Chapter 661: Chapter 661

With her years of honed tea ceremony skills, Miss Bai immediately smelled a similar tea fragrance on Mu Ruoruo.

Then, looking at the young girl who was hugging Mu Zhian, her head buried in his embrace, her eyes grew even gentler.

This tea ceremony, and this name… this daughter must be hers.

Just then, Shang Yanfei suddenly said with a faint smile, “Since Ruoruo is so uneasy, you should take her back to rest for now. We can figure out how to send her back to the future later.”

“I will also deduce her origins in the meantime, to see whose child she is.”

Because of Mu Ruoruo’s appearance, Mu Zhian was also eager to leave.

His years of experience with the little black room told him that if he stayed here, there might be a ‘bloodbath’ later.

Mu Ruoruo’s appearance had stirred the emotions of everyone present. Originally, no one had any thoughts about ‘children’, but now, with her appearance, it seemed to have sparked some ideas.

If this continued, it might turn into a palace drama where whoever had a child had the advantage.

I have to get her out of here… This was the only thought in Mu Zhian’s mind at the moment.

“Ruoruo, I’ll take you back to rest first, okay?”

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian bent down and gently stroked the girl’s small head, saying softly.

Mu Ruoruo held Mu Zhian’s arm with her small hand and looked up at him timidly, “Can you stay with Ruoruo? Ruoruo is scared to be alone…”

Mu Zhian nodded discreetly, then left with her.

The moment they left the hall, the fearful look on Mu Ruoruo’s face gradually faded, replaced by a fleeting look of pleasure on her small face.

She quickly reverted to her frail and weak posture, looking at Mu Zhian with a worried expression, and whispered, “The mothers’ gazes just now were so scary. They won’t make things difficult for Daddy later, will they?”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine…” Mu Zhian said gently.

At most, I’ll just have to have a party with them. At worst, I’ll just be interrogated in the little black room…

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Who does this child take after? Why is she so proficient in the tea ceremony of all things…

“If the mothers really do something to you, Ruoruo will definitely help you,” Mu Ruoruo said with a serious expression, hugging Mu Zhian’s arm affectionately and gently rubbing her face against it.

“Mmm, good girl…” Mu Zhian smiled, thinking, But you don’t have to help me, just don’t cause trouble for your dad next time.

Walking on the stone-paved path in the forest, Mu Zhian looked at the lush green forest and the faintly visible lake at the end, enjoying the scenery leisurely while holding Mu Ruoruo’s hand.

On the way back, he was also thinking about who this child’s mother was.

Her name was a bit like Nai Xi, and her personality seemed to be similar to Nai Xi’s when she was young…

But if it really was Nai Xi, then Ruoruo should have called her ‘Mother’ just now, right?

Besides Nai Xi, who else in the fishpond was proficient in the tea ceremony…?

Mu Zhian fell into a brief silence.

In his mind, among all the fish, including the big sharks, the most proficient in the tea ceremony should be Sect Master Sister, Bai Ruoxi, and Yao Meng.

The others might have some tea ceremony skills, but they were still lacking.

Gong Lianyue and the Demon Empress, both at Transcendence Realm, were the more direct types. They were too lazy for palace intrigue and were the type to just do it if they said so.

The difference was that the former was a tsundere, and the latter was a queen.

Besides them, the Princess and her best friend Luo Tan had also transcended. Mu Zhian didn’t know much about their tea ceremony skills, but he didn’t think the daughter was theirs.

Just as he was thinking about this, Mu Ruoruo suddenly tugged at Mu Zhian’s sleeve and slowly squatted down.

Mu Zhian stopped, turned to look at the girl behind him. She was hugging her knees, her long hair cascading down to her waist, her soft bangs slightly covering her eyes.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Mu Zhian asked.

“The mothers’ auras just now were so scary. I’m still a little scared thinking about it. My legs are a bit weak,” she said weakly. Follow current novels on novęlfire.net

“Then let’s rest here for a while?”

“…No,” Mu Ruoruo shook her head gently. She buried her face in her knees, so he couldn’t see her expression.

Is having a child really this troublesome… Mu Zhian patiently asked softly, “Then what should we do?”

Although troublesome, he didn’t feel any aversion. He didn’t know if it was because of the girl’s beauty and her coquettishness, or because of their special relationship.

Mu Ruoruo pursed her lips, suppressing the smile that threatened to spread across her face. She looked up, revealing her pure and cute little face, then opened her arms and said in a spoiled tone:

Mu Zhian hesitated, “You’re already so big… and you’re at Nascent Soul Realm, right? It’s not very appropriate…”

Come to think of it, she was already at Nascent Soul Realm at the age of twelve or thirteen. It was clear that Mu Ruoruo was probably already at Core Formation or even Nascent Soul when she was born… How ridiculous.

Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

She raised her eyelids, her beautiful eyes filled with mist, looking at him pitifully.

For a moment, he seemed to see Lin Ling’s figure in the girl’s clear, glass-like eyes.

Lin Ling was the one Mu Zhian was most helpless against when she acted spoiled… And now there was Mu Ruoruo.

Mu Zhian sighed helplessly, squatted down, and placed his hands behind his back, signaling, “Come on.”

Mu Ruoruo got up happily and came behind Mu Zhian, then with a small step, sat directly on his shoulders.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment. He had expected to carry the girl on his back, but he didn’t expect Mu Ruoruo to sit directly on his shoulders.

And weren’t her legs weak? They weren’t weak anymore…?

“Let’s go, let’s go see Sister Luo Tan.”

Just then, Mu Ruoruo gently patted Mu Zhian’s hair and pointed towards the lake at the end of the forest path.

Since it had come to this, Mu Zhian could only support her by her legs and walk towards the forest at the end of the path.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Palace.

Because of Mu Ruoruo’s appearance, no one was in the mood to play Go anymore, and no one even noticed who won or lost the game between Shang Yanfei and the Jade Empress earlier.

The gazes of all the women were on Shang Yanfei.

She currently had her eyes closed, her white dress luxurious and beautiful, revealing a pair of alluring, fair shoulders, thin, translucent white silk gloves faintly revealing the tender white of her skin.

A holy and immense aura emanated from her, brilliant and extraordinary.

Behind Shang Yanfei, a black and a white fish appeared, forming a black and white tai chi diagram.

Faintly, the sound of the Great Dao’s vibration seemed to come, causing the black and white yin and yang fish to also produce spiritual energy fluctuations.

She was deducing Mu Ruoruo’s origins.

Among those present, many could deduce destiny, but to be as accurate as Shang Yanfei, and not be subject to karmic backlash, only she could do it.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Shang Yanfei. Even Lin Ling was very expectant, her red eyes sparkling as she looked at Sect Master Sister, unable to wait to know who Mu Ruoruo’s mother was.

She was a little disappointed when she first saw Mu Ruoruo, because she felt the child probably wasn’t hers.

But then she thought, no matter whose child she was, she was his child. Thinking this way, Lin Ling felt she could completely accept it.

Bai Ruoxi was also somewhat expectant, because from the girl’s name, personality, and even her tea ceremony skills, she felt Mu Ruoruo should be her child.

Lan Mulian also peeked at her Master.

Although she didn’t care if Mu Ruoruo was her daughter, she was still very curious about who the mother of Junior Brother’s first daughter was.

What if it really was her…?

Just thinking about this, Lan Mulian’s expression became somewhat complex, but an inexplicable shyness and anticipation welled up in her heart.

Until she noticed her younger sister’s teasing gaze, Lan Mulian finally reacted, a faint blush on her cool and beautiful face as she pretended to be indifferent and looked away.

Just then, the yin and yang fish stopped rotating, and the spiritual energy Shang Yanfei was circulating slowly dissipated.

Then, the woman slowly opened her gentle and beautiful eyes.

She looked around at everyone, her gaze sweeping over Lin Keyu, Yao Meng, Lin Ling, Yao Yue, her own disciple, and Lan Feiying, then finally landed on the voluptuous Miss Bai.

“She’s your child,” Shang Yanfei looked at Bai Ruoxi and said softly.

Although she had already been mentally prepared, hearing Shang Yanfei’s answer, Bai Ruoxi couldn’t help but show a shy and happy smile.

However, before Bai Ruoxi could speak, Shang Yanfei continued, “However, although she is your child, Mu Ruoruo was not born from you.”

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment.

Not born from me, but she’s my daughter…?

Shang Yanfei said with a faint smile, “To be precise, Mu Ruoruo is not the daughter of any of us… and she doesn’t belong to any of the women he knows.”

Lan Mulian raised a delicate eyebrow, “Since she is Bai Ruoxi’s child, why does Master say she’s not her child?”

A faint smile appeared on Shang Yanfei’s face. She looked at the fairy in the green dress, who was lazily sitting in the void, and said with a smile, “Jade Empress, it seems you already know?”

Yao Meng glanced at Shang Yanfei faintly, then looked up at the sky outside the Heavenly Palace.

“The Heavenly Dao is playing tricks, isn’t it?”
