Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 14 Aunt Mouse
Huo Yuqing quietly leaned against her mother's grave, and after a while, she continued, "Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, my soul power broke through level ten last night."

"I should go find a soul ring. If I get a soul ring, I can become a soul master. Only by becoming a soul master, a powerful soul master, can I stand out and get justice for you."

She paused for a while, put her head on the tombstone, and smiled, "I know this journey will be dangerous, so I will pretend to be a boy first, a boy who is alone is always safer than a girl, so don't worry, mom Oh me!"

"Look, I'm pretty slender now, about the size of a boy, maybe I can try to tan myself?" She counted with fingers, "The voice is a problem... but I probably don't have to pretend to be a boy all the time." Child. It should be okay to hide it from others for a few years. Two or three years is enough time for me to get the soul ring and find a place to settle down. When I have the strength, even if I am an orphan, the situation will not be so dangerous! So, Mom, don't worry about me at all!"

"Mom, didn't you say that if I were a little boy, you would name me Huo Yuhao? Then my name will be Huo Yuhao from now on."

"Mom, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as if you agreed." Huo Yuqing said softly, she still had a smile on her face, but her eye circles were a little red again.

The breeze blows, the branches and leaves of the trees sway, and the shadow of the trees on the ground really looks like a graceful woman nodding with a smile.

"Mom, I miss you so much..."

"Clap."

A drop of tear fell on the ground, the surrounding dust stirred up, and finally returned to calm.

"By the way, let's pretend that boys should cut their hair short..." Huo Yuqing smoothed her ponytail, and the thin and soft hair was wrapped around her hands obediently.

A short knife appeared in Huo Yuqing's hand, it was the white tiger dagger left by her mother.

Holding the dagger, the girl carefully cut off the hair bit by bit from the root of the braid.

Really reluctant, she looked at the broken hair in her hand, and recalled the only beautiful moment that shone brightly in the time spent in the Duke's mansion.

Her mother stood behind her, holding a small rough wooden comb, combing her hair into a nice hairstyle bit by bit.Without beautiful hair accessories, my mother picked flowers from the forest and put them in her hair.

Then my mother would kiss Huo Yuqing on the cheek and say with a smile that my girl will be pretty soon.

However, in the last week of her life, every time Huo Yun'er woke up, she would hold her daughter and cry bitterly.

"It's mother's fault...it's all mother's fault. If mother made you a boy, you wouldn't have to suffer like this."

The pain and high fever took away the last of the woman's sanity, and all the guilt that had been hidden in her heart and didn't want her daughter to notice it all gushed out all at once.

"If you were a boy, how wonderful..." Huo Yun'er lay on the cold bed, staring blankly at the mottled ceiling of the woodshed, with cloudy tears dripping from the corners of her already finely lined eyes Down.

"I want to name you Huo Yuhao, and you can also include his name in your name... Only boys can inherit the white tiger martial soul... If you awaken the powerful white tiger martial soul, you can get the Duke's mansion. Cultivate, become the most powerful group of soul masters in the world, the Duchess will never dare to do anything to you... It's all mother's fault..."

Huo Yun'er passed away in pain with self-blame and concern for her daughter.

To this day, the woman's painful murmur still seemed to echo in Huo Yuqing's ears.

But she knew in her heart that what happened to her and her mother had nothing to do with whether she was a boy or a girl.

How could this be mother's fault?
The girl lowered her eyes, and the hatred that was as thick as a raging fire was suppressed in her eyes.

That person... he was already a Contra, and he should have become a Title Douluo by now.

No matter what the price is, ten years, 20 years, 30 years... 50 years, one day, I will return to the Duke's Mansion to seek justice for my mother.

As soon as Huo Yuqing let go, the lock of hair flew away with the breeze.

It doesn't feel good to cut your hair with a dagger, but as if the girl doesn't feel the pain of her hair being pulled, she cuts her hair one after another with a blank expression until she cuts her hair to a similar length.

If boys and girls at this age develop a little later, there is actually not much difference.Putting on a tomboy hairstyle and dark blue coarse clothes, Huo Yuqing didn't look like a little girl at once.

She hugged the tombstone and kissed her mother's name lightly.

"Mom, I'm leaving, and I'll come back to see you in a few years."

The girl got up, ignored her numb legs, and staggered forward.

"Squeak."

A small voice suddenly sounded at her feet.

A mouse as long as Huo Yuqing's forearm, with a milky white body and a silver-gray line on its back, was looking up at her, with a pair of black peas-like eyes that seemed to have a bit of condemnation.

It also has a large green leaf with several berries on it.

"Eh? Aunt Shu?" Huo Yuqing looked at it in surprise.

This mouse was rescued by Huo Yuner when he was six years old, older than Huo Yuqing.

At that time, Huo Yun'er had just finished her martial soul awakening. Although she had eyes but no soul power, she was assigned to be a maid beside the young Dai Hao, and her life was better than that of ordinary servants.

At that time, the white mouse was only as long as the palm of a hand, and it was fainted by the sun, lying softly not far from Huo Yuner's residence.Huo Yun'er saw that its coat color was really special, and it was born clean, unlike the gray and gray mice next to it, so it was picked up back to the residence, and fed some water and food.

The white mouse is quite spiritual, and after being released, it would often come back to visit Huo Yun'er, and every time it would bring her some small things like nuts and bird eggs from the mountain forest.

One person and one mouse made friends in this way.

For more than 20 years, the white rat has been alive and is slowly growing in size.

Ordinary mice can only live for two to three years, so Huo Yun'er occasionally suspects that this beautiful mouse is a soul beast.

But don't all soul beasts live in the big forest?How can there be soul beasts where humans live?Huo Yun'er just lived longer as a white mouse.

Even after Huo Yuqing was born, Huo Yun'er jokingly asked her daughter to call her white mouse friend Aunt Mouse.

After the Duke of White Tiger left the mansion, Huo Yuner was persecuted by the Duchess, and the White Mouse was the only remaining friend of their mother and daughter.

Over the years, the white mouse seems to be getting smarter and smarter, and it also seems to vaguely understand the difficult situation of Huo Yuner's mother and daughter.And every time it brings a little bit of food, it makes the mother and daughter feel better in the hungry late night.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the white mouse is Huo Yuqing's only remaining relative.

"Aunt Shu, I'm leaving." Huo Yuqing bent down and stroked the hair on the back of the white mouse, "Didn't I say that last night? I'm going to a far away place, and we will part ways temporarily."

Aunt Shu squeaked twice, and dragged the leaf with the berries under Huo Yuqing's hands, as if she would not let it go if she didn't take it.

"Thank you." The girl reluctantly took a few berries and put them in her mouth. As soon as the berries entered her mouth, they turned into sweet juice, and there was a hint of coolness when she swallowed them.

The white mouse squeaked a few more times, took two steps forward, and raised its light-colored paws to rest on Huo Yuqing's trouser legs.

"Do you want to go with me?" Huo Yuqing asked tentatively.

Aunt Shu nodded in a very humane way, then climbed onto the girl's pant legs all the way, and got into the pocket of her clothes by herself.

There's nothing wrong with bringing Aunt Shu along, Huo Yuqing gently touched the white mouse's exposed little head.If she never sees Aunt Shu again, she herself will be reluctant.

Afterwards, she left here, holding back her reluctance, without looking back.

She didn't notice that the swift that was standing on the branch, which was slightly bigger than ordinary swallows, also took off at this moment, turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

And she didn't know that not long after she left, a group of mice that looked very similar to Aunt Mouse, with silver threads growing on their backs, came out of the surrounding bushes.

They dug a shallow hole behind Huo Yun'er's tombstone, and pulled out a ball engraved with a strange formation from the hole, emitting a dim light.

　Wuhu!Disguise as a man, Holly!
　　But she can't pretend to be a man for a few years XD
