Chapter 108: With Effort, Comes Success

Xiao Mao really puts all his efforts in studying. Although there is still 300 years before he can fully become a demon, he is too intelligent, so smart that even Blue Feather Goddess says he can attend the demon school in advance. The problem was that the demon school located in the Heavenly Realm was quite a distance away from the Mortal Realm thus Xiao’lin suggested for him to temporarily stay at Xuan Qing Palace so it would be more convenient for his studies.

I was very unwilling, however, Yin Zi said that a good mother mustn’t selfishly tie their child to oneself otherwise it would do more harm than good. Xiao Mao could become spoiled and influenced into bad behaviours such as robbery, pedophilia, and bullying. Hearing these words, I instantly nodded in approval for him to go study; my only request, for him to visit once a month.

Xiao Mao had no interest in the Heavenly Realms, pitifully crying to me, “Mother, I don’t want to go to the Heavenly Realms, if you’re not by my side, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Hearing these words made my heart tremble. I flew out in the middle of the night to have Mo’lin prescribe some sleeping remedies for him to bring along and went out in search of a three coloured calico cat like myself for him to hug in his sleep.

On the second day, Xiao Mao seeing all the preparations I did, let out a large grin. His eyebrow twitched several times, and then said, “I’m afraid Mother will be lonely at home all by herself.”

Ao Yun coincidently arrived at this moment, smiled and said, “How can that be possible? Your Mother has me to accompany her so how can she be lonely?”

Yin Zi recognized his scent, and then immediately grabbed a broom to get rid of him. He roared ferociously like an angry kitten, “With me here! Your Mother who only knows how to sleep and eat! Won’t ever be lonely!”

Jian Nan also came out to the commotion, smiled and said, “Xiao Mao, you’re such a kind child. If you stick to your Mother so much, the other students will laugh at you. It’s not like you won’t be coming back to visit so the next your Mother sees you, she’ll miss you to death.”

Everyone gave their opinions to persuade Xiao Mao. The only thing left was for him to quickly pack his belonging and go study. Not allowed to return without completion.

Xiao Mao angrily rolled his eyes and then ran into the hall. I was going to chase after him, but Yin Zi held onto my arms telling me that children mustn’t be spoiled too much. Although Xiao Mao has quite the clever brain, he doesn’t think for others, and so going to Blue Feather Goddess would be necessary.

I held back my heartache. And nodded at Yin Zi’s teaching.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night after lighting an incense for the Buddha, I discovered a little lump on the top of my bed. I lifted the covers, finding Xiao Mao lying inside and then laughed, “Do you want to sleep with Mother tonight?”

Xiao Mao didn’t reply. Only sobbing sounds could be heard.

I was a little surprised. I held him in my arms and coaxed, “What’s wrong?”

“Mother…..doesn’t want Xiao Mao anymore…..” He raised his head, and then rubbed his eyes. Tears began to fall down his face.

“Not at all! Not at all!” I quickly shook my head, “After Xiao Mao goes to the Heavenly Realm, you will be with Ao Yun and Xiao’lin, and forget all about Mother!”

Xiao Mao raised his head up and loudly complained, “Your memory is so bad, you will definitely forget about Xiao Mao.”

“No definitely not! In my heart there is only your father! Ao Yun and them are so ugly so why would I bother remembering them!” I hurriedly explained.
