I'm only at chapter 300+ but I just had to mention how amusing I find the interaction between MC, ML, and son. ML is shamelessly wooing MC by helping her breakthrough in her cultivation and cooking for her and offering to do so for eternity. While on the side, he also doesn't baby the son and trains the boy without making the boy feel inferior. Of course, the mother and son are incredibly irritated and frustrated at his shamelessness (with MC still getting those lips stolen and the boy being blatantly called 'my son' by ML). Still, even with all that, I find the son's hunger for a father figure to be somewhat sad and bittersweet. Imagine, he grew up with his mother protecting him and giving him everything he needed but when something bad happens and she's not strong enough and gets injured, he feels incredibly powerless. In comes ML, the strongest person the kid has ever encountered and the man can actually protect his mother and then some. He's conflicted but he's secretly happy that his mother is safe but hates that he's not the one doing the protecting. It's cute in a strange way.
