Chapter 1939: Eri: Mom, Be Normal! (Second Update, Request Subscription)

"There's another me in the group?!"

Sawamura Sayuri blinked. "Another Eri?"

"What's going on?"

She was incredibly curious.

But her body felt slightly unwell.

After the bone-marrow cleansing and meridian purification, her skin was covered in dead skin and greasy black ash.

"Let me clean up first, then I'll explain in detail."

Eri nodded: "Mm, Mom, go take a shower first. I need to think carefully about how to tell you."

Sawamura Sayuri hurried off, unusually flustered.

How amazing!

She never expected to encounter the extraordinary in her lifetime.

Moments later.

In front of the bathroom mirror, Sayuri stared at the girl in the reflection, her face filled with delight.

Bright eyes full of charm, a sweet smile, skin like jade, delicate enough to be pierced by a breath—truly a peerless beauty.

"Even prettier than in my youth!"

Sawamura Sayuri sighed, dried her hair, then rushed back to Eri's room.

At that moment, Eri had already turned on the light and was drawing; seeing Sayuri arrive, she immediately stopped her brush.

"Mom!"

Seeing Sayuri, Eri was momentarily stunned.

Even with no makeup, Mom's current appearance would be mistaken for her own sister.

"Lily, let's talk about the group's 203 incident."

Eri nodded: "The group? I only joined a few days ago…"

She recounted everything, big or small, exactly as it happened.

Though Eri was prickly and deceitful with strangers,

she was much better with her mother.

As long as she didn't bring up the things that embarrassed her, she was quite honest.

Eri never considered hiding such an important matter—she had already wanted her mother's advice.

After all, she was still young and lacked social experience.

"Another world's Eri? How interesting!"

"I never expected another world's Eri already had a man!"

Sawamura Sayuri sighed with a satisfied smile.

This silly child of mine—so much trouble. Doesn't she know it's hard to find a partner if you're only proud and not cute?

In plain terms: pride-and-shyness is out of fashion.

"Mom!"

Seeing Sayuri's expression, Eri was speechless and quickly reminded her, "Hurry up and think of a solution. Your daughter is right here, and the other world's Eri has nothing to do with you."

Sayuri chuckled softly: "This is actually great news for you. Look—someone as powerful as the Dao Lord would never normally associate with an ordinary person like you. But now, with another Eri, don't you have something to talk about with him?"

"Once you establish a connection with the Dao Lord, what do you have to worry about in the future?"

Eri was dumbfounded.

Something's off—nine-tenths, maybe even ten-tenths off.

How could Mom say something like that?

Until this moment, she had never imagined her mother could harbor ambitions of climbing the social ladder.

Seeing Eri's expression, Sayuri understood instantly and laughed: "Of course, I'm just joking. Whether you want to do it or not is entirely up to you, Lily."

Eri nodded: "By the way, I also told Akira and Kato Megumi about this…"

"Akira and Kato Megumi?" Sayuri frowned.

Eri added: "Mom, in our world, there's a story called 'The Loner Heroine.' They're the female lead and the supporting female character in that story…"

"A story?!"

"Then what about our Eri?"

Eri blushed: "I'm the supporting character too."

"Supporting character?"

Sayuri became interested, her eyes brimming with curiosity as she probed further.

Moments later.

Not only did she learn from Eri about the title "Defeated Dog Immortal," she also discovered the fact that the Sawamura family had only one daughter.

"Netizens really have good eyesight!"

Eri was speechless: "Mom, be serious! That's not a compliment. What's with that 'mother-daughter' thing? Isn't that only in adult manga?"

"Alright, it was just a joke," Sayuri laughed lightly, a hint of pride in her voice. "It proves Mom's still got it."

Thinking again of Eri's "Defeated Dog Immortal" title, and recalling her pitiful combat power, Sayuri could barely hold back—her shoulders shook.

Seeing her mother struggling to suppress laughter, Eri covered her face: "I should've never told you. You're mocking me!"

"Pfft!"

"It's just too funny!"

Sawamura Sayuri burst out laughing: "I never expected my daughter to be so famous in other worlds. Defeated Dog Immortal—hahahaha!"

Eiri's whole face went ashen.

After a while, Sayuri stopped and got down to business.

"Lily, telling the two of them is fine. You don't have much fighting power anyway, so why not lure them both to the Great Luo Heaven, and then just sit back and reap the rewards."

"Huh...?" Eiri stared blankly. "I have to go too?"

"You don't have to go." Sayuri sighed. "But if those two women get involved with the Dao Sovereign, that would be a good thing for you too. Just having even a little connection with the Dao Sovereign is something other people would beg for and never get!"

Eiri nodded, her spirits somewhat low.

As a student, honestly speaking, she didn't care for this sort of social niceties and worldly ways.

In her view, social niceties and worldly ways were simply a disgrace to the human world.

But she also understood that her mother was right.

This left her deeply conflicted.

"Forget it, I'll say something to Kasumigaoka and Katou tomorrow. Anyway, the Dao Sovereign won't force anyone, so I'll let them decide for themselves."

Sawamura Sayuri sat dazed for a while longer, chatted with Eiri a bit, taught her some manners for dealing with people, and only then took her leave.

If it were in her own world, a daughter being a little impolite wasn't a big deal.

With the Sawamura family combined with the Spencer family's background, they counted as an upper-class family in Sakura Country, so a daughter being slightly lacking in etiquette wasn't anything serious.

But in the myriad heavens, it would be different.

Divine spirits!

Although Sayuri couldn't imagine the strength of such beings, the moment she thought of myths and legends, she knew these were people absolutely not to be offended.
