Chapter 1297: Let The Hunt Begin!
A few days ago when Ye Qian had met Huang's mother, he could feel that she wasn't completely well and had some discomfort.
And since the chubby little girl was his daughter's friend and he also had a simple Spiritual Energy artifact from all the pieces he made that day, Ye Qian thought that it won't hurt to gift it to the little girl.
The hairpin that Ye Qian had given to Huang wasn't a protective artifact and thus it was kept with him since he had made others for the sake of his little daughters' protection.
Initially, it was made from the first few scrapes of the metals since he wasn't able to completely mould it with the help of the phoenix flame that Feifei was emitting while helping him make the ornaments.
But since it still had a simple formation that could attract spiritual energy from around, he thought that it would be good for the little girl's health as well.
Though he thought of selling it if someday he was in dire need of money, since he wasn't and he also had already gotten a job, Ye Qian thought that it won't do any good if he were to just keep it with himself.
"Bye Uncle Ye, bye Jia."
The little girl waved her chubby hand at them as she walked out with her mother towards their moped.
"Papa, are Qiqi and Xiao Ya in the old age home?"
After waving at her friend, the little girl in his arms asked.
"Hmm."
Ye Qian nodded while he slowly made his way on the street, but after a moment of looking around, he asked.
"Jia..."
"Huh?" the little girl looked at him with confusion while she was petting her little friend.
"Did you feel like someone was looking at you?"
Although he had doubts if the little girl might have developed any spiritual sense, but since she had a special body, he was curious.
"Umm, Papa, I did feel that someone was around me today?"
"Did you feel the same before that?"
Ye Qian asked another.
"Umm hmm," the little girl shook her head.
Pursing his lips, Ye Qian thought of something and then suddenly halted his steps.
The next moment, his eyes opened wide as she looked at his daughter with astonishment.
"Jia...."
"Hmm?"
The little girl turned to her Papa only to find that he was looking at her with a blank look as if shocked, seeing him like this, the little girl couldn't help but giggle.
"Hehe, Papa, don't keep your mouth open for so long, what if a fly gets in?"
However, Ye Qian was just too astounded to have noticed her words.
It was because just a moment ago, he had curiously looked into the little girl's cultivation.
And much to his shock, his daughter already stood in the middle stages of Chi Gathering.
His little daughter, who hadn't even started cultivating was already at a level which would take people at least a year, and that was only possible if they were in the lesser heavens.
'And they used to call me a monster.'
Ye Qian smiled wryly, recalling how long it had taken for him to reach the Chi Gathering stage.
One had to know that it had taken him more than 20 years just to reach the Chi gathering when he was in the Lesser Heavens.
Of course, he didn't have any help from anyone and could only try by himself and learn from others who would be willing to share a few insights with him.
Although Little Jia's necklace and earrings also had energy-gathering formations in them, they weren't so powerful that they would propel someone to that level in just a week.
Ye Qian was well aware of this since it was he who had made them by his very hands.
Although he could inscribe much more powerful formations to attract Spiritual energy from around, he didn't know well that it would strain the small bodies of the little girls and rather than making them feel energetic, it would make them sluggish and tired.
It was like having energy-rich food.
If one consumed it in a proper amount, it would give one instant energy, but if one were to eat a lot then their body would be forced to digest the food and divert most of the energy into processing the food.
Seeing her Papa staring at her with a blank look, Little Jia waved her hand before his eyes, a bit worried.
"Papa, are you okay?"
"Yes yes."
Ye Qian nodded, eliciting a sigh of relief from the little girl.
"Haah, I was so worried."
"But Papa, why are we going from this street?"
After taking a look around, the little girl asked.
This wasn't the usual route they would take while going back home or to the old age home.
In fact, the route they would generally take while going back home would be somewhat busy, but the one they were going through seemed too quiet with not even a single individual around.
"Jia, what if I tell you that we are on a hunt today?"
"Huh, hunt, like the lions and tigers do?" the little girl asked in confusion.
"Hmm."
"Huh, but whom are we going to hunt?"
The little girl thought that he was talking about some game, but little did she know that the hunt was indeed on.
And the prey that her father was going to hunt was not too far away from them.
"There is someone who wants to take you away from me, what should I do to them, Jia?"
"Ahhh, Papa, I don't want to go away from you."
The little girl panicked and tightly gripped her arms around his arms before she looked around anxiously.
"Don't worry sweetheart, no one can take you away from me."
"Papa, if they are good people, then leave them after a beating," the little girl said, seeing the flash of red in her Papa's eyes.
"How can someone who wanted to take my child away from me be any good?"
Ye Qian muttered, his face laced with a gentle smile for his daughter who was still trying to plead for leaving the people alive.
"Hmm."
The little girl nodded and held her head low, not saying anything more.
