Chapter 62: The Little Princess’s Powerful Presence

Hurry up and grow up!

Once I’m one year old, I’ll be able to talk.

Inside the hall, Concubine De and Princess Changping were praying and making wishes.

Taoist Master Baiyun stood outside, holding Ah Bao.

There weren’t too many people around, and those who were, kept their distance.

Shangguan Ze had also gone to stroll around the courtyard.

“Little Princess.” Taoist Master Baiyun’s voice was full of fatherly joy.

Ah Bao was chewing on a teething stick she had taken from her cloth pouch, her bright eyes gazing at Taoist Master Baiyun’s celestial appearance.

Wuwu.

Old Bai didn’t recognize her.

He called her “Little Princess” instead of “Master.”

They had clearly met before in the spatial artifact.

Ah Bao could no longer sense the spiritual energy from Taoist Master Baiyun. He was no longer Old Bai from the underworld; he was now a completely ordinary person.

Could it be that Old Bai only had the memories of Bai Wuchang while inside the spatial artifact?

That is, the so-called memories of a previous life.

“Bai… Bai…” Ah Bao’s long eyelashes fluttered as she stared at Taoist Master Baiyun. Her chubby little hand suddenly landed with a “pop” on Taoist Master Baiyun’s forehead.

“Old Bai doesn’t have a fever, does he?

Forget it, forget it, Old Bai really doesn’t recognize her anymore.

Taoist Master Baiyun smiled with arched eyebrows, ‘Little Princess, you… you can talk now?’

But she’s only six months old!

Don’t other babies start to make sounds at eight or nine months?

‘Gold… gold…’

That big golden basin of hers was given to her by Taoist Master Baiyun.

Taoist Master Baiyun suddenly remembered, ‘The little princess is talking about the golden basin, right?’

Old Bai, you’re so smart.

You understand what I’m saying, woo, it’s not easy.

Ah Bao nodded her little head.

The more Taoist Master Baiyun looked at Ah Bao, the happier he became. ‘So it turns out what Master said is true.’

Ah Bao: ?

What did the old Taoist say?

Taoist Master Baiyun tapped Ah Bao’s little forehead, ‘Master said, this time, the little princess who was born is not an ordinary person. That’s why he specifically asked me to bring the golden basin prepared at the Taoist temple into the palace.’

Ah Bao understood.

He is newly born.

Old Bai is reborn.

She carries memories from a previous life.

But Old Bai does not!

Everything, for Old Bai, will start all over again.

Ah Bao gnawed on her teething stick, her eyes darting around, ‘Bai… Bai… one…’

Ah Bao held up one finger.

She pointed to the Taoist temple.

‘Is the little princess asking if there’s only one Taoist Master at our temple?’

Ah Bao’s eyes widened, and she nodded her little head again.

Wow, wow, wow.

Old Bai is really smart!

There’s Old Bai here, but where’s Old Hei?

Come to think of it, she’s already half a year old, but she hasn’t seen Old Hei yet.

Taoist Master Baiyun also thought he was incredibly smart today, being able to understand baby talk.

But the little princess is indeed precocious, even though she can’t speak clearly, her ability to express herself is strong.

‘There’s also Master, but after giving me instructions, he ascended to the Western Heaven.’

‘Oh… szzz… szzlah.’

Ah Bao continued gnawing on her teething stick.

He just means dead, right?

Taoist Master Baiyun: ‘…’

The little princess is not only incredibly smart, but her personality is also very straightforward.

Ah Bao pursed her little lips, as if she had thought of something, and continued to point at Taoist Master Baiyun’s eyes, ‘…familiar…’

Taoist Master Baiyun: ?

His mind continued to race.

‘Are you asking if I look familiar to you, little princess?’

That’s correct!

That’s correct!

Woo, woo, woo, Old Bai is like a worm in her belly.

He understands her.

It’s really not easy, wow.

Taoist Master Baiyun chuckled, ‘Familiar indeed. I met you in the palace before, but you were sleeping at the time.’

Ah Bao: …Oh my, Taoist Master Baiyun was secretly paying attention to her.

Taoist Master Baiyun found the little princess to be really cute and interesting. For a moment, he was no longer surprised and instead accepted the fact that the little princess was extraordinary.

After all, even Master said that the tenth princess, born after, was no ordinary person.

Taoist Master Baiyun looked at her seriously, ‘Little princess, since you’re so precocious and can understand what I’m saying, that makes it easier. There’s something I need to remind you about.’

Ah Bao giggled, tilting her head, ‘Sa…’

Say it.

‘Little princess, when you were three months old, I noticed that something ominous seemed to have emerged in the palace. Just now, when Concubine Rou came, I found that she had already been entangled by this evil spirit. I saw that it was her fate to have this calamity, but there’s also a chance of change.

If I’m not mistaken, it’s likely that one of the deceased concubines in the palace has turned into an evil spirit.’

Ah Bao waved her little hand, as if she had predicted it.

Not long ago, she discovered someone using infant spirits for evil on Mount Taibai.

Just now, the malicious worm thrown by Concubine Hui was very similar to several incidents that happened recently.

Ah Bao suddenly became very quiet, deep in thought.

It must be someone in the palace causing trouble, creating all these problems.

Ah Bao’s eyes rolled around, and she casually said, ‘Not… afraid…’

No matter if it’s a demon or a ghost, just watch how she, Di Jiaoyang, will drag them out and stomp them to death.

Taoist Master Baiyun: ‘…’

The little princess’s aura suddenly became so strong.

She understood!

Taoist Master Baiyun was astonished, ‘…Princess, are you the reincarnation of an immortal? You’re incredible!’

Ah Bao squinted and smiled, her small hand patted Taoist Master Baiyun’s chest.

Old Bai, you finally got something right.

Taoist Master Baiyun: ‘…’

He was just saying that casually, okay?

‘But little princess, you still need to be careful, after all, you’re just a baby.’

Ah Bao nodded, ‘Mmm… mmm~’

Being so young indeed limits what she can do, but she’s not so easy to harm.

She still has her mother and scumbag father to protect.

And several brothers waiting for her to change their fate.

She will grow up well.

‘And I noticed that Princess Changping has a dark aura on her forehead, as if trouble is looming.’ Taoist Master Baiyun said seriously, ‘I’ll remind Princess Changping later.’

‘Bright… bright…’ Ah Bao’s small hand tapped Taoist Master Baiyun’s forehead.

If the dark aura on the forehead is brightened, the disaster will turn into a blessing, and her aunt will be safe.

Taoist Master Baiyun looked up with a bewildered expression, ‘Bright?’

Taoist Master Baiyun’s eyes widened, as if he had just learned something profound, ‘This… in all my years of cultivation, this is the first time I’ve heard that a dark forehead aura can be brightened.’

‘Bai… Bai… dumb dumb…’ Ah Bao said in her baby voice.

Oh my.

It took all her strength just to say that.

All that milk really wasn’t wasted.

Her tongue couldn’t straighten out, and she couldn’t pronounce the words… so hard.

‘Isn’t it enough to just avoid the disaster? How can you turn disaster into good fortune?’ Taoist Master Baiyun was incredibly curious, as if he had just gained new insight.

“Is the little princess talking about a talisman?”

Taoist Baiyun, looking somewhat foolish, said, “We have them in our temple. I’ll give you a whole bucket. I personally drew these, and it took a significant amount of my spiritual power.”

He seemed to have found a kindred spirit and eagerly led Ah Bao to the backyard, where he took out a bucket of talismans.

It was indeed a whole bucket.

They looked like they were free.

Ah Bao: “…”

She glanced at them and sneezed.

“Does the little princess not like them?”
