Chapter 1167: 18.5 First Grey Star - Fainted
He extended his little hands, which were just a few inches longer and thicker than the adorable newborn girl's. Mo Xuejing is staring at him with innocent, ebony eyes.
Ye Xiajie said, "Sir, I'm sorry for my little sister's rudeness. Please pass her on to me. I can take care of her."
The two adults inside the Presidential Suite, Mo Xuejing and Guang were stunned by the little boy's intelligence. Mo Xuejing disliked skinship with other people and despised children who wailed loudly, but the two cubs before him had a different opinion. As if he couldn't despise the two regardless of what they did.
When Mo Xuejing noticed a pair of innocent eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but pamper the child.
Mo Xuejing gently rubs the little boy's soft hair and says, "Uncle doesn't mind. Your sister is light and doesn't weigh much. Go ahead and take a nap. I will look for your parents. Do you know your parents' name?"
Ye Xiajie reread the original's recollections and discovered that he had no mother. There don't appear to be any ladies in this universe. Males on this planet can give birth, although it is uncommon. Only guys who ate pregnancy fruit can have children, and most men do not.
"Xiao Jing doesn't know who dad is, but we have a father. He cooks a lot of delicious food for us and brings us here so we can gather enough money to cure Xiaxia," Ye Jingxia said.
When Mo Xuejing and Guang learned of the young baby's sickness, he was abruptly cut off. When Ye Xiajie noticed the handsome uncle's terrifying expression, he closed his mouth.
Mo Xuejing said, "Guang, check the little one. Also, check this little boy if he has any illness as well."
Guang nodded and promptly went to check on the two cubs. He initially examined the sleeping newborn girl in his boss's grasp and saw that she was born with a distinct body. It's a lethal physique that would kill a child instantaneously if she wasn't given medication to inhibit it. The Physique of Ice and Frost. It is a distinct physique that enables the awakening of the capacity to handle ice.
When triggered, it has a formidable physique, but when sealed, it is lethal.
Unawakened Ice Frost Physique makes its victim feel cold all throughout. It would begin to freeze the host's body from the heart, spreading throughout the entire body and transforming it into a living ice statue. This inborn cold can only be controlled if it is awakened, or if a fire-related meal is consumed.
However, the majority of fire attribute materials can only be discovered in prohibited territories engulfed in flames and lava. It's an uncommon culinary ingredient with at least three stars.
Guang was taken aback when he spotted the newborn girl's remarkable body. He then checked the baby boy and discovered that the two of them had the same physique. This finding caused him to frown uncontrollably.
Mo Xuejing noticed his family doctor's changes in expression and felt things weren't in a good state, "Say it. What is wrong with these children?"
"Both were born with Ice Frost Physique. The little boy is already as he has compatibility with it and can suppress it on its own. The little girl is different, her elemental compatibility is fire but her physique suppresses her inborn talent. That's why she suffers from the backlash of frost. She needs to eat Fiery Grapes or Lava apples once every three months to suppress the cold.
I can't believe how this little girl has survived this long. There are traces of fire in her body that keep her heart beating but this elemental discharge would fade as time passes. It isn't a cure. To cure them, they both need the Legend Class 3-star ingredient, Hellish Strawberry." Guang explained an ugly expression on his face.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for these two children. Furthermore, they appear to be abandoned by their father, who is simply a chef. How risky are regions with Legend Class ingredients? Even for his master, the Hellish Strawberry is difficult to acquire, and it has a unique criterion to be picked fresh. Only individuals with a high fire compatibility can pick those fruits.
His boss also possesses the Ice elemental skill, thus he may pluck it even if he cannot get to the location where Hellish Strawberry grows.
Mo Xuejing mumbles, "Hellish Strawberry."
"What are you sirs talking about?" Ye Jingxia asked. The confusion on his chubby face was evident, and he could even feel the fear in the boy's eyes.
Guang immediately changed the topic and smiled at Ye Jingxia, this cuddly little boy, "By the way, Cub. What is your father's name again?"
"My father's name is Ye..."
BAM!
As the door to the presidential apartment was forced open, Ye Jingxia's voice was cut short. Ye Jieye's face was utterly chilly and pallid. His right hand has some blood on it, while blood is still dripping from his injured left hand. As soon as he sees Mo Xuejing and Guang holding his children, he glares at them.
Ye Jieye shouted, "How dare you take away my children!?"
Guang examined the tracks of the unconscious guard who had followed this freshly arrived individual. Guang couldn't tell if the overwhelming aroma of blood came from this individual or others resting on the ground behind him. This individual knocked out all of the guards outside the room.
Mo Xuejing said, "I didn't do it."
"M-Mister... You need to calm down. We didn't kidnap your children. They got lost and ended up in my boss's room." Guang tried to explain the situation as clearly as possible to Ye Jieye, who appeared out of nowhere.
The fragrance of blood assailed Mo Xuejing Guang's nostrils as Ye Jieye stood before them in a flash. His unexpected entrance surprised them. Ye Jingxia joyfully clutched his father's arm. He happened to be standing on his left and grasped his father's left arm. His hands attempted to surround his father's arm, but they couldn't, and a pair of hands slipped down.
The hand that would hold him up is nowhere to be found.
"Father, you're here... Eh?"
Ye Jingxia was shocked and terrified as he gazed at his two bloodied hands. He glanced up and realized his father's left arm from his shoulder down to his hand was missing. Everything below the wrist has gone missing.
"Wuwu... Smells fishy. Father, where is your left hand?" Ye Jingxia asked with his hands soaked in his father's blood. When he saw the crimson item in his palm, which was hot and sticky, the tears that had just dried up in his eyes began to pour again. He could tell it was blood.
"Papa... Blood! You're injured! Wuwuwu~"
Wailing could be heard throughout the room once more. Mo Xuejing felt terrible witnessing Ye Jingxia's tears in his eyes out like this, and he didn't know what to do. Hearing his elder brother's loud cries, Hei Anxia, who was sleeping quietly, awoke and began weeping when she saw her brother wailing.
Even Ye Jieye didn't know what to do; his children seldom wept in actuality, and if they did, Jing'er was always there to soothe them.
Mo Xuejing has no choice but to bite the bullet and trust his instincts. He clutched the two babies while singing and carrying Ye Jingxia in his grip. What he didn't realize was that Ye Jieye was staring at him in surprise because the tone of his humming sounded just like the sound of the guqin he typically plays as a lullaby to his Jing'er.
Stunned, Ye Jieye looked at Mo Xuejing in disbelief, "You! Are you..." His vision swirled and went dark before he could finish his sentence. He eventually passed out due to a lack of blood. He passed out on the couch next to them, startling everyone in the room.
Ye Xiajie calls in shock, "Father!?"
"Guang, treat him immediately. Check his blood type and call someone to bring it into this room. Also, reattached his left hand I gave you before." Mo Xuejing said.
Guang wasted little time in transporting Ye Jieye to the bedroom, where there was a bed for a patient to lie down. He wanted to transport this man to a clinic where he could have his hand reattached, but because the boss had ordered it, he could only ask personnel to bring the required instruments to this Suite and begin the procedure.
Mo Xuejing had to assist in carrying the patient to the bed since he was fairly heavy.
The two cubs stopped sobbing when Guang was treating Ye Jieye because they realized the bad uncle from before was a doctor. They're now covered in blood on the couch. Hei Anxia had fallen asleep again after crying himself to tears.
Ye Jingxia asked politely, "Sir, is Father going to be alright?"
"Don't worry. Guang is a doctor and also has a unique healing ability. He will definitely help your father treat his hands. Actually, I..." Mo Xuejing hesitated when he wanted to mention that his father's injury was caused by him, especially seeing the boy's innocent gaze.
Sigh!
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry..." Mo Xuejing whispered in an extremely low voice as he hugged Ye Jingxia. On the other hand, Ye Jingxia was confused as to why this beautiful uncle was asking for his forgiveness.
Only System Yue, who was silently safeguarding them in his invisible form, could answer Ye Jingxia's question. System Yang, on the other hand, went to the next room to keep an eye on their Lord God, who was being treated by Guang.
'Why is this uncle apologizing, Uncle Yue?' The young master asked through his thoughts.
System Yue replied, [Well, it was actually not his fault. He was only following through on the plot. Lord Ye's identity this time is just cannon fodder. According to the script of the world, it was this man who cut off your father's hand. He can only apologize to you this way. He seems to like you and the little princess a lot so he is feeling guilty.]
'What should I do then? Pretend it does not understand anything. Would uncle not leave if I do that?' Ye Jingxia asked.
System Yue hesitated, [Xiao Jing, uncle doesn't know. Maybe if you ask this person would listen to you as he likes you quite a lot.]
'Okay, I will do that,' Ye Xiajie said. 'By the way, where is Uncle Yun and Uncle Lou? Do you know their identities?'
System Yue responded. He had checked the coordinates of these two wardens through the sub-systems in their possession. Their identities aren't as closely related to the main plot as expected.
[Warden Yun Ming's vessel is related to that man hugging you. His name is Leica. He is an information broker and mostly works with Mo Xuejing when looking for information about food ingredients he might be interested in.]
[As for Warden Lou, he is unexpectedly the elder brother of the protagonist Gong, Lu Shang. The Lu Family is somehow connected to your father's identity as well. But this wasn't mentioned in the world plot as the plot only focuses on the life of Lu Ming and Ji Yoonjun.]
'Then who is uncle?'
[He is Mo Xuejing. The hidden boss of this world. He is the strongest Gourmet Hunter and one of the most powerful beings in this world.]
'Uncle Yue, is he dad? Why do I feel that he is my dad? Unlike Momo I can't see through someone's soul but the feeling Uncle gives me when he hugs me is quite similar to dad's warmth.'
System Yue said, [That... I don't have the ability to know if a person is Lord Hei or not. Maybe let's ask your father if he also thinks he is your Dad's incarnation.]
Ye Jingxia bursts out laughing. His energy as a youngster is one-quarter that of an adult. He was exhausted after a few bouts of weeping. Mo Xuejing saw his eyelids clamping open and closing.
Mo Xuejing whispered, "Sleepy? Go ahead and sleep."
