"W-w-w-wait, this is so sudden? Is this really a Sessho-seki fragment? Wow, has my luck stat already reached EX?"
Mo Shuying was also surprised. When did his luck get this good? He found exactly what he needed on his very first stop.
What was he waiting for?
Mo Shuying picked up the large stone, put the other ordinary stones back, and then flew off.
Now, he needed to find a quiet place to figure out what exactly was going on with this stone.
Where would be quiet?
"M-m-master! You're back again!"
Qing Nü was on the verge of tears. He hadn't even been gone for 20 minutes! And he was back! This was torture, pure torture!
"Prepare a room for me. I need to see if there's anything wrong with this stone."
Mo Shuying walked in, carrying the stone. Only then did Qing Nü react, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Could this be the Sessho-seki? It has a strange, indescribable feeling to it…"
Qing Nü's intuition was quite good; she could sense the unusual nature of the stone. But if you asked her how unusual it was, she couldn't give any concrete details.
"Stop feeling it for now, just lead the way quickly."
"Yes!"
Soon, Mo Shuying arrived at a guest room.
Qing Nü wisely closed the door and withdrew. Mo Shuying placed the stone on the living room floor, then sat cross-legged beside it, observing closely.
"If I don't focus, it really just looks like a smooth stone. It seems to have a slight craving for my Mana. Let's try."
Mo Shuying placed his hand on the stone and began to inject Mana.
As Mana was injected, the stone began to show a slight reaction.
That faint craving was infinitely magnified. Mo Shuying found that the Mana he was injecting was being absorbed. Although slowly, it was indeed being absorbed.
If it had a reaction, then there was no problem. Mo Shuying wasn't in a hurry now. If this truly was a piece of the Sessho-seki, then he had already curbed the possibility of Tamamo-no-Mae's complete form. No need to panic! Take it slow!
And so, as Mo Shuying's Mana was injected little by little, the suction began to grow stronger.
From mere sips at first, it soon became a furious gulping.
Mo Shuying remained calm and composed as he injected Mana, providing a large and satisfying amount. Gradually, Mo Shuying noticed that the stone before him was actually emitting a vital, living aura!
"This isn't going to hatch something, is it?"
Mo Shuying suddenly felt like he was incubating an egg. The stone before him was like a giant egg, full of unknown possibilities.
*"Crack!"*
And the "giant egg" soon confirmed Mo Shuying's guess. A crack suddenly appeared, and then it spiraled out of control. Soon, cracks covered the entire stone. Mo Shuying raised his hand, switched to the Hohenheim Class Card, and set up a Boundary Field around them. The moment the Boundary Field was complete.
*"Bang!"*
The stone shattered! Countless fragments shot out, turning into specks of light and disappearing into the air.
Where the giant stone had been, a shining ball of light floated, then unfurled, gradually growing limbs! Finally, it transformed into a blonde loli!
The little girl wore a cute, pale red palace dress, and atop her head were a pair of adorable golden fox ears.
The little girl slowly spun in the air, and behind her, light condensed, forming a golden fox tail with a white tip.
"Da~"
The little girl's cute bare feet slowly touched the ground, and then she opened her golden, sparkling eyes.
Her gaze immediately fell upon Mo Shuying. A cute smile appeared on her pretty little face, her tiny fangs glinting, and then she pounced directly at Mo Shuying!
"Yay~"
*"Thud!"*
Mo Shuying felt no hostility, allowing the little girl to pounce into his arms, her head rubbing back and forth against his chest.
"This…"
Mo Shuying reached out, wanting to pat the little girl's back, but his hand had just lifted.
"Papa!"
"!!!"
A clear, adorable voice rang out, and Mo Shuying froze in place.
"You! What did you call me?!"
Mo Shuying was stunned! How did he suddenly become a father?! He couldn't help but grab the little girl's shoulders and lift her up.
The little girl looked up at Mo Shuying, detecting a hint of difficulty in his expression. Immediately, the little girl's expression turned sad, and tears welled up in her big eyes.
"Waaah~ Papa, don't you want Xiao Yu anymore? Waaah~ Papa doesn't like Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu is an unwanted child!"
She cried just like that! Mo Shuying used to hate it when children cried wildly; that kind of crying would make his skull feel like it was exploding.
But this time! What welled up in Mo Shuying's heart was tenderness and care. He felt like an unqualified father who hadn't taken good care of his daughter.
"I didn't say I don't want you, Xiao Yu, right? There, there, don't cry anymore~"
Mo Shuying coaxed the little girl with a plastered smile. Strangely enough, as Mo Shuying reached out to the little girl's head, feeling her soft hair and those distinctly textured ears, a strong sense of connection emerged in Mo Shuying's heart.
Mana circulated unimpeded, as if the two of them were originally one.
Feeling Mo Shuying's touch, the little girl broke into a smile through her tears and once again wriggled into Mo Shuying's embrace.
"I knew Daddy loves Xiao Yu the most~! Xiao Yu loves Daddy the most too!"
He was utterly melted, Mo Shuying felt his heart had completely melted. Who wouldn't want a cute daughter? Although he skipped the step of getting married, Mo Shuying felt that with such a daughter, getting married or not in the future wouldn't be an issue.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, how did you pop out of a stone?"
Though his heart was melted by cuteness, it didn't mean Mo Shuying had lost his rationality.
Xiao Yu looked up, then made an adorable thinking expression, trying hard to recall as she spoke.
"Xiao Yu isn't quite sure. Xiao Yu felt like it was all black around her before, and she slept for a very, very long time. But after Daddy appeared, all sorts of beautiful light spots showed up. Xiao Yu thought those light spots were delicious, so she couldn't help but eat a lot more, and then… she burst?"
Xiao Yu showed a terrified expression, quickly reached out to touch her belly, and relaxed only after confirming through her clothes that there were no holes.
"Haha~"
Mo Shuying was amused by Xiao Yu's antics. He reached out and patted Xiao Yu's head, some conjectures forming in his mind.
First.
From Xiao Yu's fox ears and tail, it was clear her relationship with Tamamo-no-Mae was certainly unusual. After all, the three Sessho-seki were originally transformed from Tamamo-no-Mae, and now two of them had already resurrected into a "Tamamo-no-Mae."
Yu, Xiao Yu… it was easy to connect her to Tamamo-no-Mae.
Second, perhaps this stone had not been worshipped, and its power had weakened to an extreme, which also led to the original will of Tamamo-no-Mae being eroded.
Mo Shuying, stroking Xiao Yu's head, could feel the purity of Xiao Yu's soul. This couldn't be faked; the Xiao Yu before him was as pure as fine jade.
As for the third point…
Mo Shuying looked at Xiao Yu and tentatively asked,
"Xiao Yu, do you know Tamamo-no-Mae?"
