My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

In the midst of a forest, the symphony of wildlife blended harmoniously with the whispering leaves. A river wound its way through this emerald expanse, babbling and frolicking until it arrived at a profound brink. This was the crest of the waterfall, where the water momentarily gathered itself, hovering at the precipice as if contemplating the fall.

The descent was nothing short of spectacular.

Water tumbled through the ether, droplets capturing the sun's rays and casting rainbows into the mist. The cascade descended with a grace and force that belied the calm journey it had taken thus far. It crashed onto the rocks below, worn smooth by countless years of relentless outpourings. It was a wondrous sight.

Underneath the waterfall was a small river.

Yue Li floated above the surface skillfully, looking at the sky in the early morning. Her legs waved in the water, and she swam in circles, her mind calm and serene.

Thinking of the past few days, all she could remember were bloodshed and chaos. At first, she and Xiao Li moved out of the city after Liyue's wedding was interrupted in the middle by some kind of incident—she was happy she could travel with Xiao Li.

He was also very sweet, as usual.

But regardless, when they were inside an Elephant Statue, he killed someone. He was strong, she knew it, but his killing someone had made her startled. Then, one thing after the other happened: the world was devoured by red mist, and they floated into the sky.

They entered the Demon World.

Then, it was one fight before the other till they found the white-haired girl, Ruo. Then, they hid in a cave and rested till Xiao Li moved out just before they entered the Trials and he must have killed more.

A monk had appeared in front of her and called him a Demon—

She dipped her head into the water and swam underneath for a while…

—After that, they entered the trials.

The trials were very fun. There were also rewards, so it was doubly fun.

The first trial was a test of enduring pain by touching a fire. Xiao Li won it easily, and she even got the chance to taste the pain at the last moment. Uh, it was horrendous. They got 3000 Neutral Dao Crystals as a reward for it.

Then, a lot of things happened; in the second trial, they had great sex. He was quite rough, unlike his usual sweet self. They got some kind of recipe for winning that trial if she remembered correctly.

After that, they fought animals who were statues that transformed into living, breathing animals. Xiao Li forced her into the ring and made her fight them. She was literally shivering. So afraid. And the bastard didn't even help her until she started killing them.

She floated back out to the surface. It was still just the break of the morning, and the chill in the air was quite powerful. She spat out some water.

The waterfall was so mighty.

She thought of the last Trial they were a part of. At first, Han Li fought a monk-like fast person but won in the end due to his unholy stamina but then, Li Shuanwei came out of hiding. She felt guilty at the thought.

Maybe if she hadn't interrupted her son due to her weakness… he might have defeated Li Shuanwei and gotten that tree. She knew that was a wondrous thing. He really seemed to have wanted it.

Really, she had lost her hand in a fight Xiao Li had with that Li Shuanwei guy from their own village. She couldn't help but sigh, yet right after, she smiled. A hand wrapped around her legs and pulled her into the water. She took a deep breath just before she was entirely pulled in.

A youth looked at her through the clear water, his eyes calm. A voice transmission entered her mind, "Does it hurt? Your hand."

She shook her head.

He unceremoniously wrapped his hand around her waist and pressed her to himself.

"It's my incompetence that made you hurt," he pressed his forehead against hers. "Don't think too much of anything; let's go; you are now clean of all the blood and everything. It's time to bring the girls out."

They swam back and soon jumped into the river bank. Han Li gave her a hand, and she didn't put her wet feet on the mud; instead, she stood atop his feet. In a simple, quick movement, he shifted her to his back, and she wrapped her hand around his neck. She was only wearing her undergarments, and he was naked.

Calmly looking at the top of the waterfall, Han Li shouted, "Help us raise Hua Yu!"

Yawning, a woman parted the waterfall like a curtain using only her soul sense and revealed a cave behind. Then, using the same thing, she helped Han Li and Yue Li fly into the cave. They entered the cave, and the waterfall returned to normal.

Han Li washed his dirty foot in the mighty fall and entered the cave. A lantern made the cave bright. Hua Yu threw Yue Li a white robe and Han Li a dark robe.

Unlike Han Li himself, a Power Born could put anything that was equal or lesser to the maximum distance their Soul Sense could stretch into their Empty Space. Which was far more than enough to carry things like clothes or similar. Whereas, Han Li could only fit things of palm size for now.

Of course, his Mother's Empty Space had even more space than the Power Born herself, but that was temporary. She would lose the power to put life forms into her Empty Space in merely four more days.

With a smile, Yue Li rubbed the back of her head and quickly got dressed. She didn't really know this woman yet but had seen her earlier when she woke up. She had to question him later.

Han Li also quickly got dressed. Then, he asked, "Did you get the pigeon?"

Hua Yu calmly nodded. She didn't really have to do whatever he asked for and only had to protect him, but she didn't mind helping him since he was indeed helping her grow stronger. She showed him a calm pigeon lying in a nest on the rugged walls of the cave.

He nodded. He could feed it a Wind Dao resource, and it would deliver his letter of challenge to Yang Wei, not exactly to the man but to the Bone Clan City. If it reached there, Yang Wei should get it one way or the other.

Han Li took a towel and dried his mom's wet hair with it as he said, "Bring them out." She closed her eyes, and one by one, the cavern started to fill up with unconscious women.

Hua Yu clicked her tongue in amazement.
