Shu Jianyue coughed lightly and said, "His name is Chongjiu. He's Yuchuan and Yanxi's father. You can call him whatever you want."

Kongming nodded and said, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Uncle Jiu."

"Pfft..." Shu Jianyue suppressed her laughter that was about to burst out.

Uncle Jiu!

She's even worse than her aunt.

Chong Jiu looked at her helplessly, thinking that as long as she was happy.

"But why the surname Shu?" Shu Jianyue asked Chong Jiu.

Kongming replied, "The surname Shu is quite good. This humble monk... I don't even know what my surname is. I am very grateful that Aunt Yue is willing to let me have the surname Shu."

Chong Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shu Jianyue.

Since even Shu Jianyue and Kong Ming themselves had no objections, what else could she say? The surname Shu wasn't exclusive to her.

I just didn't expect that Kongming, this naive young man, would be so eloquent.

"Kongming, you are a monk, do you still remember the precepts? You can play around, but you can't break the precepts you must follow."

After all, they were the ones who brought him out, and it was Yuchuan who took him out to play, so they couldn't let him break the rules.

Otherwise, even if you're right, you'll end up being wrong.

Kong Ming nodded, "Little one, cough, of course I wouldn't dare forget."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Alright, you and Yuchuan go have fun."

"Yu'er, he hasn't been out and about much, so please take good care of him, okay?"

Yuchuan nodded vigorously, "Mother, then I'll take Wuyan with me too."

Shu Jianyue thought that Wu Yan had been busy cultivating these past few days, and it was time for him to go out for a walk and relax.

"Go ask him. If he's unwilling, don't force him."

Yu Chuan nodded, grabbed Kong Ming, and ran off.

Shu Jianyue turned to Yan Xi and asked, "Aren't you going to play with us?"

Yan Xi shook her head, "I feel like I'm about to break through, so I'm going into seclusion to try it out."

"Really?" She and Yuchuan had both broken through not long ago, but she didn't expect them to break through again so soon.

Shu Jianyue gave her many more spiritual fruits, "Mother has some Spirit-Soothing Fruits here, would you like to take one to keep on hand?"

Yan Xi shook her head and said, "No need, Mother. These spiritual fruits are enough. Using the Spirit-Soothing Fruit would only be a waste."

Chong Jiu said, "It's not a waste, the spiritual energy it contains is quite good, but its effects are of little use to you."

With their pure bloodlines, they have absolutely no need to take the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit to improve their physique; taking it only strengthens their spiritual energy and has no other effect.

Yan Xi was aware of all this, which is why she said it would be a waste for her to use it.

Shu Jianyue stopped taking them after hearing this. Although the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual fruit was not as great as that of the Fushen Fruit, eating more of it could still replenish the energy. So she took a few more baskets of spiritual fruit for Yan Xi.

The reason why Yan Xi and Yu Chuan were able to break through so quickly was largely due to the spiritual fruit, and Shu Jianyue was very generous in giving them the spiritual fruit.

After talking for a while, Yan Xi returned to her palace to go into seclusion.

After she left, Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Won't there be any problems with the two children breaking through so quickly?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "No, I checked their cultivation foundation and spiritual veins, and there are no problems."

"Moreover, they need to grow up quickly, otherwise when we go up there, we may not be able to take care of them at all times."

Shu Jianyue nodded in agreement, then looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Once you find Chen Xin, you should be able to fight him, right?"

Chong Jiu pondered for a moment before saying, "While we may not be able to completely counter him, at least he won't dare to act rashly."

After all, given his presence, unless the other party resorts to underhanded tactics, they can't do anything to him.

That person didn't dare to openly harm him, firstly because Zhuzhao and Youying had just been extinguished, and secondly because his status was no lower than that person's.

Shu Jianyue nodded. "Then once you find another Chen Xin, you can remove the seal."

Chong Jiu thought for a moment and said, "No rush, let's see how things go later."

Shu scratched his chin and said, "I just want to break through as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be too passive."

Chong Jiu lifted her onto his lap and sat her down, resting his chin on the crook of her neck, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"No matter what, I will make sure nothing happens to you."

If it weren't for their existence, he wouldn't really care whether he came out or not; the only thing he was angry about was the betrayal of the guardian beast.

Shu Jianyue turned her head and gently stroked his cheek soothingly, her eyes sharp as she looked outside. "I have a spatial ability; I can bring them in. So no matter what, you must protect yourself first. Otherwise, I'm willing to destroy everything the other person cares about..."

Chong Jiu sensed the murderous intent in her tone, so he hugged her and turned her around to face him, looking into her eyes and saying, "Yueyue, I will support whatever you want to do, but I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

"It's impossible for him to kill me unless I want to. Even if heaven and earth cannot tolerate me, they cannot destroy me."

"So, protecting yourself is protecting me, okay?"

Shu Jianyue nodded with red eyes, stroked his angular face, and replied in a low, hoarse voice, "Okay."

"If you take care of yourself, you are protecting our world, so you can't get hurt either, understand?"

"Okay." Chong Jiu pressed his forehead against hers in response, looked at her moist eyes, kissed her and said, "Yueyue, have I ever told you that I love you very much?"

Shu Jianyue shook her head with her eyes slightly closed. "No, but I've always known."

Chong Jiu held her tightly in his arms, his heart surging with passion. He waved to close the door to the bedchamber, then casually set up a formation before carrying Shu Jianyue into the inner room.

When Tiankong came to find Shu Jianyue, he saw the tightly closed palace doors and blinked several times.

"Where is the master? Didn't he stay here? Why is the bedroom door closed?"

Xiong Ziqi, who came with him, glanced at him, turned around and said, "Let's go, come again tomorrow, the master is busy."

Sky glanced at the tightly closed doors of the sleeping quarters and asked, "Is the master in seclusion?"

"How come you know, but I don't?"

He didn't seem to care whether Xiong Ziqi answered or not, and then asked, "Isn't Master usually not in seclusion? Why is he in seclusion today?"

Xiong Ziqi's lips twitched. This silly monkey probably hasn't fully matured yet.

She turned to look at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Why don't you ask her after the master comes out?"

Sky could see the wickedness in his tone and slapped him across the face. "Get lost, how dare you make fun of me."

Xiong Ziqi shook his head and flew away quickly, after all, Zhu Yan's slap wasn't easy to bear.

Sky scratched his head, glanced back at the door of the bedchamber, as if he understood, widened his eyes, and then teleported away in a flash.

He cursed himself inwardly for being stupid, wondering why he couldn't think straight, and how that old, dumb bear was laughing at him.

They're probably secretly laughing to themselves right now.

Thinking it over, Tiankong chased after Xiong Ziqi in the direction he had left.
