Chapter 5 - Wǔ

-Gu Yuena's POV

Amazement and disbelief

Those words truly encapsulates what I am currently feeling. I have ran a diagnostic on this little boy's soul and although he does have a trace of divinity, it is not at the level of a God.

Hmm... what an interesting child, could he be the so called 'son of heaven' then? Well there is only one way of finding out, although I don't believe in the idiotic idea of fate and destiny, my subject fortunately does, maybe it was a good idea to bring her after all.

"Qiu'er, What do you think of this boy?" I asked, while calling her over, as she was about to carry out my previous command.

"Hmm… I think he is a little cute, no?" The annoying pest fawned, as she loomed over, crouched down and poked my dog-to-be's cheeks.

"You! quibbling fool! I meant what do you think about his fate, destiny or whatever." Annoyance rising as my subject's antics has once again wasted my precious time.

"Mhm…strange.. it looks like there are two people living inside his body, fortunately they have almost merge so there shouldn't be a duality in his personality after a week or so." She mulled as her eyes stared blankly at the dog's fetal position.

"Interesting, so are you implying that he is being possessed?"

"Well that's the strange thing, although he does have the same symptoms as a possession, there is no damage to any of his soul. To be honest he looks more like a reincarnation."

"But that's impossible I have already ran a diagnostic on his soul… unless… do you think he comes from a different realm?"

"Mmm.. I can't really put my finger on it… but I want to say that he is from a different reality altogether."

"Well, enough of that useless blabbering, if it is only reincarnation then it is fine. What I want to know is, what does his destiny look like?" Although my subject might be dim-witted in day to day basis, nevertheless when it comes to these useless sophistries, her diagnostics are impeccable. But once again, this boy has given me another surprise today.

"Bright and blindingly so. Huhuhu it even eclipses your own" My subject finishes with a distasteful grin. Though I wish she takes things seriously more often.

Moving on, with a potential of this level, I have again reaffirm in keeping this boy by my side, more than ever. While the hazard of consciousness of the reincarnated is there. I am confident that I can destroy it while it's forming once the boy turns 6.

Although, I don't trust the gods. I do trust the laws of the world and as stated before, the goddess of good has encoded that children under the age of 6 cannot be affected by worldly affairs and fortunately reincarnation is included in said affairs. Truly the heavens are are shining down on my beast clan, a year or so more and I would've missed this chance completely.

Now, unto the boy, although I can try to make him my dog, but with his monstrous talent he would realised his greatness sooner or later and it would be ashamed to kill this gift that the heavens have given me. Indeed a subtle approach would be the best.

Hmm... what type of relationship should I pursue to make this happen. Fortunately, he is an orphan, which would make him for inviting to the idea of being a family. So what role would give me the greatest advantage? A mother maybe? Yes a mother figure would be ideal wouldn't it, but don't humans tend to rebel against their parents during the teenage phase?

"My! For our majesty to lovingly caress a boy, should we prepare a ceremony to crown a king soon I wonder? Huhuhu"

"You! twaddling loon! Get lost!"

"Hmm… So I guess it is true, but don't you think he is still a little young for you your majesty? Maybe you should give him to me as a reward."

"Scram!"

"By your will, your majesty"

Irate! How dare she gives me cheek. Haah, although I wish to refute that hateful cat claim. I have to agree that a mate would bring more advantage, because unlike a mother or a sister, a wife would be able to get intimate with him. Therefore I would be able to control and influence him more than the former options.

Yes, I shall groom this child to be my mate… The heavens truly aren't blind to gift me with my wish. Let's see, although his fat makes him look cute right now, we really should get rid of it before he turns 6.

Before I could inspect him further, I notice his eyelids began to flutter. Amazement once again hit me as it had not been long before he got attacked mentally. Truly this boy has so many surprises.

"Oh wow… Are you a Fairy???"

Oh my! A born flattered as well. Such a cute child, I shall truly take my time and enjoy grooming you into someone who is worthy of I. Well then, how should I earn his affection? For now let's just project a sweet and lovable child.

"No! Silly I'm a girl!"

"Wow, you are the prettiest girl I have ever seen, do you want to be friends?"

"Yes we can be friends, I am Gu Yuena, but you can call me Nana"

"Ah, My name is Ma Hongjun, but you can call me Jun"

"Hihihi, Ah Jun, like ah handsome?"

"Yeah, Haha. Hey Nana wanna play a game?"

"Ok, I want to play house, You can be the daddy and I can be the Mommy ok?"

"Sure! I love playing that too! Ok, the game starts now!"

Indeed, the game is truly afoot, unfortunately for you Jun, this game's winner has already been determined from the start.

"Ok, I want to play house, You can be the daddy and I can be the Mommy ok?"

Oh my naive little survival ticket, to unknowingly throw yourself into a monster's mouth. But don't worry, I shall treat you nicely.

"Sure! I love playing that too! Ok, the game starts now!"

Quite so, the game truly starts now, But I'm sorry to say that the game's winner has already been determined from the start. Sorry "Nana" hahahaha

-Wang Qiu's POV

I stood there, mouth agape, trying my best to hold back a cringe, as I observe what seems to be a contest to see who can make the other more uncomfortable and right now they are both winning.

Their exaggerated expressions, the change in their pitch and overall bad acting suggests that they are playing just around, but why do I get the feeling that they are quite serious?

Oh well, It seems that her majesty is having fun, so I'll let it be. Nevertheless, Jun huh? Such an interesting boy, to have a brighter destiny than half of the Dragon God, I truly wonder how he will change the course of this world.
