"It seems that everyone is getting along quite well."

Chi Yuan rested his head on Zhu Que's back, warmly embracing Shen Yulou and the baby.

"Yeah, they've been arguing like this and haven't gone back to their spaces yet. Looks like they still like being together."

The Taotie and the Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast's tails were intertwined, wrestling like they were competing to see who could pull the tails back and forth.

Bai Ze lay on the white crane's body, rubbing against its feathers; the two fluffy white creatures became one.

Nine-Headed Serpent has eight heads, each topped with a miniature Qilin, which it is now tossing around like a juggling toy.

"This is where we are now. Tomorrow we will go to this forest in the valley."

Shen Yulou, holding a map, discussed their next destination with Chi Yuan, the two talking back and forth.

"Wait a minute!"

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked at Chi Yuan with a questioning gaze.

"Isn't Bai Ze supposed to know everything in the world and be aware of all things in the past and future? Doesn't it know where the Chaos Spirit Orb is?"

Suddenly, Bai Ze, who had been tagged, peeked out from among the white crane's feathers.

"I can only know what Heaven wants me to know. How can I know what Heaven doesn't want me to know?"

Bai Ze yawned helplessly.

"All right."

Helpless, Shen Yulou continued to discuss with Chi Yuan.

The hushed conversations and the low growls of the contracted beasts created a rare atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

night

Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou were both asleep, but the little one woke up.

Without the restraint of their fathers' arms, the black fur coat easily became loose and baggy.

"Um?"

Are you going to sleep?

It's getting dark, time to go to sleep.

The little one knows he should be sleeping now, but he can't fall asleep; he's already awake.

The baby hugged his fluffy blanket, tried to close his eyes and count to three, but couldn't fall asleep.

The little one's bright, sparkling eyes darted around in the darkness; he had no idea what he was supposed to do.

"Snoring, snoring..."

Listening to the animals snoring, the little one kicked his feet and felt them getting warm.

Whose stomach is growling?

Shen Yulou opened her eyes groggily and realized it was the baby's belly that was making noises.

"My sweet baby's tummy is singing, how about you finish your milk and go back to sleep, okay?"

Um?

Was it the baby's tummy that was singing?

How come the little one doesn't know?

After quickly preparing the milk and putting the bottle into the baby's mouth, Shen Yulou closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep.

The baby had only taken two puffs when Grandma passed away.

Um?

The little meatball stared wide-eyed.

Where's Grandma? Where did the little one's grandma go? Gone?

That's all?

The little boy was utterly shocked, having no idea who had stolen his grandmother.

"Glug glug, glug glug..."

The familiar gurgling sound appeared again, and this time both Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan were awake.

"Hmm? Is the little one hungry?"

Chi Yuan looked at Shen Yulou with a confused expression, Shen Yulou looked at the little one with a confused expression, and the little one looked at his fathers with a confused expression.

"Didn't I just feed the baby's grandma? It's gone so quickly?"

Looking at the empty baby bottle, Shen Yulou fell into self-doubt.

"Are you not fully conscious? Did you feed them too little or not at all?"

Chi Yuan guessed.

Shen Yulou felt something was strange, so he bent down and kissed his baby.

"Honey, did you drink milk just now?"

The child nodded.

Drink up, little one, you're drinking grandma.

"Could it be that I'm not feeding them enough?"

"I'll feed you, you go to sleep first."

Even after lying down again, Shen Meiren still felt something was wrong, so she waited for Chi Yuan to prepare the formula and then stared at the baby herself.

I watched until the little one finished the whole bottle of milk.

"Finished your drink? Are you full?"

Shen Yulou touched the baby's round belly, thinking that it wouldn't cry now.

The little one let out a loud burp, his chubby body jiggling.

"Okay, sweetie, now that you're full, you can nibble on your paws. Daddy's going to bed."

The couple turned off the lights and went back to sleep.

The baby is still confused about who stole his grandma.
