Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 390 Like father, like daughter?

"Hm?" As Alex was about to pass the baby to Great TimeMaster, he suddenly shivered as he felt a cold, oppressive feeling on his skin. This feeling was akin to that of cold water dousing his body, which was obviously uncomfortable for him.

"This cold feeling is a sign of my Conqueror’s aura detecting an ’observer’. Hmm... so someone’s watching me right now." Alex thought to himself as his body visibly tensed. His eyes looked shiftily around him, as if he was trying to see something. "And from what I can feel, this observer of mine comes from an extremely far place. And this place was so far, that I can’t even pinpoint its exact location..."

"Is there a problem, Mr. Alex?" The Great TImeMaster, who looked visibly pleased as the baby got closer to her, asked this question as she saw the sudden change on Alex’s behavior. "Are you... planning to give another demand again?"

"Oh, don’t worry about me, Great TImeMaster. I just felt that someone’s peeking on me now. It’s not a big deal at all." Alex replied casually as he ignored the cold feeling on his back. "It will also pass."

"Someone powerful is spying on you? Well, you just have to deal with that. That’s not my problem anymore..." The Great TimeMaster said as she attempted to grab the baby that Alex was still holding. "Now, can you let me hold the baby already?"

"Okay okay! I’m giving the baby already. Tsk, can’t you even be a little more patient?" Alex grumbled as he placed the baby right into the waiting arms of the Great TimeMaster. He felt the weight of the baby disappear on his arms as the Great TimeMaster started tickling the baby’s nose.

"Who’s a good baby? Who’s that baby?" The Great TimeMaster said in a cooing tone as she continued on tickling the baby’s nose. "Is that you? Yes, that’s you! You’re a good baby!"

"Oi Great TImeMaster, I don’t think you should be waking up the baby that way..." Alex said as he started to look uncomfortable. "Trust me, you should just let that baby sleep."

"Why would I do that? When Annie was a baby before, she was an obedient baby that never cries even when she wakes up early. This baby will just be like Annie, so there’s no problem!" The Great TimeMaster replied confidently as she started to pinch the baby’s cheeks. "Oh... this baby is really adorable. It makes me remember my days of taking care of baby Annie..."

"..."

The efforts of the Great TimeMaster to wake the baby up seemed to have worked, as the tightly closed eyes of the baby slowly showed signs of opening.

A small crack appeared on the closed eyes of the baby, which signifies that it was having a progress on opening its eyes. The crack might be small, but it was visibly widening as time passed by , which was a good sign for the Great TimeMaster.

This engrossed the Great TimeMaster to continue tickling the baby, which resulted on the baby opening its eyes further.

A few more seconds of this bizarre scene continued before the Great TImeMaster stopped. There’s no need for her to tickle the baby anymore, as she had already reached her goal.

"..."

The baby’s eyes were now completely open, and they showed signs of awareness as the baby did not just stare blankly at the sky. Its bright, glistening eyes were focused on the Great TImeMaster alone, which made the latter shiver in delight.

"Your eyes are pretty, little baby. They look like the stars in the night sky." The Great TimeMaster breathed out as she appeared to be enchanted by the baby’s beautiful eyes. "With your eyes like that, I am sure that your heart is just as pure as Annie. Ah, Annie is really a good baby who loves cuddles! Do you want me to cuddle you? Please let me cuddle yo-"

"Can you shut your trap, you b**ch? I’m trying to get a sleep here!" Out of nowhere, the baby, who was just as silent as rock, suddenly spewed out these abusive words towards the stunned Great TimeMaster. "Tch, this is why I don’t like a nanny! Those damned people will just waste my time!"

"..."

"What? Why are you staring at me like that? Is this your first time seeing a beautiful baby like me? Hmph, people these days... They just don’t know what’s right or wrong!"

"..."

"Oi Papa! Why did you give me at this creepy woman? She looks like she wants to eat me! Oi Papa! Get me out of here!"

"Mr. Alex... what in the world is this baby talking about?" The Great TimeMaster, who looked extremely pleased while holding the baby earlier, now had a ghastly expression on her face after she heard the words that the baby just said. "Am I hearing things right?"

"Hey! How dare you doubt my words!" The baby, who seemed to be still not done speaking, gave the Great TimeMaster a murderous glare as it started to pummel the latter with its small fists. "You think I am just a hallucination? Hmph, are you on drugs? Papa, why don’t you just kick this woman away? She’s creeping me out!"

"..."

Seeing that the baby has continued to speak in a coarse manner, the Great TimeMaster became more stunned, that she had ignored the baby’s continued attempts to punch her.

She tried her best to smile at the baby, although the best that she could only do was to give it a twitching grimace.

"Sierra, even if I want to kick this woman away, I cannot do that with my current power." Alex replied as he ignored the amusing state that the Great TimeMaster was in. "Besides, I have a deal with her right now, so I cannot just dishonor it."

"Papa, is that deal related to me?" The baby, whose name was Sierra(If it’s Sierra, then the baby is a female, right?), said as she gave Alex a withering look. "Papa, is this about me helping out another soul like me? Ugh... can you please cut it out already? I just want to drink milk and sleep right now! I don’t want to work!"

"Sierra, you don’t really have to work. You just have to-"

"No! I don’t wanna! I don’ t wanna! I don’t wanna!"

"Sierra, please just-"

"I don’t wanna!"

"Sierra, I dare you continue whining like that. Let’s see if you can keep it up once I get angry with you." Alina, who only spoke litle since earlier, said these words in a cold tone as she glared frostily at Sierra. "Go on, keep that rebellious attitude of yours. Nobody here can stop you from whining, after all."

"Mama..."

"Don’t you Mama me right here, Sierra. Your body might be that of a baby, but your mind is already that of a grown-ass woman. You can already think independently by yourself!" Alina continued saying as she interrupted Sierra’s attempt to explain herself. "Didn’t your Papa tell you earlier that we will need your help here? From what I can remember, you quickly agreed at that time. But what are you doing now? You’re whining because you don’t want to do what you had agreed to do before? Sierra, are you really going to back out of your promise?"

"But Mama, I am hungry already! I want to drink milk!"

"If you want milk, then you could have just told it to me earlier." Alina said as the coldness in her tone lessened. "You did not have to whine like that. Look at your Papa. He’s now sad because of your actions! Do you want to make him sad?"

"Mama, I am okay with making Papa sad. He’s a tough guy, so he can resist it."

"Sierra...."

"Mama, I want my milk already!"

"Fine. I’ll give you your milk already. It’s almost dinnertime after all."

"Yay Mama! You really are the best! I wish Papa can be like you!"

"Sierra, it seems like I still have to teach you more things later..."

The angry Alina from earlier has now disappeared as only a fond, motherly look remained on her face while she talked to Sierra. Her oppressive ’tiger mom’ attitude was now gone, as she could be seen approaching Sierra with a warm glint in her eyes.

A bottle of milk appeared on her arms, which she quickly gave to the hungry-looking Sierra.

"Glug glug glug..."

Sierra did not waste any time as she started to gobble up the milk up, ignoring even the drops of milk that fell on her clothes and the ground.

She consumed the milk in an impossibly fast pace that before everyone could know it, all the milk was already gone.

All that remained was an empty bottle, and a clearly satisfied Sierra.

"Burp! Now that’s a high quality milk! Mama, do you still have more?"

"I have more, but you can only drink it later."

"There’s more? Can I drink it now?"

"If I said that you will drink it later, you will drink it later. Do you understand that, Sierra?"

"Okay Mama... I will drink it later."

"Good. Now that you have drank your milk, can you start helping the Great TimeMaster out?" Asteria said as she cleaned up Sierra’s messy face.

Even if Sierra was in the arms of the Great TImeMaster, Alina did not have any problems on cleaning Sierra up, as if this was just a normal thing for her to do.

"Mama... do I really need to do this? I don’t like this woman." Sierra replied, clearly pertaining to the Great TimeMaster. "What if she a bad uncle? I don’t want to stay with her!"

"Sierra, first of all, your Papa and I have already determined that the Great TimeMaster has no bad intentions on you. So be rest assured that you will be safe with her." Alina said with finality as she poked Sierra’s cheeks. "Do you not believe on us, Sierra? Do you not believe that we already did everything that we can to keep you safe? Do you doubt us that badly?"

"No Mama! I don’t doubt you like that! I just don’t like this woman because she woke me up rudely!"

"Well, that’s partly my fault, so don’t be angry at her."

"Okay Mama, I won’t blame her anymore."

"Good, so you will help her out now?"

"Yes Mama! I will do my best to help this trashy woman out!"

"Sierra, language."

"Did I say something wrong? Oh right, I should not have said that this woman is trashy in public. I should have kept it to myself!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Great TimeMaster, don’t look at me like that. Sierra just happened to be like this." Alina wryly said as she gave the Great TimeMaster an apologetic look. "Look, she already agreed to help you, so just bear with her okay? Just... tolerate what she says, and everything will be alright."
