A few weeks passed by.
Xiao Ying finally returned from hunting demonic beasts. He is the son of Xiao Lie, the elder of the Xiao Clan, the most esteemed clan in Floating Cloud City.
He arrived at the front gate, did not waste any more time, and went toward his house inside the clan. He was very eager to see his wife. She was pregnant with their first child. He wanted to know if everything was okay or not while he was gone.
He also wanted to cook a delicious and healthy meal with the meat of the demonic beast he had hunted for her today.
"Yue'er, I am back!"
Xiao Ying didn't go to see his father first. He chose to come to his house to see his wife. And when he arrived, it was not his wife that he saw but a kid with yellow hair and blue eyes.
He was playing with a little fox that he had never seen before. He was on guard immediately when he heard him.
'10th stage of the Elemental Profound Realm! Such a young kid, but already this strong!'
Xiao Ying was shocked, but he managed to compose himself quickly.
Even though the 10th stage of the Elemental Profound Realm was powerful for ordinary people, to him, who was in the 10th stage of the True Profound Realm, he was not a threat at all. And his wife was a little bit weaker than him, so the kid shouldn't be able to do anything to her.
When he arrived at this conclusion, he then asked him.
"Hey, who are you, kid, and why are you here in my house?"
The boy looked up at him. He was confused at first, but then he remembered. He pulled out his identity badge and introduced himself to him.
"My name is Xuan Na'er!"
This was the name that Xiao Yue gave him to use in the clan. Uzumaki Naruto was too long and hard to pronounce correctly for them.
Xuan came from Xuanwu, which meant whirlpool or maelstrom. As for Na'er, it came from his name, Naruto.
"Xuan Na'er, I never heard of this name, and I never saw you before in the clan. Look at the badge. It is completely new. Are you someone who was just accepted into the clan?"
Naruto nodded his head and told him everything.
"Oh my goodness, my wife is really virtuous. I am touched!"
Xiao Ying laughed happily. She must want to take care of Naruto because he was cute and she was going to be a mother soon.
"Well, if she wants to take you in, I have no problem with that. Na'er, come here and help me with this demonic beast casket. I will cook some food for my wife and you."
Naruto looked at the demonic beast's casket. He had seen many dangerous animals inside the forest of death. But nothing could compare to the demonic beast he saw right now.
"What should I do with it?"
"You just need to move it to the kitchen. You know where it is, right?"
Naruto nodded, and then he moved the big body of the demonic beast with ease. Xiao Ying looked at him with a smile.
'Not only is his cultivation good, but his body is really strong as well. Unfortunately, he is too young to practice any battle technique.'
Xiao Ying started to be interested in Naruto. But before anything, He needed to cook for his wife and Naruto first.
…
Xiao Yue heard that her husband had returned from hunting duty. She immediately went back home from Xiao Lie's house.
Xiao Lie shook his head and thought that his son was too much. Shouldn't he have come to him first.
"Kid, these days. Sigh."
Xiao Lie wasn't strict like the other elders. He let his son and his daughter-in-law live a carefree life. He also understood that Xiao Ying must be very worried about his pregnant wife.
"I will let it go this one time."
This was the millionth time he said that. He went back to work again and waited for his son to come and report to him.
"Come to think of it, Na'er is really special. Should I send him to the New Moon Profound Palace to receive proper training?"
Xiao Lie pondered as he continued with his work.
"Let's have Xiao Ying and Xiao Yue be the ones to decide. They are going to be his guardians in the clan after all."
