Chapter 251 Mu Mu

Ralph’s mother, Avelyn, called him out and ran towards him after entering the suite.
Ralph tried to run away when he heard her shout like that but it was all in vain. How can a mere Rank 2 run away from an Emperor Rank?
Avelyn caught Ralph and hugged him from behind. She touched her face with his and swayed side to side.
“Ralph chan~ Mama missed you~” Avelyn said happily.
Ralph’s face was slightly red as he was caught in her embrace. He tried to hide his embarrassed feeling and said,
“M-mother, stop! It’s embarrassing…”
Avelyn didn’t listen to him and did her own thing. She knew that her child didn’t actually hate such things. He was just reserved and thus didn’t show much affection like other people. It had been like that since a young age for him.
This one time when Ralph was around six years old, he got bullied by kids from other Emperor Rank families and from that day onwards, he decided to be stronger and while training and doing other things, Ralph developed a formal, reserved and cold attitude.
There was nobody in the family with whom Ralph opened up except for Avelyn. It took Avelyn a lot of effort to melt his cold heart and have him open up to her. She was the only person in the world currently who knew Ralph the best.
Lith and Dennis were the two around whom Ralph opened up other than his mother, Avelyn. He was starting to trust them and was getting close to them. If what was going on continued for a few more years, Lith and Dennis would definitely become the people who would know Ralph the best apart from Avelyn.
The three’s friendship was strong at the moment and it would only get stronger as time passed, given that they were together through thick and thin and in the various endeavours of life.
Lith looked at Ralph’s mother being affectionate to him and felt happy for Ralph. At least there was some lady in this world who could warm his cold heart. This guy was just too serious and reserved every minute of the day. He definitely needed some extra love.
Emilia walked towards Lith and Dennis and sat down on an armchair beside their sofa. She took out a big box from her ring and placed it on the table in front of them. She looked at Lith and Dennis and said with a smile,
“I brought some snacks for you guys.”
Lith and Dennis smiled.
“Thank you, teacher.” Lith said.
“Ah, that’s so nice of you teacher! Thank you! Haha!” Dennis said enthusiastically. Food was the key to happiness, according to him and he was happy currently.
Ralph’s mother and Ralph, after a few minutes, joined Lith and the other two.
They were sitting in the non-elevated part of the lounge room of their suite. There were two sofas and two armchairs and a sofa around a glass table here. Opposite to the sofa, a few meters away was a big tv.
Lith and Dennis were sitting on the sofa, Emilia was sitting on the armchair beside the two and Ralph was sitting along with his mother on another armchair.
Avelyn had him in her embrace as she sat there and didn’t leave him. She wanted to spend as much time with him as she could and thus didn’t leave him alone.
Ralph would work on cultivating and raising his Magic Rank in the near future, he’ll be very busy. He won’t have much time for Avelyn and also, when he grows up, he may start to dislike her affection. So Avelyn tried her best to spend as much time and affection as she could with him.
Ralph was oblivious to his mother’s taught and if he knew she was thinking of such a thing, he obviously would’ve given her assurance that no such thing would happen in the future no matter how busy he got.
Ralph was a reserved and cold child, not a disrespectful and hateful child. He loved his mother more than anyone in this world, he wouldn’t break her heart and do such a thing to her.
Those things aside, for now, he didn’t know her thoughts and was just feeling a bit embarrassed. He wasn’t too embarrassed as he realized Lith and Dennis were behaving normally. They apparently weren’t thinking much of his state. Ralph felt a bit relieved knowing this.
The five people talked over food and Avelyn got to know Lith and Dennis a bit. Emilia talked from time to time too and they all had a good time together.
The five had dinner and they all went to sleep in their respective rooms.
Avelyn of course went into Ralph’s room and slept while having him snuggle up in her embrace. She didn’t leave him alone in bed either. She definitely was a very clingy mother.
…..
Few days later.
Lith’s dorm, Abalax World Academy.
Lith was training with Rena and Dennis was training with the cow. Ralph was sitting at the side and Emilia had gone to her office.
They toured Espat for the remaining time they had and they had Ralph’s mother join them in it too. Nothing special happened all this while and they had fun. The four parted ways with Avelyn after their tour was over and were back in the academy.
Now, the trio was back to their usual routine of training and studying.
Since Dennis had a magical beast with him too now, the trio spent an hour of the day training with them. Ralph didn’t have one so he just rested or did other things while sitting at the side.
Rena and the cow fought together. They were given commands by Lith and Dennis and were fighting each other by following those.
An hour passed.
Their training was over and they were sitting on the training ground and having some refreshments. Ralph joined them this time.
Lith took a sip of his lemonade and said,
“Dennis, how long are you going to keep that guy nameless? You should give him a name.”
He was talking about the magical beast Dennis had.
Dennis put down his lemonade and said in realization, “oh! I completely forgot that he had no name.”
Lith, Ralph, and the cow gave Dennis a stern look that read ‘are you serious?’
“What? It’s no big deal. I can still do it now. Ahem, stupid cow, do you by any chance have a name?” Dennis tried to cover up his mistake.
The cow shook its head and said, “moo.”
Dennis nodded. “I see. Then, from today onwards, you are Mu Mu. It’s kind of a nickname, I’ll think of a good name for you later.”
The cow nodded and mooed. Anything was better than being called stupid all the time.
Lith and Ralph looked at each other and shook their heads with a helpless smile. Creativity definitely wasn’t Dennis’s forte.
After their break was over, Rena and Mu Mu were sent to the dorm to rest and the trio began training together.
…..
In a mountain range somewhere in the world.
A bluish silver-haired, blue-eyed lady wearing silver robes was walking towards the edge of a tall cliff. She soon reached the edge and had a look at the view in front of her.
She couldn’t see anything besides a sea of clouds in front of her. She was at an extremely high altitude.
The lady took a deep breath and doing so caused the elements around her to fluctuate violently; so much so that they broke the equilibrium and became colorful rays around the lady.
The region she was in had the least amount of elemental energy in the entire world. Where she found this place and where this place was, was a mystery. Not many knew of this place.
“There should be no one disturbing me here and I can finally break through. I hope the breakthrough is fast and I can go meet him as soon as possible.” The lady muttered softly while looking in front with a stern gaze.
She sat down at the edge of the cliff cross-legged and started meditating.
…..
In a certain corner of the world.
A man with long messy hair and beard was meditating in a cave. He had no clothes on his upper body and had one accessory on him, it was a white pearl necklace. His lower body was covered with a black cloth and he was barefoot.
The man was covered in white dust of some sort and he totally appeared like a caveman. If not that, he definitely seemed like a beggar then.
The man opened his eyes abruptly after a few seconds and said in a hoarse voice, “another one?”
He got up from his meditative position and stretched himself. He walked out of the cave he was in and looked in a certain direction.
“Let me see how you breakthrough.” He said and took a step forward, vanishing from his spot.
…..
Empress’s Castle, Star Dragon City.
A purple-haired, black-eyed lady wearing majestic silver-purple robes was sitting on a throne and giving commands to the people below her.
It was the Dragon Empress, Mayzin.
Mayzin was listening to him speak but after a few seconds, she suddenly felt a bad premonition. A few more seconds later, she felt a threat; something she had never felt in thousands of years. Mayzin thought to herself,
‘What’s with this bad premonition? Is something going to happen? Hmm? Wait a second…’ Suddenly, realization dawned upon her.
‘I can’t let this happen!’
Without saying anything to the people and thinking further, she vanished from her spot immediately.
The people below were left surprised as they saw her leave so suddenly. But they didn’t think much as they felt she must’ve had some urgent things to do. The people went about their ways and got busy with their work again.
