Chaos City 37
When Ning Ren first awakened his spiritual power, he gave his tribesmen a burst of screaming fireworks. When his spiritual power was exhausted and he fell down, Asulin grabbed him.
After laughing enough, the tribesmen went back one after another. Some even took pictures with the phantom beads, intending to play them on a loop for the young master when he grows up. The scene must be very interesting.
Asulin looked down at the baby in his arms.
Ning Ren's cheeks were flushed, and the tip of his tail was still emitting silver flashes. The remaining mental strength was not enough to support him flying around in the sky, but it could still allow him to release small sparks at the tip of his tail.
When he heard the laughter of his tribesmen in the sky, he probably felt very embarrassed and pinched his tail angrily: "Shut up! Damn little idiot!"
Asulin was really amused this time. He had never laughed like this before, and his chest was vibrating slightly.
Ning Ren became even angrier and banged his head against his chest: "You stinky dad, you're laughing too!"
"Ahhh, Momo and Xixi all saw it. It's so embarrassing QAQ!" The little silver flower at the tip of the tail was still making a crackling sound. It seemed that the whole tail was shy and turned a little pink.
A Sulin managed to suppress his smile and tapped the child on the head. "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."
"Aren, this shows that you have great talent, even better than me. Come on, Daddy will teach you how to control it."
A Sulin carried the little boy, who was burying his head in his chest, back to the stone house. This time, he didn't dare give Ning Ren too much food. If his energy returned and he flew out again, embarrassing himself, the little boy would be sulking.
At such a young age, he still cares about face. I really don’t know who he learned this from.
"Aren, do you remember how you usually control Feifei... by listening to Fengmu?"
Ning Ren nodded.
"Here," Asulin pointed his finger at Ning Ren's heart, then slowly moved it up to his brow, "Does it feel warm when you put the little flower?"
"Uh-huh."
A Sulin patiently guided: "Just like controlling the listening wind tree, how you control it is how you control this mental power."
Silvertail Mirzai has a strong talent for space, but it is also difficult to control. However, after mastering it, his progress is much faster than other Mirzai.
Ning Ren made an engine-like sound: "Hmm"—
After trying for a long time, his figure flashed and appeared at the edge of the stone bed in the blink of an eye. He was stunned and hurriedly used his tail to hook the edge of the bed, but the tail hooked a gap in the edge of the bed.
Asulin quickly grabbed him and put him back on the bed.
"Your tail can now crush rocks. You need to learn to control the force. Take your time. Go to sleep tonight."
Xiao Chihua used up Ning Ren's last bit of mental energy. He had been tossing and turning for too long tonight and soon fell asleep on the bed without asking for a shower.
Asulin used a wet handkerchief to wipe his face, palms and soles of his feet, and that was it.
Today is the last time he will sleep with the little one. Tomorrow, some tribesmen will come in and make another small stone bed in the stone house. From now on, the two of them will have to sleep in separate beds. When A Ren is six or seven years old, they will have to sleep in separate rooms.
After doing all this, his eyes fell on the bird's nest above Ning Ren's head. The Guhuo bird was now only the size of two fingers. She covered her head with her wings, looking like a complete turtle.
Asulin picked her up through the handkerchief, sealed her mouth with his mental power before Guhuo Bird could curse, and then threw her to Si Mao.
Simao: "?"
The chief said calmly: "Don't you want to eat her? She is very nutritious, take her out and stew her. Just leave a bowl of the soup for A Ren, and the rest are all yours." Things that will corrupt children should not be left with A Ren.
Guhuo Bird was confused: "Huh?"
Si Mao: “!!!” It was afraid that Asulin would go back on his word, so it ran away with the Guhuo bird in its mouth.
I don’t have bird eggs to eat anymore, but bird soup or bird meat will be fine.
It's not picky.
-
The Mi tribe has a young master succession ceremony, which is held around the sacrificial light pillar. After the ceremony, the current young master will receive the blessings of the sacrificial light pillar and all the tribe members.
Ning Ren was too young before, so the succession ceremony was postponed. This ceremony is different from the Guangyu Feast. Only members of the same clan can participate. It is a ceremony for Ning Ren to be recognized by all the clan members.
Generally speaking, the succession ceremony takes three months to prepare, but now the circumstances are special, so everything has to be kept simple.
Asulin originally wanted to cancel the event, but the elders of the tribe disagreed.
The Mi people have passed down the rituals for such a long time, and it cannot be interrupted just like that. Being superstitious is unlucky, especially at this critical moment.
Besides, their Mi tribe has a young leader with outstanding talent, which is also beneficial to the tribe members' confidence in resisting Tianxiao.
In this case, the succession ceremony is being prepared in full swing, with the elders in charge, and they strive to complete it three days before the rift in the sky appears.
These have nothing to do with Ning Ren himself. He just needs to be a mascot on that day.
On the afternoon of the second day after awakening his spiritual power, Ning Ren completely recovered to the state before losing his tail, and had much more energy than before.
"Where's the little bird?" He touched the empty bird's nest above his head.
A Sulin: “…”
He calmly scooped a bowl of fragrant hot soup for Ning Ren and said, "Try this. From today on, you have to be weaned and eat the same breakfast as me."
"Be careful of the heat."
Ning Ren pulled the bowl over, scooped a little bit with a spoon, and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
"Wow, delicious." A wonderful salty taste exploded from his taste buds. It was much better than the lightly sweetened milk! He gulped it down and asked, "What kind of soup is this?"
A Sulin: "Bird soup."
The child paused: “?”
Suddenly, a big hole appeared in the window of the stone house, and a cat and a bird rushed in fighting. Cat's feathers and bird's feathers flew everywhere, instantly making the quiet morning full of smoke and chaos.
In order to prevent Ning Ren from learning any more dirty words, they cursed each other in cat language and bird language.
The Guhuo Bird seized the opportunity, and with a flash of purple-green spiritual power on its body, it quickly landed on Ning Ren's head, provoking and cursing Si Mao.
Si Mao was so angry that he arched his back.
Ning Ren quickly protected the soup in his bowl to avoid it getting touched by the flying hairs.
A Sulin: "Quiet."
The stone house suddenly became quiet.
A Sulin: "Eat. After eating, go out and practice controlling your mental power. Only after you learn how to control it can you go out and find other friends."
Ning Ren buried his head in eating.
After he finished eating, he ran outside and practiced controlling his mental power according to the method that Asulin told him yesterday. Inside the stone house, Asulin frowned and looked at the Guhuo bird that was still above Ning Ren's head outside the house.
"Is she back to normal?"
Si Mao: "Obviously not."
"I was originally planning to stew her, but when the water boiled, her spiritual power suddenly rose to the Void Realm, which immediately shook me away, and then we started fighting..."
"But she is still unconscious, and her strength is very unstable. Sometimes she is in the Void Realm, and sometimes in the Star Realm."
A Sulin: "She seems to be quite friendly towards A Ren."
Si Mao rolled his eyes silently, thinking that he would not be able to eat the bird meat this time. "It's okay, sometimes you can teach your son to scold me."
A Sulin: “…”
Si Mao: "If Ye Lu is willing to protect the young master, then let her stay. In troubled times, just treat it as an extra mentally unstable bodyguard who may have occasional seizures but doesn't need any money."
Asulin was silent for a few seconds, then reached out to grab the bird that was laughing above Ning Ren's head. After struggling for a long time, he gave up.
...If you can curse, then curse.
This will save him from having to go back and cry when he meets an opponent and can't scold him.
A Sulin sighed softly: "Try to let her teach you something good."
Si Mao cast an incredulous look at him.
Are there good things about swearing?!
-
The crib in the stone house was prepared quickly and was equipped with a matching three-piece bedding set to protect the cub's skin and create an extremely comfortable sleep.
Asulin placed his palm on it and touched it, then straightened the pillow and waved to the child who was still diligently practicing controlling his mental power after taking a bath.
"Come and sleep."
Ning Ren came running over happily.
"Will Ah Ren sleep alone from now on?"
"Well," Asulin advised him, "You may not be used to it at first, but you will get used to it slowly."
Ning Ren crawled under the covers of his small bed and patted the book "A Century of Continental History" beside his pillow: "Let's listen to a story today too."
A Sulin: “Yeah.”
He has read this book three times, but every time Ning Ren listened very carefully and fell asleep after listening to a story.
After Ning Ren fell asleep, Asulin went to the big bed to rest.
Children need their parents to guide their mental strength, so he spent most of his time today at the Old Stone. Seeing that A Ren can already practice on his own, he can't stay here tomorrow. There are still many things in the City of Chaos that need his personal attention.
midnight.
A Sulin suddenly opened his eyes and walked to the small bed.
He looked at the Guhuo Bird, which was pulling the quilt that Ning Ren had kicked off, in confusion.
The way Guhuo Bird rolled its eyes was quite similar to Simao's. It held the corner of the quilt to cover the child's belly and taunted him with a small whisper:
"You've been away for so long and just came back. Unlike me, I only learned how to tuck my cub in."
"Oh~~ You sleep in a separate bed, unlike me, who can still be close to the baby." The word "oh" was so convoluted and annoying.
A Sulin: “…”
Although it was very difficult to understand, he did feel like his child was taken away at this moment.
This feeling would make any parent feel uncomfortable.
He suppressed the irritability and invisible panic rising in his heart, and the blood knot in his chest, which had weakened a lot, flickered slightly.
At this moment, he actually had the idea of strengthening the blood knot again.
The quiet night infinitely breeds and amplifies the desire for control, and Asulin is almost about to take action.
The cub on the bed turned over, scratched its belly, and slept soundly. It didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all after sleeping in separate beds. Instead, it looked more comfortable.
Asulin suddenly woke up and took half a step back, and the dark silver mental power condensed in his palm dissipated instantly.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
What is he doing?
Even if the Blood Source Knot is strengthened, the power of the seal will still dissipate, and in the end, it will disappear without leaving any trace.
Asulin's first reaction was that Ye Lu had done something to him, but he dismissed this speculation the next second.
He returned to his bed and remembered something the second elder of the clan had told him.
Withdrawal period.
After the cub is five years old, as the blood bond weakens, the withdrawal period will inevitably come.
The reason why the blood knot disappears slowly instead of being broken all at once is also because of the withdrawal period.
Before the bloodline bond is established, both parents will get used to the existence of the bloodline bond in their daily lives. When the heart gets used to feeling the presence and breath of the cub at all times, once the bloodline bond weakens, panic and irritability will arise in the heart.
Therefore, the two years between the ages of five and seven are the time for the cubs to gradually become independent, and also the time for parents to quit.
The second clan elder once said that the blood bond between him and A Ren was much deeper than the average blood bond.
Asulin lay back down on the bed, his mind a little confused.
He thought that with his personality, there would be no withdrawal period.
But now it seems that his withdrawal period has clearly arrived, and it is very serious... He just noticed it.
