The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 547 - 546: Mom Must Come Back

She lifted the child and stared coldly at the shopkeeper, "How much for all of the buns in your shop?"

Qin Zhao was beautiful and wore luxurious clothes, clearly not an ordinary person.

The shopkeeper dared not offend her and cautiously quoted a price.

Qin Zhao paid with spirit stones, then carried all the buns and turned back to You Ran Inn.

When she returned, Chu Yan had vanished.

"How come you’re back?" Chen Wu asked.

"I found a little something, I’ll go help you collect spiritual plants later."

Qin Zhao set the child on a stool and wiped his dirty little face with a wet handkerchief.

"Where are your parents?"

The child looked up at her, nibbling on a bun, silent.

"Have they passed away?"

He tilted his head, "Daddy is still around, but I can’t find him."

"What’s your name?"

"I’m Yu Yu."

Qin Zhao ordered some roasted meat to go with the buns for the child.

"Did you get separated from your daddy?"

The child nodded while eating.

He ate very little, most of the time stealthily watching Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao thought he was shy to eat more, "Don’t just watch me, these are all yours, you can eat them."

"Thank you."

He politely expressed his gratitude.

Qin Zhao wiped his face, now able to clearly see the child’s beautiful, delicate features. His skin was tender, smooth as porcelain, like a doll.

"How long have you been separated from your dad?"

Qin Zhao looked at him and felt he did not seem like a child from an ordinary family.

Although his clothes were worn, the original fabric seemed quite good.

"Phuket Island."

The little guy cast his eyes down, not daring to look at Qin Zhao.

Daddy said he needed to appear pitiable so that mommy would take him in.

"Do these injuries on you hurt?"

"They don’t hurt."

The child grinned, his eyes sparkling brightly as he looked at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao felt he was somewhat foolish; having taken a few hits and yet not crying out in pain.

Could it be that he was too foolish, and that’s why his dad abandoned him?

"Boss, do you know this child?"

Qin Zhao turned to Chen Wu, who seemed to be enjoying the drama, thinking that having owned a shop here for many years, he would recognize the locals.

"There are often little beggars coming here for food, but I’ve never seen this little beggar."

"I’m not a little beggar, I have a daddy and mommy."

The child retorted indignantly, his tone somewhat harsh.

Only in front of Qin Zhao did he seem foolish.

"Oh? Where’s your daddy then, why hasn’t he come to pick you up?"

"Daddy will come to find me."

Once the child had finished eating, Qin Zhao applied a high-quality ointment to his wounds, an ointment given to her by Song Jian. The child’s injuries visibly healed at a remarkable rate.

Seeing him sitting obediently on the bench, Qin Zhao felt an inexplicable softness in her heart.

"Boss, look after him for a moment, I’ll go and collect some spiritual plants."

After speaking, Qin Zhao placed two high-grade spiritual stones on the table.

These two stones were enough to buy all the spiritual wine in You Ran Inn.

Chen Wu grinned as he accepted the stones, "Sure, but you’re not familiar with him, why leave him here? Are you going to help him find his father?"

"He’s still so small, he’ll suffer hunger and cold outside, and might be bullied. Since he’s not a little beggar, naturally, we should return him to his father’s side."

If Qin Zhao hadn’t met Yu Yu today but another unrelated child, she would have done the same.

She had nothing urgent at the moment, and helping a child find his father was not a difficult task.

"You really have a kind heart."

Chen Wu said wistfully,

He was completely different from Chu Yan.

Chu Yan, this guy looked refined, but actually had a terrible temper.

When he was guarding the Endless Abyss, Chen Wu had witnessed his temper. He was cold-hearted and never sympathized with others.

"I’m not a kind person; there are so many little beggars in the world, and I can’t help them all. I just happened to come across this little guy and did what I could."

Qin Zhao patted the little boy’s head and said to him, "You stay here, and I’ll come back for you later."

The little boy grasped the hem of her cloak, nervously saying, "You can’t lie to me, you must come back."

"Okay, let’s make a pinky promise."

Qin Zhao took his right hand and hooked his little finger.

"After making a pinky promise, you have to keep your word."

"Okay!"

The little guy watched Qin Zhao leave until Chen Wu knocked on his head.

"Pretending to be a child, is that fun? You’re clearly an old demon at the Nascent Soul Stage."

"I’m not an old demon! I am clearly still a baby!"

Yu Yu covered his forehead, glaring at Chen Wu discontentedly.

Chen Wu was skeptical, "You look only four or five years old, how can you possibly have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage? Unless you started cultivating in the womb, that might be possible."

"That’s exactly it!"

Chen Wu still didn’t believe him, "Let me give you a piece of advice, no matter what other intentions you have, stay away from that woman; she’s not someone you can afford to provoke."

This guy was pretending to be a child, probably plotting something against Qin Zhao.

If Chu Yan found out about this, wouldn’t he skin him?

"Stupid old man."

Yu Yu made a face at him, "I don’t need your interference."

Why should he keep away from his mom?

He wanted to stick close to his mom!

Chen Wu frowned, how come this guy’s nature seemed child-like?

But to cultivate to the Nascent Soul at four or five years old, he had to be the offspring of a god from the Immortal Realm!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Wu grabbed Yu Yu.

"Ah! Indecency! Smelly old man, what are you doing! Daddy, save me, wuu wuu wuu!"

Chen Wu inspected Yu Yu thoroughly, feeling his bones.

The next second, his eyes widened.

This child was indeed only four or five years old; his talents were astonishing!

Just as he thought this, the child was snatched from his hands.

Looking up, Chen Wu saw that distinctly cold, beautiful face.

His expression went blank, "Chu Yan, don’t tell me, you’re his father?"

"What else?"

"...."

Chu Yan looked down at the little guy in his arms, "Why did you run off to steal? Weren’t you supposed to pretend to meet her by chance and just follow her?"

Seeing the little guy get punished also made him unhappy.

"That way mom would buy me delicious food, mom is the kindest."

"Don’t do this kind of thing next time."

Chu Yan put the little guy down and looked at Chen Wu, "Help me look after my son."

After saying that, he disappeared again.

"Hey! I haven’t agreed yet!"

Chen Wu was a bit speechless.

These two had issues, right?

Did they think he was a babysitter?

He was once a War God of the Immortal Realm, dignity mattered to him, okay!

"Uncle." The little boy looked at him with longing eyes, his mouth pouting, "I want to eat barbeque."

Chen Wu: "..."

Remembering that Chu Yan had made barbeque for him back in the Endless Abyss, he’d give this kid a serving!

Chen Wu’s barbeque skills were learned from Chu Yan back then.

So when Qin Zhao tasted it later, the flavor was deeply familiar; even the marinade for the meat used the same formula.
