~~~~~~~~~~~
Days drifted away; I double-timed between my birth mother and my adopted one; of course, Yu had the lion share. However, the time I spent with my original mother always felt longer.
Today, though, is unique; it's was the day my little sister would be born.
I was in Yu's room getting dressed.
The beautiful Ice Fairy was clinging to me like usual, ravishing my time and personal space; accordingly, she touched her mouth and said, "Hm, today your sister would be born, I should let my little treasure go again; what should I do to kill time?" her face had a big question mark.
Lips parting, she rubbed my cheeks, "last time was 1384 minutes; let's shorten it this time, okay?"
"Y-yes, M-mommy," I cutely hugged her, As a blush gradually crept her face, as she lovely tickled my neck, "Say mommy for me again! Or I will tickle you more!"
"Mommy stop!" I was loudly chuckling. I didn't find it shameless to behave like a baby, at least in front of this woman.
"Say it, more!"
"MOMMY!" I screamed.
"hehe! That's better, now let's go get you ready." she said.
What I was not aware of, Is that this royal blood woman was one of the most famous people troughs out the kingdom; her transcendent beauty, that mesmerized even my father, and even the latter was unworthy of such forbidden fruit.
Worshipped from a young age, her gesticulation and expressions are replenished with profound elegance that is thoughtfully cultivated from the day she was born.
Furthermore, she can split a mountain in half and send shudders in her enemy's backs using only a flick of her fingers.
Yet, if visitors saw her right now, they will tear their eyeballs out from the strange sight; she's at this moment just a mother, obsessively doting on her son.
I reassured her with a light kiss, her scattering fragrance cruising the air brightened my mood, calmly soothing my unrest. It felt like a medley dancing within my soul, tickling my senses and carrying me smoothly to the doors of sleep.
If my mother had the motherly sweet honey aroma. Yu has a dizzying scent perfected by the heavens will.
And Before I even know it, I was deep asleep on her comfortable shoulders.
Believe it or not but I was the third male ever to touch her skin, behind only her father and grandpa.
I woke up to the sound of an infant cries; an extreme cold breeze hit my body; my maid was holding me in her arms; she shields me from the unexpected burst of cold; it was similar to Yu's but fiercer and restless like it's trying to devour the whole atmosphere. The obstetrician was shocked; she mumbled something with herself and screamed, "A powerful descendant have been born in the Mo family!"
I concluded that my sister is born having the same element as Yu; I already knew that she would be heavily talented, from the previous events.
As expected, none really came to celebrate my sister's arrival; besides some insignificant gifts, my father doesn't even acknowledge us, the lowly bastard kids.
I signaled the maid to put me close between my mother and the newborn infant; I couldn't dictate anything more than that the greasy little girl has the same eye color as me, shiny "golden yellow." pupils.
She was screaming at the top of her tiny lungs, mother got perplexed and tried to feed her, but she just spitted the milk like it's poison; and sobbed even more; the room was slowly getting chillier, like an air conditioner put on maximum capacity.
The noisy show continued; the maids and my mother tried everything, but they couldn't stop the little girl from sobbing. I crawled to the side of my mother and poked her in the shoulders to bring her attention.
She turned her head and saw me making a "let me touch her" gesture with my hand; mother understood what I wanted to do, but she was still reluctant; after all, I myself was just a baby, but she still decided to put her on the bed, for me to see.
I closed up the distance between us; her wide golden eyes naturally gazed straight into my eyes, like they were the only thing that exists in this room; I reached my hands and lightly touched her cheeks. She didn't cry, smile, or make any particular expression; her discovering gaze kept following my eyes, like a kid seeing his favorite candy.
Everyone in the room wore perplexed looks on their faces, no one understood what is happening with the infant loudly crying just a couple of seconds ago. I docked beside her and cuddled her fragile frame; she sensed my warmth, or perhaps my laws, and magically smiled as she closed her eyes for her first sleep session in this world, which was done without even tasting her mom's milk.
'Never saw a kid that didn't eat right after birth,' I thought.
Her lovely sleepy face brought some protective emotions out of me, 'I must protect her from all harm, especially from that wicked cultivator.'
"I should get stronger!"
Determination roamed my soul; If I can't cultivate now, I can still train my body; and enrich my knowledge.
Following that, I spent the next month's trying to walk faster, even doing squats and body strength exercises; under the servant's weird facial expressions, I even racked up my brain trying to utter words earlier than their time.
I even dared to sneak into my adoptive mother's small library to read cultivation books; there's wasn't really any books that can help me get stronger, only outer information about the basis of this world.
The cultivation techniques were forbidden to be cultivated by the commoners, not because of the fear of them getting stronger, but in this world, everything goes with talent; some people just doesn't possess spiritual roots, or there potential is terrible, only the one percent of the population has the body and talent to cultivate their qi and walk on the path of their dao.
And It all gets tested in the cave of fate; of course, you still need to be, either from a cultivating family-like me, or your parents are extremely rich and powerful in the kingdom, or in the commoner's case, a heavenly lucky talent with a one in a lifetime chance to get tested.
It's a common saying, "If you want to persuade your dao, enter the cave of fate; if you managed to walk five steps, you have a heart; if you managed to walk 20 steps, you have the determination of a dao seeker; if you managed to walk 100 steps, you have the talent required, if you managed to walk more than a 1000, you're blessed by the heaven and earth,"
Secondly, The knowledge I acquired far surpassed what the system can provide me; with each passing day, I broadly widened my horizon.
Hence, slowly unlocking more of my spiritual sea, which results in increasing my IQ and concentration; after all, biologically, it's impossible to reach the mental capacity I once had at this age, my brain is still growing every hour, and my reasoning sense is also heightening with it.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye; I'm five years old now; the maids and servants nicknamed me little tyrant because of my vast interest in discovering new things, which leads some times to some unfortunate events.
My curious personality surprised even Yu.
The excessive doting from my two mothers, Is gradually getting out of hand, it's growing every day with the evolvement of my law, and it's hazardous when it comes to Yu; she's a cold-blooded, ruthless killer. No guard, maid, or servant is allowed to touch me directly skin with skin; if I cried in the hands of a maid, the latter would probably not see the light of the other day either. Likewise, there is this time when I finally succeeded in convincing her to let me play in the beautiful garden; after coming back lightly bruised from the happy time I spent around the bushes and flowers, my Yu went and annihilated the garden as a punishment for harming my skin.
While my voluptuous mother developed some weird habits, like feeding me the milk, it was supposed to be for my little sister. Not like I hate it or anything, but I concluded that her eccentric behavior might be caused by the months she spent locked up in her room;
Well, in short, she seems to have some loose screws at times in her brain.
On the other hand, there is "Mo Yan," my sister. Or like I call her 'little Yan,' her features aren't mature enough to describe yet, but I could say with confidence, that she is arguably the cutest girl I ever saw in my life; her way of uttering words is super adorable;
However, she doesn't speak much in the first place.
If I'm not in the room, she will just stare somewhere like a little doll or sleep, and when my other mother calls for me, she will cling to me like glue before a decadent crying party.
Alternatively, I don't know why, but she doesn't seem to speak to or even allow to hold anyone besides me, even mother included; Perhaps her aloof temperament is already showing signs, probably because of the horrific affinity with the ice element.
Today, however, was different; the celebration of the sect picking new disciples, which happens every four years, is taking place.
'I'm finally old enough to meet my other siblings.'
Mother Yu couldn't attend the party because she's close to a breakthrough in her cultivation, while my birth mother is busy taking care of my sister, so my loli maid Feng Rui is escorting me for the night, and surely the regressor would be there too.
