“Huan Feng did not allow me to talk to anyone to avoid any trouble. You made a promise to Huan Feng that you would take care of me and send me to the Devil Kingdom. Are you going against your words now?”


The baby looked at her fixedly, with eyes full of hope. Gu Xijiu had never thought about abandoning him in the wild. She accepted his explanation and put him back in her arms again. “That depends on your behavior.”


Adorably, the baby leaned his head against her shoulder and promised, “I will behave myself.”


Gu Xijiu patted his back gently in return. “Behave yourself. I do not want any trouble from you.”


“I do not like to cause trouble,” the baby murmured.


“How old are you?”


“Two or three months old. To be honest, I do not really remember.”


“What about your mother?”


“I do not know anything about her.”


“I a.s.sume that you know nothing about your father as well?”


Concerns started to cloud Gu Xijiu’s mind. How was she going to start searching for his parents when she did not even know whom to look for? She took a careful look at the baby in her arms again. He was really a delicate boy with beautiful features, as precious as a finely carved crystal statue. On his forehead, there was a bright red mole. Also, she was definitely attracted by his huge waterish eyes.


The baby would stand out as the center of attraction no matter who carried him. He was born with the charm. She then took another look at the Silver Wolf that was following her closely. Both of the beings with her would certainly attract attention.


Gu Xijiu needed to go into the city quietly to obtain the Youth-Retaining Herb, but she could not do it so with these two. They would draw unnecessary attention. Moreover, Yun Yanli’s men were still chasing after them.


Gu Xijiu thus stopped and said, “All of us could use some make-up.”


The baby was bewildered at first, but he soon understood. Gu Xijiu’s transformation skill was brilliant as usual. In a blink of an eye, she could turn herself into a completely different looking person. He, on the other hand, went from a beautiful baby to a completely unrecognizable, hideous child.


His face was as tanned as a burned pan. In addition, there was a large red birthmark covering almost half of his face. No one would bother to pay any attention to him. The Silver Wolf did not undergo many changes but now looked like an ordinary dog with white fur. Also, its signature red eyes had now turned black.


As for Gu Xijiu, she resembled an ordinary woman, who was neither beautiful or ugly. As for her attire, she decided to put on something rather elegant and graceful.


“I heard that Huan Feng called you Ling-Er. Is that your name?”


Unhappy, the baby closed his mouth lightly in protest. “I do not wish to be called such an uncouth name. It was only a nickname that she gave to me.”


“What do you wish to be called, then?”


“I am too young to know. Will you give me a name?”


Gu Xijiu did not know what to say. She knew that giving names was certainly not her forte.


“Jun-Er?”


“No!”


“Xiao-Er?”


“Sounds stupid!”


He refused all the names that she had just proposed. At that moment, she really could not think of anything better. She looked at the baby’s nonchalant expression and was suddenly inspired. “Why don’t we name you Hao-Er?”


The baby frowned and gave serious consideration to her proposal. “Hao sounds acceptable. Hao-Er it is, then,” he emphasized on the spelling of the name.


The baby was surprisingly cultured. He was also intelligent as he knew how to spell his name as well.


“I can see that Huan Feng taught you many things,” Gu Xijiu said while looking at the baby thoughtfully.


“It is because I am smart.” The baby tried to impress her.


Someone extraordinary must have reincarnated as the baby, for his intelligence was way beyond his age. Gu Xijiu carried the baby with one arm and walked the dog with another as they entered the city.


To Gu Xijiu’s surprise, obtaining the Youth-Retaining Herb was not an easy task. She visited a few auction houses and requested for the particular herb, but all of them returned to her with the same disappointment.
