Chapter 853: Crimson Profound Fruit
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The little one on the trampoline cried out in panic, sobbing loudly and uncontrollably.
The screaming mother beside, looking up at the child tossed about in mid-air, ran around the trampoline in a frantic attempt to catch her child when thrown off.
Even if it meant getting injured herself, she was determined to protect her child.
But in her haste, the mother failed to watch her step, tripping over a stone and tumbling to the ground.
Grazes marred her knees and elbows, which she didn’t even have time to glance at.
Scrambling to her feet, but…
it was too late to catch the child.
...
The mother cried out in anguish, “Baby…”
Bystanders watched with heavy hearts, feeling deeply unsettled.
Several young people, without a moment’s hesitation, rushed forward to save the child, but the distance was too great, and their fast reactions still fell short.
By now, the child had been flung to the highest point by the right-side bungee cord and then was hurtling down towards the trampoline’s safety net.
Several girls with fainter hearts couldn’t bear to watch and covered their eyes.
The trampoline staff stood by, looking ashen-faced and completely helpless.
Having their license revoked would be the least of their worries; they might even end up behind bars for years.
At this critical juncture, Xu Fan intervened.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of the air being torn apart resonated.
The crowd felt a gust of wind sweep by, and in a blur, a figure appeared beside the sobbing mother.
It was Xu Fan.
Xu Fan, holding Tongtong in his left arm, extended his right hand, from which a gentle stream of True Qi flowed out, enveloping the child.
In an instant, the child was safely in Xu Fan’s arms.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
The remaining right-side bungee cord was still shaking violently, but the child was securely cradled by Xu Fan and did not get thrown out.
“Wah, wah, wah…”
The child, completely unaware of being saved, cried out heartbreakingly in Xu Fan’s embrace.
Tongtong immediately reached out with her tender little hand to gently pat the child’s back, coaxing in a soft, milky voice, “It’s okay, it’s okay, no more crying, no more crying…”
“Clap!
Clap!
Clap!…”
“Young man, well done!”
“We owe you one.
The consequences could have been unthinkable!”
“…”
Suddenly, a thunderous applause erupted from around, with many showering him with praise.
If not for Xu Fan’s timely assistance, the scene could have turned tragic, potentially destroying a once happy family.
The young mother finally came to her senses, struggling to rise from the ground, her eyes brimming with emotional tears.
Xu Fan, now a father to Tongtong, could truly empathize, something he wouldn’t have understood before.
He consoled her, “The child is fine, just frightened.”
The young mother broke down in tears, squatting on the ground, her hands covering her eyes, as tears streamed copiously.
At this moment, her tension snapped.
Xu Fan did not rush her but stood by, watching over the exhausted young mother.
Tongtong was gently consoling the little friend who was still sobbing in her arms.
By this time, the trampoline staff had finally stumbled over, helping the child to get untangled from the safety rope.
The staff bowed to Xu Fan, expressing their gratitude, “Thank you, sir.
I really thank you.
If it weren’t for you…” Unable to continue, they choked up and ran off.
The young mother finally snapped back to reality, stood up abruptly, and reached out to embrace her child.
She hugged the child tightly, as if fearing that letting go would make the child disappear.
The incessantly crying child in the mother’s arms gradually stopped crying, his face red from sobbing, with tear drops still clinging to his eyelashes, sniffing with each breath.
The young mother, gently patting her child’s back, then remembered to thank her benefactor.
She turned around, only to find that there was no one behind her.
After searching around for a while without success, she could only mutter.
“Thank you, thank you, unnamed hero.
You are our family’s savior!”
At this moment, Xu Fan, holding Tongtong, had already left the pedestrian street.
Tongtong, lying in Xu Fan’s arms, looked up with clear eyes full of admiration, her little fist clenched, saying earnestly.
“Daddy, you were so awesome just now.
You’re a big hero, Tongtong admires Daddy the most, I want to be a great person like Daddy when I grow up.”
At this point, Tongtong didn’t know what a great person looked like, but in her eyes, Daddy was the greatest person in the world.
“Hahaha…”
Hearing his little princess praise him so, Xu Fan chuckled, feeling indescribably proud.
Every father wants to become the invincible hero in his child’s eyes; it’s the fountain from which they draw their motivation to strive.
Afterwards, Xu Fan drove Tongtong home.
All the way, Xu Fan was in a good mood, not only smiling, but also humming tunes from time to time.
Children need recognition and praise from their parents.
And aren’t parents the same?
At dinnertime, everyone gathered around Tongtong, asking how her first day at school went.
Tongtong animatedly described the day’s events at school, and although she had recounted them twice already, she was still very willing to share her happiness again.
Although the first day at school had a minor hiccup, it wasn’t a big problem.
Having made a good start, surely the future would be bright!
The next morning, Xu Fan drove Tongtong to kindergarten.
All the way, Tongtong didn’t resist, humming off-tune the entire trip, cheerful and happy.
When Xu Fan dropped Tongtong off at the classroom, she planted a kiss on Xu Fan’s face.
Then, waving her little hands, she said, “Bye-bye, Daddy.
Remember to come pick up Tongtong tonight!”
Xu Fan nodded with a smile, “Yes, Daddy will definitely come to pick up Tongtong on time.”
Then Tongtong turned and entered the classroom, happily greeting Xi Yu and Little Yueyue.
Gone was any sign of yesterday’s reluctance and fussiness.
Xu Fan left the kindergarten with a laugh and a sigh, feeling a hint of bittersweetness as he quietly departed.
Sitting in the car for a while, he used his Divine Sense to feel that Tongtong was playing happily in the classroom before he drove home.
Just as Xu Fan got back to the Oriental Famous City villa, the doorbell rang.
Shen Jianting came to visit with an elder from the Sect.
The Sword Heaven Sect had received news of the Crimson Profound Fruit and had come specially for this matter.
After hearing their story, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Jian Ting, you mean to say, there’ sa Spirit Beast guarding the Crimson Profound Fruit?" —“Yes,". Shen Jianting nodded, “Yeah, the Crimson Profound Fruit we my third uncle, and he personally saw the Spirit Beast guarding it.”
