Chapter 149: Yun Baobao

When you wake up dazed again, a soft breathing sound comes from beside your ear.

You glance sideways.

Not even half a foot away, a girl sleeps peacefully.

You have never seen her in your memory.

Her aura is very strong, far beyond any human race member, including you, who is far inferior to her.

She must be a shapeshifted being of another race.

You are very curious why she would sleep beside you.

But you do not feel afraid because of her; she gives you a comfortable feeling, like a spring breeze.

Just sitting beside her makes your mood become pleasant.

You just quietly watch her.

"Human race, how much longer will you keep looking at me?"

Just then, she suddenly spoke.

She still had her eyes closed, only her lips moving slightly; you felt a bit embarrassed, realizing the girl had not been asleep at all.

The girl's words also revealed her identity; she is not of the human race.

You asked, "Who are you?"

She sat up, her innocent eyes looking at you, "I am Yun!"

"Yun?"

You wondered about that word.

She laughed, "You can understand me as an incarnation of a spirit monster; stones can shapeshift, trees can shapeshift, all things upon reaching a certain level of evolution can freely shapeshift."

"As for me, I am a cloud that has taken human form."

"According to human race customs, you are very rude, suddenly intruding into my home."

"But I forgive you."

She seemed happy, chatting with you freely.

You were surprised and asked, "Do you always live here?"

"Yes!"

She thought for a moment, trying to recall, "Before your human race arrived, I already lived here."

"Back then, this mulberry tree was still small."

"Now it has grown into a towering tree, but its growth is far less interesting than that of your human race."

You were shocked, "So this place has always been your territory?"

The girl nodded, "Yes!"

You suddenly understood.

No wonder the human race living in these mountains and rivers rarely suffers attacks from powerful cultivators or other strong races.

It turns out they received the girl's protection.

Putting it that way, the human race is indeed fortunate.

"Thank you for protecting the human race."

You bowed to express your sincere gratitude.

"Besides the survival instinct of weak animals, I dislike deliberate mutual slaughter between races; this is what I like to do, so you need not thank me."

The girl smiled faintly, "Moreover, I like to be friends with the human race."

You felt she was very simple.

Perhaps her strength makes simplicity enough for her, or perhaps in her eyes the human race is just an infant in swaddling clothes.

Thus she shows sufficient friendliness.

You asked, "How should I address you?"

She said, "Now that I have taken human form, by your human race's way of calculating age, I should still be very young."

"You can call me..."

"Yun Baobao?"

You looked astonished.

Turns out she is really that young?

In the knowledge imparted to you by the Human Ancestor, the strongest beings in heaven and earth, aside from the Nine Ancient God Clans, are some special spirit monsters.

They have no clans, and are even unique existences in heaven and earth.

They are innately strong and long-lived; even the Ancient God Clan would not lightly provoke them.

Having such a being willing to protect the human race is a fortune for the human race.

"Yun Baobao."

Calling her name, you felt a bit awkward inside.

But as she said, according to human race age calculation, she is just a baby, so calling her that is a sign of respect.

"I know your name! You are Chuan!"

Yun Baobao's disposition is truly like a cute, well-behaved little child, simple and naive.

She said, "Chuan, can you take me down to play? I also want to be a human race member; I like the human race, and this is my first time taking human form."

You nodded and agreed, "Sure! The human race welcomes you."

Thus you brought her to the tribe.

Now the tribe has grown large, with many members; adding one unfamiliar girl has no effect.

The most affected is Lin Chuan's main consciousness.

The moment he saw Yun Baobao, he recognized her.

Isn't this my constantly wronged childhood sweetheart Xiao Qingmei?

Xiao Qingmei's manner of appearance truly made him feel surprised.

【You personally cooked a table of dishes, letting Yun Baobao taste them.】

【"Really delicious."】

【Such food, to her, might be no different from coarse grain, but her eyes were shining, that's the expression of satisfied curiosity.】

【She looked at you, earnestly saying: "Will you cook for me to eat every day from now on?"】

【You were stunned, how could someone make such an unreasonable request?】

【You told her, "Only very intimate two people can do this."】

【She countered: "Aren't we intimate enough?"】

【You were puzzled.】

【Can a first meeting be called intimate?】

【Perhaps Yun Baobao's brain circuits are different from yours.】

【You had no choice but to explain in more detail: "In the Human Race, only between parents and children, or between spouses, can one be this intimate."】

【Now the Human Race's development has reached a scale, long past that most barbaric era.】

【The Human Race's civilization has already taken initial shape.】

【Her brows slightly furrowed, her little mouth pouted, she thought hard.】

【After a long while, she suddenly realized, excitedly saying: "Then why don't we just become husband and wife?"】

【You stood there dazed.】

【In your mind appeared the figure of another woman.】

【In that era without formal marriage ceremonies, you and Sangyu pledged your lives to each other through your actions.】

【In your eyes, Sangyu is your wife.】

【You said: "I already have a wife."】

【Yun Baobao didn't mind at all, directly asking: "It's fine to marry another one!"】

【You were speechless.】

【Yun Baobao said seriously: "The Clan Elder of your Human Race before, wasn't his name Hong?"】

【"He married many."】

【"Before moving away from the tribe, he had already married three hundred; now he might have married three thousand."】

【You were laughing and crying, unable to refute.】

【I never expected Yun Baobao would use that guy Hong as an example.】

【The four departing Clan Elders—Sui, Chi, Hong, and Xi Zhong—the most flirtatious was Hong, who even created the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method.】

【"Will you marry me or not?"】

【Yun Baobao pressed further.】

【You explained with determination: "For two people to become husband and wife, they need to be devoted to each other, make a marriage vow, share life and death in the future, support each other, and never betray."】

【"This is a very troublesome matter, do you understand?"】

【You said a lot, hoping to scare her off.】

【But she only said three words…】
