Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Divine Pupil’s True Power
"Okay, my son. Rest early." Lin Yunzhu lightly patted the now-soft cock with her fingertips and spoke in a gentle, motherly tone.
"Wait." Zhou Feng hadn’t expected things to end so quickly. He couldn’t help stopping her.
"What..." Lin Yunzhu looked up at her son. Her eyes gradually became dull and sluggish again as she slowly murmured, "What... is it?"
The moment their eyes met, a magical energy flowed through the invisible connection between them.
Zhou Feng could feel himself growing stronger. The bond with his mother had deepened noticeably.
Looking at his mother, who had clearly slipped back into a hypnotic state, Zhou Feng felt puzzled. According to the knowledge he had just gained, this shouldn’t have happened so easily.
Could it be that I missed something? he wondered. He could sense that touching her now would still wake her up, though perhaps not as quickly as before.
"Mom, you should lie down on the bed and rest for a while." Zhou Feng patted the mattress, careful not to touch her body directly.
"Yes."
Lin Yunzhu obediently got up, climbed onto Zhou Feng’s single bed, and lay down peacefully.
Zhou Feng pulled up his pants, walked over to his desk, and sat down. He picked up the notebook again and flipped through it carefully. Even after reading it a second time and gaining new insights, it still didn’t explain the current situation.
The text clearly stated that after the initial hypnosis cue took effect, repeating the command for seven days would deepen the hypnosis. Completely hypnotizing a person would take at least seven to seven hundred and forty-nine days.
Once fully hypnotized, the target would continuously supply him with mental power. The frequency with which he could issue new hypnotic commands would also increase, greatly improving his mental power recovery rate.
"But it clearly only took effect once just now," Zhou Feng thought. Yet he could distinctly feel a steady stream of energy flowing into him from his mother’s body.
Moreover, his mental power had already recovered somewhat. While he couldn’t perform another major hypnosis that completely rewrote her cognition right now, adding a few smaller suggestions was more than manageable.
He flipped through the notebook repeatedly but found no explanation. Then he suddenly remembered the small bottle.
He hadn’t examined its contents closely beyond the glass bead meant for his eye. What else might be inside?
Zhou Feng held the mouth of the small bottle up to his eye, but the opening was too narrow to see anything. Impatiently, he threw the bottle onto the floor and smashed it.
Two small strips of paper, tightly rolled up, fell out. Because the back sides were blank, he hadn’t noticed them before.
He unrolled the first note. A long paragraph was written on the thin paper:
"No one will agree, because this is the only successful product. But I think it is precisely because it is so special that it is worth trying."
"I added the powder of the relic despite their opposition, and the situation became very uncontrollable. Am I really wrong?"
"Shentong’s condition is getting worse and worse. I must find out the cause as soon as possible."
"Everyone is complaining about me in their hearts. I caused all of this, but I have already figured out the reason."
"The powder of the Golden Core is the key. As long as it neutralizes spiritual power, I will be the greatest genius of this era."
"The Divine Pupil has become stronger than ever before, but the conditions for absorbing it have also become extremely harsh—unless the subject is of the same bloodline, or an ancient immortal descends..."
The note read like diary entries, suggesting that this Divine Pupil had been further improved later on.
Curious, Zhou Feng opened the second note.
"Son, the Divine Pupil has become far stronger than I imagined. Do not feel sorry for yourself because of these years of mediocrity. To allow you to absorb the Divine Pupil, I could only do this."
"The current Divine Pupil can not only draw spiritual power from others but also absorb it. However, its main use remains spiritual attacks."
"It is still based on a seven-day cycle, but every day will deepen the hypnosis. Make good use of the additional shallow hypnosis state each day. I do not know more than this. Only the one who uses it in the future can truly understand..."
Zhou Feng put down the two sheets of paper and took a deep breath. This was truly an unparalleled birthday gift.
After cleaning up the shards of the broken bottle, Zhou Feng sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Sit up," he commanded.
"Yes."
Lin Yunzhu sat up cross-legged, facing him. Looking at his mother’s seductive figure beneath the thin silk pajamas, Zhou Feng’s mind filled with naughty thoughts once again.
But this time it was different from the earlier hypnosis. He was relying entirely on the mental power he had absorbed from her, and it wouldn’t last long.
Staring into his mother’s eyes, Zhou Feng silently tested several hints and commands in his mind, but none succeeded fully. He had to lower the intensity and choose the one he wanted most.
"I’m your son, right?"
"Yes."
"A mother should be with her son, right?"
"Yes."
"A mother should also stay with her son at night, right?"
"Yes."
"Mom, from now on you will fall asleep with me every night, right?"
"Yes... yes!"
After receiving confirmation that the hypnosis had taken hold, Zhou Feng felt a thrill of success.
Once the hypnosis was complete, he watched his mother’s state closely, eager to see her reaction.
Thanks to his first success, he now knew without a doubt that hypnosis was real and effective, so the previous anxiety was gone.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Yunzhu’s expression suddenly returned to normal. She looked at Zhou Feng and said, "Let’s go."
"Go? Where are we going?" Could the hypnosis have failed? Zhou Feng wondered nervously.
"Of course to my room. Your bed is so small—how can two people sleep here comfortably?" Lin Yunzhu said naturally.
"Mom, you’re confused. If we sleep together, why would there be a bed here? We sleep together anyway," Zhou Feng said, patting the mattress.
He had no intention of letting her drag him to the big bed in her room.
"This... you’re right. Hmm, it always feels a little strange, but anyway, since we sleep together, why keep a bed in my room?" Lin Yunzhu fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Oh, your sister sometimes wants to sleep with me too. It’s not enough space for three of us here," Lin Yunzhu suddenly realized.
Zhou Feng felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, the hypnotized mind would automatically fill in gaps to protect its own logic.
"That’s right. Okay Mom, let’s go to bed quickly. We’ll go out and have a good time tomorrow for National Day," Zhou Feng said, gently pressing down on his mother’s shoulders.
Lin Yunzhu was a bit curious why her son wanted to sleep so early today, but going to bed early was a good habit. She obediently lay down on his small single bed.
