Chapter 452 - 257: The Fierce Primordial Immortal Qi
The evening sky was cobalt blue.
The cooler autumn breeze blew over the West University Family Courtyard, blowing against Bai Mo’s black sweater.
He carried his disciple Wind and Fire Wheel, walking along the red brick path next to the greenery.
"Ying ying ying, awo awo ying ying~"
Wind and Fire Wheel whispered fox words into the guru’s ear, gesturing energetically, very happy!
Just now, it had gone to feast at a banquet with Master Chong, Fang Xiaoyu, and Professor Hong Anxi’s team at the hotel, stuffing itself until its belly was round.
"Remember, don’t babble when we go back to Fox Mountain!"
Wind and Fire Wheel nodded solemnly.
Foxes are very cunning!
It raised its head, eyes shining with intelligence, knowing in its heart that today’s meal was lucky, exceeding the usual standard, secretly enjoying without telling other brothers.
As Bai Mo walked, occasionally he saw neighbors who were professors and lecturers getting off work, exchanging friendly greetings with a smile.
Passing by the family building, lights were already on upstairs, and from the window, a small head peeked out secretly.
It was Feng En Di!
This family was peculiar; for unknown reasons, they did not allow their child to play with Immortal Beasts.
However, that child often liked to secretly watch Bai Mo’s fox disciple, eyes shining from afar, looking very happy and excited.
With its fox eyes, Wind and Fire Wheel easily detected the little disciple’s peeking.
For the first time experiencing having a fan, Wind and Fire Wheel was smug.
At this moment, it was squatting on the guru’s shoulder, front paws crossed behind its back, belly protruding, slightly lifting its chin towards the little disciple in the distant window.
Suddenly, the little disciple behind the window became excited and began jumping and waving his arms madly.
Feeling proud, Wind and Fire Wheel suddenly thought of Peacock Red Treasure... Previously thinking Red Treasure was silly, today it suddenly experienced Red Treasure’s happiness.
It grinned in secret.
Bai Mo also smiled, slowing his pace a bit, allowing the child to gaze longer, letting Wind and Fire Wheel pose for a while longer.
...
Finally, watching Bai Mo enter the building’s corridor, Feng En Di lowered his raised hand, face showing disappointment.
Behind him, Madam Feng called out.
"Come eat quickly! Tonight we have your favorite ham and egg custard!"
Feng En Di immediately turned around.
"Coming!"
He ran to the dining table, first opening his tablet, launching the short video software, skillfully searching for "Expert Bai Mo."
Once the video was found, he began eating while watching.
From the short video software, a girl’s voice sounded.
"Dear family members, today at the Golden Emperor Hotel, I encountered Expert Bai Mo..."
While scooping rice into his mouth, Feng En Di’s eyes darted as he focused on Expert Bai Mo... and the fox on his shoulder.
This child in the family courtyard still had no social circle.
Other kids didn’t dare fight him anymore, resorting to isolating him. But he had new interests—a passion for martial arts and idol worship. Every morning and evening, he watched the fox elder passing by. When he couldn’t see, he went online to frantically search various photos and videos.
Madam Feng didn’t say much, simply sitting beside her son, feeding him with a small spoon.
"Open your mouth, son, eat a meatball.
"Dear, have a bite of the egg custard."
Though idol worship wasn’t ideal, at least her son was happy every day, never feeling empty.
Lifting her gaze to the table’s dishes, then to their living conditions in this family courtyard, Madam Feng suddenly felt that even if her husband wasn’t home, life wasn’t so hard. Many in society lived tougher lives than theirs.
Given their circumstances, there was nothing to be pretentious about.
"Hehe."
Madam Feng picked up a piece of leftover ribs from lunch, removed the bone, and combined the meat with a scoop of rice before feeding it to her son.
"Open your mouth, have another bite!"
...
After dinner, Madam Feng tidied the dining table, washing dishes and pans.
Feng En Di continued to watch videos.
As he watched, his eyes would glow, digging up ancient videos of the Fox Immortal Beast fighting.
"Wow, the big brother is so handsome.
"It’s really capable in combat."
Madam Feng, after finishing the cleaning, occasionally responded.
"Yeah, yeah.
"Very handsome!
"Haha, Immortal Beasts are inherently cool, right?
"I remember seeing an internet-famous Immortal Beast Peacock..."
Finally, Madam Feng finished brushing the plates and the bowls.
Removing her rubber gloves, relieving her sore waist, preparing to rest a bit, suddenly she sensed something was wrong.
Why was her son so quiet?
Turning her head, she saw her son’s tablet already locked.
Sunk into the sofa, his face was glowing red, expression vacant, tears streaming ceaselessly, making his face watery, dripping down his neck, wetting his collar.
"Son? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly crying?"
She walked forward.
But the son did not respond at all, only continued crying.
Madam Feng realized something seemed amiss.
"Could he be ill?"
...
Glug glug...
On the study desk, Wind and Fire Wheel brewed a pot of honey green tea for the guru.
It poured a cup for the guru, and one for itself, then sat on the table, lifted its cup to start drinking.
"Ying ying ying!"
The taste was rather decent!
While Bai Mo watched a paper on his computer, he lifted the cup, grinning.
"This honey and green tea, in the current world, is near top-notch. It’s different from Fox Mountain’s, but has its flavor."
Suddenly, his smile froze.
Turning his head towards the window, looking in the direction of Feng En Di’s home.
"This... This is... It’s the aura of Primordial Immortal Qi?"
His Divine Sense spread like the wind, flying out the window, with the evening breeze, like threads and wisps, following the aura, crossing the road below, heading towards the diagonally opposite building, seeing Madam Feng hurriedly dressing, about to take her son to the hospital.
