Chapter 47

Li Jiayi very briefly glanced towards Tian Mengshen before making eye contact with Ming Yongnian, and shifted his gaze to Jiang Xiaotong once more. "Xiaotong I know that you are bored, it does not mean that you can add more responsibilities into my long list."

Jiang Xiaotong was caught. The man only gave Li Jiayi a sunny smile and said, "If I don't dump responsibilities on others before it's created I might be the sad soul who's in charge."

No wonder, Tian Mengshen thought that the "issue" raised by Jiang Xiaotong was rather lackluster and a weak argument. Turns out the master tamer, Jiang Xiaotong, was sowing trouble and threw a potential work to others. This way of thinking ahead by several steps, Tian Mengshen was not expecting Jiang Xiaotong to perform.

Li Jiayi's lips twitched with annoyance. "I suppose for now we could have Wu Jinjing contact her parents."

Wu Jinjing's parents? Tian Mengshen wondered how Wu Jinjing's family could help. He couldn't recall any information from Mimi relating to Wu Jinjing's family. It's like they never existed.

Jie Qiqiang's eyes lit up as if remembering something. He said, "That's right Wu Jinjing, you should be the one helping us plan all of this plant related endeavor. Between all of us you collect spiritual plants, and your parents are one."

Tian Mengshen's eyes slightly widened. Wu Jinjing's parents were spiritual plants? This certainly explains the woman's passion for spiritual plants. And the rumors that she hated any intelligent living being.

"I would have if all of you had not pushed the old man to me when we first arrived here." The edge of Wu Jinjing's lips curled upwards.

They did, didn't they?

"Oh well, your parents will definitely be the best people to ask. I bet they'll love to help you little sister." Jiang Xiaotong made a show of brushing off the dust on his sleeves.

"I haven't seen them in a while. I'm sure they mentioned that they would like to join you in your work, Jinjing." Luo Huifang sounded cheery.

These two were changing the script. Tian Mengshen was certain of it. Like he was certain that there was something wrong with Wu Jinjing's smile. Her eyes were narrowed, there was a cruel twist to her lips, and the way her head was tilted to the side ever so slightly like she was a forgotten possessed porcelain doll on the corner. Wu Jinjing spoke, "I'm sure with my parents' help I might just produce my best piece of potions yet."

Tian Mengshen will not doubt Wu Jinjing's words. Though whether or not the "best potion" was the best at killing people or reviving them was an answer still up in the clouds.

Wu Jinjing then said, "Since Meihui is preoccupied with Lan Jianhong, I'll take eldest sister and Xiaotong to see my parents."

Jiang Xiaotong quickly said while smiling, "You could always invite them over."

Luo Huifang smiled too. "I'm sure uncle and aunt will be delightfully surprised with the chance of filling the entire realm with plants."

Lai Meihui refused to be outdone and gave the two her brightest smiles.

For the others watching these three's interaction they could see the sparkles and glitters floating between them. At the same time there was a wave of dark tentacle-like aura surrounding them. It was a very colorful scene.

The staring match lasted for a minute long before the Devil Venerable's laughter broke the glittery and dark effect. All of their attention turned to the Devil Venerable who was wiping a tear, one baby looking bored slinged over his shoulder by a rope.

"Ah… the three of you are far more entertaining than those eunuchs in my court. Perhaps I should hire you instead of those fools."

Immediately Jiang Xiaotong, Luo Huifang, and Wu Jinjing raised their hands. "No thanks." And flatly refused Mo Huijun's advance.

Mo Huijun clicked his tongue. "Pity."

"Jinjing it's better to call your parents over." Feng Delun made the final verdict.

How will Wu Jinjing react? Tian Mengshen gauged the woman's expression.

The temperature around Wu Jinjing has dropped. Contrasting her warm smile. It was like she was a tall icy mountain in the morning light.

As for Tian Mengshen's Shifu and Jiang Xiaotong… he could only describe their expression as having a shit eating grin. Tian Mengshen's lips thinned. He was glad he wasn't some other child ghost.

It seemed that Tian Mengshen's Shifu took notice of his stare. The woman promptly changed her face.

I have seen your face Shifu, Tian Mengshen said silently in his heart.

Even when she was a frosty mountain Wu Jinjing still called her parents over diligently. Once more the temperature around her rose up into a sunny breezy summer day. The change from cold to warm was so sudden Tian Mengshen felt that someone had l pushed him through a portal. From a wintery palace to the sunny beachside. Then Wu Jinjing had to go and escort her parents to the barren realm. She moved very quickly. Perhaps in a way Wu Jinjing was happy enough to welcome her parents into the barren realm.

Now that Wu Jinjing had left Tian Mengshen's attention returned to Mo Huijun and the baby. She was still hung. As for the reason why the baby was hung…

She was hanged because she forgot to kiss the Devil Venerable. It looks like as a punishment the Devil Venerable made the baby kiss him every morning and before bed. Last night the baby went straight to sleep.

Now she was hung upside down.

The baby's Immortal father tried his best to save the baby to no avail. Using force to pry the baby away from the Devil Venerable would only hurt the baby. So there was nothing that Ming Yongnian could do except verbally help the baby. It only did so much.

Ming Yongnian spoke, "Mo Huijun, has it not been long enough?" The Immortal was referring to how long his baby was hung upside down.

"Long?" The Devil Venerable scoffed. "Five hours of training is far from 'long'. She could do another ten."

Jie Qiqiang who was watching the fledgling fathers fussing over one babe finally commented,"I don't think it is good for the little ancestor to be hanged for that long."

The Devil Venerable predictably threw a glare to Jie Qiqiang's way.

To which Jie Qiqiang chuckled, sweating, and raised his hand in a universal gesture of peace. "I was merely showing my concern. Babies are generally fragile. Especially human babies. They were not allowed to be within two mountain distance of a forging mountain."

Jin Liwei showed interest and asked, "I didn't know your sect had that kind of rule."

Jie Qiqiang's expression turned serious. "The Sect Leader's wife had wanted to take their child to the Sect Leader who was in his forging mountain. Within two mountains away from the Sect Leader's forging mountain her baby's spiritual vein almost ruptured. They had to call Wu Jinjing's Shifu."

Hearing Wu Jinjing's Shifu being mentioned, Luo Huifang grimaced. "If that old hag of Wu Jinjing's Shifu had to be called it must've been serious."

Jie Qiqiang nodded grimly. Then the muscular man's face broke into a smile. "Though the Sect Leader's son is now growing steadily into an amazing blacksmith specializing in the creation of artifacts." He met Feng Delun's eyes. "His array formation is not half bad. Currently he's attempting to attach complex arrays formation into his creations."

The corner of Feng Delun's mouth lifted slightly. "I'm sure if that child is successful we will be hearing more of his name."

Li Jiayi also added into the argument, "Apart from what my brothers had told you, Mo Huijun. A human baby requires a bottle of milk more than three times a day. It should be around now that the little ancestor requires her bottle."

"Oh? Is this knowledge came from one of your dust filled papers." Mo Huijun sharp sword-like leer fell to Li Jiayi.

The palms of Li Jiayi's hands were sweating. With the presence of Ming Yongnian Li Jiayi had nothing to fear the Devil Venerable. "In every book pertaining to human babies." Clearing his throat Li Jiayi then said, "Mo Huijun, you might not be a human. But a part of your child is. I hope as a father you will not ignore this fact."

Li Jiayi!!! Everyone in the room cheered happily for the bookworm of a man.

Sensing the killing intent before it was even formed. In a flash Luo Huifang stood before her disciple shielding the little ghost from Mo Huijun's corrosive killing intent. Feng Delun followed Luo Huifang, shielding the little ghost, and had formed a shielding array for the three of them. Jie Qiqiang, Jiang Xiaotong, and Jin Liwei acted as a shield for Li Jiayi. Though Jin Liwei was already sweating a bucket between the three.

Ming Yongnian and Kaijun stood in between them all. A golden dome had covered the baby hung upside down. While Ming Yongnian redirected the rest of the Devil Venerable's killing intent heading towards the rest of the room occupants outside of the house.
