--- Chapter 97 ---

Chu Yunxi released a gentle chuckle from her mouth and stared at Bai Xue and Zhu Zhuqing with a calm gaze. "I am Xiaoyu's mother, and my name is Chu Yunxi. Glad to meet you two." She said

"What are you doing here? It can't be a coincidence, right?" Yunlong immediately asked her, which made Chu Yunxi shift her gaze back to him.

"Well, truthfully, I only came here for an inspection." Chu Yunxi answered with a smile on her face.

"So, I was also shocked to meet you here, young master." She naturally continued, which somehow caused Wu Dong, who stood beside Yunlong, to stare at her in wonder.

"A-About that, I had the data you requested a few minutes ago, Madam Yunxi." Wu Dong stated, which made Yunlong inwardly frowned a little.

"It's about to enter lunchtime. Shall we have lunch together?" Chu Yunxi smoothly changed the topic, but Yunlong could quickly tell that something was off with her

A few minutes later, they took a seat around a wide table, which had various dishes on it.

'Hmm... So this woman is Xiaoyu's mother.' Bai Xue suddenly thought while quietly looking at Chu Yunxi's figure.

This woman looks like a grown-up version of Chu Xiaoyu, but with a few extra perks like a gentle and warm aura around her, which the kuudere maid didn't have as she usually only has a blank expression on her face.

'She also has bigger chests-.' She quickly added, but out of nowhere, she could feel an intense gaze directed to herself.

"What?" Bai Xue looked at Chu Xiaoyu, who sat beside her mother like a spoiled daughter.

"Don't stare like that..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly yet adorably responded, which caused Bai Xue, Zhu Zhuqing, and even Yu Ning'er to be speechless because they had never seen her like this.

'What is this adorable creature? Uugh, I might forget that she's an ice tyrant.' Yu Ning'er gawked a little and almost spilled up her drink.

"So, how is my mother?" Yunlong suddenly asked while taking a bite of his lunch, a braised meat.

"She's healthy." Chu Yunxi answered, "She missed you a lot though, young master."

"I see…" Yunlong nodded his head while releasing a sigh inside because they could only communicate through letters and couldn't directly meet each other for four years.

'Maybe I should fasten our schedule?' He pondered but then remembered the promise he made with Zhu Zhuqing to visit the spirit arena.

'No, it's fine... We still have a lot of time, so don't rush too much.' Yunlong shook his head and looked back at Chu Yunxi, who only gave her usual cheerful yet gentle smile.

After lunch, they took a short walk around the city for a few minutes and finally arrived at the spirit arena, where a loud cheer and sound of fights echoed.

"Spirit Arena..." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the building in front of her with brightened eyes.

"By the way, what is your realm right now, Chu Yunxi?" Yunlong asked the woman beside him, who peacefully stared at them with a gentle expression.

"I almost reached the spirit saint. My spirit rank is 69, young master." Chu Yunxi answered, to which Yunlong and his maids responded with a nod.

'That's fast, considering how older Chu Yunxi is, so she also improved a lot over these four years, huh.' So Yunlong thought while thinking about his mother's hellish training.

They entered the spirit arena, and a few groups of people came out. It looks like they are a team that just had a match.

"Oh! What a bunch of children doing in here?" One of them commented with a sly smile on his face, but Yunlong ignored them and walked past them toward the counter.

"Tch, just another noble kid, who doesn't even know how to fight-." He added while spitting to the ground.

The moment he finished his words, Yunlong's maids suddenly moved at incredible speed and pointed their weapons and abilities at him, which caused the man to release intense cold sweats.

Yu Ning'er even stared at the man like she wanted to kill him because how dare he to mocked Yunlong a moment ago.

"Xiaoyu, stop..." Yunlong naturally stated while looking at Chu Xiaoyu, who was about to draw her icy sword, which probably will cause frozen chaos in this place.

"All of you drew back your martial souls." He continued while shifting his gaze to Chu Yunxi, who doesn't do anything except kindly smile at the man, yet he knows behind that smile, there is something cold hidden.

Yunlong also felt that Chu Yunxi's spirit energy was about the same as Liu Erlong when he fought her four years ago, which means this maid had the ability of that spirit saint realm.

"We are sorry for his behavior." Then, a man with a giant stature walked toward Yunlong and politely bowed his body to him.

"You are?" Yunlong responded by giving him a keen gaze.

"I'm the captain of this team, and he's my partner. So I am sorry on his behalf." The captain replied, which caused Yunlong to put a thoughtful expression.

"I accept your apology, but you see... The person who does is the one who has to apologize, not you." Yunlong firmly stood in front of him and poked his finger on his chest.

The other members couldn't see it or felt it, but right now, the captain is literally freezing in fear when staring at Yunlong's eyes, which had become crimson with three rotating tomoes.

On top of that, because of Yunlong's new skill, [Predator's Eyes], the captain could feel his body and soul screaming to run away like a great beast has been setting an eye on him.

"Jin! You should give him an apology right now." The captain shouted with an angry tone.

The man named Jin, who mocked Yunlong a second ago, became confused, but after hearing the tone of his captain, he couldn't do anything but walk forward and bowed his body to Yunlong.

"I'm sorry." He said, to which Yunlong responded with a slight nod.

"Good, don't do something like this in the future, okay?" Yunlong warned with a smile on his face.

The man named Jin could only nod his head, and the entire team walked away in confusion as Yunlong waved his hand at them.

"Captain, are we just gonna leave that brat after he humiliated Jin like that." Another member, who is a woman, speechlessly commented.

She had never seen her captain n like this since he is usually so brave, to the point where even local nobles didn't dare to have a problem with him.

"He can kill all of us easily..." The captain quietly stated, which caused his member to halt their steps.

"What do you mean by that, boss?" Jin asked with a confused expression.

"I-I could feel my entire body shaking when that kid stares at me," The captain said while making a solemn expression.

"Not only did my instinct tell me to run away, but I also feel powerless like a prey in front of a mighty predator." He continued with trembling hands.
