Chapter 4
Reputation Ruined
"Cough cough, Junior Sister! This is the disciple Grand Martial Uncle just accepted."
Seeing Yu Yan's killing intent begin to rage like a storm, Zi Dan had no choice but to remind Hong Chu to release the child she was holding.
Hong Chu was startled. She turned to look at Grand Martial Uncle's murderous expression. But she still didn't want to give up her intention. She hugged the child tightly and asked,
"So it's Grand Martial Uncle's disciple. May I know this child's name?"
Yu Yan was startled upon hearing this. He thought for a moment, then said,
"Since she is my disciple, she will naturally bear my surname, Yu. Her given name will be… Er!"
That's the name. The second disciple.
Hearing this, Zhu Yao wanted to kick him in the face to vent her anger. You're the 'Second'! Your whole family is 'Second'!
"Oh, this child is acting spoiled with me."
Seeing the child in her arms flailing her limbs wildly, Hong Chu became even more delighted. She couldn't resist kissing that small face.
Zhu Yao had saliva on her face:
...
"But this child is too small. I think she probably hasn't been weaned yet. Coincidentally, I recently caught a milk-producing Spirit Beast. I can get its milk for her to drink. Or perhaps I can help Grand Martial Uncle raise this child for a few years?"
Yu Yan waved his hand, and the child in Hong Chu's arms flew back into his embrace. He replied coldly,
"No need."
Hong Chu sighed, seeing her attempt fail. But she still didn't intend to give up. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the child.
"A child so small needs mother's milk to grow up."
Hearing this, Zhu Yao shivered all over. She turned and buried her head in her Master's chest. She vigorously rubbed the saliva onto her Master's clothes. Why were there so many perverted uncles and aunts in this world? It was best to stay with Master for safety.
Ah! No, wait! Wasn't Master the first one to kidnap her?
Yu Yan saw his disciple's actions and felt very pleased. He adjusted her undergarments a little, then said to Hong Chu,
"Since that's the case, tomorrow you can bring that Spirit Beast to Yu Lin Peak for me."
After speaking, without waiting for Hong Chu's reaction, he carried his newly accepted little disciple and flew back to Yu Lin Peak.
Zhu Yao felt like she was about to turn into a pig. Every day, besides eating, her second activity was sleeping. And her Master did everything else she needed in life. He personally boiled water for her bath. He personally sewed and changed her undergarments. Even when sleeping, she lay on his bed.
Of course, the one sleeping was her, while her Master merely sat beside the bed.
The only thing she couldn't stand was, why did he also want to bathe her? Even though she was just a child now, this child also felt embarrassed when touched by the opposite sex, right? Every day, she was stripped naked by a man, then thrown into a basin of water to be scrubbed and kneaded. Such a thing made her… her… it even became a habit for her.
Zhu Yao contorted her face and looked up at the sky. And her Master kept scrubbing, and scrubbing. Ah! I'm going to die!! Wuwuwu!! Anyway, her reputation was already ruined; there probably wasn't much left now.
Yu Yan carried his disciple out of the basin. He dried her, then dressed her. After that, he gazed at her round face. Looking at her face made him feel a sense of doubt. This disciple of his was truly strange. A few days ago, when he carried her back, she was often angry with him. Her face was always crying. How was it that the more he raised her, the quieter she became? Now, let alone crying, she didn't even show any expression on her face. That small face now only knew how to open its round eyes and look at the sky. Clearly, there were no injuries on her face; he truly wondered if she had been bitten by something, why her face was so blank.
Yu Yan loosened his grip, then neatly dressed Zhu Yao. After that, he laid her face up towards the Spirit Beast's udder. Being pressed against the udder made her grumble and cry out. She grumbled a few more times, then drank a few gulps and it was all gone. Good, full and ready to sleep. She tilted her head and lay directly on the ground. Anyway, her reputation was gone, so she decided to contentedly be a pig.
Nanny Yu Yan sighed. He picked her up from the ground and went into the room. Then, he gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
When he saw no signs of her stirring, only then did he go out the door. Hong Chu had brought him a Tiger Spirit Beast in its weaning period, so its milk was gone. Therefore, he needed to go catch another one to replace it.
Children's play and rest were truly strange. Even if Zhu Yao's inner self was an old soul, she couldn't control the needs of this body. When Zhu Yao woke up, it was the middle of the night. The room was empty. She looked around but saw no trace of her Master. Zhu Yao waited for a while, but still didn't see her Master, so she decided to climb out the door to look.
Although her biceps and calves were very small now, she climbed very quickly. In a moment, she had climbed out into the courtyard.
Outside was very quiet. Occasionally, she heard the sound of insects. It was pitch black all around, but strangely, she could see and hear clearly. This feeling was no different from when she was at Foundation Establishment. Could it be that her cultivation base had also transmigrated with her when she revived?
Zhu Yao immediately felt excited. She wanted to circulate the spiritual qi in her body but found her Dantian empty. There was simply nothing in her Dantian to circulate.
Suddenly, a claw lunged in front of her. She instinctively tumbled forward. After grumbling a few times, she then just rolled forward. Oh no!
Zhu Yao instinctively hugged her head to protect it from injury. But her body was originally plump, so when she hugged her head, she was no different from a ball, which made her roll even faster. Along the way, mud continuously stuck to her body, until she bumped into something soft and finally stopped.
"Ah!"
A deep male voice came from beside her ear. A moment later, she was picked up.
"I picked up a little bun."
Before her was a white-robed man. This man held a sword, and he was also an acquaintance.
"Naughty child!"
Zhu Yao blurted out the sound, but the sound that came out was that of a child. Casually rolling a few times, and she met him. Fate was truly unfathomable.
Ah! No, wait. Why did the naughty child grow up looking different from before? Although he had the same face, compared to his naive face as a child, he now looked much more mature. His face had more angular features, and even short stubble had grown on his chin. In just a few months of not seeing him, why had there been such a big change?
Of course, Wang Ci Zhi didn't recognize her. He smiled gently, then hugged her. Conveniently, he cast a "Cleanse" Secret Art to dispel the mud clinging to her body. He helped her untangle her messy hair and said,
"What an adorable bun."
Zhu Yao glanced at him. Her figure was a bit plump now. Why did this brat call her a bun? A chubby child was a blessing. When he was ten, he also looked like a bun, and now he dared to call her a bun. Hmph!
"What, not convinced?"
Wang Ci Zhi mischievously pinched her cheek.
"So round, and both white and soft, if it's not a bun, then what is it?"
Zhu Yao struggled, trying to escape his clutches. Hmph! Naughty child, you remember this. When this old woman can speak, I will tell everyone your dark history.
Seeing her extremely angry, he still recklessly pinched her cheek again. The more Wang Ci Zhi pinched, the more delighted he felt. Suddenly, his conscience stirred, and he quickly rubbed the red mark on her small cheeks, then said,
"Alright! Don't be angry with me anymore. This Senior Brother was just teasing you a little. It's already this late, why are you, a little bun, running around alone everywhere?"
Zhu Yao turned her head away, ignoring him. When did I run here?? I rolled here!
"Which peak are you a disciple of? I'll take you back."
Wang Ci Zhi asked.
Zhu Yao mumbled and pointed towards the mountain peak.
