I'll give my daughter one more second.

"Does Nanami want to be touched?"

"No...no, I don't want to!"

Nanami was taken aback by Mashiro's sudden question. After giving an instinctive answer, she realized it was inappropriate and immediately spoke up.

"That's great. That way, Nanami won't have to fight me for her."

Mashiro nodded, then climbed to Wu Shen's side and pounced on him without any hesitation.

"..."

Completely taken in by such a trick, Nanami could only stare blankly as Mashiro threw herself into Wu Shen's arms.

"Nanami, come along too."

With one hand on Shiro's forehead, and seeing Nanami casting a wistful glance at him, Wu Shen quickly reached out and beckoned her over as well.

After the test was completed, Wu Shen stood up with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Is that really how it is?"

Wu Shen frowned slightly, and after a while he muttered something to himself.

"Do you know what happened?" Eriri's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I understand the general reason now."

In the end, Lina, Mai, and Amane were in similar situations; when they were sent here, they faced the possibility of disappearing.

This time, it seems that Yunying took a bit too much of a bite this time, consuming too many of Lina's potential.

Despite attempts to remedy the situation afterward, her body remained semi-transparent, much like the little oriole and swallow that nearly disappeared the day before yesterday.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Yun Ying temporarily linked Eriri and Lina's potential together in order to solidify Lina's existence.

However, this state is extremely unstable. Because of this hidden danger, Eriri and Rina accidentally ended up in a body-swap state after meeting.

Moreover, this situation is even more dangerous. If Lina is on the verge of disappearing, Eriri may also disappear with her.

"What, what should I do?"

After hearing Wu Shen's explanation and learning that both mother and daughter might disappear, the little girl Eriri's face turned deathly pale.

"The best solution, in fact, I've been working on it for a while now, and Tsukine should have told you already. It's just that right now, Eriri, you and your daughter are in a body swap, which makes things complicated..."

Wu Shen looked troubled.

The best solution, of course, would be a one-shot kill. But that's absolutely out of the question in this situation.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"It's not impossible. If the possibility of my daughter becoming more stable, with the combined efforts of Zi, Yunying, my mother, and me, we can still get her body back."

The body swap is like a "surgery", but the "patient's" chances are too unstable right now. We need to stabilize the daughter's chances first before we can perform the body swap.

"What do we need to do to stabilize the possibility of having a daughter?" Eriri seemed a little anxious.

Wu Shen is quite experienced in preventing the disappearance phenomenon. Generally speaking, he can quickly restore stability through intimate behavior with the woman.

For example, that's how Tsukine was saved back then.

Furthermore, the higher the probability that Wu Shen and Ying Lili will have a daughter in the future, the weaker the phenomenon of their daughter disappearing will be.

The reason I poached Mashiro to work at my apartment was to prevent Yoruka from disappearing.

But now that the bodies have been swapped, these two methods won't work, so we need to rely on other external forces to stabilize the possibility of having a daughter.

For example, a marriage certificate from the government, or recognition, support and affirmation from both sets of parents and family members.

"Excuse me for asking, Eriri, where is your mother now?"

"What...what do you want with my mother?" Eriri looked at Wu Shen warily.

Chapter 1077 Daughter Pretends to Be Mother

Why...why are you looking for my mother?

Eriri watched Wu Shen warily.

“The best way to solidify the possibility of having a daughter now is to gain the approval of your family,” Wu Shen explained.

"Then why did you specify your mother? Why not other family members?"

"Well, based on my experience, it's generally easier to talk to someone who is married."

For example, Nanami's mother, Yukino Haruno's mother, and her own mother.

"In that case, it's understandable."

Eriri nodded slightly.

"Why were you so nervous before? I couldn't possibly do anything to your mother." Wu Shen smiled.

"I'm just a little worried. And my mom's personality is a bit... strange," Eriri said after a moment's hesitation.

"That's nothing. Can anything be stranger than my mother? I'm a pro at dealing with wives."

Wu Shen waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

"Is your mother in Japan? Let's not delay, let's call her over now and explain our situation to her."

"Wait, wait a minute! Do I need it now? I... I'm not mentally prepared yet."

The thought of having to confess her relationship with Wu Shen to her mother made Eriri shake her head like a rattle.

"I know you might be a little shy, Eriri, but time is running out for our daughter."

Eriri glanced at her daughter on the bed, and finally nodded, taking a deep breath.

“I understand. Contacting Mom isn’t a problem; she lives in Japan now. It’s only a few hours’ drive from here. But the problem is…”

Eriri glanced at her daughter on the bed as she spoke.

"Now that my body has been switched with my daughter's, I can't possibly meet my mother looking like this little girl, can I?"

Eriri sat on the ground with her little bottom down, her face drooping in annoyance.

Wu Shen was stunned for a moment. He had been too anxious and had completely forgotten about this.

If we're really going to see Eriri's mother, it would be a bit much to force the little girl to participate.

The question is, if Lina were to appear, would she be able to successfully impersonate Eriri?

Thinking about this, Wu Shen and Ying Lili were both very worried.

"Lina, wake up."

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Shen stepped forward and patted Lina on the shoulder, intending to wake her up and have her practice first.

"dad?"

Lina groggily opened her eyes and saw Wu Shen in front of her. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

"what……"

Little Eriri couldn't stop her in time, so she could only pout her little lips.

"Waaah, I've never kissed Wu Shen like that before."

"Don't be jealous of your daughter! I'll let you kiss her as much as you want later. Besides, isn't this your body?" Wu Shen complained.

Wu Shen quickly pried Lina apart, otherwise who knows what Lina planned to do next.

"Lina, can Daddy ask you for a favor?"

Wu Shen began to carefully consider his next words. How could he explain to Lina in a simple and easy-to-understand way what she needed to do?

"What is it?"

Lina sucked on her little hand, blinking her eyes curiously at Wu Shen.

That kind of childlike innocence, despite being physically mature, is incredibly endearing.

"Grandma is coming to visit us in a little while."

"Grandma, I want to play with Grandma!"

Lina waved her hands excitedly and jumped around on the bed in celebration.

When Eriri saw this, she could only cover her face in shame, trying her best not to look at what her daughter was doing with her body.

What do you mean by "playing with grandma"? Shouldn't it be "playing with grandma"? Wu Shen couldn't help but complain inwardly.

However, the young girl's grammar was still quite messy, and with time running out, Wu Shen did not intend to correct or take it too seriously.

"Lina, how about we play a fun game with Grandma in a little while?"

"Okay! What game?"

"How about we play Mommy and Mommy plays Lina, and then we can tease Grandma together?"

"Yeah."

Lina nodded happily.

"You're really good at comforting kids."

Eriri stared in disbelief as Wu Shen successfully fooled her daughter.

"It's all about practice."

"Lina, let's practice first so we can better fool Grandma later. This is Nanami-neechan, who will temporarily play the role of Grandma."

To be on the safe side, Wu Shen decided to rehearse on the spot first.

After discussing it with Nanami, he had Nanami sit on the sofa and pretend to be Eriri's mother.

"Grandma, you're here!"

Lina pounced on her.

“Wrong, wrong! This is role-playing, you should call her Mom,” Wu Shen corrected.

“Daughter, I would never do such an embarrassing thing as acting cute with my mother!” Eriri also corrected her.

"Oh... Mommy, you're here."
