The skies broke open surreptitiously, a maiden of beautiful flowing knee length hair cries, and screams.
"Keep going, push, push!" The undaunted scholar who just happened to be passing by late on this day in auspicious rain.
"Waaah waaah" the newborn belts in instance distress. Captivated, the scholar inquires, "where are you from" the lady dead silent for a moment, a silence that despite the flooding rain seemed to extend for hundreds of li.
"The precipice town of the kingdom of Aglea" the handsome scholar gentle and inept smiles and gentle smile.
Their eyes seem to pierce each other as though the bear the fate of heaven together. Yet these two strangers can't seem to tell why they feel this conviction. The lady ponders "do I know this man"
But she is suddenly interrupted buy the man who shocks her to her innate soul "I heard there was a princess in the land of aglea who flead 3 years ago, tho I don't remember where I heard it. I do remember them says that her beauty was unparalleled"
The look on the face of this new mother was as though he had seen a ghost. Is hallowing he daunting beauty makes then intense face unnerving and yet captivating. She gobsmacked, though the scholar interjects again "but that's just a rumor, and what basis do wild rumors have."
The lady still under the toll of child birth faints. The scholar, taken aback, reals "whoa, whoa don't die yet I can bear to have that on my conscience" the baby, still less than an hour old, is sleeping in a basket on a seat nearby.
Out of options the scholar willingly takes the lady to stay at his residence in the reclusive magi estate. This estate can't be found as it is hidden under countless mechanisms, arrays formations, mathematical locks, and after all of that can only be reached via express gate which is watched by the magi primordial overseer owl.
A divine soul breast with unfathomable wisdom and knowledge and an unknown life span. His time before founding the magi is unknown but he is well over five thousand years old and has been researching and exploring for likely far longer.
The magi who was top of his class easily makes it back to the estate, but not before being sounded for 20 minutes by his professor the jade platinum feathered owl Hoobert.
The moment he steps foot into the city he is immediately spotted and surrounded by over 70 baby crazed magi. "Aaaaah he's so cute!" "I could just eat him up!" "Is he yours!!!" That was the last straw… the 5 minutes of baby spotting was over. Like an idol trying to escape a flash mob, Hui who was known for his evasive tactics due to his living situation).
Easy escapes without a trace, eventually making it so his door where he is greeted by his schoolmate who helped him for many years and whom he helped countless times before. The one who taught him the basics of evasion and lucid movement, Wei(玮). immediately understands what's going on and before the young scholar can react the baby is already inside his house along with Wei and Xiao Yun (小云） her soul beast who never leaves her. A white jade celestial whale of the red moon frost jade species. A nearly extinct species of which only one is publicly known (another one).
"Do you have baby food" "ehh why would I have baby food, what do you think I do in my free time!" "Steal babies and their unconscious mothers" defeated and with a look of despair the disheartened scholar fell silent. "This baby's innate soul it's so strange." "I know I was wondering that too, do you think it's because of the rain" "ehh why would it be because of that… Although it does seem like it has had some sort of effect. We can send him to the lab for testing later." "do you think they are saying here!? "Also you can't just-"
The lady who was half awake from the violent group assault earlier was now and had been listening in to their conversation. Finally moved, having been agitated by their imposing intentions. "Here drink this" Wei handed the mysterious lady crystal water tea made with pristine silver star soul leaves a unique soul leaf cultivated in the magi labs and beveloped by the agricultural department for 1,000 years. The leaves are always cultivated with the droppings of the Great Hoobert so the not only nurture the soul but are good for hair and skin. It makes them very popular among magi who though scholarly and calculating in nature are quite vain.
"Whaaaaaaaaa" the scholar beat red tries to utter a retort but he can only manage a small You ca*~ before his voice cracks and his voice cracks and he is interrupted by Wei who leaps towards the lady, her eyes emphatic and gorgeous.
The lady only realizes now that she is less than a foot from her face. "Are you really staying?" the lady, now also red, nods cutely. "We're going to have lots of fun!!!" Wei conjectures as though the arrangement was set in stone. "I don't have enough space for 3 people!!!" The scholar finally erupts.
"You can sleep on the couch" Wei spouts bluntly what a glare that could cut soul stone. Wei who's not very good at this relents defeated do you have any furniture or daily items" the lady who only carries a small purse shakes her head dejectedly.
"Well we'll have to get them." Wei immediately hoists her away on Xiao Yun before the scholar could even get out a sentence there, but he has Wei's number so he decides not to worry, opting instead to focus his attention on the baby that this stranger left at his house. Completely unprepared though skilled, having never taken care of a baby before, he immediately sets off to find the person he thinks would be most suited for this kind of job. Only to realize half way that he forgot the baby.
Bright red and stumbling sprinting the whole way Hui manages to make it back this time with the baby in tow he sets off to learn to be a fill in dad. It's only then that he realizes that his card is gone. "Xiao Wei!!!!!" He yells at the sky. The baby laughs as the scholar, now defeated and robbed, he sets off.
For the residence of Honger(红玉) the professor who teased him daily when he was a kid. Despite this Hui knows when it comes to this kind of work he does hold a candle to her.
