#Madame Ganoderma

[the-monkey-ruler]

Does 'Journey to the South' ever say who or what kind of demon possessed Huaguang Dadi mother?

It wasn't that a demon-possessed his mother. It was that his mother was a demon. The Demon, Ganoderma, ate the man's REAL wife and took her place. From there she got pregnant under the guise of being his real wife and gave birth to a ball of flesh that turned into five babies, with one of them being Huaguang Dadi. Also a sister who used to be a Jade Flower

He went to heaven to get her Immortal Peaches to finally sate her hunger for human flesh and stop her from eating people indefinitely. But technically speaking, he and his siblings here would be half-yao.

But yes funny enough his mother was actually the same spirit that he freed in his first life from her capture. He was in such a rage against the First Prince of Heaven that he threw his golden brick at the Saha Mirror and released the Demon Gandoderma and the Hunderd Golden-Eyed Demon.

What a strange family eh? The characters for her name are "吉芝陀圣母"

Original request: May I make a request for how they're like bringing them to meet the reader's parents? Thank you~ <3

Warnings: none

A/n: Ah i hope this was good ! I had to repeat some story lines I did in the first one because I see some of these characters acting pretty similar so they’re not as unique as I hoped they’d be. Nevertheless I hope you still enjoy anon <3

• Yae Miko being the Guuji of the Narukami Shrine is impressive enough, her high political status swooning your parents on another level. Even if she didn’t hold her meticulous title she probably would just manipulate them into liking her using their deepest insecurities.

• Since Miko was never one to do things the normal way, she’d wanna have some fun while meeting your parents. You’d beg her not to play any of her games with them, but like the fox, she was you knew your words had no meaning to her.

Miko knew she couldn’t walk up to your doorstep empty-handed even though she was the Guuji. She even dressed up for this occassion, picking fresh Sea Ganoderma just for your mother as you two stood behind the door that would open a new future for the two of you. “How do I look hmm?” She asked you adjusting her earrings.

“You look perfect Miko,” you told her. You hadn’t had much time to discuss the battle plan for tonight with you her due to both of your busy schedules, but you trusted Miko enough to be competent enough for such tasks. Your parents must’ve heard the commotion outside, opening the door before you could knock.

“Ahh- Lady Guuji,” your mother answered. A bead of nervous sweat dropping her forehead, she had of course heard the rumors of her unusual cruelty from victims such as the everso popular Thoma. Your father peeking behind your mother in support and in equal mistrust. 

“Good evening, how are you madame?” was all she said, making you relax at the seemingly normal start. She had a wide smile on her face as she handed your mother the blue flowers. Stepping inside as she took her sandals off as lady-like as possible. Looking around your childhood home she was needless to say a little disappointed, not to say she expected much. “My my~ what a... cute little home you seem to have,” she complimented your mother with slight hesitation.

“Why thank you,” she replied, as nice as Miko seemed to be coming off, you could tell the backhandedness of her comments. Elbowing Miko to cut it out before she mentions something out of line. Before she could speak back to you, the smell of freshly fried tofu wafted from the dining table, “I hope you enjoy Fried Tofu, I heard it’s very popular nowadays,” your mother added, hoping to win over the fox lady.

• Back in Sumeru, Lisa was a renowned scholar. Impressive even for the land overseen by the Archon of Wisdom. However, in Mondstadt, Lisa was just your average Librarian. She might’ve even built a reputation for herself for being the crazy witch who chases you if you have an overdue book.

• Though Lisa wasn’t known as the Purple Rose for no reason, she was charming. Regardless of your parent’s misconceptions of her, she was bound to make them come around even if it were at a later date. Her tenacity and refusal to give up were certainly a feat amongst parents.

Lisa was a very voluptuous woman both physically and personality-wise. The sexy woman standing with you behind your childhood home’s door, a smirk on her face as she twirls her hair in between her fingers. You looked nervous, exceptionally so that she was to meet your parents. “You needn’t worry cutie,” she told you. “Don’t you remember who I am? Miss Lisa has everything under control.”

Her words make you increasingly anxious. She always said that whenever she had absolutely no plans, trusting her intuition more than a calculated plan. “See watch this,” she teased you while you gave her a ‘really?’ look. She knocked four times on your door, taking a deep breath. 

Your mother opening the door, Lisa ready to put on the fakest show of her life. “Why hello, how are you love,” she said in a high pitch as she went in for a hug. Your mother played into her embrace acting like they had known each other for ages. “I’ve even brought you something,” she pulled out a box of heart chocolates wrapped in a purple rose. Some caramel flavored, some orange, some dark chocolate. 

It didn’t take much for your mother to be impressed by her womanly charm. “You never told me your lady was a chocolate connoisseur?” Your mother teased you, little did she know you didn’t know either. Rolling your eyes as you found yourself in a certain predicament. Your father standing behind your mother as he too felt the same weird vibe between the two women. 

He made an awkward giggle as he signaled your all to funnel inside the house, regardless of the fake acts and overexcited greetings you could tell Lisa was a master at blending in. She was going to win your mother over whether it was the last thing she did.

• The Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing was all you had to say. It was an honor for your parents to even have a conversation with her beyond annoying small talk. Ningguang didn’t even have to talk in order to impress your parents beyond their imagination.

• Ningguang would be showered in admiration the moment she stepped into your house. She didn’t need any training or housewarming gifts to swoon your parents. She could’ve been a Hilichurl incapable of speech and they’d still grovel on their feet for even a word with her.

Ningguang wore a specially tailored dress just for the occasion, even though she was the Tianquan she wanted to make this moment special because you were involved. You two made it to your front porch, offering your hand to your lady as she took the step up to the ‘welcome home’ mat on the floor. The door swung open to your little humble childhood home without even a knock.

“Welcome Lady TianQuan,” your father said, offering his hand for a strong and firm handshake. “My wife is just down the hall, she’s prepared some home-cooked meals just for you.” he tried to impress her. Your mother always had the best cooking, her stews and soups were to die for.

The smell intoxicated her as she felt a little saturated in the enviroment. Most of the people she conversed with were greedy businessmen and corrupt politicians, not giving them the time of day and rude chit-chat was all she was accustomed to. But your sweet little home was enough for her to get comfy and cozy, a refreshing maternal feeling she got. Her cheeks turned a rosy red. “Don’t mind if I do,” Ningguang said softly.

She set the small but expensive jade present for your parents on the nightstand beside your door, taking off her heels as she made her way into the kitchen, her nose guiding her. Your mother was rambling in her own little world as she was speechless in front of the tall woman. She had always been a humble woman. “Do you mind if I help you prepare the stew? I can mince the onions if you’d like?” Ningguang offered.

Ningguang fit in well in the tiny house, her warm presence filling the void. Your parents despite their initial nerves seemed to bond well with her, your worries washing away that they might embarrass you or that they’d butt heads.

• Mona might have been a great astrologist’s apprentice, but in Mondstadt, she was quite unknown. She was nothing more than an Astrologer if lucky, just a broke fortune teller to most. Her words often stung like knives if they carried any weight for her status.

• Mona was definitely not someone who you could trust walking blind-sighted into dinner with your parents. You’d have to train her from making any cruel or unusual remarks, it was like trying to tell a stubborn cat what to do. Almost losing faith in her ability to win over your parents altogether.

Mona held her chin up high, you made her solemnly swear not to use any of her astrology ‘things’ on your parents, let alone not say anything out of pocket. She promised you that if she needed to conform to a standard in order to fit in she would, this being one of those times. “Remember to bite your tongue Mona, I don’t want to hear your sneaky remarks to my parents,” You said as you knocked on your door, Mona behind you as she flipped her hair sassily with a pout.

Your mother answered the door with a big grin as she brought you in for a hug. The young woman behind you looking  small and awkward as her foot tapped anxiously on the concrete porch. “Nice to meet you, I’m Mona Megistus,” Mona’s arms were folded, but her hand reached out to shake your mother’s, “A-although, you can just call me Mona.” 

You had your first sigh of relief, she showed a sign of humility, compared to when you first had met her. Your father coming out of the darkness of your home to greet her as well, his large figure towering over Mona’s. Her eye twitched and her smirk turned crooked, she was nothing short of being intimidated. Without her astrology knowing whether someone was bad news was a mystery.

But if it was your father he couldn’t be bad, right? “Pleased to meet you as well s-sir,” she said shakily. She wasn’t prepared to feel so nervous, this was supposed to be another walk in the park. Almost forgetting about the housewarming gift that you had bought her to give to your parents, the small package sitting in her pouch.

You lightly elbowed her in her side, making her squeak a little. Although annoyed, your presence was grounding to her, finding hope in the fact that you were standing right behind her in a time of need. “Mona, my dear we’ve heard much about you,” your mother finally said breaking the awkward silence. Your small nudge was all she needed in order to break the ice, feeling comfortable after realizing if these people had raised you, they must be good people.

• Being the Captain of the Crux was certainly impressive, if they cared enough that is. In Liyue the Crux might’ve been a fascinating dream amongst Children, but to adults who work a 9-5, they were nothing but criminals. Disrespecting the Liyue Qixing every chance they got.

• You would have to teach Beidou a whole bunch of things about basic etiquette. Whether it be table manners, speech, or even how to dress like a lady. If not told otherwise she probably would’ve belched or even picked her nose in front of your parents who expected quite a lot from you.

You were nervous for Beidou to meet your parents, you had even told her she should fake her occupation so they don’t judge her too harshly. She, however, thought it was shameful to hide her legacy. You had to whip her into shape, arms linked as you walked the pathway to your front porch, she was still trying to convince you she was a catch just as she was. “If I don’t be myself now, how will they accept me later?” Beidou argued. 

Your mother who had opened the door prematurely much to your surprise stood at the doorstep, her arms folded sternly as she looked down on the tall woman but lean woman. Her dress was formal and modest, but it didn’t hide her scars and lean body shape. Her mean appearance shocked your poor mother. “My my~ who hurt you, my dear,” she asked Beidou like she was her daughter-in-law already.

Beidou glanced at you sternly with confidence, and then back at your mother as she was ready to state the truth. “I got this fighting monsters that lurk on the sea’s floor,” Beidou had her chin held high, a smirk on her face. She thought that if she cut to the chase, skipped a couple of chapters, they’d accept her faster. Your father creeping behind with an intrigued look on his face.

“A monster? Good celestias, what an imagination you have child.” Your mother gasped as she shooed Beidou in the house quickly. “You’ll have to tell me more over food, it’ll get cold if we wait too long.” Your mother didn’t buy it, but oh archons would she be in a ride, Beidou’s stories could go on for ages.

Your father followed closely behind still interested as he looked Beidou up and down. He wasn’t as skeptical as your mother, her strong figure surely told him that she must’ve done something dangerous to have such strong arms. A firm hand on Beidou’s shoulder as he whispered to her. “My wife isn’t as trusting as me, but I trust you will protect our little one will you not?” His words brought a queasy smile to Beidou’s face.
