Chapter 73: I Will Do Anything For You

As both siblings were walking by the hallway, they suddenly noticed Aria getting out of her room. She had a smile formed on her glossy red lips, noticing her adorable son and daughter together.

As soon as Lily saw Aria, she ran towards her happily before wrapping her small arms around her legs. "Mommy!"

Aria, with a smile, pulled Lily up into a tight embrace when the girl let out a sweet squeal.

"Fufu... Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well last night?" The purple-black haired woman asked while stroking her jet-black locks.

"Yes! I dreamt of playing with Big Brother and Mommy. It was super fun!"

"Really now?" Aria spoke softly.

"Uh-huh! I also dreamt of eating yummy and sweet snacks and chocolates."

"I'm glad you're happy, baby girl. Because, guess what?"

"What is it?"

"You can get to eat sweets and ice cream whenever you want to." Aria revealed a mischievous grin upon declaring this.

"Oh! That's awesome...!!! So we can eat sweets all day?!" Lily widened her eyes, appearing stunned by what she heard, as her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing her reaction, Aria chuckled and replied, "Fufu, maybe not that much. But certainly more than usual."

Then her lips curled into a loving smile as she continued, "Moreover, you'll be able to visit different places and try delicious dishes around the world. We shall travel wherever you please. What do you think about that, my beautiful daughter?"

Hearing such words spoken by her beloved mother, a dazzling light shone within her bright blue eyes. "Yeah~!! Lily looks forward to it all, mom!"

"That's good. I want you to live a wonderful, blissful, and fulfilled life." Aria spoke in a soft tone filled with infinite warmth and love as she gave a soft kiss to little Lily's forehead.

"Sigh... It seems both of you forgot about me." Asher expressed it jokingly, showing a fake sad expression.

"Indeed, Maria, this is delicious. The texture of the dough is perfect, and the pancake itself isn't too greasy either. Well done." She praised Maria graciously.

"Yes! It's very delicious." Lily exclaimed with a smile.

"Thank you so much." The beautiful maid felt honored after getting praise from such a distinguished person, feeling extremely flattered and shy at the same time.

Aria then looked towards Asher and asked mischievously, "Honey, can you tell me how and where you found this beautiful cook for our house?"

"Well..." Asher tried to come up with an answer to explain how he actually came to know Maria, but he didn't find the perfect explanation for that yet. So he truned towards Nadia and asked, "Nadia, can you please share the details with mom through spirit sense?"

He still couldn't do that personally, so he asked Nadia to explain, as only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and above are able to use spirit sense and share memories.

"Yes, young master," Nadia answered as she used her spirit sense to connect to Aria's mind and transfer all the information through memories that she witnessed when she went with Asher yesterday.

In just a few moments, all those scenes appeared in Aria's vision vividly, watching everything exactly as Nadia remembered, while her beautiful eyes became filled with compassion towards Maria.

When she saw how Asher killed all five thugs and rescued poor Maria, Aria admired him even more for his bravery.

'It appears I underestimated how far my baby boy has grown. But I am happy that he was brave enough to stand up and fight against those awful people and even kill them. Now he has already become a proper cultivator, as only strength matters in this world.' She thought inwardly while feeling prideful in her heart.

"I'm impressed, honey. You did well." Aria declared proudly.

"Thanks, mom." Asher felt glad to see the loving, caring, and proud look on her face.

Then she gazed into his azure blue eyes deeply for a moment before asking, "So... what was that secret technique you used against those thugs?"

Hearing her question, Asher revealed a confident smirk.

"I'll tell you everything when I take you to a secret place after breakfast." He replied mysteriously and cunningly, as it's best to keep everything a surprise until the actual moment.

"Okay, then." She nodded slowly in acknowledgment of his statement and returned to finish her breakfast calmly.

Once they finished eating their meals, everyone went to the garden, following Asher's lead.
