Chapter 804: 804
“You are prepared to stay?”
Mo Wen looked at Qin Xiaoyou . After half a month back at home, it was almost time for them to return . He still had many things left unsettled . For him, the Way of Immortals was the number one priority . It concerned the fate of everyone, so he could not possibly stay at home much longer . However, he had not expected Qin Xiaoyou to actually want to stay .
“Mother is at home all on her own . If I don’t stay to keep her company, who will?” Qin Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at Mo Wen .
During their visit, Qin Xiaoyou had already started calling her Mother . Mo Wen’s mother clearly had also accepted Qin Xiaoyou as her daughter-in-law .
Upon hearing this, an indescribable emotion welled up in Mo Wen . He looked deeply at Qin Xiaoyou and softly said, “Xiaoyou, you’ve worked hard . ”
These past few days, Mo Wen had seen everything that Xiaoyou had done .
“How is dealing with my own family matters hard work? Alright, if you have things to do, you can go first . I will stay behind and spend some time with Mother . I’ve already completed the curriculum for the university’s next semester . Later, I will apply for extended leave from the university . If you have time, come home more often . I feel that if you can spend time with Mother, she will certainly be happier,” Qin Xiaoyou said with a smile .
She had made up her mind to stay . It was because she realized that if they both left, Mo Wen’s mother would be left alone . The huge house would be empty . Mother’s character meant that she did not like to approach the neighbors . She would certainly feel very lonely being in the house alone .
“Hmm . I will come back often . ” Mo Wen nodded . His eyes suddenly turned teary, but he had to leave . He would not grow if he stayed in his comfort zone .

“Little Stone, are you planning to leave already?” Mo Wen’s mother came out of the house . She seemed to have heard the conversation between Mo Wen and Qin Xiaoyou .
“Mom, I have to go . ” Mo Wen took a deep breath . He had to leave for the sake of their future .
“Okay . It is good for boys to gain experience in the outside world . You may go . ” Surprisingly, Mo Wen’s mother did not ask him to stay . She merely nodded .
The little fox, Xiang’er, came back with a dash . She seemed to know that Mo Wen was about to leave . She wormed her way into Mo Wen’s embrace, nuzzling against him . Her gaze was full of reluctance .
“Hush now, Xiang’er . I will come back to see you in a while . ” Mo Wen patted Xiang’er’s head and set her on the stone table . Then, he turned around and walked out of the door . He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose the courage to leave .
“Mother, you won’t mind if I stay behind and keep you company, will you?” Qin Xiaoyou asked as she walked up to Mo Wen’s mother’s side and hugged her arm .
As a woman, she could sense that although Mo Wen’s mother appeared indifferent on the surface, she was most likely reluctant inside .
“Why would I mind? With such a good daughter-in-law, I will love it . ” Mo Wen’s mother looked at Qin Xiaoyou with a gaze that was exceptionally gentle . After living together for half a month, she was getting more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers .

The little fox ran out of the house and stood on top of a boulder . She looked at Mo Wen’s silhouette until it completely disappeared, before silently and reluctantly returning to the house .
“Xiaoyou, you are practicing ancient martial arts, aren’t you?” Mo Wen’s mother asked as she led Qin Xiaoyou by the hand and sat down on one side .
“Mother, how did you know?” Qin Xiaoyou looked at Mo Wen’s mother in astonishment . Before this, Mo Wen had instructed her not to let Mo Wen’s mother know that they were practicing martial arts . He had asked her to be more careful so as not to scare Mother .
Mo Wen had just left, and his mother had immediately brought up the matter of ancient martial arts . Could it be that Mo Wen had told her about it?
“I know a lot more than that . ” Mo Wen’s mother smiled . She then changed the subject and commented, “However, you are unsuitable for practicing ancient martial arts . ”
“Mother, I am just simply practicing it . I am certainly no match for Mo Wen . ” Qin Xiaoyou smiled bashfully .
“How can you simply practice with such good talent? If you practice like this, you will never catch up to Little Stone . Tell me, you really want to catch up with Little Stone and even surpass him, don’t you?” Mo Wen’s mother asked with a grin .
“Oh, I have dreamt about it, but I know that there is most likely no chance for this dream to ever come true . ” Qin Xiaoyou’s face was becoming redder . She had always hidden this thought deep inside . Even Mo Wen did not know this ambition of hers . How did Mother know?

“I know that you are competitive . Who says that our Xiaoyou cannot catch up with Little Stone? As long as you find the right master, surpassing Little Stone will be an easy feat . ” Mo Wen’s mother had the look of an approving mother .
“Hmm, I’ll work hard . I’ll surely not disappoint you . ” Qin Xiaoyou put on a smile, yet she felt helpless inside . How did Mother know about this? This was strange . Mother had even asked her to surpass Mo Wen . As Qin Xiaoyou thought, she could not come up with any other response except to giggle at the request .
“Silly girl, even after I have said so, you still don’t believe me, do you? Don’t learn ancient martial arts anymore . Follow me and learn to cultivate immortality . The day that you surpass Little Stone awaits . ”
Mo Wen’s mother had finally stated her intention . For Xiaoyou, who had the Celestial Spirit Body, to not cultivate immortality was pretty much going against the will of the Heavens . Xiaoyou was born to cultivate immortality . No one in this world was more suited to cultivate immortality than her . For her to merely be practicing ancient martial arts was practically a joke .
“Ah!” Qin Xiaoyou stared at Mo Wen’s mother, stunned . She had not expected that Mo Wen’s mother would say such a thing .
“Why? Do you not believe me?”
Mo Wen’s mother smiled and pointed her finger forward . Then, a shocking scene occurred before Xiaoyou’s eyes . The flowers in the garden bloomed and withered, while the plants turned from green to brown . The four seasons shifted in the garden constantly . It was as though time had been fast-forwarded a few million times in front of Xiaoyou’s eyes .
What kind of ability was this? People who practiced ancient martial arts did not have such skills .
“Girl, go out and have a look . ” With a smile, Mo Wen’s mother waved her hand and Qin Xiaoyou disappeared from her original spot . In an instant, she appeared at the front door .
“How is this possible?” Qin Xiaoyou stood at the front entrance . Her eyes were full of disbelief . Chilly winds howled and her clothes fluttered in the wind . She could feel the cold in her bones . She realized that right now, she was standing on the peak of a mountain . She was surrounded by clouds and there were mountain peaks everywhere . However, the peak that she was on was the highest . She had no idea exactly how high up she was now .
The village, the farms, the woods, the orchards… everything that she remembered seeing had disappeared .
On top of the mountain peak, Mo Wen’s house stood alone in the wind, withstanding the wind blowing fiercely .
“The houses that you saw before were all mirages . The village and the villagers were all illusions . However, mirages are no different from the real world . Everything in them operates as they should . The uncles and aunties that you know of, they can all exist or not exist . ”
A silhouette walked out into the courtyard . Her clothes fluttered in the wind . Her beauty was peerless . She stood in the wind like a fairy that lived in the Heaven Palace Hall . Once this woman appeared, the mountain peak was filled with a delicate fragrance . No matter how strong the cold winds were, they could not get rid of the scent .
Qin Xiaoyou looked at the absolute beauty . She recognized her at a glance . She was the mysterious woman that they encountered at the lake previously .
“I am Mo Xiang’er . You can call me Sister Xiang’er . ” Mo Xiang’er smiled radiantly . The world fell quiet and she charmed all beings .
