Chapter 1676 Ba! Ba!

But first, he had to heal his body. Luckily, after reaching 10 billion jin, Dyon had been able to fully enter and exit his const.i.tution's world. It seemed like a reward he received whenever he perfected a realm.

Unfortunately, he skipped over the 1 billion jin mark so reaching the next milestone would be several times more difficult. But, this much was fine. As long as Dyon didn't rush his breakthrough, he could continue to take advantage of this.

The saint grade holy type qi Dyon excavated from the alpha wyvern's cave poured into his body. A comfortable feeling a.s.saulted him, but Dyon could feel that it wasn't helping as much as he hoped.

After reaching 1 billion jin, Dyon's body cultivation had already reached the peak celestial realm. After pus.h.i.+ng past and entering the 10 billion jin threshold, Dyon was on the verge of forming a dao body and was at the very peak of what was possible for a pseudo-dao expert. Once he broke into the Gold Silk Realm, he would do exactly that.

Unfortunately, this also meant that what was needed to heal his body had also taken a ma.s.sive leap forward.

Of course, this didn't mean saint grade holy type qi had become useless. Dyon could still feel his body rapidly healing. It was just clearly not effective as it had been in the past.

Still, Dyon didn't want to jump to conclusions. Was it really his body's improvement that was causing this? Or was it the nature of his injury?

Dyon felt that his injuries this time were very different. He couldn't even remember bleeding. In fact, he couldn't point out a body part that necessarily 'hurt'. It was as though his very being was aching. He vaguely felt that if it wasn't for his nascent soul, he really would have pushed it too far this time.

'Hm?'

Dyon opened his eyes from his meditation. He must have been focusing on healing himself for at least a few hours when he heard an odd sound. Gurgling? Maybe?

Dyon's divine sense couldn't leave the walls of the cage no matter how hard he tried, so when his eyes were closed, he was basically blind. But when he opened his eyes to confirm the same things his ears had already sensed, he couldn't help but be stunned.

'A baby?'

Right there, just outside his golden cage, an adorable baby sat, rolling around in the gra.s.s and dirtying her pink bear print pajamas.

Dyon could only describe it as the most adorable baby he had ever seen. Even if others thought he was an arrogant, narcissistic p.r.i.c.k, he felt that his own baby form, Junior, lost by far to this baby.

Her hair was still short and curled on the top of her hair as though she could be more than a few weeks old at most. It was color red-silvery color that made it look extremely similar to bronze-rose. If reflected the right way, it could look pink, brown and red all at the same time.

Her chubby cheeks smiled happily as she giggled, her large eyes twinkling. They were a mesmerizing intelligent color, s.h.i.+ning with a hazel-green color.

The baby's soft skin had a slight tan to it, but as expected of a recently born child, it was completely blemishless.

This child was truly baffling. Before Dyon realized it, he had already stared at the little girl for several minutes. In fact, the little girl had stared back, not nervous in the slightest.

"~~Hetho! Hetho!~~"

The little girl sounded as though she was trying to say h.e.l.lo. But, this only baffled Dyon more. He was sure that this little baby couldn't have been more than a few weeks, old, how did she know words? Even he took a few months before he could speak.

Still, Dyon couldn't help but smile.

"h.e.l.lo. What's your name?"

"~Thnamph?~"

Dyon was baffled once more. The little girl didn't have a name.

The little baby giggled at Dyon's confusion before she got distracted by a fluttering bee.

She tried to stand and chase it, but it seemed her body wasn't as developed as her mind was. She fell over after a single step, landing on the soft gra.s.s below her.

An adorable frustration colored her features, she pouted with annoyance, trying to stand once more.

Dyon was mesmerized by the sight, he felt that he was watching something beyond beautiful. He couldn't help but feel his heart pound.

He found himself standing at the edge of his cage, cheering on the little girl silently. He suddenly forgot about the pain in his body and the situation he was in.

Maybe a faint part of Dyon believed that this was another ploy of the Heaven's Children.

He had clearly awoken several hours ago, only to find himself in what looked more like a luxury hotel than a jail cell. And, instead of sending someone to speak and negotiate with him, they sent a baby? Or maybe the baby had just crawled here on her own. But if that was the case, then how could they be so irresponsible? Allowing an innocent child so close to someone who was a criminal in their eyes?

Dyon felt a faint anger, not toward what one might expect, but rather because those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds actually allowed such an innocent little baby so near danger.

What if he was a horrible man who decided to use her as a hostage? Even if the s.p.a.ce was locked around his cage, it wasn't as though Dyon was completely without methods. Considering he had already negated their abilities once, how could they be so neglectful?

Somehow, Dyon didn't see this anger as irrational despite his supposed evolution toward calmness. It was just that the little girl was too adorable, how could you allow something so pure come to any harm? It was unforgivable.

"~~ Ba! Ba!~~"

Before Dyon noticed, he had already watched over the little girl's play session in the garden for several hours. In the end, she was suddenly swept up by an invisible wind as though the negligent a.s.shole who left her alone for so long finally found her.
