I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

They all thought they were doomed, but when they turned their heads and saw Bai Qingyu raising his hand, they realized that they had encountered an immortal.

Instead of kneeling down to express his gratitude, he stared blankly at her. Having lived in a small village, he had never seen such a stunning beauty before, and before he knew it, he was completely mesmerized.

"Hmm?" Shuten noticed that the man's eyes were not right and immediately blocked Bai Qingyu's way, looking fierce and menacing, almost saying, "What are you looking at?"

Meanwhile, a little girl was also watching Bai Qingyu from a corner.

Please vote for me, I'm begging you!

Volume 1: Chapter 93 The Bird Demon Kidnaps the Child!

The villagers stared blankly at Bai Qingyu for a moment, but it was only when Shuten stepped forward and looked fierce that they came to their senses. They quickly clasped their hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady. I am Xu Xianzhi from Lianyun Village."

Bai Qingyu hadn't given much thought to saving someone on a whim; it was just a simple act of helping someone and would earn him less merit. He was about to leave when he heard the name and stopped in his tracks.

Looking over with her beautiful eyes, Bai Qingyu frowned and asked, "What did you just say your name was?"

"Ah, my name is Xu Xianzhi."

The villager was not old, looking only about twenty years old. He was dressed like an ordinary village lad. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was certainly not ugly either. He was the kind of person who was pleasing to the eye. It was mainly his demeanor that made him look like a refined scholar if you replaced the bamboo basket behind him with a book box.

As Bai Qingyu looked him up and down, the young villager named Xu Xianzhi even showed a slightly shy expression. He lowered his head and looked down, but then, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head again and boldly met Bai Qingyu's gaze, even revealing a smile.

"I do not know the name of my benefactor."

She's looking at me, she keeps looking at me, maybe she has feelings for me. This is a very common psychological phenomenon, mostly seen in some relatively confident and narcissistic men, such as Xu Xianzhi.

As soon as she regained her confidence, Bai Qingyu turned and walked into the valley, not wanting to say another word.

She had only glanced at the young man because of his name.

Xu Xian's Story, Xu Xian.

It stirred up some memories in my mind, and I couldn't help but think of the lazy white snake in my house. If Xiao Bai were to find a green snake as her younger sister, then she would have to be careful of anyone with the surname Xu, especially someone named Xu Xian.

"Shuten-dōji, let's go."

"Understood, Aunt." Shuten crossed his arms, glared fiercely at the scholar, and turned to follow Bai Qingyu.

Behind him, Xu Xianzhi looked left and right, and then gritted his teeth and followed.

After all, it was a life-saving favor; how could I not find out who my benefactor was?

The valley wasn't large, but the scenery was quite nice. Bai Qingyu thought of the valley where she used to live; it was quite similar to this one, only this place was a bit smaller. Looking up, she saw an old peach tree and carefully sensed the spiritual energy emanating from it; there were indeed some demonic energy fluctuations.

Shuten-dōji said it was a peach blossom that had become a spirit, which Bai Qingyu found very strange.

Even if it truly absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to transform, it should be the entire tree that transforms, not just a single flower.

After witnessing the encounters with Shuten-dōji and Ara, Bai Qingyu no longer dared to claim that she understood demons well. Therefore, she refrained from offering any opinion on this situation and decided to meet this peach blossom demon sister first.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, are you there!"

Shuten stood in the valley and shouted loudly. Before he could finish shouting twice, Bai Qingyu heard a weak child's voice.

"Brother Shuten-dōji, I'm here."

The peach blossom fairy's cute little head peeked out from behind the peach tree, her two little hands gripping the trunk, her big eyes filled with fear and worry.

This child is somewhat timid and shy; she is afraid of everyone except Shuten-dōji.

Shuten scratched the back of his head and looked at Bai Qingyu, as if asking Bai Qingyu what he should say. Should he say, "I brought your mother here, so come out quickly"?

Bai Qingyu nodded in agreement, and Shuten mustered his courage, "Xiaotao, didn't you want to find your mother? I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, the peach blossom demon's eyes widened, and her childish voice, like a fledgling bird's first cry, exclaimed, "Really, Brother Shuten-dōji?"

"Of course, come out quickly."

Hearing what Shuten said, Momo finally dared to come out from behind the peach tree. Just as Shuten had said, she was a little girl of four or five years old. Her dress looked like it was made of flower petals and was quite cute. Because she was still a little shy, she held the hem of her dress with her two little hands, gently bit her lip, and lowered her head, not daring to look Bai Qingyu in the eye.

Upon hearing the name "Peach Blossom Fairy," Bai Qingyu knew this little girl wouldn't be ugly. Seeing her in person today, especially her shy demeanor, Bai Qingyu felt her heart melt. How could there be such an adorable child!

Bai Qingyu has seen many children, from four or five years old to seven or eight years old, but in her heart, the title of the most adorable child has always belonged to Dong Qing. However, she feels that this title may have to be given to the little girl in front of her today.

Trying to walk towards the peach blossom fairy, Bai Qingyu arrived in front of the little girl and half-squatted down, "Are you looking for your mother?"

Bai Qingyu felt that the Peach Blossom Fairy was so cute that she was completely captivated, while the Peach Blossom Fairy herself was also stunned.

The peach blossom fairy's first reaction was to peek at Bai Qingyu from behind the peach tree.

'What a beautiful older sister!'

Beauty is not defined by humans. Peach Blossom had only been in human form for a few months. Because of her special circumstances, her intelligence awakened too late after transformation, so her understanding of this world was practically nonexistent; she only knew some very basic things. In this valley, she hadn't seen anyone else besides Shuten-dōji, yet she still felt that Bai Qingyu was truly beautiful.

"Hmm..." The peach blossom fairy nodded gently.

Faced with this situation, Bai Qingyu chose to speak directly and proactively, "You must be lonely here. How about I be your mother in the future?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy is just a child of a few years old; she looks that age, but her mental age is about the same.

It's impossible for her to find her mother.

If you really want to say that her mother is actually the peach tree behind her, the problem is that the peach tree has lost its spirit. All the spirit is in the peach blossom demon. Now the tree is just an ordinary peach tree, nothing more.

To absorb the essence of heaven and earth again and gain spirituality would take hundreds of years, and the probability of success is extremely small.

Bai Qingyu's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, so kind and amiable.

If we're talking about the sinister smile of child traffickers, this is the one on her face right now.

The smiles I used to tease Shuten and the others were just wicked grins. But if I really wanted to kidnap a child, a smile that was too scary wouldn't do. I had to be gentle and kind, like a warm-hearted older sister who could make people drop their guard at first glance.

Just like the smile he showed to the Peach Blossom Fairy at this moment, the Peach Blossom Fairy was initially wary, but after seeing this smile, coupled with Bai Qingyu's open-armed embrace, the little girl hesitated and took the initiative to hug Bai Qingyu.

"Mother..."

Bai Qingyu held the peach blossom fairy in his arms, patted her back, and said gently, "Good girl, good girl."

The process is that simple.

A heartwarming smile and a hug, and a kid was successfully tricked.

Bai Qingyu kissed the peach blossom fairy's forehead, picked her up, and then gave Shuten a look.

His eyes seemed to say, "This kid is pretty good, I'm very satisfied."

Shuten witnessed the whole thing from behind. The demon was completely dumbfounded. He thought he would have to go up and cooperate with Bai Qingyu's performance, coaxing and deceiving the peach blossom demon to go home. He didn't expect Bai Qingyu to solve it so quickly.

Not only did they manage to win over the Peach Blossom Fairy, but judging from her reassured expression, she had already accepted Bai Qingyu as her mother!

Despite the Peach Blossom Fairy constantly asking him to take her to find her mother, Shuten-dōji knew perfectly well that the child was quite clever. Just because he brought a female demon along doesn't mean she was his mother. He wasn't stupid; he could tell the difference. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Bai Qingyu to help.

All I can say is that the son is happy with his mother, and the mother is happy with her son.

"Come home with Mommy, and Mommy will cook you something delicious."

"Yes, thank you, Mother!" the Peach Blossom Fairy called out in her childish voice.

Behind them, the scholar named Xu Xianzhi had just caught up when he heard the two conversations. When he saw Bai Qingyu holding a child and chatting and laughing, he immediately froze, as if he heard the sound of his heart breaking.

He was about to repay the kindness when he realized that his benefactor already had a daughter...

"When we get home, Mommy will make you a beautiful dress!"

They didn't make the peach blossom fairy call her "aunt," since she was looking for her mother. Making her call her "aunt" would make the little girl feel like she'd been tricked.

Bai Qingyu was overjoyed on her way home after bringing home a new baby.

This fishing village is a treasure for her; she has raised four children here.

She was very satisfied with all four of her children.

Even though Shuten-dōji was a bit of a hothead with a rubbery face, Bai Qingyu still felt that this kid was pretty good.

Once they were out of the mountains, Bai Qingyu put the peach blossom fairy down and took her little hand as they walked home.

Is life in the mountains boring?

"Hmm, it's so boring. Brother Shuten-dōji hasn't come yet," the Peach Blossom Fairy said softly.

Bai Qingyu found it amazing that he could speak so soon after transforming into human form. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious, and the same goes for demons. He was a demon listed in the demon register, yet it had taken him a full month to learn to speak.

"Then you won't have to worry anymore. You won't be bored when you get home, because your brother Shuten-dōji goes there every day, because your brother Shuten-dōji is also Mother's child."

"Wow, really, Mommy?"

"Of course it's true."

"Will Brother Shuten get scolded by Mother at home?" Peach Blossom Fairy asked, her happy smile melting hearts as she held Bai Qingyu's little hand.

"That depends on whether he has done anything bad. If he has, Mother will spank him."

This was the first time Bai Qingyu had encountered a peach blossom demon like this. They chatted as they walked down the mountain and gradually became familiar with each other.

That's enough. We can get to know the rest later. First, we need to build up the child's basic trust in us. There's no other way; after all, he's an abducted child. Feelings have to be cultivated slowly. Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, so Bai Qingyu isn't in a hurry.

Shuten followed behind, with the two holding hands in front of him. The scene was so harmonious and heartwarming. When it came to the fact that he had been spanked, Shuten didn't want to go up and make any excuses.

He was still happy to see this. The Peach Blossom Fairy was too lonely. Other fairies at least had companions, but she didn't have a single one. Every time he went to the valley, he would see her sitting on a tree branch, lost in thought. Also, without Bai Qingyu, the child was very likely to be deceived by others.

If it were an older demon, that would be one thing, and Shuten-dōji wouldn't bother to say anything, but the Peach Blossom Demon has only been born for a few months.

By the time I got home, it was already dusk.

"Aunt." Huang, who was sitting on the branch of the old tree in the courtyard, noticed the figures of Bai Qingyu and the other two.

He quickly jumped down from the tree, and as soon as Bai Qingyu entered the room, he saw the cute little girl that Bai Qingyu was holding hands with.

The whole family was in the courtyard, and Zhen, Zhentian, and Xiaodie's attention was immediately drawn to the peach blossom fairy. It turns out that everyone finds it hard to resist cute things.

The peach blossom fairy was shy and, suddenly being stared at by so many people, she quickly hid behind Bai Qingyu and whispered, "Mother, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, they are all your older sisters and brothers," Bai Qingyu comforted the peach blossom fairy, without forcibly pulling her out.

Don't force a child to be shy; they'll gradually get used to it.

With a knowing look from Bai Qingyu, everyone understood her meaning and stopped staring at the little girl. Bai Qingyu picked up the peach blossom fairy and carried her into her room, placing her on the bed and whispering secrets to her.

He basically comforted her, telling her not to be afraid, that this would be her home from now on, and briefly introduced her to the family members. With Bai Qingyu's reassurance, the peach blossom fairy gradually calmed down.

While she was comforting the peach blossom demon, dinner had already been prepared by Zhen Tian. The peach blossom demon ate dinner sitting in Bai Qingyu's lap. Of all the children Bai Qingyu had raised, she was the first to receive such treatment. Even Dong Qing and Chang Sheng had to eat by themselves when they were her age.

At the dinner table, everyone tried their best to keep their expressions amiable, and even Zhen, the girl with no money, no job, and no connections, managed to smile.

This went on until nightfall. After giving the peach blossom fairy a bath, Bai Qingyu put her on his bed and coaxed her to sleep.
