As soon as her voice fell, there was the sound of a door opening that rang out and the sounds of footsteps.
When they turned back, they saw that there was a beautiful woman walking in.
Between the two of them, if they were asked to identify the city lord, they definitely would have gone with the beautiful woman who walked in.
However, that beautiful woman came up to the little girl and gave a slight bow before saying, "Thank you city lord for giving me this opportunity."
The little girl just gave a nod before saying, "Don't leave any regrets, alright?"
The beautiful woman gave a nod before turning to look at us.
Though she was looking at us, it was clear by the direction that her eyes were looking in that she was looking at one person in particular.
This one person was sitting there staring back at her.
When the rest of Lin Fan's group stared at the two of them…they couldn't help feeling that these two seemed very similar!
Not just similar, it almost seemed like they were mother and daughter with how much they looked alike.
Plus the sensation that was coming from this beautiful woman…
After a long period of silence, Angela finally said, "Are you…"
She didn't finish her words, but the meaning behind them was clear.
The beautiful woman gave a nod before saying, "That's right, I am your mother."
Then to everyone's surprise, Angela suddenly gathered her life energy in her hand and formed a fist before punching out at this beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman didn't miss a beat as she also gathered her own life energy in her hand and raised her palm to block this punch.
Angela quickly turned before her punch hit that palm and she brought her fist down.
It had been aimed at the beautiful woman's face, but now she was trying to punch the beautiful woman's stomach.
The beautiful woman twisted with her and her palm came down to block the punch.
There was no impact at all, there was just the force behind the punch being completely negated. There wasn't even a single shockwave that came out like it normally should have.
It was clear that this beautiful woman had perfectly countered out Angela's attack.
But at the very least, it was also clear that she didn't have any intentions of hurting Angela.
With the difference in cultivation, she could have easily injured Angela in this clash if she wasn't careful. However, she had made sure to perfectly control her power so that she wouldn't hurt her.
If she had any ill intentions, she wouldn't have done that.
But then again, this beautiful woman had said that she was Angela's mother, so that wasn't strange.
Everyone just watched as the two of them continued to go at each other.
One side kept releasing punches while the other side blocked with their palm.
It didn't seem like it would end any time soon, but then Angela suddenly let out a deep breath.
It turned out that she had been putting on a strong appearance this whole time, but in reality, she was already running out of energy.
It seemed that she had put quite an amount of power into each of her punches.
With this panting, she stopped throwing out more punches, but that didn't stop her from glaring at the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman just had an awkward look on her face as she looked at Angela, not knowing what to do.
So the two of them just stood there awkwardly facing each other, with neither of them knowing what to do.
In the end, Angela looked over at Lin Fan for help.
Lin Fan gave a sigh and walked over to stand in between them before saying, "How about we all calm down first? I think we've become a bit too agitated, so let's sit and have some tea."
The beautiful woman was about to say something, but when she saw the way that Angela just simply nodded in agreement, she couldn't help being stunned. She looked carefully at Lin Fan, trying to figure out who he was.
Was he using some kind of special restraining spell against her daughter, or was it something else?
But eventually she was able to understand what it was based on the way that Angela looked at Lin Fan.
When she saw this, she couldn't help revealing an unhappy look.
But she still followed them and sat down on the sofa opposite them.
The little girl just revealed a faint smile and poured a cup of tea for that beautiful woman, though she didn't even bother taking a sip. She had been glaring at Lin Fan and Angela the entire time.
Angela had been ignoring it, but eventually she couldn't take it anymore and said, "What do you want?"
When the beautiful woman heard the cold voice that she spoke in, she couldn't help being taken aback.
This was definitely not the way that she thought that this reunion would go…
Lin Fan could tell that this wasn't going well, so he took the initiative to break the tension by saying, "Now, now, there's no need to be so tense. Let's just slowly talk this out."
Angela looked at him without any expressions on her face, but the secret way that she was pinching him made it very clear what she was thinking.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile, but he didn't say anything else as he waited for the beautiful woman to speak.
The beautiful woman had moved her gaze over from Angela to Lin Fan now.
Her eyes were narrowed as she glared at Lin Fan, as if trying to figure something out.
Finally she said, "Who are you to my daughter?"
Before Lin Fan could answer, Angela said, "Who else would he be? I think that it's already very clear."
Lin Fan just had the same bitter smile, but he gave a nod to agree with what she had said.
The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes even more when she heard this and this time, she even started putting pressure on Lin Fan.
When he felt this pressure fall on him, Lin Fan couldn't help shrinking back in the seat.
If it was anyone else, he might be able to withstand it since he was slowly adapting to the pressure of God Realm Experts. But this person was his mother in law and the way that she was judging him…put a lot of pressure on him.
Angela quickly snapped, "What does it matter to you? You were never there for any moments in my life, so it isn't as if you can start acting like a mother now."
The pressure instantly disappeared after she said this.
The beautiful woman revealed a crushed look on her face, but she didn't refute this since Angela was right.
It really was hard for her to be called a mother since she had never been there for Angela.
After her expression changed a few times, the beautiful woman said, "There's a reason for that…I, I…"
Her voice trailed off as her expression kept changing.
It was as if there was something that she wanted to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
With the way that she looked, it was almost as if she felt like all this was doing was making an excuse.
Instead of anyone else saying anything, it was the little girl who spoke this time by saying, "Your mother had a reason for doing this. It's the rules of the World of Gods, you're not allowed to stay in the mortal world. The only time that she went down was to deliver you to her ancestral home."
Angela revealed a bitter look as she said, "You mean the time that she abandoned me."
There was even more pain that appeared on the face of the beautiful woman when she heard this.
The little girl just calmly said, "Do you know why she left you in the mortal world?"
Angela turned to look at her before slowly shaking her head.
The little girl said, "If she didn't leave you in the mortal world, you wouldn't have survived."
The beautiful woman was about to say something, but the little girl shook her head at her to make her fall silent.
She turned back to Angela to say, "If she hadn't left you in the mortal world, you would have died."
All of Lin Fan's group couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.
Seeing the look on their faces, the little girl gave a sigh and said, "This is why I say explain everything properly."
With another sigh, she explained the situation.
It turned out that spirits were different from other creatures, they were born very weak and they became stronger as time passed.
But because they were weak, they couldn't remain in the World of Gods or they would be destroyed by the pressure here.
The only choice was to send them down to the ancestral home of spirits, which was the World of Elements that Lin Fan had visited before.
That was where the beautiful woman had once reigned as queen and now it was Angela's turn to reign as queen.
But that didn't mean that the beautiful woman was willing…
She had been waiting for Angela to come see her all this time.
After learning all of this, they couldn't help looking at this beautiful woman with a strange look.
She just looked at Angela and said, "Now that you're here, I can finally do what I need to do. I will transfer my powers to you."
