BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59 Just some weeds
Fay's mom ended up taking a liking to the same late-night dress I saw her wear yesterday. And from the looks of things, she had no plans of changing away from it. For now, though, that made her into one hell of a sexy, mature beauty that now smiled back at me, right as I was at my weakest. Unable to handle the pressure, I tightened my hand over Fay's fingers yet again. Satisfied with my reaction to her face, Fay's mom turned her eyes back to the road. "I'm sorry, but I can't give you the honors of actually giving me a name. I'm not going to force you to call me mother either," the woman spoke, not bothering to grace me with her look again. "So, just not to make things complicated, you can keep calling me Ma'am or Madam."
That was indeed the best solution to this slight problem, even if it cemented our relationship to be quite distant. But I couldn't expect a complete stranger to suddenly accept me for a son and instantly fall in filial love with me? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yes, thank you," I replied respectfully while bowing my head, even though Madam couldn't see it. "Sorry for asking so late," I then added, just to be safe. Now that Fay was my woman, I dreaded the very idea of getting on bad terms with her mother. Madam, on the other hand, simply shook her head and rolled her eyes. And before she could express her amusement any further, her body froze for but an instant. Then, a smile grew up on her lips, one so wide I could see it even while walking behind. "We are almost there," Madam claimed before hurrying her steps, now walking with renewed confidence as if she just confirmed something important. Yet, by the time I took a single step and averted my eyes from Madam's presentable bottom, my eyes were drawn to a seemingly ordinary plant growing to the side. "Excuse me, but what are those?" I asked, pointing my hand at the herb that I noticed. And I noticed it not because of some kind of instinct or my wisdom finally acting up and proving not to be just an attribute to dump my spare points on. It was all because I suddenly saw a system window pop out right above that plant, indicating it was likely related to my quest, somehow!
"Ah, those?" Madam turned her head, curiosity brimming in her eyes… Only to die out when she saw what I was pointing my hand at. "Just some wild weeds," she spoke in a disappointed voice while shrugging her shoulders. "Just ignore them," she spoke while rolling her eyes and picking up the pace. 'Well, I can always come back here later,' I thought, opting to follow the guide of the local. And in a mere moment, we finally left the forest undergrowth and walked out into a sizeable clearing… Clearing that was fully covered in beautiful flowers. In the middle of the clearing, there was a small mud hut, its earthen walls covered in grass. Surrounding it, there was an array of particularly beautiful and impressive flowers. "Like I said before, I know some of the herbs around," Madam spoke, referring to her answer to my question about herbs from before. "But if you want to learn more about herbs, there is no better place to learn from but at the source," she added, only to turn towards the hut and gently wave her hand… At the person who stood right outside of the hut, somehow perfectly blending into the backdrop. "Meet Leinei, the divine dryad of the celestial forest."
