Chapter 57 Brazen

Chapter 57 Brazen

The sun of noon faded and the world sunk into the darkness of night. 5th month was just starting and soon, winter would arrive in its true form. Already, the night's cold had started to affect people pretty hard. Reaching outside Liyue's home, Han Li breathed out some misty air and said, "Wake up early in the morning and take a bath in the cold water. It's good for you."

Liyue nodded from his side.

Seeing the girl's dejected face, Han Li patted her head. "Don't worry, Pang Li is fine and in good health. Believe me, before he went away, he told me he was headed to Sarak. Once you Evolve, we can go check him out."

He had already told her this once before but she still gets slightly down every time he leaves her here. "If you want to talk about something, I am always here, you know?" he asked while taking the package in her hands into his.

Yue Li had prepared dinner and these days, that's what Liyue brings for her mother too.

"Come, I will check her condition too."

Nodding, Liyue opened her home's door and entered with a slightly relieved heart.

Honestly, she wanted Han Li to speak with her mother but just couldn't get herself to ask. Luckily, he chose to do so on his own.

Entering the house and lighting the lanterns on the way, they knocked on Li Yao's door and entered. Seeing Li Yao calmly lying on the bed, Han Li said, showing the package: "This time, it's meat and vegetables. Mom even cooked it while she had her Soul Sense on. Amazing right?"

Smiling, Li Yao said, "Indeed, Yue Li is a talented person."

Han Li sat beside the bed on a chair — which had now become his usual seat — and Li Yao gave her hand to him instinctually. Whenever he came here, he would just take her hand and give her a massage while also absorbing the meager amount of Lust in her.

It gave her a feeling like she was healing and that was her current biggest hope. Of once again standing on her feet and moving like a normal person.

"Maybe one day, you really might heal me," she said with a chuckle.

Liyue also sat on the bed and just silently looked at them.

Despite only the flame of the lantern in her hand lighting up the surroundings, as an Awakened, she could see everything clearly.

"Not maybe, I will heal you," Han Li said calmly.

Li Yao smiled and Han Li chuckled. "You guys should really just come and live here already now, I won't have to be so lonely if you were all here. Even training will be much more comfortable here anyway." Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Han Li spoke thoughtfully, "We will come but Mom is slightly reluctant to move. But yes, she is also ready now and within a week, we will shift."

"That's much better." Li Yao nodded, but then said teasingly, "I thought you would be one of those stuck-up men who won't go live in their wife's home or take anything from them due to some stupid pride."

Eyes twitching, Han Li stopped massaging her hands. Had it been someone else, he would have thought they meant bad when they said something like that, but he now knew what kind of woman Li Yao was.

"Of course," he said, "If you don't mind your precious Liyue being taken away from you. I am fine, I will just take her to my home."

Liyue blushed behind her ears while Li Yao smiled, "Actually... if you went away like that, who knows? Maybe I will just stand up and follow you guys there."

"How is it? My mom cooks great, right?"

Li Yao nodded. Saying, "Yue Li's cooking is always too spicy but somehow still makes you want more."

"Today, she achieved something," Han Li said with a hidden pride in his heart, "She was too proud of it even though she was too tired. So, today's food is extra special."

Liyue spoke, "Yes, Mother Yue says she cooked better than Sanji today."

"Sanji? Who is that?" Li Yao asked curiously.

"I asked too but she only said he is a great cook..."

Han Li's eyes twitched slightly but he didn't elaborate. He silently fed the woman in his lap another bite.

Gulping it down, she said to Liyue, "But Liyue, you really are a lucky girl."

Liyue looked at her with a blush behind her ears, already realizing what she was speaking about.

"To have a husband as caring as Han Li is such a lucky thing. Even I feel slightly envious."

His red eyes shimmered. "So you say and this girl doesn't even speak to me directly. What do you say? Should I give her some extra punishment when she does badly?"

"You should get her out of her shell somehow if you can."

Han Li nodded. "She is too timid, totally unlike your boldness. But she is really hard working even though she says she isn't interested."

"Just give her a good spanking," Li Yao chuckled.

Liyue blushed all the way to her neck. "Mom!" she weakly exclaimed.

"Anyway, eat the rest of the food. I have to go back soon, that mom of mine must already be asleep."

"Hm, fine." Li Yao then asked, "I wanted to ask you this earlier, when do you plan to consummate your marriage with Liyue? Why don't you guys just do it?"

Han Li looked sideways at Liyue as the girl's face steamed.

"Don't worry, I am in no rush," he said and fed another piece of the bun to her.

Li Yao ate it and said melancholically, "You are like the son I never had."

"Don't tell Yue Li that, she might start a war with you." He chuckled. His Mom would be really mad.

Yue Li might not mind him having more wives, but she would never let him have more mothers. Well, one mother was a handful already.
