Mommy Wolf: Raise A Cub, Claimed By His Beast Daddy-Chapter 199: A Request to Grandma

Sisi smiled as she stared at the ancient tree. She gently caressed Grandma Tree’s big vine and said, "I can finally meet you again, Grandma. I miss you."

I... miss you too, darling granddaughter... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Grandma Tree used smaller vines to hug Sisi, acting like they were arms that embraced its granddaughter.

Sisi wasn’t surprised by this gesture. After meeting Grandma Tree a few times in her dream, she realized that the ancient tree truly saw her as its beloved granddaughter.

Now that she had met those faeries, she was even more convinced that she was truly a faerie, like what Grandma Tree had said before.

"It’s all thanks to three little faeries who went on a long journey to find me. They told me how to meet you in my dream," Sisi mentioned.

Tutu, Keke, and Dodo... aren’t they?

"Oh? You know their names?"

Dearest granddaughter... I know all faeries’ names... I gave birth to all of them...

"Then how about me, Grandma?" Sisi asked. "Did you give birth to me? But how come I ended up in the human world?"

The giant branches suddenly shook as if Grandma Tree was in distress. Sisi got worried and patted the vine. "Are you alright, Grandma? Did I say something wrong?"

Dearest... you are... a half-human...

Grandma Tree seemed to be saddened as it told Sisi the truth.

You were born... from the womb of the darling before you... my late daughter, your late mother.

Sisi was surprised, but she didn’t show a huge shock because she felt nothing about this information. She knew that her parents must be dead by now, but she was quite intrigued to know that her mother must have been the faerie.

But then, what about her father? How did he die? And how did she end up in front of an orphanage in the human kingdom?

Darling, I... cannot tell everything in your dream. It is a long story...

Please come home, to faerie land, and I will tell you everything...

"Ah, about that—" Sisi remembered her real mission to find a way to cure Jojo’s blindness. "—the faeries who found me also want me to return. But I cannot leave the Beast Kingdom, Grandma."

Why?

"Because I’m currently taking care of the Dawn Star of this era. His name is Jojo. He is the reason why I awakened my power, and also the reason why I decided to leave the human kingdom and live in Roc Forest."

Just like with the little faeries, Sisi had no difficulty telling the truth in front of the ancient tree.

Dawn Star?!

Once again, Grandma Tree’s branches shook, now even stronger than before. The petals that fell from the sky suddenly turned a shade paler, as if Grandma Tree had become wary and a little scared after Sisi mentioned the Dawn Star.

"Yes, Grandma. The boy that I adopted, the one I told you about before, turns out to be the Dawn Star of this era," Sisi said truthfully. "I really love him like my own son, and I... will raise him right until he is old enough to be on his own."

Darling, the Dusk and Dawn Stars are created... because Roc Forest needs vessels to contain the earth’s dark energy.

You and them... should not be together...

Sisi pretty much expected that answer, just like how the little faeries were wary of Jojo before they talked with the boy.

Unfortunately, Grandma Tree couldn’t talk with Jojo, and even if it could, an ancient being like Grandma Tree wouldn’t be so soft as to lower its guard against a creature that was supposed to be ’evil.’

Sisi sighed as she shook her head gently. "I am sorry, Grandma. But I really want to take care of him. He is a good kid who simply wants to be loved and raised well. Since he can’t enter the faerie land, then... I can’t return."

Darling... don’t say that...

You are making Grandma... sad...

Sisi stared at the ancient tree and took a step back, but Grandma quickly wrapped its vines around Sisi’s legs to make sure that she stayed in place.

The ancient tree truly didn’t want its dearest granddaughter to leave, but they were in a complicated situation right now.

"Grandma, I am willing to return to the faerie land under my own condition. But in exchange, I’d want you to bring a few faerie elders to my side, because I really need help with something."

What is it... my dearest?

Sisi took a deep breath, as she had rehearsed this in her head. "It’s about Jojo. He seems to be inflicted by his own curse, because his eyes turned golden permanently, and he lost his vision. He’s completely blind now."

"I want to know if you and the elders can find a way to cure his blindness."

Dearest... that blindness... is part of his curse. It’s impossible to cure...

Sisi expected that it would be hard to get a good answer from her grandmother. But she didn’t want to give up.

She knew that Grandma Tree must have known something, since it had lived for a long, long time.

Grandma Tree must have encountered the Dusk and Dawn Stars of previous eras and knew many things about them.

"That is my only request, Grandma. As long as you help me find a way to cure my son, then I’ll return to the faerie land," Sisi said, then added, "Under my own circumstances, of course."

Darling, this is... a difficult request. You shouldn’t be close to that cursed being...

But I know that you must have inherited some of your late mother’s stubbornness... so your grandma cannot do anything but... help...

I really miss you... my dearest granddaughter...

I will help, as long as you return home...

"I promise," Sisi said without hesitation.

Then, I will send faeries... to help you... I know a way to cure his blindness...

"Really?!" Sisi’s face brightened instantly. She rushed toward the big trunk and hugged her grandmother tightly. "Oh, Grandma, thank you so much!"

The vines began to wrap around Sisi’s body tightly.

Oh, my dearest granddaughter... your grandma loves you as well...
