We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 300: Mother Is Here, Always Here
“Waa waa waa.”
Hearing his own crying, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, discovering that he had truly become an infant.
This left Xiao Mo somewhat at a loss for a moment.
In his previous life experiences, he had at least started from the age of a young child, growing up eating meals from many families but this time, unexpectedly, he was starting from the very beginning.
“Congratulations, Fifth Madam, it’s a young master!”
An old woman’s voice reached Xiao Mo’s ears.
Xiao Mo thought this must be his mother’s midwife.
Soon, Xiao Mo felt himself being placed into a warm basin of water and carefully wiped clean by the other party.
After being washed clean, Xiao Mo was wrapped up by the midwife and held on the bed.
Through his blurry vision, Xiao Mo vaguely saw a woman’s silhouette.
Although he couldn’t see her appearance clearly, that sense of intimacy and trust from their bloodline connection let Xiao Mo know that this was the mother who had given birth to him.
“Let Mother take a good look,” the woman said weakly.
Xiao Mo felt a pair of delicate slender hands carefully caressing his cheeks, as if he were a porcelain doll that she was terribly afraid of breaking.
“Child, I am your mother…”
The woman’s gentle voice brushed against Xiao Mo’s tiny ears.
Xiao Mo felt his mother’s cheek gently nuzzle against him, then kiss him once.
It was a bit ticklish, and Xiao Mo couldn’t help but squirm.
“How is it? Has Ruoxi given birth?”
At this moment, outside the room door came a man’s vigorous voice.
“This old one pays respects to the Prince.”
“This servant pays respects to the Prince.”
The midwife and maid hastily bowed respectfully.
“This concubine pays respects to Master.” The woman named Zhou Ruoxi, having just given birth, wanted to sit up, but was quickly urged by the man, “Ruoxi, you just gave birth. Rest well. There’s no need for formalities.”
“Thank you, Master,” Zhou Ruoxi said weakly.
“Hahaha, come, let this prince see the new son added to our Xiao family!”
Soon, the man’s gaze turned to the newborn child.
The midwife quickly lifted the child from Zhou Ruoxi’s side and handed him to the Prince.
Xiao Mo only felt himself being lifted by the man’s large hands, then vaguely saw this man nod, “Not bad, not bad. Ruoxi, you’ve worked hard. Today, another male heir has been added to our Xiao Manor!”
“Please bestow a name upon the child, Master,” Zhou Ruoxi smiled.
The man thought for a moment and said, “This time when I campaigned, I obtained a jade black qilin. On the way back to the city, I also saw an ink-colored mountain peak, and coincidentally arrived just as the child was born. Since that’s the case, this child shall be called Xiao Mo.”
“Thank you, Master,” Zhou Ruoxi looked at the child with eyes full of motherly love. “I believe Mo’er will surely like this name very much.”
“Alright, Ruoxi, rest well. This prince still has some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” Before long, the man handed the swaddled Xiao Mo back to the midwife.
“Farewell, Master,” A trace of disappointment flashed through Zhou Ruoxi’s eyes, but she seemed already accustomed to it.
“Respectfully sending off the Prince.”
Both the midwife and maid bowed respectfully.
After Prince Xiao left, the midwife told Zhou Ruoxi’s maid some things to pay attention to postpartum, then also departed before long.
Only Zhou Ruoxi, the maid Cuicui, and a small infant remained in the room.
“Madam, don’t be sad. Master is usually busy with government affairs. Now that Madam has borne a male heir for Xiao Manor, surely when Master has leisure time, he will come to see Madam more often.”
Cuicui tried to console her mistress.
“It’s no matter. I’m merely a concubine. That Master came to see me today is already enough. How can I presume to ask for more? In comparison…”
Zhou Ruoxi turned her head to look at the child by her pillow.
“From now on, with Mo’er to keep me company, I won’t be lonely anymore.”
Seeing her mistress’s appearance, Cuicui’s mouth opened slightly, as if she still wanted to say something, but in the end still closed her mouth.
At the same time, as Xiao Mo was sorting through information about this life, the voice of the Book of a Hundred Lives emerged in his mind.
[Host has entered the fifth life of the Book of a Hundred Lives.]
[Qin Kingdom’s Northern Pacification General Xiao Shi campaigned against Zhuang Kingdom, broke through Yunhui City. Yunhui City’s lord surrendered and offered his daughter Zhou Ruoxi to Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi gladly accepted and took Zhou Ruoxi as a concubine.
Three years later, Zhou Ruoxi became pregnant and bore Xiao Shi a son—Xiao Mo (the host).
Although the host is a concubine-born son with low status, the host possesses considerable martial Dao talent. If you cultivate the martial Dao in the future, you may achieve some accomplishments.]
[At this time, the realm has seven great kingdoms and fifteen small kingdoms, in a period of chaos.
But the general trend of the world is that after long division comes unity, and after long unity comes division. At the same time as the host’s birth, Qin Kingdom’s Empress gave birth to a third child.
This child was born in the same year, month, and day as the host. Though she is female, she contains the purest spiritual power of heaven and earth, with an extremely noble fate.
This woman may be able to unify the Ten Thousand Laws Realm and establish the first unified dynasty.
Mission One: Please assist her, helping to conquer other kingdoms. When settling accounts at the end of this life, the more kingdoms the host helps Qin Kingdom conquer, the more generous the rewards. Rewards will be maximized upon unifying the realm.]
[A man born in chaotic times must strengthen himself, taking establishing merit and achievements as his duty! Making his name resound throughout the world as his goal. How can one live an unremarkable life?
Mission Two: The higher the host’s fame in this life, the more generous the rewards upon settlement.]
[The matter of cultivation cannot be neglected, whether it is sword Dao, scholarly Dao, or martial Dao—all are the same.
Mission Three: At the end of this life, the host’s realm will be assessed. The higher the host’s realm, the more generous the rewards.]
The voice of the Book of a Hundred Lives disappeared. Regarding these three missions, Xiao Mo remembered them but didn’t take them to heart for now.
He was currently just a newborn infant. The road ahead was still long. He’d focus on growing up properly first.
Moreover, what made Xiao Mo more emotional was this, when Xiao Mo was on Blue Star, he had grown up in an orphanage. When he became Zhou Kingdom’s emperor and in those few lives in the Book of a Hundred Lives, his mother had long since passed away.
Although Xiao Mo knew the Book of a Hundred Lives was false, this was still his first time experiencing a mother’s love.
“Mo’er, what’s wrong? Have you fallen asleep?”
When Xiao Mo was spacing out, Zhou Ruoxi saw her child motionless and looked very nervous.
“Waa waa waa.”
Xiao Mo cried a few times, his little hands and feet constantly waving, indicating he was fine.
“Sorry, sorry. Mother disturbed your sleep. Shall Mother sing you a song? ‘Mo’er sleep, Mo’er sleep, ink clouds gently grind in autumn waters, evening wind like flute sounds drifting past, coaxing the stars to fall~'”
The young mother gently patted her child while humming a soft lullaby.
Soon, as an infant, Xiao Mo grew more and more drowsy. Before long, he grasped his mother’s index finger and truly fell asleep.
Zhou Ruoxi looked at her child’s sleeping face, feeling how tightly her child grasped her, as if terribly afraid she would leave.
The young mother gently kissed her child’s cheek, her eyes filled with tenderness.
“Mo’er, sleep well, Mo’er, don’t be afraid.”
“Mother is here… always here…”
