It took the two of them only about an incense stick of time to kill the seventeen monsters one by one. Looking at the blood on the ground, the two of them walked past it and went to where the small barrier was.
When they got closer, they saw that the child was not on the ground, but in a magical instrument that looked like a small bowl.
"What kind of magic weapon is this? I can't tell what it is made of." Fengjiu looked at the thing under the child in the barrier.
"Break the barrier first, then take it out and have a look, and you'll know." The old man said, motioning for her to do it.
Seeing this, Fengjiu did not take action, but stared at the child and asked, "Old man, do you think this child should be okay? It should not be a demon beast, right?"
Hearing this, Hun Yuan Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He glanced at Feng Jiu, and seeing her tangled face, he said with a smile, "Why? Once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years, right?"
“That’s not the case. It’s just that if I pick him up again and he turns into a monster again, that feeling wouldn’t be very pleasant.” Feng Jiu frowned and said this, but she still stretched out her hand to make a seal, and with a surge of spiritual power, she broke the barrier.
Maybe because he cried for too long, the baby's cry sounded a little hoarse. Fengjiu looked at the dancing child, and saw that he was only wearing a small bellyband, and the blanket wrapped outside had been kicked away and used as a cushion under his body. Looking at this pink and chubby child, she bent down and picked him up.
It felt soft and heavy in her hand. She held it with one hand, lifted a corner of her bellyband, took a peek, and said with a smile, "It's a boy."
As she spoke, she looked at Hun Yuan Zi who was looking at the magic weapon, and asked helplessly, "Why do I feel like I have a affinity with these little babies and little beasts? I pick one up as soon as I go out."
"You've never picked up a baby before, so it's fate that you met this one. Let alone raising those contracted beasts, you can even afford to raise a few more babies. This child is in his current condition, so I guess you'll have to raise him in the future."
Hun Yuan Zi said, looking at the baby who stopped crying after being in Feng Jiu's arms, and said jokingly: "Look, this child stopped crying after being in your arms, as if he knew you were his mother."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu's forehead was covered with black lines: "I haven't gotten married yet!"
"So what if you're not married? You can't adopt a child if you're not married? If you like the child, you can keep him by your side. It's not a big problem."
The old man said disapprovingly, handing the blanket and the thing to Fengjiu, and said: "In my opinion, this child's origin is probably not ordinary. The corpses we saw earlier are probably not the child's parents."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" She raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
"This thing is a magical device, not an ordinary magical device. There are patterns on it, but even I, an old man, can't tell where this magical device came from. However, this magical device has no owner. It is only used as a small bed for this child to sleep. It can be seen that the child's parents must be extraordinary."
Hun Yuanzi paused, stroking his beard and saying, "According to my inference and guess, those who died should have been the servants who took care of the baby. The servants brought the young master to a place like this, I think, to avoid the enemy."
