Xiao Man slept for two days before waking up. The moment she opened her eyes, she looked around. Seeing Ze Fang lying beside her, she still worriedly pulled open his sleeve. Seeing that the wound had healed, leaving only a scar, she finally relaxed and lay back down.
"Still sleeping? You've been sleeping for two days," Old Qin grumbled endlessly.
Xiao Man turned over and looked at Old Qin, "Ancestor, thank you."
Old Qin floated to the bedside and glanced at Ze Fang lying next to Xiao Man, "When are you going to send this kid away?"
Ze Fang tensed up, regretting that he had pretended to be asleep. Old Qin was truly detestable!
"I can't send him away now, and besides, I don't know where his parents are, so how can I send him away?" Xiao Man gently stroked Ze Fang's head, "Moreover, I can afford to raise a child."
Old Qin's face darkened. You raise him? This kid is mysterious, can produce many good things, and his origin is unknown. Just guessing his identity based on a space that can hold living people, this is not a child, this is a thousand-year-old demon!
"Xiao Man'er, I think the child is still young and cannot be separated from his biological parents for a long time," Old Qin said earnestly, "Children should grow up by their biological parents' side."
"What if his biological parents don't want him anymore?"
Old Qin choked, "How is that possible? What parents in the world don't dote on their children..."
As he spoke, Old Qin suddenly fell silent. Are there no parents in the world who don't dote on their children? Of course, there are! Old Qin immediately deflated, floated to the door. Xiao Man got out of bed quietly, covered Ze Fang with the quilt, and followed him out.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?" Xiao Man sat down beside Old Qin and asked doubtfully.
Old Qin hesitated to speak several times. He didn't know how to say it. A child was struck by heavenly lightning, which was very abnormal. Moreover, this kid seemed to know everything and was frighteningly intelligent.
"What do you think of Little Seven?"
"He's quite good."
"What do you think of his upbringing?"
"He's quite good." Xiao Man was confused. Ze Fang's upbringing was very good, no different from a child raised in the palace.
"Such good upbringing, it must not be a child raised by an ordinary family, right?" Old Qin felt he should subtly remind Xiao Man that the kid was not simple.
"Ordinary people can also raise excellent children," Xiao Man added.
"Little Seven is still a child, why was he struck by heavenly lightning?" Old Qin, having been defeated in the first round, immediately changed his strategy. An ordinary person struck by heavenly lightning would have been turned to ashes long ago. This kid was struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning but only had a scar, which was incredible.
"Yes, heaven is too cruel, striking even a child." Xiao Man nodded in agreement, "Ancestor, who made the heavenly way?"
Old Qin was stunned. Who made the heavenly way?
"Heaven!"
"Is heaven a person?"
Old Qin scratched his head, "It should be a god, right?"
"Are gods born, or made by people?"
Old Qin felt his brain couldn't keep up. Gods should be born, but who is born a god? Gods might be made by people...
Old Qin looked at Xiao Man with shocked eyes, "You mean, gods are also people?"
"Are gods people?" Xiao Man asked innocently.
Old Qin immediately fell into this question, constantly asking himself, could gods be people? Meaning, do people become gods when they cultivate to a certain level?
After successfully confusing Old Qin, Xiao Man quietly left, not wanting to disturb Old Qin's contemplation.
Xiao Man opened the door and leaned against the doorway, looking at Ze Fang sleeping on the bed, and couldn't help but smile. At first, she just smiled secretly, but then her laughter grew louder and louder. Ze Fang could no longer pretend to be asleep and sat up from the bed!
"What are you laughing at?" Ze Fang pouted and asked angrily.
"Are you so worried that I'll abandon you?" Xiao Man walked to the bedside and rubbed Ze Fang's head.
Ze Fang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. If it were in the past, he would have sneered disdainfully. He had always been alone, not needing relatives or friends. But now, he no longer wanted to be alone.
"I don't want to be alone."
"You silly child, I am your father, I won't leave you," Xiao Man said gently and lovingly, "So, you don't have to worry."
"But you are not my biological father," Ze Fang said pitifully.
"Even if I am not your biological father, I will not leave you, so stop worrying." Xiao Man pinched Ze Fang's chubby little cheeks, "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
Ze Fang's eyes lit up, "I want to eat meatballs, roasted meat, and steamed fish."
"Okay," Xiao Man said dotingly, "Wait for me."
"No, I want to help you." Ze Fang jumped off the bed and went to help Xiao Man.
It was thanks to Xiao Man's daily practice of moving items into her space. Although the space was still simple, it had everything it needed.
"Where did this fish pond come from?" Ze Fang asked while catching fish.
"Fifty miles outside Wuji City, there's a fish pond with quite a few fish in it. I really liked it, so I moved it in."
"And this orchard?"
"Deep in the Roland Mountain Range, there's an orchard guarded by a fierce beast. I tried to pick a few fruits several times, but it wouldn't let me. In a fit of anger, I moved the entire orchard in."
Ze Fang chuckled, "Xiao Qin, do you take everything you like?"
Xiao Man flicked her fingers and gave Ze Fang a tap on the head, "Call me Father!"
Ze Fang rubbed his head and turned his face away. Before, he didn't know Xiao Man's true identity as a woman, so he called her Father to stay by her side. Now that he knew her true identity, calling her Father was absolutely impossible!
"I caught a fish." Ze Fang gave the fish to Xiao Man. The two lived a happy, leisurely life, while outside, the search for her had turned the world upside down!
The disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were even more like birds startled by a bow, not even understanding what had happened. Especially when they encountered Jun Fei'er, they drew their swords and attacked without a word.
Qi Hong led the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect, hiding and fleeing, "What is going on? Why are the people from the Seven Great Sects chasing us?"
"I heard that a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect killed a disciple of the Hundred Herbs Hall."
"Find the one who killed them! Why are you attacking indiscriminately?" Qi Hong was about to spit blood. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the elder leading the Hundred Herbs Hall was chasing them like his son had died. They couldn't take it anymore.
"I heard that the one killed was Jun Fei'er's disciple, and was killed by a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect."
"Her disciple, who?"
"It seems to be... who was it?" One person looked at another disciple who was gasping for breath, "The one with the protector..."
"The Protector with a Child."
"Yes, the Protector with a Child, Xiao Qin."
"Xiao Qin is dead?" Qi Hong was very surprised. That arrogant, incredibly conceited Xiao Qin, is dead?
