The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 73

Ch 73: If the Sky Falls, Mother Will Hold It Up

Mao Mao （Hairy Monkey） took the talisman and looked at it over and over. It knew there was something delicious inside, but it didn’t know how to get it out. Later, it got anxious and simply crumpled the talisman into a ball and stuffed it into its mouth.

The talisman lost its effectiveness upon contact with water, and the Sha energy inside immediately surged out.

Mao Mao’s eyes lit up, and it raised its hand to stuff the Gathering Yin Talisman into its mouth as well.

After eating both talismans, it let out a small, satisfied burp.

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, thinking, “It’s quite easy to feed.”

Mao Mao had never eaten so happily before. Although it wasn’t lacking in food, it had to hunt for a long time to gather enough for one meal, and the candies were very hard and didn’t taste as good as those two things just now.

Out of its instinct for survival, Mao Mao decided to follow Gu Qingyin with almost no hesitation.

Gu Qingyin was very satisfied with Mao Mao’s good sense and gave it a new name with a smile.

“From now on, you’ll be called Mao Mao, got it?”

Mao Mao nodded repeatedly, having no objections at all.

Gu Qingyin took a step back and frowned as she sized it up. “You’re a bit too conspicuous, it’s not easy to take you out. You stay here first, and I’ll come back for you when I leave the island.”

Mao Mao shook its head violently, then curled its body downwards, actually shrinking a whole circle!

Gu Qingyin’s eyes brightened slightly. “Still too big.”

Mao Mao continued to shrink, finally turning into a palm-sized monkey, with an adorable and endearing appearance.

Well… it’s just a little dirty.

Huo Xinghai watched from the side, dumbfounded, thinking, “Could this be the legendary spirit beast?”

Gu Qingyin was very pleasantly surprised. “Not bad, not bad, this form is much easier to handle.” In the future, she wouldn’t have to hide it and could openly bring it out to meet people, just saying it was a pet.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyin turned to look at Huo Xinghai. “Keeping a monkey as a pet, is that illegal?”

Huo Xinghai really wanted to say it wasn’t illegal, but unfortunately.

“Monkeys are nationally protected animals, you can’t keep them as pets.” After a pause, he said rigorously, “At least not domestically.”

Gu Qingyin’s brows furrowed, and she looked at Mao Mao, saying helplessly, “Looks like you’re destined to never see the light of day.”

Mao Mao didn’t understand, but Mao Mao was still very happy.

“You’ve lived here for a long time, right? Is there anything you want to take with you? If not, we’ll go out now.”

To be honest, Gu Qingyin was just asking casually to show her approachability and attentiveness… after all, they had been in here for quite a while, and it was time to leave.

Unexpectedly, Mao Mao actually “ah-ah”ed twice, jumped to the side, and turned its head to signal Gu Qingyin to follow.

Gu Qingyin was a little surprised, but since she had already said the words, and Mao Mao really wanted to get something, she couldn’t very well stop it, could she? She could only follow.

“Wait a moment.” Gu Qingyin said, walking to Lin Xiaoyun’s side, taking out a Yellow Talisman from her bag, and bending down to stick it on her forehead. The camera director not far away got the same treatment.

After both of them had the talismans stuck on, Gu Qingyin took two steps back and snapped her fingers with a “snap” sound.

Lin Xiaoyun and the camera director stood up straight as if they had received some kind of instruction.

Huo Xinghai was startled and ran two steps to hide behind Gu Qingyin, asking in a low voice, “Did they rise from the dead?”

Gu Qingyin raised her hand and slapped him, scolding, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can living people rise from the dead? I just stuck a Puppet Talisman on them, otherwise, with such a difficult road, you’d carry them?”

Huo Xinghai suddenly understood. “So that’s how it is!” He was both surprised and envious; the Puppet Talisman sounded very useful.

Gu Qingyin had already led the two freshly baked puppets and followed Mao Mao away.

Huo Xinghai was still clinging to her side, asking, “Mom, can this Puppet Talisman be used on yourself? Like, when you don’t want to dance, you stick a talisman to control your limbs, when you don’t want to walk, you stick a talisman to control your feet to walk on their own…”

Gu Qingyin couldn’t listen anymore, raised her hand and placed a Mute Spell on his mouth, earnestly saying, “Stop dreaming, Puppet Talismans weren’t created for you to be lazy. Besides, people who have Puppet Talismans stuck on them have no consciousness, you can’t control yourself to control yourself, it won’t work at all.”

Huo Xinghai couldn’t open his mouth, but the disappointment in his eyes was very obvious.

Gu Qingyin sighed, “If you think work is too tiring, take a vacation. If you like singing, just write songs every year. You can refuse anything else you don’t like. You have the capital to be willful, why make yourself so tired?”

Huo Xinghai curved his eyes, of course, he knew he had the capital to say no to anything he didn’t like. But he couldn’t bear to, or rather, he was afraid, afraid of disappointing his fans, afraid of them unfollowing him, afraid that the people who liked him now would stop liking him because of one of his willful acts.

Everyone in the industry knew that Huo Xinghai was the top idol who doted on his fans the most. As long as it was a fan’s request, he would try his best to fulfill it. Because of this, he had a lot of obsessive fans, which once affected his normal work and life.

In the end, his eldest brother, Huo Xingye, couldn’t stand it anymore and helped him resolve the matter.

That incident had a big impact. Most of the rational fans were happy for him, but a small number said he “shouldn’t talk big if he can’t handle it,” and then unfollowed him and turned against him.

He read every comment that turned against him, and to be honest, it was very upsetting. A pile of anger accumulated in his heart, and then it erupted when Huo Xingye came over to talk to him.

That was the most intense argument the two had ever had in all these years.

After that, they were in a cold war for a long time, and all of Huo Xinghai’s activities were suspended. He was blacklisted by Huo Xingye.

Huo Xinghai didn’t understand. He was trapped in an emotional maze, unable to distinguish between good and bad, unable to see right and wrong, unable to feel any kindness. He equally resented everyone around him.

Until Jian Xilin’s words woke him up—”Don’t hurt the family members who truly love you for those who aren’t worth it.”

It didn’t sound like much, but it landed in Huo Xinghai’s ears like a thunderclap.

Those who truly love you wouldn’t have the heart to hurt you. Only those who don’t love you will use the name of love to hurt you again and again.

His eldest brother wanted him to leave the industry, just to eliminate future troubles forever, just to protect him, that’s all.

Huo Xinghai understood and regretted it. He awkwardly apologized to Huo Xingye and then made a vow, which finally made Huo Xingye relent.

Huo Xinghai felt very content in his heart.

Who didn’t know that the Huo Family Head always meant what he said, and no amount of effort could change his decisions.

But only family could make him retreat again and again, because without his parents, they were the closest people in the world to him.

Seeing that his emotions were off, Gu Qingyin released his Mute Spell, and casually raised her hand to pinch his face, gently shaking it. “Cheer up, if the sky falls, mother will hold it up for you.”

Huo Xinghai’s handsome face was distorted, and his voice was muffled, “Got it.”

If being discovered with the Curse Doll last time had allowed him to open a bit of his shackles and release a bit of his nature, then now, he had completely let go of his obsession.

Huo Xinghai was just that kind of person. Fans can love him or not, it’s their choice.

Anyway, his family could give him a lot and a lot of love.
