When Tang Baozhu heard that her children had all gained weight, she was overjoyed. No mother would be unhappy to hear that her son had gotten fat.
That means they really took good care of the children and didn't let them suffer any injustice.
"Would it be inconvenient for me to visit them now?"
Tang Baozhu was eager to see her five treasures, but since they were currently being looked after by a wandering immortal elder who was living and eating with the children, she was worried that it might be inconvenient if she went directly there.
Especially the elders, even though they seem very gentle in front of the children, they are actually not easy to get along with.
Having lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, how could they possibly get along well? They've fought and killed their way through life, and the number of lives they've taken is probably already piled up like mountains.
So when she had nothing to do, Tang Baozhu didn't dare to go over there, for fear of upsetting those wandering immortal elders.
"Okay, when they're drinking milk, I'll take you to see them properly, and then I'll take you to other places to play. Playing will also be a way to cultivate. By the time you come back, they'll definitely be all grown up."
Xu Rui dared not say that the children had forgotten their mother. Even though she visited them three times a day, they were still strangers to her.
Not to mention his wife, who hadn't been seen for half a month, and the child certainly wouldn't recognize her. In order not to make his wife sad, he simply coaxed her to go out and play for a few years, and when the child grew up and came back, it wouldn't matter if they were a little unfamiliar.
Tang Baozhu had no idea what her husband was thinking. Since they had agreed to check on them while they were drinking milk, she wasn't in a hurry.
The two of them were in the room and didn't know what to say for a moment. If it were just the two of them alone, they would probably be exchanging sweet nothings, but because there were other people staying there, they felt a little embarrassed.
Now, Tang Baozhu seriously considered her husband's suggestion. If they continued in this kind of atmosphere, she was sure that her relationship with her husband would gradually become distant. After all, it would be uncomfortable for two people to live a sweet and loving life with a few outsiders in between.
Once things become distant, it will be very difficult to cultivate feelings again. Although Xu Rui might not necessarily become distant from her, she was worried that she would become distant from him. The little bit of feeling that had been cultivated with great difficulty would be worn away by her long-term caution.
You have to understand that with her level of cultivation, there are plenty of people like her in the cultivation world. If Xu Rui hadn't been there with her, she probably wouldn't have dared to go anywhere, lest she be killed by someone if she wasn't careful.
In order to prevent their relationship from growing distant and turning into the seven-year itch before even reaching seven years, she said she would seriously consider her husband's suggestion.
When it was time for the five children to be fed, Xu Rui took Tang Baozhu's hand and walked towards the backyard.
The rooms in the backyard were no different from those in the frontyard; they were all five main rooms in a row, with three side rooms on each side, more than enough to accommodate all of them.
When feeding, the milk is poured directly into a bottle, and the puppets take care of them while the elders watch over them to prevent any problems from arising.
When Tang Baozhu and Xu Rui went in, the elders only glanced at them before looking away.
This made Tang Baozhu feel like an outsider. It was supposed to be just the two of them in the house, but after a group of big shots moved in, she suddenly felt like a guest.
And perhaps because they were used to being high and mighty, those big shots just glanced at them and didn't take them seriously at all.
Tang Baozhu felt that her husband had probably had a tough time during this period, and with the attitude of those elders, who wouldn't be angry?
It seems that their good attitude at our first meeting was just my imagination. But considering my low cultivation level, it's understandable that they looked down on me.
Didn't that also make her decide that after watching this, the two of them should simply leave this place?
They wandered throughout the cultivation world, treating these children as if they were born for the sect, to contribute to the sect in the future.
They nurtured Xu Rui and returned five geniuses to them; they actually made a profit.
Tang Baozhu ignored their displeased expressions and went straight up to them, carefully observing each of her five children.
Judging from their chubby faces, she knew these puppets were being taken very good care of; she certainly didn't believe that four or five elders could have done it.
Their buttocks seemed glued to the prayer mat; they sat cross-legged without moving an inch, only glancing at it occasionally. Who would believe they were the ones who raised them?
Fortunately, there were seven puppets here, five of which were theirs, and Xu Rui also took out two, so there was no need to worry about the children not being taken care of properly.
Tang Baozhu didn't say anything, just quietly watched the five of them nurse until they finished before she came back to her senses.
After the five children finished feeding, they quickly closed their eyes and prepared to sleep.
The door suddenly opened, and Tang Baozhu was startled at first. Then she turned to look at the five elders with their eyes closed, and a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into her mind.
They must have opened the door, right? Did they think Xu Rui and I were in their way? They just opened the door and told us to leave.
"It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating," Tang Baozhu thought to herself. "If I had known that coming back to give birth would be this frustrating, I would have preferred to give birth outside rather than come back, even if it meant facing danger."
Although Xu Rui also felt aggrieved, he thought that if he didn't come back, he wouldn't be able to handle the tribulation by himself, let alone anything else.
However, the sect helped out by using its protective formation. Each use of the sect's protective formation consumes a massive amount of top-grade spirit stones. The sect has given up so many good things, and now it's time for them to reap the rewards.
Although I felt a little uncomfortable, the thought that my children could grow up safely and peacefully made my feelings suddenly seem less important.
Seeing them born safely and growing up happily makes all these things seem unimportant now.
Seeing what his wife was about to say, he quickly pulled her out of the room, worried that she might say something irreversible.
When the two returned to the house, Tang Baozhu was still very angry, but after the journey, she had calmed down.
Seeing that his wife had calmed down, Xu Rui took out a blank jade slip from his ring, wrote down what he wanted to say on the jade slip, and then handed it to Baozhu.
Tang Baozhu knew it might not be convenient to talk right now, so without saying a word, she took it and placed it on her forehead, and then she saw the message inside.
