Chapter 176 (2/2)

‘Whose family’s child could manage to wind up here?’

And this child even knew a great technique for scattering beans to make soldiers[1]…

He only had to fold things into the shape of animals to make them into real animals, which was rather similar to Taoist arts.

This little fellow’s technique was so great that it was obvious he was someone amongst experts. She had heard that when one cultivated to a certain level, they could cultivate a nascent soul[2] and that nascent soul could leave the body. ‘Could it be that this little child was the nascent soul of some powerful immortal?!’

Ning Xuemo got completely stunned by her own conjecture. In this world she had read quite a few books on cultivation, yet she had never discovered anything pertaining to nascent soul.

Nascent soul was a concept only mentioned in her previous world.

And the records there mentioned that while Taoist masters could cultivate a nascent soul that took the form of a one or two-year-old child, its features would still be similar to the original person’s, just a few times shrunken down.

And this child looked exactly like one. Bright and intelligent, tender and full of life, simply making people want to hug and kiss him.

So, anyone who wanted to chop him up into mincemeat really required a certain level of courage…

She once again lowered her eyes to look at him. ‘Tsk! Tsk! He unexpectedly changed his clothes in such a short time.’

He was no longer wearing that apron but a small white chinese-style long gown which looked exquisite, highlighting his beautiful small face.

For no reason, this little child reminded her of Huba from Monster Hunt[3]. Huba didn’t look like a human, but it was so cute that it made people feel happy and made people take pity on it, not bearing to harm it.

Not to mention its cuteness, this little child before her eyes looked human: similar to a charming pretty doll, even though she fully knew he was a monster…

The moment the little child woke up, he found himself tied up like a dumpling to a large stone.

[1] Making things to fight for you out of usually worthless things like seeds or beans or like that one Greek myth where they used dragon’s teeth (admittedly this is rather precious so probably not a good example)

[2] The raws used (yuanying) which literally means first or primordial infant, but we’re reusing Deathblade’s term from I Shall Seal the Heaven, Nascent Soul, since it’s the same character and meaning. Click here for more info.

[3] Huba is the baby demon king from the movie Monster Hunt. I mentioned about the movie for last week recommendation. You can look at this video to see how it looks like or google the picture. ?
