Jian Zhen was a twin immortal herb. In an unexpected turn of events, he landed on the spiritual mountains of both the Immortal and Demonic realms. When Jian Zhen slowly developed sentience, he had ...
The two sides of the little devil
The baby cried for a while when he was born, but this time was the time when he cried the most.
Jian Zhen was a new dad and had no idea how to coax a child. He held the child and rocked him to amuse him, but the little baby just cried so hard, so Jian Zhen just looked at Ye Jisheng for help.
After Ye Jisheng received the request for help, the omnipotent Demon God was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and said, "Is there a possibility that he is hungry?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
I looked back at the little baby who was about to faint from crying.
Thinking about the fact that I have not had a drop of water since I was born, it is hard not to doubt the authenticity of this matter. At least from the current point of view, it is very likely.
Jane really remembered that the maid had put a pot of milk in front of her bedside before she gave birth to the baby. At that time, he didn't know what the milk was used for, but now he suddenly realized.
Ye Jisheng handed the small milk bottle to Jian Zhen.
Jian Zhen put the milk bottle next to the baby's mouth. The little guy stopped crying after his mouth touched the milk. He drank the milk carefully bit by bit. His tear marks were not dry yet, but he drank very hard.
Seeing him like this, Jian Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Zhen said: "It turns out that he was just hungry, not that he didn't like the name."
Ye Jisheng: "..."
The Demon Lord chose to remain silent.
Anyway, as long as Xiaocao is happy, it's fine.
The child in Jian Zhen's arms drank milk for a while and felt full, so he shook his head and stopped eating. Seeing this, he took the milk bottle and put it back on the table. Seeing that the child looked a little sleepy, he prepared to put him back to bed.
Who knows.
Almost as soon as he left his arms and touched the bed, the little guy started crying again as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jane was really stunned.
Xiaocao was at a loss, having no experience at all.
The crying of the young child echoed in the hall and it was of no use even if he patted him. Who could have thought that this demon god, who was feared by all three realms for his birth, would be a little kid who would cry when he was away from his father's arms.
Jian Zhen subconsciously turned around and looked at Ye Jisheng.
The tall Demon Lord raised his eyebrows. Neither of them had ever had a child. He thought for a moment and said, "Should I cast a silent spell for him?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
Isn't this a very hardcore way to stop a child from crying? !
Jian Zhen choked up and asked, "Is there a better way?"
Ye Jisheng said calmly: "Two silent spells."
Jane glared at him angrily.
The Demon Lord finally gave up the silent spell. His tall body stood beside the bed and looked at the child in front of him. He opened his lips and said, "Leave him to the nurse."
In fact, the Demon Palace had already prepared a wet nurse, but because there was a natural calamity here, no one could survive here, so there was a river of blood outside at this moment, and no one could get close to the Demon Palace.
Jian Zhen was looking at the little baby who was crying so hard that he was about to get a stitch in his side, and was just hesitating.
suddenly--
Jian Zhen thought of something. Xiaocao turned around and took out a box from under his pillow. He pressed the buckle of the box and the lid opened. Inside the topaz brocade box, an emerald green bracelet was lying quietly. He dripped a drop of his own blood, then took Ye Jisheng's hand and dripped a drop of blood into it.
When the blood of the two people seeped into the bracelet, the entire bracelet began to tremble slightly.
The dry vines were bunched together, with red faintly visible among them. Jian Zhen lifted up the child's hand and put the bracelet on him. The dark red texture spread out, surrounding the entire bracelet little by little, and finally formed a ring, completely imprinted on the little baby's hand.
Jane really said, "I put it on."
The child who was crying just now seemed to feel the slight itchy touch on his wrist. The little baby stopped crying, and his dark eyes looked at the person in front of him who was putting the bracelet on him.
Jian Zhen looked into his eyes. At that moment, he seemed to feel the miracle of life. He smiled, bent down and kissed the child on the forehead, and said softly, "Xiaohong, may you have a smooth life."
The young baby couldn't understand these words.
She just blinked after being kissed, feeling a little itchy, and revealed a soft, crisp and childish smile.
Jane Zhen also laughed.
The baby might be tired of crying. After drinking milk and being coaxed for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Jian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at Ye Jisheng and said, "He's asleep."
Ye Jisheng nodded.
The man was covered in blood. He just glanced at Jian Zhen and the child on the bed, then turned around and left.
But Jian Zhen held his hand.
Ye Jisheng looked back, his red eyes clearly reflecting the appearance of the person beside him. The tall man's cold face was stained with a few traces of blood, and it was hard to tell whether it was his own blood or splashed on him.
Jian Zhen took out another bracelet from the box. It was a turquoise bracelet, but its style was more elegant than the one for the doll. He dripped his own blood into it, and then used a gentle healing spell to gently take a drop of blood from the sleeping doll next to him. Because the action was quick and painless, the doll was not woken up.
Jian Zhen merged both drops of blood into the bracelet, and the entire bracelet glowed red.
Jian Zhen took Ye Jisheng's hand and put the bracelet on his wrist. He said, "Now you have it."
Just like.
Not long ago.
When he asked about Ye Jisheng's bracelet, Ye Jisheng said: I don't have it.
Jian Zhen held Ye Jisheng's hand and whispered, "I know you may not care about these things, but if others have them, I want you to have them too."
Ye Jisheng lowered his eyes and saw a green ring on his wrist. It was a soul seal, a ring that only close, blood-related family members could wear. It was a fusion of the baby's blood and Jian Zhen's blood, and was quietly buckled on his wrist.
It's windy and rainy outside.
The ground was in a mess and the thunder and lightning had just ended.
The ground was a river of blood, just like that nameless night tens of millions of years ago, when a young child was lying on a tattered mat crying, with his parents dying beside him. No one coaxed him to sleep, no one put a ring on him when he was just born. There were only endless rainy days, clouds that would not dissipate, and the endless cold wind, as if an indelible shadow had accompanied the child's life.
And one day a thousand years later.
The little child's empty wrist waited for his bracelet.
Jian Zhen said, "I heard from Yan Ji that the bracelets of your demon clan can only be worn by relatives. Now that you have put them on, you will no longer be without relatives. The baby and I are your family."
Talking and talking.
Jian Zhen looked at her wrist and said, "It seems that I am the only one who doesn't have it, but I am not one of your demons, so I shouldn't be able to wear it, right?"
Ye Jisheng said: "You have."
Jian Zhen was stunned, and Xiao Cao was a little confused: "Ah, I have it?"
When did he get it? His wrist is clearly empty.
Ye Jisheng pulled his wrist over, and a red soul ring appeared on Jian Zhen's wrist. He said, "I have already given it to you."
Jian Zhen said: "But this is not made up by Teng Zhi."
"Yes." Ye Jisheng said, "This is made with my soul seal. Non-demons can also wear it. As long as you wear this, no matter what danger you are in, I can feel it."
Jian Zhen didn't expect it to have such advanced functions. He said, "What about your bracelet? The one I made for you, does it also have this function? Can I sense it?"
Ye Jisheng, his red eyes fell on Jian Zhen, and said meaningfully: "Maybe there will be."
Jane was stunned: "Ah?"
What does maybe mean?
If it exists, it is there, and if it doesn’t exist, it isn’t there. Don’t bully it just because it’s a grass!
next day
After the storm subsided that night, the entire Demon Clan's hall was bathed in blood. Jian Zhen, who had just given birth to a baby, slept soundly for two days. During that time, the Demon Clan's wet nurse took care of the child. Ye Jisheng rarely appeared during Jian Zhen's sleep. He had lost a lot of energy that night and had been in seclusion recuperating.
After Jian Zhen felt better, she went to see her children.
When the wet nurses saw Jian Zhen coming, they looked relieved as if they had seen a living Bodhisattva.
Jian Zhen said: "What's wrong?"
Yan Ji was assigned as a guardian to protect the little prince. She explained, "Because the little prince is very energetic and makes a lot of noise, the nurses can't comfort him no matter how hard they try."
Jian Zhen was a little surprised and said, "But he is very well behaved."
Everyone was looking at the girl in Jian Zhen's arms. She had grown up a lot in the past two days, with round black eyes. She was so well-behaved in Jian Zhen's arms that she even smiled when Jian Zhen poked her face.
Jane's heart melted, and she exclaimed, "How cute!"
Yan Ji and others were strangely silent for a moment.
finally.
Under the gazes of several nurses, Yan Ji took the initiative to approach Jian Zhen and whispered tentatively: "How about you leave the little prince here for a while, and then sneak back to see him?"
Jian Zhen blinked: "Is it necessary to do this?"
Yan Ji nodded seriously.
So Jian Zhen coaxed the baby in her arms to sleep with half belief and half doubt, then put him down and left the bedroom in small steps.
As a result, before he could walk far, when he secretly came back, the whole bedroom erupted with the shocking crying of little babies. The wet nurses tried to coax the babies in panic, but the babies in their arms ignored them at all. When they were in bed, their tender little fists even landed on the edge of the bed, breaking the entire bed and leaving cracks.
Jane Zhen widened her eyes in surprise.
this……
How come the little guy has so much energy?
Yan Ji whispered in his ear: "Because the little prince is born with a divine body, his own strength is different from that of ordinary people even without training. Now the prince is still young and can't control his own strength unconsciously. Two nurses were sent to the hospital yesterday."
Jian Zhen: “…”
Xiaocao was stunned.
What did the wet nurses endure while he was sleeping soundly?
Seeing the baby in the cradle crying non-stop, Jian Zhen took a big step into the hall. When his breath got closer, even before he reached the bed, the crying of the baby subsided.
When the nanny saw him coming, she felt like she had seen a savior.
Jian Zhen stretched out her hand: "Give it to me."
The little guy's tears were still there. When he saw Jian Zhen, he hummed a few times in his tender baby voice, hiccuped, and stopped crying.
Jian Zhen wiped away his tears with her fingertips and said softly, "Don't cry, Xiaohong. It's Daddy's fault. Daddy was busy sleeping and didn't accompany you."
The little baby couldn't understand what he said, but the touch of Jian Zhen's gentle fingers across his face was as soothing as a feather. He could smell a pleasant scent of grass on Jian Zhen's body, which had always been by his side. This smell made him feel at ease. The noisy little devil quieted down and fell asleep again with Jian Zhen's gentle coaxing.
Yan Ji said from behind: "Your Highness has been crying after waking up these past few days. We dare not disturb your rest, so we can only let several nurses take turns to coax you."
Jian Zhen said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will take him back to the bedroom and keep him by my side."
Yan Ji quickly asked: "How can this be possible?"
Jian Zhen was puzzled and asked: "Why not?"
Yan Ji was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly said, "Taking care of a child is the most tiring thing. How could the Lord personally take care of a child?"
"He's very well behaved and doesn't require much worry." Jian Zhen said, "It's okay. You can arrange for someone to live next to the bedroom. When I'm tired, you can come and help me coax him. As long as I'm around, he won't make a fuss."
Yan Ji said: "Then Lord Demon..."
Jane Zhen said without hesitation: "He will agree."
Although this is a world of cultivation, Jian Zhen still feels that raising a child is the job of both husband and wife. It is not only his responsibility but also Ye Jisheng's responsibility. Only the two of them together can raise the child well.
So.
Five days later, the Demon Lord came out of seclusion.
The once majestic Demon God's Temple has changed beyond all recognition. Various doll supplies, soft carpets and small toys for babies are placed on the tables in the temple. The air is filled with a faint scent of milk and the laughter of young children can be heard from time to time.
The guards and wet nurses outside knelt down and saluted.
When Ye Jisheng stepped in, he saw Jian Zhen sitting on the edge of the bed playing with a small flying bird toy for the child.
Jian Zhen used magic to make the little wooden bird fly. The little baby lying on the bed got excited and waved his arms. The little wooden bird turned into ashes out of thin air.
Ye Jisheng was standing not far away and saw Xiaocao giving him a resentful look.
Jian Zhen said: "Xiaohong is quite wasteful of toys."
Ye Jisheng curled his lips and smiled.
Jian Zhen asked: "Were you like this when you were a child?"
Ye Jisheng said: "I didn't have any toys when I was a child."
Just finished.
The little baby on the bed was whimpering and about to cry because the little bird was gone. The fluctuation of God's power caused the bottle on the cabinet not far away to shake, and it seemed that it was about to be crushed and disappear again.
Ye Jisheng waved his hand lightly and dispersed the force.
The little baby was lying on the bed. Ye Jisheng walked over to him. He bent his tall body slightly and pointed his slender finger at the center of the child's brow. In an instant, the bed curtains around him fluttered without wind and then slowly fell down.
Jane really asked: "What did you do?"
Ye Jisheng withdrew his hand: "It has temporarily sealed his power. When he has the ability to control this power, it will naturally be unsealed."
Jian Zhen said: "The nurses will be happy to hear this."
Ye Jisheng glanced at him sideways: "Are you unhappy?"
Jian Zhen stretched and said, "I'm fine. Although he can't control his strength, he is a sensible child and has never hurt me."
Ye Jisheng sneered slowly: "He dares."
Jian Zhen: “…”
The boss really doesn't recognize any relatives.
Jian Zhen focused his attention on Ye Jisheng and asked, "How is your recovery going?"
Ye Jisheng's face looked better than before. He nodded calmly: "It's okay."
Jane really said: "Are you really okay?"
He still remembers how much blood he lost that day.
Ye Jisheng sat down on the chair next to him. The man's dark robe fell on the soft cushion. His handsome and cold temperament seemed to be out of tune with the surroundings, yet unusually harmonious. His red eyes fell on Jian Zhen, and he curled his lips and said, "If gods died so easily, those old guys in the Three Realms wouldn't have to rack their brains every day."
Jian Zhen also felt that there was some truth to it. Apart from anything else, Lord Demon, your setting is just like that of a villain. As people say, a scourge will last for thousands of years!
Just thinking about it.
Ye Jisheng said, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Jian Zhen was shocked. He asked, "Do you have the ability to read minds?"
"So it's true." Ye Jisheng narrowed his eyes, smiled in an ambiguous way and said, "What are you scolding me for?"
Jane really said: "I hope you live longer."
Ye Jisheng’s smile faded.
Jian Zhen turned around and teased the child and said, "I drew a few blueprints when I was free during the day. Can you see if you can find a craftsman to make them?"
Ye Jisheng saw a blueprint on the cabinet, picked it up and looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"
"The baby's crib." Jian Zhen came over and pointed at the rocking bed on the picture and said, "Put this next to our bed so it's convenient for him to sleep. This is a stroller. I carry him when I go out to play. Sometimes he falls asleep and my arms get sore after holding him for so long. And this..."
Ye Jisheng listened and frowned, "Why are you taking care of the baby yourself? Where's the nurse?"
Jian Zhen said: "The nurse will help, but we still have to take care of him ourselves. He will cry if we leave him alone."
Ye Jisheng put the blueprint down and sneered, "He is the one who will inherit the position of Demon Lord. How can he be of great use if he clings to others like this?"
Jian Zhen said softly, "What's the point of having such a big one? He's still young. He's just a kid. He doesn't understand the Three Realms, nor does he understand the position of the Demon Lord. I know what you said, and I know you're doing it for his own good. Since he's destined to be a flower that bears these responsibilities when he grows up, I definitely can't change that. I also know that I'm just a little grass and can't help him or anything."
It's very quiet inside.
Jian Zhen sat next to Ye Jisheng, the candlelight falling on his gentle face. He said softly, "But he is still young now. I can only hope that he can grow up safely and happily."
There was silence inside the temple. Outside the temple, the night was dark and the wind was blowing.
Jian Zhen glanced at the person next to her and smiled slightly: "I know, this is what you want, right?"
Ye Jisheng was silent for a moment, then said lazily, "I don't have the time to restrict a child's interests."
Jian Zhen laughed even more happily. He shook Ye Jisheng's arm and said, "Then let's go and customize the baby's rocking bed tomorrow!"
Ye Jisheng asked, "He doesn't want to sleep on the bed now?"
Jian Zhen thought about it and said, "That's fine, but if he sleeps on the other side, there won't be enough space on the bed for you to sleep. Are you sure you don't want to use a rocking bed for your baby?"
Ye Jisheng: "..."
There was silence for a moment.
In the candlelight, Jane really winked at him and smiled.
