Chapter 138: Oh My Sweet Little Daughter Alia
"So, what plans do you have for today, Darling?" Aria asked as she watched him enjoy his meal in front of her very eyes.
Asher paused for a second before responding to her question.
"I was planning to continue my journey to reach the Twilight Mist Sect by going through the Black Forest. After the incident with the wolves yesterday, I realized how dangerous things can become within these woods. Thus, I intend to hone my combat abilities by fighting against the wild beasts that lurk around the forest, while at the same time improving my cultivation.
I hope that after mastering a certain amount of strength, I will be able to defeat any foes who try to stand in my way."
After listening attentively to everything he said, Aria nodded in understanding before saying, "Yes, this seems to be the best course of action available at present given your current situation. However, don't forget that I'll always be by your side whenever you need me the most."
She then added with a hint of concern in her voice, "Be careful when you're out there, as we won't know if any hidden forces decide to make their move against you while you're all alone."
"Don't worry, mom, I'll make sure not to overextend myself during combat. Besides, if things get rough, I can just teleport away from danger and seek your help, no?" He assured her with a confident smile gracing his features.
"Alright, make sure that you follow through on your promise since I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my beloved son. There is no shame in running away from a battle when your life is in jeopardy." She replied in a firm tone.
"Of course I'll listen to your advice. After all, I wouldn't want to cause my dearest mom any unnecessary distress over my actions." Asher replied as he put on a serious expression.
Aria recalled her memories with Alia and Asher and felt an overwhelming sense of joy welling up within her chest.
'Alia... my little angel... How long has it been since I last saw your beautiful smile?' She sighed in melancholy while staring down into her mug with a blank stare at her gorgeous features.
'It has been almost 3 years now, and I miss you so much... But I know that it will not be long until you are able to come out of your secluded meditation and reunite with Asher and me.' She lifted the cup up to her lips and sipped its contents slowly, savoring the flavor of sweet tea that lingered within its depths before swallowing it down along with her thoughts regarding her daughter Alia.
'It will be quite a wonderful reunion when Asher and you will be able to meet each other again in the Twilight Mist Sect. Fufufu..' She mused with a playful smirk spreading across her mouth as she imagined what kinds of expressions her children would show when seeing each other again after all this time apart.
'My sweet kids, I must get stronger to protect you. I am grateful that you were born with strong talents that allow you to live safe lives. However, in this cruel world, being a genius does not guarantee safety.
Talent alone is not enough to survive this world of cultivation, as it also requires hard work, perseverance, intelligence, experience, connections, luck, and resources.' She thought to herself as she recalled how ruthless the world of cultivators is.
In the realm of cultivators, power decides everything.
The strong devour the weak, the talented use the stupid and the talentless for their own benefit, and the rich buy anything and everything for themselves.
She then disappeared in a flash and reappeared in front of the cultivation chamber to start another round of cultivation to improve her strength.
Her face wore a serious expression as she mentally prepared herself for her upcoming training session because it was going to be intense and challenging to break through to the next realm that hasn't been achieved by any cultivators in this world.
