Chapter 917: Deterrence
Ding!
"Congratulations, host, for adopting the daughter and son of destiny as your godsons. The reward will be doubled after completing this tale."
The system suddenly spoke.
Chen Futu's body trembled. "What did you say? Destiny!"
"Yes, these two siblings are blessed with great fortune. If the host nurtures them well, they will surely become great helpers in the future."
"Tsk tsk tsk, not a bad deal!"
Chen Futu was overjoyed. Although raising a child would be difficult, he had everything he needed. He could take the child back to the Eastern City of Chaos and have Daji take care of him. Would he have any trouble raising the child well?
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes immediately reddened. She tilted her head back and stared intently at Chen Futu's dirty face, as if afraid that all of this was a dream.
The entire Zhao family was stunned. Old Mrs. Zhao was the first to react. She changed her fierce appearance from before and repeatedly agreed. Fearing that the clan leader would go back on his word, she asked to sign a document severing ties with the family, afraid of being implicated again.
The clan chief glared at her, then stared expectantly at Chen Futu. Chen Futu said, "Well, from now on, these two little ones belong to me. I hope you won't regret it."
"That's right! If you adopt them, young man, you can't just abandon them halfway through. The clan will also help you."
The clan chief immediately wrote a document, and from then on, Chen Futu had two extra children. The clan chief then provided some food and water, and borrowed cooking pots and stoves.
Amidst the astonished gazes of his clansmen, Chen Futu, carrying the child, led Daya to a corner to cook a meal.
The place was right next to a barren mountain. Chen Futu's eyes lit up. He told Da Ya to watch over the stove and the children, while he went into the barren mountain under the pretext of relieving himself. In a short while, Chen Futu came down the mountain carrying a wild rabbit and a pheasant.
Da Ya stared blankly at the game in her godfather's hand.
Chen Futu knew this was a bit outrageous. In the apocalypse, let alone wild game, even ants had mutated. However, he didn't explain further. He just wanted to fill the child's stomach first.
Sure enough, the tribespeople who were resting nearby heard the commotion and came to see what was going on. They were drooling as they looked at the pheasants and rabbits.
These days, let alone meat, people can't even afford rice. For a beggar to be able to catch wild game in such a short time, he must be quite capable.
"Gentlemen, is there anyone who can help feed this child?"
Chen Futu mentioned that the pheasant scanned the women around him, offering them a pheasant as a reward for helping to breastfeed their children.
"I come!"
A woman in her early twenties spoke up shyly from the crowd. She was quite pretty and had recently given birth. Despite the apocalypse, she was still fair-skinned and clean-cut, which was rare.
Chen Futu could actually make formula for the child, but at such a young age, breast milk is still better.
Chen Futu immediately handed over the pheasant.
The woman was overjoyed and took the child in her arms. She introduced herself as Chen Yun, the child's aunt.
"So it's Sister Chen. I also have the surname Chen. Maybe we're even from the same clan." Chen Futu joked, making Chen Yun giggle.
"Sister Chen, I'll give you a pheasant or a rabbit every day, and you'll help me nurse my baby, how about that?"
"Alright, alright, little brother, don't worry, leave it to me, I guarantee the child won't go hungry."
Chen Yun happily took the child there.
Next, Chen Futu processed the wild rabbit and stewed a pot of meat soup for Daya to nourish her body.
Daya remained timid; she had never eaten meat since birth.
"I'm going to change your names. From now on, Daya will be called Chen Huang, and Ergou will be called Chen Feng. Do you remember that?"
"Okay, I'll remember. Thank you, Godfather."
Chen Huang was overjoyed to have a name, and made two large bowls of meat soup, finally eating his fill.
However, something unexpected happened to Chen Yun. Zhao's old woman pointed at her face and cursed her, saying that eating her Zhao family's chicken would shorten her lifespan. She cursed her in a very nasty way.
"Pah! Shameless! You little hussy, you can't afford to live! Stealing food from my Zhao family, why don't you just die!"
"How come your hands are so long, you little bitch? Just because it's yours doesn't mean you can eat it. Aren't you afraid of your intestines rotting and maggots growing in your bones?!"
Chen Yun, holding the child, was scolded until her face turned red. She didn't know how to speak well and was so anxious that she almost cried.
Chen Futu never expected that, having come all the way to the Heavenly World, he would still encounter a strange creature like the Evil Old Woman.
Chen Yun's husband was a simpleton and couldn't swear. After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to utter "His mother's words."
Upon hearing this, Chen Futu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, his eyes turned cold, and his sea of will swept over her. The old woman, who was still jumping up and down cursing, died instantly, bleeding from all seven orifices.
This scene startled the tribespeople.
"Dead! Someone's dead!"
"Serves them right, this is divine retribution!"
"Who says otherwise? That old geezer finally got his comeuppance."
Everyone was happy to see the spectacle, while Old Zhao's family was in a state of wailing and chaos.
Chen Fu slaughtered the noisy old man, and the world finally quieted down.
Half an hour later, Chen Yun returned the child. Her eyes were slightly red and her face was a little pale.
Chen Futu comforted her, saying, "Zhao's death has nothing to do with you. She committed many evil deeds and suffered the consequences."
"Okay, I'll come again tonight."
Chen Yun felt a bit better after being comforted, as long as Zhao Shi wasn't angered to death by her.
Now that the troublesome old woman is gone, everyone in the group is all smiles, and their appetites have improved considerably.
The group continued their journey, and Chen Futu kept his promise to Chen Yun, sending him a game of wild game every day without fail.
The people in the tribe all wanted to know where those wild animals came from, but unfortunately, they lost track of Chen Futu every time he went out. After a while, they stopped following him and just felt that this young man Chen was very strange.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the group left the mountain road.
Chen Futu said to Chen Yun, "If we come across a small town, I'll try to get some rice and flour."
"I'm just worried about safety. I'm in good health, so breastfeeding another baby won't be a problem."
Chen Yun has indeed gained weight recently. The wild game given to him by Chen Futu is a product of the system and has a great nourishing effect, which has even given the Chen family members more strength to travel.
Chen Huang's body has also become much stronger, and he doesn't feel tired even though he is so young.
These changes were all noticed by the clansmen. In particular, Chen Futu's face, now clear and cold like a lonely moon, was like a true immortal descending to earth. Even his tattered clothes could not conceal his elegance. Such a appearance naturally attracted many girls' ambiguous gazes. Of course, there were also people who were hostile to Chen Futu, those who wanted supplies but had repeatedly failed to follow him.
“Godfather, many people have been secretly watching you lately, and I’m worried they might have ulterior motives.”
While on their journey, Chen Huang tugged at Chen Futu's sleeve.
Chen Futu glanced sideways and saw several unruly, shifty-eyed men scrutinizing him as if he were inspecting merchandise.
"Don't be afraid, Father knows."
Why would Chen Futu care about the covetousness of a few ants?
That very night, a few shifty-looking guys crept up to us, uttering filthy words.
Chen Futu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He heard a few cracking sounds, and several people's heads exploded a dozen meters away, turning them into headless corpses with blood flowing everywhere.
