Is that a Wisp?

After some time, a child's cry could be heard... not. Krune and Feifei's girl came out in the world with nothing more than a curious face. Of course, she was just born, so she didn't understand anything. As for her appearance... at first, she did look like a human. If not for the random hair and irises. However, that was not what caught Feifei and Krune's attention. What surprised them was that when the midwife raised the little girl, she stayed there... floating!

Do not misunderstand it. It is not that the rainbow-haired and eyed girl didn't have weight, but that instead of a dantian, she had a Wisp Core inside. Her weight was pretty much the same as any human baby of her size. It was the Wisp Core that was keeping her afloat. The girl, who didn't understand anything, seemed to not be enjoying that sensation, though. It looked like she was about to cry too.

The midwife dazed expression disappeared and quickly grabbed the little girl, delivering her to Feifei. She had heard that the baby would be a hybrid between wisp and human and that she should expect some differences. Of course, the midwife still felt shocked to see the baby floating.

"Cough, cough. Have you decided on a name?"

Krune and Feifei came back to themselves after hearing that question. They then smiled at each other and nodded.

"Her name is Fie, Wang Fie."

Krune doesn't have a family name to start with, so they simply decided to use Feifei's one for that. As for the Fie name, it was Krune who gave the idea. Since she was a girl, he wanted something that resembled Feifei's name. At that time, even Feifei was surprised by that suggestion. After all, Krune's naming sense isn't exactly 'remarkable.' But Fie was indeed a very good name that she liked at lot. Especially since Krune selected it because of her.

Krune touched her and sent his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense inside. Now that she was finally born, the blockage that Feifei's own cultivation exerted on her was gone. Krune was able to pry inside Feifei's womb before but had a hard time seeing everything clearly. Feifei was the same thing.

The first main difference was her meridians. Different from a human, Fie did not have blood and flesh meridians. Instead, Krune could totally feel the presence of the nine Elemental Meridians in her body. That confirmed his group theory that the Elemental Meridians could be inherited. Feifei, for example, still has her bodily meridians, but she had not used them for a very long time, nor did she need them.

'It is probably because I don't have normal meridians to start with, so she inherited a body without meridians from me. Well, even if the Elemental Meridians had not been inherited, she could still practice the Myriad Energies Technique later and create her own, so it wouldn't be a problem.'

But there was one difference that immediately caught Krune's attention. Seeing that, he couldn't help but smile.

"Look, her Elemental Meridians are like my own, very colorful."

Feifei was surprised by that and checked it as well.

"Oh, you are right! Does it mean that she will be good at elemental control?"

Krune shook his head.

"I don't know, but I hope she will."

"Let's see what else is different."

Krune kept checking her body and soon found her Dantian, or better, Wisp Core.

"Oh, it's a Wisp Core. No wonder she was floating earlier and seemed weightless. It is the Wisp's Core fault. Still, this Wisp Core is different from the other wisps. I can see a few traits of a human's Dantian on it. I guess this is a good thing. I always believed that part of the reason why Wisps have a low lifespan had something to do with their Wisp Cores. Since her Wisp Core isn't the same, she probably won't have the same issue."

Suddenly, Krune heard a voice inside the room.

"You are correct."

A small spatial gate appeared inside, and right after, Cinty came out in her wisp form. She quickly went back to her human form, though.

"Still, there is a difference between a human's lifespan and a hybrid between wisp and human. She is exactly in the middle. A human that doesn't enter the Foundation Establishment can live around 100 years. As for wisps, they can only live for 10 years in the same condition. That means Fie has a lifespan of around 50 to 55 years if she doesn't enter the Foundation Establishment."

Feifei and Krune didn't feel the least bit sad by that. 50 to 55 years of initial lifespan was more than enough for her to cultivate without having to worry about time. Especially since she has the Elemental Meridians. First of all, Krune and Feifei could see that she is already in the 9th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. In the end, she did not enter the Foundation Establishment.

That was good, though. This way, she would have time to think about her own Foundation Form. But it was then that Krune's expression changed. He immediately sent his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense inside, but soon after, Krune relaxed.

Feifei noticed it, though.

"What happened?"

Krune patted Feifei's head and said.

"Nothing. Because Fie is a hybrid between human and wisp, I was afraid that her soul was inside her Wisp Core. Fortunately, she inherited the human trait in this case. Her soul is in her head, so she doesn't have the risk of dying if she fails to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Cinty confirmed Krune's words.

"That's one good thing about a hybrid between wisps and humans. Even if she fails and her Wisp Core breaks in the process, thanks to the Dantian traits of the Core, she will be able to recreate it and try again."

Knowing this, Krune and Feifei were obviously even more delighted.

Cinty then looked at the group of midwives and asked.

"How was it?"

The midwives had low cultivations, so they couldn't tell at what level Cinty was. That's why Cinty didn't mind appearing in front of them.

"Everything went fine, it was exactly like you mentioned to us before we came here. Feifei delivered the placenta a little after the birth, which means that this was really a very human-like process."

Cinty nodded, satisfied.

"Good."

She then threw a few spatial rings to the group. After checking the contents inside, their eyes all lit up. Although what Cinty paid them wasn't considered much in her eyes, it was definitely a lot for cultivators and demon beasts at their Realms.

"Thank you."

Cinty smiled and asked.

"Is there something else you need to do, or is it okay for you to leave already?"

The leader of the midwives said.

"If everything is really like a human's birth process, then you should be able to take care of yourselves from now on. Especially since the mother obviously has very high cultivation, so she shouldn't face any problems anymore. Of course, if you see anything happening in the future, you have all our communicators' IDs, so you can call any of us. We will help as much as possible."

Suddenly, Fie started to cry for the first time, which immediately alarmed Feifei.

"Wh-What is it?"

One of the midwives laughed and said.

"Fie is just hungry, you need to feed her."

Feifei sighed in relief and then took several Spirit Stones out. But this time, Fie didn't stop crying, nor did she absorb any Spiritual Energy.

The midwife's mouth twitched, though.

"Who the hell gives Spirit Stones to a just born baby? She is obviously hungry for your milk!"

"Ah!"

Only then Feifei noticed how idiotic her action looked like. But she couldn't be blamed; just how many times did Feifei feed Fie with Spiritual Energy in this entire year of pregnancy? She simply got too used to it, that's all. Feifei then approached her daughter to her breast, and sure enough, instinct spoke louder. Fie immediately started to suck her mother's milk.

Feifei couldn't help but feel her eyes tearing up. That was her first time 'really' feeding her own child, after all.

Krune, on the other hand, laughed out loud.

"It seems like we will need to feed her with more than just Spirit Stones from now on."

Seeing that everything was okay, the midwives decided to leave.

Feifei and Krune then thanked the group as well. After that, a wisp came by and guided the midwives back to their own places.

With they gone, Tiane, Ruik, Laex, and the rest of the group came inside the room.

Cinty also took that chance to ask.

"So, how was it, was her floating ability surprising enough?"

Krune and Feifei looked at Cinty and nodded.

"It really was. For a second, I thought Fie had no weight. But when I held her, I noticed that her weight was normal, it is just that she had this ability."

Cinty nodded.

"Although extremely rare, it is not like there had been no hybrids of humans and wisps before. But there are some differences in yours. For example, the fact that her hair and eyes don't have the normal blue-green coloration that normal wisps have. Most likely, her rainbow-like features happened because of Krune's Elemental Meridians' connection to his Elemental Divine Soul."

Cinty patted Fie's head and continued.

"There is also one more thing that you will see anytime now. Oh! It seems like it is about to happen."

Suddenly, Fie's body started to release some kind of colored flame. Feifei was frightened for a second, but she soon noticed that the flame was more like Spiritual Energy. It's just that the Spiritual Energy wasn't dissipating, but gathered around Fie's body. Also, there was no pain even when you touched that.

Krune, of course, immediately understood what that was.

"It's the wisp's ethereal body!"

Cinty nodded.

"Correct. However, it seems like Fie also inherited your rainbow side on this. Hahaha! Fortunately, her appearance is just like Feifei, which is good. It would be too sad if everything was like this idiot wisp father."

Krune didn't mind it at all. Having a child that looked just like Feifei was an excellent thing for him. As for the rainbow features...

'Well, I guess I don't hate this word so much now.'
