What Is He Doing to My Mom?

Ye Mu felt genuinely uncomfortable watching her float behind him the whole time.

He knew she was a spirit body, but was there really any need for this?

People were afraid of ghosts. They had an inexplicable fear of them.

Pulling something like this now was seriously unnerving.

"It's fine. This is pretty good."

Ah Rou shook her head slightly. She was still a spirit body, so wasn't floating perfectly normal?

Besides, she moved by thought. Whether she sat or not made no difference, and she was not tired at all.

"You should sit down. Seeing you like this makes me a little nervous."

Ye Mu's mouth twitched. Being watched from behind all the time felt seriously wrong.

"Why don't you come over to the side? Stop staying behind me all the time."

"If I'm not behind you, then where should I be?"

Ah Rou frowned slightly.

Ye Mu could not be bothered to waste words with her and directly reached out.

He pulled her over to a nearby chair and made her sit, looking down at her from above.

"This is much more comfortable. Sit properly."

"Fine, whatever you say."

Ah Rou did not quite understand why this little boy's thoughts were so complicated.

Outside, Xiao Wu froze the moment Ah Rou's spirit body appeared.

A moment later, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Hide quickly."

Ning Rongrong lowered her voice. It would be too easy for them to get discovered like this!

"Mom... that is Mom's aura."

"What? Mom?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were full of question marks. Had she fried her brain with a fever?

"That's right. That is Mom's aura, Mom's appearance. I can't possibly mistake it!"

Xiao Wu snapped back to her senses, but she still could not stop the tears.

The mother she had missed for so many years had suddenly appeared before her, leaving her completely at a loss.

Then, she saw Ye Mu grab her mother's hand.

He forcibly pressed her mother into a chair.

The sight gave her a fright, and she cried out, "What is he doing to my mom? Bastard!"

"Let go of my mom!"

Xiao Wu flew into a rage and charged straight over.

The sudden shout startled both people in the room.

Ah Rou instinctively wanted to return to the Spirit Ring.

After all, a spirit body appearing like this could easily frighten people.

But then she sensed a familiar aura. She abruptly turned her head, her gaze locking tightly onto Xiao Wu.

She watched Xiao Wu rush toward her, about to throw herself into her arms.

Bang!

She wanted to reach out and catch her, only to discover that Xiao Wu had passed straight through her spirit body and slammed headfirst into the wall behind her.

Ah Rou: "..."

Ye Mu: "..."

Was she really that reckless?

Ah Rou suddenly realized what had happened.

She was currently a spirit body. Other than Ye Mu, no one could touch her at all.

Even her own daughter could not make contact with her.

Xiao Wu had hit the wall hard and felt as though a bump was about to grow on her head.

She shook her head, then quickly turned to look at her mother.

"Mom, y-you... how could you..."

"Xiao Wu? How are you here?"

Ah Rou asked softly. Seeing her daughter again after so many years, she could not hide the excitement on her face.

Ye Mu also finally came to his senses. He glanced outside and said, "Are those two outside still not coming in? Do you need me to invite you in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked out from behind the bookshelf.

"Hello, are you the author of the Storybook?"

Ning Rongrong was quite outgoing and showed no sign of stage fright.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was somewhat wary.

Although he was only a child their age, he was mysterious—mysterious enough to inspire fear.

"That's right, I am. Did you need something?"

Ye Mu had not expected Book Friends to come knocking, much less so quickly!

With three Book Friends standing before him, he felt rather strange.

These were the female leads of Douluo World. Having them suddenly appear in front of him felt extremely bizarre.

"So it really is you. Can I ask a question? How do you know so many things?"

Ning Rongrong was truly curious.

Someone with the ability to foresee the future had completely piqued her curiosity.

Yet Ye Mu calmly said, "No."

This was a crucial secret. How could he tell them?

"Mom, how are you here with him? What exactly is going on?"

Right now, Xiao Wu's eyes were filled only with her mother.

She had thought her mother was already dead, yet now she had seen her.

Though she was only a spirit body, which was very strange.

Ah Rou sighed and said, "Children, let me explain the situation to you. His name is Ye Mu, and he is the author of your Storybook."

"As for my situation... Bibi Dong used my Spirit Ring as a condition to urge updates, so I came to Ye Mu's side..."

After she gave them a simple explanation, the three girls gained a general understanding of the situation.

"So the surprise Bibi Dong said she would give you was this?"

Ning Rongrong remembered something.

Back in the Book Review Section, Bibi Dong had said she would give Xiao Wu a surprise.

They had been quite curious at the time.

She had not expected it to be this.

"So Bibi Dong..."

"Xiao Wu, don't overthink it. As for resurrection, Ye Mu has no way to do it yet, but there will be a way in the future."

Ah Rou cut Xiao Wu off, knowing what she was thinking.

She most likely believed Bibi Dong was her enemy and wanted revenge.

Then there was the matter of resurrection.

After hearing Ah Rou's explanation, Xiao Wu still felt terrible, but at least she no longer bore such intense resentment toward Bibi Dong.

Moreover, Bibi Dong's intention in using a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring as a condition to urge updates had been to free her mother and give her a chance at resurrection.

In a sense, Bibi Dong was still her benefactor.

"Mr. Ye Mu, do you... do you have a way to revive my mother?"

Xiao Wu turned around and asked sincerely.

As long as she could revive her mother, she was willing to pay any price.

Ye Mu shook his head slightly and said, "There is no way at the moment, but there will be later. Aunt Rou cannot leave my side right now. I hope you understand."

"Mm, I understand."

Xiao Wu replied.

The Spirit Ring could not leave the Wordless Heavenly Book, so it could not go too far from Ye Mu.

No matter what, being able to see her mother now was already a blessing.

"Mr. Ye Mu, may I ask about my future story?"

Zhu Zhuqing was also very curious.

She wanted to know her future fate.

However, Ye Mu had been updating something else before this, so she still did not know what her future would be like.

When she heard her ask that, Ning Rongrong was also full of anticipation.

Since they had already met the Storybook's author, he should be able to tell them directly.

Yet Ye Mu's gaze turned somewhat strange as he looked them up and down for a while.

Then he suddenly said, "Trying to get something for nothing? The Pope, Qian Renxue, and Xiao Wu all know how to urge updates. What about you? Trying to freeload?"

"Unless you urge updates, I will not continue updating."

The four people present were all dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Was he really being this direct?

They had already found him, yet he still wanted them to urge updates before he would update?

"Then... could you just tell me without updating?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment.

Ye Mu's brows twitched as he said, "What are you thinking? Have you been sleeping through both summer and winter? Why are you dreaming such an absurd dream?"

"Freeloading is unacceptable. Please urge updates, thank you."

This concerned Martial Soul Evolution. He did not care how important their roles were; that would not work on him.

When it came to improving himself, he was a cold, emotionless update-urging machine!
