Chapter 423: The Combined Body
Ling looked at the tiny figure in Ye Fei's palm with a puzzled expression: "Why did you suddenly pull out a little baby? Could this be your child with the Demon Lord?"
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell into an eerie silence.
"Cough! Cough cough..." Ye Fei was so startled by Ling's sudden words that she choked on her own saliva.
Li Yuan gently patted Ye Fei's back: "Are you feeling better?"
Ye Fei finally recovered, her pretty face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about... I'm not married yet!"
Ling pointed at the little one: "Then what is this?"
"It is a combination of the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower and the Cloud-Vast Spirit Fruit," Ye Fei explained.
Hua Hua's expression showed slight surprise: "Will the two transform after being combined?"
Ye Fei nodded: "It certainly seems that way."
With so many eyes watching, the little one clung tightly to Ye Fei's fingers in fear, her soft little face filled with apprehension and unease.
"Is this little thing of any help to you?" Chi Ye asked a very important question.
Ye Fei shook her head: "I don't know that yet, but it has a contractual relationship with me since it was born, and it can't speak yet. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until it can speak before I know the answer."
Chi Ye: "..."
Chi Ye said expressionlessly, "Do you intend to teach it to talk?"
Is this definitely not someone taking care of a child?!
Ye Fei scratched her head awkwardly and could only turn to Hua Hua for help.
Hua Hua picked up Xiao Bu Dian directly from Ye Fei's hands. Xiao Bu Dian trembled with fear, making whimpering sounds, looking pitiful.
After observing for a while, Hua Hua said calmly, "Don't worry, both the Cloud Misty Spirit Flower and the Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit are spiritual beings, and the combined entity has absorbed the spiritual energy of both. It has just been born and has not yet adapted to the environment, so it cannot speak for the time being."
"Therefore, the owner does not need to teach it; it is born knowing how to speak human language."
Ye Fei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She still looks like a child, so taking care of children would be too much of a challenge for her!
"So, in the end, Miss Ye only took the Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit?" Qingzhu looked around the entire herb garden. "You're an alchemist, you could have asked for more."
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Every herb here was planted by you. I'm not a greedy person. The Cloud Misty Spirit Fruit is enough for me."
Qingzhu wanted to offer another word of advice, but Chiye said at the right moment, "If you need any more medicinal herbs next time, you can come to Qingzhu again."
Ye Fei gazed at Chi Ye with sincere eyes, her beautiful golden eyes sparkling with tenderness.
“Okay.” Ye Fei did not refuse.
Chi Ye nodded in satisfaction: "The banquet is ready, let's go."

After a refined and sumptuous dinner, Ye Fei touched her slightly bulging belly and thought, "Ah... I'm so full."
"Are you full?" Li Yuan, sitting next to Ye Fei, held a cup of sake in his hand and glanced at her.
Ye Fei nodded: "I can't eat anymore."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Chi Ye, who was sitting in the main seat, and the four attendants sitting beside her.
She thought there was a clear distinction between ruler and subject, but she never expected that Chi Ye's four attendants would all dine at the same table with her.
Ling was very good at creating a lively atmosphere. She told everyone interesting stories about what happened in the demon realm, making everyone laugh. Even the cold-tempered Chi Ye would drop his disguise and join in with a smile in his eyes.
