Tianci stared stupidly. He did not expect after running in the other direction, he would be still waylaid.

And that person naturally was Hua Mengshi.

Hua Mengshi smiled grotesquely, looking at the pitiful Tianci. “Hahaha, you think you can run away just because you’re smart? Tsk, tsk. I have kept a sample of your aura! So you can’t run. Tianci, go back with me obediently!”

Tianci retreated one small step, staring coldly and fixedly at Hua Mengshi.

Intuition told him that she was not a good woman.

“Are you trying to kill me or use me?” Tianci asked calmly. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the glow of light from his abdomen. That light had permeated his entire body…

The bright light could frighten away a big tiger. And this woman— he probably did not need to worry about her?

The moment Tianci thought about this, he calmed down a lot, staring at the incessantly sneering Hua Mengshi. He showed no fear in his eyes.

“Tsk, tsk. What a bright child, just like your mom! But of course I won’t kill you. I will use you to coerce your mom. How would I bear to kill you?”

Hua Mengshi smiled.

Tianci’s eyes lit up. “Ah… you know my mom? You are her enemy? Humph, look at your grumpy face… you must be a wicked, despicable backstabber!”

Tianci was excited and worried. So this woman had known him before.

“In other words… I’ve forgotten you and forgotten how my mom looks like… Ah, in that case, someone must have poisoned me!” Tianci finally confirmed this fact.

“Follow me back to the inn, or else… don’t think about running away!”

Hua Mengshi snickered coldly. Actually, she did not know that while she was sleeping like a log, Hua Qiyue and her friends had rented a few rooms in the same inn.

“You are really using me to coerce my mom? Are you trying to drive her to suicide?” Tianci blinked his eyes, staring at the woman sneering coldly before him.

“Miss, don’t continue talking with him. Grab him back first. Xiaohong’s still on the ground. If a wicked man finds her…”

The maidservant was a little anxious. But Tianci turned his head back vigorously and ran off from where he came.

“Seize him!” Hua Mengshi gave a cold bellow. She executed some speed-enhancing footwork to try and grab Tianci!

Tianci was, after all, still a boy. His opponent was Hua Mengshi at the great completeness of Round Sun. In the blink of an eye, Hua Mengshi had grabbed hold of his shirt.

But Tianci was still quite smart. He immediately disrobed himself of his shirt and dashed forward without it.

Hua Mengshi was totally enraged. This brat used to make fun of her. And now again! She hated him so much that she wanted to kill him immediately!

If she weren’t trying to use him to coerce Hua Qiyue, Hua Mengshi would have long acted.

Hua Mengshi launched herself on her tiptoe, her figure shooting forward in a whiz. Soon, she was just behind Tianci. She stretched out her large hand and immediately grabbed Tianci’s hair.

This time, it was not easy for Tianci to run.

“Hiss…” Tianci felt that his scalp was almost about to be torn by that wicked witch behind him. He felt such intense pain that he kept inhaling cold breaths!

“Hahaha… run, stinking brat, little devil… run! Let your mom come and save you! Hua Qiyue, this time it’s your turn to die!” Hua Mengshi started to guffaw complacently. The maidservant behind her sensed someone whizzing in and she began to yell out semiconsciously.

“Be careful, Miss!”

Before her voice faded, a cold, brutal light carrying a murderous aura streaked to her front. When Hua Mengshi opened her eyes, it was already too late to dodge!

She watched with open eyes as that aggressive cold light directly swerved to her wrist.

With a muffled noise, Hua Mengshi gave a hideous shriek. Her one hand had been severed by that brutal light!

Blood spurted out. Tianci was scared stiff, watching stupidly a woman descending from the heaven.

That woman’s countenance was completely cold. Her white robe outshone the brightness of snow. Her features were peerless and ravishing. A powerful, murderous look emanated from her body. Tianci was flabbergasted.

Hey, who was she? Why did he sense a very familiar feeling?

That woman’s gaze slowly fell upon Tianci.

Instantly, the rims of her eyes turned red. Her body shivered incessantly, as if she was struggling to control the pain in her heart.

The woman stretched out her hands and grabbed Tianci’s clothes tightly. “Tianci… Tianci! Is it you? Is it you…?”

Tianci stood there dumbly. Behind him resounded the gruesome shrieks and curses of Hua Mengshi.

Tears welled in Hua Qiyue’s eyes. She caught the stupidly staring Tianci into her bosom. It felt so real. It was no longer a meeting in a dream…. no longer…

She clasped Tianci’s little body in her arms tightly. “Tianci… Mom has finally found you, mom… ”

Hua Qiyue almost broke down. For more than a year, all the pain and longing, wafted along by the warm breeze on the continent, found a sudden release. Tianci was pursing his lips a little. For some reason, he also wanted to have a good cry.

When Hua Mengshi’s maidservant saw this scene, she no longer dared to oppose Hua Qiyue directly. She could only help Hua Mengshi up and run off while Hua Qiyue was still in a daze.

“Tianci… Tianci… I’ve been searching for you so long, so long. Boohoo…”

Hua Qiyue wept as she spoke. But she was afraid of scaring Tianci and could only stifle her sobs. She released Tianci and started examining his eyes and brows.

Recalling the past— Tianci’s smiles, Tianci’s adorableness, Tianci’s cute gestures… he affectionately calling her mom. But right now, he was staring stupidly at her, as if he did not know her.

This infinite, boundless pain almost made Hua Qiyue pass out. Her son didn’t recognize her!

This sort of pain, this sort of despondency, this sort of helplessness— only a mother could understand.

For a whole year and four months, Hua Qiyue missed Tianci so much that she almost went mad. But right now, he could not recognize her…

Tianci also blinked his similarly red eyes. “You… really are mom?”

Hua Qiyue nodded heavily and broke down in sobs.

The words of her son made her tears flow incessantly.

Tianci started. He was happy and joyous. Mom… mom looked so beautiful. She had come the moment he encountered danger. He felt so warm inside!

Tianci stretched out his fair, little hand, wiping way Hua Qiyue’s tears which kept falling down.

So this person before him was really mom. When he examined carefully Hua Qiyue’s face, Tianci really felt that he had seen her somewhere before. She looked so, so familiar!

“Mom, don’t cry, don’t cry… ” Tianci happily shook Hua Qiyue’s hand. When he saw Hua Qiyue cry, he felt like doing the same too.

“Mom, if you continue to cry, you will turn into an ugly hag. Mom!”

Tianci chuckled. Hua Qiyue quenched her tears, smiling at the little fellow before her eyes.

The little fellow had gained quite a lot of height. He was neither fat nor thin. Although perspiration was beading his forehead, she could tell that Yun Shimo and the others had not ill-treated him.

“Tianci, in the future, mom will not let anyone abduct you away!” Hua Qiyue said firmly.

Tianci had been found. Hua Qiyue decided to take him back to Prosperity Inn and not stay.

After all, there was a lot of talk here. Tianci was also here. She needed to protect him from this place of gossips.

Tianci hopped and scampered with a delighted smile on his face. “Mom, why don’t I remember my life with you once?”

Hua Qiyue paused for a while. As expected, Tianci had indeed forgotten her.

Yun Shimo must have fed Tianci with something. That was why he had forgotten.

“It’s alright. You will slowly remember after some time,” Hua Qiyue said quietly. New tears welled out in her eyes.

No matter how much she hated Yun Shimo, she could not bear to destroy his dad’s great image before Tianci.

“Do you like dad?” Hua Qiyue asked in a whisper. Her watery eyes keep observing Tianci intently.

“Yes, I do. Dad and grandma treat me very well. But I don’t like that Princess Qianyang. Dad says she’s my mom, but I don’t believe him. That’s why I sneaked out to search for mom!”

Tianci replied with a smile. Hua Qiyue’s heart felt a twinge. She could not understand why it had caused her so much pain.

After all, a child had run out by himself and encountered Hua Mengshi. If she had not turned up on time, Tianci might have…

“Chirp, chirp…” Suddenly, a noise rang out on Hua Qiyue’s clothing. She had a great fright.

“Man-Hunting Insect, you’re second-rate! You only come after I’ve found my mom!” Tianci pouted his little mouth. Hua Qiyue glanced at her robe sleeve. She saw an insect, all in black, seemingly a little larger than one year ago.

“You’re wrong. I’ve managed to trace your mom. But your mom knows which direction you have gone. I’m too lazy to interrupt her!” The Man-Hunting Insect said lazily.

“Humph, you are just lazy!” Tianci gave a cold snort. The boy and the insect started bickering.

Joyous smiles filled Hua Qiyue’s face. With Tianci with her, even if Yun Shimo did not appear, or had married some other woman— all these no longer mattered for Hua Qiyue.

In her whole life, Tianci was the most important.

However, while they were basking in this happy moment, a tornado suddenly appeared by Tianci’s side. It roared ferociously, sweeping Tianci away. Hua Qiyue’s hands became empty. She stared astonishingly at the high sky!

Someone had snatched Tianci away in a second. What a powerful character!

At the top of the sky, Tianci was struggling and screaming. The man clenching him tightly was dressed in a black robe, wearing a straw hat. One could only see his jaw and mouth and could not see his entire face.

But she was sure it was a man!

“Haha, what an ugly monster. How dare you snatch my son away. Look yourself in the mirror. Look at your sausage lips and cucumber face. Tsk, tsk…”

Hua Qiyue suddenly derided in pointed sarcasm. Her laughter was shrill. In a moment, even Tianci was terrified by Hua Qiyue’s change.

That man in black naturally was infuriated. He raised his head and stared hatefully at Hua Qiyue. At this moment, Hua Qiyue took the opportunity to give a low bellow. “Spirit Summoning Art!”

The man instantly widened his eyes in stunned surprise. He was immobile, staring into Hua Qiyue’s beautiful eyes. It flickered with strong, murderous look, yet seemed as beautiful as a bright moon!

Hua Qiyue gave a cold sneer. This man was far too inexperienced. Trying to seize Tianci? No way!

Hua Qiyue leaped out and shouted, “Put down Tianci!”

The man heard her and was struck by Hua Qiyue’s Spirit Summoning Art. Although he was unwilling to, he confusedly released his hands and Tianci fell from the sky!

Hua Qiyue took the opportunity to fly below Tianci, catching him firmly in her arms.

“Celestial-slaying Finger!” Hua Qiyue gave a cold snort. She had summoned a powerful, aggressive move!

“Pfft!” The Celestial-slaying Finger hit the still dazed man. The man widened his eyes in great shock. He sensed that his arm had been penetrated through. His entire body seemed to be decomposing at a rapid rate!

Suddenly, another person appeared before their eyes. It was a man in black robe, his eyes full of murderous intent.

“Yun Shimo!” The man gave a loud cry. He could only abandon his former plan to seize Tianci. His figure whizzed away and swiftly disappeared!
