Chapter 317 Whose Child



After leaving Lightspeed No. 3 with the old official, Li Xiu just returned to Yard No. 7 and saw Wan Chaochun sitting in the yard of Yard No. 7, feeding the child in his arms with a bottle.

"Sister Chun, whose child is this?" Li Xiu walked over and asked.

"Yours." Wan Chaochun said with a smile.

"Stop joking. I don't have such a young child in my family." Li Xiu said and glanced at Wan Chaochun's child.

The child was plump, fair, tender and with a chubby face. He was looking at Li Xiu with his big, twinkling eyes while sucking milk.

Li Xiu immediately felt that the child looked familiar, as if he was the one that the Emerald Demon King spewed out of his mouth that day.

As expected, Wan Chaochun pushed the child into his arms and said, "That day you entered the Emerald Gate just as she came out. If she's not yours, then whose is she?"

As he spoke, Wan Chaochun took two steps back, looked at Li Xiu and the baby in his arms for a while and said, "Look at her nose, eyes, and mouth. She looks like you in every way. If you say she's not your child, I don't believe it anyway."

"Especially her expression, which looks like she was born with a harmless smile. If it's not yours, whose else could it be? Tell me the truth, which girl did you bully to give birth to a child like this?" Wan Chaochun said with a smile.

"Do they look alike?" Li Xiu lifted her up in front of him, and the four of them stared at each other for a long time. Then he looked at Wan Chaochun and said with a smile, "Sister Chun, I think you are mistaken. They look alike a lot, it's just a coincidence."

"Look, look, and you still say it's not yours." Wan Chaochun pointed at Li Xiu and the baby and said.

Li Xiu turned his head and saw that the child was smiling at Wan Chaochun just like he had just done. That smile seemed to have the power to warm people's hearts, and people could not help but be infected by that smile, and even if they were angry, they could not get angry.

At this time, Ah Fei happened to pass by. Wan Chaochun pointed at the child and Li Xiu and asked Ah Fei: "Little Fei, do you think they look exactly the same?"

"They were carved from the same mold." The bandit answered with certainty.

She was most impressed by the smile that Li Xiu often had on his face. When Li Xiu first went to the Haitian Trial Field, she noticed him at first sight because of his smile.

"Do you think that girl is his child?" Wan Chaochun asked again.

"It must be." The bandit answered affirmatively again.

"Are they really that similar?" Li Xiu looked left and right, but didn't think the child looked like himself in any way.

"Look for yourself." Wan Chaochun took a mirror and placed it in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu looked at the mirror and found that the child was also looking at the mirror. The two people in the mirror, one big and one small, seemed to look a bit alike.

Li Xiu looked in the mirror, then at the child. The child's movements were almost synchronized with his.

Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaochun and Ah Fei and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, they just look alike."

But the child actually looked at Wan Chaochun, smiling and babbling something, his expression and actions were perfectly synchronized.

The expressions Wan Chaochun and A Fei looked at Li Xiu were as if they were looking at a liar and scumbag. Obviously, they did not believe that the child had nothing to do with Li Xiu.

"Anyway, I've brought the child to you, you can handle it yourself." Wan Chaochun said and turned away, too lazy to listen to Li Xiu's explanation.

"Sister Chun, was there anything else on the child when he came out?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"No." Wan Chaochun said and walked out of Yard No. 7.

Li Xiu looked at the child carefully, but did not find anything different about him. He was no different from an ordinary human child.

"How did this guy end up in the Emerald Demon King's body? Why did Jiang Linglan suddenly kill the Emerald Demon King after hearing that the Emerald Demon King had sent her out of the Emerald Gate?" Li Xiu couldn't figure out the reason, and he didn't see anything special about this child, so he said to Ah Fei, "Ah Fei, find someone to take care of her first."

"Parents should still raise their children themselves." Ah Fei said and left.

"This is really not my child." Li Xiu wanted to explain depressedly, but Ah Fei had already walked back to his room and closed the door.

Li Xiu had no choice but to take the child back to his room. Fortunately, the child did not cry or make a fuss and looked very well-behaved.

Li Xiu put her on the bed, and she sat there obediently holding the bottle. When Li Xiu looked at her, she smiled at him.

"Don't make that expression to me anymore. I'm telling you, we have nothing to do with each other. The most I can do is help you find a good family to support you, but I can't keep you here. After all, I'm a single aristocrat. How can I find a wife in the future if I take you with me?" Li Xiu said, pointing at the child.

The child just smiled at him, and it was unclear whether he understood or not.

"Why am I talking to a little kid about this?" Seeing that she didn't cry or make a fuss, Li Xiu ignored her for the time being and sat beside her and took out the two pieces of jade that Jiang Linglan had given him.

Putting the raw stone aside, Li Xiu picked up the ice jadeite and carefully looked at the magic words on it.

Li Xiu had carefully looked at the piece of spring ribbon given to the president before. The magic text on it was a poem that talked about the love between a man and a woman.

Li Xiu had not had time to read the magic runes on this piece after he came back. The reason he read the magic runes on that piece first was because he had to return it to the president.

"This piece of icy jade shouldn't have a love poem on it, right?" Li Xiu read the magic words on it word by word.

As he watched, a strange look appeared on Li Xiu's face.

It turned out that this was not a love poem, but a list of thirteen people in total, including Wu Xinglie and Zhang Ping.

Li Xiu was somewhat suspicious that the thirteen people on the list were most likely from the City of Love.

Because when Jiang Linglan asked him about the people in the City of Love, he only asked thirteen people in total. This couldn't be just a coincidence.

“If I have the chance to go to the City of Love again, I can bring the jade in and ask Father Wu and the others what this list means. This should not be an ordinary jade. I wonder if I can bring it into the Gate of Trials.” Li Xiu put away the ice jade and placed the jadeite rough stone on the table.

Taking out the food knife, Li Xiu planned to peel open the jadeite raw stone to see what kind of jade was inside.

A golden glow appeared on the blade of the Food Knife, and Li Xiu peeled off a layer of the jadeite stone as if he was peeling a winter melon.

It's just a light layer, but you can immediately see the color inside, and it's a very rich red.

"Red jadeite!" Li Xiu saw that the red color inside was not only rich, but also very transparent, just like dyed glass.

Without any hesitation, he scraped away all the outer stone skin along the red color, and then cleared away the foggy layer connected to the stone skin, revealing a piece of glass-type jadeite that was as red as blood.

Looking at the crystal clear blood jade in front of him, Li Xiu's hunger became stronger. He cut his finger and let a drop of blood drip onto the blood jade. After a while, a bloody glow rose from the blood jade. The blood jade the size of a human head also deformed as if it melted, and soon turned into red liquid and flowed into the wound on his finger.

Soon, a blood-red jade ring appeared on Li Xiu's thumb, and at the same time strange information flooded into his brain.

Xue Linglong: Can evolve into a demon spirit.

Level: Soul Forging.

Quality: Brilliant.

Super cap: 100%.

Light Veins: fifty-eight.

Soul Forging Form: The third form.

Innate skills: Blood Evil, Seven Weapons, Exquisite Heart, Lone Star, Treasure Seed.

"The third form of cast soul!" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

The gemstone spirits on Earth should all be at the lowest level when they are born. However, this blood jadeite was actually a third-level cast spirit when it was born, which is obviously different from the spirit gems on Earth.

As soon as Li Xiu thought about it, Xue Linglong flew out from his finger and transformed into a human demon spirit in front of him.

It’s just that this human demon is a bit short, only about one meter tall, and is covered in blood crystal-like armor. He looks like a child wearing heavy armor, a bit like a Q version of an armored warrior.

However, the shape of the armor made Xue Linglong look a little evil, especially those eyes shining with blood. The blood-colored pupils were actually in the shape of a seven-petal flower.

The room was not suitable for experimental skills, so Li Xiu had to take Xue Linglong back and planned to test his skills again in the trial place later.

The child next to him had been sitting quietly in the bed, holding the bottle and looking at Li Xiu, not crying or making a fuss, and was too well-behaved to act like a normal baby.

Li Xiu thought about it, picked up the baby, and prepared to find Sha Chu to ask her to find someone to raise the baby until he figured out the baby's origins.

"Chief, although the child is still young, if she does not follow her parents, she will probably have psychological trauma since childhood. You should take care of her yourself and cultivate your relationship." Sha Chu said this after listening to Li Xiu's words.

"She's really not my child." Li Xiu said helplessly.

"I understand." Shachu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"What do you know? Stop talking nonsense and find me someone who can take care of her." Li Xiu was too lazy to explain any more.

Li Xiu said this as he handed the child to Sha Chu, but the child held on to Li Xiu and refused to let go. His two little hands let go of the bottle and held on to his clothes tightly.

Although this child is small, her fingers are quite strong and it is difficult for the two men to force her fingers apart.

Sha Chu took some toys and food and tried to coax her over, but she ignored him and just held on to Li Xiu tightly and climbed into his arms.

"Chief, you have seen the deep love between father and daughter. Why don't you raise her yourself? Or you can ask her mother to come over and let her take care of her." Sha Chu said with a smile.

"Who knows who her mother is?" Li Xiu said with a depressed look on his face while hugging her.

There was no other choice, Li Xiu could only carry her back and let Sha Chu take her away after she fell asleep.

"Brother Xiu, you even have a child?" When Li Ming'er saw Li Xiu holding the child, her little face was full of surprise.

"It's not my child." Li Xiu explained weakly.

Li Ming'er sighed and said, "Brother Xiu, don't worry. I will love your child as if she were my own if I don't introduce you to him."

"What is going on? She is really not my child." Li Xiu had no choice but to tell the child's origins.

He was still relatively confident in Li Ming'er. Li Ming'er was a demon spirit and had nowhere else to go, so she could only follow him.

"Emerald Castle, I seem to have heard of this place somewhere." Li Ming'er said thoughtfully after listening.

"Do you know that place?" Li Xiu was overjoyed.

"Let me think about it." Li Ming'er pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I remember now, the Emerald Castle you mentioned should be called the Emerald Royal Court, right?"

"It seems to be this name." Li Xiu nodded quickly: "What place is it?"

Li Ming'er said: "I remember hearing the ancient corpse talking about the Jade Palace once. He seemed to want to go to the Jade Palace, but he couldn't find the way to it."

"Can't find the way?" Li Xiu thought this was a little strange. They, humans, were not familiar with the Demon Kingdom. Since the ancient corpse knew there was such a place as the Emerald Royal Court, how could it not find the way?

Li Ming'er continued, "Yes, I just can't find the way. I remember the ancient corpse said that there is a time tunnel in the Jade Imperial Court, through which you can go to the past and the future. If you can find the time tunnel, you can go back to the past and change your previous regrets. You can even go to the future and watch the future scenes to achieve the purpose of predicting the future and changing the future."

Li Xiu estimated that the emerald tunnel should be the time tunnel mentioned by the ancient corpse.

However, it is a bit nonsense to say that the time tunnel can go back to the past to make up for regrets. The place where the happy hometown stands is just like a fantasy. It is impossible to change the past, and it is probably even more impossible to change the future. The rumors must be exaggerated.

Li Ming'er continued, "But the ancient corpse wants to go to the Time Tunnel not to change the past or the future, but to go to the Gate of the World."

"Where is the Gate of the World?" Li Xiu took two train trips back and forth but didn't see any gate.

Li Ming'er smiled and said, "That was the ancient corpse dreaming. He said that there is a gate to the world at the end of the time tunnel. Through the gate, one can transcend the constraints of the world, achieve the ultimate evolution, and become an invincible existence. It's a pity that the Jade Imperial Court and the Time Tunnel are just a legend. Even the three immortal corpses can't find them."

At this point, Li Ming'er looked at the little girl in Li Xiu's arms with a strange expression and said, "According to what you said, the place you went to was very similar to the legendary Emerald Palace. If it was really the Emerald Palace, how could a human woman live there, and a human child come out of it? This is too strange."

"It's indeed a bit strange." Li Xiu frowned and thought.

Li Ming'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Xiu, do you think there is a possibility that the woman and the little girl both came out of the time tunnel?"

Before Li Xiu could catch up with her thoughts, Li Ming'er continued excitedly: "Brother Xiu, this little girl looks so much like you, could she really be your child? But she is not your child now, but your child in the future after you get married and have children. She came here through the time tunnel."

"It's absolutely impossible. There is no such thing as past and future. Time and space should be irreversible. The so-called time tunnel is at most an illusion with predictive properties." Li Xiu directly denied Li Ming'er's speculation.

Li Ming'er was very excited. She looked at the little girl and continued, "What if? How else would you explain the origin of this child? She looks so much like you. If you say she's not your child, I'm afraid no one would believe it."

"If she is your future child, who will be her mother?" Li Ming'er came closer to look at the little girl carefully, and put his face side by side with the little girl: "Brother Xiu, do you think she looks like me? I think the eyes are quite similar."

Li Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but after looking at them carefully for a while, he found that the eye shapes were indeed somewhat similar.

"Is it similar?" Li Ming'er asked again.

"Why don't you give birth to one for comparison?" Li Xiu said.

Li Ming'er's cheeks blushed slightly: "How can that be possible? If I want to get married, I must return to Changsheng Island first, otherwise Changsheng Baokuai will not agree."

Speaking of the Changsheng Treasure Chopsticks, Li Zheng had something to ask Li Ming'er: "Ming'er, I remember you said that the Changsheng Treasure Chopsticks were a treasure that accompanied Changsheng Island, and the Three Changsheng Corpses were also ancient creatures nurtured by Changsheng Island, so why are they not the owners of Changsheng Island, and why didn't the Changsheng Treasure Chopsticks recognize them as their masters?"

Li Ming'er smiled when he heard this and said, "It's true that the Three Corpses of Immortality are natives of Changsheng Island, but my father came to Changsheng Island before they were born. It was my father who dug out the Changsheng Chopsticks and the Three Corpses of Immortality. Without my father, I'm afraid there's no telling when the Three Corpses of Immortality would be able to be born."

"So, your parents were not originally the demon spirits of Changsheng Island?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the previous generation owner of Changsheng Island was not the native demon spirit of Changsheng Island.

"No, my mother is the demon spirit of Changsheng Island, but my father is not." Li Ming'er explained: "The demon spirits bred by Changsheng Island are not just the three immortal corpses, but also my mother. However, I have never seen my mother, but I heard that she died when she gave birth to me."

"I'm sorry." Li Xiu didn't expect Li Ming'er's life experience to be so miserable.

"It's nothing, because I have never seen my parents, so I don't have any feeling. The word 'parents' is just a name to me, and it doesn't have any actual impression or meaning." Li Ming'er said.

"Your mother died in childbirth, so what about your father?" Li Xiu asked puzzledly.

"I heard from the people on the island that not long after my mother gave birth to me, my father also disappeared, leaving me only this pair of immortality chopsticks." Li Ming'er smiled and said, "I don't know what my parents look like, or even what my father's name is. I just overheard the Black and White Devils on the island say that my father's name seemed to be Li Boyang. I don't know why he had a human-like name. I heard that he also gave me my name, so my name sounds like a human like his."

"Li Boyang!" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard that and stared at Li Ming'er in disbelief.
