Demonic Cultivation? Mo Dao Zu Shi

Mama

Wei Ying intently listened to Yuxuan as she explained her hobbies.

Wei Ying, "what's a piano?"

A-Xuan, "A piano is basically this huge wooden thing that-"

Suddenly, "A-Xuan! What is taking you so long! It's been an hour since you went to take a shower! I'm coming up there!"

Yuxuan's eyes widened when she heard her mother's voice.

Yuxuan, "Shit! You need to hide. Go under the bed!"

Wei Wuxian, "It's fine, I'll just turn myself invisible using my invisibility talisman."

Yuxuan eyes the yellow paper Wei Ying pulled out of thin air and sighed.

Yuxuan, "okay, do whatever you want, but hide quickly! My mother will kill me if she sees a man in my room."

Just as the door handle turned, Wei Ying had disappeared. Yuxuan's mother strutted into the room looking furious.

"Yuxuan! Can't you get ready any more faster! The others are waiting. Come on! Fix your hair and come downstairs. It's time for breakfast. We have to go down to our Ancestral Hall today to clean up the place. Let's go! Stop being so lazy!"

Wei Wuxian shuddered at the sound of Yuxuan's mom's voice. The decibel and fury in her voice reminded him too much of Madam Yu. The way she yelled at Yuxuan and threatened to punish her hit too close to home.

A-Xuan kept her head bent and didn't dare look up at her mother when she replied with, "Okay mama. I'll come down in a minute."

Wei Ying frowned at their interaction.

I guess the Lan Clan's ruthless punishments and their way of invalidating their disciples got carried down. But, it seems the "no yelling" rule didn't survive very long.

Wei Ying chuckled at this thought.

A-Xuan's mother, "What was that?"

A-Xuan, "What was what?"

A-Xuan's mother, "Someone laughed."

A-Xuan, "What? I didn't hear anything."

A-Xuan's mother, "No, I heard someone chuckle. It sounded really deep like a man-"

"Meimei! Can you come down here! I need help loading this into the van!" one of A-Xuan's uncles yelled from downstairs. (A/N: Meimei means little sister)

A-Xuan's mother sighed and yelled back, "I'm coming gege!"

She turned back to A-Xuan and said, "get ready quickly. We'll be leaving in a couple minutes. Also, once you're done, get your brother as well. Only the Lord knows what he's doing. All I've heard from his room are gunshots."

A-Xuan, "Okay mama."

A-Xuan's mother left the room and ran down the stairs muttering swears when her brother called for her again.

A-Xuan turned around furiously, "what the fuck! Why did you laugh?! I told you, my mom would kill me if she saw you!"

Wei Wuxian took the talisman off of his body and turned himself visible again, "I'm sorry! I just remembered something funny!"

A-Xuan, "really? That's your defense for almost getting me beaten up?"

Wei Ying, "I mean, yeah."

A-Xuan glared a Wei Ying and turned around, sighing. "I don't have the energy to fight with you anymore. I have to leave now or else I'll be in even bigger trouble."

Wei Ying, "wait, you're leaving? What about me?"

A-Xuan, "what about you? Just stay here and don't touch anything."

Wei Ying, "no! I wanna come too!"

A-Xuan, "are you crazy? Absolutely not! What if someone sees you? You won't even fit in the van anyway. Every single one of my relatives are coming and there are only two mini vans."

Wei Ying, "first of all, what a van? Second of all, I'll just hide myself again. No one will see me."

A-Xuan, "a van is a transportation cart, like a bullock cart. And people I'll definitely suspect an open seat they can't sit on."

Wei Ying, "then I'll just sit on the roof! I have good balance, I won't fall."

A-Xuan, "no. No means no. You will stay here and you will not touch anything. Be obedient or I'll throw you out onto the streets for you to suffer through understanding the 21st century by yourself."

Wei Ying pouted and frowned at A-Xuan, but eventually said "fine."

A-Xuan smirked triumphantly and grabbed her bag. She stuffed her phone and AirPods into her pocket and walked out of the room and down the stairs.

What she didn't see was Wei Ying smirking behind her and scratching his nose with his finger.

Oh A-Xuan. You haven't met the real Wei Wuxian yet.
