“That’s great.” Upon thinking about having fun, Lan Xuanyu no longer lingered around Nana which made Nan Cheng slightly happier. Ever since Nana’s arrival, Nan Cheng always felt that her son and his teacher were too close to the point that the mother and son no longer had time to call their own. It was rare for her to be able to bring her son out during the weekends, and just the two of them bonding felt great to her. It also allowed them to improve their relationship.

Nan Cheng piloted the Spirit Guidance car and cruised along the highway.

“Mummy, what are we going to eat today? Can we buy something back for Teacher Nana too?” Lan Xuanyu looked out of the window in excitement as he asked Nan Cheng.

Nan Cheng was slightly jealous. “Even at this time, you can’t forget about your Teacher Nana! Mummy is going to ask you, do you like Teacher Nana more than mummy?”

Lan Xuanyu stole a glance at Nan Cheng and replied, “Mummy, in your adult words, you’re making trouble without reason.”

Nan Cheng’s hand trembled. Fortunately, they were on autopilot as she found herself stuck in between laughing or shedding her tears. “And where did you learn that from?”

Lan Xuanyu immediately acted like an adult and imitated Lan Xiao. “Nan Cheng, let me tell you this. Although I spoil you, you shouldn’t be making trouble without reason! Even the frail and weak soft bone rabbit spirit beasts bite back!”

Flabbergasted, Nan Cheng stared at her son. “Good! You little brat, for daring to eavesdrop on our conversation.”

Lan Xuanyu giggled. “How was I eavesdropping? You were speaking so loudly.”

Nan Cheng humphed and laughed. “You little brat, you’re truly a trickster, aren’t you? Oh right, talking about tricksters, I think that Noble Le’s concert is being broadcasted today.”

While saying that, she activated the screen inside the car. A 12-inch screen lit up on the windscreen of the car without a need for adjustments. It directly tuned into Nan Cheng’s most frequent television channel.

Although the superstar Tang Le had only appeared for a few months, he was already a sensation in the federation. His single hit <Remembrance>, had left a deep impression on the masses. And with the full support of his managing firm, the single was spread across the few planets under the federation within just a short time frame.

The strange thing was that Noble Le would only sing this song and he had enough unique charisma to attract all the females from ages 8 to 80. It was as though every time his single was broadcasted, the temperature would rise dramatically.

This made his performances to be reputed as the shortest yet the most marvelous concert in history with only a single song, <Remembrance> to which he would sing only three times.

One had to understand that an ordinary celebrity’s concert would have at least a dozen songs, some interactions and the participation of honored guests, which makes the average shortest concert to be at least two hours long.

But Noble Le’s concerts only lasted for half an hour. Without speaking a word from the beginning to the end, he would simply sing <Remembrance> three times but all the fans and the audience listening would be intoxicated and drawn to its every repetition, to which seemed to contain a different meaning despite being the same song. Despite the short half-hour performance, the audience would remain at the concert hall despite Noble Le’s departure from the stage. All of them were left intoxicated by his voice.

Despite the desire for the concert to continue, the audience would still be filled with satisfaction, and not one spectator had ever caused a commotion due to the concert being that short. Noble Le’s name had spread far and wide. With his managing firm’s all-out effort, Noble Le became a celebrity overnight.

On the screen, Noble Le stood on stage with his long blue hair combed to the back along with his clear and handsome features that left a deep mark in everyone’s mind. He was dressed in a white ceremonial robe with silver patterns on its edges, accentuating his tall stature that increased his suaveness.

“Mummy, your eyes are twinkling,” Lan Xuanyu commented as she stared at Nan Cheng.

Nan Cheng immediately shushed him and increased the volume of the performance.

“Her silhouette blurred, as though experiencing a thousand years of reincarnation.”

“Her voice so clear, from the countless reverberations from the past.”

“Her fragrance of musk and lily, that lingers at the edge of my senses despite the passing of ages.”

“Her soft and slender hands, my best anchor and harbor.”

“One life, three worlds, one of our soul, the second of society, and the last contained within the depths of our hearts.”

“Where is she now?”

“Her existential third world has left a mark in my heart, as long as I exist, so will she.”

“Regardless of where she is in the first, regardless if she remembers her second. She will always be.”

“My memories blurred, but my heart is longing. Wherever she is, I will bring her a third world and look for the other two.”

“One life, three worlds, when will they ever meet, One life, three worlds, when will my memory come back to me.”

“I hope for a light from heaven to guide me on the right path, be it the God realm, the abyss, regardless of Heaven, or earth. I only wish that her three worlds would meet, a wish that our lives and worlds will merge.”

“Take me away, take me away, take me away...”

Noble Le’s initial audible voice gradually turned hoarse as the song continued. The emotions in his eyes turned from clear to being at a loss, gradually falling deeper and deeper, and by the end of the song, his eyes had turned empty.

The song lyrics did not contain a single remembrance, but every sentence resonated with his emotions.

Nan Cheng had heard the song countless times but at that moment, her eyes had unknowingly turned red.

Lan Xuanyu had calmed down as well. It was normal for kids his age to be unable to comprehend the emotions behind the song, but Lan Xuanyu felt that the song was nice, and it caused his heart to tremble.

“Noble Le must have loved someone deeply before. Otherwise, he would never sing such a song,” Nan Cheng muttered to herself.

“Mummy, what is love deeply?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.

Nan Cheng knocked on his forehead. “You’re still a kid, don’t ask too much. You’ll come to understand it when you grow older.”

“Mummy, why are you so violent!” Lan Xuanyu refuted.

Nan Cheng giggled. “How am I violent? Even if I am, your daddy isn’t here. Who are you going to complain to?”

Lan Xuanyu suddenly turned serious. “I will complain to Teacher Nana. Mummy, I realized that every time you knock my head, Teacher Nana doesn’t seem to be happy about it. Humph! Humph!”

Nan Cheng was startled and she suddenly felt a cold shiver running down her back. Somehow, at the back of her mind, she seemed to have felt the same way too.

After all, Nana was most probably a powerful Title Douluo!

“Hmph!” Mummy is jealous! Seems like you’re closer to Teacher Nana than mummy!” Nan Cheng pouted.

“Mummy, do you love me?” Lan Xuanyu pulled Nan Cheng’s hand and widened his eyes as he started acting cute.

She knew that he was acting, but Nan Cheng’s heart still melted. No longer able to resist, she squeezed his cheeks. “I don’t know what to do with you! Mummy loves you, mummy definitely loves you. You’re mummy’s precious baby.”

“Mummy is the best!”
