Chapter 198 Inheritance
Chapter 198 Inheritance
The red Netero appeared silently behind me like a ghost, its huge body hidden in the dark, its sharp beak outlining a chilling evil smile in the dark. It stretched out its huge fist without hesitation, aimed directly at my abdomen, and delivered a fatal blow.
My attention was completely attracted by the fierce battle between Alu and Zebula in the distance. Every move of the two people touched my heartstrings, and I was unaware of the threat lurking behind me.
Until that moment, Red Netero launched a fatal attack. I was suddenly hit hard, and I felt a strong force running through my body, a strong pain spreading rapidly, and a sweet and fishy taste surged in my throat, which was a sign of damage to my internal organs.
My vision started to blur and it was pitch black. I could feel my body's strength draining away. My consciousness gradually faded and I finally fell to the ground powerlessly, falling into a deep coma.
When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a strange and unfamiliar space. There was no noise or danger from the outside world, only peace and tranquility.
I looked around and saw a dazzling array of ingredients on the ground, they were colorful and varied in shape. The ingredients exuded an attractive luster, making people want to explore.
At this moment, my eyes were attracted by a figure squatting in front of the ingredients. The woman exuded a soft white light all over her body, as if she was a fairy from another world. She was gently stroking the ingredients in front of her, and every stroke was full of awe and love.
The woman seemed to have noticed my arrival. She gently turned her head and looked at me tenderly with her clear eyes. Her voice was like the sound of nature, with a hint of joy of reunion after a long separation: "You are finally here, Yue'er."
I stared at the woman in front of me, and an indescribable astonishment surged in my heart. She had long white hair that seemed to flow under the moonlight, gently falling to her waist, shining with a soft and mysterious luster.
The woman's face was also covered by a layer of light white light, and her specific outline was almost invisible, but it gave people a sense of otherworldly and untainted beauty. She was wearing a simple yet elegant white apron, and the whole person seemed to be a holy being from another world, emitting a soft and warm light.
I looked at the woman in front of me carefully, my heart full of doubts and speculations. I finally mustered up the courage and asked tentatively: "You...are you that adult?"
"No...that's not right...you give me a completely different feeling, you are...mom!" Before I finished speaking, my eyes had unconsciously turned red, and my heart was filled with disbelief and excitement.
The woman smiled gently and stood up slowly. Her movements were light and graceful, and her manners revealed an indescribable dignity and elegance.
The woman's lips curled up into a gentle smile, her gentle eyes sparkled with soft light, and her voice was full of love and doting: "Yue'er is really smart, you are right... I am indeed the adult you mentioned, but I am also your mother at the same time."
I was stunned in the place, all my thoughts turned into a blank, and I was completely unresponsive. I never thought that this adult whom I have always admired was actually the mother I missed day and night.
My mother seemed to sense my emotional fluctuations and walked slowly and lightly to me. She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked my cheek. The warmth and familiarity instantly flooded my body: "Yue'er, I have let you wander in a different world alone for a long time. It's really hard for you."
I could no longer hold back my emotions, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. I held my mother's hand tightly, and said with a choked voice, "It's okay... I feel so happy knowing that you are still with me."
I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself, and asked the question in my mind: "I have something to ask you. I want to know about Xiaosong and the Four Heavenly Kings..."
The mother gently lowered her arms, a complicated look appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by a kind smile: "Since you are here, I will tell you the truth! Originally, there was no deep emotional entanglement between Xiaosong and the Four Heavenly Kings, but at the last moment of his life, he finally realized his true feelings for them. Xiaosong came to me for help with this regret and reluctance."
At this point, the corners of the mother's mouth trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress her inner sadness: "At that time, Xiaosong's time was running out, and I told him that he could return to the world of gourmet food through reincarnation. Xiaosong chose this path without hesitation. So, I used most of my strength to help him realize this wish. However, what I never expected was that you would face gender change in another world."
My mother gently stroked my head, her eyes full of love and encouragement: "You have inherited most of my power, which has caused the gourmet cells in your body to evolve rapidly. However, this has also placed a huge burden on your heart. Now, although you have great power, your body is just that of an ordinary person and cannot fully withstand this energy. Fortunately, your emotional connection with the Four Heavenly Kings has alleviated your burden to some extent, and also promoted the improvement of their strength."
I listened to my mother's narration with mixed feelings in my heart. I couldn't help but whisper to myself, "No wonder... Every time I'm with Coco, I can feel his changes. Coco's gourmet cells seem to have become more active, and even his eating luck has improved."
At this point, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, my cheeks slightly reddened due to shyness: "Before... I was still troubled by my gender change, worried that my relationship with the Four Heavenly Kings would become complicated. But now, I understand Xiaosong's wish and accept my own transformation. Regardless of my gender, I will love the Four Heavenly Kings on behalf of Xiaosong."
My mother looked at me with a smile, her eyes sparkling with approval. "I'm really glad that you think this way. You have accepted the Four Heavenly Kings and understand your responsibilities. You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
I nodded firmly, with expectation and determination in my eyes: "I understand. I will take care of the rest of the road for Xiaosong. As for the Four Heavenly Kings, leave it to me!"
Time came when Komatsu was attacked by Red Netero and fell unconscious.
Alu and Zebra's faces instantly lit up with surprise, their eyes fixed on something not far away, only to see crystal tears slowly flowing from the eyes of the Shaloman Sphinx. This scene made the two of them extremely excited, and they cheered almost at the same time: "It's... flowing out! Ahhhh!"
However, this joy did not last long, as it was completely broken by a sudden burst of rapid breathing and a slight sound of falling to the ground. Alu and Zebula's laughter stopped abruptly, and they quickly put away their smiles, with confusion and anxiety written all over their faces.
Alu and Zebula turned around quickly, and the scene in front of them made their faces change suddenly. They saw Xiaosong had fallen to the ground, his face was pale, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury.
The unknown red Netero had stopped and was facing off against Alu and Zebula. Its eyes revealed a kind of indifference and arrogance, and its sharp beak drew a strange arc in the dim light.
