Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 639: Chapter 258: Like a Freely Wandering White Cloud

The twilight was vast, engulfing the entire mountain range. The night mist descended, and black wings gradually opened. The distant mountains appeared like the spine of a giant beast, growing increasingly eerie and terrifying in the darkness.

Amidst the thin mist, a tiny baby lay on the back of a snow-white Peregrine Falcon, black hair fluttering in the wind, swiftly soaring across the mountain skies.

Why so arrogant?

It was because after battling with that giant eagle, Little White achieved a grand victory, still exuding evil qi and royal aura, deterring other bird demon beasts from rashly attacking.

On the other hand.

The child sitting on the Peregrine Falcon, though young, exuded a faint yet extraordinary air.

Even hinting at some deadly dangerous vibes, like a juvenile divine dragon.

They were even less dareful to attack rashly.

Thus, Little White raced through the high altitudes of the Great Mountain freely like a white cloud, shuttling around.

During this, no fierce bird demon beast came to provoke its sharpness!

The wind blew fiercely.

Looking down from high altitude.

The entire Great Mountain stretched thousands of miles east to west. As for its height, the highest point soared into the clouds. The peaks weren’t visible from the ground, and no one knew how high the mountain peaks were.

The mountain was a hundred miles away from the Great Wilderness Border Village, with picturesque scenery along the way, making one dizzy. But at this moment, Xu Ran had no mind to appreciate it, showing a worried face, uncertain about how to explain to his parents later.

”Little White, how do you think I should explain to my parents later so that it’s acceptable?” Xu Ran asked.

Xu Ran, along with Little White, hadn’t returned home for a night and an entire day. Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were already worried, and telling them about the life-and-death battle they just experienced would only add to their troubles, wouldn’t it?!

If they knew about this, they might not allow them to go out in the future. As the day of Snake King Awakening approached, Xu Ran might need to go out for training occasionally, and time was tight.

But Little White pretended not to understand, flying on its own, though clearly slowing down to let its master Xu Ran think of a good excuse.

”Normally, you rush back at the first call for food, and now you pretend not to understand when I ask for advice?” Xu Ran was somewhat helpless.

For now, the usually resourceful Xu Ran had no solutions.

”No choice, just muddle through it!” After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a method, to muddle through.

Upon hearing its master had a plan, Little White’s speed immediately changed, the surrounding clouds quickly passing by Xu Ran’s eyes, under the moonlight, resembling a meteor flying high, just like the day Xu Ran was born, flying towards the Xu Family’s courtyard.

...

At this moment.

Xu Family’s courtyard.

Lian Ji was anxiously pacing back and forth in the courtyard, the ”da da da” sound of her steps making Xu Binghu beside her somewhat uneasy.

”Wife, you’ve been pacing for a whole day. Take a rest,” Xu Binghu advised.

Originally, when Xu Ran left with Little White yesterday, Lian Ji was already very worried, but just worried about them, as for safety issues, she didn’t consider at all. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible for anything to happen to them in the Great Mountain.

Despite some concern last night, she still slept.

But after an entire night passed, and Xu Ran with Little White still hadn’t returned, now Lian Ji was anxious. For the whole day, Lian Ji had asked Xu Binghu to keep searching in the Great Mountain for the pair, but to no avail.

Now, evening came, and still without any trace, how could Lian Ji not be worried!

Upon hearing Xu Binghu’s words, Lian Ji instantly found a pillar of support, approached him with apprehension.

”Husband, could anything have happened to Little Ran and Little White? It’s been a day, and they still aren’t back?”

Xu Binghu patted Lian Ji’s back comfortingly, ”Don’t worry, with their current strength, it’s unlikely any demon beast in the Great Mountain could harm them!”

”Even hunters with our prowess in the Great Mountain remain unharmed, no need to worry!”

”Besides, I’ve asked people from the village to search the Great Mountain!”

In the villagers of Great Wilderness Border Village’s perception, with Xu Ran and Little White’s current strength, they could roam the Great Mountain, but despite this, as a father, Xu Binghu was very concerned, only not showing it in front of his wife.

Moreover, Xu Ran was only a little over one year old, claiming not to worry was indeed false.

As Xu Binghu comforted Lian Ji, a familiar crane’s cry echoed in the high sky, both instantly looked up towards the pitch-black sky, under the bright moonlight, the pair descended from high, just like the scene on Xu Ran’s birth day.

Upon seeing these familiar and worried figures, their suspended hearts immediately settled.

When Xu Ran and Little White descended into the center of the courtyard, Lian Ji immediately stepped forward, embracing Xu Ran in her arms.

”Little Ran, where were you this day and night? Don’t you know your mother was very worried about you?”

As Lian Ji spoke, there was a hint of sobbing in her voice. Xu Ran looked up to see the corners of her eyes already red.

He knew too, that being out of touch for a whole day and night was indeed wrong, but it was a sudden circumstance, who knew the enlightenment of the Immortal Sword Skill would take a day?

Xu Ran raised his small hand, gently wiping away the tears about to fall from Lian Ji’s eyes, softly apologizing in a milky voice.

”Mom, I’m sorry, it won’t happen again!” Little White beside them also nodded sincerely.
