Not long after Chi Xue and the others spread the news, they got a response: a cultivator brought Ling Tian a baby girl, one with a Heavenly Absolute Body.
That was right—the baby was a girl, and she had a Heavenly Absolute Body, a physique no weaker than the God Devouring Body. It was an unexpected delight for Ling Tian. He had only wanted to find Ling Chou a playmate around his own age, but a playmate with such excellent aptitude was naturally even better.
Ling Tian was very pleased with the baby girl. After generously rewarding the cultivator who had brought her, he "entrusted" her to Ling Chou. When Ling Chou saw the baby, he was clearly astonished—and delighted, too, because at last he had found a playmate close to his own age. The "generous reward" Ling Tian gave the cultivators was the essence of some leftover Phoenix Soul Fruits. Though it was only the essence of scraps, and not much of it, it was still a tremendous boon to them—something countless Godly Being cultivators could only dream of.
It made sense. There was no one around Ling Tian who could play with Ling Chou. Even Little Devourer wasn't willing to keep a little child company. So although Ling Chou could spend all day roaming over mountains and through valleys, playing with the little beasts in the woods, he had no playmate to share those adventures with. Now that Ling Tian had found him one, he was overjoyed and even more grateful to Ling Tian.
And so the baby girl became Ling Chou's playmate, giving the cultivator who roamed the mountains all day one more companion. Of course, Ling Chou was the one who took her around to play. He was a few years older than her, after all,
