Chapter 2358: The baby
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
In less time than it took a column of incense to burn, they killed the seventeen monstrous beasts. Seeing the bloody ground, they crossed over and went to the place where the small boundary barrier was located.
As they approached, they finally saw underneath that earlier was blocked by weeds. They finally saw that the child was not on the ground, but in a magical artifact shaped like a small bowl.
“What kind of magical artifact is this? I can’t see the material.” Feng Jiu looked at the thing underneath the child.
“First break the boundary barrier. We’ll know after we take it out to see.” The old man said, motioning her to start.
Feng Jiu still didn’t do anything but stare at the little child. “Old man, do you think this child has no problem? It should not be a transformed monstrous beast, right?”
Sage Hun Yuan couldn’t help laughing loudly. He glanced at Feng Jiu. Seeing her tangled face, he smiled. “Why? Once bitten by a snake, will you be scared of a grass rope for a decade?”
“No, but it’s not nice if it turns into a monster in my embrace again.” Feng Jiu said with a frown. But, she still stretched out her hands to form a mark. As her spirit energy surged, the boundary barrier split open.
Perhaps because the baby had been crying too long, its voice sounded a little hoarse. Feng Jiu looked at the baby’s dancing hands and feet. The baby only had a small belly band on its body, while the outer blanket was already kicked under its body. Seeing the pink tender chubby child, she bent down to hold the baby up.
Once the baby was in her embrace, it felt tender yet heavy. She held it in one hand, opened a corner of its belly band, took a glance, and said with a smile, “It’s a boy.”
While saying this, she looked at Sage Hun Yuan who was taking a look at the magical artifact and asked a little helplessly, “How do I feel that I am predestined with little babies and infant beasts? I’ll pick one up as soon as I go out.”
“Since you’ve never picked up a baby before, it’s your destiny to meet this one. You can afford to keep a few more babies, not to mention the contract beasts. This baby is the same. I’m sure you’re going to raise him, too.”
Sage Hun Yuan remarked. Seeing the baby didn’t cry after he was inside Feng Jiu’s embrace, he joked. “You see, the baby doesn’t cry when he is in your arms, as if he knows you are his mother.”
Hearing this, a few black lines streaked across her forehead in annoyance. “I’m not married yet!”
“What if you aren’t married yet? Can’t you adopt a child without getting married? It’s not a big problem to keep and raise him by your side.”
The old man said with disapproval. He handed the blanket and the artifact to Feng Jiu. “In my opinion, the child’s origin must be unusual. The corpses we saw earlier should not be the child’s parents.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” She raised her eyebrows with some surprise.
“This thing is an immortal artifact, not an ordinary magical artifact. There’s a pattern on it, but even the old man can’t tell where the immortal artifact came from. This immortal artifact is ownerless. It’s just used as a cot for the child to sleep. Thus, it can be seen that the child’s parents must be extraordinary.”
Sage Hun Yuan paused his speech. While stroking his beard, he said, “Based on my deduction and conjecture, those who died were just servants who took care of the baby.. Those servants took the young master to such a place, I think it’s because they fled from their enemies.”
