Chapter 814 Are you happy?
Chapter 814 Are you happy?
"Yan Yan, what kind of man do you like?"
"Someone like you, who is exceptionally beautiful and sexy, with a V-shaped waist and captivating eyes, makes me want to die on top of you just by looking at you.
"Hehe~ Yan Yan isn't telling the truth. But if the teleportation array in this world doesn't work, maybe your lie will become the truth!"
"..." Su Yan turned and left, "I'm carrying two babies in my belly, I have to give birth to them before I can go with you."
"It's too late, Yan Yan~" Jian smiled enchantingly.
The world teleportation array locked onto Su Yan and Jian, and a blinding golden light burst forth... Su Yan instinctively transformed back into a lab rat.
She felt waves of dizziness and extreme discomfort. In her dazed state, she heard Jian's voice—
"Yan Yan, do you like me?"
"I like you my foot!"
Su Yan shouted with all her might.
He told her she was pregnant with twins and still made her take the risk. Whoever wants this kind of man should take him; she'd have to pay him off!
……
[Host, wake up.] Xiao Mei's voice rang out.
Su Yan slowly opened her eyes and found herself inside a submarine. Without a doubt, Xiao Mei had helped her.
[No man is reliable, only my Xiaomei can do it!] She transformed back into human form and stretched.
Xiao Mei chuckled twice. [If the host says that, Xiao Mei will think the host has fallen in love with Xiao Mei.]
"I love you! I really, really love you!" Su Yan said without reservation.
[Xiao Mei also loves her host very much.] Xiao Mei's voice became especially sweet.
Su Yan's eyes sparkled...
Where are we?
[System World, a plane world within a sixth-level civilization.]
Su Yan: […This world's teleportation array is amazing; it actually took me directly to the system world. What about Jian?]
Xiao Mei replied: "I don't know. I scanned this dimension and didn't see him. I did find Xiao Ba, though."
"Who are you talking about?" Su Yan asked in surprise.
"Xiao Ba, does the host want to summon him?" Xiao Mei asked.
Su Yan replied: 【Of course.】
Soon, a golden cub appeared in the system space.
Little Eight blinked, looked around at the familiar system space, and immediately called out happily, "Mother—"
"Mmm." Su Yan moved him out of the room, hugged him, and kissed him repeatedly. "Did you miss your mother? You've been having so much fun outside, you haven't even come home to visit. Where's Hengzu?"
“Master and Uncle-Master are comprehending the Dao under the World Tree,” Xiao Ba replied.
"The World Tree?" Su Yan asked in surprise. [Xiao Mei, where is the World Tree?]
[Host, this world consists of only one island, on which stands a gigantic World Tree.]
Can we teleport there?
[Yes, host. There's another situation: Wang discovered us and sent a message requesting the transfer of fetal data.]
Okay, but I don't want to see him.
[Yes, host, Xiaomei understands what to do.]
[The King is very satisfied with Xiao Nan Nan's current developmental data. Also, Jian is currently a guest of the King; if the host wishes to see him, they can go to Hengxing to meet him.]
[...] Su Yan silently cursed Jian's ancestors in her heart! But considering that Jian was the first generation, it was all for naught!
……
The lush World Tree takes root in the seabed.
On one side is rolling lava, and on the other side is dark, cold seawater, continuously supplying energy to the tree canopy.
Holding Xiao Ba, Su Yan piloted the submarine to the surface of the sea and was immediately awestruck by the trees overhead.
It's even larger than the World Tree in the Beast World, with no end in sight.
There were some birds and animals in the tree canopy, flying or leaping freely, looking carefree.
She emerged from the submarine carrying Xiao Ba and used her accumulated energy to teleport to a tree branch.
From a distance, the tree branch looked no thicker than an arm, but once you stood on it, you found it was more than a meter wide, wide enough to run on.
She transformed into a mouse and jumped onto Xiao Ba's back, saying, "Son, take your mother to Hengzu's place."
"Mmm." Xiao Ba carried Su Yan on his back, leaping nimbly among the branches. Su Yan lay on his back, perfectly steady.
"Son, do you want to come back with your mother? Your father misses you terribly." Although Ziqi didn't say it, Xiao Ba was his eldest son and the one to whom he had poured the most fatherly love.
Xiao Ba replied, "If we return to the Beast World, I will go back to see my father."
"Good boy." Su Yan took out a small storage bag from the system space and hung it around his neck.
"Mother, are you happy?" Xiao Ba suddenly asked.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hachi leaped faster and faster among the World Trees, like the wind. Su Yan, however, felt no discomfort whatsoever from the wind rushing against her face.
“Mother has always lived for the sake of survival, locking her true soul in a cage and losing the key. Xiao Ba wants to see Mother truly happy, instead of living for the rules and forcing herself to stay happy.”
Su Yan fell silent.
Xiao Ba's talent lies in the soul-based system of fate rules; perhaps she saw a glimpse of herself buried deep within her soul...
Looking at her now, she has so many handsome men surrounding her. Her children are all exceptionally gifted, with immeasurable future potential.
But are you happy?
I never expected that it would be Xiao Ba who asked this question. He's a son who has been in an eggshell since birth, and was separated from his mother the moment he hatched.
"Mother is so happy right now!" Su Yan lay on Xiao Ba's back, listening to his even, steady, and strong heartbeat, her heart swelled with joy.
"The soul you see is your mother from a very, very long time ago. Back then, your mother did indeed compromise with certain rules in order to survive."
Now, Mother... still lives by the rules. Because, in any world, it's the same: without rules, people cannot stand; without rules, families cannot thrive; and without rules, the world will descend into chaos.
Having rules isn't a bad thing; having boundaries actually allows for more freedom.
"I understand, son." Xiao Ba turned around and licked Su Yan's cheek. "Mother, I hope you will be happy from now on."
"Ah."
The only thing that can stop her is herself, and that "her" has already been sentenced to life imprisonment, never to be released.
When Hengzu saw Su Yan, he wasn't surprised. And he was also about to leave this world.
"The teleportation array's point is the seabed where Xiao Yan appeared. Xiao Ba and I will return to the Beast World from there," Heng Zu said to Su Yan with a smile, stroking his white beard.
Su Yan suddenly realized, "You had Jian build the world teleportation array because you had been planning to leave through it all along? Or rather, the place the world teleportation array would take you to is where you are now?"
“That’s right.” Hengzu nodded and smiled. “Xiao Yan must have her own things to do, right?”
“Yes, Jian has become a hostage, I have to go and get him,” Su Yan sighed.
Hengzu smiled and said, "Fate is a mystery. Result is just right. Xiaoyan should just let nature take its course."
"I have learned a lot from you." Su Yan looked at Xiao Ba with reluctance. "When you return to the Beast World, remember to visit your brothers and sisters at the Divine Beast University, and also visit your father in the Eastern Immortal Realm."
"Yes, Mother." Little Eight threw itself into Su Yan's arms to please her.
Su Yan hugged her son tightly, "It's so hard to see you again, I really can't bear to part with you."
