Chapter 126: Mother!

Facing the wave of fish crashing down one after another, Meng Yingxing continuously swung the Ting Tian Sword left and right.

With the enhancement of “Cloud-Coming Sword Control,” the sharpness of the Ting Tian Sword was something these spells absolutely could not contend with.

Every time the blade swung, the wave of swimming fish would shatter into floating foam.

Although the spells launched by the cloaked figure couldn’t cause any harm to Meng Yingxing and Xiu Qingcheng, her purpose was merely to block their pursuit.

But obviously, these little tricks couldn’t even manage to trip up Meng Yingxing and Xiu Qingcheng’s footsteps.

While swinging his sword to slash apart the attacks spawned by the spells, Meng Yingxing ran towards the cloaked figure holding the baby, alongside Xiu Qingcheng.

The blade swung, and the sword edge traced a brilliant trail in the air.

Within a single sword strike, several spell attacks were completely turned into floating foam, and Meng Yingxing had already pulled the sword light close to the cloaked figure.

With a grim expression, Meng Yingxing raised the Ting Tian Sword high and launched a series of attacks on the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure didn’t seem very adept at combat; under Meng Yingxing’s successive attacks, she could only lower her body and use a water-blue shield condensed from spiritual power to block the Ting Tian Sword.

Cracks constantly appeared on the shield, and the cloaked figure gritted her teeth, retreating step by step.

The baby in her arms cried loudly, and the cloaked figure seemed to intentionally shield him, afraid that her confrontation with Meng Yingxing would hurt him.

“Stop!”

After who knew how long of building up, the cloaked figure finally raised her head and shouted hoarsely at Meng Yingxing.

As she looked up, she happened to see Meng Yingxing swinging his sword towards her, and a form of address blurted out from her mouth.

“Little Benefactor?”

The somewhat familiar voice and address made Meng Yingxing freeze, but most of his sword move had already been unleashed, making it difficult to retract.

The sword move was like a heavy hammer, smashing the spiritual power shield in the cloaked figure’s hand, and at the same time, the cloak on her body and sleeves shattered as well.

The cloaked figure cried out in pain, and the baby in her arms flew out uncontrollably.

Meng Yingxing’s eyes widened, and he shouted urgently towards his back:

“Master!”

“I know, I know!”

Xiu Qingcheng hurriedly flew towards the direction the baby was flying, reaching out to catch the baby in her arms with immense care.

Seeing Xiu Qingcheng save the baby, both Meng Yingxing and the cloaked figure breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.

Xiu Qingcheng landed and teased the little baby in her arms.

Unknown whether Xiu Qingcheng had some magic power, or if the baby liked the “flying” sensation just now, the little baby who had been crying ceaselessly in the cloaked figure’s arms was now giggling foolishly in Xiu Qingcheng’s embrace.

Looking at the baby, a helpless expression appeared on Xiu Qingcheng’s face as she looked up and glared at Meng Yingxing.

“Disciple, I don’t recall teaching you the ‘Ungrateful Sword Technique’.”

“I didn’t control my strength properly, Master.”

Meng Yingxing admitted his mistake honestly.

If not for Xiu Qingcheng protecting him from behind, he feared that today he would not only fail to save the baby but also cause its death.

Meng Yingxing felt it was necessary to strengthen his control over the sword and sword moves.

Now that the baby had been saved, the only thing left was to deal with the human trafficker in front of them.

“No matter who it is, crimes will be brought to justice. Go, come with me to the authorities!”

Xiu Qingcheng pointed one hand directly at the cloaked figure in front of Meng Yingxing.

But when Xiu Qingcheng placed her gaze on the cloaked figure, she was momentarily stunned.

Stunned along with her was Meng Yingxing.

The cloak on the figure had already been torn by Meng Yingxing; at this moment, the beautiful face of the cloaked figure was smiling faintly, but revealed endless bitterness when facing Meng Yingxing.

That was a woman.

Her neck, originally covered by the cloak, was exposed, with a layer of faint blue scales shimmering with illusory brilliance under the sunlight.

“Long time no see, Little Benefactor.”

The woman before Meng Yingxing bowed slightly to him, her face full of a bitter smile.

“Li Mo?!”

Xiu Qingcheng widened her eyes, calling out the woman’s name one step ahead of Meng Yingxing.

Yes, standing before Meng Yingxing and Xiu Qingcheng at this moment, the cloaked figure suspected of snatching the baby, was none other than the Jiaoren Li Mo who had disappeared after the demonic beast attack on Yongning City a few months ago!

Li Mo hadn’t met Xiu Qingcheng and cast a somewhat puzzled gaze on her.

“Little Benefactor, this is?”

Before Meng Yingxing, who had just come back to his senses, could explain, Xiu Qingcheng hurriedly spoke for him.

“Cough, I am Meng Ying… Meng Qingcheng’s master. You can, you can just call me Xiu Yingxing——”

Thinking of this rotten alias her disciple had come up with, Xiu Qingcheng wanted to kick Meng Yingxing’s butt; it made her have to change her name too!

What ‘Meng’ sounded good?

What ‘Meng Yingxing’, it was all messed up, completely messed up!

But… at this point in time in Zhongyang Town, there shouldn’t be anyone who didn’t know Meng Yingxing, right?

Would they be exposed?

But on second thought, Xiu Qingcheng figured being exposed was no big deal.

“My disciple mentioned you to me. Jiaoren race, very beautiful girl, I recognize you!”

Xiu Qingcheng laughed it off casually.

Even though any girl from the Jiaoren race would be beautiful.

But looking at Li Mo’s relieved expression, it seemed she not only believed the name Meng Yingxing but also believed Xiu Qingcheng’s nonsense explanation.

“Oh, oh, so it’s Little Benefactor’s master. Greetings, Master Yingxing.”

Li Mo also bowed slightly to Xiu Qingcheng.

“Miss Li Mo, you left without saying goodbye a few months ago…”

Meng Yingxing subconsciously wanted to chat with Li Mo about matters from a few months ago, but Xiu Qingcheng coughed heavily, her expression slightly serious.

“Disciple, now is not the time to catch up on old times.”

As she spoke, Xiu Qingcheng stared straight at Li Mo, her gaze burning like a torch.

“It’s better to ask Miss Li Mo to explain first, why did you snatch someone else’s child?”

Seeming to know Xiu Qingcheng was talking about her, the baby in Xiu Qingcheng’s arms looked at her with a foolish grin and suddenly shouted loudly in babble.

“Mother!”

Although this baby looked like it was just born, its language function was remarkably powerful; it could already call people.

Seeing the baby reaching out both arms towards her calling “Mother,” Xiu Qingcheng’s eyes widened instantly.

Holy crap, she was a fine sword; before even formally becoming a human, she became a mother first!?

Meng Yingxing squeezed in front of Xiu Qingcheng with a face full of shock and terror, pointing mercilessly at the little baby in her arms.

“Considering you were just born, I won’t haggle with you!”

“But I still hope you can be cautious with your words and actions!”

“You are not allowed to call my Master ‘Mother’!”

The little baby naturally couldn’t understand what Meng Yingxing was saying with his wide eyes; he could only babble, and then threw another sentence at Xiu Qingcheng:

“Mother! Mother!”

“You’re not allowed to shout!”

“Mother!”

“Not allowed to shout!!”

“Mother!!!”

“Try shouting one more time!!!”

Meng Yingxing’s head felt twice as big; he was about to collapse.

Xiu Qingcheng stared blankly at Meng Yingxing, then at the baby in her arms.

She had thought of a thousand things, but never imagined that one day her disciple would argue with a newborn baby.

And the event of the argument was comparing whose voice was louder.

Xiu Qingcheng couldn’t help laughing out loud.

After a while, Meng Yingxing, who was finally persuaded by Xiu Qingcheng not to lower himself to a child’s level, turned his face away rebelliously.

Although the conflict hadn’t been resolved, they could at least talk properly with Li Mo now.

“Don’t mind him, Miss Li Mo. My disciple is also a child.”

Xiu Qingcheng spoke gently to Li Mo.

Holding a baby in her arms, with a three-year-old Meng following beside her, for a moment her face was filled with maternal radiance.

“I, I’m not small!”

Meng Yingxing argued.

Xiu Qingcheng naturally ignored it; her gaze remained on Li Mo.

Li Mo lowered her head, her slender fingers constantly twisting the remaining corner of her cloak.

She spent quite a while mentally preparing herself before slowly speaking to Xiu Qingcheng and Meng Yingxing.

“I… I didn’t want to either.”

“But… but I really couldn’t help it.”

Li Mo raised her head, looking at the little baby in Xiu Qingcheng’s arms, her eyes red.

Moreover, Xiu Qingcheng glimpsed a trace of unclear emotion in Li Mo’s gaze.

After another brief pause, Li Mo said something shocking.

“This child is the reincarnation of my husband! I really couldn’t control myself!”

“Wait a minute, what thing?”

Hearing this, Meng Yingxing had no time to be angry with a baby; he looked at Xiu Qingcheng, and they both saw the shock and horror in each other’s eyes.

Although they both knew Li Mo was pursuing the ethereal cycle of reincarnation to find her husband’s reincarnation.

But now hearing that this baby, who looked like he had been born not long ago and couldn’t even recognize his mother clearly, was the reincarnation of Li Mo’s husband, both Xiu Qingcheng and Meng Yingxing felt their worldview suffer a massive impact!

They found it hard to connect the aged Wang Zhuihai with this little baby crying loudly towards the morning sun!

What reincarnation cycle, it’s a lie, right!?
