Chapter 671: Looking Anxious

At this time, a classical-looking woman came out of the wooden house in the mountains and entered the courtyard to talk with Ren Ruofeng.

The little girl looked curiously at the two people talking in the courtyard. She seemed like she understood them, and did not understand them at the same time.

“Hu-er, go eat by yourself. Mother still has some matters to discuss with this gentleman.” Tian Zhu’s clear and cool voice resounded.

“Yes, mother.” The girl took one last peek at Ren Ruofeng before adorably running into the house.

“She’s very smart. Her intelligence isn’t something a child her age should possess.” Ren Ruofeng sighed.

“Yes, she has an IQ of 251. I called a specialist to test her.” Tian Zhu lightly said.

“No wonder Qi Mei wants to rob her body.” Ren Ruofeng realized.

“The past is too hurtful, stop bringing up old matters. I’ll join the Offensive Guard Alliance, but I don’t want you to offer anything. I only have one condition, you have to find me an absolutely safe place for Hu-er.” Tian Zhu said coldly.

“Well, even if you didn’t say so, I’d still do the same.” Ren Ruofeng’s face was complicated. There was guilt, relief, expectation, and longing.

“Then come have a meal with the child. I can tell that she likes you very much.” Tian Zhu said and turned back to enter the room.

“Yes, yes…” Delight showed on Ren Ruofeng’s face as he followed her in.

The next day, in Vigilante A’s farm villa, Vigilante A was currently training with his eyes shut.

Sir System’s life was very routine. It basically only focused on two things in its daily life: training and farming monsters.

In contrast, Fang Ning’s life was too colorful.

After practicing cooking for a period of time, he finally reached the System’s primary level under Sir System’s evaluation. As a result, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.

These days, he started to accumulate novels and play games extremely joyously.

That was why when he heard Sir System’s new request, he immediately shook his head.

“Huh? Babysit? Me? I don’t have the time…”

“Ren Ruofeng wants to foster his child in the Draconic Realm. It won’t be good to refuse. You’re the only one who’s free, so who will look after her if not you?” The System justified.

“Damn it, since when am I free?” Fang Ning spoke nonsense but he could not refuse. Then, he was suddenly struck with inspiration, “Oh, my wife and her family are staying there for a long time, so just let them deal with it. Also, there’s that Tomcat that has nothing to do every day. It could accompany her as a pet. This arrangement is absolutely foolproof.”

“Wow, Mr. Rich Boss, your ability to shirk responsibility is increasing by the day. I really admire you.” The System said gloomily.

“Hahahaha, it’s good that you know.” Fang Ning gloated, and suddenly asked, “How many benefits did you receive from Ren Ruofeng?”

“Not much, not much. It’s only a little, never enough. After all, he’s also quite poor.” Sir System remained tight-lipped.

Fang Ning was in high spirits. He could not be bothered to ask more and continued to bury his head in books.

In the Draconic Realm.

Tom the Cat was very depressed. Originally, Vigilante A was busy farming monsters every day, so if it was not a major matter, it would not be taken out to be shown off. Thus, it did not have to work.

Therefore, it leisurely cultivated, played, and took its salary without working, and still lived a good life every day.

However, a few days ago, the little gray ant, the future cadre that it was trying to cultivate, was sent to the Bodhisattva Spirit King’s Spiritual Insect Realm for further studies. Ever since, it lost a good opportunity to connect with each other.

Today, another very clever little girl came. That Venerable White Dragon instructed it to take good care of her, and it was now taking her around to familiarise her with the arcane realm’s environment.

‘Great. I can imagine needing to carry her around here and there every day in the future…

‘Fortunately, there’s still the Zhao family as the main force to take care of the child, as well as private teachers and a bunch of nannies. It must be more than painful.

‘Only the people who babysit know the pains of babysitting.’

“Damn it. Back then, I, Tom, was a fierce and ruthless character, but today I’m reduced to being a milk cat. How the hell did this happen?”

“Big Brother Thomson, what’re you sighing about?” The girl on the black tiger’s back asked curiously.

“Uh, I said, Hong Hu, do you know who your dad is? Why didn’t he take you?” Thomson said casually.

“Hm, does everyone need a dad? Fuxi didn’t need one. Legend has it that he was born after his mother measured the footprint of giants. That’s also how I came to be. Who’s your dad?” The girl countered.

“Oh, in that case, you’re really quite miraculous. It’s true that I’ve lived for thousands of years, but today is the first time anyone has asked me who my father was. Let me see, I almost forgot what that old timer looked like…” Tom the cat flicked its black years and tried to recall the past.

It could not help but think of running with its father in the sunset when it was a child. That was it’s lost kittenhood…

‘I didn’t think that there was a time where I was so innocent. Since when did I become such a black-bellied cat?’

This filled its heart with an inexplicable emotion of wanting to return to that innocent era.

‘Right, now that I think about it, when I met that Death in the Upper Realm, it told me that there would be a great disaster in the Upper Realm, and if I wanted to live on, then I would have to change…

‘I wonder if that Death will come back and search for me after I haven’t actively contacted it for such a long time?

‘However, it doesn’t matter now. I’m currently a cat working backstage. I don’t have to be afraid of it. Even one as strong as the Indian Trinity will explode with just one poke from Vigilante A. Death doesn’t stand a chance.’

Tom the cat let its imagination roam for a while before responding, “My father was the first Spiritual Cat… No, the first Spiritual Tiger after the creation of the Upper Realm. It was magnificent and powerful with boundless magical energy and possessed remarkable abilities. All those gods, saints, immortals, and buddhas had to salute when they saw it… Unfortunately, disaster struck the Upper Realm, and my father fell and became one of the numerous fallen mighty beings. I was the only one to descend the realm, and dragged out an ignoble existence. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes…”

“Hey, mother said that lying is bad.” The girl widened her eyes shook her head.

“Uh, then I remembered wrongly. Anyway, my father is long gone. In the future, you’ll know that the longer you live, the more you’ll learn to accept a person’s life.” Tom the cat said, embarrassed.

It used to have a group of subordinates crowding before it, but know it was it became a lonely widowed cat who had no power or prestige. The point it was reduced to made people sigh.

“Is that so? Can’t we live forever with our relatives?” A trace of worry appeared in the girl’s eyes.

“That’s tough, tough, tough. Even the Buddha did not have any relatives by his side. On the contrary, they were basically all alone.” Tom the cat shook its head.

It did not find this question funny, but instead felt slightly mournful.

This was just one type of destiny. The higher you climbed, the further you walked, the fewer people there would be around you.

Path saints could live for hundreds of millions of years and survive thousands of calamities, how would his relatives be able to keep up?

Even if that person was a compassionate saint and had remarkable abilities, he could only bring along one relative with him, and that relative might not be able to avoid a single calamity.

After all, the more powerful these beings were, the deeper the karma with the Upper Realm, and the harder it would become to get away.

Those that came down first were mostly weak cannon fodder that were merely a powerful being’s spiritual part or body double.

Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages. It was natural that those that descended later had more advantages and could retain more strength.

Then, it felt that the girl on its back suddenly fall silent.

“Is there really no way?” The girl asked softly after a while.

“You’re too young to be thinking about this question. We can talk about it next time.” Tom the cat shook its head.

“From the words of a sage, he who does not have a long-term plan is not up to short term jobs, and he who does not have the whole picture in mind cannot design a single part of a machine. That’s why I need to think about it now…” The girl opened her eyes wide.

“Uh, you, you look a little anxious… At your age, you should think about eating, drinking, and playing instead.” Tom the cat was extremely shocked.

It had a rough idea on the girl’s age, which was less than six months old. Body size had little to do with age, and many babies of other clans were born of normal size.

However, the age of a soul could be clearly distinguished.
