Legend Of Xiao Ye - Chapter 1 Mortal

“Bring him here.” Said a pale beauty awoken by a playful banter. “Xue’er the boy hasn’t cried once even with Madame Lu’s instructions.” Said a tall, handsome middle age man who’s eyebrows crease in worry.

Looking at him from first glance he’s clearly in a catatonic state, now worried. Mo Xue examines him farther by placing her palm on his chest. Moments later she breath with relief “healthy.” she mouth, continuing her check.

Tremor of disappointment washed over quickly replaced by undulating fear and worry. Seeing how pain stricken his wife became, He also place his palm on the newborns chest and began circulating his vital qi. “how is this possible?” He ask in utter disbelief. Him and his wife both happen to be upper realm martial artist.

Giving birth to a mortal is quite unusual when considering their status.

After a quick ponder he stood with a stern look. “He’s our son!” He said grinning from ear to ear, “He will be powerful amongst the inferiors, no king, wait emperor if he so desires to be, someday the boy will inherit my position.”He said enthusiastically.

Mo Xue couldn’t help laugh and admire the man she fell in love with. “Chun’er you must jest the elders will never have it,” she said with a noticeable frown. “Absence of father has shaken their faith,” He said whilst gritting his teeth. “He’ll definitely return, how unlike him to miss his grandchild’s birth.” she said hoping to sooth his mood.

Unbeknownst to the both of them deep within those ocean blue eyes laid confusion and intelligence far beyond that of a newborn. “a-ga..da-ga..” Sound of babbling coming from their child brought a smile to Mo Xue and Xiao Chun. “See? the boy agrees!” Xiao Chun couldn’t be happier with his trademark grin. Mo Xue humph following a titter, “We cannot call him boy forever.” Removing a her pendant, twirling it around her newborns hand, “this was my mother’s pendant, now it belongs to you, Ye’er.”

Xiao Chun outburst with indignation, “I’m his father shouldn’t I name the boy!?” Mo Xue gave a harumph that startled Xiao Chun. Red in face he didn’t dare retort although Xiao Chun is the current acting patriarch of the Xiao family and first in line for the position, and yet the people he could never afford to offend namely Mo Xue and his father Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian being the patriarch of the Xiao family, but many knew him by another name Bloody Monarch. Although the Xiao family are relevantly new in Star Moon City, much-less the residents, the city lord wouldn’t dare show the slightest disrespect towards the Xiao Family.

Xiao Ye currently oblivious to the futile protest of his newly father. After some time he closed his eyes and thought to himself. “I’m alive!”

Xiao Ye smiling as he went through a checklist; Sight, hearing, smell and touch. Bursting into laughter on the verge of tears. “i..can feel my toes!”

Breaking the tense atmosphere a baby’s laugh echoes drawing both parents attention leaving them bewildered. “Xue’er do newborns laugh?” Xiao Chun asked slack-jawed, also stunned Mo Xue blinking uncontrollably, “he is our son after all.”she said proudly.

“Whaaaaa!!” Panic stricken Mo Xue rocked him back and forth “There there, I’m right here…” she whispered. “Maybe he’s hungry.” Xiao Chun added while glancingly at her noticeably large chest, but sadly he only incited her anger.

Sound of babbles and laughter resounded throughout the Xiao family nursery.

Xiao Ye finally calm down, now recalling his current predicament. “I’ve been reborn. judging from how my current parents are dressed could this be ancient China?” Furrowing his eyebrows deep in thought.

I’m alive he thought, should it matter where or when, he disregard while playing with his toes.

Xiao Ye was an orphan abandoned by both his parents in his past life. Losing all sensation in both legs when he was a young he often found life struggling he turned to many drugs for comfort; Later on in life he chose one drug of choice. It brought him no shame he prized himself being the worlds number one pothead.

The sound of a persons foot steps disrupt his train of thought looking over to the sounds direction he sees a middle age lady, she wasn’t a beauty in any sense but she gave off a warm aura. Confused by this he tried feeling for the auras close by only to feel warmth and comfort. “Maybe this is a newborns natural instinct.” he summarized in his heart.

Forcefully brought out of thought by the sound of more steps echoing within the nursery. Looking at the new arrivals made Xiao Ye breakout into goosebumps; Malice, jealousy so much hate and anger he felt from the two newly arrivals. Xiao Chun charismatically gave his greetings.
