Chapter 513: Previous Life Fairy World Extra Story_1
The midwife ran out of the Chen family’s home in a panic, and immediately told her husband when she got back, “This is serious, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family just gave birth to a monster. You won’t believe it the baby had scales on its back as soon as it was born, they were so slippery to the touch. It scared me so much I couldn’t even look.”
“Really?” Wu Si was curious, “So, is the baby not Chen Er’s and was actually conceived with a demon?”
Wu Si’s wife patted her chest, “Who knows? But you should’ve seen the look on Chen Er’s face, he was green.”
Wu Si asked, “And the baby? What did they do with it?”
Demons are rarely seen these days, so how did Chen Er’s family get tangled up with one?
Wu Si stroked his beard, lost in thought.
“What else could they do? Chen Er drowned her in a basin of water himself. I didn’t even finish my egg, I just ran off,” Said Wu Si’s wife, feeling a burst of discomfort recalling the scene.
The sight of the tiny baby struggling in the water was still vivid in her mind, the Chen Family were truly heartless.
A few days later, Jiang Sanlang from Jiang Village found a baby. Apparently, he saved this baby from the mouth of a small demonic beast.
Jiang Sanlang brought the baby home, who was naked and without a belly button cord, and named her Yingbao.
Jiang Sanlang’s wife had been unable to fall pregnant for years, so she was quite overjoyed when her husband brought home a newborn girl to adopt as their own.
Jiang Village was located on the edge of the Demonic Beast Forest, and all the villagers depended on gathering spiritual medicine for a living.
However, the village was often harassed by powerful wild beasts. They were annoyed by the disturbances but couldn’t move away.
But ever since Jiang Sanlang picked up the baby girl, the village had been very peaceful – no large or ferocious beasts have ventured into the village since, much to the villagers’ surprise and delight.
Jiang Sanlang also noticed the little girl’s unusual abilities. For instance, when his wife carried her to the vegetable field and happened to encounter a very ferocious green wolf. His wife was so scared she almost dropped the sickle she was holding.
Just as the green wolf was slowly approaching, the little girl suddenly started to cry, causing the wolf to stop in its tracks and then turn and run.
Xu Chunniang, still shocked, rushed home to tell her husband about it.
Jiang Sanlang, while holding his daughter, took a careful look at her and found that aside from the scales on her back, there was nothing unusual about her.
Therefore, Jiang Sanlang assumed that the child was the offspring of a human and a demon clan.
He told his wife about his conjecture, and she was overjoyed, “That’s great, we won’t have to worry about anyone coming to find this child anymore.”
After Jiang Sanlang noticed the child’s abnormalities, he sprinkled her urine around his fields. Since then, no beasts had ever harmed his crops.
In August of that year, when the annual monster tides were just around the corner, everyone in the village fled. Seeing that the three Jiang brothers had not left, the clan leader came to inquire.
“Big brother, second brother, third brother, even if you want to take advantage of the chaos, you need to stay alive. Leave with us, if we wait any longer it will be too late,” the clan leader kindly advised them.
Jiang Dage turned to his youngest brother, “Sanlang, what do you say?”
Jiang Sanlang looked at the baby girl in his arms and gently said, “Baobao, why don’t you and your mother go first, I’ll follow you later, okay?”
Despite his daughter being only six months old, she seemed to understand what they were saying and could even express herself by crying or laughing.
As expected, Yingbao immediately started crying loudly, her little hands clutching Jiang Sanlang’s lapels tightly.
Jiang Erlang, seeing this, quickly said, “Yingbao, then you stay here with your daddy and your uncle, okay?”
Yingbao immediately stopped crying and started laughing instead, even patting her father’s chest with her little hands.
It seemed she was trying to comfort her father.
The clan leader was stunned and could only say, “Well then, just do whatever you think is best. But please, take the child and hide in the cellar.”
Every monster tide was dangerous, but it also presented opportunities, like picking up low-level wild beasts that the cultivators had killed and discarded.
If they were lucky, they could even find a spiritual beast or two. Once sold in the city, they could earn a lot of silver.
If they could save up twenty thousand gold, equivalent to two hundred spirit stones, they could purchase residency in the city. While it was only for one person, it would still allow their children to live and study in the city, and learn the ways of cultivation.
But in Jiang Village, no one had managed to save up twenty thousand gold in the past fifty years, meaning no one could enter the city to learn the Immortal Laws.
Those who had managed to move to the city in the past never returned, ensuring that those left behind did not benefit.
“We’ll be careful, don’t worry, Clan Leader,” Jiang Sanlang said, “Please take care of my parents, nephews and nieces.”
