Mother, you’ve finally come!
Mother, you’ve finally come!
“Mother, you are my mother!
Why do you say you’re not, have you forgotten me?
I am Little Lingling…” Little Lingling spoke with immediate tears welling up in her eyes, gazing watery-eyed at Mo Jiuli as if daring her to deny it once more, she would burst into tears before her.
Unable to resist, Mo Jiuli rubbed her forehead and asked, “Little Lingling, is it?
Tell me first, why do you say I am your mother?”
“Mother is mother, why what?” Little Lingling replied innocently.
“Little Lingling, I might have forgotten, why don’t you tell me why you are here?” Mo Jiuli pondered for a moment before asking.
“Mother, have you forgotten?
It was you who told me to wait here for you, I’ve been waiting for you for such a long, long time…” Little Lingling looked at Mo Jiuli as she spoke.
I told you to wait for me here?” exclaimed Mo Jiuli.
“Yes, it was Mother who instructed me to wait here, back then… anyway, it was Mother who set me here!” Little Lingling seemed like she wanted to say something else but then changed her tone.
“Jiuli, first let her lead you out of here!” Zi Ye’s voice came through.
“Little Lingling, do you know how to leave this place?” Mo Jiuli, hearing Zi Ye’s words, looked at the little figure before her and asked.
“Mhm, Mother, come up here!” Little Lingling exclaimed joyfully upon hearing this and beckoned Mo Jiuli to come onto the platform.
Although Mo Jiuli was perplexed, she still followed suit and leapt onto the platform where Little Lingling was.
Then, Little Lingling stretched her hand to a corner of the platform and gently pressed it, and a black glow rose all around, enveloping both Mo Jiuli and Little Lingling within…
A rumbling noise ensued, and Mo Jiuli observed their platform slowly ascending.
In her astonishment, it then burst forth with an intense brilliance…
She squinted her eyes shut, and upon opening them again, she could only gaze in shock at the rapidly passing scenery around her.
She actually saw the platform they were on boring upwards like a digging pangolin, piercing from the underground straight to the ground above…
Though unaware of how tough the layers of earth were, before their platform, it seemed as though they were slicing through tofu, unhindered and gently ascending…
Mo Jiuli couldn’t say she wasn’t astounded; she curiously looked at Little Lingling seated beside her and asked, “Little Lingling, what is this?”
“Mother, have you forgotten this too?
This is my Spiritual Platform, oh, and it was you who helped to fix it!
Don’t you remember that as well?” Little Lingling looked at Mo Jiuli with a troubled face, could her mother have lost her memory?
A black thread of sweat slid down Mo Jiuli’s forehead; she could only silently look away, wanting to say she hadn’t forgotten, except she had no idea about any of it at all…
“Mother, have you lost your memory?” Little Lingling tilted her head and asked Mo Jiuli.
“Mmm, yes, I have lost my memory, I don’t remember many things!
How about you tell me about our past, Little Lingling, would that be alright?” Mo Jiuli went along with the little guy’s question and asked.
“Okay, initially when Mother was…” Wenyan, Little Lingling understood why her mother didn’t remember her anymore and thus began to recount for Mo Jiuli a past, which even after hearing, Mo Jiuli still found incomprehensible.
However, from Little Lingling’s telling, Mo Jiuli did gather her identity, the Dark Spirit!
Although Mo Jiuli didn’t entirely grasp what being the Dark Spirit meant, she figured it must be a formidable existence; otherwise, Zi Ye wouldn’t have actively suggested that she form a contract with it…
