My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 23: Recovery

Yue Li followed Han Li's hand with her gaze as it effortlessly drew something complex on the ground using chalk.

She could see he was drawing a pattern, but she couldn't quite figure out what he was planning.

After their lovely first kiss, he suddenly asked her for a chalk and she had given him what she had.

But he didn't tell her why, he had just started drawing on their room's wooden floor.

So she scrutinized him.

He was so focused on drawing it, why?

Why does he seem more mature all of a sudden in these past few days?

Was it really because she let him do that?

She was deep in thoughts about the great dao when Han Li suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts.

He wiped some sweat away from his forehead and said, "Mom, it is ready, come here."

Yue Li asked curiously, "What is this drawing?"

And why did the drawing seem to be dimly shining?

"Drawing?" Han Li took her by the hand and placed it on the 'Dead's Return Diagram' and muttered: "Only ignorant people like you would dare to call this thing a drawing."

Feeling the slight coldness on her hand, she questioned, "What is it then? some kind of formation or array or something?"

It seems he had something prepared when he said he could heal her.

"It is a masterpiece, created by none other than one of the seven sacred demons."

"One of those people again?" Yue Li couldn't help but exclaim. She had heard of them so much after coming to this world; they were like the gods of her past life and everyone was like their believers.

But she could understand though, they must be hella strong, actually like Gods or something.

"Yeah, one of those seven mighty demons."

"Which one?"

"Who cares about that, just know that this thing is good."

Yue Li then confusedly asked, "Where did you get it then?"

Han Li said without giving her a chance to speak, "Eat the pearl I gave you."

Yue Li took the stone he gave her earlier, 'Why does he call it a pearl?'

"Eat it."

She opened her mouth and ate it.

Han Li put a hand above her hand and muttered meaningless jibberish for a while before concluding it with, "...I, the inheritor of Ancient Lust and the wielder of one of the seven Sacred Eyes ask for the unknown dimension to open for a split second."

Yue Li looked at his quirky actions weirdly and waited.

"Mom, just wait, the rest is up to luck... even the system can't help us here."

Yue Li nodded weirdly.

'Well...'

Yue Li waited patiently, she had no lack of patience.

While, Han Li moved some distance away from her and silently hoped for good luck.

This Diagram was something that he had adventured with his life to get in the last parts of his past life.

It was a fight that cemented his name as the Era's Greatest Demon — Red-Eyed Han Li.

It was a Sacred Level object in worth, but he would never put it out in the open other than in his head and now.

It was too dangerous if the world knew all the treasures he had.

Moreover, the chance was only a split second long, so it was practically up to luck, even the system won't be able to affect nature in such ways.

He was sure about that.

...

Yue Li's hands started to turn colder and colder.

But she could feel the coldness being constantly absorbed by her belly.

Even someone as dumb as her could guess it was due to the stone she swallowed.

Suddenly, the world around her changed to something utterly red for a brief second before it returned to calmness.

And the coldness had vanished!

Even the diagram had vanished from below her hands.

"Wha..What is going on?" She exclaimed.

"Check the system for your talent, does your cultivation talent show something?" Han Li asked as he came closer.

Yue Li turned on her golden-colored system and looked at it.

[Body Cultivation Talent: Average.]

[Soul Cultivation Talent: Average.]

Han Li relievedly smiled but his red eyes then shined deeply.

He said with a stern tone, "Mom, immediately go through your three Awakenings one by one."

Yue Li was a bit overwhelmed at the moment and didn't question him, she immediately focused.

As long as someone's Spark was as strong as an average 13-year-old's, they could go through the first Awakening.

She tried to focus on her Spark and immediately, a Dark Blue spark came to her senses.

'Dark Blue? wasn't Starlight Spark white?'

It was a finger length wide, just as wide as Han Li's current Lust Spark.

Both of them were of Average talent for their Cultivation Stage.

She focused on it intensely and the Spark tried to come out of her body.

It was as if it was hidden behind invisible barriers and she could potently feel them at the moment, and right after it came out of the first barrier.

Her senses grew clear.

The sound of distant chattering outside, the sound of insects, the sound of birds.

Everything was so clear, she felt as if she was reborn.

"Don't stop Mom, go through the rest!" Han Li said with a monstrous grin and a terrorizing voice.

Yue Li heeded even though the euphoria of suddenly enhanced senses hadn't vanished.

She once again focused on her Spark and it automatically tried to come out of her body.

Another invisible barrier was crossed.

And her senses again grew clearer. She could now understand what the chatter outside was.

"I heard the best position for sex is being under a man!"

"That's true, but you are a man, don't you feel disgusted?"

"Aren't you a man too my dear?"

...

Han Li saw her weird expression and said, guessing, "Such things are normal, people would gossip about everything, don't mind them and just focus on your Awakening."

Yue Li rolled her eyes at him but did what he told.

Han Li looked at her in intrigue, what spark did she get in the end?

Her Spark passed the third and final barrier and she held her palm infront.

A dark blue fire the size of a baby's fist lit up above her hand.

Her third Awakening had succeeded.

Han Li looked at it closely.

'Dark Blue?'

Hmm... that's quite a nice start!

And Yue Li could feel her senses expanding out of her body, 'Hmm...how I missed this feeling!'

It felt as if she could see the whole room they were in from all angles. Even though it was exhausting, it was a good feeling.

"But why is this flame so ugly and why is it so small?" Yue Li asked.

It was thrice as big when her Starlight Spark awakened for the third time. And that looked so beautiful too.

And this? Ew... Dark and blue and, not at all her style!

Han Li though, only had that monstrous smirk return. "Damn me if I can't give you twice that foundation!"

"Finger yourself with that hand."

She frowned but put her hands into her clothes, she was too into the process to deny.

And the moment she put it in, the flames automatically entered her vagina and immediately started to burn her own soul energy trapped inside.

And in minutes, all her past misfortune, the failed Evolution's consequence – the chaotic soul energy – was absorbed into the flame.

She immediately felt a weight removed from her back.

Then she glanced at her flame, it had grown to two baby fist size.

But it was still ugly.

"Look at your System, Mom!" Han Li laughed out loud.

[Soul Cultivation Talent: High.]

[Body Cultivation Talent: Average.]

"Wow, it grew Xiao Li!"

"It is far from over! How can that talent be enough for the Greatest of an Era's mother?"

This was the only chance for her to gain talent, if he didn't get her the best, he would be stupid!

The Energy Extraction Pearl inside her stomach — which looked like an actual pearl filled with energy now instead of a dull stone — got digested and the energy that it had absorbed in the split second the Diagram worked traveled into Yue Li's body.

Her Spark burned much brighter and her hair turned the color of crimson from the roots.

She tiredly glanced at the system.

Too many twists you idiot. She was tired!

[Soul Cultivation Talent: Sacred]

[Body Cultivation Talent: Sacred]

The legendary talent which only appears when both of the talents are "High". [Sacred]

Yue Li smiled.

Han Li smiled.

"But the spark looks ugly though..."

Han Li pointed at a mirror on the side. "You also look ugly though? You don't look like my cute mom at all!"

That was a lie.

Yue Li frowned and looked at the mirror.

She gasped!

Her hair had become red?!

She immediately withdrew the spark back into her body and the hair slowly turned back to black...

'Thank god!' she relievedly sighed inside.

Han Li calmly came before her, hugged her, and then caressed her head.

"Good job Mom."

Yue Li rested her head on his chest. "I kind of feel sleepy Xiao Li."

"It is normal after so many breakthroughs, go to sleep, I am beside you."

The adrenaline would have worn off.

"Hmm."

Yue Li's eyelids became rapidly heavy and before she knew it, she fell into a small slumber in his embrace.

He just kept calmly hugging her.
