Chapter 1245: Chapter 1232 “Mother’s Kindness and Filial Piety Chapter 1245: Chapter 1232 “Mother’s Kindness and Filial Piety “Kid, you’re being such a jerk!”

On a high-speed monorail train spanning nearly a hundred meters on the elevated track, a girl with flowing golden hair sitting beside a dark-haired child with golden pupils muttered.

“What did I do?” the child asked, lifting his head in surprise, somewhat confused.

“I mean that student of yours, don’t you think you went a bit too far with what you did?”

“How did I go too far? I allowed him to go home to visit his friends and family, gave him plenty of time, and after he returned, I even lent him the Divine Armor. As a teacher, I have been thoroughly responsible and diligent towards this student.”

“Don’t play dumb with me; I saw everything. When you dragged him back, he was lying next to a naked girl, right? According to their world, that’s his girlfriend. Snatching him back at such a time, that’s pretty low.”

“I gave him one day, I was merely sticking to the time allocated.” Muria would certainly not admit it; after all, he is a Benevolent Dragon who possesses the virtues of honesty, credibility, kindness, and humility, capable of serving as a standard for moral excellence.

“Give it a rest, we’ve known each other long enough. I have some idea of what sort of individual you are. You did it on purpose, didn´t you?”

“Can´t be bothered to talk to you.” Muria closed his eyes.

“Your student was fuming when you brought him back, and then you conveniently mentioned lending him the Divine Armor, leaving him without a word of complaint.”

The slow-on-the-uptake Areina analyzed thoughtfully, “The reason you did this is most likely out of jealousy. After all, your student gets to be affectionate with his girlfriend, while you don’t even know where your partner is.”

“Don’t you think you talk too much? If you’re really bored, I can find something for you to do.”

Muria opened his eyes and turned to look at the girl who was speaking unwelcome truths.

“No, I’m not bored. I can meditate.” The girl stared at by Muria shrank her head subconsciously, lacking the imposing demeanor of the Golden Dragon Mother.

“By the way, are we really going to look for that fleet from the Yuguang Civilization?”

Muria’s peace was soon disturbed again by the girl’s unusually strong curiosity.

“Yes.”

“What exactly are you planning to do?”

“Nothing, just to have a look.”

“Really?”

“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t interfere with the course of the world’s creatures.”

“Although that sounds cool, you’re being too dramatic. You have no idea how many creatures you’ve already interfered with.”

“As I said, under normal circumstances. In special situations, of course, I would need to take action,” Muria said, with veins throbbing on his forehead, enunciating every word. If it were not for the girl’s special identity, he would certainly have tossed her far away.

…

“Wow, it’s unbelievable that this thing is man-made. The longer I stay with you, son, the more I feel grateful for having left home to follow you—it was definitely the right decision.”

In the desolate Gobi Desert, the young girl looked up in amazement at the moth-shaped battleship fleet hanging above, so vast that one couldn’t see its end at a glance.

By her side, thousands of backpackers who had specifically come to see the starships were scattered sparsely around. These were individuals filled with a sense of adventure, curiosity, or a taste for the novel. Some of them had traveled great distances just to witness the fleet of a higher civilization.

The reason why this bleak expanse of the Gobi had been chosen was due to this mysterious higher civilization fleet setting up camp in this rarely trodden desert. Their declared reason was to minimally interfere with the development of the local civilization.

“Was this your own decision? It was clearly because of my martial threat that you reluctantly followed me.”

Muria glanced askance at Areina, finally finding in the girl something that resembled his mother, Dragon mother Atreus—not having any shame. Even though it wasn’t her merit, she was brazenly taking the credit for herself.

“It’s all the same; there’s no difference. No matter how twisted the process, the outcome is what’s most important,” the girl, Areina, said with a shameless expression.

Even though Muria felt that the girl’s shamelessness was influenced by his mother, Golden Dragon Mother, he had forgotten the proverb “A man is known by the company he keeps.”

“Heh,” Muria chuckled coldly, not wanting to waste time on this issue with the girl who had somehow become quite shameless. “Prepare yourself mentally, I’m going to take you up there for a look soon.”

“Eh, is that okay? Don’t mess around! With the power to construct such a massive flying fortress, please don’t provoke them so easily; it could easily bring disaster.”

The girl, who had thought Muria was just bringing her to have a look and then leave, was suddenly alarmed by his words.

Huge artificial objects always deliver the most direct shock, inspiring awe from the very depths of one’s heart, and at this moment, the girl, Areina, was thoroughly shaken.

Although she had followed Muria on travels through various domains of the great world and had seen many natural wonders shaped by the ghostly hand of nature, it was precisely because of this that she knew the terror of these battleships before her, a man-made miracle capable of surpassing most natural spectacles.

“I understand the simple principle of seeking advantages and avoiding harm, but these toys are just intimidating to look at; they are not within my range of things to avoid.”

Muria grabbed the girl’s hand, only to face the most vigorous struggle and resistance from her that he had ever encountered.

“Son, let go of me. If you want to go, go by yourself. Don’t drag me into this. If something goes wrong, with your strength, you’ll surely be able to escape easily, but I’ll be done for.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? You’re my mother. If something happened, how could I possibly run away, leaving you behind?”

Muria’s seemingly small stature extended just one hand and firmly grasped the girl, who was bending her body and trying to break free with her body weight.

“Well then, as a mother, I shouldn’t be a drag on my son’s strides. I’ll stay here; you go on your own.” Despite her futile resistance, the girl kept on struggling.

“No, no matter where and when, I want to keep you by my side.”

“What are you worried about? Do you think I would run away? I’m a stranger in a strange land; how could I possibly run off?”

“Do you think I can’t protect your safety? That’s why you don’t want to go with me,” Muria raised his eyebrows slightly. “You’re questioning my strength? Fine then, I’ll just bring down a few of those pieces of junk to show you.”
