Chapter 60

Her gaze lingered on him, and the display of his second ability sent shockwaves through her, leaving her reeling in a whirlwind of uncertainty.

"You..." She wanted to say something, but no words came to her mouth.

Finally, after calming down, she looked at Hun Yu. "Why is it totally opposite?"

"Your martial spirit has a holy attribute, but this skill seems entirely opposite to it."

Hearing her question, even he had no answers. Usually, in normal cases, there should be a clash between his spirit ring and his martial spirit, but there was none. One positive aspect was that he now had a sword to fight with. He didn't know what this sword could do, but its mere presence could make life near it nearly perish.

"It must be something good," he thought.

She looked at the confused face of Hun Yu and gazed at the sun, which was slowly going down.

"Okay, let's return first; it's getting late."

"Okay."

Tailing behind her, they finally arrived near the house.

"You seem to be concerned about something," said Hun Yu, walking quietly behind her. Although she tried her best to conceal it, he still noticed the subtle signs of her unease.

"It's just a small thing," she replied, attempting to brush off the conversation.

Hun Yu fell silent for a moment, and then, with a calm demeanor, he stated, "Since you don't want to tell, then I won't bother." The previous smile that adorned his face was no longer there, and she noticed this change almost immediately.

In that moment, her heart quickened its pace.

'Is he angry?' thoughts ran wild in her mind.

'Wait... why am I wondering if he is angry or not?'

'I shouldn't be thinking of things like this!!!'

She shook her head and continued walking.

Both of them entered the house, the creaking door announcing their arrival.

She tiptoed into the room, her eyes fixed on her cute baby peacefully sleeping on the bed. A tender smile curled on her lips as she watched the rhythmic rise and fall of the baby's chest.

Hun Yu, on the other hand, moved quietly to find his spot to sleep. The dim light cast gentle shadows across the room as he settled down.

Her gaze shifted from the baby to Hun Yu, who sprawled on the bed next to Yunfeng. "Humph, shameless, didn't even ask me to go first.".

Frustration bubbled within her, and she turned abruptly, stepping outside into the cool night air. Finding solace on a weathered stone, she sat, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The beauty of the night sky, adorned with stars, wispy clouds, and the serene glow of the moon, offered a momentary distraction.

So beautiful.

...

"What?" Hun Yu sensed a change in his surroundings.

Confusion etched his face as he tried to reconcile being on the bed a few seconds ago with suddenly finding himself elsewhere. "Oh, welcome, welcome."

An old, familiar voice echoed behind him, and as he turned, there stood the god of archery.

"Hello," the god greeted, his eyes focusing on Hun Yu.

"So did you finally have time to show up?" Hun Yu asked with a mixture of irritation and curiosity in his tone.

The god, seemingly embarrassed, began to explain. "Little one, you see... This old man was asleep after exhausting energy to open that space rift for you two years ago. And I've only recently recovered."

"Well, thanks for helping in saving Yunfeng," Hun Yu acknowledged, a sincere note in his voice.

The god's gaze shifted to the side, and a teasing tone entered his voice: "Little one, that was your child?"

Hun Yu nodded, and a subtle smile graced the god's face.

As the conversation unfolded, Hun Yu couldn't contain his curiosity. "So, what is the next test?"

The god, coughing lightly, hesitated before responding. "Um, well, how should I say it? I cannot pass on my inheritance to you."

Hun Yu's eyebrow arched in surprise.

"Why?" Hun Yu questioned the confusion evident in his voice.

The god's gaze lowered, and he admitted, "Because I made an oath to only pass my inheritance to a human."

Hun Yu absorbed this revelation, taking a moment to process it. "Then do I look like some demon?" he asked, a touch of frustration in his voice.

The god fell silent, and after a thoughtful pause, he began to unravel the complexity of the situation. "Although you may look like a human, you are not. I have gazed at your soul. It is not like the soul a human should have, nor does it match the soul of any spirit beast."

"It seems to be very, very complex. Even I was not able to understand what it is," the god concluded.

The more he listened, the more questions popped into his mind. "Stop talking nonsense; if you don't want to give it, just say so."

"And how do I get out of here? I want to sleep," he asked with a plain tone.

"Ah, wait," the response came.

He turned around, confusion written all over his face. "?"

"If I cannot give it to you, it doesn't mean I cannot give it to your son. His talent should be good since he has angel blood."

Hun Yu fell silent at this . "So, since you said I am not 'human,' then he also shouldn't be human."

The old man heard this and opened his mouth to explain, "Isn't it simple? He inherited most from his mother, and I did check; his soul is that of a normal human."

".."

"You can ask him when he grows up."

"But only if you protect him," came the small request from Hun Yu. "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal," the old man replied, waving his hand. Hun Yu vanished from there, and a golden energy left his body, entering Yunfeng silently.

Hun Yu stood up and sensed around. "Huh. Where is she?"

He walked out of the house, and there she was, sitting on a rock, gazing at the sky silently. Slowly walking towards her, she also saw him coming.

"Hey, here, take this," he said, offering a blanket to her. "You might catch a cold."

She looked at Hun Yu blankly. A spirit saint catching a cold?

But still, she took it. Hun Yu sat near her. Time slowly passed.

"Can you see the stars?" Renxue asked, although she knew the answer.

He said with a smile, "No, I cannot see them, but they must be beautiful."

She looked at the sky. "Then, I will tell you."

She started describing how the sky looked, and through her words, it wasn't hard for Hun Yu to imagine the beauty of the night sky. "So beautiful," he remarked.

Even Hun Yu didn't realize it, but now both of them were sitting just inches apart. She was looking at the sky, but Hun Yu was getting enchanted by her scent.

Finally, he built up some courage to make a move, slowly extending his hand towards Renxue's palm. As their palms touched, a hint of red appeared on Renxue's face; she seemed to have already anticipated Hun Yu's movements.

Seeing no adverse reaction from her, he let out a deep exhale of relief. Soon, their palms were together, and Renxue's face waxed red. Although she didn't show it, anyone could tell she was blushing.

Time passed, and hours seemed to disappear. Hun Yu turned his face toward her.

"MOM!" A voice came from behind. Just as she heard this, she freed her hand, which Hun Yu was holding, at light speed.

Hun Yu also astonishingly observed Yunfeng. How did this little baby avoid being detected by his senses?

Renxue quickly covered Yunfeng in a blanket. "What are you doing outside? You'll catch a cold," she asked, and to this, Yunfeng replied, "There was no one inside."

"Alright, alright, let's go inside, okay, happy?" Renxue responded, guiding Yunfeng indoors. However, Hun Yu remained seated with a smile of accomplishment on his face.
