Mother and Son Reunite, but Even Ten Times a Day Was Too Much to Agree To

Mother...

Tang San was incredibly excited. After seven years apart, his emotions finally peaked at this moment. Even his fingers trembled slightly as he followed his teacher step by step.

Shen Qingling walked to the lake's edge. The moment he stepped onto the water, thick Blue Silver vines burst from the ground, entwining to form a Blue Silver bridge.

Gu Yuena carefully watched the roots breaking through the ground, and her eyes lit up.

So thick!

"Little San, hurry up and follow!"

Shen Qingling urged them from ahead. He was already about to reach the opposite bank.

"Teacher, we're coming!"

Tang San hurried after him. Looking at the Blue Silver bridge beneath his feet, he could not help admiring him even more. Such massive roots and such a powerful aura—no wonder he was his teacher.

When they arrived before the waterfall, Shen Qingling lightly waved his hand. The rushing water seemed to be parted by an invisible force, surging to either side and revealing what lay behind it: a sealed cave.

Tang San stood behind him, his heart pounding. He could clearly sense the Blue Silver Grass aura inside the cave growing denser and denser—gentle yet familiar, like a resonance deep within his bloodline.

He slightly clenched his fists, his palms beginning to sweat. Seven years of longing and anticipation reached their peak at this moment, and even his breathing slowed.

Once Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu had both approached, Shen Qingling flicked his fingertip. A streak of pale golden force shot out, and the stone wall sealing the entrance shattered with a crash. Rubble fell in a shower, revealing a deep, dark opening.

"Let's go."

Shen Qingling stepped inside first.

The cave was pitch-black at first, but after only a few steps, faint blue light gradually lit up around them. Specks of light dotted the vines and moss clinging to the walls. The farther in they went, the brighter the glow became, casting the entire cave in a serene, shadowy blue.

Tang San followed behind, looking at the blue light around him as his eyes grew slightly hot. He could feel it. These Blue Silver Grasses were trembling gently, as if welcoming his arrival. He became even more certain that his mother was inside.

Yet the closer he got to home, the more timid he became, and his steps slowed. He wanted to see her as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that once they met, he would not know what to say.

Xiao Wu curiously looked around and whispered:

"So beautiful. They're like stars."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, understanding. This was the primordial aura left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor. Ah Yin's remnant soul should be at the very deepest part.

After walking a few more steps into the depths of the cave, the view suddenly opened up. Dense Blue Silver Grass carpeted a corner at the end of the cave, and at its center stood an especially robust plant. Its stems and leaves glimmered with a faint golden light, its aura gentle and profound, faintly resonating with Tang San's martial soul.

"Little San, this is your mother, Ah Yin."

Shen Qingling spoke softly.

Tang San's entire body shook, and his footsteps abruptly stopped. He stared fixedly at the golden Blue Silver Grass, his eyes instantly reddening. His lips moved, but he could not utter a single word.

He had imagined his mother's appearance countless times—gentle, dignified—but he had never imagined she would be in this form. Seven years of longing choked his throat, bitter and aching.

Shen Qingling slowly stepped forward. Gold and blue light intertwined around his fingertips as he raised his hand and pressed it against the thick Blue Silver Grass stems and leaves. Pure power of life origin slowly flowed into it.

As the power entered, the Blue Silver Grass at the center began to tremble gently. Then, all the Blue Silver Grass in the cave began swaying wildly. Tiny blue motes rose up and continuously gathered toward the central plant.

Its originally weak aura rapidly became dense. A gentle life aura filled the entire cave, as though a tender hand were softly brushing across everyone's hearts.

Xiao Wu stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a sound and disturb them. Gu Yuena leaned against the cave wall, watching Shen Qingling's back with faint tenderness in her eyes.

As expected of her man. He really was reassuring when it came to handling things.

As he continued infusing power, Shen Qingling had Tang San release his own Blue Silver Grass.

The moment Tang San's Blue Silver Grass bloomed in his hand, the branches and leaves of Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, began growing wildly. Her aura spread outward, and vines wrapped around Tang San.

"Child!"

Ah Yin's gentle voice made Tang San's body stiffen. He then hurried to the Blue Silver Emperor, his eyes reddening.

"Mother, I missed you so much. Are you well?"

Shen Qingling withdrew his hand and silently stepped aside, not disturbing the mother and son who were about to recognize one another.

The Blue Silver Grass at the center flared with blue light. A gentle figure slowly emerged from the plant, dressed in a pale blue gown. Her watery blue hair curled softly, and her features were gentle and beautiful. She was none other than the remnant soul form of Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Her figure was still somewhat translucent, but she was far better than before. The unique life aura of the Blue Silver Emperor surrounded her.

Tang San's tears instantly burst forth. He rushed over in large strides and choked out, "Mother!"

Ah Yin hurriedly crouched down and opened her arms, steadily catching him. Her slender fingers gently stroked the top of Tang San's head, her voice tender and trembling with tears.

"Little San, my son, Mother missed you so much too."

Seven years of longing and grievance erupted completely at that moment. Tang San buried himself in her embrace and cried like a child.

Ah Yin gently patted his back, soothing him softly again and again, her eyes full of heartache.

She had been here for seven years, and now she could finally hold her son properly. She had thought it would take much longer, but she had not expected to see him so soon.

Xiao Wu stood to the side, her nose growing slightly sore at the sight. She quietly wiped the corner of her eye.

Gu Yuena walked over to Shen Qingling's side and asked softly,

"Husband, how did you restore her so quickly? I thought you could only awaken her consciousness. I didn't expect you to directly condense a physical form."

She was somewhat surprised. It was extremely difficult for a remnant soul to condense into a physical form, yet Shen Qingling had done it in mere moments.

Shen Qingling looked at the embracing mother and son, his tone calm.

"I infused her with my Blue Silver Emperor origin, then used a little Golden Dragon King bloodline to nourish her soul body. It was enough for her to condense a form temporarily, and her origin can recover considerably as well. She'll awaken more and more often in the future. It's worth it for Little San."

He knew that most of Tang San's emotional knot lay with his parents. Once it was untied, he would be able to cultivate without burdens in the future. This small expenditure of origin power was nothing to him.

Gu Yuena gently leaned against his shoulder and said softly, "Husband is always so considerate. One day, you should be considerate toward me too—the ten-times-a-day kind."

Shen Qingling smiled but said nothing, nor did he answer Gu Yuena's question. He simply stood quietly to the side, leaving space for the mother and son who had reunited after so long.

Shen Qingling walked to the stone wall and placed his palm against it. Sensing the faint soul bone aura coming from within, he clenched his hand and punched the wall.

The stone wall instantly shattered, revealing a small space inside. An exquisite wooden box rested there. Shen Qingling took out the box and opened it.

A soul bone radiating blue-gold light lay within. It was unmistakably the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, and it carried an exceptionally obvious life aura.
