The Heavenly Evolution Sect's aptitude selection also tests spiritual roots. Zhou Qiuqiu had already examined the immortal veins of the siblings, and both had superior aptitude. Only he, who had cultivated before but had his spiritual roots destroyed, was only rated as inferior in the current test.

But just getting the basics is enough.

Zhou Qiuqiu made grand promises to the siblings and their child, so the group, along with Qiuqiu, set off towards the Immortal Sect with renewed hope.

The result was exactly as Zhou Qiujiu expected.

However, Zhou Qiuqiu hesitated again when registering the roster.

Originally, this name was just a random name that a few children came up with on a whim.

But faced with the expectant gaze of her child, Zhou Qiuqiu gave up struggling.

Thus, Zhou Qiujiu's name was officially added to the roster.

The senior student registering Zhou Qiuqiu glanced at him and comforted him:

"It's okay. There are plenty of uncultured names out there, like Niu Dazhu or Chen Jinhua. Once you enter the inner sect, you can change your name according to the characters passed down from the sect, just like changing your stage name."

Zhou Qiujiu nodded, but didn't say anything about wanting to change.

When he looked down, he found that the cub had bristled again.

Baby: "Chirp, so cultured!"

"Chirp chirp chirp!" Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless!

He can even recite the Thousand Character Classic, and his father praises him as the smartest child!

The word "啾啾" is so meaningful; one "啾" can express all his tones, and it's super convenient for him to call Zhou Qiujiu!

How can this be considered a lack of culture!

Zhou Qiuqiu quickly patted the bird's back. He could see now that even such a small bird had a temper, and a really big one at that.

As they entered, the senior student specifically looked at the fluffy little guy and gave him a word of advice:

"If you're going to keep a pet, you can't let it poop everywhere, you know? It's quite cute, but unfortunately it's not a spirit pet. It's really difficult for ordinary animals to become spirit pets. I suggest you just go to the training grounds and catch one."

The child is angry, and I can't appease him.

How could someone be so discerning yet fail to recognize a bird?

Chu is clearly a divine beast!!!

Zhou Qiujiu was really afraid that the little guy would get angry. It was the first time she had seen the baby puff up into such a fluffy ball, with even its two bean-like eyes covered by the burst feathers. Without careful scrutiny, it was impossible to tell the front from the back.

Zhou Qiujiu was lucky she hadn't mistaken the baby. She turned the baby around so Ruoliufeng and Ruopiaoxue could praise the baby enthusiastically.

But this time, no amount of praise worked on the cub. Its pride was hurt.

The sect served dinner in the evening.

The boy looked at the standard two-meat-two-vegetable meal and shed tears of utter despair.

In particular, Zhou Qiujiu got him an extra portion.

The boy immediately stopped being angry and just focused on eating.

After finishing his meal, he even flew to the head of the senior student who was serving food and chirped, acting as if he were an innocent and adorable little animal.

Zhou Qiujiu: You don't need to work so hard.

He finally managed to snatch the cub back from his senior brother and told the cub that he would take it to eat even more delicious food in the future, so the cub would never have to please anyone.

Upon hearing this, a warm feeling slowly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

This must be what a sense of satisfaction feels like.

The father probably experienced this feeling often when he was raising him.

Zhou Qiuqiu had no idea what her son was imagining again, but her gaze towards him actually carried a hint of... affection?

Zhou Jiujiu angrily rubbed the baby's hairy bottom.

Only he could receive this honor, but Zhou Qiujiu usually wouldn't rub the baby's butt. Although it felt good, he always maintained a composed demeanor in front of the baby and didn't want to show his immature side. He would only rub it to vent his frustration when he was in a fit of anger.

With his long underwear all crumpled up, Qiu stretched out his legs and let Zhou Qiuqiu groom him. Sure enough, Zhou Qiuqiu still gave him a cold look while grooming his fur.

The boy knows Zhou Qiujiu really likes him and can't live without him. Just like how his dad still spoils him even when he's naughty.

After all, he is now Zhou Qiuqiu's divine beast master, isn't he just like family?

If Zhou Qiuqiu were to join his and his father's family in the future, he, as the head of the family, would have given his approval.

But where is Dad now?

The child was disappointed.

He rarely leaves his father for so long, so he must miss him a little.

But as a reliable mythical beast, I only have a tiny bit of desire for it.

The cub kept drawing its father on the ground with its paws.

Several blurry, black, evil-looking lumps were drawn.

Zhou Qiuqiu studied it for a while, then hesitated and gestured: This is... your kind?

The boy looked up at him, his expression even more sorrowful.

When you're missing someone, even a round figure can carry a hint of loneliness.

Zhou Qiuqiu looked at her son, who was as small as a glutinous rice ball, and sighed deeply. She couldn't quite figure out what was going through his little head all day long, as he was happy one moment and unhappy the next. He was such a small little dumpling, yet sometimes he seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships.

Zhou Qiujiu only hoped that her child would be happy from birth.

Having experienced a life of being disliked and humiliated, Zhou Qiujiu longed for this innocent and kind child to live in happiness and not have to endure the same pain as him.

Zai turned his head and saw Zhou Qiujiu looking at him. There was heartache, worry, and affection in her eyes, but no disgust or trouble.

He was genuinely grateful for the cub's presence in his life.

I don't know when, but my child has become a beacon of light that saves other people's lives.

The baby gently approached Zhou Qiuqiu, closed its beady eyes, and rubbed its body against Zhou Qiuqiu's face. The feeling of affection made both the baby and the chick lower their guard.
