Just after their barging, Xiao Yunhai immediately set up a divine sound barrier formation with the click of his fingers.
The next conversation was something to be kept as top secret and he could not afford to spill the beans openly and cause trouble for the young Xiao Ming and Bai Qing.
Within a short period, a few curious demonic beasts arrived but they were choked to death by Xiao Yunhai's strong aura.
Bai Qing sensed that Xiao Yunhai had already retracted his aura while he was with him but the little amount that he released was enough to restrain the entire demonic beasts in the Demon Raiding Mountain.
Turning back to Bai Qing, a faintly kind and tender expression emerged on Xiao Yunhai's usually expressionless face.
He then slowly handed Xiao Ming to Bai Qing for the latter to carry.
Although Xiao Ming was asleep, he shook slightly from the feeling of a stranger touching him.
After some time however, he became steady again and even gulped lightly in his sleep.
A glint of surprise and guilt flashed quickly through Xiao Yunhai's eyes. His companion did not seem to feel anything as he was still immersed in his admiration for the cute child.
"He is your son, isn't it?" Bai Qing asked in all smiles as he relished in staring at the calmly asleep Xiao Ming.
Xiao Yunhai responded with a silent acknowledgement and a hint of emotion on his face.
He was helplessly sad about this parting decision and he was not sure if he could come off it later in the future.
Although he had his regrets, he believed it was all for the better since in that way, he could protect Xiao Ming.
He trusted that Xiao Ming would still be alive and might even return to seek revenge on behalf of them. However those emotions faded away and in their place was a cold, serious gaze that the Disaster Demon was known for.
"Junior Brother Bai, I can see how pleased you are… however can you willingly take care of this little kid now?" Xiao Yunhai said with slight worry in his tone after a wild battle of thoughts.
"I love this child and even naturally I'm more than willing to even steal him from you... But just that as the clan leader, I sense you are someone whose cultivation is likely above the Immortal Essence stage and naturally possess an unrivalled might.
Although, it is highly ironical for your child to follow your steps with the meagre resources we have in the clan. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I believe I'll need a promise from you in exchange for the wellbeing of this child" Bai Qing responded solemnly.
His head was buzzing in thoughts as he wondered what possible favour he might obtain from this powerful existence.
"What do you need my blessed promise on? I assure you that you will get it as long as it is within my grasp of strength" Xiao Yunhai responded coolly as though he was unbothered with whatever promise Bai Qing had.
What could he, a divinity not possibly do for a 'mortal' like Bai Qing?
"My humble request is that... you'll help prosper and protect the weak Bai clan" Bai Qing replied unhurriedly after taking an opportunity-cost.
"Consider it done….. Take this" Xiao Yunhai responded lazily after willing a few hundred spatial rings to appear before Bai Qing.
Bai Qing observed carefully and realized a sea of resources, he was scared that everything before him was only a dream.
The sight was eerie as Bai Qing looked like his eyeballs were going to drop out of shock. He was about to say his thanks but Xiao Yunhai cut him off with another bombshell.
"No-no-no! Don't thank me since from now on we have created a thick karmic link. You will have to fulfil your aspect of the deal and then we can equally give our thanks...
Considering your protection, I'll see to the safety of the clan for at least half a millennia from once little Ming begins to cultivate" Xiao Yunhai said indifferently while maintaining his divine temperament around Bai Qing.
To Xiao Yunhai a divinity, five hundred years was just akin to five years.
It was nothing much especially with the fact that his core sense had lingered around the vicinity once and so he could always be aware of its happenings even when he returned to Sheng Yun.
This was one of the extra abilities of a divinity, the power of multi-location.
"Junior Brother Bai, we call it an even deal now….Lest I forget, Ming'er is not authorized to attempt cultivation for now due to some disorderliness in his physique.
Possibly in ten years' time, he should attempt cultivation by then. I have sealed his memories and he is not to know of me or our encounter until he is at least the Xiantian realm." Xiao Yunhai reminded with a serious expression as it concerned the great secrets of his family.
"Senior, What are your reasons for doing this? As one who is already a divinity, how could your child follow up by practicing late cultivation?".
"Hmm...It would be better he never knew…" Xiao Yunhai muttered inwardly to himself.
He felt like his heart was being pierced by a million arrows due to his departure from his son.
His son could only face the terror of the cultivation world or choose to remain a short-lived mortal.
However, that was to be left to the fate of Xiao Ming.
On seeing Xiao Yunhai's back that seemed to be getting more distant, Bai Qing braved up to ask something disrespectful.
"Senior! Please what cultivation level have you attained up in the sky? Junior brother apologizes for his rudeness" Bai Qing hollered swiftly at the drifting silhouette of Xiao Yunhai who was covered in a divine golden halo.
After Xiao Yunhai was out of sight, his indifferent voice was transmitted to Bai Qing's mind and to the surroundings.
"A level you might never attain… close to the godhood" his proud voice took a confused Bai Qing by surprise.
After a few minutes of thoughtful silence, Bai Qing looked up in time to see a 'shooting star' ascend through the clouds.
He knew that this divinity had returned to his realm and that he just treated their encounter as a chanced visit.
Although, he seemed polite to Bai Qing, Bai Qing could sense that someone like him was not an easy-going person.
He was extremely brutal and cruel in murdering the demonic beasts that gave Moon Drifting Town terror all-year. To him, it was no different from crushing a few ants.
It was naturally so for even the entirety of the Wu Shui Empire which even he could tell was naked in the eyes of Xiao Yunhai.
"Above the Immortals? My goodness he is a divinity" Bai Qing muttered with shock after relaying on the last words from Xiao Yunhai.
It was only now he felt the psychological dread of Xiao Yunhai. He was a True Divinity, one he could only look up to, and yet he had been chatting so relaxedly with him.
"Haha! Our Bai clan's prayers have been answered from Heaven. I am heading to Father right away to break the news" Bai Qing said with a solemn expression.
He dared not to linger around with the innate dread still purging his heart.
Bearing Xiao Ming on his arms, he applied slight pressure on his legs and raced away with a flash.
