Chapter 984: Starting to Question Life

“Master, is this really a good name?” asked Ning Shu. This wasn’t just him courting death, he was having a child that didn’t know anything court death with him.

Xuan Hongyu’s expression turned cold. He was very dissatisfied with Ning Shu’s reaction. “It doesn’t sound good? If Xuan Miexiao doesn’t sound good, then let’s just call him Xuan Tuxiao.”

Ning Shu: Pfff...

Even if you hate Xuan Xiaotian, you can’t be like this.

Ning Shu felt that Xuan Hongyu was doing this on purpose.

“As long as you’re happy, Master.” Ning Shu grimaced.

When Xuan Hongyu said that he wanted to raise this child, the way he did it was by reciting some difficult to understand knowledge at the child. The child just curled up into a ball and slept. He paid no attention to Xuan Hongyu at all.

Towards this, all Ning Shu could say was, as long as you’re happy.

Xuan Hongyu clearly had no experience taking care of a child, so all of these responsibilities fell to Ning Shu. Ning Shu had to feed the child every day, give him baths, have the child try walking on two feet. While speaking, she’d make all her mouth movements more exaggerated in order to try to stop the child from continuing to howl like a wolf. Even now, when the child cried, he still sounded like a whimpering wolf.

Meanwhile, all Xuan Hongyu was responsible for was giving the child cultural nurturing. He spent all day talking at the child about things that even Ning Shu couldn’t understand.

It was very annoying to take care of a child. It made Ning Shu very vexed, especially since the child would only crawl around like a wolf. When she pulled him to stand on his legs, he’d feel very uncomfortable and would even bite her.

When he had to relieve himself, he wouldn’t make any sounds and would just poop wherever he currently was, so he always ended up covered in poop.

Ning Shu hadn’t known that it was this hard to raise a child. It was both mentally and physically exhausting. Speaking to him was a pointless exercise since he couldn’t understand anything.

Ning Shu repeatedly chanted the heart-clearing chant. When she recalled that it was partially her fault that this child became like this, she suppressed the vexation she felt.

After a while of feeding him, the child gradually became more familiar with Ning Shu and started approaching her more. However, he still didn’t know how to speak. When Ning Shu occasionally held his hands, he would be able to take a couple steps on his feet but it wasn’t that much.

There wasn’t much food left in the cave anymore. Ning Shu planned to head out to get some supplies and while at it, ask around about the current situation.

Ning Shu said to Xuan Hongyu, “Master, this subordinate is going to go buy some food. Please look after Xuan... Miexiao.”

Xuan Hongyu nodded indifferently. “Go, this prince can look after him.”

Ning Shu didn’t trust Xuan Hongyu to be able to look after a child at all.

“Master.” Ning Shu looked towards Xuan Hongyu. Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu, then spoke like he was conferring a favor, “Alright, come back soon.”

Ning Shu: →_→

“Master, this subordinate doesn’t have money,” said Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu again, then headed to his stone room to get a few ingots of silver. “Come back soon.”

Ning Shu took the silver. As expected, he had money. But this was one of Xuan Hongyu’s bases after all.

“Bring some cooked dishes back with you,” said Xuan Hongyu.

Xuan Hongyu wasn’t someone that cared much about good food, but he was probably starting to question life after eating only the things Ning Shu cooked for this long.

Ning Shu took the silver and left. She first bought all the necessities, then started asking around about the capital.

The news she got stunned her a little. Xuan Hongyu had been pronounced dead. When the fire broke out in Changle Palace, Xuan Xiaotian hastily took advantage of this chance to announce that Xuan Hongyu had died in the fire. ‘Xuan Hongyu’ had even been buried.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows. With this, Xuan Xiaotian had directly cut off all of Xuan Hongyu’s roads of retreat. Xuan Hongyu couldn’t return to his fiefdom anymore since ‘Xuan Hongyu’ was dead. If he returned to his fiefdom, he might be arrested for posing as someone of the imperial family. This was a severe crime.

Xuan Hongyu was seriously good at courting death. He lost his own woman through his own efforts and also lost his honorable status. In the future, he wouldn’t even be able to openly say his own name.
