Bai Yue's expression was neutral. It didn't carry the same disapproval as earlier when she had seen his cock in full erection. Instead, she gave him an apologetic smile and said, "Well, your mother realized that I might have been a bit too harsh with you earlier. So, I wanted to apologize."
"You have nothing to apologize for, Mom. You were right about everything. It was just that my body is weak and easy to provoke... I couldn't control myself," Wu Yang replied, a bitter smile forming on his face.
Seeing how ashamed he seemed to be, Bai Yue quickly changed the topic and said, "Anyway, I brought your medicine and food. Let me feed them to you. There's also some good news for you."
She placed the food tray in front of him and helped him sit up on his bed before feeding him the medicines. Then, after making sure that he had finished the drink, she began feeding him the food while sitting beside him.
Bai Yue always had a nurturing, motherly nature that was evident in the way she treated him. And now it was shown in how she fed him like a little baby.
However, Wu Yang couldn't help but glance at Bai Yue's cleavage every now and then. His eyes also lingered on her exposed legs that were on full display due to her qipao. The soft, smooth, and supple skin made his mind fill with the thought of running his fingers all over it.
Bai Yue, however, didn't mind it this time. She had expected him to look since earlier and thought of talking to him about it after he had his meal. So, she kept silent for now and fed him without saying anything.
After he finished, she cleaned his mouth with a cloth and smiled at him. "Now that you're done eating, let me tell you the good news I mentioned earlier. Your father is already on his way to Black Wind City. He learned about an auction that will be held there in a few days, and among the items displayed will be a rare pill that could possibly help cure you of your condition. So, don't look so down anymore."
She looked into his eyes and gave him an encouraging smile, hoping that her son would cheer up after hearing such news.
When he heard about the pill that could cure him, Wu Yang was surprised. This was indeed good news! If he were cured, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivating with his mother.
However, before he could celebrate, Su Ling's voice resounded in his mind, 'Heh. Even if you do get this pill, there will be no improvement to your physical body. Do you really think that any pill from this backward lower world could possibly provide the necessary energy to restore both your cultivation and your physical form? Only the Yin Essence accumulated within cultivators can achieve that—and even then, only if they meet the exact requirements I have already mentioned.'
Her tone was clearly mocking and derisive, as though she was certain of what she was saying. And from what Wu Yang had learned of her so far, he was inclined to agree.
'Master, is there truly no hope of finding any other alternatives?' Wu Yang asked in his mind. 'What if there's another source of energy we haven't discovered yet?'
'That's just wishful thinking. You better focus on trying to gain your mother's agreement for dual cultivation. Otherwise, you will continue to remain an invalid for a long time.'
"Yang'er, why aren't you saying anything? Isn't this great news?" Bai Yue asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Her son was silent even after she told him such good news. It made no sense.
"Um... Mom... I actually have something I wanted to talk to you about..." Wu Yang looked at his mother. Then he looked away again, avoiding meeting her eyes.
Bai Yue caught the hesitation in her son's voice and narrowed her eyes. "What is it? Why are you hesitating? Just tell me whatever you want. I promise I'll do my best to help you."
Wu Yang shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Mom... I have already found out the cause of my problem..."
Bai Yue's heart clenched as soon as she heard those words. She couldn't believe it. Her son had found the reason behind his condition. Something that they had failed to discover for a year after he fell ill.
They have even brought over so many experts, renowned for their medical knowledge, hoping that they would find the answer to her son's problem. But all the methods and medicines used didn't prove effective, causing her and her husband to be depressed.
The only thing they could do was to give him medicines that could provide high nutrition to his body. Although his body would absorb any kind of medicinal ingredients given, it would have no effect on his condition. However, as a mother, Bai Yue didn't want to see her child suffering. She would make sure to give him the best she could provide him so that his body wouldn't deteriorate further.
"What? You know what is wrong with you?" Bai Yue was excited as she held onto Wu Yang's hand tightly. "Quickly, tell me! What's the reason behind your condition? And also, do you know how to cure it?"
She hoped to hear her son give her positive news. That he had found a cure. That he would be able to walk again. That he could pursue his cultivation again.
Wu Yang hesitated, not sure if he should tell his mother about it. What if she became furious with what happened to him? It might just make things worse between her and his master...
But seeing how desperate his mother was and hearing how eager she was to find a cure, he couldn't bear to lie to her.
"...The reason behind my condition is that pagoda I mentioned in the past. No. Not the pagoda... but the person inside it. She had her body destroyed and was left inside with nothing but her spiritual form. And in order to heal, she needed someone to use their physical body as a vessel so that she might recover. Since I happened to have the necessary qualifications, she chose me..." Wu Yang explained in one breath before stopping to gauge her reaction.
