Anime Crossover: The Daily Life of a Veterinarian Starting with a Divine Beast

Chapter 15 I love you, Mom!

"Shennong? Which Shennong?" Aunt Li asked in astonishment.

“Which Shennong could it be? Emperor Yan, the Earth Sovereign Shennong, one of the earliest ancestors of Chinese civilization!” Li Muyang explained with a calm expression, “However, the Shennong Beast was just a divine weapon used by Shennong. It was created by the goddess Nuwa.”

Li Ma and Liu Liqun's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Muyang, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, added, "However, he shouldn't be Shennong from our world..."

"That's terrifying enough!" Aunt Li exclaimed. "You didn't actually find the Imperial Seal of the State, did you? No! This must be the legendary Emperor's most precious treasure, the Kongtong Seal!"

"Huh! Isn't this a web novel?" Li Muyang was startled when his mother mentioned the Kongtong Seal.

Li Ma rolled her eyes: "Can't novels be based on reality? Don't you understand the principle that art comes from life? Let me tell you, as far as I know, our current number one has visited the Fire Cloud Cave!"

Li Muyang: "Wow! Is the world really this complicated?!"

China's Number One, a Mahayana stage human cultivator, may not be the strongest cultivator in China, but he is definitely in the top tier. Among all official administrators worldwide, Number One is undoubtedly the strongest.

Note that this refers to humanity, not imperial rule!

The legacy of our martyrs and great men has not been abandoned because of the existence of the cultivation era! Instead, it has been passed down with even greater prosperity!

"In short! I was worried about what would happen to you in the future, but now I'm not worried at all!" Li's mother said suddenly with great emotion.

Li Muyang was even more startled: "Mom, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything stupid!"

Li Ma rolled her eyes: "You brat, what are you thinking? The guy who hurt me is all dead, his entire family has been wiped out by your father. I was just making a casual remark! Do you think I'm going to abandon you and your father to go find some enemy to seek revenge?"

"Then your injuries, my father can't do anything about them?" Li Muyang asked in disbelief. Could it be that the Shennong Beast was really that overpowered? Even his overpowered father couldn't solve the problem, yet it could?

Shennong Beast glanced at Li Muyang: "Muyang, I have a feeling you're thinking something that's very rude to me?"

"Ahem! How could that be? I was praising you in my heart!" Li Muyang coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, straightened his back, looked away, and fidgeted with his hands.

"You child, after all these years, you still can't lie!" Li's mother complained, looking at Li Muyang's guilty look. Then she explained about her injuries, "Your father really can't do anything about my injuries, because they're not injuries, they're a curse."

"Actually, it's nothing much. It just restricts my breakthrough to the Mahayana stage. That's all. It won't affect me in any other way. This curse is deeply integrated into my soul. Although your father is very good at research, there's nothing he can do about curses involving the soul, primordial spirit, and the concepts of cause and effect and destiny."

"But you, Shennong Beast, were able to directly purify this curse and let it detach itself from my soul! This gave me the opportunity to completely sever ties with it! Truly worthy of being Shennong's divine beast! By the way! You just said that it was created by Nuwa, the goddess of some world? No wonder it's so overpowered!"

Shennong Beast yawned: "It's alright, I also have to thank Xiaobai for his support, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to heal for so long."

The little white fox raised its head, puffed out its chest, and let out a cry: "Awoo~"

"You're a fox! That's not how foxes are called. Come on, learn from me, 'Great Chu will rise and Chen Sheng will be king!'" Li Muyang said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

Seeing that the little white fox was really going to imitate that, Shennong Beast's face darkened (don't ask me how I could tell, I don't know), and he jumped up, raising a kick at Li Muyang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't corrupt the children! What kind of fox call is that?"

After playing around for a while, Li Muyang said goodbye to Chairman Liu and then got into his mother's car to return to school.

On the way, Li's mother kept reminding Li Muyang that he must not become arrogant just because he had the help of a divine beast. There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Even a divine beast is not invincible. With greater resources, the world he will face in the future will be even wider. If he cannot maintain a respectful and humble attitude and keep moving forward, he will surely stumble one day.

Previously, because Li Muyang had limited talent, Li's mother believed that she and her husband could protect their son, and that he had not developed any bad habits and was of decent character, so she let Li Muyang go out and have fun without worry.

Things are different now. His abilities have improved, his talents have grown, and his destiny is now much more powerful. If he continues to act so recklessly, Li Ma is afraid that one day he might cause some uncontrollable trouble! To put it bluntly, she is still worried about her son.

Li Muyang listened attentively to his mother's rambling the whole way. This was probably the first time she had talked to him about so many things since she was injured. In his memory, before he was injured, his mother was the kind of person who was a darling of heaven. If she wasn't the kind of person who looked down on others, she was at least extremely arrogant.

When she broke through to the Integration Realm, she was just over thirty years old, so she certainly had reason to be proud. After she was injured and had to step down, her temper became more restrained, but her straightforward personality remained unchanged.

For some reason, Li's father managed to tame Li's mother, this proud and arrogant woman! Li's mother, who was always very proud and straightforward, was like a little girl who couldn't even open a bottle cap in front of Li's father.

You should know that Li Muyang had personally witnessed his mother pry open the skull of a magical beast with her bare hands. She was straightforward with everyone else, but she would act coquettishly with his father.

Maybe... this is love?

Do women dress up for those who appreciate them?

Seeing his mother returning to her former self, Li Muyang was genuinely happy. In his previous life, although he knew who his parents were, they had never cared about him at all. After their divorce, they each started their own families, leaving Li Muyang to live with his grandmother.

Grandma worked so hard to raise Li Muyang, and after all that, he finally got into university. But he didn't even make it through his first semester before passing away peacefully. The only thing to be thankful for is that Grandma didn't suffer from any illnesses before she died. Thank goodness!

Therefore, Li Muyang was genuinely happy for his parents in this life, and could be said to have immense respect and love for them. Their actions and feelings showed genuine care for him.

Just like my grandmother in my past life.

They are not substitutes, nor merely blood relatives, but true family.

This is why, after obtaining the Shennong Beast, Li Muyang was anxious to improve his stamina, wanting to heal his mother's injuries—something he had been thinking about for many years, from childhood to adulthood!

After dropping Li Muyang off at the school gate, Li's mother kept reminding him, "Did you remember everything?"

Li Muyang waved goodbye to his mother, saying, "I've got it. Don't worry, your son isn't some spoiled brat. He has a very high moral standard, and there are some things he wouldn't do even if he wanted to."

"Oh! Right, there's one more thing."

"Love you, Mom! See you tomorrow! Mua~"

A kiss from afar~

Without waiting for Li Ma's stunned reaction, Li Muyang turned around and dragged the smiling Shennong Beast away, while the little white fox perched on his shoulder still had a cute, dazed expression on its face.

"This kid... hehehe..." Li Ma was stunned for a long time before she showed a helpless yet happy smile, humming a song as she drove back to work. She had taken a day off.

For a mother, this is perhaps the happiest thing!

The child was easy to take care of from a young age. When others said that Li Muyang's talent for cultivation was not good, Li's mother and father never cared about these things. In Li's mother's eyes, her son was much better than those naughty children who were still ignorant from childhood!

Li's father even stated that what he left behind was enough for Li Muyang to live a carefree life for the rest of his days! Even if he were a complete failure, he would still be his son! Besides, his ideological awareness was so high! What's the problem?

Getting back to the point, after entering the campus, Li Muyang still put the Shennong Beast into the Spirit Beast Gourd. The little white fox was alright, at least it was just a spirit beast, but this thing was a genuine divine beast! Even his own mother could recognize it, but if that expert recognized it too, that would be troublesome!

Why am I not yet able to break through to the Golden Core stage?

I'll call my dad later and see if he has time to help me study the cells from the first generation.

Back in the dorm, all three of my dorm's troublemakers were there this time.

Well, the university Li Muyang attended wasn't a top-tier brand; it was just average. The tuition wasn't cheap either. The good thing was that the facilities were new, the living environment was great, and the dorms were four-person rooms with private bathrooms and kitchens.

That's right, it's the kitchen!

"WC! Godfather's back!"

"Father Li! You're finally back! Our children are crying for food!"

"I miss you while your godfather is away! You have no idea how hard we've been these past few days! That cafeteria lady at our school... it's a long story!"

Well, Li Muyang's improved cooking skills may also be inseparable from the "help" of these "rebellious sons".

Li Muyang stood speechlessly with his hands on his hips: "Seriously... buddy, if you don't want to eat at the school cafeteria, can't you just order takeout?"

The school cafeteria food wasn't as bad as I'd imagined, but it was definitely inferior to Li Muyang's cooking skills. These three boys had become picky eaters because of Li Muyang, and they couldn't get used to it.

The three chuckled and scratched their heads, saying in unison, "Ordering takeout is unreliable—it's expensive and unhygienic—we feel safe eating your cooking, Mr. Li!" x3

Li Muyang rubbed his forehead with a wry smile. These three boys weren't bullying him; they never made him pay for the food. When they occasionally ate out, the three of them would also refuse to let him pay for the meal, saying it was to reward him.

None of the three of them were extremely wealthy, nor were they from impoverished families; they were more like middle-class families. This amount of money wasn't a big deal for them. Compared to having a safe and delicious meal, it was a good deal.

This is what Li Muyang knows.

"Alright, come help me wash the vegetables," Li Muyang said with a wave of his hand, placing the little white fox on his bed.

"Alright! Godfather, you go change your clothes first~"
