16 Mu (1/2)
Fan Daiyu was still screaming until she saw her mother already in front of her. She quickly composed herself and acted innocent. Her big wide eyes became teary and she reached out for her mother.
”Baby, why are you so noisy today?
Mommy is tired.”
Fan Daiyu almost spat out blood in outrage.
[You have a daughter now. What's up with your terrible parenting?!
FEED ME! IM HUNGRY!]
”Mama!”
She frowned and pointed to her stomach.
Her angry expression melted Nuwa Yenay's heart.
She fed Daiyu and changed her. They spent some time in harmony going outside and looking at the garden.
Before waking up Fan Ying, they both planned to scare him to death for being a terrible father.
Nuwa Yenay wanted to punish him for being so irresponsible and lazy.
”Little Jade, I'm going to scare your daddy all you have to do is act as if you're in pain okay.”
Daiyu nodded and they both hugged and smiled cruelly behind each other's backs.
Fan Daiyu started to tremble and curled up in pain.
[Her acting is too good. How did she learn all this?
Where did she see it?]
Uncertainty filled her eyes but it seemed that all the impossible was possible with her daughter so she just ignored it.
She quickly made her clothes disheveled and made a mess out of her hair. She looked as if she had been through something horrible. She ran to her husband and hugged her daughter tightly.
”YING! YING! WAKE UP!”
She sobbed and screamed.
Upon hearing such an aggrieved voice, Fan Ying immediately stood up and saw his wife looking terrible.
His daughter had been screaming earlier on and it was horrible but if something happened to her and those screams were from pain he would never forgive himself for not standing up, for not hurrying to her side, for not being a good father.
He reached his wife and saw their small bundle of love curled up in so much pain. She was softly sobbing just like when she had her first nightmare. He panicked and almost broke down.
He was about to run and get a physician when his wife burst out in laughter.
[My wife has finally gone crazy. The heavens are punishing me.]
His heart dropped and he went to hug his wife.
But.
She didn't seem crazy.
She told him what they had planned and he was furious nonetheless how could he stay angry at such beautiful pair of mother and daughter.
”Little treasure you can stop acting now.”
However, she didn't respond.
Nuwa Yenay shook her a bit and still no response.
She began to truly start panicking.
Something was wrong, terribly wrong.
They ran and got ready to head to Lilian's home in a panic.
The couple were already outside when they saw a tiny hand point out to the plaza. She was giggling.
She tricked them into going out.
[What a smart child!]
Fan Daiyu just wanted them to stop wasting time. She needed to learn and discover everything that was new to her. She wanted to grow and start walking and thinking for herself already.
The couple conceded to their teary baby and headed to the plaza.
Everything was different.
There were no skyscrapers or TV's or anything electronic.
The plaza was an open space where people gathered and events went on. It was chaotic but much calmer than the places in her past life. On one stage, people were fighting one another with strange techniques. There was a strange looking fruit on a table and the paper near it read: PRIZE!
There were food stands everywhere and strange clothes everywhere.
She began to notice that her parents and everyone else wore ancient like clothing.
Robes.
They weren't as bulky as the robes she had seen in a museum that she had sneaked into once but instead were silky and flowy. Women were mostly elegant. There was one dark area in which she had seen some very curvy and revealing women. It seemed normal to her but her mother covered her view when she noticed her looking that way.
”Yu'er you are not allowed to be like those women. They are a bad influence.”
Fan Daiyu nodded and looked elsewhere. It seemed to be a very conservative world.
[That's good.]
She looked around and a young man caught her eye. He was under a tree sitting cross-legged.
He had his eyes closed and seemed concentrated.
She pointed towards him and looked at her father questioningly.
Fan Ying looked at the direction of her small finger and saw a man cultivating in an isolated area.
”He is cultivating.”
Seeing his daughter looking at him expectantly, he felt his heart pierced by her cuteness.
”When one is old enough, one can start cultivating. Cultivation is like getting energy available in the world to make it into your own. You get power and can make skills with it. All you have to do is discover yourself by sitting like that and then discovering the energies that are compatible with you.”
