Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Female Mother, Don’t You Remember The Handsome Little Yu by Daming Lake?

"I’m not mistaken. She is my Female Mother."

Yu An pushed back just as forcefully and took Yu Huang’s arm again.

"Female Mother, don’t you remember my Beast Father, The Handsome Little Yu, from Daming Lake?"

With tear-filled eyes, she said, "Decades ago, you passed through there and fell in love with a male at first sight. You got together quickly, and three months later, you gave birth to me."

Yu An’s expression didn’t change, and no one could tell she was spinning a tale. "Before I even hatched, you had to return home for an emergency. You told my Beast Father you’d be back for us soon, but my Beast Father waited and waited. He waited until the day he died, but you never came back."

She wiped away a tear. "Before my Beast Father passed, he told me who you were and said I had to find you."

"Female Mother, have you really forgotten all the wonderful times you shared with my Beast Father?"

This time, it was Ao Yun’s turn to be baffled.

’That’s not right,’ she thought. ’Didn’t Beast Father say that Yu An’s Beast Father was the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader? Who the hell is The Handsome Little Yu?’

Yu Huang was silent for a moment, then reached out to pull Yu An away. "I don’t know any ’The Handsome Little Yu,’ nor have I ever been to Daming Lake. You’ve got the wrong person."

"I’m not mistaken," Yu An said, her grip on Yu Huang’s arm tightening. "Female Mother, my Beast Father said you are the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Invincible Alliance. I found my way here by asking around."

Her tone was so certain that it made Yu Huang wonder if her own memory was failing her.

That’s right, she had lost a period of her memory. She also generally disliked people being too close to her. Even her daughter, Ao Yun, was only allowed to link arms with her at most.

Yet, she didn’t feel repulsed by this girl’s intimate gestures. Looking at the teary-eyed Yu An, she even felt the urge to wipe the tears away for her.

Yu Huang clenched her free hand, suppressing the urge.

"Impossible," Ao Yun said coldly. "If you’re Female Mother’s daughter, why don’t you look anything like her?"

’Beast Father wouldn’t be wrong. Yu Huang’s only child is on the Beastman Continent; it’s impossible for her to be here.’

’This female must be trying to latch onto the Invincible Alliance, which is why she’s pulling this stunt of claiming to be family.’

Yu An faltered. ’Oh right, I forgot I’m still wearing makeup.’

Seeing this, Ao Yun, who had been watching her closely, quickly said, "Female Mother, I told you she was lying! Look, she’s speechless."

"Who says I’m speechless?" Yu An rolled her eyes and turned to Yu Huang. "Female Mother, wait a moment. I’m going to get something."

"We look so much alike. Anyone with eyes can see we’re mother and daughter."

Before Yu Huang could answer, she scampered off behind a patch of grass and dragged out a pile of things.

This was the luggage she had prepared in advance. She couldn’t reveal her storage space, so she had to take out everything she might need.

A male Beastman behind Yu Huang felt his lip twitch. "Young lady, did you bring your whole house with you?"

Yu An gave a shy smile. "Anywhere my Female Mother is, is my home. So I brought everything I might need."

She found her makeup remover, fetched a basin of water from a nearby river, and after a thorough wash, her appearance changed completely.

"My heavens, this girl looks so much like the Hierarch!"

"I think she looks even more like the Hierarch than Miss Yun does. Could she really be the Hierarch’s daughter, left behind somewhere else?"

Ao Yun saw it too and subconsciously touched her own face.

This face of hers was something she had obtained through immense hardship and inhuman suffering. It was made to resemble Yu Huang even more than Yu Yun, the one sent to the Beastman Continent.

She was the true heir that Beast Father was grooming. Yu Yun was merely a pawn to obtain the Phoenix Blood.

Once the Phoenix Blood had circulated through Yu Yun’s body, it would be transferred into her own. At that point, Yu Yun would become a discarded pawn, and she would be the one and only child of her Beast Father, Ao Yin, and Female Mother, Yu Huang.

After all these years together, Ao Yun had long since come to see Yu Huang as her own Female Mother. She had even wondered why she wasn’t Yu Huang’s real child.

Her real Female Mother was actually a female of lowly status, an object her Beast Father, Ao Yin, had used and then cast aside.

By a stroke of luck, she had been conceived. Her Beast Father originally forbade her birth, but she was allowed to be born safely only after he came up with the plan to swap the children.

’Why do some people get to be Female Mother’s child without doing a single thing?!’

Yu An sensed a wave of intense jealousy and resentment, but she paid it no mind, tilting her head up for Yu Huang to see.

"Female Mother, look! Don’t we look just alike?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Looking at this face, Yu Huang hesitated.

"Female Mother, seeing my sister’s face, I also think she might be your daughter."

Ao Yun quickly composed herself and put on a smile. "Why don’t we have someone escort my sister back to the Invincible Alliance first? After we complete our mission and return, you can talk with her about the past. It might even help you recover your memories."

’As long as we send her back to the Invincible Alliance, I won’t even have to lift a finger. Beast Father will take care of this child who he suspects Female Mother had with another male.’

"First," Yu An said, holding up one finger, "I’m older than you. If you are Female Mother’s child, you should be calling me ’Big Sister.’"

She held up a second finger. "Second, who doesn’t know that the Invincible Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch is in love with Female Mother and forbids her from having any other Beast Husbands? Of course, he hasn’t even secured that title for himself yet."

"PFFT—"

As soon as she said this, the Beastmen behind Yu Huang burst out laughing.

It was no secret in the Invincible Alliance that the Alliance Hierarch, Ao Yin, was in love with the Vice Alliance Hierarch, Yu Huang, but she did not reciprocate his feelings.

As for Ao Yun... there were rumors that she was the product of a wild night after Ao Yin, frustrated in love, had drugged Yu Huang.

Ao Yun’s face turned red with anger. Although she didn’t care much for her Beast Father, Ao Yin, it was still better to have both a Female Mother and a Beast Father.

"If I go to the Invincible Alliance by myself, I’m afraid the Alliance Hierarch would chop me into mincemeat the moment I announce who I am."

"Third," Yu An said seriously, "Female Mother, your blood flows in my veins. You’ll know if I’m your child or not just by checking."

"There’s something you don’t know, miss," the male who had spoken earlier said to Yu An. "Other Beastmen can find their cubs by checking their aura, but the Hierarch is special. She can’t."

"Oh, I see."

Yu An showed her understanding. "Female Mother, my sister just said you have amnesia. Once you recover your memory, you’ll remember my Beast Father and be able to prove who I am!"

"Hierarch, the young lady has a point. Even if you don’t remember who you had a fling with, this girl is still your child, after all."

He looked at Yu Huang and said, "Why not bring her along? It’s not dangerous anyway. Just think of it as taking the two young ladies out for fun."

"Female Mother..."

Ao Yun looked at Yu Huang anxiously. "You promised you were only bringing me! I don’t want someone else here competing with me!"

"The Alliance Hierarch told me to bring you," Yu Huang corrected her. "It wasn’t my idea."

Ao Yun’s body stiffened.

’She’s already this protective of her after just meeting her? Is this the power of blood ties?’

The moment she saw Yu An’s face, she knew there was a high chance Yu An was Yu Huang’s child. But was more than a decade of companionship really so fragile in the face of blood ties?!
