Traveling Together

She recalled some unpleasant things.

"Just wait! You'll pay the price."

Bibi Dong's gaze turned icy as she spoke bitterly in her heart.

Then she shook her head fiercely, trying to throw all the thoughts from her mind. She rubbed her brow as well, but found that it still did not help.

She reached out and lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looking outside with her pale violet eyes to distract herself.

It was already afternoon, and evening was approaching.

The group had also left the sparsely populated region surrounded by mountains and was preparing to enter the towns and cities where humans gathered.

However, after watching for a while, Bibi Dong lost interest.

She lowered the curtain and turned her gaze toward Ye Qifeng, who was still sleeping soundly beside her.

Looking at the delicate little fellow before her,

with his plump pink cheeks, she suddenly found him exceptionally adorable.

She could not resist reaching out again.

The next moment, a pair of jade-like hands stretched out and gently pinched the little fellow's round, chubby cheeks.

Bibi Dong suddenly froze.

Because at that moment, she discovered something strange.

When she touched the little fellow's face, her mood unexpectedly calmed in an instant. Her negative emotions dispersed, the headaches that had plagued her for days eased considerably, and her mind became clear.

It was an extremely comfortable feeling. Not only did it calm her mind, it also helped her control her killing intent.

Even the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls within her seemed to stir slightly.

After pinching his cheeks several times to test it, she was certain that it was because of this infant.

Bibi Dong looked intently at the little fellow before her.

The infant seemed to contain some mysterious and peculiar aura that deeply attracted her.

It even gave her the urge to draw closer.

She wanted to pick him up.

However, when Bibi Dong saw the silk scarf wrapped around the infant, embroidered with Ju Hua in golden thread, several black lines appeared on her forehead. She disliked it immensely.

Then, with a swing of her hand blade through the air, the silk scarf split apart.

With another wave of her jade-like hand, the silk scarf floated into the air, and with one more palm strike, it was reduced entirely to powder.

Afterward, Bibi Dong took out a purple cloth specially meant for wrapping infants from her Soul Tool.

She had originally prepared it for that annoying child, but... she had never had a chance to use it. Now, it finally came in handy.

She carefully rewrapped the infant, but since she had never taken care of a child before, she was not very skilled, and her movements were a little too rough.

Ye Qifeng had already been about to wake when the original wrapping suddenly disappeared and left him feeling cold. With Bibi Dong fussing over him like this, it was impossible for him not to wake up.

He opened his sleepy eyes and immediately saw a pair of slender jade-like hands moving all over his tiny body.

"Yiya yiya ya—" (What are you doing?)

Ye Qifeng asked.

"Ah~! He's awake! What do I do? What do I do?"

Bibi Dong became even more flustered. She was a little panicked, afraid that the little fellow would cry.

Fortunately, Ye Qifeng quickly understood that she was swaddling him, so he quietly watched and let her do as she pleased.

When Bibi Dong saw that the infant neither cried nor fussed and was so well-behaved, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With her unremitting efforts, she finally finished wrapping him.

Bibi Dong immediately felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

"Haha—!"

Watching Bibi Dong's flustered yet adorable appearance, Ye Qifeng found it strangely delightful and could not help letting out an infant's distinctive laughter.

Hearing the infant's laughter, Bibi Dong instantly felt as though she had been healed.

Her mood became exceptionally pleasant, and she unconsciously revealed a sweet smile as well.

In Ye Qifeng's eyes, it was a breathtakingly beautiful sight that made his heart race.

This scene only further strengthened Ye Qifeng's resolve to protect her and keep her from meeting such a tragic end.

Bibi Dong reached out and held the little fellow in her arms.

"Little fellow, it seems your origins are far from simple."

Bibi Dong scratched infant Ye Qifeng's nose and teased him.

"Don't keep touching me..."

Ye Qifeng did not like Bibi Dong pinching and scratching his face. He reached out to push away her mischievous hand.

Unfortunately, the more he resisted, the more happily Bibi Dong pinched him.

"Fine. You're beautiful, so you get the final say. Do whatever you want..."

Helpless though he was, he had no way to resist. After all, he was only a tiny infant now.

He simply shut his mouth and quieted down.

He had quieted down, but his little stomach betrayed him and began to growl.

"Are you hungry? That makes sense. After falling into the hands of an Evil Soul Master, you must not have eaten for a long time. We need to find some food for the little fellow."

Bibi Dong heard the sound coming from the little fellow's stomach.

"Elder Ju, where is the group now?"

Bibi Dong asked Yue Guan, who was driving the carriage.

"Holy Maiden, there is a city ten li ahead called Wuye City."

"It has a Martial Soul Hall Branch stationed there. We can rest in the city tonight."

Yue Guan replied.

"Travel at full speed. Reach Wuye City as soon as possible, then let the team rest there."

Bibi Dong said.

"Understood."

Yue Guan did not know why Bibi Dong wanted to hasten their journey, but he did not ask.

Afterward, under Yue Guan's orders, the group accelerated.

A few minutes later, the Spirit Hall group arrived at Wuye City.

The bishop stationed at the Wuye City Martial Soul Hall Branch had already been waiting at the city gate.

The group entered the city without inspection and, under the bishop's guidance, took up residence at an inn exclusively belonging to Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong emerged from the carriage with infant Ye Qifeng in her arms.

Yue Guan was about to reach out and take the infant, but Bibi Dong did not indulge him.

"Elder Ju, please find some fresh beast milk. This little fellow is hungry."

Bibi Dong said blandly to Yue Guan.

"Alright."

Yue Guan was somewhat surprised, but he still agreed.

He had already noticed that the cloth wrapped around the infant had been changed. The Holy Maiden must have disliked his silk scarf. Although he felt a little aggrieved, it did not matter.

There was naturally no need for Yue Guan, an elder, to personally handle something like finding fresh beast milk. He only needed to instruct the bishop stationed at the local branch to do it.

Very soon, a few minutes passed.

The stationed bishop was highly efficient. A large bowl of fresh beast milk was delivered into Yue Guan's hands.

Yue Guan then personally brought it to the carriage and handed it to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong held the bowl, intending to feed him herself.

Although Ye Qifeng had an infant's body, he still possessed an adult's mind. Being fed milk was truly embarrassing for him.

Moreover, he was starving. He immediately grabbed the bowl himself and gulped it down.

Bibi Dong watched the little fellow drink the milk on his own. He was quite clever, neither crying nor making a fuss, and so well-behaved that she liked him immensely.

Before long, Ye Qifeng drank every last drop from the large bowl of beast milk.

After finishing, he did not forget to let out a satisfied burp.

Full and content, Ye Qifeng suddenly felt his eyelids grow heavy.

He was about to fall asleep again.

There was no helping it. Infants always needed plenty of sleep.

He soon entered dreamland.

He fell asleep so quickly that even Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.

Bibi Dong had no intention of resting in the room prepared by the inn.

The carriage was spacious enough, with beds, bedding, and everything else she needed to rest.

Whenever she went out, she usually spent her time inside the carriage.

She was used to it.

After the little fellow fell asleep, Bibi Dong, with nothing else to do, entered meditation to cultivate.

She sat cross-legged on the couch.

Because she had confirmed that Ye Qifeng possessed some mysterious aura that could calm her mind, help her control her killing intent, and accelerate her Soul Power cultivation,

Bibi Dong held him in her arms, trying to maintain a comfortable position.

Sure enough.

After entering a meditative state, Bibi Dong's thoughts became incomparably clear, and the speed at which her Soul Power grew increased severalfold.
