Chapter 5 - Then I’ll be your father! (2/2)

The Central Plains — this was what they called the world that humans lived in.

Yan Xuanjing was forced to descend into the Central Plains penniless and his understanding of this place was limited. Once he had arrived, he had just hidden his conspicuous nine tails and was instantly targeted but a group of monsters drawn by the blood of a nine-tailed fox.

Yan Xuanjing didn’t think much about these little monsters and he could kill them all with a twitch of his fingers, but he still needed a safe and peaceful place to recuperate.

So Yan Xuanjing left a string of little followers behind him and searched around for a suitable place. As he searched, he smelled a smell that did not belong to the human world.

Then, he saw the small courtyard that was surround by the Morning Dusk.

Of course, Yan Xuanjing knew what the Morning Dusk was, so he was extremely surprised.

For there to be Morning Dusk in the Central Plains, it meant that it must have been planted by someone.

And for someone to be able to grow a living Morning Dusk in the human world, they must have had a pure soul that was mandated by the world.

What was a pure soul mandated by the world?

It basically meant that they were good person who had a pure heart, without the slightest darkened spots. Once their predestined life-span reached an end, they would be able to break themselves away from their physical body and ascend to immortality!

And from far, that courtyard looked imbued with vitality and full of life and seemed that was a good place to recover from injuries.

The owner of the courtyard would definitely be a good and kind person.

So Yan Xuanjing simply ran to the small courtyard and was ready to make a good relationship with this person who was destined to join the ranks of immortals.

And as he went, the string of little followers behind his butt naturally followed.

When the dark clouds covered the sky, there were always a lot of evil creatures that came out to make trouble.

The Morning Dusk was happily burning outside, and Yan Xuanjing, who had not been burnt, was planning to jump across the fence and politely knock on the door to give a greeting when a sharp nail on the fence made him jump and roll into the yard, falling at the foot of the yard’s owner.

“……”

What state of mind would one need to have in order to hide nails in your own fence?

Even if it wouldn’t hurt people, it’s not good to hurt innocent little animals!

The innocent little animal Yan Xuanjing couldn’t help but wonder.

But the respectable nine-tailed fox continued to firmly maintained his arrogant image — and with the host’s third invitation, consented to stay in the yard.

But there was something wrong with how the courtyard’s owner smelled.

Yu Xuanjing hesitated and sniffed the scent of the person before him, who was carefully washing his wound.

Although it has been washed away by the rain, but in addition to the human smell, there was indeed a faint monstrous scent, a clean and pure aroma of vegetation, slightly sweet, and a single smell made him want to hum and reveal his belly.

This wasn’t a pure human.

And it wasn’t an accidental stain either.

This is a half-monster.

…… half-monster.

Yan Xuanjing realised this and suddenly frowned, then was placated by the light and slightly sweet scent, and even the wounds on his body didn’t seem as painful.

Without the pain, his drowsiness and fatigue surged and overwhelmed him and comforted his spirit, giving him a feeling like he could leave all his troubles and sorrows behind.

It was like being soaked in warm water, his whole body was comfortable and at peace.

Lin Mu looked at the dog who had slowly closed its eyes while he was treating the wound, before it suddenly startled and struggled to stay awake, but then started to fall asleep without its control.

He stopped his movements and watched the dog struggle for a few times, before finally, its head fell into the towel with a muffled ‘thump’, and went to sleep in a second.

Lin Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

His actions changed from unfamiliar to skilled after bandaging only four wounds. He had always learned things quickly, and after he became proficient, he quickly handled the wounds on the dog that he could handle. As for the remaining wounds, Lin Mu was afraid that they would have to go to the vet.

Lin Mu looked at the dog’s miserable two front paws, sighed, and took out a hair dryer to blow dry its wet hair. With a closer look at the fluffy and clean fur, it seemed that it was the Samoyed he wanted.

The dog was currently lying down and sleeping on the already soaked towel. Holes had been cut into the fur of its body by Lin Mu, but the parts that had to be dealt with were all dealt with, and the dog no longer looked as awful as before.

Lin Mu was quite satisfied with this result. He looked at the dog who was snoring while sleeping and felt that if it was willing to stay, then the name of Milky could be inherited.

“If you are willing to stay……” Lin Mu packed up the medical box and talked to himself and thought about his position within the family for a long time before finally making a choice, “then I’ll be your father!”
