Tang Baozhu originally thought that since Xu Rui was so excited, she should let him be happy for a while and not have the heart to disturb him. But seeing that he was still excited, she couldn't help but interrupt him as he was immersed in his own fantasy and kept laughing to himself.
"Honey, hurry up and come up with names for the kids! We've been so busy lately, I don't know if you've even thought about naming them yet?"
Xu Rui felt a little embarrassed when Tang Baozhu said those words.
I've been so worried about my wife lately, wondering if she'll be able to give birth safely, that I haven't had time to think about naming our children.
Every day, they were preoccupied with figuring out what formations to set up in the valley, and which formations to combine to achieve better results and greater power.
My mind was completely occupied by these thoughts, and I had no energy left to think about the name.
He had initially considered it, but then he got confused by his wife's pulse reading and was preoccupied with how many children they had. He didn't remember anything else.
"Honey, don't be angry. I was so worried about you that I completely forgot about naming the baby. But don't worry, I'll think of one right away and let you know when I do."
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he prepared to walk towards the study. Even though his steps seemed to lead him outside, the way he kept turning back showed that he was reluctant to leave.
Tang Baozhu silently rolled her eyes in her heart, as if she were some kind of heartless person who wouldn't let him see the child. Did she really need to act like this?
"We haven't thought of names yet, so let's wait and see. For now, let's call them Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, Si Bao, and Wu Bao. Once we have their formal names, we'll call them by their formal names. Their nicknames are just for the two of us to use, so let's not tell anyone else."
Upon hearing that his wife was no longer urging him to think of a name, Xu Rui quickly walked back from the door, took his eldest daughter from the puppet's hand, and held her in his arms with great affection.
"This is Dad's second child. He's so well-behaved, never crying or fussing. All five siblings are pretty much like this. It seems like he'll be easy to take care of from now on, no need to worry."
"Aren't you being too optimistic? It's hard enough to take care of one child, let alone four or five. You have to be extra careful and keep an eye on these children. We can't let those malicious people outside harm them."
Tang Baozhu was afraid that he would be careless, after all, she didn't know how many people outside were eyeing her husband, this coveted prize.
She always worried that some venomous woman with excellent acting skills would unknowingly get close to her children, harm them, and even get close to her husband.
After all, only children are relatively innocent and may think that the outside world is wonderful, so they will not be wary of others for no reason.
Xu Rui saw that it was just him, Baozhu, and their five children here. As for the seven puppets, they weren't even human. He decided to have a good talk with his wife about what the Supreme Elder had just told him.
With a wave of his hand, all the formations around the house were activated, so there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping on their conversation.
Tang Baozhu watched him quietly, wondering what he was up to. Why was he being so mysterious?
Seeing his wife's wide, curious eyes, Xu Rui didn't keep her in suspense and told her directly.
"Elder Le told me before he left that he was going to discuss with the loose immortal elders in the sect to select five loose immortals to be our family’s children’s protectors, so that we wouldn’t have to worry about such a talented child dying halfway through his life."
"Moreover, wife, as you know, with the situation today and so many people present, it's impossible to keep it a secret. I imagine it won't be long before the entire cultivation world knows that a genius has been born in our sect. To prevent others from nipping our children in the bud, we're not letting them go out until they've grown up."
Xu Rui said with concern, worried that his wife might not understand him, since she had only been in the cultivation world for a short time and might not have seen the dark side of it yet.
There are always sects that are at odds with your sect, sects that can't stand to see geniuses in their sects and will try every means to stifle them before they can grow up.
After all, almost every sect has its own spies, and of course, your own sect also has spies in other sects. This is normal. It all depends on how skilled you are and whether you can discover them.
So if there aren't enough people protecting them, the children might not be able to grow up to be able to stand on their own, which would be a real shame.
When Tang Baozhu heard that the elders of the sect would act as protectors for their children, how could she disagree? She had heard of those rogue immortals before; they were all Mahayana cultivators who failed to pass the tribulation of ascension and directly disintegrated into rogue immortals to save their lives.
They are definitely loyal to the sect, and I can rest assured that they are taking care of them.
Even though she trusted others completely, Tang Baozhu still planned to have her five Nascent Soul stage puppets accompany the children, one for each of them.
"When will the elders of the sect arrive and start staying by the children's side? This way, we'll know the timing and can prepare in advance."
"They should arrive as early as tomorrow. After all, they still need to discuss who will protect these children. They will sign a guardian contract with the children, and if the children have the ability to ascend to the Immortal Realm, they can take them with them. This will be a great opportunity for those rogue immortals, and there may be a fierce competition. We'll see who wins then."
Xu Rui knew what his wife meant by making preparations. With someone staying with the children in the future, it would definitely not be suitable to enter the space again.
Especially since those people's cultivation levels are higher than Xu Rui's, even if they are not deliberately spying, but just routinely scanning the edge of the valley, they may inadvertently see things they shouldn't see.
"Wife, I'll look after the children for now. Luckily, I have a lot of milk-producing spirit beasts in my space, so don't worry about them going hungry. You go and check if you have anything you need to pack. I don't need to do anything; I always keep double the amount of everything."
Tang Baozhu felt that she didn't have much to organize. Even without entering the space, she could still take whatever she wanted. If she needed something in the future, she could just take it out of the ring.
