BXBX NOVEL Chapter 802 - Mother And Daughter
"You… You have changed so much… You must have experienced so many things… It has been hard for you, my child." Cecilia hugged her tightly as she burst out all the emotions in her heart.
"I am sorry for worrying you, Mother." Letizia gently hugged her back.
"It\'s great that you are home now."
"Yes. Though I am afraid I won\'t be able to be here for long." Letizia closed her eyes.
"What?!" Cecilia pushed her back a bit, and her hands moved to her shoulders as if she just heard it wrong. "What do you mean?"
"I am here to settle some businesses for my Rainbow Flower Sect before I need to go to continue my mission. Besides, I am not coming here alone. Master also wants to meet you." Letizia glanced outside, where not a single person to be found.
Alex gradually made his appearance with a smile. "It has been a long time since the last time we met face to face."
"You… You are Alexander Sirius." Not only Cecilia, but the other elders instantly recognized Alex. His name and figure would forever be etched in their memory because he was the hero of the Willow Continent.
However, only a few elders that followed Letizia knew about her being Alex\'s slave. They didn\'t tell anyone about that, so one of the elders suddenly stood up. "Master? Why are you calling him as if you are his slave?"
"Because I am and I have been even before the great war started." Letizia smiled. There was an arrogance behind that smile of her as if she took pride in being someone\'s slave.
And obviously, a few elders couldn\'t endure that. Even though they were indebted to him, this kind of humiliation was something they couldn\'t accept. Besides, Letizia should have been accepted by an influence in the Northern Continent as well, so they obviously couldn\'t swallow such an insult.
"You Bastard!"
"How dare you to—"
"Gah!" Before the second person uttered those words, a scream suddenly echoed in the room, and it turned out to be the scream of the first person.
When everyone looked at her, they were surprised that Letizia already arrived there, clutching that elder\'s neck while emanating killing intent.
"Unlike a few elders that I indebted for taking care of me, you are nothing. And to think someone like you dares to insult my Master." Letizia leaked her Spiritual Energy, creating an overbearing pressure that made other people hard to breathe.
Due to the lack of Spiritual Energy in the continent, they had yet to get used to a massive amount of Spiritual Energy coming to them. Hence, unlike the people from the Heavenly Continent, the people here had a hard time adjusting their breath to this level of Spiritual Energy.
The one who was shocked the most was her mother. The elder aside, she never expected Letizia to release that powerful Spiritual Energy. She had seen peak Martial King level in the past and thought that it was like an ant in front of this aura. In that case, what level has she achieved?
"Argh!" The elder grabbed her hands while looking at her as if she was begging for mercy.
Alex waved his hand, sending his Spiritual Energy to restrain her Spiritual Energy, neutralizing the aura in this hall. "Why are you becoming this bloodthirsty? When I just finally settled down…"
"Ah!" Letizia unconsciously dropped the elder as she looked down with a sad expression. "I am sorry."
"Anyway, let\'s settle what we are coming for."
"Yes." Letizia nodded and looked at the elders while saying with a cold tone. "I hope that the elders can vacate this area. I want to talk with my mother alone."
When Cecilia saw the reluctant looks on their faces, she immediately announced. "Today\'s meeting is over. Those who are still staying here will be punished by me."
Seeing the sect master to personally command them, they gritted their teeth and left the room.
Alex saw the door slowly closed and waved his hand again, creating a Sound Insulation Array.
Letizia looked at her mother, who was still clueless and wondering what to do. "I am sorry for acting like that, Mother."
"It\'s fine." Cecilia shook her head and noticed what Elder Min noticed about Alex. She slowly walked toward Alex before bowing her head. "I thank you for Young Master Alex for taking care of my daughter."
At first, she did this because of his strength, but Cecilia could see how well her daughter is. Alex must take care of her.
Alex didn\'t say anything and helped her up with Spiritual Energy before he looked at the four people behind him. "It will probably take a while."
"Don\'t mind us." Firia shook her head while the others nodded in agreement.
"Mother… Let me introduce them. He is my Master, Alexander Sirius. The others are his wives, Mistress Anna, Mistress Anya, Mistress Firia, and Young Miss Sherry."
A complex thought flashed her mind as soon as she introduced the girls as her wife. And then she realized that Letizia was Alex\'s slave… What kind of slave is she?
Letizia immediately changed the topic because such a thing would be best to tell her privately. "Mother. I am now a Martial Saint."
"Martial Saint?" Cecilia nodded her head before she realized what was wrong. She turned her head and dropped her jaw. "Martial Saint?"
"Yes. As I told you earlier, I have a mission from myself and for myself. I wish to accompany Master on his journey." Letizia put on a genuine smile as she glanced at Alex.
"Journey? Wait! If you are a Martial Saint that wants to accompany someone\'s journey… Doesn\'t that mean…" Cecilia\'s body shook.
"Yes. I am planning to follow him by becoming a God Rank Expert. That\'s why I don\'t know if I can visit you again."
"Don\'t worry. You can. Currently, my power is lacking, but I should be able to create a seal, so you can meet her even when I am not with you in the future," Alex added.
Letizia smiled again, touched by his words. "Well, as my Master said, I think this might be the last time I can meet you before becoming a God Rank Expert. That\'s why I am going to stay here for a while."
"So, you want to talk to me about your plan."
"Yes. Well, in a simple way, I have learned a few things from Elder Min. I am going to pick a few students and teach them for a brief moment. They will be the backbone of our sect, so even if I am not here, the sect will stay just fine."
"What?! You are going to teach them?"
"Yes. There are a few limitations on what I can teach, but I am sure they can reach 10-Star Martial Lord if not Martial King." She nodded. "Of course, I won\'t power them up just like that because it will disrupt the balance and endanger the continent. Everything will be left to Mother\'s future guidance."
"…" Cecilia didn\'t know whether to be happy or not. On one hand, she finally saw the light to the biggest problem they had. The fact that the sect didn\'t have an heir made them troubled, so they were planning to search for more disciples to compete and become the heir to succeed Cecilia. On the other hand, seeing her like this, as if she wouldn\'t be able to come back, simply saddened her.
Letizia would be the best option, but when she learned she already reached Martial Saint and wanted to accompany Alex, it wasn\'t possible to ask her. Besides, it also wasn\'t possible to ask her to bring the disciples to the Northern Continent.
They were too weak and probably got bullied. If there were someone coming from the Heavenly Continent, they would probably get destroyed before they could even rise.
Hence, this course was the best for her and the sect. As much as she wanted her child to stay, she needed to let her soar in the sky.
"I understand." These were the two words that she was able to speak in her current state. Suddenly, she looked at Alex with a solemn expression before she kneeled. "There is nothing more important for a mother than her child. After watching her grow up, I can finally see her doing what she wishes to do from the bottom of her heart.
"Even if it\'s something that I have a hard time to swallow, I believe this is the best for her. Before, she only thought about the sect and would sacrifice everything, even herself for the sect, but this time I could see she truly meant it.
"That\'s why I, her mother, want to thank you. I don\'t know her reason to do this, but I believe that you are not someone who will mistreat her. That\'s why I beg you to take care of my daughter, Letizia."
This was something that couldn\'t be described by a simple word. The fact that the proud woman from the Willow Continent kneeled and begged Alex must take a lot of determination as well as love for her daughter.
"Mother…" Letizia couldn\'t help but tear up. Every memory about her mother flashed in her mind as she thought, \'Mother… Daughter is unfilial.\'
Alex helped her up again and said with a serious expression. "I always take care of my people. She is one of them, so you don\'t need to worry. There are many dangerous things that will come into my way, Letizia has known about it.
"Well, there are many stories that your daughter brings, so I doubt you will get a wink for cultivation or sleep tonight. Anyway, I will just leave it to Letizia." Alex paused for a moment. Letizia indeed had many stories as to how she was brought to the Heavenly Continent and became a peerless expert. And how they betrayed her and the fact that her status as Alex\'s slave actually saved her. And how she took revenge on those who bullied her. She indeed had a lot to tell.
Hence, Alex decided to part way with Letizia and enjoyed his honeymoon. Before that, he added one more thing. "Anyway, I can\'t promise you that she will be fine, but I can promise you that as long as she is with me, she won\'t be mistreated."
Cecilia opened her mouth in surprise before she bowed her head. "That is enough."
When he was about to leave the room, he suddenly halted her step. He didn\'t know why but watching how Cecilia acted really brought unease in his heart. It wasn\'t unease because she was suspicious or acting. Instead, it was more like jealousy.
\'A mother huh… I wonder what I will do when I reach God Stage… Will I go back to Earth and meet my Family? If only my family is like her… I will probably bring them here or visit them from time to time. Unfortunately, it\'s not the case. And I also have my own family now, my Spirit Nest.\' Alex thought for a moment.
Taking another glimpse of both of them, he couldn\'t help but smile before sending a thought transmission to Letizia. \'There are infinite possibilities when you reach God Stage. I don\'t know if I will help you or not, but there is a chance for you to bring your Mother with you and take care of her.
\'After all, her case is like Stina. If you work hard in the future, saving up and doing many things, I believe you can save enough money to forcefully increase your mother\'s cultivation to God Stage. At that time, you can accompany her and vice versa to the end of the time.
\'Of course, I will help you, but my ability is also limited. That\'s why you need to work hard and make your mother proud.\'
Letizia\'s body shook. It was impossible to do it because her mother was very dutiful, but there would be a chance if someone replaced her as the next master of the Rainbow Flower Sect.
At that time, she might be able to succeed in persuading her. And no matter how small the chance of becoming the second Stina, she believed she could do it in the future. For Alex, who gave this opportunity… Letizia bowed like her mother, seeing off Alex, who gradually disappeared together with his girls.
