Chapter 126: Call Him Mommy (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
The little zombie hurried to follow Yin Jinye, dragging his big cloth bag, which was even bigger than the doorway of the passage, and failed to squeeze out, so the little zombie cried out, "Daddy, daddy, daddy..."
Yin Jinye, "......"
Rong Yi was embarrassed, so he walked back and said, "I'll put your cloth bag into the Storage Ring and then take it out for you after we get home, OK?"
The little zombie nodded.
Rong Yi folded up the big cloth bag, "Fortunately, corpse is a dead thing, otherwise I can not put this into my Ring."
The little zombies flied happily over their heads after unloading the heavy burden.
Shortly after they left, the patrolling disciples of the Ghost Sect felt something was wrong with the mountain on the back. They immediately went over to check and found that the seal was broken and their fellow disciples guarding the mountain also disappeared. The gate of the tomb was open, and the ever-sleeping little ancestor within and top-level ingredients for refining magic weapons were all gone. They immediately reported this to their leader.
"Leader, the disciples guarding the tomb, our little ancestor and his ingredients for refining magic weapons are all missing."
The leader, who was meditating then, immediately stood up and said angrily, "All missing? How is it possible?"
"He was already gone when we got there. Even the corpse bed of our little ancestor was missing. We thought that he probably ran away from home. And the guarding disciples followed behind trying to stop him."
"Running away from home?" The leader didn't believe the story he made up at all, "Such a simple-minded kid would only walk around the sect even when he is out for fun. He will never walk far away. In his little mind, there is absolutely such a thing as 'running away from home'."
The patrolling disciple said, "Did someone take him away?"
The leader sneered, "Who do you think have the ability to kidnap an Earth Ghost Cultivator with 3,000 years of cultivation?."
After an Earth Ghost Cultivator had overpowered his doom, what kind of cultivator could kidnap him?
The patrolling disciple, "..."
Even if he gathered all ghost cultivators of the sect, they would not stand a chance to kidnap an Earth Ghost Cultivator.
"Is it really kidnapping?" The resentful leader wondered who had the ability to kidnap a ghost cultivator with 3,000 years of cultivation. "Send some disciples to search him out. You don't have to come back if the mission fails."
"Yes, my lord."
At that time, the man who had the 'ability' to kidnap their ancestor was looking at the little zombie sucking in his arms gloomily, "I had a hard time letting my little Cherry stay at home and wait for me to go back. Now there is another sticky candy. As long as I think of a group of children circling around me, I feel like my head is gonna blow."
Why hadn't he been so attractive to his little brothers and sisters before he had transmigrated here?
Yin Jinye looked at the little zombie in Rong Yi's arms, "His phase should be above Void Purifying, and he must have lived for far more than 1,000 years."
"Above Void Purifying? Then how high is he?"
Yin Jinye shook his head, "I can not tell, but it should be above me."
"The little kid is so capable? Then he should no longer fear light." Rong Yi held the little zombie's face in his hands, "What's your cultivation level, little zombie?"
The little zombie looked blank.
"He looks as if he knows nothing, even more like a blank sheet of paper compared with the little Cherry." Rong Yi went on asking, "Do you know your name?"
He could not be called as "little zombie" forever, right?
The little zombie cocked his head, still didn't understand.
"He was born in the tomb. No one should have given him a name," said Yin Jinye.
"Then I'll name him." Rong Yi thought for a moment, "He was a zombie. I'll give him the last name 'Jiang' (Chinese word for zombie is 僵尸,and僵 in pinyin is jiang, so Rong Yi gives him the surname Jiang, using the partial tone of the Chinese word 僵). And we met in a tomb. Then his first name is 'Mu' (Chinese word for tomb is墓, and 墓 in yinpin is mu, so Rong Yi gives him the name Mu, using the partial tone of the Chinese word 墓). But the 'mu' with the meaning of 'tomb' sounds ominous, then his 'mu' interpreted as 'twilight'(Rong Yi thinks using 墓 as a name is a bit ominous, so he uses 暮 as his name, which means twilight in English). The name Jiang Mu is very suitable for the little zombie who only comes out at the edge of the night. Okay, we'll call you 'Jiang Mu' from now on."
The little zombie looked at him with a dull face.
Rong Yi pointed to his arm and said word by word, "We, will, call, you, Jiang, Mu, from, now, on, understand?"
"Mu?" The little zombie could only utter a single word at a time at present.
"Yes, Jiang, Mu, your name is Jiang Mu, and whenever I call you 'Jiang Mu', you must respond to me."
"Mu." The little zombie looked at Yin Jinye and pointed to him, "Daddy."
Yin Jinye, "..."
Well, he just went to the tomb and got a son costing him nothing.
Rong Yi hurriedly said, "He's not... emm, forget it, you won't understand what I said. I'll tell you when you grow a little bigger."
"Mu," The little zombie pointed to himself, and to Yin Jinye, "Daddy."
"Yes."
"Mu, Daddy." The little zombie said it again, then pointed to Rong Yi. "What was his name?" thought the little zombie.
Rong Yi did not get it, "What's the matter?"
Seeing Rong Yi did not figure out what he meant, the little zombie was anxious and kept pointing to Rong Yi.
"Do you want to ask my name?"
The little zombie nodded happily.
Rong Yi thought for a moment, but before he could speak, Yin Jinye said, "Call him mommy."
Rong Yi was stunned first and then said angrily, "Shit, don't talk nonsense. You will misguide the child."
Yin Jinye's mouth curved up.
"Mommy?" Doubts flashed in the little zombie's eyes.
Yin Jinye nodded, "Yes, call him mommy."
"Mommy," shouted the little zombie happily.
Rong Yi quickly covered the little zombie's mouth, "Shut up, you can't call me that."
The little zombie held Rong Yi's hand and called, "Mommy."
"I said I'm not your mommy, if you call me 'mommy' again, I'll throw you away."
Yin Jinye laughed out seeing this funny scene.
Rong Yi glared at him angrily, "How dare you laugh at me? He cannot even tell the difference from men and women."
Watching Yin Jinye laugh so happily and Rong Yi chatter incessantly, the little zombie also felt happy in his heart. He liked to a lively scene and didn't like to face the cold tomb alone.
"Mommy, mommy."
He again called 'mommy' twice.
"I said I'm not your mommy."
Outside the cart, Xinghe could not help smiling when he heard them laughing so happily.
