I Just Want to Live Well but Surpassed the Protagonist – 25 Old Mother

Wu Xue was afraid that the young master would be hungry when he came out of seclusion and wouldn’t be able to find anyone, so she had been staying in the room for more than 20 days. She delivered his three meals a day on time to the entrance of the closed-door cultivation room. Even if Ye Yong didn’t eat, she would change them on time, so even when Ye Yong asked her if there was any noteworthy news recently, she didn’t know, because apart from going to the Ye family’s kitchen, she hadn’t gone out at all and hadn’t talked to anyone.

“Alright.” Ye Yong brought Wu Xue to the pavilion and started making tea, waiting for Qin Shimeng to arrive.

Qin Shimeng hadn’t arrived yet, but Ye Yong’s beautiful old mother, Lin Wei, came first.

“Huh? Did you make this tea, girl?” Lin Wei was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she could naturally tell that this spirit tea was extraordinary. Although it wasn’t particularly extraordinary, it was better than the tea that was usually made , and it was more spiritually potent.

“Young master made it.” Wu Xue didn’t think she was capable enough to make tea. She had to form hand seals to make tea. She didn’t know how to do that.

“Yong’er, when did you learn the way of controlling tea?” Knowing that it was Ye Yong’s handiwork, Lin Wei was very surprised.

“I read a little book and had some insights. I’ve only just gotten started. Mother, don’t think too highly of me.”

“How can I not think highly of you? You’re only 18! At 18, you’ve already mastered the introductory way of controlling tea. That’s much better than some old people.” As a protective mother, in addition to protecting her son, she would be very pleased and happy whenever her son made a little progress, let alone the fact that the way of controlling tea was a very difficult technique to master.

“Since mother likes it, then in the future, I’ll make tea for mother every day.”

Hearing this, Lin Wei was extremely touched. She hugged Ye Yong tightly.

Although she was his old mother, Ye Yong’s soul was still a stranger. Being hugged by her, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. He quickly struggled free. “Mother, I’m already grown up.”

“Even if you’re grown up, you’re still my Yong’er.” Lin Wei didn’t insist on hugging Ye Yong any longer, but she did stroke his head. “There’s no need to make tea for me every day . After all, you won’t be able to stay by my side forever. It’s enough to have this thought.”

When he read novels in the past, Ye Yong had felt that Lin Wei was very annoying. She had always been targeting the protagonist and wished that she would die soon. But looking at it this way, she was just a mother who doted on her child to the extreme. Although it was said that a doting mother spoils her child, Ye Yong wasn’t a spoiled child.

“Before I enter the Tianluo Sect, I’ll still have more than ten days to stay at home. It’s only right that I make tea for mother for more than ten days.”

“You might as well spend that time cultivating in closed-door seclusion. Oh right, what realm are you at now?” Lin Wei discovered that she still couldn’t see through Ye Yong’s cultivation. Was this some kind of advanced breath-holding technique?

Ye Yong didn’t hide it from this protective mother and beautiful old lady. He lifted the shielding array and revealed his cultivation level at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

“Sixth floor of foundation building! My goodness, Yong’er, how long has it been? You actually…” Lin Wei was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

No matter how fast one’s cultivation was, it couldn’t be this fast, right? Besides, Ye Yong didn’t seem to have asked the family for any medicinal pills to assist his cultivation in the past month or so, right?

“Shh.” Ye Yong made a shushing gesture and quickly activated the shielding array again. “Mother, you don’t have to worry about your child anymore. As I said before, I abolished my cultivation only to become better.”

“Yes, yes.” Lin Wei was so excited that she shed tears.

Ye Yong took the handkerchief from Wu Xue and wiped Lin Wei’s tears. “One day, I will definitely transcend the tribulation and become an immortal. When that time comes, I will take Mother to the immortal world.”

It wasn’t that Ye Yong didn’t want to mention his father, but that old man had been in seclusion ever since he had transmigrated here. Moreover, there wasn’t much description of his old man in the novel. It only said that he was a ruthless character who had been in seclusion for 10 years. By the time ‘Ye Yong’ was killed by the protagonist Long Tian, he had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage and left seclusion. However, before he could avenge his son, he was lured into a secret realm by Long Tian and killed. He was truly a father who had no sense of presence, and his role was even less than his old mother’s.

Besides, his old mother was so beautiful and doted on him so much. What was wrong with caring more about his old mother?

“Even if I don’t continue to cultivate now, I already have the qualifications to become a first-rate disciple of the Tianluo Sect. So, can I go to Mother’s place every morning to make tea for you?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lin Wei was so happy that she felt like it was all unreal. Ye Yong’s change was too great, giving her a huge surprise, like a dream.

At this time, Qin Shimeng came. When Lin Wei saw Qin Shimeng, she quickly put away her emotions. She no longer had the previous complaints towards Qin Shimeng, and even felt a little grateful to Qin Shimeng. Perhaps it was because of Qin Shimeng that her Yong’er had changed so much.

“I won’t disturb you young people chatting. I’ll go back first. If you need any resources, just tell me.” Lin Wei didn’t stay any longer and left.

“Why is Auntie crying?” Qin Shimeng didn’t even have time to greet Lin Wei before she left. She was very puzzled and wondered if there was something wrong with Ye Yong’s cultivation.

“Because I thought of something happy.” Ye Yong told the truth.

“Thought of something happy?” Qin Shimeng was only 17 years old, and she had been cultivating most of the time. She had never experienced great joy or sorrow in her life, so naturally, she had never experienced the feeling of being so happy that she cried. Therefore, she didn’t quite believe it. “How is your cultivation now? Can you gather Qi?”

“Of course, it’s no problem.”

“Then have you succeeded in gathering Qi?”

“Of course, I have succeeded.”

“But why don’t you have any cultivation?”

“I practiced a special kind of breath-holding technique. When the day comes for the Tianluo Sect to recruit disciples, you will understand. So, don’t worry about my cultivation.”

“En…” Qin Shimeng nodded. She took out some more perfect medicinal pills that were quite rare. “This is a congratulatory gift from another family for me breaking through to the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. I feel that you might need it, so…”

“Then I thank Miss Qin for her kindness.”

Miss Qin, what a polite address. Qin Shimeng felt a little awkward hearing it, but thinking about it, it was only her who unilaterally regarded Ye Yong as a friend worth associating with. Moreover, since the annulment of the engagement, this was only the third time the two of them had met, so it was indeed not wrong to call her Miss Qin.

Sitting in the pavilion, sipping the spirit tea that Ye Yong had brewed and feeling the rich spiritual energy around her, Qin Shimeng’s mood improved a lot.

In fact, her cultivation had been improving too quickly these days, so fast that she was scared. She had never thought that she would actually be able to reach this level of tranquility with the man she had originally found detestable and annoying.

Perhaps she had been too focused on cultivation in the past and had never thought about making any friends. Now that she had a friend who could chat and drink tea with her, it felt quite good.

“Miss Qin, when are you planning to break through to the Crystallization stage?” Ye Yong was quite concerned about how many spirit crystals Qin Shimeng could produce, because this would determine whether Ye Yong would continue to buy the next stage of items for Qin Shimeng to use.

“I just reached the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage two days ago. No matter what, I will need at least a week to try to break through.” Qin Shimeng didn’t hide it, because the Ice Heart Jade Body Immortal Technique was given to her by Ye Yong. She was able to have her current achievements all thanks to Ye Yong. In a sense, Qin Shimeng trusted Ye Yong more than her family.

Because these days, her people had gone crazy, and the people around her had also gone crazy. They were receiving gifts while giving gifts.

“Remember to put the stone I gave you next to you when you break through.”

“What is the use of that stone?” Qin Shimeng was very curious.

Ye Yong smiled and didn’t answer.
