“Baobao, how did you know?” Di Minghan got up and picked up Baobao, placing her on his lap, and asked curiously.
“I saw you sneak a peek at Mom!” Baobao said.
When they had just walked in, she had called out for her mother and saw her father sneaking a glance at her before closing his eyes again.
“Hehehe, you mischievous little ghost!” Di Minghan chuckled and patted Baobao on the head.
“Master, are you alright now?” Guardian An asked with a hint of astonishment.
How dangerous his master’s condition had been, he knew all too well – how could he have fully recovered so quickly?
Even Guardian Feng and Guardian Hua couldn’t believe their eyes as they looked at their master.
Guardian An had returned to tell them that their master had used his heart blood, scaring them into putting everything down and coming over right away.
They never would have imagined their master would be all right already.
Di Minghan could sense his body’s astonishingly smooth recovery at the news, and as he examined himself more closely, his face paled slightly.
He knew his body better than anyone.
Initially, he had thought that Mo Jiuli had just used some medicinal materials to alleviate his injury.
But now, not only had his injuries fully healed, but even the wounds he had sustained from his battle with Black Evil had disappeared.
It could be said that his body on this continent had reached its peak condition.
How could this be possible?
Suddenly, Di Minghan recalled the faint taste of blood he had tasted before.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at Baobao in his arms and asked, “Baobao, do you know what your mother used to save me?”
Baobao blinked, “I don’t know!”
She definitely wouldn’t tell her father that he had just eaten her mother’s flesh and blood.
If she did, her mother would surely be angry.
“You really don’t know?” Di Minghan knew by looking at her that this little girl must know, but she was unwilling to tell him.
“Yeah, I really don’t know!” Baobao feigned ignorance.
“Oh really?
Do you think if you don’t tell me, I wouldn’t know that there was blood, and also…
in the thing, your mother made me eat?” Di Minghan intentionally paused before he continued.
Baobao stared at her father with wide-eyed innocence, trying her best to maintain a cute and clueless expression.
However, Di Minghan’s words still made her heart race.
Could it be that her father had discovered that it was her mother’s flesh?
Despite being a genius at four years old, it was still difficult for her to completely hide her feelings.
Seeing Baobao’s expression, Di Minghan’s heart sank.
Even though he didn’t know exactly what it was, he was certain that whatever he had consumed was no ordinary thing.
What on earth could it be?
His constitution was such that if he lost his heart blood, there was no complete cure.
What exactly had that girl given him to eat?
Di Minghan lowered his head, carefully recalling the taste of what Mo Jiuli had put in his mouth, bit by bit.
He could taste the blood, the spiritual fruit, and something that seemed like the taste of flesh, though not like the flesh of a spiritual beast.
Could it be?
Di Minghan’s pupils shrank suddenly.
“It was her flesh and blood she gave me!” Di Minghan stared at Baobao, asking in a tone of certainty despite his phrasing it as a question.
Baobao’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting her father to know the truth.
“Hehe, I don’t know, I need to find Mom!” Sensing the danger in her father’s eyes, Baobao immediately wanted to make a break for it.
“Wait, I’ll take you to her later.
For now, just be good and tell me what happened, alright?
Otherwise, I’ll tell your mother that it was you who told me,” Di Minghan threatened, holding onto Baobao as she tried to wriggle away from him.
