General Mo Learns Parenting Knowledge

Ye Mo had no idea that Yu He had already distanced herself from Yu Fengqi and Yuan Lili. It seemed even she couldn’t stand her parents anymore. Yuan Lili, though still obsessed with maintaining her image, had long lost any sense of purity. No matter how hard she tried to save face, it was too late.

Truthfully, Ye Mo never regarded Yu Fengqi as her father, so she had no real emotional attachment to him. It wasn’t that Ye Mo lacked a sense of family. She simply returned what she received. Just as Aunt Yu gave her love and care, she reciprocated with the same. Since Ye Mo had learned about emotions from the Dark Realm, apart from having a little affection for that old guy, her significant bonds had been with Qin Lin and Mo Mo. Without them, she wouldn’t have even ventured into the interstellar realms.

Her connection with her grandmother had been driven by the original Ye Mo’s lingering affection. But after her grandmother’s change in behaviour, Ye Mo felt only a mild sadness—nothing overwhelming. Now, with her own family, Ye Mo had no further expectations from others.

Watching her children play in the courtyard and then glancing at her aunt’s new home, Ye Mo called out, “Guaiguai, it’s time to go home!”

As soon as she called, Guaiguai, the eldest, quickly gathered his younger siblings. He had a natural leadership quality. With his call, all the younger ones obediently followed him on their way home.

On the way, Beibei pouted and grumbled, “Just telling us to leave won’t stop us. We can still see everything from afar if we want.”

As soon as Beibei finished speaking, he noticed his mom wave her hand, and suddenly Aunt Yu’s courtyard was enclosed by a protective barrier.

Beibei was speechless, “Mom, I was just saying!”

Ye Mo turned to him. “You said it, so I took it seriously. We need proper defences in place.”

Quickly, she tossed out a stack of formation talismans, and soon the entire treehouse neighbourhood was enveloped in transparent shields.

Guaiguai glanced at his little brother, who shuddered under the gaze. Beibei knew better than to say anything else for fear of being scolded by his eldest brother.

Noticing their interaction, Ye Mo frowned. Her six children were still so young, but their cultivation levels were already quite high. She wondered how much trouble they might have gotten into with their powers.

When they arrived home, Ye Mo set up several more layers of formations around their house. These weren’t meant to keep others out but to stop the six kids from spying on everything.

The Mo family treehouse has four levels. The first floor is the living room, the second floor is Ye Mo and General Mo’s room, and the third floor is divided into separate rooms for the three daughters. The top floor belonged to the three boys.

At that moment, Beibei stood before his two older brothers, head lowered as they scolded him.

“How could you be so dumb? The things you accidentally saw—I had already helped you suppress them. And now, you’ve gone and admitted everything?” Guaiguai looked at his younger brother speechlessly. If his little brother hadn’t been so curious and accidentally seen those things, they wouldn’t have had to investigate further. As a result, the three brothers were now aware of things they shouldn’t know.

They were still too young to fully understand what they had seen, but their mother likely thought they all had indulged in it.

“Big brother, we were implicated by this kid. We clearly didn’t see anything!” Baobao, the second brother, complained, feeling wronged.

“Forget it. Since Mom has taken precautions now, I won’t bother with you two. As long as our little sisters don’t find out, I don’t care.” Guaiguai was determined to protect his sisters from such matters.

He will protect his three younger sisters!

He let out a quiet sigh, hoping his mother would hear his resolve and be less angry. Although his two younger brothers couldn’t sense their mother’s spiritual awareness, he had felt it subtly.

Guaiguai knew his mom had allowed him to sense it, probably to gauge his response.

When Mo Mo returned that evening, Ye Mo informed him of the situation. Upon hearing Guaiguai’s words, Mo Mo was impressed. “Not bad. The kid knows how to protect his younger sisters.”

Ye Mo resisted the urge to roll her eyes. He is missing the point! Shouldn’t he be more concerned that his son knows too much?

Mo Mo pinched Ye Mo’s angry face. “Why are you so upset? Guaiguai has already handled it, and you’ve put up protections. Now every household has a barrier, so there’s no need to worry about them wandering into places they shouldn’t with their spiritual consciousness.”

Ye Mo sighed. “There should be rules about these things.”

“Of course, there are rules in the cultivation world. There are places where you’re not allowed to use your spiritual senses carelessly.”

Ye Mo tilted her head, eyeing Mo Mo suspiciously. “Wait, you knew about their spying habits from the beginning, didn’t you?”

Mo Mo chuckled. “Guaiguai already took care of it. Besides, if we intervene too much, they’ll only become more curious, don’t you think?”

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow. “Have you been reading parenting books?”

Mo Mo shook his head. “Not exactly. I’ve been reading some parenting advice from the mortal world. Turns out, some of their ideas make a lot of sense.” He had also read guides on how to win his wife’s heart, though he’d never admit it. On the contrary, he had already taken a fancy to his own Momo for a long time, so he thought it would be good for him to learn more.

Despite his casual tone, Ye Mo knew he had likely studied extensively. Though he played it off as no big deal, she wasn’t entirely convinced.

Mo Mo, noticing her scepticism, sighed and patted her head. He was reminded of his grandfather’s stern words from his past life: “Study well. This is the basic skill you’ll need to care for your wife and children. The Mo family legacy cannot end with you. You only get one shot at finding a wife—don’t mess it up.”

“Always treat your wife well, understand? That’s Grandpa’s golden rule.”

These memories had only resurfaced after he recovered his past life’s memories. But even before then, he had instinctively started reading about parenting and marriage. It seemed his subconscious had been preparing him all along.

“Alright, darling, it’s time for bed. Stop overthinking.” Mo Mo pulled Ye Mo into bed, grateful that he had always activated a barrier in their room to prevent the kids from seeing anything they shouldn’t.

Mo Mo’s hand itched to give Beibei a lesson. That little rascal—he had a feeling Beibei would be the most mischievous one of them all.
