(An: Tell me in the paragraph comments if something is wrong in this chapter because I’m very sleepy when I make it)

— Chapter 44 — ​​

After sparring with his sister and maid in the hidden training ground, we can see Yunlong sitting on the green grass near the lake with his mother.

“Are you already preparing yourself for the mission? You’ll go tomorrow morning, right?” Bibi Dong asked while calmly staring at the lake, which is reflecting her beautiful face.

“Well, I pretty much finished my preparation,” Yunlong replied to his mother’s question while patting his white fox, who is purring beside him.

“But, are you sure permitting me to go on this mission?” He suddenly asked while shifting his gaze at Bibi Dong, who is letting out a soft sigh.

“Yunlong, I’m always worried about you…” Bibi Dong calmly said while raising her head and staring at the blue skies.

“But in this dangerous world, where you need absolute strength to live comfortably, you need your strength to survive when I’m not beside you.” She stated with a solemn expression on her face, which makes Yunlong sensibly nodded his head.

Bibi Dong is turning her gaze at Yunlong while forming a smile on her face.

“Mother believes in you. I’m sure you will able to achieve something big, something greater than a titled douluo realm.” Bibi Dong said with a gorgeous smile on her face while patting Yunlong’s head, making him smiling inwardly at her.

“I will achieve that for you, mother,” Yunlong answered with a smile on his face, which makes his mother nod her head in satisfaction.

“Good… But don’t be too hasty because you still have a lot of time.” Bibi Dong said while taking out two items from her spatial ring and giving them to him.

“Um, what are these? Gifts?” Yunlong curiously asked while staring at the two things in his hand: an unknown emblem and a spatial ring.

“The first item I give to you is the supreme pontiff writ, with that you would be able to use my authority to instruct someone from spirit hall’s branch when you on the mission.”

“Well, about the second items. That spatial ring is filled with a bunch of spiritual and medicinal herbs, which are probably enough resources for you to reach the titled douluo realm.” Bibi Dong answered while giving him a meaningful look.

‘Uh, don’t tell me she already knows about my alchemy skill?’ Yunlong thought while staring at his mother, who has pursed her lips and formed a slight smirk.

“I already know about your alchemy skill.” Bibi Dong calmly stated while releasing a light chuckle.

“Uh… Since when did you know about my alchemy’s skill.” Yunlong asked with a weak smile on his face.

“Not too long ago.” Bibi Dong responded while shrugging her shoulder.

“Um, Mother, I…” Yunlong is awkwardly staring at her.

“Don’t worry. You don’t have to explain it to me now.” Bibi Dong responded while gently shaking her head, “Everyone has their own secret, I have my own secret, and you have your own secret. I’m sure you already knew about my secret, though.”

“When you are comfortable enough to tell me about your secret, I’ll gladly and patiently listen to it.” She confidently added, which makes Yunlong inwardly sigh at himself.

‘Maybe it’s time to tell her about my Mortal Sin: Gluttony.’ Yunlong thought while closing his eyes.

‘I can’t tell her about my reincarnations and my system, though.’ He added in his heart because those secrets must remain secret until he possessed enough power.

“Mother, I can’t fully tell you about the detail, but I can tell you one of my secrets.” Yunlong opened his eyes and stared at Bibi Dong.

Yunlong tells his mother about his [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] and its effect, which causes Bibi Dong to frown for a moment.

“This may be another mutation…” Bibi Dong muttered while thinking about something.

“You said that you could swallow a living being soul after you killed them, right?” She added, which Yunlong responded with a nod.

“Yes, I also gained a piece of their soul, energy, spirituality after I consumed their soul,” Yunlong stated with a calm expression.

“My Soul Devouring Spider Emperor should be the one who is responsible for this mutation.” Bibi Dong suddenly stated, which makes Yunlong confused.

“Huh? What do you mean by that?” Yunlong asked her with a confused expression.

“Yunlong, let me show you, my second martial soul.” Bibi Dong suddenly said while activating her second martial soul, which is the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

Bibi Dong is calmly closing her eyes while releasing seven black spirit rings from her back.

She is abruptly releasing a sinister white aura from her body and triggering something in Yunlong’s soul.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

‘Eh? Gluttony?!’ Yunlong thought while feeling a great hunger comes out from the depth of his soul.

“My guess is correct. You can devour someone’s soul due to the influence of my martial soul, but your case seems different from mine.” Bibi Dong said while looking at her son’s eyes, which turned into crimson color.

‘Yunlong already had this mutation since he was a baby, but it was dormant until he reached the age of six. This mutation explains a lot about his appetite, which is several folds greater than any normal child.’ Bibi Dong thought while raising her hand, making a white hue come out of her palm.

‘But, it seems to become stronger and stronger when he become older.’ She added while shoving the white hue into Yunlong’s mouth.

[You have gained Soul Devouring Spider Emperor’s essence]

[You have gained…]

[You have gained…]

[You have gained…]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Satisfied]

[You have gained Soul Manipulation Skill]

‘What the hell just happened?’ Yunlong thought while feeling that the hunger in his soul disappeared after his mother gave him her essence.

“How was it? That should be enough to satisfy your hunger?” Bibi Dong asked while deactivating her martial soul.

“Yes, my hunger instantly disappeared after you gave me those essences. Thanks, mother,” Yunlong responded while releasing a sigh of relief.

“You’re welcome,” Bibi Dong naturally replied with a gentle expression on her face.

‘Well, It’s my job as a mother.’ Bibi Dong thought while staring at Yunlong.
