Hello, are you awake, little one?
Chi Yuan appeared next to Zai Zai at some point, wishing he could stick his eyes to Zai Zai.
Goodnight, Dad!
The little one rolled over, resting his chubby face on his hands and staring blankly.
I want to drink milk, I really, really want to!
Although my tummy isn't hungry, my baby's mouth is!
Seeing that the little one looked uninterested, Chi Yuan curiously poked the ice crystal.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Can I tell you something?"
What's wrong?
The little one smacked his lips a few times.
"Your father has taken me on as his apprentice! He said he'll train me to be the successor of this secret realm."
"You'll be able to see me all the time from now on! I'm living here."
Living with the baby?
Okay, okay!
The little guy kissed his father, the pond, through the ice wall, and then ran up to the top of the pond, holding onto the ice chains around his body.
"I forgot to ask your father what it would take for you to get out."
Chi Yuan wanted to kiss and hug the little guy who was all alone in the ice crystal.
The little guy is so cute and soft, it must be so comfortable to hold him!
With this question in mind, Chi Yuan settled the baby and then went to find Shen Yulou.
"He needs to absorb the blood of two people to grow up."
Upon hearing Shen Yulou's words, Chi Yuan extended his hand without hesitation.
"Can I, or do I need to find someone else?"
"No need, the other person is me."
Shen Yulou smiled enigmatically and reached out to grab Chi Yuan's wrist.
Chi Yuan was stunned for a moment by his sudden action, and somewhat embarrassed, he tried to withdraw his hand.
"We can't do this..."
"Your pulse is strong and vigorous, your blood and qi are abundant, and you are in good health."
"Then I'm relieved."
Ah, so you're taking someone's pulse?
What else did you think?
Shen Yulou raised an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Chi Yuan, and then put his wrist back.
“Let’s give him the blood while he’s asleep tonight. I don’t really want him to see us bleeding him when he’s awake.”
Chi Yuan nodded, then suddenly thought of another question.
What difference is there between the child he and Shen Yulou raised by blood and their own?
Then wouldn't he and Shen Yulou be...
But they were master and apprentice!
He didn't know whether he should say these words or not, and his conflicted gaze kept glancing at Shen Yulou.
However, these spiritual beings probably don't value human beings either, right?
After thinking it over, Chi Yuan had already comforted himself again.
"The spiritual energy there is the most abundant in the entire secret realm. Go there to cultivate. This is my gift for you to become my disciple."
Shen Yulou took out a spatial ring and placed it in Chi Yuan's palm.
"Wear it properly."
Chi Yuan nodded obediently, picked up the ring, and put it on his index finger.
He even raised his hand high to carefully admire the appearance of the ring.
It looks pretty good, not bad at all, I like it very much.
With his hands behind his back and his heels lightly hopping, Shen Yulou's face was full of smug pride after his success.
That night, the two sneaked up to Zai Zai.
The little guy has been taken off the ice chain and is now sleeping on the beautiful little ice bed that Shen Yulou made for him.
"Ready? Let's begin!"
To demonstrate his determination, Chi Yuan picked up a small knife and cut his wrist.
It has the spirit of a hero cutting off his own arm.
"Why cut? A drop of blood from each of us every night is enough."
Shen Yulou flicked Chi Yuan on the forehead.
"The little one isn't some blood-sucking plant, why would it need so much blood?"
"Just one drop?"
Chi Yuan was extremely surprised. He thought that the emergence of these high-level spiritual treasures required a lot of nurturing.
He even went out of his way to exchange for so many blood-replenishing herbs from the system.
Wasn't this a waste of money?
The blood from their fingertips drifted onto the baby, and tiny ice crystals began to glow in the darkness.
The baby has visibly grown bigger.
Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou lay on the baby's crib, watching the sleeping baby.
Her white buttocks looked like jelly.
