“Oh? Tian Yue? Yes I think there is a person by that name here.
Hold on.
Let me contact her first.” After saying this he took out a transparent crystal.
Neither Feng Wu nor Tian Ke had ever seen such a thing before.
Their curiosity was piqued and they looked on with bright inquisitive eyes.
“This is an image-transmission crystal.
It uses the alignment of energy waves to facilitate communication between two parties.[notes] You can tell by the size, color and energy fluctuations of the crystal that it’s better than average.
In fact it can hold several hundred connection signatures.” Feng Wu and Tian Ke looked on with their mouths slightly agape.
They shared the same feelings about the crystal - it was mysterious and fun! They paid close attention to the old man’s hand holding the crystal.
Suddenly the crystal showed the image of a slim figure in white clothes.
magicTian Ke immediately recognized the person.
“Aunt!” There was no reply from the crystal though.
The old man spoke a few words out loud and the image of his aunt appeared to become excited.
Shortly after the image disappeared altogether.
Turning to Jier Tian Ke asked, “Brother Jier, how come we couldn’t hear anything.
“It looks like the crystal has three modes.
Private only, which only allows the owner access to the crystal’s audio and visual content.
Audio only, which allows outsiders to listen in on the audio.
Visual only, which allows the visuals to be shared.
Which mode to use depends on the owner.” It was obvious the old man had only allowed them to see the visuals but not hear the audio connection.
“Tian Yue will be out soon.
You guys can wait here.” After saying this he closed his eyes and fell asleep, completely ignoring them.
Fifteen minutes later a slender white figure ran towards them.
When this figure saw Tian Ke, she immediately went over and embraced him in a tight hug.
“Tian Ke! Why did you come to find auntie? Did something happen?” Tian Yue knew what a sensible child Tian Ke was, so he wouldn’t have come unless something big happened.
Upon entering they could see that although the furnishings weren’t particularly high class, the place was clean and had a refined yet welcoming feel.
Tian Yue invited Feng Wu and the others to have a seat.
Just then Little Bun started crying.
He rarely ever cried, only making a fuss if he was hungry or if he had to do his business.
Tian Ke turned to Feng Wu and reached out with his arms.
She promptly handed Little Bun over.
At this point it had become a conditioned reflex on his part and a habit on hers.
"Here." He took a look inside Little Bun’s diaper and after seeing some squished brown nuggets proceeded to take off the diaper, wipe clean Little Bun’s bottom, and smoothly packed him into a new diaper.
Tian Yue looked on her mouth opened in a small “o” surprised at the proficiency of the action.
Once dry and cleaned Little Bun happily stopped crying and Tian Ke handed him back to Feng Fu.
She brought him to her chest and made little bubbles with her mouth to amuse him.
He seemed to never tire of this simple game and could play at it for days.
“This child…” Tian Yue finally spoke up.
“This is Feng Wu’s baby.
He doesn’t have a name yet but we call him Little Bun.” It was obvious that Tian Ke really liked this small baby by the way he replied.
“Eh! This child is Feng Wu’s?!” Now Tian Yue was really shocked.
Although she could see that the baby resembled Feng Wu, she couldn’t see any resemblance with the red-haired boy.
The baby had dark eyes and blond hair.
Just from one glance she could tell the baby was of mixed blood.
Feng Wu looked so young and tiny, she couldn’t be the mother of this child could she? “How old will you be this year?” Maybe she’s just a very youthful girl in her twenties who just happens to be small? Tian Yue tried to find a reasonable explanation for the sight in front her.
“I’m fourteen.” Feng Wu answered.
“What?! You’re only fourteen!” Tian Yue’s voice was nearly a shout.
She isn’t some youthful looking adult.
She really is a child! coursed through Tian Yue's mind.
