Chapter 18
“I’m sorry to trouble you so much, Elder Liu,” Risless said. “We’ll leave tomorrow morning and I’ll take him back to that room.”
“I’ll tell everyone to pack up and leave tomorrow. I’ll also tell Sect Master Du that Dong Chen is having some issues with the environment here, and we’ll invite him to visit us the next time as an apology.”
“Thank you,” Risless said.
Risless left to go back to the room while Elder Liu stayed there looking at the half moon. Her robes fluttered in the air as she floated, looking down at the lights on the Red Wood Sect. She had lived for thousands of years as a cultivator and seen many things, yet this was a situation she never imagined she would walk across.
I have to get them to do what is forbidden; I don’t want to see Risless die before myself.

I woke up in the morning and ate breakfast with mom. I was well behaved. Involuntarily, but I couldn’t say anything back to her because my body was still under her full control. She took me to the toilet, but this time didn’t watch me. It was weird when she watched me yesterday.
There seemed to be a change with her. I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad change, but at least she respected my desire for privacy a bit more.
“Dong Chen… I’m sorry for doing this to you,” Mom said. “I know I’m forcing you to do all this and I’m treating you like a child. I know you aren’t a child and I can’t keep doing this to you. You didn’t grow up in the same environment as I did, but there are a lot of rules in this environment that have to be followed. Not showing respect to some individuals is grounds for death and people will kill others simply for a small provocation.”
Sounds like a cultivator world to me. Everyone has such thin skin until they’re killed by the protagonist, usually. Pathetic and most characters are one dimensional the majority of the time they are not interesting.
“I know you want to say something, you’re probably angry,” Mom said. “I know and I’m sorry. When we get back, I’ll take away all this involuntary behavior and I’ll let Elder Liu try to talk to you because you’re angry at me for doing this.”
Well, I am angry. I wish it never came to this, but I wonder why you can’t just tell me what the solution to this curse is. My life is basically over and I have no reason to live if I can’t the reason. You’re keeping me alive simply because you love me? Wouldn’t it be better for you to just end my life if I’m really suffering this way and unhappy?
I have to figure this out.
“I’m sorry, son,” she said hugging me. “I want to have a good relationship with you, but I don’t know how. I’m used to being the sect master and having everyone listen to what I say and not thinking about anything else. Since I was a child, everyone was trying to win my favor. Even your father was trying to win my favor when I took him to conceive you. You are different. You don’t try to win my favor. You don’t care for my favor. I thought I had to control you so I did this, but I discovered I don’t want to control you… I just want to make you happy and I don’t know how to do that. So please son, when we get back I’ll leave you alone for a few days. Please forgive me and talk to Elder Liu. I’ll try to change, son. I promise.”
You could start by taking out the control spell on me if you really want to be truly sorry about this. Something she was obviously not willing to do while I was in the Red Wood Sect.
I followed her the rest of the day as they made preparations to get on that wingless lizard, and then we shipped out through the air. I remained quiet under full control as we had an uneventful trip all the way back to the Blossoming Flowers Sect and there I was brough to my room.
Mom waved her hand, I felt the control leave me but suddenly I felt lethargic and went straight to bed locked in once more.
—
Risless and Elder Liu got together looking over Dong Chen, who was now fast asleep in his room. They locked the door as they left.
“The control over him exhausted him,” Risless said.
“Anything a cultivator does to manipulate a mortal will always cause the mortal to use up their energy to fight it,” Elder Liu answered. “You’re simply lucky you didn’t go further than controlling him and if he had fought it with everything he had he might have incurred mental damage.”
“I’m sorry,” Risless said. “I didn’t think I had a choice.”
“It’s fine for now,” Elder Liu told her. “Go and rest and don’t see him for a few days. I’ll watch over him and don’t worry, I won’t touch him. No one will touch him.”
Elder Liu watched as Risless left and she walked into the chamber where Dong Chen was sleeping. Looking over at him she took out a glowing flower, one that could control dreams. Risless had said Dong Chen reacted to her as if she were a woman, so all that was needed was a little push in the right direction.
The flower had some of Elder Liu’s qi infused into it, and she placed it in the corner of the room, making it invisible. She used a special technique that would prevent Risless from being able to detect as well. Knowing the Sect Master since she was a small girl, it was easy to know her limitations.
Forgive me the both of you, but I’m doing this for the both of you.

I was in bed and having a nice massage. Someone was under the sheets giving me the time of my life. I felt the tongue going back and forth, up and down and side to side. It was a feeling never had before, one that I was happy to have.
I lifted the sheets to see who was down there.
It was mom, in her mask, her tongue out of her mouth going up and down.
No! This isn’t right? Am I still under involuntary control here? She could do this to me right? Is my mom doing this to me?
No!
Yet somehow I felt my face smile and I put my hand on her head and pushed it down harder. There was a smile on her face, though she said nothing. She kept going up and down with her mouth; it felt so good.
“Ahh… ahhh…” I moan.
I felt everything release and come out, all in her mouth, and she had a smile on her face as her hands gently went down to the scrunched sack toying with it slowly.
No! I can’t do this! Why is this happening! Why is this—!
I wake up.
It was… a dream… a wet dream.
I check my undergarments. I had let it out. I had a wet dream about my mother. Lusting after my mother. I can’t believe I did that despite knowing everything she’s done to me until now. Still, I have to remain calm. Getting angry won’t fix any of this. Getting angry never works, but she’s still my mom and I don’t want to throw any parents away after losing them in my last life.
I already lost my father in this life. I don’t want to lose my mother too… but I have to do something in order to understand what’s going on. There is too much at stake.
I have full control of my body now, but it’s definitely nighttime and I’m still tired. Why do I feel so tired? If I remember mom said that she will avoid me for a few days to settle down while Elder Liu would come and talk to me. That’s a pretty good move considering I was going to be furious at mom over this.
Actually, I am angry at her. I’m still angry at her. Forcing me to behave by taking control of my body. Making me act like a child towards her simply because I’m a mortal. Turning my own bodily autonomy into nothing but a joke. There were many things I was not happy about, but I’m completely powerless to do anything.
Ugh…
I wish I never switched places with that guy. This just keeps getting worse and worse for me.
