3 Definitely not used to i

Chang Xiuying rubbed her rounded belly. "I don't know that I can finish two whole portions of meat. *burps* Ah, that was good."

She slowly lay down on the ground as she traced the clouds up in the sky with her delicate little hand as if she's painting them.

"Speaking of which, I still haven't seen the appearance of this body." She pondered as she closed her white eyes to sleep. She still hasn't rest after a night's hunting. When she became full, she naturally lets her guard down inside the forest and slept soundly.

Inside her body, streaks of white light appeared and slowly refined the meat Chang Xiuying just devoured. As it turned into nutrients, it flowed through a calm ocean inside her body. A silver core emerged from the ocean together with ten more cores surrounding it. The ten cores started to spin around the silver core and absorbed the streaks of light.

Her muscles grew firmer and stronger than before, the calm ocean started to tremble. After a few minutes, the ocean came back to its original calm state. However, the ocean that is broad and wide and is two meters deep were now 2.5 meters deep while the center is 4.5 meters deep. The light color of the ocean slightly darkens which the change is not yet seen.

In the bottom center of the ocean, there were three floating glows with tiny figures inside them. One's entire being is bathed with red, the other is shining with brilliant silver, and the other was shrouded by a notorious aura. Furthermore, the three didn't fall out and is dominating each other with power.

Outside her body, a transparent dome slowly formed and engulfed Chang Xiuying. It made her disappear with no trace, though, she is still in the same position and is being protected by the mysterious dome.

...

Jiang Hao stood outside the forest like a sword, his tall stature of 1.98 meters seemed like a post with his emerald eyes that is scouting the forest. His neck-length brown hair fluttered by the wind as he began to dash towards the forest. He only has one objective, to find Chang Xiuying.

He didn't notice that Chang Xiuying has been missing yesterday and noticed it just now. He already searched through the village and have the villager help him, he came home dejected without any news or trace of her.

He keeps thinking that Chang Xiuying will be alright since she's a strong-willed child. Jiang Li also joined the fray, saying that she just took her eyes off of her and she disappeared like that. She cried and Jiang Hao keeps saying that Chang Xiuying will be alright while comforting his niece. However, news came in that there is a huge massacre inside the forest. A white-eyed beast that just woken from its long slumber came to hunt for food.

The forest is the only one that he hasn't searched yet. Jiang Hao immediately departed to find the core of this ridiculous news from the villagers. His emerald eyes were full of anxiety as he listened and decided to find a trace of Chang Xiuying in the forest, dead or alive. If she's dead, at least he has to collect the remains of her. If she's alive, then that would be a great news! Maybe she is out of the territory of the white-eyed beast when the massacre happen.

Jiang Hao dashed to and fro in the forest. What he didn't know is that he already passed Chang Xiuying's position a couple of times. 5 hours of searching and he still haven't seen a trace of Chang Xiuying. He already searched every nook and cranny of the forest. He only saw the remains of a bonfire and two complete skeletons of the beasts beside it.

"This... a beast didn't know how to light a fire. A hunter can't even eat two whole beasts... this set up is clearly made by one person. What is this, really?" He shook his head as he began his search for Chang Xiuying again.

The sky is already turning dark and some place of the forest is like a void that continuously devoured the forest. Jiang Hao stopped momentarily from his search, he came back to the place with the remains of a bonfire. He flicked his finger as a small fire ignited out of it, he pointed and the fire dance to approach the bonfire.

Jiang Hao took out a dried meat then chewed it. As he eats, a white radiance emanated beside him. He took an offensive stance and warily look at the figure who is slowly getting up.

He brandished his sword and pointed it to the figure. The figure gave him a glare with its dangerous white eyes, he shuddered at the sight. But it suddenly turned into a pair of jet-black eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared from his sight.

A light step rang out behind him. Jiang Hao vigorously turned around only to see a little girl standing confusedly. He exclaimed joyously as he carried Chang Xiuying in his warm embrace. "Ying Er!"

"Uncle Jiang?" She asked with a confused tone.

"Where have you been this whole time?! I didn't see you after 7 hours of searching this forest! Never mind, I am really glad that you're alive!" Jiang Hao squeezed Chang Xiuying tenderly as he rubbed his face in her little head.

"Ying Er was searching around the martial field to find that pretty flower Big sister Jiang wanted me to pick! Big sister Jiang said that it will make Big sister Jiang and Auntie Irene happy. Ying Er happily agreed! Look, Uncle Jiang, Ying Er got two pretty flowers." Chang Xiuying shoved her little hand in her storage bag and let Jiang Hao see the 7 and 10-colored flowers.

Jiang Hao's face turned grim when he heard Chang Xiuying's innocent words. Moreover, the 10-colored flower was guarded by a 10,000-year-old Phyton with a vicious poison! Even he would not dare to go near this flower as it would only mean one thing, death. However, how did a child escape and picked this flower unscathed?

"Did you just said that Big sister Jiang made you pick these pretty flowers?" Jiang Hao asked gently but there is fury in his emerald eyes.

"Un! Ying Er already picked these. Let us return Uncle Jiang! Ying Er wanted to see Big sister Jiang and Auntie Irene with big smiles! Hurry, hurry!" Chang Xiuying shook Jiang Hao's head playfully.

Jiang Hao smiled but the bitterness in his heart grew stronger. He held Chang Xiuying's head and rested it in his broad shoulder. "Alright. You have to stay still and rest on me, okay?"

"Un." Chang Xiuying replied.

Jiang Hao put out the fire and dashed towards the direction of the village. He gritted his teeth, "Jiang Li!"

Chang Xiuying sighed in her heart. 'I am definitely not used to this kind of immature act...'

...

Irene Felstead, the woman who's dressed in white, walked back and forth in front of Jiang Hao's place restlessly. She is 1.59 meters tall, have a beautiful waist-length auburn hair, and her charming cognac eyes that can capture the village's night lights have this worried expression as she bites her nails.

"Where is that husband of mine!? This is the first time that he made me this anxious! Maybe he got hunted by the arcane beast? No, no way, he must be injured! Yes, he must be injured. He must have Xiuying now, right? Right?! Oh please!" Irene groaned and her anxiety grew some more as she stomped her feet from frustration. Her stomp created a shallow but wide depression on the ground.

"Calm down, my wife. If you continued it, my house would be reduced to ashes by tomorrow morning." A sweet and gentle voice rang out from above. The deep and concentrated color of emerald in his eyes gave an intimidating aura but at the same time, it's calming.

Irene puffed and bellowed to Jiang Hao. "Get down here this instance!"

"Eh?" Jiang Hao gave a puzzled expression before landing softly on the ground. He lightly patted Chang Xiuying's back to let her sleep some more.

"So, what happened?" Jiang Hao asked indifferently.

"You.. hmph!" Irene glared at Jiang Hao then turned away to go back in her place. She pouted while stomping away from her husband. "Dense husband!"

Jiang Hao chuckled as he saw his wife stomping away. He also smiled bitterly, knowing the fact that his wife didn't love him wholly, that's why he is refraining from loving and warm actions. He still didn't know why would she marry him and the reason behind why her heart can't seem to open to him. Jiang Hao will just wait for the day it will come naturally.

He rubbed Chang Xiuying's little back and kissed her adorable sleeping face. He started to softly walk towards his humble abode and let Chang Xiuying rest in a comfortable bed.

"When the morning comes, you have to prepare yourself, my humble niece." Jiang Hao whispered as his emerald eyes flashed with fury.
