Chapter 697 - 697 The Son of the Leader of the Hundred Demons
697 The Son of the Leader of the Hundred Demons
The child’s words were sincere, which troubled Jiang Ming even more.
He had no intention of raising a child at all, let alone bringing a child along with them to travel the world!
Moreover, although this child grew up quickly, he was still immature. There were many things that could easily hurt him. It was not appropriate for him to come along with them at all!
Jiang Ming became more and more worried. If he could not take good care of this child, his biological parents would blame him.
“There are some things that you can’t just say. If you continue to be like this, you can stay with Master Murong. Don’t follow me anymore.”
Jiang Ming’s words once again made the child stop putting up a fuss. The child responded obediently, “Father, you’re right. I will definitely remember this. I won’t embarrass you, Father.”
This child was doing his best to get used to this unfamiliar environment.
After a while, Jiang Ming answered the child. His meaning was obvious.
He wanted to send this child back to his real home.
Master Murong grimaced. “Do you really want to return this child? Are you sure you can’t let him tag along with you?”
Jiang Ming was so angry that he laughed. “If we don’t send this child back, who will raise him? How would I have the time to raise this child? What if this child bumps into something dangerous?”
The princess thought for a moment and then said, “This child seems to be quite powerful.”
Zhu Asi stepped forward and asked the child, “What other spells do you know? How about we take a look?”
The child immediately became arrogant. “I know a lot of spells!”
At this point, he coughed again. “Watch carefully.”
When he said this, the child glanced at Jiang Ming from the corner of his eyes. It was obvious that he was talking to Jiang Ming in hopes that Jiang Ming would agree to adopt him.
Jiang Ming did not have much interest in what was going on and began to drink tea slowly again.
No matter what, he had to return this child to his biological parents.
Even if the child’s parents did not want him, the child had some abilities that should be enough for him to survive.
Seeing that Jiang Ming was looking, the child thought that Jiang Ming was considering his proposal, so he worked even harder. He conjured all kinds of small animals in his hands and controlled the shadows of these small animals. These small animals could obviously help the child continue to survive.
Jiang Ming looked at the child’s happy expression and could not help but laugh as well. He looked at the child again.
The child put in even more effort in his performance. He suddenly felt that he had hope and could truly become Jiang Ming’s son.
When the child finished his performance, everyone was a little hungry. They told the child it was enough.
The child was still not satisfied, but he did not continue to perform. Instead, he went straight to Jiang Ming. “Lord Ning Caichen, what do you think of me?”
He did not dare to call Jiang Ming his father anymore. He was afraid that Jiang Ming would be disgusted.
“Not bad.” Jiang Ming encouraged the child and continued, “I hope you can learn more spells.”
The child nodded frantically.
Jiang Ming pursed his lips and looked at Master Murong. “How did you deal with the other children here in the past?”
“To be honest, there are no other children,” Master Murong coughed and said seriously.
Hearing Master Murong’s words, everyone was dumbfounded, “So, you were lying to us? This child was not attracted by Lord Ning Caichen’s mana at all?”
“No, no, no! That’s not it.”
Master Murong shook his head and coughed. “How is that possible? Jiang Ming is the only one with such strong mana.”
“Isn’t this the gathering place of all the hot shots?”
Madman senior looked at Master Murong with suspicion.
Master Murong forced a smile and looked at Madman Senior, “To be honest, I could understand the motives of those hot shots, but I could not understand Lord Ning Caichen’s motives at all. I don’t know what you guys are thinking.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
It was very obvious. Jiang Ming’s strength had already reached a terrifying level.
Master Murong could not understand Ning Caichen!
The child was curious. “Are you saying that Lord Ning Caichen is very powerful? I didn’t know.”
Zhu An’an did not know whether to laugh or cry at the child’s words. She muttered to herself, “You didn’t know and yet you still came over. What kind of idiocy is this?
The child smiled shyly. “I can smell a special fragrance coming from Lord Ning Caichen’s body. This fragrance makes me want to be close to him. I don’t know why.”
“Fragrance? I heard that the son of the leader of the Hundred Demons can smell the fragrance of people who are especially powerful. The stronger they are, the stronger the fragrance. Are you his son?”
“What are you talking about? I am the son of Lord Ning Caichen, not the son of the leader of the Hundred Demons.”
Hearing this, the child became angry.
Infuriated, the child transformed.
There were small bells on his mouth and nose. His body was blue, and there were yellow markings on his upper body.
Looking closely, the yellow markings were very obvious. They vaguely formed the shape of a lotus.
The lotus seemed to be faintly flickering with light. Not only that, but there was also a word clearly written on it: Wu.
“Wu?” When Madman Junior saw this word, he could not help but grin. He looked at the child in confusion. “It’s very obvious that you’re the son of the leader of the Hundred Demons. However, the leader of the Hundred Demons is really cruel to hand you over to Lord Ning Caichen.”
Madman Senior added, “If it were me, I would follow Lord Ning Caichen and spend a few hundred years with him. That would surely help me become an immortal.”
“How is this possible?”
The princess was stunned.
Her father had told her about these things, but she had not paid attention.
Now that she thought about it, she could not help but regret it.
At this moment, she coughed again and looked at Madman Junior. “Can this child switch parents? If possible, I’m willing to raise this child.”
She had a good plan.
As long as this child grew up, he would definitely have many abilities.
At that time, even if she did not become an immortal, she would have something protecting her.
Madman Junior was about to answer when the child answered first. “Impossible. You can’t raise me. It’s impossible in this lifetime! Don’t even think about it!”
