Chapter 1127: Chapter 1120: Mother and Son Talk

"Mom," Luo’er took a deep breath, deciding to be honest with his feelings, "everything I’ve done has been to be reunited with you, and now my wish has come true. Although there may be some differences from what I imagined, the fact that our family can be together like this is enough to make me completely content. So... perhaps, from now on, my life won’t revolve around you anymore, I, I have grown up, so..."

"Mom knows," Nina said with a smile, tears falling nevertheless, "Luo’er has grown up and has his own life. You have so many people around you who like you; you can’t put all your focus on your mother. When your father was your age, he had already married your mother. It’s time for you to think about these things too..."

"Those things... aren’t within the scope of consideration yet..." Luo’er said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Is it difficult to choose? Do you need Mom to help you pick?" Nina asked, her eyes tearing up as she smiled.

"Mom..." Luo’er turned his face away.

"Alright, decide for yourself. Mom just hopes that you will be safe in the future. You won’t be going on missions anymore, right?" Nina asked.

"Hmm," Luo’er nodded lightly, his voice somewhat dispirited, "because of some of our reasons, I probably won’t have the chance to do fieldwork in the future. I might just stay put on Earth or at the station."

"Don’t you like that kind of life?" Nina asked gently, holding his hand.

"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just," Luo’er began, and said earnestly while looking at Nina, "actually, if possible, I hope that you can visit the station more often so that our family can spend more time together."

"If there’s a chance, Mom will visit," Nina said with a smile, "in the future, Mom is considering taking on the role of a diplomatic envoy between Ilanadale and the headquarters, permanently stationed at the Otherworld Gate."

"Really?" Luo’er excitedly asked.

"For you and your siblings, Mom will strive for it," Nina said, "right now Ilanadale is still ruled by your grandmother, and she will rule for a long time. So Mom is not in a particular hurry to become her successor."

"That’s great, then I won’t do fieldwork, and will look for a job at the station instead," Luo’er said excitedly.

"You just said you wouldn’t focus your life around Mom anymore. How come you want to follow me to the station now?" Nina asked, gently tapping his head.

"Actually," Luo’er paused for a moment and then spoke seriously, "I want to secure a position at the headquarters for myself, too, not just for me, but for the team. Mom might not be aware, but the headquarters is not a simple organization, it’s rife with too many entangled interests. If I am always just the captain of the Advance Team, I won’t have much authority. Right now, I can secure a position at headquarters mainly because of the assets left by my father and grandfather. When these assets are depleted, I might become a marginal figure, so I have to fight for my own interests. Not just for me, but for everyone."

"It’s rare to hear you talk like this. It seems my Luo’er has grown up and knows how to take care of himself without too much protection from Mom," Nina said with satisfaction.

"Mom, no matter what, I will always firmly stand by your side. If you become the queen of Ilanadale, then I will support Ilanadale. I’m your son; I will never betray you," Luo’er said resolutely.

"I know that, so I never doubted you," Nina said with a smile.

She reached out to tidy up Luo’er’s hair, contentedly watching her son lie quietly in her arms. Nina felt an immense satisfaction. Even though Luo’er resembled her more, every time Nina looked at him, she couldn’t help but think of Luo Chuan.

Every time she thought about Luo’er being the love child of her and Luo Chuan, the way Nina looked at Luo’er was always filled with tenderness, an indescribable love welling up from the bottom of her heart.

"By the way," Nina, who was enjoying the joy of family, suddenly remembered something and lowered her head to look at Luo’er and asked, "That child named Xia Yue, Luo’er, didn’t you say you were going to explain things to me?"

"Her, well," Luo’er inhaled deeply, then spoke seriously, "Mom, next, I’m going to tell a very long story, but all of it has been confirmed by us, so you can believe every word I say."

"Yes, you tell me, Mom will certainly believe you," Nina nodded and said.

Then, Luo’er explained the story of the Ancestors from beginning to end in detail. Nina had braced herself, but was still stunned by the facts Luo’er revealed, taking a long time to recover.

"You mean to say that Elves were actually created by the Ancestors, merely as a tool to improve their descendants?" Nina asked, taking a deep breath, struggling with the notion.

"We can’t say that," Luo’er said. "Rather than seeing it as elves improving other races, it could be understood as elves assimilating other races into themselves."

"So, is Tana’s so-called elf bloodline theory actually wrong? She thinks she’s doing the right thing, but she’s leading the elves down a dead end?" Nina continued to ask.

"Regarding this matter, it’s unclear who’s right and who’s wrong, all I can say is that the trend is inevitable," Luo’er said.

"So, that Xiapei Kam is coming out to correct the wrong path Tana has taken?" Nina asked.

"She’s prepared to work with the people of Earth to initiate the Elf Planet Project, to assimilate the Earthlings into elves," Luo’er said.

"I feel a bit confused in my head..." Nina said, holding her head and furrowing her brows.

"Anyway, Mom," Luo’er said, "the trend is unavoidable, whether elves are assimilated or elves assimilate other races. I know deep down you still long for the pure-blooded elves of Ilanadale, but times have changed. I don’t ask you to change your thinking, I just hope you won’t go against the divine will..."

"To be honest, Mom really is troubled, on one hand, you and Luoya are both of mixed race. But on the other hand, Mom really longs for the land of pure-blooded elves... Let me think about it a little, my head feels a bit cluttered..." Nina said, taking a deep breath.

"Then let me help you to rest," Luo’er said as he stood up from the bench and offered his support to Nina.

"I’m fine, go rest yourself, Mom’s not old, there’s no need for you to fuss over me like this," Nina said with a smile, declining Luo’er’s offer.

"Let’s walk together then, at least until we part ways," Luo’er suggested.

"Why don’t you go spend time with those girls and give Mom a grandson, that’s the important matter," Nina said with a laugh.

"Mom, what are you saying, we’re not even married yet..." Luo’er said with embarrassment, hanging his head and speaking as if complaining.

"What’s the problem with that? Your father and I had you without having had a proper wedding ceremony," Nina said nonchalantly.

"That’s not proper, please don’t say that anymore, Mom," Luo’er said, looking down.

"Ah, you really are still a child. It seems Mom has overestimated you," Nina said, shaking her head with a smile.

The two walked down from the terrace together and parted at the corridor crossway; Nina, accompanied by a Palace Lady, headed to her own bedroom, while Luo’er also turned and headed towards his own room. Palace rules were strict; even as Nina’s son, he had no right to enter his mother’s sleeping quarters at will.

"The bond between you and your mother is deeper than I had imagined," just as he reached a corner, Luo’er heard Xia Yue’s voice.

He turned to see Xia Yue leaning against the wall, smiling and looking up at him with her head tilted, "It seems you’ve already shared the facts with your mother."

"How do you know?" Luo’er asked, puzzled.

"I heard it through Tana’s perspective," Xia Yue shrugged, not concealing her actions.

"Tana..." Luo’er frowned and looked around, then turned to Xia Yue and asked, "Is she really following me?"

"What do you think?" Xia Yue asked back.

"If that’s the case, could Fulajie’er sense her?" Luo’er asked.

"You’re thinking too much. Fulajie’er is merely a demigod, how could she possibly sense the presence of a True God," Xia Yue said, shaking her head.
