Husband or son?

Long Wanhui dared not think about Xia Tian's words.

The latter however was ready to strike again, "Mother, what you have is not a curse, it is something else. Its effect is quite simple, you won't be able to touch another man for the whole of your life that includes father. The only man you can touch without getting backlash is me... This is why I asked, whom will you choose over me and father."

He explained.

Long Wanhui knitted her brows.

Initially, she did not believe his words but seeing his serious look, she turned pensive.

If what he said is right, doesn't it mean she has to live her entire life without any sexual pleasure?

It's not like she can't get it, but the only man she can touch was her son.

The very thought of doing this with him, made her mind explode.

She would rather live without any sexual interaction than do it with her son.

She is not that immoral.

No, before that how does he know it?

"How do you know about this curse, Tian?"

She asked with suspicion.

Xia Tian smiled mysteriously. "Can't tell. But it can't be healed."

Long Wanhui frowned.

Why can't he tell her?

He was hiding things from her, she did not like it at all.

But then, she thought deeply and her face turned complicated while looking at him.

"Will something bad happen to you, if you tell me the origin of it?"

She asked the most likely answer.

The only reason she can think of Xia Tian not revealing the origin of the curse was that something was placed on his body that will trigger if he opens his mouth.

The old fox did not know how she arrived at this conclusion, but since everything was going fine, it continued to act.

"Yes... A lot of bad things will happen." with a sad expression, he muttered softly.

[A/N: The curse will be explained later.]

As for what bad will happen to him, he simply won't get to enjoy his mother...

So yes, it was indeed bad!

Once again, Xia Tian wasn't lying.

Long Wanhui expression changed, she looked guilty of doubting his intentions.

He was only trying to help her.

Since she can't have any physical contact with a man while she is inflicted by this strange disease, he was only suggesting that he can help her out.

This is why he was spouting this strange nonsense from earlier and asked whether she loved Xia Leng or not.

As for the curse, he can't tell her because it will harm him.

Long Wanhui made so many assumptions in her mind, her gaze softened as she stared at his face.

Xia Tian only blinked his eyes, with an innocent look as if he did not say earlier words at all.

After seeing his innocent, face Long Wanhui felt even more guilty.

But she is not a bad mother to sacrifice him just for her sexual pleasure.

She sighed softly.

"Tian, there is no need to worry about it. Mother can deal with it herself."

She caressed his face slowly with her fingers and spoke in a soft voice.

Xia Tian, however, wasn't the one to leave this opportunity.

He stood up from her lap and kneeled on the couch next to her.

??

Long Wanhui felt confused by his actions.

Before she can part her lips, Xia Tian stretched out his hands and cupped her face.

"Mother! Father will not care about it. It is fine if we do it, it must feel uncomfortable restraining your desire for this long."

He said with a serious face.

Long Wanhui sighed in her heart.

Just as she thought, he was actually caring about her.

"You don't understand Tian, it is not about that."

"If not then, then what it i-"

"Shh! Don't speak anymore. No more discussion on this topic."

Long Wanhui placed a finger above his lips, she was already feeling uncomfortable facing his gaze.

"But-"

"No, buts! Don't speak about it."

Xia Tian tried to retort, but once again she told him not to say anything.

She really felt bad doing this.

Xia Tian was asking it out of care for her.

But, he did not understand, what consequences will it bring if the news were to leak out.

It was better to just forget about today's conversation and pretend as if nothing happened.

Just as Long Wanhui felt everything was over, Xia Tian moved closer to her.

"You look, beautiful mother."

She felt his hot breath all over her face, her whole body trembled at once.

Seeing Xia Tian from birth, he was used to his handsome same, however, if he did acts like this even she got flustered.

Her heartbeat suddenly increased, and a crazy thought came to her mind.

Xia Tian's hands left her face and caught her both hands pinning them backward.

His eyes stared at her with passion.

"Mother you need to choose, there is no cure for this curse... I understand everything, nobody will care about it. We can shut up their mouths... You don't need to hold yourself any longer..."

He said gently and his face moved ever closer to her.

Long Wanhui panicked.

She attempted to free her hands, 'T-Tian it is hurting me, let me go!"

Her voice was ignored by Xia Tian, only an inch distance was remaining between their lips.

Long Wanhui panicked, her eyes lashes trembling heavily.

Suddenly, with a swift motion, she freed her hands and pushed him away.

"I said no!"

She screamed out of instinct and afterward calmed down her rough breathing.

Her eyes had an aggrieved look, she never thought he will become this pushy with her.

'Why is he behaving so abnormally? He was never like this! Ugh! Why did I even allow him to come this close to me.'

With her strength, she could have long pushed him away, but the woman realized that she didn't.

She also started being curious about it midway.

But right when she saw his face, she instantly regretted her actions.

Her desire had been locked from eighteen years, she was worried about it suddenly flaring up.

Out of fear, she pushed Xia Tian away.

Fortunately, she did not use her cultivation.

Xia Tian fell backward on the couch, with one hand he established himself by placing it on the floor, and by with the help of another hand he slowly stood up.

He glanced at her red lips and smiled inwardly.

The woman was already at her wit's ends, if he pushed a bit more she would give in...

However, he did not just want to fuck her but rather destroy her belief and choose him over Xia Leng.

If he just wanted to fuck her, he could have long done it instead of putting up this long act.

He pretended to be hurt by her actions and stood up.

With a self-deprecating look, he spoke. "It's ok, it was my mistake."

Saying this, he turned around and was ready to leave.

Long Wanhui body jerked and she stood up instantly.

"Wait! I don't mean that."

She spoke in an attempt to halt him.

The whole place fell into suffocating silence.

All she saw was Xia Tian's whole body trembling when she said those words.

Xia Tian was the first one to break the silence.

"It's okay, I understand mother. I shouldn't have done that."

Saying this help walked away.

The old fox was too good at pretending to be sad.

Long Wanhui was left in solitude.

Her heart felt curshed by thousand of kgs of weight when he uttered those words.

She felt he was truly hurt by her rejection.

She sighed helplessly.

'No, this was also important.'

Once again, she affirmed her decision, if she let Xia Tian move further then it would be the point of no return.

As her mother it was her responsibility to educate her, she can't lose her reasoning and surrender to her urges.

However, just as she was rationalizing her decision, she heard the noise of something falling.

She lifted her face, and a voice unconsciously escaped her lips.

"What!"

Instantly, she run in front of her and noticed Xia Tian's unconscious body laying on the floor, her whole body fell drenched by cold water and a fear that she can never imagine assaulted her brain.

"T-Tian..."

With trembling hands, she touched his back and channeled the flow of qi through her body.

A moment after she sighed in relief.

"Sigh, he has only over-exhausted himself."

It looks like, he was fine, he only collapsed due to over-exertion.

As for what led him to it... There was a wild guess in Long Wanhui's mind that led her face blush with deep red.

Xia Tian was with four women before coming here.

The only plausible conclusion that came to her mind was, that he over-exerted himself during sex.

Only if Xia Tian knew her thoughts, he would instantly stop pretending and stand up straight.

Long Wanhui exhaled and pulled Xia Tian's unconscious body back to her resting area.
