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.
âWhat kind of magical artifact is this? I canât see the material.â Feng Jiu looked at the thing underneath the child.
âFirst break the boundary barrier. Weâll know after we take it out to see.â The old man said, motioning her to start.
Feng Jiu still didnât do anything but stare at the little child. âOld man, do you think this child has no problem? It should not be a transformed monstrous beast, right?â
Sage Hun Yuan couldnât help laughing loudly. He glanced at Feng Jiu. Seeing her tangled face, he smiled. âWhy? Once bitten by a snake, will you be scared of a grass rope for a decade?â
âNo, but itâs not nice if it turns into a monster in my embrace again.â 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 babyâs 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, âItâs a boy.â
While saying this, she looked at Sage Hun Yuan who was taking a look at the magical artifact and asked a little helplessly, âHow do I feel that I am predestined with little babies and infant beasts? Iâll pick one up as soon as I go out.â
âSince youâve never picked up a baby before, itâs 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. Iâm sure youâre going to raise him, too.â
Sage Hun Yuan remarked. Seeing the baby didnât cry after he was inside Feng Jiuâs embrace, he joked. âYou see, the baby doesnât cry when he is in your arms, as if he knows you are his mother.â
Hearing this, a few black lines streaked across her forehead in annoyance. âIâm not married yet!â
âWhat if you arenât married yet? Canât you adopt a child without getting married? Itâs not a big problem to keep and raise him by your side.â
The old man said with disapproval. He handed the blanket and the artifact to Feng Jiu. âIn my opinion, the childâs origin must be unusual. The corpses we saw earlier should not be the childâs parents.â
âHuh? What do you mean?â She raised her eyebrows with some surprise.
âThis thing is an immortal artifact, not an ordinary magical artifact. Thereâs a pattern on it, but even the old man canât tell where the immortal artifact came from. This immortal artifact is ownerless. Itâs just used as a cot for the child to sleep. Thus, it can be seen that the childâs parents must be extraordinary.â
Sage Hun Yuan paused his speech. While stroking his beard, he said, âBased 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 itâs because they fled from their enemies.â
