Waking up his Family

After sitting on the grass for a few minutes, Shen Yuan asked the system, "Anyways System, how did my mom and aunts become unconscious? They were fine before I underwent my awakening ritual."

[Host's mother and aunts became unconscious due to the pressure released by the Qi Vortex and when it expanded to infi-]

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Why did you stop?"

[Host doesn't need to know the further details for now. The host should focus on his cultivation.]

Shen Yuan was getting used to the system, so he didn't make a fuss this time and just waited patiently for his mother and aunts to wake up while wondering where he wanted to go from here on his journey.

…

Shen Yuxin's eyes stirred as she slowly woke up. She blinked her eyes a few times in confusion, trying to make sense of how she got unconscious.

Just then she abruptly sat straight as she thought of what happened to Yuan's awakening ritual.

"Yuan'er!" Her voice filled with worry as she began to turn her head to look at where he was sitting but Shen Yuan replied faster as he spoke softly.

"I'm here Mother," he closed in on her and grasped her hands, reassuring her with gentle words as he continued, "Are you alright? What happened with you?"

Shen Yuxin relaxed when she heard Shen Yuan's voice as she slowly took her time to process what happened to her and how she fell unconscious.

Though she didn't have much time to process as she replied to Shen Yuan's question, "I'm fine now, Yuan'er, just a bit dizzy. What happened with your awakening ritual? Were you successful?"

She was a bit anxious in the end as she remembered the ridiculously large Qi Vortex, wondering if it affected her son's awakening ritual.

Shen Yuan took a moment to decide whether to tell her about the system or not, as he replied, "Everything went well, Mom; I awakened a physique as well and successfully broke through to the Body Forging Realm."

In the end, he decided not to think about whether to tell her about the system or not for now. He will think about this later, for now, he thought to go back and have a long chat about the various realms of cultivation with his mother.

He got excited again just thinking about the new things he would learn after becoming a cultivator.

Shen Yuxin noticed the excitement in Shen Yuan's eyes as she smiled softly and asked, "Why are you so excited all of a sudden? Are you excited now that you realise you have finally become a cultivator?"

Shen Yuan got a bit embarrassed that his mother saw through him as he coughed and tried to change the subject, "Cough, I will check up on Aunt Huo and Aunt Bing to see whether they have woken up or not."

He hurriedly left his mother's side, afraid of getting further embarrassed; Shen Yuxin giggled slightly, looking at her son's appearance. She stood up to go after her son who was nearby checking up on Huo Rong and Bing Rong.

Shen Yuan was poking Huo Rong's cheeks as he spoke, "Aunt Huo wake up now, you have been sleeping for so long."

Huo Rong muttered while unconscious, "Umm Yuan'er lemme sleep for a bit more."

Shen Yuan thought for a second about how to wake her up; just then, he got the perfect idea as he got near her ear and spoke softly, "Aunt Huo, wake up fast, or Mom will be angry."

Huo Rong Hurriedly woke up and spoke, "Ahaha, I was already awake; I was just lying down for a bit."

As she awkwardly turned her head, she saw Shen Yuan looking at her mischievously; then she remembered where she was as she pulled Shen Yuan into her embrace, hugging him tightly while saying, "You are really making fun of your poor aunt? You nearly scared me to death. What happened with your awakening ritual?"

Shen Yuan was too busy feeling her soft skin and supple boobs over his body to answer her, but when he heard his mother coming close he woke up from his daydream and spoke, "Let's talk about that later and wake up Aunt Bing as well."

Huo Rong nodded in understanding and released Shen Yuan, who felt like he had lost something when he left her embrace but soon got over it as he walked towards Bing Rong. But before he could say anything, she slowly sat up with confusion in her eyes.

As she tried to remember what happened to her and how she was lying down here. Then she saw Shen Yuan on her side as she smiled sweetly towards him and spoke softly, "Thank you for making me lie down in a comfortable position Yuan'er. But what happened to us? Why was I passed out here?"

But before Shen Yuan could reply, Shen Yuxin came to them and spoke lightly, "That's enough chit-chat for now. Let's leave the Mystique Realm first and let Shen Yuan take some rest; after all, he should have a lot of questions now that he is a cultivator."

Both Huo Rong and Bing Rong nodded their heads rapidly as if a chicken pecking at grains. 

Shen Yuan also nodded his head in agreement as they all began to leave, but then Shen Yuxin noticed something abnormal; Shen Yuan was walking normally in this Mystique realm in which even a higher-level cultivator would find it hard to move as freely.

The only reason Shen Yuan was able to walk before his awakening ritual was due to Shen Yuxin covering his body with her qi.

She attributed this to his strange awakening, due to which even someone at her cultivation level was left unconscious.

She took Shen Yuan's hand, to which he turned his head and looked at her in confusion, but Shen Yuxin just smiled softly and began walking towards the exit of the Mystique Realm, which led to her mansion in the Eastern Desolate Region.
