Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 698 - 697: So He Is Also Wu Chenzi
Chapter 698: Chapter 697: So He Is Also Wu Chenzi
Having figured out the crucial point, the Noble Consort skillfully snatched the Spiritual Power that Mianmian had just attracted to herself.
This time, the Demon Emperor sensed that something was amiss.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the Noble Consort, feeling that she shouldn’t be stealing his Spiritual Qi, so he turned his gaze to Mianmian.
Could it be that the Spiritual Power attracted by Su Mianmian had diminished?
With this thought, the Demon Emperor closed his eyes again until he received news of a rebellion within the Demon Clan in a certain location.
The Demon Emperor rose and left, and the imperial chamber returned to quietness.
Days went by filled with cultivation and play, and Mianmian’s fourth birthday quietly passed.
She didn’t even know her own birthday and hadn’t remembered it yet. But Su Senqi and Jiang Yao inside the Soul Lamp did, embracing Mianmian across the lamp.
Mianmian only felt the Spiritual Power in her body increase, and her Golden Core became even more rounded and lively.
Then, one day, it cracked open like an egg.
This gave Mianmian quite a scare, and she asked the Noble Consort what was going on.
The Noble Consort smiled, "It’s nothing to worry about, this is a sign of the Golden Core breaking and the Nascent Soul forming."
She explained to Mianmian about the cultivation process of the Human Race, including Qi cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and so on.
Knowing that the splitting of the Golden Core was a good thing, Mianmian stopped worrying. At the same time, she became anxious again and asked the Noble Consort, "Mianmian is becoming more powerful again, but Mianmian’s mommy and daddy are still not revived inside the Soul Lamp, and it’s unknown how long it’ll take for their bodies to be chosen."
When she asked, the Noble Consort began to feel anxious, as did the other consorts.
They took for granted that Su Mianmian’s parents wouldn’t be revived, yet they didn’t dare to say it.
Seeing everyone silent, Mianmian blinked and asked, "Do you all also think it’s hard to find a body?"
The Noble Consort was about to reveal some truth when she saw the Demon Emperor.
She quickly changed her words, "Yes, Mianmian. It is very difficult to find such a body. If the soul doesn’t match the new body, the soul will dissipate. It’s better to be careful, there’s no harm in that."
With the Noble Consort saying so, Mianmian had no choice but to accept, "Alright then, Mianmian will wait some more."
And so, she waited for a long time.
Su Ji found it strange too and came to discuss with Mianmian, "I’ve been constantly asking that pig Zhu Daren when he will find a body for our mommy and daddy, and he always says he hasn’t found the right one yet."
Mianmian was also distressed, "The Noble Consort said it takes time to find a body, otherwise mommy and daddy won’t be comfortable using it. Mianmian feels something is off."
Su Ji asked, "First tell me where you think it’s off."
Mianmian whispered her thoughts.
"Ermao from our village really wants to go play in the town. Then, his mommy and daddy always tell him ’next time, next time.’ Ermao gets very unhappy and always complains to us about how much he really wants to go play in the town."
"Mianmian told mommy and daddy about it, and they said adults’ ’next time’ usually means it’s not going to happen. If his own parents don’t have money to go to town, how could they afford to take him there to play?"
At this point, Mianmian’s eyes reddened slightly, and her nose felt a bit sore.
She didn’t want to be deceived, but it seemed that she really had been lied to by the Demon Emperor.
Su Ji hadn’t expected to hear such an answer from Mianmian’s mouth.
Adults’ ’next time’ actually means not going at all... His own parents had also promised to take him to the nearby town one day to let him play with the children of the Human Race.
But there was never a ’next time.’
Until they died, there was never a ’next time.’
Was Grandfather Emperor deceived as well?
Su Ji also became sad, the two little ones facing each other, their faces mournful, unsure of what to do.
At that moment, a servant suddenly announced that the Imperial Noble Consort had arrived.
When the Imperial Noble Consort entered the room and saw the two unhappy children both on the verge of tears, she frowned and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Su Ji wanted Mianmian to keep quiet, but Mianmian had already thrown herself into the Imperial Noble Consort’s arms, tearfully voicing her suspicions in a whiny tone, not treating the Imperial Noble Consort as an outsider at all.
But Su Ji knew, everything in the Demon Realm belonged to Grandfather Emperor, and so did the Imperial Noble Consort, just like how Zhu Daren only listened to Grandfather Emperor!
Su Ji was anxious, feeling that Mianmian was about to be deceived again.
As expected, the Imperial Noble Consort said, "Good child, no more crying, sister knows you are upset, but there is nothing that can be done."
Having said this, the Imperial Noble Consort stared at Su Ji, making his scalp tingle.
After a while, Mianmian stopped crying.
Only then did the Imperial Noble Consort hold Mianmian in her lap and, looking squarely at Su Ji, she asked, "Little Prince, do you want to resurrect your parents, or do you want your Grandfather Emperor?"
Su Ji didn’t understand what she meant and stood there, stunned.
The Imperial Noble Consort smiled and repeated the question, "If you want your Grandfather Emperor, your parents will not be resurrected. If you want your parents, then you cannot have your Grandfather Emperor."
Su Ji still didn’t understand.
Was choosing between Grandfather Emperor and his parents a conflict?
The Imperial Noble Consort, seeing Su Ji’s dumbfounded expression, became a little annoyed.
Honestly, after hearing Mianmian’s enlightening words, the Imperial Noble Consort not only lost respect for the Demon Emperor but had little regard for Su Ji, the young boy, either.
Indecisive and hesitant, where was he half as adorable as Mianmian?
Mianmian wanted her parents, meaning she truly wanted them. Whatever it took was fine, as long as her parents could be resurrected. Otherwise, why would a four-year-old come to a strange place, not recognizing anyone, and yet act so quietly and obediently without causing trouble?
What child really enjoys cultivating?
And what child is willing to deceive and engage in violence at such a young age?
When the Imperial Noble Consort heard Mianmian say she knew Wu Chenzi was evil, so she cultivated like playing a role-playing game to fool Wu Chenzi, the Imperial Noble Consort didn’t know how much her heart ached.
Those who had been mothers and those who nearly became mothers of the Demon Clan couldn’t bear to see children separated from their parents.
"Su Ji, why don’t you answer?" After Mianmian had cried enough and wiped away her tears with the Imperial Noble Consort’s soft handkerchief, she spoke in a raspy childlike voice, "Anyway, Mianmian wants her parents, not your Grandfather Emperor. Your Grandfather Emperor doesn’t want our daddy and mommy to resurrect at all, so he is also a Wu Chenzi."
Her words struck Su Ji’s brain like lightning.
He was still struggling with the fact that Grandfather Emperor was kind to him, and now he suddenly saw things clearly.
Both Wu Chenzi and Grandfather Emperor had separated him from his parents, the only difference being that Grandfather Emperor hadn’t locked him up. But the end result was the same, he still couldn’t reunite with his parents.
If Grandfather Emperor was also a Wu Chenzi, then what did he need Grandfather Emperor for? Just because Grandfather Emperor was his daddy’s daddy? But Daddy didn’t want Grandfather Emperor either, when Su Ji had asked why they lived in the mountains and Daddy even said they were demons and couldn’t be with the Human Race.
Daddy’s clear answer was: "The Demon Clan cannot accommodate Daddy, so Daddy doesn’t want to stay there anymore."
Daddy didn’t want Grandfather Emperor in the first place, so what was he hesitating for?
"So... If I don’t want Grandfather Emperor, do you have a way, Imperial Noble Consort?"
The Imperial Noble Consort looked at Su Ji’s small face and snorted coldly.
Of course, she had a way!
