Chapter Six Setting Off on the Journey
The moment she saw Aofeng, the beautiful mistress stilled when she looked at this youth who was wearing torn clothing yet gave off pride. This seemed to be a fated encounter.
“You are very welcome. I’ve been worried that Ling’er and Zhu’er do not have any friends. Child, I am Su Ya, you can call me Auntie Su Ya.” Mistress Su Ya imperceptibly moved her gaze away as she said with a light smile. Her warm and harmonious voice, the hand that she reached out to touch Aofeng’s forehead, and her gentle gaze caused Aofeng to feel as through she was soaking in the hot springs.
That calm and peaceful comfort was something she had not experience in decades. In this moment, Aofeng lost focus and murmured, “Mama … …”
Time seemed to stop at this moment. When Aofeng refocused, she found that the people in the surroundings were looking at her with weird gazes. She couldn’t help but feel speechless. She, who was usually calm, had lost focus. This really was … … a great embarra.s.sment … …
Yu Fan was the first to react and said angrily, “What did you call Mistress? You dare … …”
“Alright, so what if I’m called Mama?” Mistress Su Ya glared at Yu Fan but seemed very happy. Her eyes flashed, and she turned to smile at Aofeng. “Child, you miss your mama, did your mama leave you?”
The words touched Aofeng’s mind. She lowered her head, and sighed softly with a dejected expression, “My parents are dead.”
From the last life to this life, she had been an orphan. Aofeng’s coldness was not without cause. This was also why she cared about that big brother that she had never seen before and desired to meet him so badly.
This handsome youth dressed in black robes was in a slight depression as though he had pa.s.sed through many changes. That mature n.o.ble presence was extremely attractive. It didn’t just stir the maternal instincts of all the females in the bar, it also caused many men to show sympathetic expressions.
Mistress Su Ya looked at the “young man” and suddenly had a great urge. She couldn’t help but take a step forward to lightly enclose Aofeng into her embrace. She comforted softly, “Child, if you are willing, then let me be your mother. I will take care of you for your mama for the rest of your life.”
This time, not just Yu Fan, even Su Jian and Roth were shocked and could not stop themselves. “Mistress … …”
“Mama Su Ya, thank you for your good intentions. I am very happy to call you so. However, each person must make their own path. I will create my own way on the continent. At that time, I will find Mama Su Ya to chat and drink tea.” Aofeng had recovered her calm. Knowing Mistress Su Ya’s ident.i.ty, she hugged back and then said at an appropriate time.
Roth and the others sighed in relief. Yu Fan said disdainfully in a small voice, “Just keep boasting!”
Mistress Su Ya gazed at Aofeng’s pitch black eyes as though she felt something, but as though she found nothing at all. She gently touched Aofeng’s forehead and said with a smile, “That’s good, when your matters, then we will be on our way.”
Aofeng raised an eyebrow. “Travelling at night? We will encounter many magic beasts … …”
“Afraid of a few magic beasts, what’s the use in going to gain experience? We are going to hunt and kill magic beasts to strengthen ourselves, if you are afraid, then don’t come.” Yu Fan interrupted her in an unfriendly tone. He looked down on Aofeng’s “cowardice.”
“I’m not. In any case, Uncle Roth is here.” Aofeng smiled faintly but laughed inside. Idiot, you are the true country b.u.mpkin, you never actually investigated the true situation of the Forest of the Neversetting Sun. Soon, you will know how terrifying the forest at night is. She though about how she didn’t dare to move through the outskirts of the Forest of Neversetting Sun even with Liao Ya. Right now, they were going to the true Forest of Neversetting Sun. Even the aura of sacred and spirit beasts was ineffective during the magic beasts’ agitation period. Traps were everywhere, and the wild boars that lived in group in the forest everywhere was a great danger.
“So what if you are a nine-star magic beast or a spirit beast? Are you strong? I’ll gore you to death anyways!” The wild boars of the Forest of Neversetting Sun were so strong!
