Baby with Daoist Monarch System
Chapter 680 - 278: White Ape Fiend
Great Wilderness Border Village.
Xu Family’s courtyard.
A sudden anomaly appeared!
At the moment Xu Ran jumped out of the massive Bronze Tripod, high above, the cloud layers suddenly parted, and a cloud radiating a faint purple aura, soothingly purple, rapidly appeared.
The purple was quite peculiar.
In an instant.
The originally bright sky was immediately engulfed in a layer of faint purple as if the entire world was bathed in this pleasant purple glow.
"Look, what is that?"
Suddenly, a villager on the periphery who saw the purple cloud floating from afar cried out.
In an instant, everyone looked up towards the horizon.
As they watched.
That layer of faint purple clouds, wrapped with white streaming light, combined white and purple, appearing extremely mystical.
"This... What exactly is this purple cloud?"
"Why does this scene appear?"
"Elder Qi, you’ve seen a lot, have you ever witnessed something like this?"
"Heavenly phenomenon, could it mean a disaster is impending?"
...
For a while, the bewildered villagers chattered endlessly, some even ready to rush home, prepared to escape at a moment’s notice.
The backbone amidst the crowd, Elder Qi, upon seeing the drifting cloud, was just as stunned and bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
But now, the scene’s order needed him to maintain, he could only feign composure.
"Everyone, don’t panic!" Elder Qi waved his hand to soothe the crowd, "Don’t forget, ’Purple Qi from the East,’ with a layer of purple clouds, how could it be a harbinger of disaster?"
At the sound of Elder Qi’s voice, the restless crowd quieted down in an instant, many nodding in agreement.
From the mythical stories they’ve heard since childhood, purple represents nobility, a color only the ancient emperors could possess, let alone a layer of purple clouds.
However, as for what this cloud signifies, there is no conclusion yet.
The surroundings quiet and Elder Qi could closely observe the purple clouds drifting from the horizon.
Looking carefully, he noticed the white within the purple cloud seemed very familiar.
"Oh? Isn’t the white within that cloud the same as the white vortex around Xu Ran earlier?!"
Thinking of this, Elder Qi pushed open the door and quickly walked into the Xu Family’s courtyard, seeing that besides the layers of golden light and white vortices surrounding Xu Ran’s infant-like body, there was also an extremely faint purple streaming light.
Immediately, Elder Qi was shocked, exclaiming, "So it really is!!"
At this time.
In the courtyard, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, unaware of what was happening, looked at Elder Qi who had entered, puzzled, and asked, "Elder Qi, what is it? What happened?"
The Xu Family’s courtyard, although large enough, had a tall building blocking the view of the distant scene, and the direction from which the purple clouds floated was precisely where the building stood, so Xu Binghu and Lian Ji hadn’t seen the phenomenon.
Elder Qi hurriedly explained, "A layer of faint purple clouds is drifting in from the sky, and it should be triggered by little Ran!!"
"But you can’t see it from inside the courtyard, it’s just blocked by the building!"
"Purple clouds!!!" Xu Binghu and Lian Ji shouted in unison.
Then, they rushed out of the courtyard as fast as they could, reaching the front where the villagers gathered, and looked up.
Indeed, they saw a purple cloud layer drifting over at an extremely fast speed, estimated to arrive in just a quarter-hour.
"This... this was caused by little Ran?" Xu Binghu stammered.
For Xu Binghu who was born and raised in the Great Wilderness Border Village, the furthest they’ve been is within ten miles of the Great Mountain, even after refining the body.
In these twenty-odd years, they’ve rarely seen anything purple, let alone purple clouds.
And purple, to them, is extremely noble a color, in mythological stories passed down by word of mouth, the emperors could command noble colors, apart from gold, it was purple.
"Purple Qi comes from the East," the four-character idiom suffices to prove its precious nature.
And now, an entire stretch of purple clouds was floating over just like that, it was simply unbelievable.
"Elder Qi, are you sure this purple cloud was attracted by little Ran?" Xu Binghu asked again, unconvinced.
Elder Qi nodded, "Within the purple cloud, there are faint white vortices, exactly like the ones surrounding little Ran." Elder Qi confirmed, "And now, around little Ran too, there’s a faint, hard-to-detect purple aura."
Upon hearing this, Xu Binghu looked closely towards Xu Ran in the courtyard, seeing that amidst the white vortices encircling, there was a layer of indistinct purple aura.
Now, Xu Binghu was convinced that the cloud was indeed drawn in by Xu Ran.
Suddenly, Xu Binghu clenched his fists tightly, and excitedly waved in the air several times.
"Indeed, bringing back the White Jade Giant Bone from that mysterious village for a medicinal bath was the right decision, little Ran’s current transformation is all due to this well-prepared medicinal bath!!"
Originally, intending to fetch the giant bone from that village for Xu Ran’s medicinal bath was because it was significant in size and carried Xu Ran’s unique aura, but unexpectedly, the effect brought forth was so massive, even creating a phenomenon!
The clueless villagers around, listening to the conversation between Xu Binghu and Elder Qi, realized that the purple cloud approaching their village was indeed attracted by Xu Ran, and once again began their chatter.
