Chapter 87: "Mother."
The next day was sunny.
The two got up early in the morning and rode the Peerless Sword to Mount Min.
To the west of Minshan Mountain, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and secret places can be seen everywhere. For convenience, Yun Wan put on the spirit seal again.
This place is not as rich in spiritual power as in Kunshan, nor is it as extensive as Hengshan's spiritual stones. Because of the steep mountain, few people are seen here. At night, you can see endless ink stains in the distance.
They walked for a whole day but didn't find the Great Secret Realm, and the night was dark, so Yun Wan chose a flat place to light a bonfire, took out the soft quilt prepared in advance from the storage bag, and fell asleep on the spot.
Xie Tingyun didn't sleep, he meditated peacefully, little sparks swayed slowly on his cold and flawless face, and in the midst of the silence, an undetectable gust of evil spirit rushed into his nose.
Xie Tingyun's eyebrows were still drooping, and he swept away lightly from the corner of his eye.
The demon was probably underage, and he was not good at hiding his aura, so he just hid in the grass majestically.
The little demon did not have any malicious intentions, and Xie Tingyun was not a person who killed indiscriminately, so he picked up the leftover spiritual fruit that Yun Wan ate from the ground, and threw it over.
He closed his eyes again, until something fell to his feet, and then lightly lifted his eyelids.
A round pearl rolled under the feet, emitting a beautiful luster under the refraction of the fire. Xie Tingyun's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his cold pupils looked towards the dark place.
He looks cold when he's not smiling.
Even if you don't deliberately reveal your cultivation, the spiritual pressure is still oppressive.
The little demon was frightened, and his demonic aura became more scattered.
"come over."
Xie Tingyun's voice was considered gentle, but the sound quality was cold, as if he was listening to orders.
"Don't be afraid."
As he said so, the little monster slowly jumped out of the grass.
The little monster looks like it is only three years old, and it has a dorsal fin. It is estimated that it will only transform itself, and it is not yet proficient.
Pretty is pretty, with big moist eyes staring at him pitifully and harmlessly.
Xie Tingyun threw a fruit over again.
He held it and didn't eat it.
"dislike?"
The little monster held the fruit and shook his head, aggrieved: "I...I have no pearls."
Xie Tingyun laughed dumbly.
"It's all right. I don't want your pearls."
When the little monster heard this, he began to eat.
After eating, he wiped his mouth and tentatively stepped out his little feet. Seeing that Xie Tingyun didn't drive away like other humans, he boldly rubbed beside him.
Looking up, she actually called softly: "Mother."
This title made Xie Tingyun's fingers tremble, and he almost fell over.
The little monster first arrived in the human world, just a few days after birth, not to mention race recognition, even the basic ability to distinguish. The kindness of Xie Tingyun in front of him made him find a long-lost sense of intimacy, the little monster was no longer afraid, he opened his small hand to hug his arm, and plunged into Xie Tingyun's arms fiercely.
He froze.
The movement of the two woke Yunwan up.
While sleepy, she saw a child kept crawling into Xie Tingyun's arms. She rubbed her eyes and slowly got up from the ground.
"This is?"
Yun Wan looked at the little monster.
He was wearing a pair of trousers all over his body, his little feet were bare, and he had a dorsal fin, so he knew that he was not a human being.
"Mother hugs..."
mother, father? ? ?
Not to mention drowsiness, Yun Wan woke up completely.
"I just slept for a while, you have a son so soon?!"
Is it my son?
Looking at that overly delicate face carved with powder and jade, Yun Wan felt a little uncertain.
Xie Tingyun opened his mouth to defend himself, but the little monster returned to its original form, shrunk into his arms, and found a warm place, muttering the word "mother" indistinctly.
The prototype of the little monster is very small, just the size of a palm.
His whole body is bright, and it is difficult to find him hiding in his robe. Xie Tingyun did not dare to pull it out forcefully, for fear of hurting the fragile little monster. So I sat there stiffly, my jawline getting tighter and tighter.
Yunwan looked at the little monster.
It looks like a horse and a shrimp, like... a seahorse?
She froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Laughing wantonly, Xie Tingyun frowned.
"He seems to be a seahorse demon."
"Um."
Yun Wan smiled and explained: "Haima is the father who gave birth..." She had read popular science. The female seahorse deposits her eggs in the male seahorse's pouch, where the male hatches. If the habits of seahorses in the cultivation world are the same as in modern times, then it's no wonder that the little seahorse monster recognizes Xie Tingyun as "mother".
Xie Tingyun's back became stiffer for a moment.
Yun Wan leaned closer and tapped the mouth of the little seahorse. This kind of little thing looks joyful and cute. She suddenly remembered a page in Chinese medicine. Tonify the kidney and strengthen the body."
The little monster sensed the danger and burrowed into his clothes.
Yun Wan didn't bother him anymore, and gently shook the little monster awake: "Where's your mother?"
The little monster stared at his black eyes and signaled to Xie Tingyun.
Yun Wan asked in a different way: "Where is your home?"
The little monster thought seriously for a while, and grabbed Xie Tingyun's sleeve again: "In mother's bag."
Yun Wan: "What about your mother?"
The little monster blinked and looked at Xie Tingyun again.
Yun Wan choked.
I heard that hippocampus is not very smart, so looking at this stupid person, they probably don't know anything.
Yun Wan didn't give up: "You really don't remember anything?"
The little monster curled up the tip of its tail because of fear, "...an uncle wants to kill me."
"who?"
He lowered his head and refused to speak, but fell asleep instead.
Xie Tingyun didn't drive him out, and threw the pearl to Yun Wan. She looked around and found that the pearl was of high quality, even better than the ones sold in the store.
The problem is, seahorses are not clams, so how can they carry pearls with them?
Yun Wan made a plan, tugged Xie Tingyun's cuff, and muttered in a low voice, "Let's take him home tomorrow." Seahorses basically live in the deep sea, and there are many treasures in the deep sea. If you can't find a big secret realm, it's not a loss to earn some rare treasures.
Xie Tingyun didn't agree, Yunwan took him as the default.
She lay back down again, and the little monster slept soundly in Xie Tingyun's arms.
He didn't think it was cumbersome, so he just hugged it patiently.
Xuan Ling suddenly said: [He must be a good father in the future. ]
Yun Wan: "?"
Xuanling: [If you don’t like having children, you can go to the Laishan Mirage to ask the Laishan Goddess to pray for blessings. After the Goddess blesses, a man can also conceive in October. Let Xie Tingyun give birth, he will definitely be willing. ]
Also, can it still be like this?
Yun Wan was shocked, and the useless knowledge increased again.
"Xie Tingyun, do you like children?"
This question came so suddenly that Xie Tingyun was unprepared.
He stared blankly into her eyes: "With the person you like, you like it."
Yun Wan's face... turned red.
The vague and ambiguous atmosphere overlapped between the two, and Yun Wan suddenly felt... It's okay to have a child with him, if he likes it, let him have a happy baby with Qibao
Yun Wan turned over and fell asleep happily.
Xie Tingyun didn't know what Yun Wan was thinking, but he misunderstood the meaning, and the corners of his lips rose even deeper.
**
At dawn, Yun Wan was awakened by the sound of small footsteps.
She half-closed her eyes, and saw a pair of fleshy little feet stepping on the ground. After a while, she ran directly into the woods.
Yun Wan was about to get up when Xie Tingyun stopped her.
She didn't make a sound, and followed Xie Tingyun on tiptoe.
The little monster ran around all over the woods. When it saw the fruit, it carefully picked it off. After picking two, it couldn't put it down.
He was a little distressed: "It's not enough for my mother and sister"
Dare to spend so much trouble picking fruits for her and Xie Tingyun?
Yun Wan always felt a little strange.
The little monster hid the small fruit in his pocket, and wanted to climb to a high place to pick the biggest one at last.
He couldn't crawl with his small hands and feet, and he didn't catch the tree trunk even when he stretched his hands the longest. His feet were unstable, and when he was about to fall, he was able to hold him steady.
Xie Tingyun silently withdrew the hand that was going to protect him.
The little monster successfully picked the fruit, and slowly climbed down again, but at this moment, the scarlet sword breath approached, Xie Tingyun's expression sharpened, he dodged forward, raised his sword to block, Yun Wan hurriedly ran over The little seahorse monster, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, was holding it in his arms.
After taking a few steps back, the sword energy came towards him again.
Yun Wan turned around and raised her arm, Xuan Ling blocked the sword light for her.
Yu Wuya held the sword in his right hand, and his cold eyes fixed on the little monster.
The intention to kill is heavy.
His hands were unsteady, the fruit fell all over the ground, and he hugged Yun Wan's arm and cried loudly.
"Give him to me."
Yun Wan cautiously hid beside Xie Tingyun.
The scarlet shadow sword's sword intent buzzed, and the scarlet cold light wrapped around the sword body, ready to go, as if it would cut its throat with a sword at any time.
Yun Wan understood: "You were the one chasing him?"
Yu Wuya didn't want to say more, his expression was impatient, and he rushed forward to grab it!
Xie Tingyun stood up to protect Yunwan, Yu Wuya didn't look sideways, brushed past him, and the immobilization technique hit Yunwan on the shoulder, she was anxious to dodge, but accidentally threw the little monster on the ground.
Yu Wuya's eyes were fierce, and the sword light flickered above his head.
Zheng-!
The moment the Scarlet Shadow Sword swung down, a silver light burst open in the forest like a dragon.
One red and one silver intertwined to form brilliance, the breath of the two swords intertwined and went straight into the sky, suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and the wind blew wildly.
A look of astonishment flashed across Yu Wuya's calm eyes, and he was the first to withdraw his sword.
The evil wind whipped up his black hair, his clothes fluttered, and Xie Tingyun held a silver sword, his whole body was cold.
Seeing that he was no longer doing anything, Yun Wan couldn't help standing up and saying, "He's a little monster who hasn't been weaned yet, why are you chasing him down?"
Yu Wuya tightened his lips: "His clan slaughtered an entire village, so I naturally have no reason to keep him."
His eyes were cold, and the little hippocampus hid behind Yun Wan with red eyes, his dirty little hands tugging at Yun Wan's sleeves.
"If his parents are unreasonable, I don't mind if you kill him; but he can only change form, a piece of blank paper, wouldn't you kill him randomly?" More importantly, Yun Wan also wanted to count on him to fish some fish from the bottom of the sea. What a rare treasure.
"Killing randomly?" As if hearing some good joke, Yu Wuya laughed coldly, and approached step by step, "The reason why monsters are monsters is because they are evil in nature. After a while, he will be like his clansmen." Burning, killing and plundering. How many innocent villagers have suffered from it since ancient times, and if I don’t kill the grass and roots, will I have to wait for him to grow up?”
Seeing that Yu Wuya was coming again, the little monster was so frightened that it changed back to its original shape, crying and jumping into Xie Tingyun's arms.
"Mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
The sound of mother and father made Yu Wuya laugh, and he looked at Xie Tingyun with more sarcasm.
"Who said that?" Yun Wan didn't agree with his point of view, "There are cunning and shameless ascetics, how can you conclude that the monster race is all villains? What's more, this little monster is so small and basically doesn't understand anything."
"Small?" Yu Wuya looked at her coldly, "Aren't the children killed by his tribe not small? When his tribe massacred the village, did they ever leave a way for those children who didn't understand anything?"
Yun Wan was dumbfounded.
He said, "No."
