Chapter 344 - 183: The Upstream Traveler
The baby had bright eyes and white teeth, and did not cry or fuss.
Her beautiful big eyes stared straight at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu stared straight back at her.
The two of them, one big and one small, gazed at each other for a long time.
Until Chen Yu was the first to falter, "My lady?"
The baby girl nodded.
Chen Yu, "Where should I even begin to ask?"
The baby girl lifted her neck and reached out with her chubby little hands, pointing at her own mouth.
Chen Yu, "Should I start with your mouth?"
Baby girl, "..."
Chen Yu, "Oh, you can’t speak yet?"
Baby girl, "..."
Chen Yu, "...Are you hungry?"
This time the baby girl nodded again and looked sideways at the old lady who had already died on the operating table.
Seeing this, Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then tentatively placed "my lady" on the old lady’s body. The baby girl immediately used her hands and feet, peeled open the corpse’s clothes, and bit into the chest, greedily sucking up the juices.
Chen Yu, "..."
For some reason, he felt that the scene in front of him made his sanity plummet.
Twenty minutes later, the baby girl had finished drinking.
But she did not give Chen Yu a single glance and simply lay on the old lady’s corpse and fell asleep.
Chen Yu frowned tightly, unsatisfied, he picked up the baby girl and shook her vigorously, "Hey, wake up. Don’t you think we’re still missing something here?"
The baby girl half-opened her eyes drowsily, stared at Chen Yu for a while, then immediately pouted and began to cry loudly.
"Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah——"
Chen Yu, "Believe it or not, I will throw you to your death."
"Wah, wah, wah—come on then—wah, wah..."
"You spoke!" Chen Yu’s eyes widened, "You just spoke!"

"Wah, wah, wah, wah..."
After that, no matter what Chen Yu said, the baby girl just kept crying with her eyes shut.
She was no different from a normal baby.
Gradually, Chen Yu got annoyed listening to her and had no choice but to put "Her Highness the Consort" back on the old lady’s corpse and let her sleep.
But the baby girl did not sleep this time and kept crying.
Not just crying.
While crying, she also wet herself.
Chen Yu’s scalp went numb, and almost instinctively he picked up "my lady" again and shook her hard.
"My lady" finally fell back asleep.
"..."
"Have I become a manny now?"
...
In the days to come.
Chen Yu completely turned into "Daddy."
Every day he helped the baby girl clean up, changed her "diapers," and fed her on time.
But the baby girl still didn’t say an extra word to Chen Yu.
She even used urine to write a line on the ground—I can’t speak now.
Chen Yu, "Can’t speak yet learned to write first, huh?"
Not until a year later.
The baby girl lay on the slightly rotten corpse, sucked the last drop of milk, then staggered over to Chen Yu, looked up, and said in a babyish voice, "Dear, we can talk now."
"That’s great." Chen Yu nodded without any expression.
"So can you throw away the poop now?" the consort asked.
"Sure." Chen Yu casually threw away the diaper soiled with poop, "Three more seconds and it would have landed on your face."
"You’re really in a hurry." The baby girl sighed, "If our love is eternal, why lament the day-to-day?"
"Who wants to be with you day-to-day." Chen Yu said from above.
"Alright, what do you want to ask?"
"Too many questions, I don’t even know where to begin. You tell me."
"For example, where is this place?"
"Right." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, "Where is this place."
"It’s my secret lair." The baby girl sat down on the old lady’s corpse, spread her hands, "You could also think of it as my own ’Divine Artifact.’ I named it, the House of Fate."

"This isn’t the fourth layer of the human ancestral tomb?"
"Right. My House of Hope is embedded within the fourth layer."
"How should I get out?"
"With just a thought from me, you can get out." The baby girl licked her lips, "But I’d like to know more about how you managed to get in."
"I just jumped down from the third layer and got trapped here."
"That’s strange." The baby girl blinked her beautiful big eyes, examining Chen Yu up and down, "According to my settings for the ’House of Hope,’ apart from me, no other creature in this world should be able to enter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"So..." the baby girl’s tone turned eerie, "You truly are not from this world."
"..."
Chen Yu fell silent.
As a transmigrator.
If strictly defined, he indeed was not from this world.
"No wonder, you too have multiple powers like me." The baby girl smiled, "So then, Mr. Chen Yu, where do you come from?"
"Wait a minute." Chen Yu immediately countered, "What did you just say? You have multiple powers too?"
"Yes." The baby girl nodded.
"You’re not from this world either?" Chen Yu asked tentatively.
"No, no, no." The baby girl put up her index finger, loosely shaking it, "Of course, I was born and bred here. Just not from your era, that’s all."
"... What does that mean? I’m getting more and more confused."
"Well... to put it this way." The baby girl stood up and strolled on the operating table, "To put it in terms you can understand, I am a human from several thousand years in the future."
"Several thousand... years later?!" Chen Yu was shocked.
"That’s right." The baby girl spoke confidently, "This ’House of Fate’ has another name, the House of Time Regression. As the name suggests, the flow of time here is the opposite of the outside world’s."
"Time reversal..."
"Yep. Spend a year here, and you actually go back to one year before in the outside world."
"So you’re saying, I went back several decades?!" Chen Yu’s face suddenly turned ugly.
