Capítulo 44: Mommy is here!!!

In the blink of an eye, the day before the annual sect competition arrived.

During these four days, the routines of Xiao Chen and Tang Jingxue remained unchanged.

Tang Jingxue didn't want to see Xiao Chen first, as she believed that if she met him first, the initiative would be in Xiao Chen's hands.

Therefore, she spent these four days thinking about Xiao Chen and their newfound memories while waiting for their meeting.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen spent his time cultivating by himself, without the help of the system's products.

Although he didn't accomplish anything significant during this time, Xiao Chen could now be said to be fully aware of his combat prowess.

He also found many ways to use the 'Absolute Concealment of Radiant Light', the ability he gained from his physique.

As for Fu Ting, an unexpected thing happened to her.

After witnessing Xiao Chen's pitiful state that night, Fu Ting became very concerned and curious about Xiao Chen's past.

She immediately went to Wu Laoqiang's study and asked him to collect all information related to Xiao Chen without missing even trivial details.

Wu Laoqiang was already tired from spreading rumors around the city because of Xiao Chen's orders.

However, he didn't procrastinate because previously when Fu Ting came to inquire about Xiao Chen, Wu Laoqiang was very aware of Fu Ting's suspicions towards Xiao Chen.

When he saw the look in Fu Ting's eyes now, Wu Laoqiang could sense immense curiosity within her. Moreover, he even detected a hint of worry and concern from her...

However, Wu Laoqiang shook his head and thought inwardly, 'It must be my imagination'.

'No matter how "good" Xiao Chen is, it's nearly impossible to make a woman of Fu Ting's caliber change her mind so quickly.'

A few days later, after going through a handful of hardships, Wu Laoqiang completed his mission.

Fu Ting looked at the information handed by Wu Laoqiang.

She simply threw it back in his face and said with increasingly threatening eyes,

"Waste! You can't even handle a single job properly?"

"Do you think I'm unaware of the information you've given me?" she continued, her tone dripping with disdain.

"Even a mere handyman of the sect would know this much," she added, her frustration evident.

"Or do you take me for a fool? Is that why you provided me with this useless information?"

Hearing the harsh scolding from Fu Ting, Wu Laoqiang didn't hesitate to perform his signature technique.

With a 'plop', he kneeled down and said, his body uncontrollably shaking from the bone-chilling feeling emitted by Fu Ting.

"Great senior, please spare my life and list—"

Before Wu Laoqiang finished speaking, Fu Ting interrupted him.

"Shut up! You and your family really know how to beg for mercy! Get lost before I lose my patience!!"

Hearing these words, Wu Laoqiang wasn't angered and immediately ran out of the study.

Fu Ting was very annoyed that she didn't find a single piece of information regarding Xiao Chen's family or his past.

But from these things, she could conclude that Xiao Chen is definitely not from this lower realm.

'Hmph, useless things who can't do a thing after receiving a favor,' she thought in her mind.

With a deep breath, Fu Ting leaned on the chair and spoke slowly,

'Well, I can only try to find out his past after going to the middle realm'

'After all, this is where the greatest divination family resides alongside that damned woman'

Fu Ting first met her for curing her son's illness, she looked at Fu Ting with a look of pervert.

Fu Ting endured it for the sake of her title

"The Goddess of divination".

However when that woman used divination on her and it didn't work at all.

The two of them had a quarrel whenever they met because of this incident.

"Though in the end, we did become somewhat friendly with each other" she spoke with some nostalgia in voice

"She also told me that I was involved with a variable which couldn't be calculated with divination."

Realizing that she had been away for a while, Fu Ting rose from the luxurious chair, effortlessly opened a space portal, and stepped inside.

Little did Fu Ting know that the "variable" her friend mentioned was actually Xiao Chen, whom she was concerned about right now.

After Xiao Chen finished his cultivation, he returned to his bedroom.

Today, he planned to increase Fu Ting's favorability before getting involved in the annual sect competition.

As for why Xiao Chen hadn't done this for the past few days, it was because even with his good acting skills and the assistance of the Devil Dream Pearl, Fu Ting would ultimately find some flaws in his act sooner or later.

After bathing, Xiao Chen went to his bed after closing every entrance to his room like he did last time.

Fu Ting, who had just transported into the void, saw that Xiao Chen was going to sleep, which he hadn't done for the past few days.

Fu Ting didn't know what she was excited about this matter.Though she reasoned that she should sympathize with him, the excitement didn't fade away.

"Mom, where are you?"

"It's so dark here, please come, mom!"

Just when Fu Ting was about to question her 'unusual action', Xiao Chen's voice echoed, calling for her with a tone of fear.

What Fu Ting didn't realize was that she had already assumed the role of Xiao Chen unknowingly as Xiao Chen only called out "mom."

It was indeed dark as Xiao Chen turned off lamps before he went to bed.

Though Fu Ting could use her divine sense, she opted to use her eyes as she can see clearly in the dark.

As she neared the bed, she noticed that Xiao Chen was standing beside it while his body was shivering and just like before with his 'flame harmony mode'.

When Fu Ting was standing beside Xiao Chen, he didn't seem to realize her.

Seeing this, Fu Ting immediately hugged Xiao Chen and said with a cheerful voice, "Xiao Chen, Mommy is here!"
