remember, Wu? You once squeezed wasabi into Oreo cookies and lied to me that they were matcha flavor."
"...That was to test your sense of smell." Gojo Satoru tried to defend himself, "Look, I can tell at a glance that it's a prank like this. It's your own fault, Jie."
In response to Gojo Satoru's victim-blaming theory, Geto Suguru typed "Haha" at him.
Baichuanmu was really distressed at this moment, and she tried to persuade him helplessly: "Jie, Wu must have been joking just now."
Gojo Satoru nodded: "That's right, Jie, even Aunt Mu could hear it."
Baichuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Gojo Satoru acknowledged her words. That's right, how could she want to rule the world of sorcery? It turned out that Gojo Satoru was joking with her. She thought she had missed some fantastic script again.
But Xia Youjie pursed his lips, he seemed not very satisfied with this answer.
Gojo Satoru was also a little helpless. He said, "Hey, Jie, don't you still believe me?"
"Of course I believe in Wu, but..." Xia Yujie said, but his tone was still a little low, and it was obvious that he was still a little unhappy.
Gojo Satoru blinked. "Just what? Do you hate rotten oranges so much? Although those guys are indeed annoying and disgusting..."
Xia Youjie frowned and said, "Then you doubt that my mother's rule over the world of spells will not be good for rotten oranges?"
Bai Chuanmu opened his mouth in surprise again. Why did the topic come back again? Wait, didn't you say it was a joke? Were you two just cooperating to fool her? Can someone tell her when she wanted to rule the world of sorcery?
Gojo Satoru was even more helpless: "Hey, hey, I told you I was just joking. It's just that your future plans for the Curse Spirits sound..."
Bai Chuanmu finally understood that the joke was about the rotten orange. From what the two cubs said, it seemed that her domination of the magic world was a foregone conclusion...
But, but isn't she just an ordinary person? Just a weak and pitiful monkey that can eat? Why do the two future strongest think that she will be able to rule the world of sorcery in the future?
The stupid beauty's brain couldn't figure it out and was about to crash again.
Xia Youjie asked: "How does it sound? Isn't this good?"
"Very good," Gojo Satoru said sincerely, and he even gave a thumbs up. This was not intentional sarcasm, he really thought so, "I think your and Aunt Mu's idea is great, Jie. After all, cursed spirits are not human. It's just... I feel it's a bit idealistic."
"Idealization..." Xia Youjie frowned slightly, repeated the word, thought for a while and said, "Don't you think I can't do it?"
When Baichuanmu heard the conversation between the two cubs, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the original book. Although the ideals expounded by Xia Youjie at this time were positive and good, Baichuanmu still couldn't help feeling nervous.
She stared at the two cubs, and even her breathing slowed down. Bai Chuanmu wanted to say something, but chose not to speak.
The situation now is completely different from that in the original work. She believes in Geto Suguru and also believes in Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru shrugged and said, "Don't you think it's too--difficult? After all, it's a cursed spirit. For ordinary sorcerers, cursed spirits are objects to be exorcised. They are not like you, who treat cursed spirits as companions, assistants, or even tools."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the cats and dogs sitting obediently on the ground. Although this stupid cursed spirit was sitting there without making a mess or meowing or barking, its tail was wagging and it would pat the floor from time to time, as if it was trying to attract attention and gain a sense of existence.
However, neither of them touched the cat or dog. Only Bai Chuanmu squatted down and touched its head a few times.
Gojo Satoru's gaze lingered on the cats and dogs for several seconds before he added, "Not to mention pets."
Baichuanmu was about to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to say that the Chanyuan family also kept a lot of cursed spirits in captivity. Although those were definitely not pets, they could also be called tools, right?
Baichuanmu thought about it and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. After all, Gojo Satoru was still a child, and it was too early for him to be exposed to these things. Even if he wanted to cleanse the world of sorcery... wait, were her thoughts led astray by the two cubs? Why did she really start to imagine how to govern the world of sorcery? Stop, stop, wake up, Baichuanmu, you are just an ordinary person!
Bai Chuanmu squatted on the ground with her face covered. The three little eyes of cats and dogs blinked, then slowly moved to Bai Chuanmu's side, rubbed their heads against her, and asked for a head pat.
Xiayou Jie originally wanted to talk to Gojo Satoru about his ideals, but when he saw Baichuan Mu like this, he angrily said to Gojo Satoru: "Satoru, you made my mother sad!"
Gojo Satoru:?
Baichuanmu:?
Gojo Satoru and Baichuan Mu looked at Geto Suguru together, their heads full of question marks.
Gojo Satoru was confused and said, "What? Jie, what are you talking about? I... I don't think I said anything excessive."
Bai Chuanmu widened his eyes, pointed at himself and said, "Am I sad?"
Xiayou Jie first snorted at Gojo Satoru, then looked at Baichuan Mu with a worried look on his face and said, "Mom, I noticed that when you heard Gojo compare you to Rotten Orange just now, you looked very shocked... wasn't it?"
"I am shocked, indeed," Bai Chuanmu scratched her face and said softly, trying to persuade Xia Youjie, "I am indeed quite shocked, but being shocked doesn't mean I am sad. Jie, are you a little...thinking too much and over-understanding?"
Xia Youjie sighed softly, clapped his hands and patted Baichuanmu's shoulders, comforting her: "Mom, you don't have to be so stubborn. If you feel sad, just say it out, don't hold it in."
Baichuanmu: ...
Baichuanmu fell into silence. Should he just follow what Xiayoujie said and cooperate with this little Di?
But she pursed her lips, feeling neither amused nor helpless. If she hadn't bitten her lips tightly, Bai Chuanmu would have worried that she wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.
The result of this was that Xia Youjie's misunderstanding deepened. He gave Baichuanmu a heavy-hearted lecture: "Mom, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it in, speak it out. I know you are very strong and powerful, but occasionally confiding your thoughts to others will make you feel happier, right? I hope you can be happy every day."
Baichuanmu hesitated to speak, and confessed... what to confess? Did she tell you that none of the Dihua people took her with them, and she was confused, helpless, and "scared"? But she tried to defend herself before, but you didn't listen to her, and just regarded those defenses as her disguise, and then the progress of Dihua increased significantly.
Xia Youjie looked at Baichuanmu encouragingly: "Mom, didn't you teach me to tell you directly or tell my friends if I have any troubles? Mom, you must set an example yourself."
Then Geto Suguru looked at Gojo Satoru who seemed to be watching the fun on the side, frowning slightly. It seemed that Geto Suguru was ready to say something to Gojo Satoru, but was now hesitating whether to say it or not.
Gojo Satoru pointed at himself and said, "Should I say something too?"
In fact, Gojo Satoru was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what was going on...
He narrowed his eyes, feeling puzzled. Aunt Mu shouldn't be upset by what he said...
Gojo Satoru pursed his lips, wondering if he should apologize to Aunt Mu. It was really not nice to make fun of rotten oranges; it was really insulting.
Baichuanmu rubbed Xiayou Jie's head helplessly: "Really, Jie, Mom really doesn't feel sad because of what Wu said. Mom is not such a fragile person."
This is true. Bai Chuanmu is a silly beauty. Her sense of satisfaction is not that high. She can be happy as long as she eats and drinks well. Her biggest wish is that her children can be happy. As long as this is achieved, there will be no sadness or sorrow in her life.
Baichuanmu is a person who is easily satisfied. As the saying goes, he who is content is the greatest happiness.
Xia Youjie looked back at Baichuanmu again and said hesitantly: "But... Mom's expression just now..."
Baichuanmu pursed his lips and tried to tell the truth: "Jie, you misunderstood. I was so shocked because Wu said that I would rule the world of spells."
Xia Youjie nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so...Mom, are you..."
Baichuanmu looked at Xia Youjie expectantly. Could it be that her son finally knew that she was just an ordinary person?
"So mom is so cautious. Even in her own home, she can't let anything slip," Xiayou Jie looked at Baichuanmu with admiration, and did not forget to remind Gojo Satoru, "Satoru, you have to remember that you can't let anything slip at any time. If other people know that my mom wants to rule the world of sorcery, it will be detrimental to our plan."
Baichuanmu: ...
She should stop struggling and just accept the reality.
"I know!" Gojo Satoru said in a long voice, then raised his eyebrows and said, "But you also said it out."
Xia Youjie choked, then changed the subject, looked at Baichuanmu and said seriously: "Mom, you can't spoil Wu too much."
"Tsk," Gojo Satoru said with a light sigh, thinking that Jie's attempt to change the subject this time was too obvious, "Jie, please don't take revenge on someone else."
"Uh..." Baichuan Muxin said, if we talk about Gojo Satoru, you must be ranked first, right? There is a lot of evidence stored in her mobile phone.
Xia Yujie looked at Gojo Satoru with a smile and said, "How could I have that?"
Geto Xiayou couldn't help but look at Gojo Satoru's pocket, thinking to himself, um... I shouldn't have spoiled Satoru that much, right?
Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and noticed Geto's gaze. He covered his pocket to protect the Daifuku inside, thinking that he might as well eat the Daifuku now to avoid any more trouble.
Xia Youjie agreed with his own thoughts in his heart, then turned to Baichuanmu and said, "Mom, I'm serious. You really can't spoil Wu too much."
Gojo Satoru thought, No, I have to eat my Daifuku now.
Just as Gojo Satoru was about to take out the Daifuku to show off, he heard Baichuan Mu say something "utterly unscrupulous".
"Then... hire another tutor for Wu? How about tutoring in math?" Baichuanmu stroked his chin thoughtfully, "English in the morning, math in the afternoon... How about Chinese as well?"
"Plop!" Gojo Satoru's Daifuku fell to the ground.
Xia Youjie and Baichuan Mu looked at Gojo Satoru together. At this moment, he felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and he didn't know whether he was shocked, angry, or scared.
Geto Xiayou and Murasaki could see that Gojo Satoru's lips and pupils were trembling.
The "heartless" mother and son thought: Is it that exaggerated?
Gojo Satoru raised his finger and pointed at Baichuan Mu: "You, you, you——! You're going too far! Three hours of class is not enough? You want to hire two more tutors for me?!"
Bai Chuanmu comforted him, "Don't worry... If we hire three tutors, each class won't be that long... How about two hours per class, a total of six hours? You'll still have plenty of time to have fun."
Xia Youjie also agreed: "I think it's good. It's still much shorter than my class time. It would be better if it could be extended a little bit."
Gojo Satoru gnashed his teeth and said, "You're dreaming. Three hours a day is already my limit. Don't push your luck!"
"Well, how were your courses arranged when you were at the Gojo family? How about I take a look at it?" Baichuanmu suggested with a smile.
Gojo Satoru choked. Those old guys were still quite strict with him. He had a lot to learn every day and had little time for fun. After all, he was being trained to be the future heir to the family head.
The Gojo family is traditional and simple, and they can't compare to the carefree and comfortable life at the Baichuan family.
When Gojo Satoru thought about Baichuan Mu wanting to learn from those guys, he felt unhappy. He said angrily: "Aunt Mu, you are not allowed to learn from those old guys in my family! I will never tell you!"
"Hahaha, I'm just a little curious about what you have learned before," Baichuanmu wanted to rub Gojo Satoru's head, but this cat seemed to be really angry and used a limitless technique to prevent her from touching. She smiled helplessly, "Although the Gojo family is very traditional, it is also a family of curses after all. The education of their offspring should still have some merits, right? Why not tell me about it?"
Gojo Satoru snorted to express his disdain.
However, Baichuan Mu asked this, not only for the purpose of planning Gojo Satoru's study schedule, but she did have a little selfish motive. She was very curious about the Gojo family. Among the three great families, the Gojo family was described the least in the original work. Almost all of the descriptions were focused on Gojo Satoru. They were almost like a background board, but they were obviously a very important family in the world of sorcery.
