Chapter 20: 20. Mother, are you missing a man?
Not only unable to cultivate, but also gradually due to blocked meridians, weak body, and ultimately dying of a body explosion at 18 years old, without being able to find the cause of death...
If she hadn't been reborn and drugged by aphrodisiacs that year, and then threw herself at Baobao's father, and had Baobao, during the birth of Baobao, the poisonous insect larva would have been transferred to Baobao's body. Even if she is now Divine Doctor Mo Jiuli, she would probably be nothing but a pile of yellow dirt...
Originally, according to Little Book's statement, the occurrence of this larva poisoning would be once every three years. But she didn't know if it was because she brought her immunity to all poisons from her previous life...
Then Baobao also inherited her constitution or perhaps it was because Baobao's biological father's constitution was strong. Baobao only had an episode for an hour at six months old, and afterward never had another episode again...
According to the ancient books, every three years when the larva poison attacks, it would cause unbearable pain, with the whole body burning like a volcano, making it difficult for outsiders to approach. Each attack would last at least three days, sometimes even up to seven days...
Even though Baobao only had the episode for an hour that year, the memory still made her shudder every time she thought of it, and she harbored deep hatred toward the person who had poisoned her...
This time she chose to return to the General's Mansion. First, to resolve her own marriage engagement, and second, to see her Grandpa, the only one who cherished her, and inquire about her parents' news...
If the larva poison on her body wasn't from this continent, maybe it had something to do with her mysterious father...
"Mother, mother, your soul has returned!" Mo Baobao's sweet voice brought Mo Jiuli's thoughts back.
Mo Jiuli then noticed that her daughter had already tidied everything up! They were just waiting to set up the tent so they could rest...
Mo Jiuli coughed a little awkwardly, looking at her daughter and said, "Baobao is the best!" She even gave Baobao a few kisses on the cheek to cover up her embarrassment from being lost in her thoughts just now...
"Mother, are you thinking about a man?" Mo Baobao asked astonishingly, her eyes filled with deep curiosity as she looked at Mo Jiuli...
Mo Jiuli was choked by her daughter's bold question and asked Baobao speechlessly, "Baobao, why would your mother think about a man?"
"Isn't that the case? Mother said before, when a woman thinks about a man, she often gets lost in thought! Mother, you've been lost in thought twice tonight, doesn't that mean you're thinking about a man, too?" Mo Baobao spoke very seriously.
"When did your mother say that? Baobao, don't read random books! Some books are not for children, understand?" Mo Jiuli said with a full head of black lines.
She was sure that it must be Baobao who had read something in Heavenly Book Space among those messy books...
Because she found that the Heavenly Book Space wasn't meant for any purpose other than storing countless numbers of books, including many modern romance novels...
"I didn't read random books, mother, there's a lot of truth written in those books! Mother, is my father in the Imperial Capital? Once you find him, Mother will have a man..." Mo Baobao said with a happy thought.
Mo Jiuli was embarrassed...
"Baobao, are you getting tired of Mother?" Mo Jiuli looked resentful.
"How can that be? I love Mother the most! But Father is not just anyone. With Father, Mother doesn't have to think about other men, and Father can love Mother together with Baobao..."
"Baobao, do you really want to have a father?" Mo Jiuli suddenly asked her daughter.
Although her daughter had never mentioned it, she couldn't help but reveal a look of envy when she saw other children walking with their parents a few times in Small City...
"It's alright! As long as I have Mother, Baobao is the happiest! If Mother doesn't like Father, Baobao can not want Father. Just having Mother is enough..." Mo Baobao lowered her head and said. In fact, she really wanted to know who her father was.
But if Mother didn't like him, she'd rather not have a father. To her, Mo Baobao, nothing was more important than Mother...
She remembered her mother saying that a man and a woman can only be together when they fall in love. But for two strangers to fall in love, they need to spend a lot of time together to cultivate feelings...
Only with feelings can people get married and then have children...
But her mother had thrown herself at her father because of the drug. She didn't even see her father's face, and when she woke up, he was gone...
She herself was an accident that happened after her mother was poisoned. Although she really wanted a father, she cared more about her mother's opinion. If her mother didn't like her father and preferred other men, she would respect her mother's choice...
Seeing Baobao acting sensibly, Mo Jiuli felt a slight sting in her heart. Perhaps this time, she should really make an effort to find Baobao's father...
No matter what, for Baobao's sake, she would try to find that man and see if they could give Baobao a complete family...
It's just that Mo Jiuli hasn't realized yet that she and Baobao's biological father will keep missing each other, making her and Baobao's journey searching for father and husband very frustrating and full of peril...
