From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 268: Chapter 363: The Colorful Little Guy_1

As soon as he thought of the colorful little fellow, Fang Ren immediately gathered all the remaining True Qi in his body, which had been mostly absorbed, into a sharp stream of light, directly connecting it to the ankle of the baby.

In an instant, Fang Ren only felt a burst of power surge through his meridians, and then a large portion of his True Qi was absorbed once more.

Grinding his teeth, Fang Ren hurriedly located the colorful little fellow inside the baby's body. The little fellow had grown quite a bit from its original shape—if it was originally the size of a bean, now it was the size of a potato.

The moment he found the colorful little fellow, Fang Ren was stunned to see it happily absorbing True Qi within the baby's body, dancing with joy, its appearance resembling that of a child who had seen candy.

It seemed that the reason Mu Huanqing's True Qi was draining so rapidly was that the little fellow knew its master was about to be born and had started to store energy in advance.

But this method of storing energy was not right at all.

"You little rascal!"

Fang Ren urgently used his own True Qi to pull it away from where it was surrounded by True Qi, and in an instant, there appeared in Fang Ren's hand a potato-sized little fellow resembling his Spirit Form, made up of several round spheres put together, looking like a rag doll.

As the colorful one was pulled out, the pained expression on Mu Huanqing's face clearly eased a lot, her Spiritual Root began frantically producing True Qi, continuously filling her meridians.

The fetus also seemed to start showing signs of improvement...

"Ah ha!"

As soon as the colorful little fellow came out and saw Fang Ren, its entire little face suddenly smiled, its two round arms waving constantly as if asking Fang Ren for a hug.

"Ah ha! I'm letting you off easy by not spanking you!"

Fang Ren, learning that it was because of it that Mu Huanqing was in such a state, was too angry to speak and promptly flicked the colorful little fellow's bottom with his finger.

Pop—

"Ah ha..."

A look of grievance appeared on the colorful little fellow's face; it didn't understand why its master's father would hit it, when clearly it was storing True Qi for its master's birth, to ensure the master's safe growth.

"Grievance!"

Pointing at the little one's head, Fang Ren spoke with a face full of anger, "Do you realize how much your master's mother has suffered?"

The colorful little fellow, looking at Fang Ren's angry expression, immediately shielded its small face with its two round arms, looking afraid of being hit.

"Ah ha..."

Fang Ren intended to continue lecturing a few more words, but then he saw tears welling up in the little one's big eyes, looking as if it was about to cry at any moment.

Seeing this, Fang Ren felt helpless in his heart, knowing that the little fellow hadn't intended to harm Mu Huanqing and turn her into this state, but simply wanted to absorb the strong True Qi nearby.

It was still young, ignorant of everything, so he couldn't blame it.

Now that Mu Huanqing was free from pain, he didn't want to scold the little fellow anymore. After all, this was his child's Spirit Form, in other words, Fang Ren was its grandfather.

Fang Ren sighed and gently rubbed the little fellow's head, after all, this little guy was just a newborn.

"Don't cry, otherwise I'll spank your bottom."

Having said that, Fang Ren cradled it in his palm and fed it with his own True Qi. As just a child, upon realizing that Fang Ren wasn't going to spank it and was even giving it something to eat, it immediately cheered up, wiped away its tears, and began nibbling contently on Fang Ren's palm.

Fang Ren promptly directed his True Qi into Mu Huiqing with his other hand, all the while keeping a vigilant eye on the baby's condition.

Mu Hui Qing, who by now was feeling much better, clutched Fang Ren's hand tightly, her voice still somewhat weak, "Ah Ran, we're going to have a child..."

As she spoke, her sweaty face broke into an incredibly happy smile.

A few minutes later, the cries of a baby filled the space within the black barrier. Mu Huiqing was utterly drained, and Fang Ren, holding the colorful little fellow in one hand and carrying a baby in the other, came to Mu Huiqing's side.

He bent down to kiss Mu Huiqing's forehead and said with a tender yet ecstatic smile, "Qing'er, look, our child, it's a girl."

Mu Huiqing gazed at the crying baby in his arms, her exhausted face beaming with happiness that she could not hold back. She gently reached out to stroke the baby's cheek, feeling an indescribable joy in her heart.

At that moment, she felt that all the suffering she had endured was worth it.

"Ah haha ah haha!"

The colorful little fellow, upon seeing Mu Huiqing's hand coming toward it and thinking it was going to be fed again, wasted no time in jumping off Fang Ren's palm and onto Mu Huiqing's, opening its mouth, ready to receive food from her.

Mu Huiqing couldn't help but laugh harder at its antics. She patted the little fellow on the head and whispered softly, "I know you're hungry, but you need to learn to behave."

The colorful little fellow sat on her palm, seemingly understanding. Its bright, sparkling eyes fixed on Mu Huiqing, and after a moment, it nodded happily and transformed into a beam of colorful light that returned to the baby's body.

"What a handful of mischief. Will our daughter be like this too?" Mu Huiqing asked as she took the baby from Fang Ren's hands, her pale face filled with maternal love.

Fang Ren held her and chuckled, "She won't. If she dares to throw a tantrum like that, I'll dare to spank her bottom."

"To spank what, she's just a child," Mu Huiqing replied with a glance.

Fang Ren stroked her head and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this now. How are you feeling and how long will it take for you to recover your True Qi?"

Mu Huiqing also knew this wasn't the time for sentiment. Jiang Ling had been outside, shielding her and Fang Ren from the crowd, and surely Tianjiang and the Central Area would soon send many people to encircle Jiang Ling.

"To fully recover, I guess it won't be possible without half a day, but I can restore up to forty percent rather quickly," Mu Huiqing said.

Fang Ren nodded: "That's good. Jiang Ling must already be in the thick of it with Tianjiang's people outside. I need to find a way to get her out of here safely."

Mu Huiqing transformed some of the True Qi she had just recovered into Silver Battle Armor, her entire being once again taking on a holy visage.

"Tomorrow, you must explain your relationship with her to me," Mu Huiqing said with a pale face as she drew a long spear from the Spirit Form, demanding an explanation from Fang Ren.

"Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think," Fang Ren said with a relieved expression as he took the child from Mu Huiqing's arms. He continued, "Just do as I say later, and all of us will be able to retreat safely."
