BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101 Prove
"Wow, that… what is this big brother?!" she exclaimed.
Han Li smirked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "This is a new thing I just made using a Water Type Resource—Sea Serpent Honey. It is rather potent; can\'t you sense your body growing warm all over?"
"So that wasn\'t just me?" Liyue wondered aloud as she felt all parts of her physique grow comfortably warm. It was so soothing; she felt sleepy.
But she was, of course, still in his embrace.
Han Li smiled at her question and looked at her body, which was visibly relaxing. He pointed it out, "The Sea Serpent Honey is a powerful resource even for people at Evolution Stage; it can wash away the hidden fatigue in the body like a serpent shedding away its skin. But there was a recipe in my hand that could help me get more of this honey, so we now have a lot of these candies hidden in that bottle, and all of them are, in a sense, able to remove the stacking fatigue after training. It also has minor healing factors to it, too."
This recipe of using simple fruits and such to make a liquid and adding the unique honey into it later to get more honey was of course a method from the Demonic Lust Sutra.
Liyue looked at him with a studious face and nodded. "I will remember about this treasure, Big Brother."
She could feel the tension, soreness, and rigidity being sliced away from her body. Often, it was not that people were lazy. The accumulated tension and soreness becomes like a barrier to the path of self-improvement.
Sighing inside at the magical and wonderful feeling, she looked at Han Li with a blush. "By the way… Bi..Big brother, what do you think?"
Han Li smiled at the blush and caressed her cheeks. "What do I think about what?"
She looked at him for a second before saying with a small voice, her heart beating heavily, "About my… body."
Her face grew hot in his hand. He gulped slightly. Thinking about her body, he could still feel the obvious amazement in his heart.
It was too…
"Oi Xiao Li, your mother has brushed!" shouted Yue Li as she stormed into the room with a silly smile and a metal bottle filled with the Candies in her hand.
Li Yao walked in exasperatedly alongside her.
Han Li turned to look at Yue Li and felt a pang in his heart for some reason. He loosened his embrace over Liyue\'s waist and let her stand to the side. Sighing, he took the bottle and removed the lid.
Yue Li smiled and took one of them. Han Li looked at his mom as she gently took it into her mouth and silently ate it.
She was stunned, exactly like Liyue too.
The candy tasted like honey but somehow spicy, hot, and cool all at the same time. And as it digested into her body, it warmed up, and a small weight seemed to have vanished from her back.
"Quite good, but not to the level I expected…" Yue Li said, licking her lips.
Han Li looked at her with a sigh and cleaned away a bit of melted honey from the side of her lips. "It tastes better the more hidden fatigue you have in your body, and sadly, you don\'t have much fatigue since I always massage you. Of course, it would have still made you lighter."
Yue Li blinked. "So that thing helps heal?"
"Not heal. It removes fatigue and tension."
"…The same thing," Yue Li chuckled and put her hand into the bottle once more. There were more than 30 of the candies, and Han Li could only stare as Yue Li ate two more.
"This is for you to eat when Fatigue accumulates, you know that?" he asked with twitching eyes.
"You massaged me without telling me… this candy shall be the price you pay!" She took one more, but Han Li snatched it away and gave it to the silent Li Yao on the side.
Who looked at the transparent orb attached to a stick with amusement.
"Don\'t waste our resources, Mom. And it could be quite bad for your physique if you ate too much of one resource when it serves no purpose after the fatigue is gone."
Yue Li pouted but, with a sigh, let it go. "Any training today?" she asked.
"You want to train?"
"…Honestly, I don\'t want to today."
"What about simple…"
"Yes, not that…"
Liyue and Li Yao just gazed at the mother-son duo as they kept speaking about nothing or obvious stuff without a pause.
Finally, it was Han Li who asked with a serious face. "Mom, should we go on a date?"
No matter what, he had to do some in-depth checks on her mind to see if the \'Heart of Chaos\' left behind some ominous seeds in her. Unlikely as it was. And he had to know if she still meant all that she talked about as she fell asleep after having her heart turn chaotic.
A silence ensued as the other two women wondered what that Date stuff was.
Yue Li also fell silent for a while before she said with a sigh, "Only if I get one more candy will I say yes."
Han Li nodded. "Not today, though, since it will not be good for you."
"Let\'s visit our good ol\' place."
She smiled like a blooming flower, and Han Li\'s heart grew unbelievably calm. "Li Yao, you can eat only one of the candy and no more," he said as he took his mom\'s gentle and cold hand. "Since you don\'t have a Spark, it will be bad for you, but one will make you more energetic for a day."
Li Yao nodded and started to lick the candy slowly and savored its unique taste.
While nodding to Liyue, Han Li said finally, "Liyue, rest well for a while, and Li Yao, cook some breakfast. We\'ll be back in a bit."
Li Yao and Liyue looked at Yue Li and could tell this was important. They had seen her asleep when the enemy visited, and Liyue was even made to guard her while Han Li and Li Yao drank—it made them worried for Yue Li.
"Yeah, Yeah, brat, get lost and have fun with your mother elsewhere…"
Han Li smiled at the intonation of her words and, with a shake of his head, walked away with his mom\'s hand in his.

The bright shine of the sun as early as the seventh hour of the morning was soothing and comfortable. Warm winds passed by with more stories to carry away.
Some children ran or played hide and seek around the zone while parents were busy with their own morning routine. Atop an old house\'s rooftop laid two people—a woman gentle like water and a calm-looking young man. The young man had black hair, red eyes, and a calm gait, while the woman had similarly shaded hair, but much longer than the former\'s, and also dark eyes instead of his red ones. She looked like the epitome of gentleness and love.
She comfortably snuggled on his chest from the side while he looked sideways at her face.
Time passed in silence for a while before she asked, "Are you… angry Xiao Li?"
Han Li shook his head. "Why would I be?"
"I thought you would surely be though…" she paused but continued: "I spoke some selfish things yesterday after all…"
"Selfish things? Like?" he asked. Here, with his mom beside him, he felt rather calm even though he was, in a sense, slacking.
"…I told you I regretted letting you marry Liyue and such… uhm, yeah, Xiao Li, I woke up with a nightmare today."
Han Li silently listened as she spoke about how she had seen a nightmare. A nightmare in which he abandoned her and went away with many women of his Harem.
He supposedly even looked back at her with… cold eyes?
Han Li\'s hand trembled slightly as he caressed her hair. "You don\'t know, Mom, but someone visited us just before you fell asleep; an enemy…"
He then spoke about \'Heart of Chaos\' and its effects on her.
"That confused your Heart, Mom, and unfortunately, you have gone from having a solid heart striving to grow to the past you who had worries of me leaving her after I am done or something." He calmly breathed out and then cursed, "Damnit!"
Yue Li looked at him with worry. "Is that bad?"
"That is bad. It means your heart is fuzzy now, and you need to make clear of it as soon as possible. No wonder you lost the usual interest in training. Damnit!"
"What is it Xiao Li?" she gulped.
"It means you are losing the heart for progress and would become lazier by the day if it isn\'t fixed…" he grew calmer and kissed her forehead strongly. "Mom, can\'t you somehow come back to the logical conclusion that there is no way for me to abandon you? If you understand that, your heart should be back to normal."
"…" she looked at him with a tired face. "One day, I will grow old, and my face will lose its current beauty. With you being an Evolved and having 300 years lifespan, it is normal you can find people much better than an old woman."
Han Li chuckled with zero amusement. "Don\'t be dumb, Mom. You are my MOM and not some other woman, and… can\'t you see that I fucking love you too much to abandon you?"
It was so hard to convince people when their hearts were confused.
Yue Li rested her head on his chest and planted a kiss on it. "Prove it to me," she whispered.
Han Li looked at her black eyes and took a deep breath. "What do you want me to do?"
