“Mother,” Fu Chen could not bear to see Feng Ruqing sad. He quietly held her hand. “She’s just lost all her spiritual qi, but she’s alive and hasn’t left Mother.”
“Hmm…”
Feng Ruqing turned and looked at Fu Chen, who had already grown up. She was silent for a while. “When we go out, don’t address me as ‘Mother’ again.”
Fu Chen was shocked that his face almost split open. He bit his lower lip hard and looked at Feng Ruqing without saying a single word.
“You’ve grown up, unlike Little Qing Han. Calling me Mother… I think it is a little unrealistic.”
Previously, Fu Chen was at most a three or four years old adorable little boy. But since he made a breakthrough to Tier-7, he had become a teenager.
She and the state preceptor could not have a son of that age yet.
“But, I’m already used to it…” Fu Chen puckered his lips with grief.
It was Feng Ruqing who had forced them to address her as their mother, but now that he was grown up, she wanted to kick him away.
“And…” Fu Chen paused before asking, “If I’m not allowed to call you ‘Mother’, what am I supposed to call you?”
“Call me ‘Master’.”
Fu Chen was speechless.
Why did Fu Chen feel like his status had been lowered instantly?
Little Qing Han looked at Feng Ruqing and then turned to Fu Chen. She suddenly felt that… Not growing up was actually a good thing.
At least… Her mother would not kick her away.
Fu Chen gritted his teeth. A burst of light surrounded him and made him shrink smaller and smaller until he became a four- or five-year-old child.
His fair face was so soft like a porcelain doll. He was so adorable and even better than the fairy in the painting.
Feng Ruqing was stunned. So… Fu Chen could change his figure as he pleased?
She raised her hand and pinched Fu Chen’s cute little face. “How did you do that?”
Fu Chen grinned and lifted his little head proudly.
“I’m a spirit herb, so I can naturally change my body shape at will. However… I need enough spiritual qi to support me when I grow up. But only by controlling my spiritual qi, I can regain my previous size.”
Previously, Fu Chen and Qing Han were able to hide all of their strength so that outsiders would not be able to detect them and would treat them as ordinary children.
But if they wanted people to be aware of their power, they could naturally flare all their spiritual qi.
Nowadays, whenever Fu Chen… flared his spiritual qi, people could not feel the power of Tier-7 from his body. They would think that he was just a Tier-5 spirit beast.
Feng Ru Qing was stunned. So there was still such power in spirit herbs?
She suddenly thought of something and asked, “So you must have enough spiritual qi to maintain an adult size. Then Qiuqiu… What kind of spirit herb is she?”
Fu Chen shook his head. “I’m not sure where she came from, and I’ve never seen her kind before, so I don’t know. But… Mother, can an ordinary spirit herb make all the flowers and trees in this world and even the spirit herbs… Wither?”
The moment Qiuqiu’s spiritual qi dissipated, all the flowers, plants, and trees in Fang Zhu Mainland had withered away, including the spirit herbs… All of them were gone.
But nothing had happened to Fu Chen and Qing Han who were both spirit herbs too.
So it seemed like…
Fu Chen and Qing Han’s origin was also extraordinary?
Feng Ruqing’s gaze darkened as she glanced sideways at the blue sky in front of her. Her eyes flashed with fury. “When I was in Haitian Kingdom, those people said that… The Ninth Emperor was the one who established this world.”
