Chapter 961: You Remind Me A Bit Of My Mother...

"What's wrong, young master?"

Once she finished filling the tea cup, Di Ji asked shyly while blushing as she felt Ling Tian's direct gaze on her. Her heart was beating intensely filled with shyness, nervousness and joy, steadily increasing as she felt Ling Tian's eyes linger on her face longer.

"Well, I feel like I have a cute maid who gets prettier every day..." Ling Tian smiled slightly, amused as he watched the swirl of emotions surging on Di Ji's face, causing her expression to change many times.

Di Ji has slowly changed, her body has been developing towards the perfection of beauty, becoming a beautiful winter fairy. Her body, which was once thin and weak, is now more developed and has grown, becoming more beautiful with a touch of elegance. The long hair, which was completely black, now seems to be slowly changing with some gray locks, and one or the other becoming totally snow white.

Di Ji's hair will become pure snow white in the future, while her eyes seem to turn slightly sky blue, gathering beauty in them as well while she slowly turns into a beautiful and immaculate winter fairy. This is undoubtedly an effect of the Three Winters Heavenly Pill.

"Y-young master..." Di Ji's blush intensified much more, feeling her heartbeat so intense that it felt like her heart was about to burst. A sweetness could not help but arise in her as she received the compliments from her young master, her heart filled with extreme joy and sweetness.

At this moment, Di Ji was wearing a beautiful robe, blue with white, but with straps and a design similar to the costumes of maidservants in palaces and royal places. Her demeanor was also becoming more delicate, refined and respectful, serving tea calmly and elegantly while showing a genuine and happy smile as she was with Ling Tian.

"Why didn't you go to the talent meeting with Fengyuan, Feng Zhiyun and Feng Xiao? There would be many talented and strong people there, and you could even meet more people and get along well with them..."

Ling Tian was curious as to why Di Ji had not gone with the guys to the youth gathering. With Di Ji's talent and physique, she would be welcomed and even admired. Di Ji's beauty would also make her the center of attention.

"Because I'm still very weak, young master..." Di Ji shook her head while still maintaining her smile. A flash of determination crossed her face, she wanted to become stronger so she could help Ling Tian in any way she could.

Besides, Di Ji was not interested in being in a place full of young strangers. The only thing that kept on her mind was to wait for Ling Tian to appear once again. Di Ji also decided to focus on cultivating to increase her strength faster, instead of wasting her time socializing with strangers, it would be better to make the most of her time and cultivate. That way she would not disappoint her young master.

Ling Tian listened to Di Ji, he did not refute her, he looked at her, understanding her thoughts.

"By the way, this is for you..."

Searching through his storage ring, Ling Tian took out the Frosty Heart Snow, which he had kept for Di Ji.

The Frosty Heart Snow is very valuable to cultivators who cultivate ice arts, so it would definitely be very beneficial to Di Ji. Ling Tian had obtained 5 in total, which he gave to Yun Mengxin, Xi Fei and Yang Jing. Now, after handing one to Di Ji as well, only one of the five remained.

Di Ji blinked full of surprise, she took the small snowflake in her hands, feeling how an extremely cold energy penetrated her body, but seemed to blend into her aura gently and making her feel more energized. Even her cultivation base reacted, and the bottleneck began to loosen slightly!

"Thank you very much, young master!" Di Ji smiled full of sweetness and happiness, she bowed to Ling Tian with much respect and gratitude, and she carefully stored the Frosty Heart Snow in her own storage ring for later use.

Di Ji's gaze shone like the sun at its highest point, with a thousand feelings flooding her heart as happiness overflowed from her. An expression of a young girl full of joy is evident just by looking at her, much more so with her pure and innocent eyes watching Ling Tian and with a smile full of love.

Ling Tian looked at her affectionately, but said no more. He understood Di Ji's feelings, but he already has 7 women and he doesn't want to disappoint Di Ji, although he had said that she will be his personal maid for eternity.

'Maybe when she meets more people, Di Ji might change her mind...'

Ling Tian thought as he continued to watch Di Ji with affection. If Di Ji decides to leave with someone else, Ling Tian won't stop her, but in case she decided to stay with him, Ling Tian will protect her as his family. The title of personal maid is just an agreement of words, but Ling Tian has no plans to mistreat or despise her, he will treat Di Ji with love and respect, being like another member of his family.

Although it seems that his worries are unfounded. Ling Tian remembers perfectly well that he has more family now but it's not necessarily depressing. His in-laws are also like them, and yet they still keep together and are waiting for him like one big family.

"You remind me a bit of my mother..."

"Huh?"

Ling Tian suddenly said shortly before he lifted his cup and took a sip, stunning Feng Qiangxun when she heard him. Di Ji was also startled and immediately she silently looked at Ling Tian knowing that he wanted to talk to Feng Qiangxun. Di Ji sharpened her ears, wanting to know about Ling Tian's family.

Feng Qiangxun silently looked at Ling Tian, finally letting go a little of the nervousness, respect and fear she felt a few seconds ago. The phrase 'you remind me a bit of my mother' momentarily shook her nervous thoughts and emotions, and a hint of curiosity arose from what Ling Tian had said.

"Although I was not her biological son, she always considered me as her true son, her own son of blood and flesh... my beloved mother, so kind and gentle to everyone, but with unfathomable strength and an invincible spirit to protect her children and family, made her an amazing and special woman, full of priceless infinite love..."

Ling Tian smiled softly, mysteriously being able to sense a sincere and special love and affection about the woman he was talking about. His mother, though she was adoptive, would always be his real mother as well and he would always carry her in his heart.

"Adoptive mother?" Feng Qiangxun was surprised to hear Ling Tian. It seemed that there was much more to it than Ling Tian seemed.

Di Ji was also shocked. A tinge of worry arose in her heart as she realized that Ling Tian's life might be very different from others.

"The love you have for your children, for your husband, for your entire family, is something that many despise and few can recognize..."

Ling Tian raised his gaze, staring directly at Feng Qiangxun, adding shortly, "The Immortal World is not like this Cultivation World. There, the law of the strongest is remembered at every instant, absolute power is the one that dominates everything without exception, not even blood or family ties are the exception to this universal law... it is a cold and cruel world where fists do the talking!"

The scene of pain, worry and anxiety, as well as the love, affection and joy he saw from Feng Qiangxun towards her two children, Feng Zhiyun and Feng Xiao, was being recalled in Ling Tian's mind.

In the Immortal World, Ling Tian had witnessed parents ignoring their families, despising them or even going to the point of trading them for their own lives, letting their women, children and offspring be killed if they would spare their lives or something far more despicable, obtaining resources and higher power.

Men killing their wives, women betraying their men, fathers and children killing each other, all for the power and desire to become stronger. Even many parents would abandon their children when it was known that they became crippled, or even when they are not suitable for cultivation from a young age, being a burden and shame to the family, so they end up being banished or killed.

Although it is not totally impossible to find families who sincerely care for each other and do not abandon each other when there are problems, unfortunately they are in a world where interests are more paramount than family ties. That is why Ling Tian wanted to show them that they should not view everyone else with trust and naivety.

"That's why you all shouldn't be trusting and should always keep together, not all immortal cultivators are calm like me..."

Ling Tian paused his words, he frowned as he felt a wave of energy reach him from afar.

The small piece of void crystal that he had given to Feng Ye when they separated in the past to go to different places after agreeing to bring Di Ji and her family was destroyed, which let Ling Tian know that there was something troubling that they as expert powerhouses of the world had difficulty dealing with

A terrifying force also crossed the sky from the horizon, causing the sky to darken slightly.

In front of the two women's eyes, Ling Tian disappeared from the scene in an instant.
