[Xiao Wu: You... who are you?]
Everyone was puzzled, and Xiao Wu was full of question marks, yet looking at Ah Rou's tone, she felt a sense of familiarity.
[Ah Rou: I am Mother, Mother.]
Unable to contain the excitement in her heart, Ah Rou hurriedly spoke to explain.
She never imagined that even though she had already perished, she could be pulled into a chat group and even see her daughter, Xiao Wu.
This gave her even greater motivation; she thanked the Group Master, thanking the other party for giving her such an opportunity.
The reason she had sent her own screenshot earlier was, of course, not to cater to everyone, but mainly because she had seen the Resurrection Coin in the group mall.
Although it required an astronomical amount of points, it gave her a glimpse of hope for rebirth.
When Ah Rou was invited to the chat group, her consciousness and remnant soul, which had been drifting between heaven and earth, gradually condensed, finally appearing in an independent space filled with tranquility and lush green grass.
After she recovered, the first thing she thought of was her daughter, Xiao Wu, wondering if her daughter was living well, if she had been naughty, and worrying whether she had avoided the pursuit of Bibi Dong.
Now that she saw her daughter was also in the group, her tears could no longer be held back and began to stream down.
[Xiao Wu: Mother? You... you are Mother! Wuu wuu...]
Xiao Wu was stunned at first, then her whole body stiffened, and tears gushed out instantly.
No wonder she felt a sense of intimacy with the other party from the start, no wonder there was a feeling of familiarity; it turned out to be her own mother.
It was no fault of hers for not recognizing her immediately, as she only gained memories after transforming, and she had always called her "Mother," while Da Ming and Er Ming called her "Sister Rou," so she hadn't made the connection.
Ah Rou? Sister Rou? That was it, both contained "Rou"; she was so stupid for not thinking of that.
[Ah Rou: Xiao Wu, my daughter, are you doing well?]
[Ning Rongrong: Sister Ah Rou, you don't need to worry, Xiao Wu is doing very well. We cultivate together every day and grow stronger together.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: That's right, I and Rongrong are both Xiao Wu's best sisters.]
Before Xiao Wu could answer, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing spoke up first, wanting to put Xiao Wu's deceased mother at ease.
Yet, unexpectedly, their words did not reassure Ah Rou at all; they completely backfired, causing Xiao Wu, who had been immersed in the joy of reunion, to stop crying in fright.
[Ah Rou: Xiao Wu, you went to the human world?]
During her lifetime, Ah Rou had spent most of her time near the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, but she knew the dangers of the human world and was well aware of the background of Martial Soul Hall, the Upper Three Sects, and so on.
Since Xiao Wu was staying with the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, didn't that mean she had already stepped into the human world?
Before she died, she had told this daughter time and time again not to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, not to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
How much time had passed, and she was already treating her words like wind past her ears?
She was so angry that she wanted to find a vine and give this daughter who caused her so much worry a good lesson.
[Xiao Wu: Mother... listen to my explanation, I... I didn't do it on purpose, I... I just wanted to avenge you.]
Looking at her mother's question, Xiao Wu could imagine the suppressed anger, and she began to explain incoherently.
[Ah Rou: Didn't Mother tell you not to go to the human world? Have your wings hardened? No one can control you anymore, right! And avenging Mother? Is this your reason for leaving the Star Dou Great Forest?]
Ah Rou was extremely angry, though, of course, she was mostly worried.
She knew all too well how much of a temptation a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast was to soul masters; even staying in the Star Dou Great Forest, she couldn't escape the fate of being killed, let alone venturing into the human world alone.
After scolding her daughter, Ah Rou suddenly realized that she had been too excited and had inadvertently exposed her identity as a soul beast to the group.
Now that the group members knew, didn't that mean Xiao Wu's current situation was very dangerous?
Thinking of this, she could no longer care about educating her daughter and hurriedly begged the Group Master.
[Ah Rou: Group Master, Ah Rou begs you for one thing: can you escort Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest? I am willing to be your beast of burden and repay your kindness for all eternity!]
[Xiao Wu: Mother...]
Seeing her mother like this, Xiao Wu's tears broke the dam again, and she was so choked up she couldn't say a complete sentence.
Qian Renxue watched the conversation between mother and daughter silently, her heart gripped by an invisible hand, her nose aching, and a crystal-clear tear slid down quietly.
This was the maternal love she had craved her entire life but had never possessed.
She also wished her own mother could protect her so recklessly.
At this moment, there were no distracting thoughts in her mind; she didn't have the slightest intention of capturing Xiao Wu or seizing her soul ring and soul bone just because Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast hiding in the former Blue Tyrant Academy.
Her heart and eyes were filled only with envy for the other party.
She envied that even though the other party's mother was no longer in this world, she could still be so cared for and missed; she envied that when the other party made a mistake, her mother would scold her with her mouth, but her heart was filled with heartfelt worry and protection.
Looking at herself, she had left Martial Soul Hall at nine years old to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire and disguise herself as Xue Qinghe.
Beyond thinking of the grand plan of Martial Soul Hall, it was mostly to prove herself to Bibi Dong and win her attention, even if it meant getting just a little bit of love.
Driven by an impulse, Qian Renxue couldn't help but say two words.
[Xue Qinghe: ...How nice.]
Upon seeing these two words from Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong's heart was deeply scraped, and the thought she originally had of ordering someone to contact her daughter to capture Xiao Wu came to a halt.
[Wu Xing: I apologize, fellow group member Ah Rou, but I cannot escort Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest at this moment.]
[Wu Xing: The moment she stepped out of the forest, she was already targeted by a Super Douluo. For all these years, she has been viewed as prey in the palm of their hand, monitored from the shadows.]
As Wu Xing's words fell, Ah Rou's body shuddered violently, her face turning as pale as paper, while Xiao Wu froze completely, her eyes filled with terror.
She had been targeted by a Super Douluo the moment she left the forest? For all these years, she had been nothing more than prey kept in captivity by that person?
[Wu Xing: You need not panic excessively; that Super Douluo will not make a move for the time being.]
[Wu Xing: As for the group members capable of escorting her back to the forest unscathed, there are indeed two: one is Bibi Dong, the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, and the other is the Sea God Island High Priest.]
[Wu Xing: However, I do not suggest you do that.]
[Wu Xing: A fledgling eagle must eventually break free from the nest to soar alone. You can protect her for a moment, but not for a lifetime. Only by becoming strong oneself is there a true path to survival.]
[Wu Xing: Furthermore, the fact that you were able to enter this Heavens Chat Group is, in itself, a heaven-defying opportunity.]
[Wu Xing: The Douluo Continent you inhabit, along with the many planes of the myriad worlds, are, in the final analysis, merely branches of the myriad worlds derived from the highest-dimensional space-time of Blue Star.]
[Wu Xing: Since you have entered this group, you are my people. Your strength may not be worth mentioning for now, but I can ensure that any one of you remains undying and indestructible!]
