Wen Yan silently sighed; there was more to that reminder than met the ear. But what could he do when he wasn't prepared? Just take one step at a time. On a larger scale, he absolutely couldn't stand by and watch the Soul Devouring Beast return to its original form. With such a massive body, immune to all harm, capable of devouring all Creatures on an entire planet, it probably wouldn't take more than a few years for everyone to be doomed. On a smaller scale, his fingers were tightly clutched in the little one's grip; that pulse of blood connection was indubitably genuine. He also couldn't let the little one, newly arrived in this world and not yet having had a good look at it, leave again so soon. The little one's nature was secondary; the main point was, it was actually his son. Even if something came up later, he would just have to deal with it as it came.
"Little one, just focus on recovering, on growing up. Eat more, sleep more, and you'll slowly grow up."
