She Zhuyin's mouth twitched speechlessly. "...What you made up was actually the story of Yushen's biological parents, wasn't it...?"
Xia Yuanfang smiled. "You too. If not for you, those Extraterrestrial Aberrations might already be ravaging the entire universe."
"Even the Beichen Galaxy wouldn't have been spared."
She Zhuyin did not want to continue that topic and hurriedly said, "...Fine, I'll listen to you. But I still want to tell Chujian about Yushen's identity..."
Xia Yuanfang grew nervous. "Why tell Chujian? You aren't going to reveal your own identity, so why tell her this?"

Xia Yuanfang nodded, then said, "But what about our Yushen? Aren't you afraid that those beings hunting you will find out that Yushen is your soft spot too?"
"Yushen really is your soft spot too, isn't he?"

She Zhuyin smiled and said confidently, "Of course Yushen is my soft spot. I raised him with my own hands. He is my son."
"But I gave Yushen enough ability to protect himself."
"Chujian, however, has no ability to protect herself."
"To tell you the truth, Yushen's Gene Evolution Level is no worse than those beings'..."
"They won't be so
