Chapter 75: Mom? What?!

Chapter 75: Mom? What?!

*woosh* The light-blonde-haired woman flashed through the air quickly reaching above a grand castle. The guards who were at the front of the gate narrowed their eyes seeing a flying figure "Who dares to fly above the Royal Fortress?"

*bonk* At this time, another soldier bonked his head from behind "You moron, that is Lady Hua, our General and close friend of Her Majesty, she has all the rights to fly above the castle."

Upon stepping onto the balcony, the woman swiftly made her way into a particular luxurious chamber within the castle.

*thud* She dropped to her knees in front of the beautiful woman with long blonde hair"Your Majesty!"

The mature blonde-haired woman sitting on the couch shook her head helplessly "How many times have I told you to call me Xue... Hua'er." The woman named Ning Xue spoke her eyes glancing at Yu Hua.

Yu Hua stood up with a smile "How can I? You are the Empress of the Holy Land of Zhenzhu after all." A chuckle left Ning Xue's lips as she patted the space beside her "Come and sit."

With a nod, Yu Hua walked and sat beside her on the couch "How is your body health, Xue?" Yu Hua asked in concern and a sigh left Ning Xue's lips "Still like that, in fact, it is worsening."

Yu Hua's eyes crescented in worry "I also tried to search for the Ember Essence Lotus in the human world, but I couldn't find it."

Ning Xue chuckled "We couldn't even find that in Zhenzhu, do you think you can find it in the human world, where Astral Energy is low?"

Yu Hua smiled wryly "I just wanted to try searching for it... well, do you have any exciting news for me?"

Ning Xue gave a nod "Maybe I have." she spoke and gave her a letter. Reading through the letter "An Ancient heritage?" she muttered.

"No one is joining from the Royal Family side, it's just the top sects. You wanna join?" Ning Xue asked and Yu Hua shook her head "No..."

"Well, then tell me any interesting things from the human world."

Thinking about the human world, Yu Hua suddenly remembered Zhao Tian "Xue..."

...

*tap* Zhao Tian landed on the terrace of Chi Miya's room and Chi Miya who was craddled in his arms got down. Zhao Tian wrapped his hand around her waist and lovingly brushed a few strands of hair away from her face."Miya, the ones who you killed were Evil Cultivators... So don't feel bad for them."

A sigh left Chi Miya's lips and she leaned on his chest "I know and I am also glad nothing happened to you. That woman looked dangerous."

With a smile, Zhao Tian raised her chin and softly kissed her lips. Chi Miya also closed her eyes relishing the kiss as he gently sucked her lower lip. *smooch*

Pulling back the kiss, Zhao Tian smiled gently "It is almost night, go and eat your dinner and sleep peacefully..."

"A-Aunty found out?!"

*smooch* He gave a peck on her cheek and got up wearing his clothes. "I am leaving, dear."

Chi Miya gave a nod "En."

...

*creek* Zhao Tian pushed the door to Zhao Ying's room and entered inside. Seeing him, Zhao Ying hurriedly stood up from her bed and walked near him.

Zhao Tian hugged her body and asked "What happened, Ying'er..." Zhao Ying let out a sigh and explained how Zhao Suyin caught her kissing him while he was asleep.

Zhao Tian patted her head with a smile "Don't worry, Ying'er. I will talk with Mom."

Zhao Ying nodded her head and her eyes quivered in hesitation "Uh, T-Tian'er.." Hm? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow noticing her hesitation.

Zhao Ying averted his gaze, afraid to meet his eyes "Out of frustration, I-I yelled at mom and asked about Dad... and... the 'talk' we had...'

Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes and raised her chin up "Ying'er you asked Mom whether she is really your Mom?"

Hearing his stiff tone, Zhao Ying's heart shook "I-I did..."

"Ying'er, I have told you not to bring that subject and ask Mom. She would be hurt."

Zhao Ying's body trembled and she gave a nod "I-I know... In the heat of the moment, I was just so desperate hoping that you would not be my sibling and I-I lashed it out... I... am sorry Tian'er." she apologized hugging him.

A sigh escaped Zhao Tian's lips and he spoke "First, let's go and see our Mom."

"O-Ok!"

...

*creek* Zhao Tian slowly pushed the door to his Mother's room and saw Zhao Suyin sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes drenched with tears, her nose red.

With a soft sigh, Zhao Tian walked in "Tian'er.." she exhaled ever so softly, her breath escaping her lips like a delicate whisper. "Mom..." With tenderness he settled beside her, allowing her to lean on his shoulder for solace and support.

Zhao Ying rushed into the room and immediately dropped to her knees before Zhao Suyin, her mother, with a look of regret etched on her face. "M-Mom, I am sorry, I said such things..."

Zhao Suyin wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes using the back of her hand and took a deep breath mustering her strength to regain control over her swirling emotions.

"B-But, it's true... I am not your real mother!"
