Bai Xiang studied his newly acquired cultivation technique for 4 hours until he heard a noise coming from another part of his house since he needed a break after trying to focus for so long he decided to check it out.
As he walked around to find the cause of the noise he came upon an average-looking woman with honey-colored hair and a tired expression, she was sitting down with a rather lethargic expression, clearly, she had just returned from a hard day at work and wanted some rest.
When she noticed him her expression turned soft as she spoke in a loving way.
"Come here, mommy needs a hug after a long day at work."
Bai Xiang was a little bit surprised since he figured he was old enough to not be put in this kind of situation but he could not turn down the expectant gaze from this woman, something in his body did feel comfortable with the idea of being spoiled by her.
When he sat next to her she instantly hugged him with her right arm and started stroking his hair with her left. He instantly felt comforted and safe, he instantly realized that the former owner of this body was definitely a momma's boy, if getting a hug was so comfortable he could understand why.
As she continued doing whatever she wanted she spoke to him in a tender tone.
"Were you able to find a job today? Since your core is cracked you better not get a manual labor job, that will worry me too much. I hope you gave up on your gigolo fantasy, you should find someone you love, not some rich and spoiled young miss."
As he thought about it, there was no point in hiding what happened from his parents, it would make stuff less troublesome later if he needed to leave home anyways. It would be sad if they went looking for him and ended up getting killed in the process.
"Of course, I found something amazing, how about we wait until father comes back and I will tell you guys together? I will tell you that I definitely found a lucky chance."
Hearing his words his mother nodded her head in understanding.
"If that is how it is help me make dinner, we should definitely celebrate tonight! Of course, my son will have a successful future."
Seemingly rested she instantly let go of him and got up and headed to the kitchen, just seconds later she started barking commands toward him since he was already very hungry again he instantly followed her commands like a dutiful son.
After around an hour they were just finishing the meal when the door opened and the same man from this morning came in, as he smelled the meal and looked at the mother and son who had started setting the table with a very happy expressions.
"It is rare for you to make such wonderful dinner honey, this is every husband's dream! Is there a special event today? Was it our anniversary or something and I forgot?"
For a moment Bai Xiang almost dropped the food he was carrying, how did his father find a wife with such a straightforward approach? Didn't he just make a blunder to would get him sleeping on the couch for a few days? Wait, they did not have a couch.
To his surprise, his mother also acted against his expectation.
"Ha, you didn't forget anything this time, our boy had a fortunate development while looking for a job today so we are celebrating."
His father had a confused look before looking at his son with a strange expression.
"If you say that you somehow seduced a noble young miss to take you as her boy toy I swear I will definitely slap you!"
Suddenly his mother also looked at him with an aggrieved expression, what did his parents think of him to come to such conclusions?
Bai Xiang silently thought that they were looking down on him.
'I would definitely not mind being taken in by a beautiful young miss to be her attendant or something but now that I know that this is just a small world how could I allow myself to be taken in by such a low-level character? I am definitely destined for the highest heaven with my system, how could I submit to someone below that?'
To dispel his parents' doubts he spoke in a proud tone.
"It is definitely much better than that! I will tell you after we eat, we cannot let such appetizing food get cold!"
As they sat down his father patted him on the back.
"You really know how to build suspense today, it better be worth it!"
With that, they all dug into a very filling meal of pork, rice, and soup. Even though it was an average meal to many, Bai Xiang felt like it was one of the best meals of his life, he was happy and his newfound parents were also happy.
Once they all ate their fill and put the dishes to the side to wash later they returned to the table for his announcement.
To begin with he needed to establish what was happening.
"Mom, Dad, do you guys know the alchemy pill store Aquae Vitae in the town square?"
His parents quickly looked at each other and his mother answered.
"Of course we have, it is the most extravagant building in the city, but what does that have to do with anything?"
As he thought about it he realized he could not tell his parents he was paying for the pill he received with stories that there was no logical way he should have known. With that realization, he came up with the next best explanation according to his previous self's personality.
"Well, the elven shopkeeper gave me a pill the heal my core in exchange for doing some favors for her."
Instantly both of his parents' eyes almost bulged out of their skulls, as adults who had lived in the city for decades they understood how much an alchemy pill cost. His mother started shaking as she asked a question with a quiver.
"Not to seem mean or ungrateful, but what could you possibly do for someone like that to pay back hundreds of gold coins?"
His father nodded in agreement, also completely flabbergasted.
"Well, it is important to know that Miss Amanda, the worker at that store is from a higher world! It can be assumed that she is definitely the strongest and most knowledgeable in this entire region most likely. She said I have a unique physique and I could have the pill in exchange for using it."
His parents went through various emotions, a higher world? If their son just stayed around someone from there wouldn't he reap many benefits? Although information about higher realms was not common most people knew that worlds with much higher density spiritual energy existed and the people from there were much stronger.
For such an expert to take notice of their son did that not mean he was secretly extraordinary?
His mother was still somewhat suspicious though.
"How can your physique help her? It makes sense if you can get strong but how does that do anything for her?"
Bai Xiang coughed awkwardly at what he was about to say, before today he would never dreamed of coming up with a story like this.
"Well, according to her the physique I have specializes in giving pleasure to women, so essentially she wants me to do THAT to repay my debt."
Upon hearing his response his dad instantly had his eyes rolled up into his head as he fell out of his chair foaming at the mouth. On the other hand, his mother stood up and instantly got near him, her face was at most a foot away as she looked into his eyes.
Instantly she started talking and the contents of her speech surprised him immensely.
"Haha, that's wonderful! If that's the case you must do a very good job! If you can do an amazing job she will always be thinking of you and can you get many favors! You must ask your father for some teachings, some of my friends have daughters your age, I'm sure I can help you get the chance to practice with them. You must make her attached to you so if she ever goes to a higher world she will take you with her."
After hearing her response he was shocked beyond compare, he thought if he made it awkward his parents would just leave it to him and would not want to know the details, unfortunately, it seemed his mom was secretly an ambitious person who wanted to get Miss Amanda addicted to him. Did that not sound like a hentai plot though?
As his mother continued to rant he interrupted her and spoke.
"This is a secret though so don't tell anyone, it would not be surprising if Miss Amanda killed us all if it was exposed! Anyways, I need to cultivate so good night."
Hearing him his mother quickly nodded.
"Yes you are right! Cultivation will build power and stamina, very important for being able to get the job done. Don't worry though, mommy will sort everything out!"
With that Bai Xiang went up to continue learning The Wanderer's Guidebook to a Dreamy Night, in the back of his mind he felt like in his attempt to hide the troublesome matter of knowing many stories that do not exist in this world he created a ticking time bomb.
