Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Chapter 6 Wei Ying disappears, the Jiang family searches for him

At Yunmeng Lotus Pier, Jiang Fengmian was immersed in handling daily affairs when his subordinates suddenly hurriedly delivered a letter. The letter mentioned that Wei Ying had disappeared in Yiling.

Jiang Fengmian's heart sank, a wave of unease rising. A year had already passed, he wondered. How could Wei Ying have suddenly vanished without a trace? Puzzled, he decided to travel to Yiling in person to meet with the local guards, hoping to find some clues.

Jiang Fengmian arrived at Yiling with a heavy heart. After meeting the guards, he began searching for Wei Ying throughout the area. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find him. His expression gradually darkened, and he was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Jiang Fengmian couldn't help but wonder, "He was clearly being scolded, how come he disappeared all of a sudden?"

But thinking of Wei Ying's talent, he was unwilling to give up just like that, so he gave orders to his subordinates: "Go and find out if anyone knows the reason for Wei Ying's disappearance, or if anyone has seen the child?"

The subordinate responded respectfully, "Yes, Master." Then he turned and left, beginning to carry out Jiang Fengmian's orders. Jiang Fengmian stood on the street in Yiling, wondering, "Who would have taken Wei Ying away?"

Jiang Fengmian's eyes moved across the bustling streets, trying to catch a clue from the faces of every passerby, but the only response he got was silence and indifference.

At this time, Chaoyang and Wei Ying were immersed in a peaceful and harmonious medicinal bath, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Not long after, the sound of hurried, chaotic footsteps outside the door suddenly broke the silence. Chaoyang frowned slightly, but he didn't stand up immediately. Instead, he used his spiritual power to carefully investigate the visitor, confirming their identity and purpose.

"Uncle, it seems like someone is coming outside." Although Wei Ying did not open his eyes, his hearing was extremely sharp. He whispered to Chaoyang, with a hint of curiosity and uneasiness in his voice.

Chaoyang gently reached out his hand and patted the back of Wei Ying's hand lightly, using this method to comfort him and let him continue to enjoy the comfort of the medicinal bath with peace of mind.

Then, Chaoyang stood up, his movements slow and deliberate, yet revealing an air of nobility and inviolability. He slowly walked towards the door, each step seemingly tracing the pulse of time, steady and powerful. Before leaving, Chaoyang's eyes gently swept over Wei Ying, ensuring that he was alright. "Ah Ying, uncle will be back soon. Just continue soaking. Don't worry."

"Okay," Wei Ying replied softly. Although he was curious, he knew it was best not to discuss the matter further. He closed his eyes and rested, letting the medicinal power continue to nourish his body. The aroma of the medicinal bath seemed to become even stronger, and even the air seemed to be filled with a sense of peace of mind.

After hearing Wei Ying's answer, he turned and left the room. The noise and cold wind from the outside world instantly rushed in, forming a sharp contrast with the safe haven behind him built of medicinal fragrance and warmth.

As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people asking something in the inn. He heard, "Are there any guests staying with children? Especially that child, about four or five years old."

Chaoyang's heart tightened, immediately realizing that these people might be sent by the Jiang family to find Wei Ying. He observed the group calmly, their expressions anxious, clearly concerned about Wei Ying's whereabouts. Chaoyang sighed inwardly, realizing that Wei Ying's disappearance had indeed attracted the attention of the Jiang family.

After asking them and seeing them all say no, I left the inn.

Fortunately, he used a trick when he came in, otherwise Aying would be exposed. He was not familiar with this place and could not fight against the Jiang family.

He then slowly walked down the stairs, cast his gaze towards the waiter in the store, and asked with a hint of concern, "What happened?"

Seeing this, the waiter hurried forward a few steps, looking a little panicked, but trying to lower his voice: "Sir, it's the Jiang family who are looking for a child outside."

When Chaoyang heard this, a gloomy look flashed across his brows, and he asked, "Did you find the child?"

The waiter shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible sadness on his face, and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness: "No, they're still asking around."

Chaoyang heard the waiter's words and noticed a hint of sadness in his tone. He couldn't help but ponder. The Jiang family's search for their son had been going on for a long time. Why was the waiter so afraid that the Jiang family would find the child? Could there be a deeper entanglement and secret hidden behind this?

Chaoyang pondered for a moment, his eyes deep, as if weighing something. He sighed softly and asked the waiter, "Do you know something?"

The waiter became even more nervous upon hearing this, and quickly said in defense, "Sir, what are you talking about? How could I possibly know?"

The waiter's eyes flickered, and he was obviously hiding something, but Chaoyang did not rush to force him. He just said in a gentler but not to be ignored tone: "You don't have to be afraid. I am not from the Jiang family, and I have no ill intentions."

After a long moment of hesitation, the waiter finally made up his mind. He looked around carefully, making sure no one was watching them. Then, lowering his voice, he carefully leaned close to Chaoyang's ear and whispered, "Sir, you may not know that the child the Jiang family is looking for has actually always been in Yiling. I don't know which kindhearted person took the child away."

Chaoyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He glanced sharply at the waiter, trying to grasp more information from his gaze, but the waiter had clearly reached the limit of what he could say. His face was pale, his eyes flickering, and he dared not say anything more. Chaoyang pondered inwardly that the Jiang family's search for their son was indeed complicated. It turned out that the Jiang family had always known that Wei Ying had been in Yiling. Hearing this news was not surprising at all, but rather made sense to Chaoyang.

Chaoyang pondered for a moment, then he softly said to the waiter, "Thank you! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you said."

Chaoyang turned and slowly walked back to his room, his mind mulling over the shocking news the waiter had revealed. The child the Jiang family had been searching for had been found in Yiling. Perhaps Wei Ying's parents' deaths were inextricably linked to the Jiang family. Chaoyang couldn't help but feel a strange sense of unease. He couldn't confront the Jiang family head-on now; he had to be careful to protect Wei Ying.

This rule is too unreliable. They dragged him here but didn't allow Chaoyang to take action directly. What a waste! ! ! !

Chaoyang gently pushed open the door, returned to the room, and walked gently to the medicinal bath. Seeing Wei Ying still immersed in the bath, his face flushed with health, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Chaoyang felt a little relieved. He gently walked to Wei Ying and sat down, continuing to protect him with his spiritual power to ensure that the medicinal power could be absorbed to the maximum extent.

He carefully observed Wei Ying's condition to make sure everything was normal. He asked softly, "Aying, how do you feel?"

Wei Ying opened his eyes, a glint of gratitude in them: "Uncle, I feel much better now. It's like a warm current is flowing through my body, and I feel much more relaxed."

Chaoyang smiled slightly and said with relief: "That's good, the medicinal bath seems to be working well."

"Uncle, what happened outside?" Wei Ying opened his eyes and asked curiously.

Chaoyang smiled and soothed him, "It's nothing serious. It's just that the waiter in the store had some misunderstandings. Just continue soaking and don't be distracted."

Wei Ying nodded and closed his eyes again, enjoying the comfort of the medicinal bath. Chao Yang stood guard silently, mentally mulling over how to deal with the Jiang family's pursuit. He knew full well that the Jiang family was powerful, and if they discovered Wei Ying's whereabouts, the consequences would be disastrous.

Looking at the well-behaved Wei Ying, Chao Yang's eyes were filled with satisfaction. He reached for the towel beside him and gently wiped the sweat off Wei Ying's forehead with gentle and meticulous movements.

"Uncle, you are so kind to me." Wei Ying's eyes flashed with gratitude.

Then Chaoyang patted his head gently and said with a smile: "You are my nephew, of course I have to take good care of Aying."

He then patted Wei Ying's head, signaling him to continue enjoying the comfort of the medicinal bath. He then walked to the window, gazing out at Yiling City, while pondering the Jiang family's true purpose in searching for Wei Ying. A puppet? A death squad?

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Wei Ying's voice interrupted Chaoyang's thoughts.

Chaoyang turned around and looked into Wei Ying's clear eyes. A sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He decided not to tell Wei Ying about the Jiang family's search for him for the time being, so as to avoid causing him unnecessary worry.

"It's nothing, Aying, just continue soaking in the bath. Your uncle is thinking about something." Chaoyang answered gently.

Wei Ying nodded, closed his eyes, and continued to enjoy the comfort of the medicinal bath. Chao Yang walked aside and began to tidy up the room, making sure everything was in order.

Chaoyang was tidying up the room while keeping an eye on Wei Ying. He knew that although Wei Ying appeared carefree and smiling on the surface, he was actually an insecure child deep down.

After finishing tidying his room, Chaoyang walked to the window, his gaze once again fixed on Yiling City. The city appeared remarkably tranquil in the sunlight, but Chaoyang knew it was only a facade. The Jiang family's influence was pervasive, and their pursuit of Wei Ying would not be easily stopped. He wasn't afraid of the Jiang family's power, but Chaoyang was concerned about the various troubles it would bring, preventing Wei Ying from growing up carefree and free from desires.

Perhaps Chaoyang's expression was too serious as he thought about things.

"Uncle, are you really okay?" Wei Ying's voice sounded again, interrupting Chaoyang's thoughts.

Chaoyang turned around, his gaze gently falling on Wei Ying's eyes, which were as clear as lake water. The corners of Chaoyang's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a warm smile, and he softly replied, "It's okay, Ying. Uncle is just thinking about what delicious food I should prepare for you later so that you can enjoy and be satisfied."

After hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes flashed with anticipation, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "As long as it's prepared by my uncle, I like it."

Looking at Wei Ying's innocent smile, Chao Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. He knew that this child still maintained an innocent heart after going through so many hardships, which was rare. This also made Chao Yang more determined to protect Wei Ying.

"Okay, after you finish taking the medicinal bath, your uncle will go to prepare it." Chaoyang replied with a smile, then used his spiritual sense to search for ingredients in the space and began to get busy.

Chaoyang pulled a lively cuckoo chicken, a bundle of fresh vegetables, and a small bag of precious spiritual rice from his storage bag. He planned to meticulously prepare a delicious pot of chicken and vegetable porridge for Wei Ying. Cuckoo chicken is a third-level spiritual beast from the previous world. Its meat is incredibly delicious and fragrant, renowned as a nourishing food for children. To capture a sufficient number of cuckoo chickens, Chaoyang had issued an S-level mission in the Mercenary Alliance, offering a bounty for months. After overcoming countless hardships and dangers, he finally succeeded in capturing these precious ingredients.

Why did he go to such great lengths to capture the cuckoo chicken? The reason was simple: he had a special liking for this delicious cuckoo chicken and loved to eat it. And why did he offer a huge reward for its capture? It was because cuckoo chickens were extremely rare and almost impossible to find. If he had gone out looking for it himself, it would have taken a long time and effort, and he might not have found it. Instead, he offered a reward and paid someone to help capture it, saving both time and effort. After all, money wasn't a problem for Chaoyang; he had the financial resources to support such an operation.

The green vegetables were also picked by Chaoyang in the spiritual field. The green vegetables also absorbed abundant spiritual energy and were not only delicious. The spiritual rice was rice nourished by spiritual energy. Each grain contained rich spiritual energy and was very beneficial to the body.

Chaoyang expertly prepared the ingredients, slaughtering and removing the entrails of the cuckoo chicken. He then cleaned the chicken, cut it into small pieces, and marinated it with a secret spice blend. He then rinsed the rice and cooked it in the pot until it was half-cooked. Next, he added the marinated chicken to the pot and cooked it alongside the rice. As the heat gradually increased, an alluring aroma emanated from the pot, making everyone salivate.

Next, he washed and chopped the fresh vegetables and added them to the pot. He carefully controlled the heat, allowing the aroma of the cuckoo chicken and the fragrance of the vegetables to blend perfectly, while the rice in the pot slowly absorbed the essence of the broth.

During the cooking process, Chaoyang did not forget to use his spiritual power to infuse the porridge with a trace of his own spiritual energy. After all, Chaoyang's spiritual power naturally contains the power of life. This makes the porridge not only delicious, but also better nourishes Wei Ying's body and enhances his physical fitness.

Finally, the porridge was ready, and the aroma filled the air. Chaoyang smiled with satisfaction. He poured the porridge into a delicate porcelain bowl, gently placed it on a tray, and walked over to Wei Ying.

"Aying, you've almost finished your medicinal bath. Come and try the delicious food your uncle has prepared for you." Chaoyang said gently.

Wei Ying opened his eyes and saw the bowl of steaming porridge. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Wow, it smells so good! Uncle, the porridge you made must be delicious."

Chaoyang smiled, placed the porridge on the table, then picked up a towel beside him, lifted Wei Ying out of the tub, dried him, and dressed him in clean clothes. Wei Ying eagerly sat down at the table, picked up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it to warm it, and then carefully put it into his mouth.

Chaoyang smiled and handed the porridge to Wei Ying, saying, "Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

"Mm, it's delicious!" Wei Ying's eyes lit up, a satisfied smile on his face, "My uncle's cooking skills are really good."

Chaoyang watched Wei Ying eat with gusto, feeling extremely satisfied, "So cute.

At the same time, Chaoyang was still thinking that Wei Ying's future would not be smooth sailing. He had to prepare Wei Ying to face various challenges.
