Chapter 778: Chapter 610 The Joy of Mother and Child Reunion

Gu Changsheng upon hearing this, immediately rolled his eyes and said.

“Uh… can I get a gentler mom instead?” the little bundle peeked through his fingers with his tiny eyes and asked timidly.

“Clearly, you cannot!” Gu Changsheng ruthlessly rejected his own son’s naïve fantasy!

“Wah… I can! I can! Mommy, please hug me… I really, really miss you…” His own mother being so straightforward, the little bundle had no choice but to pull out his trump card, licking his aggrieved little face, blinking his round chubby eyes, stretching his little arms, and begging in a soft, sticky voice.

“Ah!” Gu Changsheng, seeing this, immediately sighed, stretched out his arms towards him, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, “Come here!”

The next moment, the little bundle’s figure crashed into his own mother’s embrace, holding tightly and rubbing back and forth!

Feeling the little one’s attachment in his arms, Gu Changsheng raised his hand and slowly stroked his little back, began to speak, “Next time, if there is a next time, Yaoyao, don’t be so foolish as to follow others around, without you, your mother’s entire heart was in disarray, utterly lost. Even if someone abducts you, you must not follow them. If you can fight, then fight; if you can’t, then run. Do you understand? Never leave your mother for too long again, understand?”

“Yes!” the little bundle, upon hearing this, immediately nodded his head like a pecking chicken, burying himself in his own mother’s embrace, softly and stickily speaking, “I never want to leave mommy again! Not even for a minute!”

“Mommy won’t leave you either!” Gu Changsheng pulled his son’s little body tight against his chest, spoke haltingly, yet his gaze involuntarily showed a look of loss as he stared into the distance, unless she died…

Under the moonlight, the mother and son, one big, one small, nestled close to each other; not far from them, Little Monk Bu Jie sat cross-legged, murmuring a soft chant…

“Mommy, I waited for you for a very, very long time. My heart hurt from waiting, and you didn’t come to pick me up…”

“Do you have a heart?”

“I do! I do!” the little bundle made a gesture of holding his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng instantly laughed; her eyes filled with affection as she rubbed his little head.

“Mommy, why is only Little Monk following you? Where are the others? Uncle Wood?” the little bundle clung tightly to his own mother’s clothes, not letting go for a second, blinking his big eyes and asking.

“He’s busy with something and has already returned to Great Zhou.” Thinking of Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng’s eyes slightly darkened.

“Oh… I miss Uncle Wood too, so, mommy, where are Peacock, Lion, and Tiger?”

“Not far from us, behind us.”

“And Grandpa Bao?”

“He’s at home.”

“Mommy, I want to go home. This place isn’t fun at all, it’s all mountains everywhere, one mountain connected to another, all just mountains, and I think, I’m getting a bit sick of mountains…” the little bundle pouted his lips, his face sheepish as he rubbed his little legs.

All around were mountains, climbing one only to face another, almost wore his little legs thin…

“If my son dislikes it, then you can stay in the mountains afterwards.” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately spoke without good intentions.

“No! I don’t want to! I want to be with mommy, if mommy is in the mountains then I’ll be in the mountains!” the little bundle immediately spoke.

“Good!” Gu Changsheng smiled, “So, little bundle, tell mommy, how did you become such a troublemaker? You know your mother’s rules, to be strict towards the straightforward, and even stricter towards resistance! Don’t try to change the subject again, I won’t be fooled again!”

“Woo… mommy…” the little bundle upon hearing this, immediately scrunched up his little face, looking even more pitifully at his own mother.

“It’s no use! The cute act has already been pulled by Gao, now it’s your time to be honest. Save the cute for later, we’ll sell it then!” Gu Changsheng, looking at the little child in front of her, raised her hand and flicked his little nose.

Seeing this, the little bundle hummed through his little nose, twirling his little finger, looking up at his own mother, timidly began, “That… mommy, I think I got into a fight…”

“Did you win or lose?” Gu Changsheng cared about this.

“The Dandan bug helped me, I won, I plucked that Old Devout Woman so bald not a single hair remained! Woo…” the little bundle blushed slightly, pouting his lips, “Having someone help doesn’t feel very honorable…”

“You still want to win nobly?” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow, rubbed his little head, and spoke gently, “My son, you need to become strong, strong enough that no matter how fierce the person bullying you is, you don’t need to call for help, strong enough to protect yourself, understand?”

That way, even if she were not there, her little bundle could still live safely and well…

“Okay! I remember! I will diligently practice and listen to Peacock, Lion, and Tiger! I will protect mommy in the future!” the little bundle, upon hearing this, immediately nodded, his face resolute as he spoke.

“Good!” Gu Changsheng smiled with relief.

“That… mommy, I also drugged someone, did it sneakily when they weren’t looking, the method… uh… was a bit despicable…” the little bundle hung his little head, speaking hesitantly as he continued to confess.

His attitude in admitting his fault was quite commendable.

“Since it involves drugging, did you really expect to be upfront and honorable about it? Child, don’t follow those so-called ‘gentlemen’ who appear open and candid; that’s just a trap! Only the smart ones truly enjoy life!” Gu Changsheng said immediately and without any ambiguity.

“Uh… aren’t the smart ones always worried?” Little Meat Bun blinked his big innocent eyes.

“Same thing!” Gu Changsheng grandly waved his hand.

“Oh!” Little Meat Bun instantly put on a taught expression, then hung his head in shame and continued confessing, “Mom, I also stole food from others… Being a thief is not right….”

“Food is the most important thing! That’s not stealing, that’s smart acquiring! Gu Changsheng waved his hand again, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Uh… can ‘smart acquiring’ be used like that?” Little Meat Bun frowned.

“Of course!” Gu Changsheng said with an air of absolute honesty.

“Then I also stole other people’s clothes and blankets…” Little Meat Bun quickly confessed another crime.

“Clothing and food are essential; clothing and food, of course, you can’t lack neither! Smart acquiring means you get the whole set! It’s smart acquiring, not stealing! Got it?” Gu Changsheng, hearing this, glared.

“Uh… okay…” Little Meat Bun twitched the corner of his mouth, resignedly nodded, and started counting on his little fingers., “Then I also smart acquired roast duck, roast chicken, braised pork elbow, steamed pork feet, syrup glazed Chinese yam… ginseng chicken soup, Shou Wu tea, Ice-Chilled Western Honey Water, Qiongjiang Liquor of Mount Li, Clear Lotus Jade Dew, Aged Secret Brew…”

At this point, it was Gu Changsheng’s turn to twitch the corner of his mouth; she narrowed her eyes and took a careful look at her precious son from head to toe and finally realized a fact—Little Monk Bu Jie had not been wrong; her Little Meat Bun indeed hadn’t slimmed down but had gotten plumper!

Thinking about her own past few months of eating poorly and sleeping rough…

Gu Changsheng deeply felt her kidnapped son had lived a life a hundred times more luxurious than hers!

This… this was indeed a world of difference! It was truly infuriating to compare!

“Persian long-staple cotton bedding, heavenly silkworm silk blankets, down quilts… Green jade plates, glazed cups…” Little Meat Bun, oblivious to the increasingly dark expression on his mom’s face, continued counting treasures on his fingers.

Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, it lacked nothing! Just as his mom said, he truly smart acquired the whole set!

“Weihu Mountain, did you smart acquire it too?” After holding back several times, Gu Changsheng finally couldn’t help but interrupt her Little Meat Bun’s chatter.

Damn, this was outright showing off!

Where was this being held as a hostage? This was nothing short of living an emperor’s life, enjoying royal pleasures!

Gu Changsheng had to admit, she was green with envy!

“Uh…” Stunned by her mother’s sudden interruption, Little Meat Bun blinked his big eyes, then shook his little head, “No… there’s no Weihu Mountain here…”

He had heard the story of smart acquiring Weihu Mountain from his mother…

“What if there was?” Gu Changsheng sighed.

“I would definitely do as mom said, smart acquire the whole set!” Little Meat Bun looked up, his eyes shining as he spoke.

“Ah… truly fair!” Gu Changsheng was speechless, her heart aching because she was even worse off than her own son, what a tragedy…

“Mom, don’t be sad! There’s no Weihu Mountain, but I took a Witch Gu Temple!” Seeing his mother’s upset expression, Little Meat Bun carefully spoke up, then lowered his little head, a bit scared.

“What?” Gu Changsheng immediately roared out, grabbed her son’s little ear, and said angrily, “What did you just say you smart acquired?”

She must have heard wrong, right?

The Witch Gu Temple?

The one located in the Six Halls of the Three Palaces and Six Halls of Southern Border, currently controlled by the Xiangka Clan?

She must have heard it wrong!

Gu Changsheng shook her head, refusing to accept this fact!

“Wah… mom, keep your voice down, the Little Monk is here! If he finds out I killed creatures, he’ll definitely scold me! I don’t want to listen to the scriptures, I don’t want to become a monk, I haven’t even married a beautiful wife yet…” Seeing his mom so loud, Little Meat Bun was instantly frightened, hastily tugging at her sleeve, desperately pleading for mercy.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng instantly went pale; after a while, she managed to recover her wits and hesitatingly said, “So, you really wreaked havoc on the Witch Gu Temple?”

“Yes, wah! I kept waiting for you to come fetch me, but you never did. That old witch got more and more irritable, I had to run away, and then, I got caught by her… and then… I used ‘Illusory Sea’…” Little Meat Bun cried as he buried himself in his mom’s arms, crying out, “Wah… mom, so much blood! So much blood! So many people were screaming! I am so scared! Mom! Will they come for me? Will they?”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry! Mom’s here! My son, you couldn’t have escaped the Witch Gu Temple without using ‘Illusory Sea’, you wouldn’t have seen your mom! They are all bad people! All bad people! My son, don’t be afraid!” Gu Changsheng immediately embraced her son, soothing him with her warm voice.
