My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 72  Dream

"It might get rowdy though… she is really beautiful."

…

"Look at you girl, why are you so dead-eyed?" Han Li asked with a face filled with irritation.

"He is right, Ruo, you should try to be a bit more lively. We are not like those people, nobody wants to hurt you here. And even though this kid looks mean with his red eyes, he is my son. He is actually kinder than me." Yue Li said as she petted the girl\'s white hair.

She looked at them with a blank gaze. She was like a child even though she was already an adult. But a child who had been deeply scarred.

Han Li had to say her brown eyes captivated him slightly. He rubbed his nose at the thought.

"What does Ruo have to do?" she asked like a machine.

"You don\'t have to do anything. We\'re his sidekicks, so of course, it is his job to carry us." Yue Li\'s chest puffed up at the words. "I might look like a useless person, but believe me, I am the one who plans out all of Xiao Li\'s actions. I am the smartest of us both."

Han Li rolled his eyes at them.

…

It was an icy hot winter outside and Han Li was covered with a blanket. Snuggling on both his sides were his two precious women. "Ruo, how does it feel to be in Big Brother\'s embrace?"

"Ruo feels calm in Big Brother\'s embrace. Ruo likes big brother," she said sleepily as she snuggled deeper into his embrace. He didn\'t care much about the weather but for these two, the coldness was too much.

"I heard a river was blasted apart by a super powerful cultivator and that made the temperature cool so sharply," Han Li said in a daze, "Mom, when do you think I will be able to do it?"

"I don\'t know…" Yue Li said with a tired yawn. Han Li looked at her with a smile. But deep down, he was growing anxious. Her Lifespan was reduced by the day and she only had a lifespan of 23 years more left.

She hadn\'t really noticed but the greying hair on her temples made his heart lurch. \'That Lifespan dew was according to their info said to be at the top of Yue Xian mountain. It will take me 4 more years for them to reach the north of the sacred lust continent. But it should be easy after I reach there.\'

He could trade any Life Type of Material for the needed one after all. But Life was the hardest-to-find type of resource, and Yue Li no longer had her Body Cultivation Talent to trade for any. Her numbers were counted.

…

"Ruo likes Big Brother! Please marry Ruo!" Ruo looked at him seriously as she asked. Her previous traumas were healing, she was coming out of her shell. "If you marry me, you will not have to be sneaky anymore when touching me!"

Han Li rubbed his nose. "So embarrassing Ruo, so many people are looking."

"Ruo doesn\'t care about other people, Ruo only cares about Mother Yue and Big Brother Han."

Han Li looked at her and chuckled. The people around them stared at them adorably but the men\'s gaze couldn\'t help but waver at the goddess-like beauty that Ruo was.

But equally, the women couldn\'t help but look at Han Li with adoration. He was too handsome due to being a Life Dao Cultivator.

And that day, Ruo became a woman.

…

"The storm is heavy!" Han Li\'s sound was muffled as he cut through the snowstorm. "The mountain is just an hour away from here. There is a famous tavern around the area, Ruo, you bring mom there. I will be back soon. Check the map if it becomes confusing."

Ruo nodded. "Be careful big brother, the snow bear beast king there is as strong as a Power Born."

White, beautiful wings sprouted behind her back and she flew away with Yue Li in her hands. She looked down at her face and couldn\'t help but swallow.

\'I hope big brother finds the resource.\'

Yue Li was already growing weaker. Her hair was half white and her health wasn\'t really good. Her lifespan barely remained 22 years.

"Don\'t pity me, Ruo." Yue Li smiled as she looked at Han Li\'s back in the distance. "Even if I said not to go there, he will still do so, right?"

"He will Mom." "I am such a burden for him, right, Ruo?" Yue Li asked, her voice a bit melancholic.

Ruo flew for a while in silence. "Big Brother Han was right. Old people do get grumpy."

"Tha…that bastard, he said that?"

Han Li smiled as he returned his protective Soul Sense back.

…

The beastly roar of a bear rang out in his ears as he opened his eyes groggily in utter pain. He couldn\'t move or shift, he was bound by the bear\'s huge paws as it feasted on his hands.

"No… No…" he groaned in pain but soon, his voice died down. The bear had taken a bite out of his jaws.

He stared at it with a hopeless expression. But the bear just snarled and kept biting his hands. The bones were chewed in and flesh was ripped apart.

His organs were spilling out from his guts.

\'Mom… Ruo…\'

As the last vestiges of life were about to leave him, a strong pair of hands surrounded the beast\'s neck and tightened. The beast tried to whimper and resist, but before it could, it was dead. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There is a living boy here. His energy seems like an Ethereal Dao Cultivator of Life, but his body is almost as strong as a Transformation type Evolved\'s. How do you think he did it, Grandpa?"

"Wang Ren, that\'s what you call luck."

"Heh, let his Luck heal him then. But he was indeed the best bait, we didn\'t have to lose our suicide soldier because of him."

"This bear is the last Power Born level Beast of our region. The rest will be handled by the others. Come, let\'s head out!"
