Chapter 159 - Impressive... (2/2)
”Sorry about that. I promise I wouldn't do it again. But when I become stronger, will you be up for spar?”(Aizen).
”I don't mind sparring, but please not more senseless limb loss...”(Allessa).
”Okay, I promise. But right now better check on the little girl. I will even pick some useful things along the way.”(Aizen).
”Stealing from the dead?”(Allessa).
”First, if they are dead it isn't stealing, simply picking what is lying around. Second, shinobi habits die hard. and Third, I will make a proper burial for everyone, its only natural that I take payment”(Aizen).
”It is fine I guess. I did this a lot on my home verse, we were always at war so scavenging became second nature to me too, it took a long time for me to stop doing it”(Allessa).
”Huh, interesting... But let's take care of a little girl”(Aizen).
Well, when I healed the little girl I used the opportunity to scan her mind with some of the Yamanaka Jutsu, normally scanning the mind of someone is a battle of wits and will, something that could be dangerous to both the victim and the caster, but after I became an Arhat, my soul literally became illuminated and started evolving into a higher state fo being, so I doubt any mortal could stop my mind arts now.
Her name is Zi Ling, and she doesn't have that many memories, of course, it's because she is one year old and for some strange reason she has an indomitable will to live, quite impressive I might add. And she is pretty smart for her age, I don't doubt if she survives she can become a God rank here.
Alessa took the little girl in her arms and we exited the village, I created a simple Japanese house with my Wood Release, and we waited for the little girl to wake up, before that we have something to discuss...
”So what do you want to do with Zi Ling?”(Aizen).
”So that is her name.. I don't know, to be honest, we could always just find a good orphanage and send her there... ”(Allessa).
”I am not the type to babysit too, and kids are too troublesome, so I don't mind the orphanage option.”(Aizen).
”But I feel somewhat sad about it... it must be my transition into arhat and Bodhisattva.”(Aizen).
”I know how it must be... It's like you can't help but do something good right...”(Allessa).
”I know ts pretty messed up, heck I myself made a bunch of kids orphans in my homeworld... But I don't know... I feel extremely bad if I don't do this...”(Aizen).
”Well I particularly don't mind, this Zu Ling seems to have a very strong will. so she shouldn't be that bad...”(Allessa).
”At least it will be a good experience, But if we are gonna do it, better do it right, I don't do things half-assed.”(Aizen).
”Me neither, if we gonna do it we do it the right way...”(Allessa).
”So? Let's adopt?”(Aizen).
”Let's adopt.”(Allessa).
It may seem coldhearted to talk like that, but it's better if Zu Ling finds a loving family than some parents that don't want her. And like I said, I don't do things halfheartedly, if we are gonna adopt her, I will treat her as my real daughter. And father and mother and who raises, not who is biologically connected, those that are just biologically connected are simply s.p.e.r.m and egg donors, parents are those who raised you with their love and affection.
”Talking about Zu Ling, she appears to be waking up”(Aizen).
”Let's greet her, in the end, we are her new parents...”(Allessa).
”Sure”(Aizen).
We entered her room, and you could say that little girl is undeniably cute, she has copper-colored hair and big copper-colored eyes, her eyes are slowly blinking awakening what she presumably thought was her death, she looks around the wooden wall confused until she spots us. Seeing us she spots a fearful curious feeling, Alessa is literally a 2.18 meters tall elf, and me a 2.10 meters tall dude, it's a given she didn't immediately start crying.
She looks between us and says nothing, she must be very shy or afraid, But for some reason every time she focuses on me she would become calmer and more at ease, must be my aura and demeanor halfway to becoming a Buddha is no joke.
”Hello Zu Ling, Me and Allessa here found, healed, and rescued you from that village. We thought about it a bit and decided to adopt you. do you accept?”(Aizen).
She looks at me strangely. Oh right forgot she is just one year old.
”We both wanted to be you, mommy and papa?”
She just looks at me and Allessa a little bit and nods her cute head vigorously.
