The first thing that Seiran said when we descended onto a mountain top was, “Master, are you really chasing after a man?” His voice was riddled with condescension. He had been hiding in my soul space, and when we descended, he had leapt out and stretched on the grassy plains.

“Don’t go using that tone with me. Don’t you want your master to get married already?” I lectured him.

“What difference does it make if you’re married or not? Master is still master.”

In his fox form, he rubbed himself against my leg. He always had a way with words, and it was quite hard to remain angry with him. I stroked him under his chin, and his hind leg moved in glee.

“I’m here to chase after my husband. Isn’t that a wife’s duty?”

“But master…he doesn’t even know you…”

I wanted to kick this dog into mud.

“Will you stop shattering my dreams?” I punched him lightly on the head.

With the pulsating seal on my wrist as a guide, I walked around the mountain with Seiran by my side.

“Master, did Jin Lei reincarnate on a mountain?” He asked, puzzled.

“I guess so. The seal is becoming brighter with each step, so I assume he’s near. Maybe his mortal family lives in the mountain?”

The bright glow that the seal emitted suddenly vanished, and I panicked for a moment until I saw a small white object lying against a thick tree root. It was swaddled hastily and looked like it had been abandoned.

“Master, I think that’s a baby,” Seiran stated the obvious.

“I think that’s Jin Lei…”

I closed my eyes and released my divine sense, expanding it across the mountain. I saw a woman hastily running down the mountain steps with tears in her eyes. So Jin Lei really was abandoned, huh? I wondered what the reason was, but I didn’t mind. If it meant that I was the one who was able to protect him as he grew, then it was a blessing.

I picked up the white object and stared intently at his face. Big, round eyes looked back at me, full of innocence. He was drooling, and his pudgy arms were swinging in the air. Small hairs surrounded his scalp, but he still looked bald.

“He kind of looks disgusting…” I trailed off.

“Master!” Seiran said helplessly.

This was my first time actually seeing a baby, as the birth rate in Heaven was not high at all. I had my share of interacting with children, but never with a baby. Lucky for me, I knew how to take care of one, as I had casually perused the neonatal handbook I found in Siming’s library before. Upon closer inspection of the round facial structure, I had a sudden realization.

“He looks like a potato,” I said as I took my handkerchief and wiped the drool from his mouth.

“…” Seiran was dumbstruck at my creative words.

The little potato in my arms started giggling as if in agreement, further drooling against my chest.

“Despite being abandoned, he looks quite happy, don’t you think?” I told Seiran. He could only shake his head as if saying, “What am I going to do with with you?”

“Ah, where should we live from now on?” I asked myself aloud. I didn’t want potato Jin to live on the mountain. What could he gain from it? Absolutely nothing! I didn’t want to hamper his trial, whatever it was, and the only thing I could do was give him a good life where he could easily obtain his dreams.

I searched the surrounding areas with my divine sense and saw that there were numerous cities. I picked the biggest city, which I assumed was the Capital (because of a palace erected in the middle), and flew towards its gates.
