Solaris's Most Obsessive Woman: If Only I Were Dad's Mother
A scream suddenly rang out at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Blue motes of light appeared in the air, and Aemeath burst out of the void. Dressed in a white bodysuit, her pink hair tied in a ponytail, she scooped Xu Qing up with one arm and quickly backed away, her brilliant golden eyes glaring at the big fox before her.
Although the Rover had disappeared from before her eyes, Hsin licked her canine teeth, her face full of lingering relish. Only then did she seem to notice Aemeath and open her arms.
"Oh my, isn't this my Little Ai?"
"You're here too?"
"Come, let Mama Hsin give you a proper hug."
Aemeath puffed out her cheeks and glared at the big fox before her, ignoring her. Then she looked down at Xu Qing in her arms.
"Dad, are you okay? She didn't suck your Yang Qi dry, did she?"
"???" Xu Qing, who had been about to ask Little Ai to put him down, was utterly bewildered.
The big fox had only kissed him once. How had that turned into her sucking him dry?
He wasn't that weak, was he?
"Yes, Rover, did Hsin suck you dry?" Hsin asked, smiling at Xu Qing.
"No such thing happened," Xu Qing said firmly.
It was just one kiss. How could she suck him dry?
Besides, how could the big fox, whose heart and eyes were full of him, ever hurt him?
"Dad!!" Aemeath cried, looking at her dad, who had already been bewitched by the vixen.
"All right, all right, Little Ai."
Xu Qing got down from Aemeath's arms and patted her hand.
"Hsin has helped me a great deal. This was also a reward I promised her. A person can't go back on their word."
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Hsin smiled until her eyes curved, her great fox tail swishing behind her as she rejoiced.
Aemeath puffed out her cheeks and stared straight at him.
Xu Qing felt somewhat helpless.
Oh, this Little Ai. He could have come out last night, but a certain big Snowy Velvet had grabbed hold of him and refused to let go.
She had clung to him, refusing to let him leave, acting spoiled and cute, stopping at nothing.
So he could only spend some time with her.
Aemeath had also set up some game consoles inside, turning the place into a normal, cozy room, and warmly relived that old way of life with him.
She had also held him, her eyes sparkling as she asked him to tell her stories.
He figured it was just as well. Aemeath had made a contract with him anyway, so he might as well tell her the entire story of the Douluo Continent.
After coming out today, he had observed that time flowed at a ratio of 1:10 between reality and the pure white space.
He and Little Ai had spent a whole week inside, yet only a dozen or so hours had passed outside.
Unfortunately, the pure white space was only useful when the card was blank.
"Hmph." Aemeath gave a little huff.
Since Dad said it was a reward, then so be it.
Being clear about rewards and punishments was what a person in power should do.
Hmph, this big fox wants me to acknowledge her as my new mother? No way!
Vixens are the best at seducing people.
What if she draws all of Dad's attention away?
What's Little Ai supposed to do then?
"Then don't forget what you promised me, Dad." Aemeath bent down to meet Xu Qing's eyes.
"All right, all right, I won't forget."
"Pinky promise."
Aemeath held out the little finger of her left hand and crooked it at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was both exasperated and amused. He held out his right hand and hooked his little finger around hers.
"Pinky swear, hang on tight, no changing your mind for millions of years! Whoever breaks it is a puppy."
"All right, all right. Whoever breaks it is a puppy."
"Hmph, I bet you'll definitely turn into a puppy someday, Dad." Aemeath huffed.
If only Dad lost his memories. He'd still have me.
I could be his mother and his lover, couldn't I?
If only I were Dad's mother. Then I could watch him grow up from childhood, know every habit in his life and the shape of every part of his body. There would never be a part of Dad I didn't know.
If only I were Dad's mother. Then I could shape his personality and teach him not to be lured away by bad women outside, to stay devoted forever and think only of me.
If only I were Dad's mother. Then I could become the only person he relied on. No matter what difficulties Dad faced, I would always be the first person he thought of.
If only I were Dad's mother. Then I could protect him and keep him from having to make sacrifices for us anymore.
I really want to be Dad's mother.
As long as I had that role, no matter how far I went with you, I could explain it away as love, couldn't I?
I could take away your room key and confiscate your phone fair and square, keep anyone else from disturbing you, and clean out every last one of your relationships.
Children shouldn't disobey their mothers, right? So you have to entrust every last part of yourself to Mama's care, body and soul.
I can satisfy all of Dad's needs, no matter who else tries to interfere.
Oh, wait. Dad hasn't lost his memories, but I can still watch him grow up all over again.
Hehehehe...
A certain devoted daughter indulged in wild imaginings.
At that moment, Xu Qing felt a chill down his back.
For some reason, he felt so, so, so weighed down.
What was going on?
Why did it feel as though he were carrying the whole of Solaris on his back?
Xu Qing looked at the girl before him, whose eyes were glowing red, and immediately understood why. He raised a hand and pressed it to her forehead.
"Come back, wandering soul, come back."
"Dad, what did you say?" Aemeath looked utterly bewildered.
"You're still responding. That's good." Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought a certain yandere had completely lost herself.
Wait, that's not right.
Little Ai on my private server wasn't like this.
She never even became an electronic ghost, so why does it feel like her feelings are even heavier than after she became one?
But during those seven days, he had asked Aemeath about it. Judging by some of the story events she had experienced, this Little Ai was indeed the one from his own settings.
That left Xu Qing even more puzzled.
"Dad!" Aemeath puffed out her cheeks and looked at Xu Qing.
Somehow, she had the feeling her dad was thinking something bad.
Hsin folded her arms across her chest and watched the two interact from the side.
There's something wrong with the way this child is looking at him. Why does her gaze feel even more burning than mine when I look at the Rover?
Hsin pondered for a moment, then turned her gaze to the aloof figure beside her.
"Little Qingxiao, must you walk so silently? You could scare me to death."
As she said this, Hsin patted her magnificent bosom, setting it rippling in waves.
Qingxiao glanced at the big fox. "You couldn't sense my presence?"
"It's precisely because I sensed Little Qingxiao's presence that I'm a little worried and afraid."
"What are you worried and afraid of?" Qingxiao looked at her coolly.
"Why, of course I'm afraid that my dearest friend Little Qingxiao couldn't see her adorable little disciple, so she'd be so upset her heart would break, and she'd cry and throw a tantrum. Boo-hoo-hoo, how pitiful."
"..." Qingxiao's hands, folded before her lower abdomen, clenched slightly.
Every time she saw this fox, she couldn't resist the urge to run her through with a sword.
As expected, I haven't cultivated my emotions enough.
With a heart clear as ice, I would remain unshaken even if the heavens fell.
Qingxiao then moved farther away from a certain vixen and turned her gaze to Xu Qing.
"Grandmaster!" Aemeath hurried over and greeted her sweetly upon seeing her.
"Master," Xu Qing called out at the same time.
"Mm."
Qingxiao looked at the two of them and nodded slightly.
"Disciple, your foundation has been laid. From here on, you should focus on cultivating even better."
Xu Qing nodded. "As it happens, there's enough power of ice and fire here at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and I cultivate fast enough. I want to turn this place into a cultivation base."
