Chapter 196: Mother and Daughter Talk
"Mom!"
The little rabbit, lying on the ground, didn't care about the pain in her body. Instead, she gazed tearfully at the figure in front of her.
The woman, after a moment of confusion, gradually regained her senses. When she heard the familiar voice behind her, her entire body stiffened.
She quickly turned around, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her daughter.
That's right, although the little rabbit had already transformed into a human and the transformation pill had concealed her soul beast aura, the mother still recognized her daughter at first glance.
"Xiao Wu?"
"Mom!"
Seeing her mother recognize her, Xiao Wu quickly stood up and moved in front of the woman. This time, she didn't throw herself onto her mother but instead gave her a gentle embrace.
"Xiao Wu, I'm so glad you're okay."
Ning Bei silently exited the room, leaving the two of them some time together. They probably had a lot of emotions to share, so he didn't want to stay and become a nuisance.
After an unknown amount of time, the little rabbit slowly opened the room's door. When she saw Ning Bei still standing outside, her eyes filled with gratitude, and she waved at him.
"Ning Bei, big brother, come in!"
Ning Bei waved his right hand, and the Dan Tower appeared. Then, Da Ming and Er Ming appeared in front of him.
The two looked at Ning Bei and Xiao Wu in confusion.
"What's going on, Brother Ning Bei?"
"Xiao Wu!"
Ning Bei didn't answer their confusion and directly greeted them into the room.
As soon as they entered, they saw a long-missed figure.
"Ruo Yi!"
"Auntie!"
The woman bowed deeply to Ning Bei, probably having heard about the events over the years from Xiao Wu.
Then, she turned to look at the two strong men in front of her. She could recognize her daughter due to their blood connection, but she had no way of recognizing Da Ming and Er Ming, who had no soul beast aura.
Da Ming, realizing the situation, quickly said:
"Auntie, I'm Da Ming!"
Er Ming was more direct, and without saying a word, he was about to transform into his original form. Ning Bei stepped forward and slapped him on the head.
"What are you thinking? Your original form would crush this place!"
Er Ming quickly stopped, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Ruo Yi, I'm Er Ming!"
Xiao Wu smiled lightly, covering her mouth with a chuckle, and quickly explained to her mother:
"Mom, Da Ming and Er Ming joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan with me."
Then began a round of polite conversation. After such a long separation, there was always a lot to catch up on, from the polluted water in the Star Dou Forest to the harvest of carrots.
Ning Bei didn't disturb their reunion, quietly watching as they caught up.
After some time, the woman turned back to look at Ning Bei with gratitude in her eyes.
"Lord, I am forever grateful to you, Ruo Yi cannot thank you enough!"
Ning Bei waved his hand, signaling her not to be so polite.
"I treat Xiao Wu as my sister, Auntie doesn't need to be so formal!"
Xiao Wu's previously happy expression faded as soon as she heard him call her his "sister." Ruo Yi, being an experienced mother, immediately understood her daughter's feelings.
But she didn't rush. Her daughter had always been by Ning Bei's side, so there would always be opportunities in the future.
After chatting with Ning Bei for a while, Ruo Yi, whose form had become more ethereal, reluctantly glanced at her daughter.
"Xiao Wu, from now on, listen to your big brother Ning Bei more, okay? Don't be naughty!"
Xiao Wu knew it was time to part again, and tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"Mom, I don't want you to leave!"
"Silly child, I'm already happy just to see you, Da Ming, and Er Ming one more time. There's no need to force it."
Though she said this, Xiao Wu and the others still looked at Ruo Yi with sorrow, their hearts filled with reluctance.
Ning Bei rubbed his forehead. These people were overacting a bit too much.
"Hey, am I missing something here?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu turned back, confused, wondering what she had missed.
Ning Bei gave her an annoyed look.
"Auntie's soul bone is right here, and there are plenty of soul nurturing pills. If you want to see Auntie, just call her out!"
"Huh! Ning Bei, big brother, are you saying mom can come out more than once?"
"When did I ever say she could only come out once?"
"Eh! You didn't say that?"
Xiao Wu leaned back in shock and gave Ning Bei a look, realizing she hadn't heard that. Her sadness quickly turned into excitement as she turned to look at her mother.
"Mom, did you hear that? We can see each other every day from now on!"
Ruo Yi nodded happily, her gaze filled with tenderness as she looked at Xiao Wu.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
The group turned their attention back to Ning Bei, who was shaking his head in exasperation.
"What's wrong, Ning Bei, big brother? Didn't you just say we could see mom every day?"
"What are you thinking? Auntie is in a soul state when meeting you. Do you want her to come out every day and wander around, risking her soul fading away?"
"Ah! Then what should we do? Mom, please go back!"
Xiao Wu turned back to look at her mother anxiously, fearing her soul might vanish at any moment.
Ning Bei laughed and glanced at Xiao Wu, who had drooped again with visible disappointment.
"You can forget about seeing her every day."
"Just keep Auntie's soul bone, and I'll prepare more soul nurturing pills for you later."
"You saw how I activated the soul nurturing pill earlier. Just do it like that when the time comes."
"Once a week should be fine for seeing Auntie."
Upon hearing Ning Bei's explanation, Xiao Wu's gloomy expression turned bright again, and she smiled excitedly.
"Did you hear that, mom? We can meet every week from now on!"
Ruo Yi said nothing but looked at her daughter with a loving gaze. She reached out to pat her head, but realizing her current form, her hand froze in mid-air, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Xiao Wu, who was normally not very perceptive, caught the hint of disappointment in her mother's eyes and, excitedly, ran to Ning Bei's side and tugged on his arm.
"Mom, Ning Bei, big brother said that he will be able to completely resurrect you in the future!"
Ruo Yi, along with Da Ming and Er Ming, was taken aback and looked at Ning Bei in disbelief, wanting to confirm if Xiao Wu's words were true.
Under the shocked gaze of the three, Ning Bei slowly nodded, confirming the truth of Xiao Wu's words.
Da Ming sucked in a cold breath. How could someone possibly resurrect someone or a soul beast who had been dead for nearly 20 years? What kind of existence would be needed to accomplish that?
However, thinking about Ning Bei being the successor of the Ice God, he began to feel this might actually be a reasonable thing.
Ruo Yi deeply bowed to Ning Bei again, and when she stood up, her eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Thank you so much, my lord. I don't know how to repay you."
Xiao Wu blinked and thought, "Can I offer myself to Ning Bei, big brother?"
Having been in the soul form for so long, Ruo Yi also began to feel a bit weary. After looking at Xiao Wu with a fond gaze, she didn't say anything more and transformed into pink light, returning to the soul bone to fall into a deep sleep.
After all, her daughter had Da Ming and Er Ming by her side, so she wouldn't be bullied. She just needed to rest and wait for the next meeting.
