Chapter 124 - 122. His Tenderness III (1/2)
Third person POV
Morning*
Di Shang sat with his back straight, in front of him was his respectable mother, Naran. Her skin's golden tan with blonde hair, it was indeed a rare hair color considering black hair as the common hair color everywhere. She was believed as the Daughter of Sheng Huo ( God of fire ) because of her blonde hair. But what makes her to get that title was her absolute control in fire element, even though she only has one element magic which is common, she's considerably strong among multi element mages.
Naran: ” What is it? Ya face is so serious.” ( A/N: They are talking in their dialect.)
Naran asked whilst drinking liquor directly from the bottle, to be precise, it was the liquor that Hong er gave them. Di Shang didn't mind his mother conduct as most of the women in their tribe were wild, opposite of the women in general. The women in their tribe likes to hunt, horse ride, fight, and drink alcohol because their ancestor hoped that the women could always help and accompany their husband no matter what, when, and where.
If their husband's going to war, they would follow him and fight alongside their husband. But there was a rule, the husband could only have one wife. If the husband wanted to have another woman in his house, he has to divorce his current wife whilst respecting her opinion and after his current wife left his house then he could bring the other woman into his house. If the husband broke this rule, the wife could sue her husband or do whatever she wanted to him. Because there was this motto in their tribe.
” Wife risked her life in the battle for her husband. Husband must dedicate his life only for his wife. If not, he deserve a divine punishment.”
Which resulted Di Yu ( Di Shang's father ) to only had Naran as his wife and he didn't want to change that as he was very satisfied with his wife. She gave whatever he wanted, children, family, love, and her life for him. They were very compatible with each other, they like to drink alcohol and they have same taste in alcohol, whenever he was bored, she would gladly be his sparring partner or they would go hunting and riding horse across mountains. She's the best wife he could ever ask for.
But recently Naran was dissatisfied with her eldest son, she had tried to make his son to go on blind date but he politely rejected her. She really wants to have grandkids and teach them horse riding because children shouldn't drink alcohol. Furthermore, her son's already 25 years old, it was time for him to find a wife and make some babies.
Di Shang: ” Mother, I wanted to ask for your guidance.”
Naran: ” What is it?”
She lazily asked him, she was very disappointed with this son of her, although she was happy that he inherited his father's demeanor but his father married her when he was 21 years old and he was very wild in bed. She smiled at the memories of their first night, her husband indeed was a great warrior in battle as well as in bed.
Di Shang: ” There is a woman-”
Hearing a ”woman” word, Naran immediately stood up and slammed down her liquor on the table.
Naran: ” Di-did you just say 'woman'? My son? My eldest son?”
Di Shang: ” Yes, mother. Your eldest son did just say ' woman'. Mother, please listen to me until the end.”
Naran smiled widely and sat back down with her eyes filled with sparkles.
Naran: ” Yes yes, I am listening. Go on my son.”
Di Shang sighed, he knew that his mother was very eager of him to marry and have a few grandkids. He didn't want his mother to be disappointed after listening to his story.
Di Shang: ” There is this woman that I saved last night. She was attacked by a group of assassins near the border where I am commanding.”
Naran: ” Oh no~”
Naran quickly shut her mouth when Di Shang glanced at her.
Di Shang: ” And now she's resting at my residence.”
Naran's smile got wider.
Di Shang: ” She is Miss Xu's personal bodyguard and she is very strong for someone as small as her.”
Naran enthusiastically nodded her head.
Di Shang: ” The main problem is whenever I saw her, it feels like everything stopped for awhile. I don't know why but I lost my composure when I am around her.”
Naran: ” Like what~”
Naran grinned and her eyebrows were wriggling up and down.
Di Shang: ” Like how I'm always worried about her, she is very clumsy and frequently fell down, my body reacted first before my brain could process. And…”
Naran: ” And~”
