Chapter 006 Pendant

…

The crying face of Tang Senya greeted the two ladies. Tang Senya could not help but rush towards her daughter and quickly hug her while crying in anxiety and a feeling of relief.

A few hours ago, she just received a unanimous message on her phone. The message is about her daughter but it was not that clear so she did not really understand what is happening.

She was too baffled and did not know what the message is about.

Plus at the time she did not have her mind in the message as she is busy hiding from someone from her work.

Then she suddenly received a call.

The caller has changed his voice which made it very mysterious.

Upon hearing the voice, it made her feel afraid. Suddenly she feels that something bad is happening but she continues to listen to the person at the other end. She knew that his call is related to the message she received.

Then that person threatened her.

She knew that her daughter is in trouble.

They have taken her…

She almost collapsed and did not even know how she was able to come home. After she reached the coach, she just cried and cried while clutching her heart as she felt pained. She knew that it was a hopeless situation, they had both experienced this before. But luckily for them, everything turned out fine.

She remembers that when her husband died, she was truly devastated.

Then not long after her husband's burial, the Jing clan made their move and took over everything that they owned.

She lost everything along with her husband's life's work.

But she did not fight back as those were just material things. What is important for her is her daughter.

As long as she has her daughter everything is fine…

After many encounters and threats, they decide to leave the capital and have gone off-grid for a while. Then they soon transferred to Vie City where her daughter started her college life.

Her life once again became peaceful. She enjoys her life with her daughter, and she got a decent job at a small company.

Tang Senya is a 42-year-old single mother now. However, due to her caring for her skin and her self-discipline, she is able to maintain her youthfulness. Although she is already in her 40s she still looks like in her early 30s.

However, one day, she began to receive these threatening messages. She ignored it as she knew that it must have been the Jing clan. She did not want to have any connection to them anymore. But then suddenly this happened.

She did not know what to do… she is confused, worried, anxious, and depressed. If something really happened to her daughter, then she would just choose to take her life along with her.

"For whom am I going to live?" she muttered as beads of tears continuously trickled from her eyes like a slow-flowing river.

It was unknown how much time have passed before she was able to wake up from her stupor.

She began to pace back and forth outside their residence while trying to think of ways to save her daughter. But then suddenly she froze upon seeing a familiar figure from afar.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she did not know why but like a broken dam, more of her tears have been released.

"Mom, why are you crying?!…" Jing Meilie slowly caressed her mother's back while trying to appease her shaking frame.

"I thought… I thought that I am going to lose you… I thought that I am going to be alone… When I lost your father, I did not have any hope left except for you… I don't want to be alone. If I lose you… then I wouldn't be able to live in this world anymore…" Tang Senya said with a shaking voice while crying and hugging her daughter tightly.

"Mom, I'm fine… can't you see? Nothing happened to me… Why would you think that something happened to me?" Jing Meilie said while she continuously strokes her mother's back.

Meanwhile, Sung Jisoo who is standing on the side is looking at the sobbing woman with interest. She could tell that something is strange with her, but she could not point it out. She did not have any trace of her power at the moment, so she could not use any of her skills.

However, from the way she observes the crying woman, she could truly feel her strangeness. It was weird for her to be unable to use her abilities, but what's weird is the feeling she is getting from the woman.

"You… You silly little girl!" Suddenly Tang Senya stopped hugging her daughter and spanks her shoulder lightly.

"I know what happened… I know that someone took you again…" she said with a frown while wiping the tears on her face.

Sung Jisoo feels a bit exasperated at this scene as she did not like seeing this kind of emotional outbursts of mortal women.

In her old world, unlike half-immortals like herself, mortal women would usually get sad and lonely for a short time. Many half-immortals would envy this because mortals could always recover from their depressed hearts.

But half-immortals are different, some would even carry the sadness in their hearts for many years before they can let go. And this is true, especially for half-immortal women in that world.

She is a bit different though she has not felt such a feeling before. But now that she is seeing it for the first time in their world, she feels a bit uncomfortable. She even subconsciously wipes the invisible tears from her eyes.

The mother and daughter pair comforted each other. They have experienced such kidnapping before, so they already understood that behind this should be the Jing clan. Although worried, the two felt helpless but at the same time comforted to be in each other's arms.

Seeing that her mother is already fine, Jing Meilie turns her attention towards Sung Jisoo.

"Mom, I want you to meet my friend… She… she is the one who saved me."

When Tang Senya heard this, she immediately showed a grateful expression as she hugs Sung Jisoo.

"Thank you… Thank you for saving my only daughter…" Tang Senya said with a sincere tone.

Sung Jisoo showed an awkward expression as she did not know how to react after being hugged.

In the past, she would have already pushed this woman away, but the feeling of being hugged sincerely is something that seems to be causing chaos in her heart.

The chaos of emotional outbursts.

When she took a whiff of Tang Senya's scent, her eyes turned into slits.

"I knew that this scent is familiar…" she thought but did not show any reaction on her face.

"Mom… I'm hungry…" Jing Meilie interrupted.

"Oh… right! Let's… Ugh… I... Oh, I forgot to cook!…" Tang Senya said as she remembers that because of her anxiety, she was unable to do anything when she got home.

"Hmm… That's okay… Let's just eat out…" Jing Meilie suggested as she suddenly grabs the arms of the two women and drags them towards the road.

The three had dinner in a simple restaurant and it made Sung Jisoo feel fascinated at the feast which satisfied her taste buds of the new flavors from this world.

When she was in her old world, she would almost always have food that is stale and unpalatable. When she reached the Spirit and Soul Realm, she did not have to eat anything anymore as her stomach would just digest Reiki.

And from then on, she has not tasted food much often. She would sometimes eat fruits or grilled meat, but the taste of those things is not comparable to what she is eating right now.

What she is having at the moment is a burst of different tastes which almost melts her entire being.

She feels like she is floating in the air with a variety of flavors in her mouth.

"It's just a pity that they don't contain any Reiki…" she thought.

Suddenly, Sung Jisoo noticed that the two women are actually giving her a weird look.

Although she is very beautiful, her way of eating is a bit unsightly. And this made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

"Hihi… Sorry…" she said as she slowly puts down the piece of chicken legs reluctantly on the small bowl while trying to regain her composure.

Suddenly, the mother and daughter pair burst out laughing which confuses Sung Jisoo.

"It's okay… you can eat more…" Tang Senya said as she handed her more food on the table which made Sung Jisoo feel happy.

She was once again weirded out by her change of attitude, which is not conforming to her status as the former sect leader and a demi-god realm expert.

But after thinking, she just shrugged her shoulder and muttered.

"Nah… Who cares…"

…

After dinner, the three went back home.

In the living room, Jing Meilie began to explain to her mother what had happened to her and how she was able to escape.

Then she told her about Sung Jisoo. That she could only remember her name and nothing about her past.

"Mom, can… Can Jisoo stay with us for a while?" Jing Meilie asked as if pleading with her mother.

Tang Senya could not help but look at Sung Jisoo who is sitting on the couch calmly.

"Jisoo… Would you like to stay with us for a while?" she asked with a smile.

"Umm… If auntie permits it, then I would truly be thankful…" she replied.

"Since you have saved my daughter, then I don't mind at all…" Tang Senya leaned forward and extended her hand.

As she touches Sung Jisoo's hand she squeezes lightly.

When Tang Senya leaned forward, something fell from her neck.

It was a jade pendant with a dark green color.

Suddenly, the eyes of Sung Jisoo darted towards that thing.

"This…" she muttered as she leaned closer towards Tang Senya while her eyes are glued at the pendant.

"Auntie… Your… Your necklace is a bit special, right?" she asked subconsciously.

Tang Senya looks at her pendant and carefully held it.

"Umm... Not really. This is one of the gifts from my late husband… I just like wearing it…"

"It… it looks beautiful… Can… can I look at it?"

Tang Senya showed a faint smile and takes the pendant off her neck and gave it to Sung Jisoo.

Sung Jisoo observes the pendant for a while. Then she suddenly has an idea.

When she tried to tap on her demi-god spark, she suddenly feels a refreshing feeling entering her body and the source is the pendant in her hand.

Her eyes went wide in disbelief as she knew why the pendant and the scent are very familiar. It was because the pendant contains… Reiki.
