Shamiran: ”Mother what are you saying, I agree with he had been a fool to chase after those mongrels, but he was a nice person, he helped so many people.”

Nuwa: ”We do not want Ryuu, to become selfless like his previous self, We do not want him to die like Pangu.”

Maheswara: ”Love I understand where you are coming from, I agree in the world of cultivators such kindness and selflessness will lead him to a early grave, but he is still a naïve little boy, let him grow up a little before he is exposed to the real face of cultivators.”

Antariskh: ”Mama you needlessly worry too much, you have seen how his mother is so far she has done a wonderful job of indoctrinating morals in Ryuu, he is coming up fine, as for his naivety I will personally break him.”, she finished with a smirk.

Sylvana:”Oi my sadistic older sister please do not break our baby brother.”

Antariskh: ”Do not worry just trust me.”

Shamiran: ”That is even more worrisome.”

Antariskh had vein pulsing on her forehead, she asked in a sickly sweet tone,”What do you mean Shamiran?”

Celestia intervened, ”Enough, we will have a big day tomorrow so finish your dinner and go to bed.”

”Ok mama”, came the collective reply of their daughters as the elders just smiled at them.

Next day,

Ryuu jolted awake as he remembered the painful experience he went through he was about to cry when he caught the sleeping face of his mother nearby, he quickly latched onto his mother with all his strength and started bawling his eyes out.

Xiao Xiao was awakened from her sleep, only to see Ryuu crying his heart out, holding her like a lifeline.

Xiao Xiao: ”Hush baby, mama is here, she will not let anyone do anything to you.”

Ryuu: ”Mama ~hik~ teacher ~hik~ hurt me ~hik~ they did something to ~hik~ me, it hurt ~hik~ a lot, I was crying ~hik~ but they never stop~hik~”.

Xiao Xiao, rubbed the bridge of her nose, her child was traumatized, because of the operation and now he might never trust or will never want to learn from his masters, ”Ryuu look at me, Ryuu look up”, Ryuu looked up to see his mother looking at him with kind eyes and smile, the face of his mother always calmed him down.”Ryuu, do you trust me”, Ryuu nodded his head” Do you remember how those bad man attacked us and your mama and aunty fought them”

Ryuu nodded, ”Yes mama I remember you aunty were like hiya hay and they were defeated.”, while making motions with his hand.

Xiao Xiao chuckled at his son's antics, ”Well did you think we got that strength with nothing, we had to work very hard for that, if you slack up you will never be able to save your precious people, Ryuu.”

Ryuu was stunned at that but he steeled himself as he asked the most dreaded question to his mother, ”So I have to go through that pain every time.”

Xiao Xiao:”Of course not silly child, that was a special technique used by your teacher to make you more stringer than others, in fact I am jealous of you Ryuu,”

Ryuu tilted his head in a cute manner as his face scrunched up,”Jealous?”

Xiao Xiao: ”The method used by your teacher is very rare, you are lucky to have such a teacher, If I the same technique was used on me when I was young I could have single handedly defeated those bad people, and we wouldn't have been hurt.”
