My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It-Chapter 110 Slice of Life till the Soul’s awake.

110 Slice of Life till the Soul's awake.

Stretching his back along with the sun's rising light, Han Li looked at Liyue walking to the backyard with a sleepy face and a still stooping head. "You are late, Liyue." He Laughed.

He was naked above the torso and was also sweating. He had already warmed up slightly. While beside him was Yue Li, who was playing with a piece of wood, slowly carving it using her small knife.

She was so focused she didn't even feel Yue Li's appearance.

Han Li sat down, smiled at that, and looked back at Liyue while taking a fresh breath of the morning mist. She shook her head to clear the grogginess and moved beside a wooden bucket: taking the cold water, she washed her face and brushed. Then, she moved to the side and brought her trusted stick—spear—while skipping on her feet to stand in front of him.

"Ready?" he asked.

She nodded. "Where is your mother?" he asked again.

She wryly smiled. "She is still asleep, big brother… I really tried to wake her up, but she kicked me out and went back to sleep."

"That lazy ass woman, she really needs some teaching," cursing, he asked, "So, why didn't you guys come to sleep with us after I told you to? We waited for you for quite a while."

Liyue cleared her throat, and her morning face blushed. "We really did come to your room, but on the door… we heard… uhm, noises?" Her face was reddy, but she still ended her words confidently.

"Oh…" Han Li thought back to yesterday and couldn't help but feel a bit amused. Yesterday was a really weird night for him; he didn't really know what happened after his mother used her mouth.

It was as if the rest of the night had gotten blurry. He remembered her moaning and him thrusting, but it was still very blurry. All he could say was he had enjoyed yesterday beyond any sexual experiences he had ever had in all of his lives.

"…who was making these so-called… noises?" he asked, feeling even more amused at the feeling of shame in his heart. Such things were so childish and new.

Did his heart still have space for such humane things?

Liyue pushed back a strand of hair and looked down. Han Li couldn't help but snicker in amusement. "So I really was making sounds in bed all night?"

Even Yue Li heard his laugh and looked up from the wood. "Ah, Xiao Li, you won't believe how many noises you made!" she said with a laugh.

11:42

She felt so refreshed today. She could also focus much better on her carving.

Whoever said emotions couldn't affect their motivation with enough discipline must have been more stupid than her. She was so motivated today she could run five marathons if it came to it.

Liyue looked at Yue Li and wondered how she had grown so much bolder in a day with a starry gaze. On the other hand, Han Li squinted at his Mom, filled with a bit of irritation.

"You work on that sculpture. You know what? You are so worse in comparison to our Little Liyao, Humph. You just watch as she surpasses you."

Yue Li looked at him with a similar squint. "Are you sure, Xiao Li? I think my heart healed already. And guess what? I am quite… talented."

Han Li raised an eyebrow. 'Healed your heart?'

He could certainly see some difference, but he was pretty sure a broken Heart of Cultivation wouldn't be healed that easily. So that meant she was making some progress in regaining her confidence.

'Did dominating me in bed really give her that much confidence?' Han Li assessed with even more amusement growing in him. "Really, Mom? You think your heart is on the rise?"

Nodding proudly, Yue Li scoffed. "What Heart of Cultivation this and that, you guys really don't know what depression is. I was just depressed, and I felt fresh after yesterday. You bet I won't feel so down from now."

Han Li rubbed his jaws and nodded. "Let's see how long that lasts. If you last for more than a week, I'll let you do it again."

"What?" Yue Li snorted at him. "You're not gonna let me do it otherwise?"

Han Li shrugged.

"Once was by mistake, no longer letting you do that." Feeling wronged, she stared at him and then, with another snort, began to sculpt again. I'll show you in the bed tonight.

Liyue was curious about what they were talking about but decided not to speak. But Han Li stared at her with a knowing glance, and she smiled wryly.

"What are you people talking about, Mother?" she asked curiously.

Han Li smirked while Yue Li looked at him while rolling her eyes. "Come here, Liyue," she said.

Liyue moved near her and leaned her ears down.

Yue Li whispered something, and Liyue's face reddened all the way to her neck. "You did such a thing?"

Yue Li took a deep breath and nodded.

She had decided not to hold herself back while thinking about others now. If she wanted to hug Xiao Li, she would do it. If she wanted someone out of her son's life, she would demand it. She would act how she wanted to.

Who cared about what others thought anyway? From now on, she was going to live the way she liked. And honestly, she liked Liyue being in Han Li's life. It was just that it made her severely insecure the past few days, and she didn't like 'that' much.

Moreover, the realization that she was a disgusting person who felt jealous of her own son's fiancee made her feel disgusted at herself, but that had also settled now. What she wanted now was to feel like the past herself—carefree.

Seeing her actions, Han Li squinted in curiosity. 'Did she really… heal her heart?'

No way it was that simple.

He remembered having his Heart broken like hers after running away, watching his loved one die, and then having that stay that way for the next 7 years. Only then did he embrace the demonic path—benefits above human feelings.

That Heart then evolved after he came back in time—becoming a heart that aimed for benefits while prioritizing his own humanness. A heart that still strived for growth.

And even though he knew his mother's heart wasn't broken to that extent, it didn't make sense to heal that easily. He still had to do what he had promised her in order to feel comfortable.

They then began the training like always.

Days moved away just like that, and Han Li's steadfastness in not letting her use her mouth again really made Yue Li frustrated. But she held on with that motivation, and soon, it would be the 7th day since he promised he would let her do it if she lasted.

The wood in her hand got carved off of another layer and soon started to show some shape. There were a bunch of other failed products beside her, but this one had finally begun to look like something: it was a small home.

Liyue, on the other hand, was looking straight at Han Li's eyes with a face filled with excitement. It was morning, just the moment the birds woke up to coo, but her past few months of effort had finally borne fruit.

"I am serious, Liyue. You now have the High-Level Awakened Proficiency in Spear."

Liyue's eyes grew moist, and the stick, so perfectly cut to act like a spear felt heavy now. While beside her was Li Yao, who was looking at her with a really proud expression.

"Xiao Li, what does it mean to have reached that level in the spear?" Yue Li asked curiously.

Han Li looked sideways at her from his seat—the grassy ground—and wondered again: 'Does she really no longer feel insecure? No way her heart healed that easily.'

He shook his head and stood up. "That means, Mom. Liyue now has all things basic about the spear down to an immaculate level. She can move the spear along with her body, it is one with her. For example…"

He took a small stone and threw it at Liyue at a moderately fast speed. It was a blur but clearly visible to the Eye.

It was the sort of throw that people could see and immediately defend with their hands. But the rock was too small for something like a spear to do that quickly, but with a simple, graceful shift of her hand, the stick rotated, and the rock was thrown back at Han Li, who caught it easily.

"This is the base of her ability, Liyue, to dance on the Spear," Han Li said with shining eyes.

Yue Li and Li Yao watched with wide eyes as Liyue did exactly that with a smile on her face.

They couldn't even begin to explain what it looked like. It was as if the spear was moving while Liyue vanished as if she had become the spear. As if they were already pierced.

Han Li smiled. "I knew it when you asked me that question about the Spear a while ago, but you really are born for the spear."

The spear's stick stopped two inches away from his face and blasted the air away from it. He smirked. She smirked.

"Confident, are you?" he asked, looking into her eyes.

She moved the spear aside and giggled. "Not really… I still think I will stutter in front of strangers…"

Yue Li and Li Yao clapped their hands while Han Li shook his head.

"Now is the real test, though," his eyes grew serious. "Anyone could become High-level in anything as long as they trained enough and were enough talented. But only the chosen can ever become Masters."

Liyue also grew serious and nodded studiously.

Han Li looked at his mother's half-complete house and looked back at her carefree face. She wasn't far from reaching High, either.

He then looked at Li Yao, who was sitting on a chair with a lazy face.

Just as he was about to speak, he could feel some Energy finally enter his Empty Space after all this time. His Dao Soul was back from its vacation.

His red eyes calmly shined. "It is really a day for celebrations. Li Yao—"

"Mother-in-law for you," she lazily replied.

Han Li looked at her condescendingly. "It's really time I fix your laziness up."

She frowned and grew defensive. "Don't worry," Han Li shook his head. "It is time for you to enjoy your lazing around. You will have to wait for a while."

She was confused, but he didn't explain.

He looked at all three of them and thought.

'It is time I started my training.'
