Chapter 778 - Master, I Miss You (2/2)

Tang Xiu was keenly aware of the ridicule on Zhenlei Duomo’s face. He just calmly smiled and said, “Now tell me. What do you really wanna do in the future?”

“I want to be the Empress of all the organized crime syndicates in the world,” she replied after taking a deep breath.

Cough, cough…

Her reply had nearly made Tang Xiu choke to death.

She wanted to be a kingpin of organized crime syndicates…?

What was the likelihood of that?

It was very hard for him to imagine that there was cultivator who was supposed to go against the heavens but instead wanted to be the head honcho of a bunch of gangsters… More so that the one who wanted to pursue it… was a woman…

Zhenlei Duomo’s dream truly left Tang Xiu speechless. He didn’t even have the urge to ridicule her. He turned back and went straight to the cabin and waited for the liner to arrive at Jingmen Island. His endeavor on Mist Source Island could be said to have resulted in an abundant harvest. At least he wouldn’t have any troubles in obtaining cultivation resources for quite some time.

It could even be said that he could have a breakthrough to a higher level soon. Moreover, he would definitely be able to go anywhere on Earth unhindered once Gu Yan’er’s strength was restored.

Four in the afternoon.

The passenger liner docked at the shore of JIngmen Island. Right as Tang Xiu walked out of the cabin, he saw Gu Yan’er’s slim and graceful posture on the shore. Donned in a fluttering white dress, she looked like an otherworldly pure female celestial, with her suffocatingly beautiful looks and excited expression.

Whoosh…

A figure instantly flashed behind Tang Xiu lightning fast. In nearly a blink of an eye, Zhenlei Duomo then appeared in front of Gu Yan’er.

“You are…”

Zhenlei Duomo stared at Gu Yan’er with disbelief all over her face. The latter’s otherworldly face had been deeply carved inside her heart, yet it had been two decades and Gu Yan’er’s appearance hadn’t changed in the slightest. She still looked so young and beautiful, leading to an incredulous feeling inside her.

Gu Yan’er’s eyes reluctantly parted from Tang Xiu and then landed on Zhenlei Duomo’s face. She looked slightly stunned, as her eyes then widened and she said with a surprised tone, “You are… Little Duomo?”

Tears flowing on her face, Zhenlei Duomo’s white teeth bit her lower lip, and she replied in a trembling voice, “It’s really you… I’m not dreaming. But you… you’re still looking so young and beautiful.”

With a happy look on her face, Gu Yan’er smilingly replied, “I also didn’t expect that I’d see you again after so many years. You’ve grown up, Little Duomo.”

“You forbade me to come to China previously, I’ve been suppressing myself many many times to come when I wanted to see you again. C-could… could I call you Mother? B-because, you’re my mother in my heart.”

Mother?

Gu Yan’er was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had never married, so how could she have a child? Besides, she had raised too many children; there were hundreds of them. If every one of them were to call her Mother, wouldn’t she become the woman with the most children?

“Just call me Master!”

Gu Yan’er subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiu who was approaching and replied slowly. She could bear a child, but she wanted the child as her own and, most importantly, that child be from him.

Zhenlei Duomo knew well what the meaning of ‘Master’ was, so she didn’t hesitate to kneel before Gu Yan’er and solemnly kowtow thrice, before kneeling again and say, “But you won’t leave me alone anymore again, Master?”

“I had important things to deal with in the past, so I made up an excuse to leave you abroad and still kept you out due to the condition of my body.” Gu Yan’er sighed and said, “But… how did you come back with your Grand Master?”

Grand Master?

“Do you mean… him, Master?” Zhenlei Duomo looked at Tang Xiu, shocked and surprised.

“Don’t be impolite, Little Duomo!” Gu Yan’er immediately rebuked, “He’s my Master and naturally your Grand Master.”

“B-but Master, his age…” replied Zhenlei Duomo with disbelief. “Master, I know my mistake. Greetings, Grand Master.”

Tang Xiu faintly smiled and said, “You wanna ask why I’m so young, eh? Hahaha… I indeed look very young. But take a look at your Master, doesn’t she look very young too? Actually, once cultivators have reached a very high realm, their aging will appear to slow down greatly and they even stay young forever.”

The revelation shocked Zhenlei Duomo. She was a woman, how could she not want to stay young forever? Her expression suddenly glowed.

Gu Yan’er looked at Tang Xiu as they walked together for a few steps. She gently embraced him and said, “Master, Yan’er has been missing you so much.”

Her actions made Tang Xiu somewhat at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry. “Yan’er, we have so many people here looking at us! Even your disciples are here too, you know.”

Gu Yan’er shook her head and gently said, “I’ve been living for thousands of years. What kinds of things have I not experienced? Master has always been the most important in my heart. I miss you, I really miss you. I don’t need to hide it in front of anyone.”
