âDaddy?â
That word brought everyoneâs gazes to Chu Feng in an instant.
The Lady of Dao Sea still looked normal, but Eggy, Yu Sha, and Wang Yuxian had a bizarre look in their eyes. They were all âbig sistersâ, so why would the address suddenly change when it got to Chu Feng?
âDaddy, daddy! I want a hug!â
The female baby called out to Chu Feng with her childlike voice as she stretched her hands toward him. It was truly adorable.
Even though the female baby was still young, such that her facial features had yet to fully develop, one could still see the makings of a beauty in her.
Faced with such a cute female baby, Chu Feng reached out and carried her over to his side.
Now that she was finally in Chu Fengâs hands, the female baby looked extraordinarily excited. She seemed to be even happier than when she was in Eggyâs embrace earlier.
âChu Feng, whatâs going on? When did you have a baby with the evil spirits in the Asura Graveyard?â
Eggy placed her hands on her hips as she began interrogating him.
âMilady Queen, donât talk nonsense. You said yourself that you could see everything that I did while you were in closed-door training. When had I ever gotten involved with an evil spirit?â
Chu Feng knew that Eggy was joking with him, but he still couldnât help but hurriedly clarify the misunderstanding.
âIs it between you and Yu Sha then?â Eggy pressed on.
âMiss Queen, you...â
Those words made Yu Shaâs face flush red. A slight hint of rage and indignance surfaced in her eyes.
âHahahaha, Iâm just joking. Thereâs no need to take it so seriously!â
Seeing how Yu Sha wasnât taking the joke too well, Eggy quickly laughed it off and explained that she was not being serious here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âStill, itâs weird how this female baby is calling Chu Feng her father.â
Wang Yuxian looked at the excited female baby in Chu Fengâs arms as she remarked.
âIsnât that simple? This female baby is no ordinary being, and Chu Feng was the first one to satiate her appetite. So, she ended up instinctively viewing Chu Feng as her father. If you take out some source energies to feed her right now, she might just call you her mommy,â Eggy replied.
âIs that so? I do have some source energies on hand at the moment,â Wang Yuxian said.
âMiss Wang, you seem oddly proactive about this.â
With narrowed eyes, Eggy teased Wang Yuxian cheekily.
âThe three of you shouldnât take nonsense.â
It was then that the Lady of Dao Sea walked over and assessed the female baby in Chu Fengâs arms close-up too. Chu Feng passed the female baby over to the Lady of Dao Sea so that the latter could take a closer look.
âGrandma! Grandma!â
The female baby didnât seem to be averse to the Lady of Dao Sea. Instead, she even began addressing the latter intimately too. Under her sweet calls, the Lady of Dao Seaâs solemn face quickly collapsed into a smile too.
Had it not been for the wariness she felt toward the female baby, she would have surely been fond of the latter too.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, who do you intend to deal with this female baby?â the Lady of Dao Sea asked.
âThis matter concerns the Asura Graveyard, but I didnât think that it would be a female baby inside that box. To be honest, Iâm not very sure how to handle this situation either,â Chu Feng replied honestly.
âThis female baby consumes source energies to grow. Even though sheâs a world spirit, it would be a huge mistake to view her as any ordinary world spirits. There might be no demonic energy on her, but the earlier commotion showed that sheâs no ordinary being.
âIf young friend Chu Feng doesnât mind, I do have an idea in mind. You can entrust her with me for the time being. Iâll keep an eye out for her, and if thereâs really something amiss about her, Iâll be able to handle it right away. Of course, this child is still yours. If you change your mind at any point in time, you can come over to fetch her,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âChu Feng, you should leave her with the Lady of Dao Sea for the time being. It wonât be convenient for you to bring a child around with you. Besides, the Dao Sea is filled with women, so we can trust them to take care of her well. Arenât you planning to enter the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect to find Zi Ling?â Eggy asked.
Chu Feng had already told Eggy about the message his master had left for him in the letter delivered by Zhang Yingxiong, so Eggy had a clear idea of what Chu Feng was planning to do next.
In truth, Chu Fengâs initial thought was to simply seal off whatever that was in the box if it was a demonic being. However, who could have thought that it would actually be a female baby?
Had she been born in the Asura Graveyard, she would have likely been accorded the highest of treatments. Given that Chu Feng was the one who smuggled her out, it would be wrong for him to leave her to the lurch. He couldnât help but feel responsible for her.
However, Eggy was right as well. He was planning to enter the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, and this female baby, as adorable as she might be, was a potential risk factor.
And most importantly of all, this female baby thrived on source energies. Chu Feng had saved up a huge amount of source energies for Eggy while the latter was in closed-door training, but just earlier on, this female baby had already devoured it all.
There was no way Chu Feng could go around killing innocent people in order to feed this child, right?
âElder, this female baby needs source energies in order to grow. What is your plan regarding that?â Chu Feng asked.
âItâs mere source energies. I have my ways. Rest assured, as long as this female baby isnât a demonic being, I wonât mistreat or starve her. However, if she turns out to be a threat, Iâll have to apologize in advance, but I have no intentions of leaving her be. Of course, if young friend Chu Feng finds it hard to trust me, you may take her away with you,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âWhat are you saying, elder? How could I possibly not trust you? Since you have generously offered your help, Iâm counting on you to take care of her then,â Chu Feng said.
âIâm heartened by the trust you have in me. I havenât done anything much to help you today, so you need not consider this as a request. I still owe you a favor for saving Lele, so if you find yourself faced with any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me. Iâll surely aid you,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âIâm flattered by your kindness, elder.â
Chu Feng didnât reject the Lady of Dao Seaâs offer. He was still weak at the moment, and he had unwittingly made a lot of enemies. In desperate situations, he might really need the Lady of Dao Seaâs help.
Having made up his mind, Chu Feng entrusted the female baby he had taken out from the Asura Graveyard to the Lady of Dao Sea and prepared to leave the area. He was planning to head for the formation that led into the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.
âDaddy, daddy!â
However, seemingly sensing that Chu Feng was planning to leave her, the female baby began bawling loudly. This made Chu Feng feel a little guilt-ridden, and he suddenly found himself a little unwilling to leave.
âChu Feng, you havenât given her a name yet. She calls you her father, so shouldnât you be the one to name her?â Wang Yuxian asked.
âI thought that she would be a fearsome demon, but who could have thought that she would be so adorable? Since âdemonâ is my first impression of her, why donât we call her Yaoyao?â Chu Feng asked.
âArenât you being too casual here? Who in the world would name a girl Yaoyao? However, I do like the name a lot, so letâs go with it,â Eggy said with a giggle.
âYaoyao sounds great. If the child minds it in the future, we can simply change the characters with a homophone,â Wang Yuxian added.
âItâs settled then. Child, remember this. From this day onward, youâll be known as Yaoyao. This is the name that Iâve given you. If youâre obedient, Iâll surely come back in the future to fetch you, alright?â Chu Feng patted the female babyâs head as he spoke.
âUwaaa! Daddy doesnât want me anymore! Daddy wants to abandon me!â
However, the female baby still wasnât taking Chu Fengâs departure well, and she began crying even more sorrowfully. This made Chu Fengâs heart ache a little for her, and his reluctance to leave grew even more.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, you should hurry along. The child is in safe hands, so you need not worry,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
Chu Feng also knew that it wouldnât be easy to coax this female baby, so he chose to decisively turn around and take her leave. He quickly stepped through a teleportation formation before rushing toward the teleportation formation leading toward the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect!
