Chapter 215: He had lost a bit of his edge being smothered by beauties all around?!
Han Li's mother had been carving something with a wooden piece, while on the bed, with a knife before he arrived, but now, her gaze was on him.
He sighed.
Then looked at her. Really looked at her. Looked at her as if he had never laid eyes on that confused but beautiful face. She was wearing traditional Hanfu today, a white one that made her look like a woman from the neighborhood whom everyone just couldn't stop respecting.
What a powerful golden light. His Existence-enforced eyesight was nearly blinded, and he walked closer without even knowing. Near her, he subconsciously felt warm and welcome.
Before he could even control himself, he walked in front of her and fell into her embrace. She was genuinely confused because he had always been the one embracing her, instead of falling into HER embrace as he was doing now.
But she was only happy to oblige and ruffled his hair.
"What happened, Xiao Li?" she asked softly.
"Nothing, I just feel... warm."
He didn't say anything more, but he could notice his own Existence, and it was changing just by being in her embrace. Until now, it had been parched of any golden aura; it had become a dark abyss like an omen of bad luck.
Liyue had also said at some point that the Spirit mentioned the golden aura was luck. So, a lack of it in him could only mean he had bad luck.
But in her embrace, her overwhelming golden aura started to enter him, and he felt inexplicably relaxed. His Existence also devoured that luck as if a man parched in a desert, and she just seemed to provide as much as he wanted.
"I might fall asleep if this goes on..." Han Li stifled a yawn, but Yue Li was surprised.
He was practically clinging on to her as if he had returned to being her little boy from the past. Her heart almost melted.
"Aww~ did Liyue drain you so much yesterday you became such a mess?" she asked, but then suddenly smiled: "That mentioned! I bought something from the resource hall of the temple, something you'd love at this moment."
She put the carving she was working on to the side and, not making him move, took a blue fruit from the drawer beside them. Han Li blinked at the sight of the fruit.
He knew what it was. She ate it, and Han Li smiled wryly without stopping her.
With a big smile on her face, she said, "This fruit is a Water Dao resource. Guess what it does?"
"It makes you lactate for a month or so, right?"
Her face puffed up. "I knew you'd know it."
Han Li sighed, wrapped his hand around her back, and shifted in one clean motion. Her hanfu floated in the air as she was brought into his embrace in the more submissive position. She was obviously more used to this.
"What?" She frowned, looking at his face. "You don't want to try it?"
"I could lay like this forever. But I am in a bit of a hurry today—"
She removed her upper clothes without letting him continue. He stopped and looked at her as her bountiful assets bounced out of her robes and her pink nipples basically brushed against his lips.
He gulped, and his adam's apple bobbed slightly. Then, he began to suckle. She giggled as she felt the tickling sensation of something going from inside her body into his: milk.
His Existence almost burst in color as an exponential amount of golden aura entered into him along with it. With a deep breath, Han Li parted, licking the milk on both sides of his lips.
She just happened to be a bit dumb. What can she do about it?
She created a son smarter than herself, right? Wasn't that smart by itself?
Humph. This junior didn't know the immensity of the heavens.
As Han Li entered the room, the energy in the room naturally changed. It became charged.
Every single beautiful gaze moved and focused on him except Ruo and Liyue, who were in a heated battle. They were seated on the ground, and Han Li walked till he sat in the middle of the chessboard, to the side of the fighters.
In the room, there were five people, excluding Han Li and his mother. Liyue, Ruo, Li Yao, Wei Yuanfen, and Hua Feilan. All of them had been either playing board games or meditating all day. If they grew bored, they would go into the waterfall some distance from here for a bath.
Liyue didn't look away from the board but asked, "Did you find out about the golden stuff, Big Broth—Hubby?"
"Not really. I didn't waste time researching it by myself. We'll ask the knowledgeable ones, no need to steam our heads for it."
Liyue nodded and moved her queen to the front, killing off Ruo's queen.
Ruo was calm and from a different area, brought her rook to kill Liyue's queen. Smirking, Liyue placed a bishop onto the side. "Checkmate."
Han Li grimaced as Ruo moved one of her pawns, which Liyue hadn't noticed. The move removed her own checkmate while trapping Liyue's king. Ruo calmly said, "Counter checkmate."
Liyue groaned. "I'd have won if I was the one playing from the start!" She had taken over the game her mother was playing; she wasn't the one who had played the board from the start.
Ruo yawned, hiding her mouth with a hand. "Surely, you'll have won."
Yue Li was on Han Li's lap. He let her sit to the side before he focused his gaze on one particular person in the room.
"Li Yao, come here," he called.
The slim woman in monk robes, looking at the chessboard with a contemplative face, blinked and tilted her head. "That's mother-in-law for you. But what?"
"How has your archery training been going recently?"
Han Li had chosen Archery for Li Yao for a reason; she had keen eyes. It would be too much of a waste not to use it.
He hadn't been looking into their individual training as he had been researching how to gain his own Beast Core for a while.
The basics had already been taught years ago, and the rest was just filling in the blanks anyway. She could learn by herself.
Li Yao smirked. "As good as what a normal woman can become with three years of training—with a professional trainer."
Han Li nodded.
He planned to do many things today.
Only Liyue had some ideas about his plans, but she didn't say anything and rearranged the chessboard. "Ruo, I bet you this. If I lose this game, I will bow down and call you invincible."
Ruo scratched her white eyebrows. "What is the use of you calling me invincible?"
Liyue scoffed.
