Free Web NovelChapter 465: Chapter 226: Little Buns, Your Training Isn’t Enough (Part 2)
Looking at the two little rascals standing before her, whose heads barely reached her waist, Su Jiameng smiled gently and struck a pose of her own.
She didn’t slack off just because her opponents were her sons, or only two five-year-old kids. Precisely because they’re young, their minds are all the more perceptive, easily sensing changes in adult attitudes, which is why she treated them more seriously. She wanted them to feel that a duel isn’t merely play, and that no matter who their opponent is, they must go all out. Being careless is not acceptable!
Naturally, due to Su Jiameng’s serious attitude, the two buns had their fair share of tough times. When typically sparring with Changxi and Su Mo, both would hold back generously, while their own mother... Though she also held back as much as possible, forcing them while leaving some deliberate openings. Seriously... when mom gets earnest, it’s both cool and terrifying.
After all, she was facing two beginners, her own flesh and blood, so even when Su Jiameng was fierce, she wouldn’t genuinely use excessive force. But the buns were young, with tender skin, and even a light bump could leave a mark, which was hard to avoid now.
"Mom..." Huaixi covered his face, not daring to look at Su Jiameng’s serious expression. Honestly, although he was only five, it had been a long while since he’d been so embarrassed, lying naked in front of his mom. Even small children can feel shy.
"Hmm?" Su Jiameng had special healing ointments from the Cultivation Plane and other planes. The two kids had excellent recovery ability, but kept getting bruises and it pained her to see. Noticing the little one’s skin turning red, she couldn’t help but laugh, "They’re both mom’s kids. Look at Xiao Feng, he isn’t shy at all. Why be so bashful? Be good, roll over."
Huaixi silently facepalmed, speechless. He’s different from his brother, okay? Huaixi has been enthusiastic and outgoing since he was little. Not only has he stripped in front of mom, he’s even run outside naked, which he’s done before. But brother is brother, and he’s himself—so shy...
"No way..." Huaixi, usually obedient, rebelled and refused, then... got suppressed by mom. "Mom, it tickles..."
"Don’t move around, just apply these medicines and everything will be fine." The Cultivation Plane’s medicine for dispersing bruises is indeed very effective, and these medicines also strengthen the bones and muscles. Applying them when injured is hugely beneficial to the bones and muscles. "If it tickles, just bear with it a bit."
The two little ones are still young, and absorb the medicine very well; it’s much more effective on them than it would be on her.
Su Jiameng finished applying the medicine, then set the small bottle down and grabbed the neatly folded clothes from the side to dress the little one. Though she knew some basic sewing, she was no expert. When trading at the Plane Store, she even switched out many outfits tailored to the little ones’ sizes: simple crossed-collar tops and shorts, very practical for everyday wear and training.
Of course, truth be told, she really wanted to see the two little buns dressed up, top and bottom, with what she’d jokingly call a "scholar’s pretentious ensemble"! Thinking of the ancient times from her first life, it was indeed beautiful; men wore skirts too...
Even though it’s just a few outfits, the fabric was top-notch, pure natural and green, without chemicals or pollution, much better than the synthetic fabrics of the Interstellar Future. Though the clothes didn’t match current aesthetics, they were comfortable to wear, and that’s what mattered.
After finishing up, Su Jiameng gleefully sectioned off a large tuft of hair on Huaixi’s temples and braided it, combing the rest back, then crossed the braids at the back, securing them with a silver headband embedded with Clay Ore.
"Look at this charming little gentleman, if thrown into the ancient Earth Era, our Xiao Xi would be a sensational beautiful young lord." Su Jiameng intentionally put on a mischievous stance, smiling as she playfully teased her introverted and bashful eldest son.
Huaixi showed a helpless expression but was secretly thrilled inside. However, enjoying alone is never as fun as sharing the joy. If he had to suffer, why not let his brother join a bit too? Momentarily turning into a spiteful sesame-filled bun, he mercilessly sold his brother out.
But when the two looked at Huaifeng, who had finished applying medicine but was still bare-skinned, they instantly wore different expressions. Huaixi covered his face, pretending he didn’t see his brother being so embarrassing, while Su Jiameng completely broke down, the scene behind her resembling a volcanic eruption!
