On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Early in the morning, Aria was preparing to go to work with her mother. Her expression wasn't good, as her face looked like she hadn't slept all night.

Dark circles framed her tired eyes, and her normally radiant smile was nowhere to be se.

Well, who could blame her?

Last night her mother got a call from Emilia telling her that Ch Tian was staying at her place for 3 days to study for the college exams, which her mother agreed to.

"Mother doesn't know yet that these two are dating," Aria thought to herself.

Ch Ying remained oblivious to the truth; had she known, she would have never agreed to stay with Ch Tian.

"Frustrating bastard. I hope he drops dead." Aria muttered under her breath, her anger towards Ch Tian growing with each passing momt.

"Hah——Why am I ev acting like that? This has never happed before."

She had never expericed such emotions toward Ch Tian.

To her, he was nothing more than a little brother, as she had witnessed him grow up since he was a child.

"Was it because of that day?" Aria pondered siltly in her mind, wondering if it was all connected to that particular day.

Recalling the incidt inside Ch Tian's room, Aria's cheeks flushed with embarrassmt.

"What am I ev thinking!" Aria told herself, shaking her head in an attempt to banish the thought.

"It's of my concern," she reassured herself as she readied for work.

It was still in the morning, a perk of having her mother as the company owner.

Unlike us common folk, who had to be at work by 8 a.m., she didn't have such a rigid schedule.

Descding the stairs, Aria discovered her mother already seated, joying her morning coffee and grossed in reading the newspaper.

"Good morning, mom." Aria greets her mother with a smile as she pours herself a cup of coffee.

Her mother glanced up from her newspaper and returned the greeting with a nod.

"Good morning, dear," Ch Ying said, her voice filled with warmth and affection.

"Are you going with me today?" Ch Ying asked if Aria was going to work with her.

"Yes, mom, I still have some work to finish up," Aria replied, while taking a sip of her coffee

"Hm?

Mom, where is Lg Zhiqing?"

Looking a, Aria noticed that her little sister, Lg Zhiqing, wasn't prest.

"Your sister is still in her room; she mtioned that she doesn't want to eat,"

"Is she unwell?" Aria exclaimed, her eyes widing with concern.

"I don't think so, she said she's fine; she only wanted some time alone," Ch Ying explained, trying to reassure her daughter.

"Well, that girl was behaving oddly last night," Ch Ying observed, her brows furrowing in bewildermt.

"She remained unusually quiet and appeared deep in thought...

You were also quite abst-minded yesterday. Are both of you sisters hiding something from me?" Ch Ying inquired, her voice tinged with concern.

Aria's eyes darted nervously to the floor, unsure of how to respond. "N-No, Mom, we're not hiding anything," she finally managed to say, her voice quivering slightly.

Ch Ying observed her daughter's face closely, searching for any traces of deceit.

Finding , she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I believe in both of you. But if anything is troubling either of you, always remember that I'm here to support you," she assured them with a comforting smile.

"Yes, mom," Aria nodded.

Aria sighed with relief as she thought to herself, "Phew, Mom didn't notice anything." She felt grateful that her mother hadn't become suspicious.

"I must be cautious not to reveal anything," she reminded herself, determined to keep this matter away from her mother.

Aria and Ch Ying gaged in a conversation about work-related matters, with Aria in charge of her own group and project she was also busy.

"Time to head out; I have an important meeting today," Ch Ying stated.

"Sure," Aria replied with a nod, as they both readied themselves to depart.

|Tringg|

Suddly, the door of the mansion began to ring, abruptly halting their actions.

Aria and Ch Ying exchanged perplexed glances before Aria hurriedly made her way to answer the door.

"Who could be visiting at this early hour?" Ch Ying mused aloud.

Aria swung the door op, only to be tak aback by the unexpected visitor.

It felt as though an angel had descded upon them, her blonde hair and yellowish eyes exuding a radiant glow.

She wore a stunning one-piece dress that complemted her gold locks, and ev the sun seemed to yield to her brilliance, paling in comparison.

Aria was surprised by the woman's flawless and smooth skin that wouldn't change with time.

"Good morning~~" Emilia greeted cheerfully, standing before the door with a bright smile on her face.

Aria and Ch Ying were tak aback by her sudd and unexpected appearance. "Emilia! What brings you here?" Aria asked, a mixture of surprise and confusion evidt in her tone.

"Ch Tian isn't at home; he's actually at your place. So did you come to see Lg Zhiqing." Aria asked.

Emilia giggled playfully, responding, "Yes, and I specifically came to see you, sister Aria." With a mischievous grin, Emilia playfully pointed her finger at Aria.

"Me?" Aria pointed to herself, still trying to grasp the idea that Emilia had made the effort to visit their house to see her.

"But why?" she inquired, her curiosity thoroughly piqued.

"Well, that is a surprise, but before anything else, let's go and meet Lg Zhiqing; both of you need to be there," Emilia suggested, taking the lead towards Lg Zhiqing's room.

Not forgetting to grasp Aria's hand, she surprised Aria with the gesture.

"Wa-Wait, I still have work..." Aria stammered, expressing her hesitation.

"Aria, you can take the day off; don't worry about work," Ch Ying reassured with a warm smile.

"Look, sister Aria, this is the perfect chance to relax and take care of yourself. You can work tomorrow, but for today, I need you to go with me." Emilia spoke.

"But...!"

Emilia th insisted on dragging Aria up to Lg Zhiqing's room.

"Sigh..." Ch Ying sighed as she watched Emilia pull Aria away.

"These youngsters these days! Well, for an old woman like me, it's hard to keep up," Ch Ying chuckled to herself.

With that, Ch Ying left the house and headed to the company, leaving the kids alone.
