The Deception Rabbit Returns (33)

Night fell, under the bright moonlight.

As Chen Yun and Li Jingshu fell asleep one after the other, Li Boyang continued to busy himself in his own courtyard.

He held a needle and thread, his hands moving swiftly.

A small baby outfit quickly took shape in his hands.

Like the bright moonlight, the silver-white baby clothes were engraved with inexplicable patterns, faintly forming a complex Talisman Incantation.

Suddenly, Li Boyang, who was sewing baby clothes, stopped what he was doing.

Then he slowly turned his head to look outside.

A huge shadow appeared silently in the moonlight.

When did you get back?

With a hint of feigned surprise, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow, as if asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"Hehe, I've only just gotten back..."

Two enormous ears formed a "cradle" on its head.

Deception Rabbit the mixed-race child on his head, E'tu left Li Boyang's house with an embarrassed expression.

Because the Deception Rabbit is now extremely tall.

So when he bent down and walked through the door, there was even a hint of caution in his movements.

"It seems you've gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble, which is why you had to come back, right?"

Li Boyang twitched his nose slightly and smelled a faint scent of blood on the Deception Rabbit.

Even after so much time had passed, and even though Deception Rabbit had already cleaned his body, the stench of blood still lingered.

It is evident that, even if Deception Rabbit has not been constantly immersed in a sea of blood over the years, it has been almost the same.

"When you're out and about, unexpected things can always happen."

She gave another awkward laugh, her Deception Rabbit lacking any real conviction as she said it.

After all, if things had gone according to plan, he should have returned years ago, instead of waiting until today.

"But don't worry, I definitely didn't bring any tails back."

"I finished taking care of everything before I came back, which is why I was a little late."

Li Boyang raised an eyebrow noncommittally, then turned his gaze to the baby on the Deception Rabbit's head.

"There seem to be more and more freaks, half-human, half-god demigods, escaping to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range lately."

"But to maintain his divine status in such a chaotic external environment, instead of degenerating into Innate Divine Being, this child's father is quite remarkable."

The external world is currently in a state of disorder, with its Yuan Qi in turmoil.

Even Heavenly Deity cannot maintain their original status.

In this situation, they are still able to maintain their divine status, and regardless of whether they are special or not, their strength is absolutely unparalleled.

"Hehe, as long as you know what I mean."

With a hint of ingratiation, Deception Rabbit's body quickly shrank, and then she handed the child to Li Boyang.

Seemingly sensing something, the child, who had been resting, opened his eyes again, this time with all three eyes wide open.

Especially the eye between his eyebrows, which seemed to carry a strange, petrifying Curse.

Sizzle sizzle...

In an instant, Body-Protecting Sword Qi appeared on Li Boyang's body.

Compared to the initial version of [Body-Protecting Sword Qi].

Li Boyang's current [Body-Protecting Sword Qi] is entirely dark yellow, possessing boundless mystery.

Only when Li Boyang is conscious will this [Body-Protecting Sword Qi] revert to its Formless Sword Qi state.

Li Boyang did not insist on anything.

Because he knew this was a natural phenomenon resulting from his cultivation of the Black and Yellow Qi.

If it's simply about attacking, then the Formless Sword Qi version of [Body-Protecting Sword Qi] naturally has a greater advantage.

However, if we're only talking about defense, the dark yellow [Body-Protecting Sword Qi] is clearly superior.

Concealing cause and effect, strengthening defense, ever-changing, endlessly regenerating...

With these various characteristics, the counterattack effect inherent in [Body-Protecting Sword Qi] becomes visible, making it a negligible side effect.

"This..."

Body-Protecting Sword Qi appeared around Li Boyang's body.

Deception Rabbit, E'tu quickly tried to take the baby back from her arms.

"It's okay, she didn't mean it."

Li Boyang reached out to stop Deception Rabbit's actions, and at the same time, he activated the counterattack of [Body-Protecting Sword Qi].

"This baby is born with the ability to petrify; it will activate once it is stimulated."

"She must have sensed my danger just now, so she instinctively awakened this Divine Ability."

Li Boyang seemed somewhat surprised when he said this.

In the current chaotic Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a mere petrification Curse is hardly a noteworthy ability.

What truly surprised Li Boyang was that the infant was actually able to sense his own strength.

"Uh, is this doll that dangerous?"

The thought of carrying such a dangerous creature all the way made Deception Rabbit shudder.

Fortunately, Li Boyang was prepared for this. He took the baby from Deception Rabbit's hands and draped the baby clothes he had previously sewn over the baby's head.

In an instant, the baby's lower body transformed from a snake's tail into two legs.

At the same time, her newly grown snake hair turned into curly hair, and she no longer looked dangerous at all.

Even the third eye between the eyebrows was suppressed by this garment, temporarily losing its ability to petrify and Curse others.

"These clothes?"

It was only at this moment that Deception Rabbit realized what was happening.

The baby clothes in Li Boyang's hand were clearly prepared specifically for this baby girl; he had known of her arrival all along.

"This is a replica of the Night-Wandering Woman's Feather Robe, which can help outcasts like her disguise themselves as humans."

"A lot has happened here since you left the Hundred Lands Mountain Range. If you're interested, we can talk about it slowly."

Gently holding the baby in his arms, Li Boyang said this without even looking up.

"So you've already decided to save her?"

They didn't rush to ask about what had happened over the years.

Deception Rabbit was somewhat surprised that Li Boyang accepted the existence of the baby so easily.

Before this, he had made many preparations in advance, all in an attempt to persuade Li Boyang.

"Just before today, I decided to expand the Enlightenment School specifically to accommodate these gifted children."

"Compared to the children who are about to be born, she is special, but not the most special."

Li Boyang made this prediction without changing his expression at all.

"It seems that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range have truly undergone tremendous changes in the years I was away."

Recalling the roads of Xirang, the Bronze Beast, and the docks and ships that traversed most of the river systems that he had seen along the way.

Deception Rabbit suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed the most important few years of development for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
