Chapter 60: The Child's Father Arrives

  After rushing for half a day, they arrived at a forest and the main force stopped to rest. As soon as she got down from the wild cow on Mount Mang, Zhan Lightcrazy was surrounded. Everyone looked at her in confusion and curiosity, staring at the child in her arms.

  Ximen Qingxue couldn't help but speak up, running over in three strides that felt like two, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

  "Are you kidding me? Are you sure Master Liancheng didn't give you the wrong medicine by mistake? You're not messing with me, are you? This is really your child?"

  "Want another kick?" Glared at him, War Light kicked his ankle, eager to try.

  "Hey, hey, hey, always being kicked by you, where can I put my face?" Xi Men took a step back, keeping a safe distance from her.

  "You're so young! How old are you, anyway? You already have a child this big?" Looking at the child's appearance, he was probably already three or four years old. Dongfang Jue asked in surprise.

  "What's wrong with that? That was also born by me!" The son is her pride.

  "You're quite bold, although this is a question that shouldn't be asked, but we've never seen it before, uh, that is, you and which man are particularly close."

  It's clear from Beidou Qimowan's words that he just wants to ask about the child's father!

  "I don't know who the father of the child is." A thunderbolt on a clear day, and the expressions of those warlike geniuses changed in an instant! She whispered something to her treasure.

  Then, the image of Zhan Qingcang in their minds changed. A young and ignorant girl was deceived by a man, bearing the gaze of contempt from everyone, countless scoldings, gave birth to this child, and brought it up with hardship. No, she said she didn't know who the father of the child was. Then the version changed again, a pure and innocent girl was suddenly violated by a strange man on a dark and windy night, two months later, she discovered that she was pregnant, her kind nature made her unable to bear harming the child, so she had to endure all the hardships herself, and bravely gave birth to the child. Now thinking about her changing personality, it's probably related to her experiences! Ximen Lingshu suddenly felt that his previous self was too excessive, he shouldn't have said those things about her, after experiencing such a tragic event, she could still live courageously, it's really admirable! From now on, he will take good care of her, and also take good care of her child! Clenching his fists, he made a silent vow in his heart.

  Suddenly, everyone's gaze turned to her, with a hint of sympathy. Noticing the expressions on this side, Zhan Qingchuan knew they had misunderstood.

  "It's not what you think." But in other people's eyes, it became a girl's forced smile.

  Ximen Qing slowly crept back to her side, patted her shoulder, and solemnly gave her encouragement: "Qing, don't be stubborn, I understand everything." His sorrowful expression, his serious face, made it seem as if he was the one who had suffered the most.

  It's pointless to say more, let them think whatever they want! As long as she knows it's his treasure, that's all that matters.

  "Mother, I'm hungry!" The little one looked at her and interrupted their daydreams, saying so before weakly leaning back onto the shoulder of Warlight. Her eyes were inscrutable, humph! Ignorant humans!

  "Is Xi'er hungry?" Zhan Qingkong blamed himself in his heart. It's already noon, no wonder his precious son said he was hungry.

  Choose a cool place, Zhan Light Crazy took out a clean flower cloth from the space ring, spread it on the ground, and brought out all the food she had made, such as pastries, dried fruit, roasted meat, etc. Then he hugged the little meatball in his legs, first feeding him a mouthful of juice, then tearing off a tender piece of roasted meat to feed into his mouth.

  At that moment, the cute and charming appearance of Xuan Xi stunned a large crowd, and it was not just the girls who were captivated, even those big men's hearts skipped a beat.

  "What's your son's name?" Beitang Xiner didn't mince words, directly sitting on the flower-patterned fabric of her bed, tilting her head and staring straight at the mother-son pair with big eyes.

  "Call Xuan Xi." As soon as he mentioned his treasure, Zhan Qingkuang became gentle to the extreme, and Ximen Rongshuang beside him looked at him with admiration.

  "Really? Call Xuan Xi! Your son is really handsome, isn't he, Ming Jia sister?"

  The little boy was dressed in a suit, and it could be seen that his mother was willing to spend money. His soft black hair was tied up, revealing his lovely small face, big eyes shining brightly, at this time his mouth moved back and forth as he chewed, sitting obediently in his mother's arms, eating whatever she fed him, a warm and loving scene that made the surrounding people feel envious.

  Being pulled by Beidong Xiner, Huangfu Mingjia also sat down with a smile: "Yes! I've never seen such a good-looking and delicate child."

  "Lightly crazy, give me a hug, okay?" Beitang Xiner looked at it with extreme envy, she also wanted to hold this little soft ball in her arms and spoil it.

  "Mom..." He wrapped his arms tightly around her neck, and the things in his mouth were no longer eaten. His small face was deeply buried in her neck.

  "Stay with me!" She never forced her son, fortunately he was not one of those spoiled and arrogant kids. He could be pampered a little, and she would gladly give him ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more affection, so if the son didn't want to do something, she naturally went along with it.

  "Haha, Beitang Xiner, you're in trouble now, aren't you? You can't do anything about it, watch me!" Ximen Lingshuang smiled triumphantly, finally getting the chance to avenge herself from last night.

  "You think I'm not having fun? With your behavior, even little kids would be scared to tears just by seeing you." She glared at him and pouted her mouth, counterattacking mercilessly.

  "What's wrong with my virtue? What's wrong with my virtue, thinking that as soon as I, the great young master of the Ximen family, appear on the scene, from 80-year-old seniors to 3-year-old children, everyone is infatuated with me. Alas, who made this young master so lovable and charming? Being born with a face that invites affection is also something beyond my control!" As he stroked his own face, Ximen Rongshuang became instantly enchanted.

  "You're so scary! How many kids have cried just seeing you?"

  "What you said must not be me!"

  "Don't try to deny it, with your annoying appearance, you've scared countless children to tears, I've seen it happen countless times."

  "That's your eyes having problems, what you see is absolutely not me, even little kids who see me all like me very much."

  "Alright! You don't believe me, huh? Now I'll give you a chance to prove it. Are you teasing me? Now it's your turn, if you can make my arrogant son laugh, then I'll admit you're impressive!"

  "It's nothing much! Open your eyes wide and take a good look." Rolling up his sleeves, Ximen Qingfeng was obviously ready to make a big move.

  The two of them had a clearly incompatible aura, and whenever they got together, they would either bicker or argue, and in severe cases, even resort to physical violence. Although it was always Beitang Xiner who initiated the beatings, Ximen Linshuang would constantly provoke her, refusing to back down by an inch. The two of them were a perfect example of "lovers' quarrels".

  Let them make a racket, Zhan Qing and Xuan Xi don't care about them! Feed who should be fed, eat what should be eaten. Not to mention smiling at the side, looking at Beitang Xin'er with envy.

  "Cough, cough... Ah, yes, that's right! I'm your mother's good friend, and of course, her good brother. Although she doesn't agree, at this age, it's only natural! So, by rights, you should call me Uncle. Come on, give it a try." Ximen Rongxue squeezed next to Zhan Qingcang, smiling fawningly, beginning his grand scheme of deception.

  "Mommy, I want that one!" Xiaopang pointed at a pudding, completely ignoring Xi Meng's frosty gaze.

  Ximen Dazhi was undaunted, and continued to try to win the child over. "Look at how handsome I am," he said. "All the children love me. Come on, give your uncle a smile."

  "Pfft!" Beidong Xiner couldn't help but laugh first, and everyone else couldn't help but smile.

  "What are you laughing at! Don't laugh!" After scolding, he immediately put on a playful smile, "Little Xuan Xi, your uncle is very good to your mother, our relationship is solid, just look at how your mother kicks me every time and I don't get angry. This shows that your uncle's temper is really good, no need to say more. So, since your uncle is such a good person, give him a hug, okay?" After saying this, he stretched out his hands, waiting for the little ball of meat to throw herself into his arms.

  After eating and drinking enough, Xuan Xi raised her little head and let Qing Kuang wipe her mouth. "Mommy... I'm full... want to sleep..."

  The little one didn't even give him a glance, and so Ximen Linfeng petrified in the wind, only to be shattered into dust by a touch from Beidong Xiner, cracking open instantly.

  "Haha, I thought you were the great Ximen's beloved, blooming wherever you go, but it seems you're just like anyone else! It's really killing me with laughter, haha...". Beitang Xin'er laughed so hard her stomach hurt as she ridiculed Ximen Qingxue.

  "Why? Why?! Ahhh, Zhan Qingkuang! Your son has a problem with his aesthetics, he needs treatment! I'm so handsome and charming, this face of mine is flowing with elegance, your son doesn't even give me a glance, it must be treated! It definitely needs to be treated!" Grabbing her head, Xi Men Rong Xue let out a loud cry, clearly having been struck, then righteously pointed out Zhan Qingkuang's mistakes.

  "You're the one with problems! Your whole family has problems!" The old master of the Shi family in Ximen, Beijing, Ah Qiu, let out two loud sneezes and shouted: Who's scolding me?!

  "My son is fine, no problem with his aesthetics. It's just that some scumbag got sick and needs to be treated! Treated 'severely'!"

  "Who did you say?"

  "Who knows who, you see everyone knows who I'm talking about." The few people sitting on the same side covered their mouths and were stifling their giggles, some looking at trees and others gazing at grass, just not meeting his gaze. But Beitang Xiner didn't care about his face at all, laughing so hard she was rolling on the ground.

  "Fight! Light! Crazy!"

  "What are you yelling about? Who's got a louder voice than who? Now, I'm taking my son to pee!" She gave him a dirty look, didn't even bother to glance back at him, and turned around to leave.

  "You... you... I'm not playing with you!" Ximen Qingxue was so angry that she jumped up and down on the spot, having just been hit by a war- crazed Zhan, while on the other side, there was still Bei Tang Xin'er left, instantly, the two of them started fighting again.

  Carrying Xi'er to the edge of the stream, after solving Huihui's problem, Zhan Qing was about to hug him and leave when his gaze was caught by a corpse floating down with the current.

  "Mom..."

  "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." She comforted her baby son with her mouth, but only looked at the corpse in front of her, so she didn't see that what was in her son's eyes wasn't fear, but indifference and disgust.

  Walked up, turned the body over, and saw the special mark on that person's body. It was a member of the Wolf Flame Mercenary Group! The face had turned greenish-blue, and the arm was covered in black pus, having died from poisoning.

  Thinking back to the previous two-faced fate, the second time she wanted to give Xi'er a birthday present, she even let her have a private room, although she didn't use it, but this favor she did remember.

  "Mother..." He was just an unimportant person, he didn't want his mother to bother with these things.

  "Xiao Er, Mother has met them before. Now it's just going to take a look. If we can help, we'll help out. We won't put ourselves in danger."

  "Don't get hurt~" The little man hugged her tightly, reminding her not to forget.

  "Alright, don't get hurt, how about Xi'er returns to the space first? Mother is afraid that there might be some danger and it will harm you." She kissed his little face, gently looking at those bright big eyes.

  "Alright..." Knowing that her mind wouldn't be easily changed, Xuan Xi nodded, so all he could do was not let her worry.

  Then, Warlight Crazy went alone in the direction of the stream and ran quickly.

  It wasn't until two hours had passed that the sound of screams, beastly roars, and strange rustling noises could be heard. Standing at a high vantage point and looking out, a large group of gigantic purple spiders were rampaging about! The crowd was resisting, but countless people had already been injured.

  "Dad, be careful!" Ling Han exclaimed anxiously as he watched a huge purple wolf spider knock his father to the ground.

  The Wolf Flame Mercenary Corps has been experiencing a streak of bad luck lately, encountering one unfortunate event after another. Not long ago, their father was injured and only managed to escape danger with the help of a noble. Now that he's recovered from his injuries, he led them on a mission. He never could have imagined that they would encounter these giant purple wolf spiders, and in such large numbers. These spiders are enormous, each one three meters tall, fast-moving, and their silk contains deadly poison. The saliva in their mouths is also highly toxic, and once you're stuck to it, whether you're human or beast, all living creatures will be poisoned within moments, covered in festering sores, and die a miserable death. The Wolf Flame Mercenary Corps has already suffered heavy losses; could it be that the heavens really are forgetting about them?

  Just as he was greatly disappointed, a girl fell from the sky and killed in all directions. Was he seeing things? How did he see the young lady who saved them last time, that girl called Zhan Qingkuang.

  Rubbing my eyes, everything in front of me is real, it's really her! Huge surprise fills my heart.

  "Qing Kuang Ge Xia, it's you!" he shouted excitedly, looking at her with agitation.

  Jumping onto the battlefield, Warlight Crazy directly incinerated the purple wolf spider in front of him into ashes. Looking at the person who was only shouting his name, he cut a bloody path and flashed to his side, "Be careful!"

  She strangled a stealthy purple wolf spider and tossed it back into the crowd of wounded people, turning to continue fighting.

  "Be careful, sir! Oh, father!" His father was caught in a spider's web again.

  Two fire dragons led the way, and Zhan Qing rushed to the side of this man who had only met him once, removing the cobwebs from his body and helping him up.

  "Is it you?" Ling Xiangtian was clearly impressed by the girl in front of him, and unexpectedly had to be rescued by her again today.

  "Did you guys burn their nest or something? How are there so many?" A dense swarm of them, they weren't even a match.

  "Our mission this time was to find a black crystal, originally it wasn't a big deal, who would have thought that these purple wolf spiders would become so huge and numerous, we had just gotten our hands on the crystal when we were surrounded." Ling Xuan Tian replied breathlessly.

  "Let's clean this up first." Indeed, the purple wolf spider wouldn't have been so big originally. Something must have happened to cause their mutation.

  Dodged the purple wolf spider's leg, War lightly crazy spinning body flashed to one side, a fire burned it clean, but there were countless others rushing up one after another, this won't do!

  "Volcanic eruption!"

  A powerful fire-type spiritual force burst forth, waves of flame spreading out, and with a whooshing sound, incinerated the corpses of the purple wolf spiders within a hundred meters, leaving nothing behind. Just as they were about to catch their breath, a rustling sound came from afar, and another large group of purple wolf spiders charged towards them, determined to take their lives.

  Time and time again, the flames of spiritual power erupted, but these purple wolf spiders just wouldn't die off. As the saying goes, "the hard ones fear the cunning ones, the cunning ones fear those who don't care about their lives". How long can she keep killing these purple wolf spiders? Even if she could hold on, the people from the Wolf Flame Mercenary Corps couldn't!

  "Detox first!" A medicine bottle was thrown out to Ling Han, Zhan Qingchuan turned back and continued, his hands killing decisively, without mercy.

  At this moment, all the purple wolf spiders accelerated their attack speed, and the eight legs transmitted the same frequency, making the ground thud. Then a giant spider with a purple spot on its back rushed out from behind. It was nearly five meters in size, with multiple eyes staring at her simultaneously, a fat belly with countless protrusions, and eight fluffy big feet intersecting each other, flying quickly towards her. The petite warrior stood in front of it, who was stronger or weaker, obvious at a glance.

  It's clear that this is just their king, all the purple wolf spiders "welcome" in a row, the purple wolf spider king makes a sound with its mouth, and then those under it will surround the Warlight.

  "Your Excellency!" Ling Han's anxious cry came from outside the encirclement. If Your Excellency were to get into trouble while trying to save them, he would be haunted by guilt for the rest of his life.

  All around were terrifying purple wolf spiders, Zhan Light Crazily stared at them cautiously, pacing back and forth. Suddenly, the purple wolf spider moved, all the purple wolf spiders simultaneously spat out silk, trying to wrap her up, she burned one, looking to see who could last longer!

  "Ah~ help~" In the crowd, a man was ambushed, cobwebs wrapped around his legs, and he was forcibly dragged out of the crowd.

  A distraction, the man's legs were entwined, and he stumbled. A fireball in her hand burned away the spider silk binding him, freeing him just in time.

  The Purple Wolf Spider King, not far away, seemed to have discovered this and summoned his subordinates to attack others. For a time, the crowd was filled with cries of surprise, and they had to take care of themselves while also worrying about others. The battle was intense and suffocating.

  At this moment, the Purple Wolf Spider King moved, spitting out purple-black spider silk to stick her limbs and knocking her to the ground. As a king, its strength was naturally not comparable to those small fries, at least the speed of the spider silk being burned was reduced by three times.

  Suddenly, a huge shadow fell before her eyes. Upon closer inspection, it was the plump belly of the purple wolf spider king, its coarse and long brown hair fluttering with each breath. Just as she was sizing him up, the purple wolf spider king lifted one foot, aiming directly at her throat. Amidst the rustling of the wind, his thick and hairy leg came crashing down towards her. Qingyu exerted all her strength with both hands and feet to break free from the entangling spider silk. As the leg approached her face, she mustered a burst of energy in her waist, flipped over, and executed a sweeping kick that cleared away the obstacles, incinerating the spider silk in an instant. Immediately, her wrists and limbs began to swell with purple-black marks, accompanied by tiny red dots - clear signs of poisoning.

  A flash of cold light, Zhan Light Crazy stared at this group of purple wolf spiders, their sharp aura was oppressive, it was either her death or theirs!

  On the other hand, Mo Jiu You had never been so furious before. How come he didn't realize that these old guys were so useless and couldn't even find a person?!

  "King on..."

  "King on..."

  "King on..."

  Ten people knelt down in unison, cold sweat dripping down, wanting to wipe it but not daring to. Thinking that they had not been able to find the young master for some time, they felt extremely guilty and ashamed, how could they still dare to say words of begging for mercy?

  "Hmph! What use are you people?"

  "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

  "The jade pendant indicates that Young Master is safe and sound, we will definitely find him."

  "Yes! King Wang, give us another chance!"

  "King on..."

  "No need to say more! I'll go myself, you guys take good care of the Demon Realm. If there's another problem, one by one, send them all to the Inferno!" With a flick of his sleeve, the King's aura was overwhelming.

  Flaming Hell? Heaven! That's the most terrifying place in their demon world, can't go, no matter what, can't go!

  "Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely take care of the demon world."

  "Longing for King Wang's arrival, and soon bringing back the young princess."

  He let out a cold snort, scaring the ten people so much that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. When their king disappeared from view, they suddenly sat down on the ground without any image, wiping the sweat from their foreheads, and exchanged a glance with lingering fear, what a close call! What a close call!

  They're all useless trash. Mo Jiu's mood was irritable as he arrived in the mortal realm. He carefully sensed the aura, which was intermittent and seemed to be coming from the Gaosheng Empire on the Lingyin continent! After determining his direction, a figure suddenly disappeared without a trace!

  Breath sometimes hidden and sometimes visible, what's going on? Mo Jiu was puzzled in his heart.

  Is the aura moving? Mo Jiu's eyes flashed and continued to chase in that direction.

  The breath was just nearby, but how did it suddenly disappear? However, there were still residues in the air, and my ears moved, flying along with the sound of fighting.

  But it's just a bunch of stink bugs, how small humans are! Hmm? Looking at that girl, the aura is coming from her body, what kind of person is she? At such a young age, she's not bad among humans, but this fire... Rubbing his chin, Mo Jue narrowed his eyes, and his expression became even more unpredictable.

  She saw the poisonous mark on her hand, and her momentum changed. She was obviously going to get fierce, but after watching for so long, he lost patience. With a wave of his hand, the entire battlefield was clean, and his mood suddenly became beautiful!

  Watching the purple wolf spider disappear in an instant, Warlight retracted his hand and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared.

  He wore a white robe, and under the sunlight, his clothes reflected a faint golden light. The collar and cuffs of his robe were embroidered with small golden dragons that seemed to come alive. A pale gold-colored belt was tied around his waist, adorned with colorful auspicious clouds. His black boots had precious gems embedded on either side. The man stood at an impressive eight feet tall, exuding an aura of a ruler who commanded the heavens, making it hard for others to breathe. Zhan Qingchun had never met anyone like him before - someone who possessed such an overwhelming presence that even she felt suffocated, yet somehow also sensed a strange familiarity that she couldn't quite put into words.

  The man's raven-black hair hung down his back, a delicate jade crown on his head, thick eyebrows, and deep, mysterious eyes that seemed to gleam with a faint red light from time to time. His high nose bridge and slightly pursed thin lips made his entire face almost perfect, with skin as white as snow that didn't give off any sense of weakness, but instead exuded a strong and masculine aura. The man's hands were clasped behind his back, looking at them as if they were insignificant ants.

  The entire scene fell silent, almost eerily so, with the sudden appearance of this man. Such men inspired awe in others, who didn't dare lift their heads to look at him, lest they incur his displeasure. The only one who dared to size him up was Zhan Qingxuan. But after sizing him up, Zhan Qingxuan immediately became vigilant - this man was too dangerous! Anyone who could wear such a disdainful expression towards the crowd must be extraordinary!

  "Your Excellency... Your Excellency, down..." Ling Xiao Tian lowered his head, wanting to express his gratitude, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was unable to speak under the oppressive gaze. His heart was racing wildly, completely beyond his control.

  "Thanks a lot, Light Wind Pavilion Master, for saving my life!" With the target changed to War Light Wind, Ling Xiao Tian suddenly felt much better. Although saying thanks in this way was disrespectful to a stronger person, he still didn't want his heart to burst and die.

  "It's nothing, just repaying the favor you owed me that day." She waved her hand, indicating she didn't mind, but upon seeing the bruise on her wrist, her expression froze.

  "Don't say such things, that day's matter is not worth mentioning at all." He hastily shook his head, he couldn't bear to recall this feeling!

  "Thank you so much, Ling Kuang. I owe you one for saving me twice. I don't know what's going on with these purple wolf spiders, they've not only grown huge but also become incredibly ferocious." Ling Han stepped forward and thanked him sincerely before voicing his question.

  "Right, can you show me that black crystal? Is it possible that some unknown substance caused these magical beasts to mutate?"

  "Alright, that's it. We don't know what it is either, but someone in the Imperial City offered a high price for this task, so we took it." He pulled out a black crystal stone from his bag.

  Is this it? Holding it in her hand, the light of her eyes flashed. Mo Jiao Yu, who was watching her expression beside her, also had a flicker in his eyes, indeed!

  "Can you give this to me? I can buy it with crystal coins." She thought that her son had liked one like this last time, but couldn't find it again. Now she ran into another one, what a great coincidence!

  "Lightly crazy pavilion below, what are you talking about? If you like it, I'll give it to you." Although their mission can't be completed, they still have to repay the two great favors that saved their lives.

  "In that case, thank you. I'll give this to you, I see many of you are poisoned, this bottle of elixir can detoxify, and it's not like I'm taking your things for nothing." He threw out another bottle of elixir, and War Light Crazy exchanged it with them for the black crystal stone in this way. At the same time, he also took out a few elixirs to eat, suppressing the spread of the toxin.

  "Ah, ah, ah... this... this..." He wanted to but was too embarrassed, didn't want to but there were still so many lives hanging in the balance, Ling Xiang was torn.

  "I never ask for things back once I've given them away."

  "Ah, thank you then." He handed over the pellets to his son to distribute them, and Ling Xiantian's heart was filled with gratitude.

  Look at the spider silk and dust on her body, Zhan Qing was about to bid farewell to these people, she wanted to go wash up.

  "I'll go first."

  "Ah, then, Young Master Ling, why don't you come with us instead? We can take care of each other." Ling Xiatian warmly invited her.

  "No need, I won't return to the capital for now." She thought that since she had delayed for so long, it was unlikely that the main troops would wait for her alone, so she might as well go to Lou Nan by herself.

  Saying goodbye to them, she walked upstream along the creek, wanting to wash up, but there was still someone following behind her who made her feel stressed.

  "What kind of person are you? Why are you following me?" Turning back to look at the man, Zhan Liang's heart was filled with a high level of vigilance. This man was not easy to deal with.

  "You have something on you that I want, hand it over and I'll spare your life." But can a little girl like you really turn the tables?

  What is it about her that he wants? Is it that crystal stone?

  "Do you want this crystal?" Taking out the crystal from earlier, Zhan Qingcang only wanted to get rid of him. No matter how rude he was, she endured it. Trying to resist in front of a stronger person would be seeking death!

  "Not this one." Mo Jiu shook his head. Those Yuemo stones were intentionally leaked by him, and there were many in the demon realm. What did he want with this one?

  Isn't it this? What does he want then? She doesn't have any treasures on her either!

  "For example, a child." Seeing her say this, her body tensed up instantly, and Mo Jiu gave a mysterious and playful smile.

  Zhan Liangkong's heart tightened suddenly, charging at her son? What kind of person was the one in front of her? However, no matter what kind of person it was, those who attacked her and her son were all enemies! She immediately took a defensive stance, ready to counterattack at any moment.

  "I don't know what you're talking about? What child? I don't know!"

  Respect the wine but don't drink, or you'll be punished with more wine! Mo Jiu's eyes narrowed dangerously. Since that's how it is, then don't blame him? He raised one hand, just about to grab her, but unexpectedly she slipped away from him.

  When that hand attacked, War Light Crazy's body immediately reacted with instinct, dodging and then using fire-type spiritual power to the extreme, attacking mercilessly. Unexpectedly, he waved his hand and all the spiritual power disappeared. There was no chance of resistance, it seemed she had met a formidable opponent today.

  Hiss, the kitten bared its claws, but it didn't have time to play with her now. Countless magical explosions directly sucked the kitten into his hand, and that delicate neck would snap with a slight effort.

  "Hand over the child!"

  "What child? None!" The force on his neck grew stronger, Warlight's hands grasped tightly but couldn't budge it in the slightest.

  "You have the aura of a demon on you, so don't try to provoke me." He pulled her scrunched up face towards him and said menacingly in her ear.

  Her body was lifted up, and her breathing became uneven. One or two people said she had the aura of a demon clan on her, but she wasn't from the demon clan, where did this aura come from? And they wanted her to hand over her son, harm her son, dream on! Even if they beat her to death, she wouldn't say it!

  "No!"

  "You mean you're out of your mind?" He narrowed his eyes, his patience had reached its limit, the force in his hand increased bit by bit, watching her face turn bright red.

  "Never... had..." When was she so timid? Dead man, as long as she didn't die, he would eventually return. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, and in the blink of an eye, Gluttony and You'er appeared together. As a result, the two majestic divine beasts had just appeared when they were directly pinned down by that man, unable to move even a little bit.

  Two divine beasts? Not bad abilities, but being so stubborn is not good. He placed his other hand on her head, conjured up magic to scan her entire body, and Mo Jiu closed her eyes, carefully sensing... a spatial ring, a broken cauldron, countless medicinal materials, a broken pearl, a trashy sacred artifact, and a mountain of food that was squeezed together. Mo Jiu's head was filled with black lines - this is how much she loves to eat! Suddenly, he saw countless clothes in the corner, including children's clothes.

  She increased her strength again, carefully examined it, and what? Hmm? Can't get in? Not believing it, she tried to enter again, but was blocked back. Suddenly opening her eyes, Mo Jiu Yu stared at the little girl in front of her, who had a bright red face and was struggling desperately, and threw her to the ground.

  "Do you have space?"

  "Cough...cough...cough..." She collapsed to the ground, her violent coughing fit showing no signs of abating. She had never felt so weak before. With a fierce glare at the man in front of her, her intense coughing brought tears to her eyes.

  Looking at those eyes that seemed to be weeping, Mo Jiu's mind suddenly recalled some fragments. By the water, a little girl with pear blossoms in her hair, her small body covered in wounds, her incessant cries for mercy... It was that little girl! The little servant girl in front of him was actually that tearful little girl from back then. So, it seemed she had given birth to the child? In other words, this little servant girl was his son's mother?

  "Is it you?"

  "Cough...cough..."

  "Hand over the child and I will spare your life." Yes, considering she gave birth to the next heir of the demon clan, he could spare her.

  Gasping for breath, she couldn't stop shaking as she thought back to what had just happened. Her whole body ached from the trembling, and she felt like she had been flayed alive from head to toe. She never wanted to try that again. Who would have thought this man was so formidable? Not only could he discover her life space, but also attempt to enter it. No way, absolutely not! Inside was her Xi'er. This man was mysterious and unpredictable - who knew what his intentions were? She had to protect her son, no matter what. Absolutely not!

  "Cough...cough, no, no children..."

  "What about the child's clothes in your ring?" Squatting down, pinching her chin, Mo Jiu asked in a low and intimidating tone.

  "Hobby!"

  "Fine, you can be stubborn if you want. I don't believe you'll never go see him again. Don't get caught by me, humph!" A red glow flashed in his eyes, and the man was clearly enraged.

  She would certainly go in and shake off this man before going in again.

  "You still have something to do, if not, then leave quickly, I don't know what child you're talking about. Now I'm leaving." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhan Qing thought he agreed and stood up, preparing to leave the place.

  "What are you following me for?" She took a step forward, the man followed closely behind her like a ghost, she was so annoyed that she wanted to kill him!

  "Follow you, can find the child." As long as he has the demonic aura, no matter where she goes, he can follow! See who can outlast whom!

  With a knot in her heart, she knew clearly that this was beyond her power, but she still accelerated her speed, even using the kicking cloud step from martial arts. When she turned back again, the man had indeed disappeared. Just as she caught her breath, she was startled by the voice behind her: "Are you looking for me?"

  The man looked at her with a wicked gaze, enjoying this game of cat and mouse.

  She didn't believe in evil, but she ran away again and again, only to be caught by the man behind her every time. She was tired of running, so she stopped. She felt like a fool, actually enjoying it with him. Thinking about the poison still on her body, the dust all over her, and the stench of sweat from running, she decided to take a bath.

  "Why aren't you running?" The man appeared ghostly behind her, his hands clasped behind his back, looking at her with a hint of a smile.

  "What's it to you?" Looking at the creek in front of her, she was quite moved. "Hey, turn around, I want to take a bath." Ximen Qing and the others wouldn't peek at her, but as for this man's abilities, she wasn't reassured.

  "You wash yours, whether I look or not is none of your business."

  "Him!" This man was her arch-nemesis, she couldn't even beat him in a fight, now she couldn't even outtalk him? When had the proud and arrogant Warlight ever been so stifled?

  "But any decent person wouldn't peek at a girl taking a bath."

  "I never said I was a good guy!"

  "Hmph!" What's the point of arguing with him? At worst, she can just wear a bellyband and be done with it!

  She pulled out a dagger and heated it over the fire, then slashed her limbs that had been entwined by spider silk earlier, releasing the toxic blood. A little black blood flowed out, and she gritted her teeth to endure the sour pain. She continued until red blood flowed out, then applied some medicine to treat herself. After doing everything, she glared fiercely at the man. If he weren't here, she would have entered the space long ago. Why suffer this injustice? However, thinking of Xīěr's worried little face, she endured it. Seeing her injured, Xīěr would worry.

  Mo Jiu Yu watched as the little girl in front of him cut open her limbs, releasing toxic blood and taking care of herself with swift movements. It was clear that she had done this many times before! For the first time, he felt curious about a human being so insignificant. The way she handled it with such swiftness showed that she must have been through a lot of hardships. What kind of environment did she grow up in? And how did her small body, only reaching his waist, survive the process of childbirth? How did she manage to give birth to a demonic fetus and still live? Once a demonic fetus forms, it absorbs the mother's energy, and even many demon women can't withstand it. What did she do differently? And how did she take care of her child? After all, the jade pendant showed that everything was fine, so she must have done something. He had too many questions he wanted to know the answers to! But the girl in front of him didn't seem willing to tell him anything. However, he was patient and would eventually find out the truth one day!
