Lin Che broke off a piece of Moon Essence and made a transparent little nest for the toad, then tied it back with a red string and hung it around Zhao Xixiang's neck.
The Moonlight Nest can change according to her growth.
The newly transformed toad was only the size of a thumb, about the size of an old pearl necklace.
It hung coldly on her chest, and it took a while for it to warm up.
The little toad seemed very unhappy, kicking the wall and hopping around in front of Zhao Xixiang's chest, letting out a loud croak.
Zhao Xi wanted to gently stroke the outer shell of the Moonlight Nest with her fingertips. She thought that it was fine to keep calling it Little Toad and Little Mermaid, but she needed to give it a name. So she started to struggle and asked Lin Che, "What should we name our child?"
"You think of it." Lin Che smiled faintly, his smugness seemingly hidden.
Zhao Xi then posed this difficult question to the little mermaid: "What do you want to be called?"
The little mermaid got angry: "Quack quack!" I want something nicer to sound!
Zhao Xi nodded: "Okay, then let's call him Guagua."
The little mermaid wept a river in her moonlit nest.
It's bad enough that her father tricked her, but her mother tricked her too!
Why do they both like to bully children?
What did she do wrong?
She shouldn't have been born!
She is about to retreat back into the primordial chaos, shrinking into a tiny flame!
Zhao Xi tried to comfort her, saying, "It's just a nickname, you can call me anything, like how Sister Meimei changed her name to Tongyue. You can choose a nice-sounding one yourself later. Besides, simple names are easier to raise. If the ghost messengers come to collect people, a whole bunch of toads will be croaking. When they call out a name, they'll have to choose from a whole bunch of croaking toads, so you can grow up safely. Right?"
Lin Che, with a teasing smile that said, "As expected of my wife, she has truly inherited my cunning," bowed to Zhao Xi.
The little mermaid ignored them, blew a bubble in her little nest, and began to withdraw into herself.

The town of Wulingtang has grown to a considerable size, and just a few days ago it was renamed Seven Colors Town, meaning that the seven-colored fairy fruit is rich in spiritual energy.
The newly opened teahouse is located right in the middle of the long street, in an excellent location.
Across the street is a pharmacy with a notice board at the entrance, and next to it is a meditation room.
Any immortal who comes to the town will definitely pass by the teahouse.
Lin Che wore a bamboo hat and changed the color of his clothes back to white, pretending to be an immortal from elsewhere.
Zhao Xi also covered herself up completely.
This trip was for fun. Everyone knows her, and if we try to get close to her, our date will turn into a patrol or official business, which would be too boring.
"Luo Haiqing is very business-minded. He even sent a storyteller inside to tell gossip about the immortal realm all day long."
Lin Che nodded, took her hand, and said gently, "I don't know much about making money. If you think it's good, then it's good."
Zhao Xi nodded: "It's good if I can earn spirit stones!"
Let the spirit pet rest for another day. Tomorrow it will return to the Middle Immortal Realm to retrieve ingredients from Brother Qian. She will then have to teach Brother Qian how to cook, and he will also provide the defensive array materials needed by the Five Spirits Hall.
Each shipment cannot contain too much, and some will be lost en route.
But this is the only way for now.
In fact, teahouses have always been places for exchanging information.
Some sects are afraid of offending people, so they can only secretly bribe the shopkeeper with this kind of gossip. Inside information can be bought in secret.
If someone investigates and finds no evidence, they will be reluctant to pursue the matter further out of consideration for others.
But the Hundred Beasts Garden isn't even afraid of the Demonic Sect, so how could it be afraid of other sects?
These rumors were then made public by the storyteller, who even allowed everyone to chime in and add their own comments. With everyone contributing, false information was quickly clarified, while true information spread the fastest.
Even immortals eventually leave; they won't stay in the teahouse all day long. But the teahouse owner can gather all the information he needs.
Because the town was newly opened, people had been sent to various towns and cities to promote it in the past few days, and a couple of auctions had been held. On the day that Luo Haiqing invited Zhao Xixiang to come, it was actually the day with the most immortals.
When entering the teahouse, Zhao Xi wanted to secretly reveal her identity to the owner.
The innkeeper then had the waiter lead them to the vacant No. 1 private room.
Lin Che: "Luo Haiqing is really sensible. It's good that you let him go."
Zhao Xi thought, "That's right. I've always been lucky in terms of interpersonal relationships, and I'm pretty good at judging people."
The private room was filled with the pleasant aroma of incense.
Realizing that aromatherapy could help hibernating demonic beasts overcome their inner demon illusions, Tu Xiaoxian Tong devoted her free time to developing it. Later, seeing that there were more cultivators in the Five Spirits Hall, she also trained several perfumers to share her workload.
Luo Haiqing actually used this aromatherapy in a place like this.
Not long after I sat down, the ostentatious and chaotic aura around me seemed to be washed away.
Zhao Xi calmed down, focusing her mind and breathing, and the noise from the lobby and surroundings no longer bothered her.
That's true. If you want to hear gossip anyway, you can't set up a soundproof barrier. The immortals didn't study soundproofing methods very thoroughly, so using aromatherapy is just too clever.
"...If the leader of the Star Gate is a former disciple of the Hundred Beasts Garden, how could he do such an absurd thing? How could he lay a hand on his adopted daughter?"
Zhao Xi frowned, glanced out the window at the immortal in the hall, and asked, "?"
The immortal was a stranger; it was unclear where Luo Haiqing had found him. However, it was a few cultivators who were merely observing from the sidelines who uttered these words.
Their current topic of conversation is actually the Demon Sect Star Gate, and they've even mentioned Hoshino.
What about the adopted daughter?
Someone chimed in, "This traitor is incredibly audacious. Even we immortals must abide by the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues. If he violates ethics, what will happen when he encounters inner demons during his tribulation? Won't he be quickly reduced to ashes?"
"Have you been in seclusion for eight hundred years? Do you even know what the Demonic Sect is? If those demons could cultivate, I'd cut off my head and give it to you to eat like a melon!"
