Fan Daiyu was still screaming until she saw her mother already in front of her. She quickly composed herself and acted innocent. Her big wide eyes became teary and she reached out for her mother.

"Baby, why are you so noisy today?

Mommy is tired."

Fan Daiyu almost spat out blood in outrage.

[You have a daughter now. What's up with your terrible parenting?!

FEED ME! IM HUNGRY!]

"Mama!"

She frowned and pointed to her stomach.

Her angry expression melted Nuwa Yenay's heart.

She fed Daiyu and changed her. They spent some time in harmony going outside and looking at the garden.

Before waking up Fan Ying, they both planned to scare him to death for being a terrible father.

Nuwa Yenay wanted to punish him for being so irresponsible and lazy.

"Little Jade, I'm going to scare your daddy all you have to do is act as if you're in pain okay."

Daiyu nodded and they both hugged and smiled cruelly behind each other's backs.

Fan Daiyu started to tremble and curled up in pain.

[Her acting is too good. How did she learn all this?

Where did she see it?]

Uncertainty filled her eyes but it seemed that all the impossible was possible with her daughter so she just ignored it.

She quickly made her clothes disheveled and made a mess out of her hair. She looked as if she had been through something horrible. She ran to her husband and hugged her daughter tightly.

"YING! YING! WAKE UP!"

She sobbed and screamed.

Upon hearing such an aggrieved voice, Fan Ying immediately stood up and saw his wife looking terrible.

His daughter had been screaming earlier on and it was horrible but if something happened to her and those screams were from pain he would never forgive himself for not standing up, for not hurrying to her side, for not being a good father.

He reached his wife and saw their small bundle of love curled up in so much pain. She was softly sobbing just like when she had her first nightmare. He panicked and almost broke down.

He was about to run and get a physician when his wife burst out in laughter.

[My wife has finally gone crazy. The heavens are punishing me.]

His heart dropped and he went to hug his wife.

But.

She didn't seem crazy.

She told him what they had planned and he was furious nonetheless how could he stay angry at such beautiful pair of mother and daughter.

"Little treasure you can stop acting now."

However, she didn't respond.

Nuwa Yenay shook her a bit and still no response.

She began to truly start panicking.

Something was wrong, terribly wrong.

They ran and got ready to head to Lilian's home in a panic.

The couple were already outside when they saw a tiny hand point out to the plaza. She was giggling.

She tricked them into going out.

[What a smart child!]

Fan Daiyu just wanted them to stop wasting time. She needed to learn and discover everything that was new to her. She wanted to grow and start walking and thinking for herself already.

The couple conceded to their teary baby and headed to the plaza.

Everything was different.

There were no skyscrapers or TV's or anything electronic.

The plaza was an open space where people gathered and events went on. It was chaotic but much calmer than the places in her past life. On one stage, people were fighting one another with strange techniques. There was a strange looking fruit on a table and the paper near it read: PRIZE!

There were food stands everywhere and strange clothes everywhere.

She began to notice that her parents and everyone else wore ancient like clothing.

Robes.

They weren't as bulky as the robes she had seen in a museum that she had sneaked into once but instead were silky and flowy. Women were mostly elegant. There was one dark area in which she had seen some very curvy and revealing women. It seemed normal to her but her mother covered her view when she noticed her looking that way.

"Yu'er you are not allowed to be like those women. They are a bad influence."

Fan Daiyu nodded and looked elsewhere. It seemed to be a very conservative world.

[That's good.]

She looked around and a young man caught her eye. He was under a tree sitting cross-legged.

He had his eyes closed and seemed concentrated.

She pointed towards him and looked at her father questioningly.

Fan Ying looked at the direction of her small finger and saw a man cultivating in an isolated area.

"He is cultivating."

Seeing his daughter looking at him expectantly, he felt his heart pierced by her cuteness.

"When one is old enough, one can start cultivating. Cultivation is like getting energy available in the world to make it into your own. You get power and can make skills with it. All you have to do is discover yourself by sitting like that and then discovering the energies that are compatible with you."

Fan Daiyu nodded and her eyebrows scrunched up as she remembered that the worm had said something about skills.

[What kind of skills can you make? I wonder if there is one where you can cook without effort.

Well it doesn't matter I'll work through this life and become the best daughter for my parents.]

She wiggled in her mother's embrace. She wanted to practice how to walk and learn more about this new world she was in.

However, Nuwa Yenay couldn't understand her.

"Are you tired?"

Daiyu shook her head and pointed to the ground.

"Baby walk!"

Fan Ying was surprised at the turn of events. Both of them gaped in shock at what their daughter wanted.

"It's true when they say that children grow too fast"

Fan Ying almost burst into tears.

"I still remember when she was having nightmares and I sang her to sleep"

Nuwa Yenay was crying at that point.

[Of course you do that was a few days ago!]

"Don't worry darling its part of life. She still has a long time before she leaves us. I won't let her escape before due time."

Hearing his husbands words Nuwa Yenay seemed to be comforted while Daiyu just stared at their shamelessness in disgust.

They put her down on the ground but stood her up by the arms and started walking her. She was unsteady on her feet and almost fell multiple times. Nevertheless, she wouldn't give up so easily.

[I am a grown woman. If I can't walk, it would be the most shaming part of my life.]

She took small steps and stumbled about.

As she walked, she gained attention. People started noticing the good looking family in shock.

"Isn't that the general with his wife? I heard they had a child a few days ago. That must be her."

"How beautiful! Their little girl was just born and she's already trying to walk. How adorable!"

"WAIT! LOOK AT HER EYES! You can already tell she's going to be a beauty!"

People began approaching them out of curiosity. Upon closer inspection they all fell head over heels for the baby. Some even outright proposed an engagement between their children.

Those people were glared at by an overprotective father leading his adorable child by her arms.

[How dare they!? My daughter is NOT up for sale. She deserves more than just any Hilly Billy!

No man deserves her. She is a rare jewel the only one of its kind. She only needs me her FATHER!]

He glared at those ignorant people and protected his daughter from their view.

Oblivious to her surroundings, the cause of everything, Fan Daiyu was putting all her effort in walking. Although she knew she couldn't accomplish it in one day she wanted to at least strengthen her legs.

{Use your skills}

Something within her resonated over and over again.

[But…How do I use them?]

{Grasp the light}

She concentrated towards that voice that seemed familiar yet unknown. It led her towards the mysterious golden pouch within her. When she appeared within it, everything changed.

Everything was bright.

She turned and saw two lights floating about and a white bundle curled up in a corner.

It was that hateful worm.

She kicked the sleeping animal and screeched at it.

"GET UP! Why are you living inside me?!

Get out. Ugly worm!"

After being awoken in such a ferocious way, the tiny heavenly figure was in a rage.

"I'm a noble beast unlike you. You-you BARBARIAN!"

"Hmph. As if I would believe such an ugly worm was noble."

"I'm a mix of the heavenly pure dragon and the highest demonic snake.

My kind doesn't exist I am your greatest accomplishment so you should be showering me with praise you lowly being."

He looked at her in contempt and laughed as if he had won.

But did he?

"HAHA. Then why is it that you are with me. Such a big bluff for a tiny worm. Even if that's true, aren't you just a mutt?"

His eyes widened and trembled.

At that, he lowered his head and began crying. She couldn't understand what was going on.

[WTF! Why is he crying? HE STARTED IT! HE WAS MEAN SINCE WE MET! WHY AM I THE BULLY NOW!]

She felt confused yet guilty so she hugged him and kissed his head gently.

He was shaking.

"I'm sorry."

He cried and apologized.

"I know it was my fault. Don't abandon me I was mean but I didn't mean it."

His tiny claws grabbed onto her and she felt pity. It was like seeing herself.

"I won't abandon you."
