Hoshimi Family reception room.
Although it was also a wooden house like Yun Kui Mountain.
There were still differences between wooden houses.
The cypress wood grain was like silk, with a natural fragrance, and the cherry wood carvings were like divine works. The furnishings within all carried a strong sense of history.
No, that wasn't a sense of history, nor a sense of art... it was the scent of money!!!
Yun Ming sighed deeply, wondering what the successive Sect Leaders had been thinking. Both had long traditions, both had bestowed great kindness upon this world.
Yet one was soaring in the heavens—the current Hoshimi Family Head holding a pivotal position in the political and business world.
The other was underground—no, in the earth's crust.
Just a while ago, they were still feeding their children vegetable leaves!
"Uncle Master, I suddenly feel that marrying into the family wouldn't be bad. I don't want to work hard anymore..."
"How many times did I tell you in the car to call me Junior Sister? Maintain your persona! Also, I recorded that sentence. I'll let Qing Xuan and Hongdou listen to it later."
"Senior... Junior Sister, can you not be so creepy?"
"Shh, they're coming. Do you want to become stronger? Do you want to get rich in one go? You stall them later and talk more with your Little Apprentice."
"Oh, and by the way. The Hoshimi Family's madam is a great beauty, just your type."
With that, she turned around and pretended to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, starting to act cute and innocent.
"Big Sister, could you take me to the restroom?"
The maid didn't hesitate, nodded, and led her away.
"???"
Yun Ming looked up, a little slow to react.
Wait.
Stall, stall what? Uncle Master, did you forget to tell me some part of the plan?!
This isn't what we agreed on... Wait, Uncle Master, she couldn't possibly be going to steal the demonic blade, could she?
He opened his mouth, but Bai Xian had already slipped away, her aura instantly vanishing as if she had never existed.
Meanwhile, another graceful and noble woman, leading a cute three-year-old girl, walked towards the main entrance of the reception room.
Yun Ming sighed softly in his heart, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and then flicked both little ones on the head.
Still eating!?
Get up and greet people.
"Yun Kui Mountain, Yun Ming, greets Madam!"
"I didn't expect Little Master Yun to visit so suddenly. Forgive my lack of welcome. Soichiro isn't here today, so I will have to host you."
It was a very gentle voice, somewhat similar to Senior Sister.
But more mature, with a bit more of the aura of someone in charge of a region. Should one say she was worthy of being the madam of a prominent family?
Yun Ming looked up, finally getting a good look at the woman's beauty.
She wore a dark brocade kimono, cinched with a wide gold-threaded obi that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. As for her size... it was certainly substantial, no wonder the little fox would also be quite large later.
It turned out to be strong genes.
But her attire was dignified and solemn, without a trace of worldly allure. When she sat, she was as upright as a pine in snow, yet a smile melted all the frost in the room.
She was very beautiful, and that temperament... indescribable. If one had to say, it was like a modern person seeing an ancient empress; not necessarily awe, but one couldn't help but be stunned upon seeing her.
A sigh, so this is what it was like!
Yagami Satsuki smiled slightly, not blaming the young man's gaze. Rather, the admiration in his clear eyes was quite pleasant.
"Young Sect Leader? Hmm, Little Master Yun isn't very old either. Speaking of which, you'll be Xiaoya's Master in the future. If you don't mind, how about calling me... Big Sister?"
"Master, stop staring!"
Yi Jiang nudged Yun Ming, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Normally, Senior Brother didn't get stuck just seeing a pretty Big Sister... Senior Sister was clearly very pretty too.
No worse than this auntie... Yun Ming naturally realized his gaffe.
It wasn't that he had other thoughts, but seeing Mama Ya in person made him feel a mix of wistfulness and awe.
He inexplicably recalled a character from a certain Star Rail game in his previous life, Kafka, known as Mama Kafka.
She not only resurrected the protagonist but also paved various paths for them, even doting on them excessively... In short, she exuded strong maternal radiance.
Yagami Satsuki was the same.
"Can I call you Mama?"
Then I'll call you Big Sister.
It seemed certain things were getting mixed up.
For example, what was said and what was thought... The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence, then a little fox puffed out her cheeks and pounced on Yun Ming.
Is there no law anymore?!
Trying to snatch her Mama in her own home, this was a bad Big Brother!
Who was Yun Ming? He manipulated his spiritual energy and lifted the little fox girl into the air, where she could only flail her claws.
At this moment, he lowered his head.
He just wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Heavens... what did he just say? Why was his damned mouth faster than his brain? This is what happens when you play too many games in your previous life!
But even if he was collapsing, life had to go on.
He represented the face of Yun Kui Mountain. Although he might not have any face left now, he had already called her Mama!
Could anything be more awkward... "Ahem... I mean... Big Sister Yeshen clearly looks like a good Mama, full of maternal radiance."
Yun Ming hastily raised his hand, trying to salvage the situation.
At this moment, a blush also appeared on Yagami Satsuki's face. In all these years, she had indeed never encountered such an approach.
If she hadn't been able to sense that he had no ill intentions.
She would have thought this Young Sect Leader of Yun Kui Mountain was a little pervert, or that he was insulting her.
But the young man's face was flushed with embarrassment.
He was quite cute.
As an elder, she naturally had to be understanding. Should she just pretend not to hear it? A smile involuntarily curved at the corners of the woman's mouth.
Mama... no, she felt a little like laughing~
She pulled her precious daughter back, also surprised by his means of object manipulation. If this younger brother were to become Xiaoya's Master...
Perhaps Xiaoya might escape the fate of the demonic blade in the future?
The demonic blade, mubi, devours its chosen master.
"It's alright, calling me Mama isn't impossible either~"
"But Big Sister is only twenty-five this year. If you try to snatch Mama from Xiaoya, Xiaoya will get angry."
