Yes, you heard that right. Chen Hong's mother was a level 49 Soul Ancestor, twelve levels higher than old man Chen Lin!

Chen Hong had no idea how his father had managed to win his mother's heart. Was this what love was?

According to Chen Lin, his mother Ning Lu had been quite cute as a child. He just did not know why she had started mutating after growing up.

When he pushed open the doors of the Suspended Pot Medical Center, the scent of medicinal herbs washed over him. The middle-aged Medicine Maiden standing before the medicine cabinets at the front counter, dispensing medicine for someone, subconsciously looked up. Upon seeing that it was Chen Hong, that little brat, she teased, "What wind blew our proud young master here today?"

Chen Hong entered the clinic. Three or four people were waiting in line to see a doctor, while several unlucky fellows wrapped in bandages lay on mats farther inside. He waited until his mother's employee had dealt with the patients ahead of him before speaking to the graceful middle-aged Medicine Maiden. "Auntie Ye, where's my mom? I need to lodge a complaint with her!"

Auntie Ye chuckled at that. "What is it? You finally made it into the city and had another fight with your dad? If you ask me, you should just hit him back yourself. If your dad bullies you, bully him right back. Why come here looking for your mother?"

Auntie Ye was the sort who loved watching a spectacle and did not care if things got bigger. No one knew her original name. Outsiders generally called her Auntie Ye or Doctor Ye. She was a Support System Soul Master of just over level ten and had followed Ning Lu for many years.

"How could I do that? Wouldn't my mom beat me up?" Chen Hong rolled his eyes helplessly at Auntie Ye, who was trying to stir things up.

"Alright, I won't tease the young master anymore. The Clinic Master is in Room A on the second floor, entertaining an honored guest. Young Master, you can go up and take a look."

As Auntie Ye sorted the herbs at the counter, she smiled at Chen Hong.

Chen Hong was speechless. "She's entertaining an honored guest, so why should I go up there? You really want to see my mom beat me up, don't you? You're terrible!"

"Hehe." Auntie Ye could not help but laugh softly. She looked at Chen Hong teasingly and said, "I'm not trying to hurt you. You really can go up and have a look. The Clinic Master might even be pleasantly surprised by your arrival."

"Really?" Chen Hong looked suspiciously at the woman dressed in plain clothes, though her figure remained lush and alluring.

"Why would I lie to you? Alright, hurry upstairs. An injured patient is here. Don't block the way and hold everyone up." Auntie Ye looked outside, where a group of youths were rushing over with a child whose head was split open and bleeding carried on their backs, and immediately began shooing Chen Hong away.

At that, Chen Hong headed for the stairs to the second floor. At the same time, he glanced back at the injured patient Auntie Ye was receiving and sighed inwardly, Why do these little brats have to fight Spirit Master duels every day when they have nothing better to do? The average IQ of Spirit Masters is so low these days. They must have gotten their brains scrambled from fighting all the time as kids.

Thinking this, Chen Hong shook his head slightly before turning and walking upstairs.

The Suspended Pot Medical Center had three floors in total. The first floor received ordinary patients and contained a large pharmacy as well as a Convalescence Area.

The second floor received patients or guests of relatively distinguished status. Its furnishings were elegant, and the surroundings quiet and refined.

The third floor was where Ning Lu usually rested, made medicine, and brewed wine.

After reaching the elegantly arranged second floor, Chen Hong first changed into a pair of cloth shoes. Then, stepping over wooden flooring that gave off a faint fragrance, he passed rooms with carved beams and painted rafters that exuded understated luxury before finally arriving before the room with the best lighting.

Standing outside the door to Room A, Chen Hong seemed able to hear gentle voices from within. But before he could listen carefully, a warm, jade-like female voice filled with surprise called out from inside, "Why is that brat here?! Get in here already!"

"..." Chen Hong froze when his mother called him out. Then, somewhat restrained, he pushed open the wooden door covered with gauze paper. Inside the tranquil, elegant room, two figures, one large and one small, were looking at him. The former had a lush figure and delighted eyes, while the latter was slender and frail, with a trace of curiosity in her gentle light-purple eyes.

"Come here, come here!" Ning Lu, with light-brown hair and dressed in green robes embroidered with gold patterns, grabbed Chen Hong and pulled him over. She pressed him down beside her, and the two young ones and one adult sat cross-legged on the floor around a tea table, facing one another.

"Mom, who is this?" For some reason, Chen Hong, who strutted around Chen Lin with his tail practically in the air, instantly became somewhat meek around his mother Ning Lu. It was as if Ning Lu possessed an Aura made specifically to suppress him. Deep down, Chen Hong really was quite afraid of his mother.

What? Someone said they were not afraid of their mom?

Then Chen Hong could only say that person definitely did not have a mother.

"Hello. I've heard from Auntie Ning for a long time that she has a son."

The silver-blue-haired girl kneeling across from Chen Hong introduced herself first.

"My name is Ye Lingling. It's very nice to meet you."

Ye Lingling's gentle light-purple eyes curiously studied Chen Hong across from her. Then she gave him a slight nod in greeting.

Chen Hong was briefly stunned, then immediately came back to himself and replied to the girl opposite him, "Hello, I'm Chen Hong. It's nice to meet you too."

Ning Lu's gaze repeatedly moved between Chen Hong and Ye Lingling. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Seeing the two grow a little restrained beneath her eager stare, she smiled. "Little Hong, it really hasn't been easy for us to see you!"

"I wanted you two, being the same age, to get to know each other long ago. But you spend every day up in the mountains, so there was never much chance."

"I've told you before that you should get out more. Don't always stay in the village. Go out, meet more people, make some friends your own age. That's far better than staying in the mountains."

"..." Chen Hong suddenly retorted, "I've been sharpening a sword for ten years in the mountains! I've devoted myself to research, painstakingly honing Soul Tools capable of changing the world!"

"Keep bragging." Ning Lu refuted Chen Hong without giving him the slightest face. She said helplessly, "Ye Lingling is the same age as you, and she's already a prospective student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. And you? If I put it mildly, you're still young. If I put it bluntly, you haven't even attended a proper school. I don't even know how to introduce you when I'm outside."

At that moment, Chen Hong felt his brain buzzing. He had never expected that one day he, too, would face the "look at other people's children" routine. His head instantly felt twice as big.

Chen Hong lowered his head and scratched it helplessly while his mother continued nagging beside him. His gaze wandered, and he inadvertently caught sight of Ye Lingling's light-purple eyes across from him. For a brief moment, his eyes met hers, and he saw that she was trying hard not to laugh.

"Stop! Mom, quit barking nonsense! Your son has achieved something today too!"

Bang!

"What did you say, you brat?!"
