393 Fie (1/2)

After some time, a child's cry could be heard... not. Krune and Feifei's girl came out in the world with nothing more than a curious face. Of course, she was just born, so she didn't understand anything. As for her appearance... at first, she did look like a human. If not for the random hair and irises. However, that was not what caught Feifei and Krune's attention. What surprised them was that when the midwife raised the little girl, she stayed there... floating!

Do not misunderstand it. It is not that the rainbow-haired and eyed girl didn't have weight, but that instead of a dantian, she had a Wisp Core inside. Her weight was pretty much the same as any human baby of her size. It was the Wisp Core that was keeping her afloat. The girl, who didn't understand anything, seemed to not be enjoying that sensation, though. It looked like she was about to cry too.

The midwife dazed expression disappeared and quickly grabbed the little girl, delivering her to Feifei. She had heard that the baby would be a hybrid between wisp and human and that she should expect some differences. Of course, the midwife still felt shocked to see the baby floating.

”Cough, cough. Have you decided on a name?”

Krune and Feifei came back to themselves after hearing that question. They then smiled at each other and nodded.

”Her name is Fie, Wang Fie.”

Krune doesn't have a family name to start with, so they simply decided to use Feifei's one for that. As for the Fie name, it was Krune who gave the idea. Since she was a girl, he wanted something that resembled Feifei's name. At that time, even Feifei was surprised by that suggestion. After all, Krune's naming sense isn't exactly 'remarkable.' But Fie was indeed a very good name that she liked at lot. Especially since Krune selected it because of her.

Krune touched her and sent his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense inside. Now that she was finally born, the blockage that Feifei's own cultivation exerted on her was gone. Krune was able to pry inside Feifei's womb before but had a hard time seeing everything clearly. Feifei was the same thing.

The first main difference was her meridians. Different from a human, Fie did not have blood and flesh meridians. Instead, Krune could totally feel the presence of the nine Elemental Meridians in her body. That confirmed his group theory that the Elemental Meridians could be inherited. Feifei, for example, still has her bodily meridians, but she had not used them for a very long time, nor did she need them.

'It is probably because I don't have normal meridians to start with, so she inherited a body without meridians from me. Well, even if the Elemental Meridians had not been inherited, she could still practice the Myriad Energies Technique later and create her own, so it wouldn't be a problem.'

”Look, her Elemental Meridians are like my own, very colorful.”

Feifei was surprised by that and checked it as well.

”Oh, you are right! Does it mean that she will be good at elemental control?”

Krune shook his head.

”I don't know, but I hope she will.”

”Let's see what else is different.”

Krune kept checking her body and soon found her Dantian, or better, Wisp Core.

”Oh, it's a Wisp Core. No wonder she was floating earlier and seemed weightless. It is the Wisp's Core fault. Still, this Wisp Core is different from the other wisps. I can see a few traits of a human's Dantian on it. I guess this is a good thing. I always believed that part of the reason why Wisps have a low lifespan had something to do with their Wisp Cores. Since her Wisp Core isn't the same, she probably won't have the same issue.”

Suddenly, Krune heard a voice inside the room.

”You are correct.”

A small spatial gate appeared inside, and right after, Cinty came out in her wisp form. She quickly went back to her human form, though.

”Still, there is a difference between a human's lifespan and a hybrid between wisp and human. She is exactly in the middle. A human that doesn't enter the Foundation Establishment can live around 100 years. As for wisps, they can only live for 10 years in the same condition. That means Fie has a lifespan of around 50 to 55 years if she doesn't enter the Foundation Establishment.”

Feifei and Krune didn't feel the least bit sad by that. 50 to 55 years of initial lifespan was more than enough for her to cultivate without having to worry about time. Especially since she has the Elemental Meridians. First of all, Krune and Feifei could see that she is already in the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. In the end, she did not enter the Foundation Establishment.

That was good, though. This way, she would have time to think about her own Foundation Form. But it was then that Krune's expression changed. He immediately sent his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense inside, but soon after, Krune relaxed.

Feifei noticed it, though.

”What happened?”

Krune patted Feifei's head and said.

”Nothing. Because Fie is a hybrid between human and wisp, I was afraid that her soul was inside her Wisp Core. Fortunately, she inherited the human trait in this case. Her soul is in her head, so she doesn't have the risk of dying if she fails to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Cinty confirmed Krune's words.

”That's one good thing about a hybrid between wisps and humans. Even if she fails and her Wisp Core breaks in the process, thanks to the Dantian traits of the Core, she will be able to recreate it and try again.”

Knowing this, Krune and Feifei were obviously even more delighted.

Cinty then looked at the group of midwives and asked.

”How was it?”

The midwives had low cultivations, so they couldn't tell at what level Cinty was. That's why Cinty didn't mind appearing in front of them.

”Everything went fine, it was exactly like you mentioned to us before we came here. Feifei delivered the placenta a little after the birth, which means that this was really a very human-like process.”

Cinty nodded, satisfied.

”Good.”
