Chapter 561 The fragrance of flowers grows stronger

Mo Jiangqing raised his arm with a look of shock and sniffed himself. After confirming that he didn't smell anything, he spoke, "Mother, please stop teasing your son. Where is there any smell on him?"

Chu Qingmeng frowned, "Yes, but it's very faint."

Mo Jiangqing remembered, "My son got his clothes dirty this morning, so he wore Jiang Che's. Maybe he got the infection then? It's so faint, how could a mother smell it?"

Mo Jiangche was in a state of confusion, "Mother, please stop teasing me. I really don't have any smell. Let me smell it, it's just sweat at best."

Mo Jiangqing agreed very much, because he was with Jiang Che every day, and if there was a floral scent on him, he would definitely smell it first.

"You do have a floral scent." Mo Liujin said seriously, "I can smell it."

Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Jiangche and said, "Chunhe, go and smell if there is any floral scent on Jiangche."

Chunhe sniffed it and shook his head, "Indeed not."

Chu Qingmeng fell into deep thought, then looked up and asked Mo Liujin, "What do I smell like?"

"Ah?" Mo Liujin was stunned for a moment. How could he say it in front of his son and daughter-in-law? But she looked serious, so he couldn't help but answer. "It's cool and soothing, and the scent is very special, but it's not the incense on you. This scent comes from your flesh and blood."

"Chunhe, what do I smell like?" Chu Qingmeng turned around and asked Chunhe.

"It's the scent of cedar that the girl often uses." Chunhe answered truthfully.

Chu Qingmeng raised an eyebrow. "So, the scent on Jiang Che comes from his flesh and blood, not from incense. That's why they can't smell it."

"..." Mo Jiangche twitched his lips. "Mother, do you and father really have to scare your son like this? He's been really busy lately, and my brother can testify to that."

Li couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh. She knew that her brother-in-law had been pursuing women recently, and her mother-in-law was very good at making up stories to discipline him.

Mo Jiangqing didn't think Chu Qing was deceiving Jiang Che. His mother came to the dining hall from the warm room and had no contact with the people around them, let alone know that she had worn Jiang Che's clothes.

He remembered his father saying he was cultivating immortality and his mother also had divine powers.

Chu Qingmeng looked at him and said, "Don't go to Dong's house for the time being. Wait until I remember what this smell is."

Chunhe was surprised. How did the girl know that the second young master had been spending more time in Luotangyuan recently?

"Ahem...Mother..." Mo Jiangche choked, "You..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? I smelled it. The floral scent on her body is stronger than yours. Where else could you have gotten it from except from her?" Chu Qingmeng glanced at him.

"Cough... cough... yes, son, I've got it in mind." Mo Jiangche choked and his face turned red.

After dinner, Mo Jiangqing dragged Mo Jiangche to the warm room and dismissed the servants. He wanted to ask, "Mother, you're really not teasing Jiangche, are you?"

"..." Am I really that free? Chu Qingmeng gestured for them to sit down. "Why am I teasing you? Your father can smell it too."

"Mother, you said you were not teasing your son. Are you annoyed that your son has been going to Luotang Courtyard too often recently, so you and father are trying to scare him?" Mo Jiangche didn't believe it.

"Your legs are on your body. How can I control where you go? I'm not lying to you." Chu Qingmeng explained helplessly. She always felt that there was something wrong with the fragrance of the flowers.

"When has your father ever taken care of the affairs in your backyard? Why would he lie to you together with your mother?" Mo Liujin glanced at him.

"How could it be possible that only you and my mother could smell it?" Mo Jiangche was determined that the two of them were trying to scare him.

"Father, cultivate immortality. Have you forgotten that mother was born with immortal powers?" Mo Jiangqing put on a serious expression.

Mo Jiangche's brows twitched. How could he have forgotten this?! "So, is this the reason?"

"Probably. To be honest, I could only smell the scent on you after I started practicing. What on earth is this smell?" Mo Liujin looked at Chu Qingmeng.

"...bone fragrance." Chu Qingmeng was reluctant to answer, but it was obvious that the two younger ones also looked curious.

"Then mother, if your son also practices, can he also smell the scent on your body?" Mo Jiangche was very curious about what the bone fragrance smelled like.

"..." Chu Qingmeng's face flushed slightly. This brat really deserved a beating! "You're overthinking it. First of all, even a mortal might not be able to enter the realm even after thirty to fifty years of cultivation. After entering the realm, there are still many realms to break through. Even if you break through after thousands of years, you will only be one of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers."

Mo Jiangqing Mo Jiangche took a deep breath. This sounded so despairing. After spending thousands of years, he became a small soldier?

"Ahem, I'm getting off topic. If only the two of us can smell Jiang Che's scent, then this flower must not be from the mortal world. But I really can't remember where I've smelled it before."

Chu Qingmeng brought their thoughts back, but still couldn't remember the fragrance of the flowers.

Mo Jiangqing laughed, "Mother, you speak as if you are not an ordinary person."

Chu Qingmeng paused for a moment while drinking his tea, and half-jokingly said, "Since you mentioned this, I'd like to ask you two, if I weren't human, would you be afraid of me?"
