Yuehua and Yangzhen's attention was immediately drawn to the three white balls.
Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao also took a liking to these two unfamiliar uncles.
Yuehua and Yangzhen are both extremely good-looking, probably inheriting Yang Yitian's fondness for good-looking people. They both giggled when they saw the two of them, their cute expressions were very endearing.
At least in Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng's eyes, they were very likable.
Qi Zhiheng first picked up Da Bao and said, "This is my eldest son. His nickname is Da Bao, and his formal name is Qi Boyang."
After putting him down, she picked up her second son again: "This is my second son, nicknamed Erbao, formal name Qi Boyue."
Finally, he picked up his third son and said, "This is my third son, whose nickname is Sanbao and whose full name is Qi Boxing."
Regardless of whether Yuehua will ultimately agree to help them take care of their child, it's always good to gain their favor now.
Yuehua looked at the three children and said, "Your sons all look alike. Except for this Qi Boxing, I can't remember the first two."
Sanbao is a hermaphrodite, with a red mole between his eyebrows. Yuehua is able to recognize him only because of this red mole.
Qi Zhiheng introduced them, saying, "The one who looks a bit more reserved is Da Bao, and the one who looks more lively is Er Bao. They're easy to tell apart."
Yuehua: "..." Probably only their father would find these two children easy to recognize.
Yuehua asked me directly, "Your eldest son came in because he wanted us to take a look!"
Qi Zhiheng smiled awkwardly: "I don't just want the two seniors to take a look, I also want them to look after them for a while. We are currently soaking in the spiritual spring outside, and it's not convenient to take care of the two children with us. If the two seniors could spend a few days with them, that would be wonderful."
Yang Yitian boasted without any modesty, "Yes! Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao are actually very cute. Look at them, they're round and chubby, just normal. You'll want to hold them in your arms and rub them gently. Spend a few more days with them, and you'll definitely discover the softest side of your heart!"
Yuehua: "...How can you praise your son like that?"
Yang Yitian shook his head and said, "It's all just the truth, just the truth!"
Before Yuehua could agree, Yangzhen spoke first: "Let me take care of these children."
"Huh?" Qi Zhiheng doubted whether he had heard correctly. Yang Zhen was not usually as easy to talk to as Yuehua. Why would he take the initiative to take care of the child?
"Huh? I said I'll take care of these kids." Yang Zhen repeated what he meant.
Qi Zhiheng moved the small bed forward: "Then we'll trouble you to look after it, senior. We'll come back to check on it when we have time."
Yuehua was also quite surprised: "You can take care of children?"
Yang Zhen said confidently, "Although I have never raised a human child, there is relevant knowledge in the inheritance."
Upon hearing that it was the inheritance of the Sun Beast, Qi Zhiheng immediately felt somewhat relieved.
Anyway, the child is past the most difficult stage of care now. As long as they are fed on time and bumps and bruises are avoided, they won't die. The two of them will only be away for a few days, not months. Entrusting them to the Sun Beast and Moon Beast shouldn't be a big problem.
Qi Zhiheng took out the child's meals and gave instructions, clearly explaining when to eat and how much to eat. Then the two of them went out to soak in the spiritual spring.
Soaking in the spiritual spring water, Yang Yitian asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to entrust my son to the two seniors?" He found it hard to imagine the scene of the moon beast and the sun beast raising a child.
Qi Zhiheng said, "It's alright. We can go in and check every few hours anyway. In such a short time, it shouldn't cause any problems for the two children."
Hearing this, Yang Yitian felt relieved and focused on his cultivation.
Qi Zhiheng was also deeply immersed in cultivation.
Neither of them expected that an accident would actually happen in the end! The reason lay with Qi Zhiheng!
After entering a cultivation state, Qi Zhiheng frantically absorbed the spiritual energy from the spiritual spring, and for a time he couldn't stop.
After absorbing the spiritual energy for several hours, Yang Yitian began to digest it and waited for Qi Zhiheng to wake up.
After waiting for several hours without any reaction from Qi Zhiheng, Yang Yitian's eyes widened in disbelief! He had promised to check on his son in a few hours, but Qi Zhiheng was completely absorbed in his cultivation and showed no sign of waking up!
After waiting for several hours, Yang Yitian had no other choice. He couldn't directly bypass Qi Zhiheng to enter the space, so what could he do but continue cultivating?
After completing his cultivation of the spiritual energy he had absorbed previously, Yang Yitian began a new round of spiritual energy absorption.
When Yang Yitian woke up for the second time, he found that Qi Zhiheng was still with his eyes closed! However, he guessed that Qi Zhiheng must have woken up once in the middle, saw him absorbing spiritual energy, and did not disturb him. Since Qi Zhiheng had woken up once, he must have gone to see his son. With Qi Zhiheng there, Yang Yitian felt very at ease! Then he continued to cultivate.
God knows, this was a huge blunder! Qi Zhiheng has never woken up since he started absorbing spiritual energy.
At this moment, outside the spirit spring, the person guarding the spring suddenly noticed something unusual.
There were two guards, one tall and one short.
The tall man was the first to notice something was wrong: "Why does this spring water seem to have much less spiritual energy?"
The short man assessed the situation and said, "It does seem a bit thinner, but it doesn't have a big impact. A whole family went in before, and with so many people sharing the spiritual spring, it's normal for the neighbors' spring to be a bit thinner."
The tall man said, "There have been previous records of so many people entering the spiritual spring together, but I have never seen the spiritual energy of this spring water dissipate so quickly."
The short man said, "Maybe it's because they're talented. Are you just jealous? Alright, alright, you're making a big fuss over nothing!"
Although the tall man was somewhat unconvinced, he didn't say anything more. If this situation continued, he would consider reporting it to the peak master.
Meanwhile, the disciples in the other spiritual spring pools also noticed that the spiritual energy in the water seemed to be thinner in the early morning. However, just as the short man said, the spiritual energy would naturally be thinner when there were many people, so it did not attract much attention.
Those who entered the spiritual spring this time could only lament their bad luck.
Yang Yitian had woken up several times in the past few days, and each time he saw Qi Zhiheng with his eyes closed. Yang Yitian thought to himself, what bad luck! He had missed the time when Qi Zhiheng woke up each time!
Yang Yitian had been absorbing spiritual energy for three or four days straight, but he hadn't yet felt the saturation state that the other disciples had mentioned. Apart from him, the rest of the Qi family members hadn't felt this so-called saturation either; everyone was diligently absorbing spiritual energy.
Five days later.
The tall guy couldn't resist slapping the sleepy short guy on the head: "Wake up!"
The short man woke up groggily: "W-what happened? Why did you hit me!"
The tall man said somewhat flusteredly, "Quickly sense it, the spiritual energy in this spirit spring pool seems to be getting thinner and thinner!"
Mai suddenly snapped out of his daze, checked the concentration of spiritual energy in the spring water, and was immediately shocked!
The tall man had been diligently guarding the spiritual spring, so he didn't have much of a sense of the spring water's loss. The short man was different; after sleeping for a while, he could clearly feel that there was a significant difference between the spiritual energy of the spring before he fell asleep and after he woke up!
The short man hurriedly said, "Something...something's happened! Quickly report to the peak master!"
The tall man shouted, "I told you there was something wrong here, but you insisted it was normal!" Without further delay, he hurriedly ran out to find the peak master and report the matter.
Zuoqiu Man wasn't particularly interested in the tall man's report. The water in the spirit spring was useless to a cultivator of his level. He usually didn't pay any attention to it. His reaction to the tall man's report was indifferent: "It's just that the spiritual energy in the spring is thin. Is it really worth making such a fuss about? You're a peak Golden Core cultivator, why are you being so reckless? Don't worry, the spring water will probably recover in a few days."
“However, Peak Master, ever since those large families entered the Spirit Spring Pool, the rate at which the spiritual energy in the spring is draining away is far too fast. I have been guarding the Spirit Spring for eight years and have never seen such a phenomenon before,” the tall man said, expressing his concerns.
Zuoqiu said dismissively, "That's probably because there haven't been any good cultivation talents in the past eight years. Those truly exceptional cultivators can absorb spiritual energy incredibly fast. Don't worry, even the most talented cultivator can't soak in it for more than seven days. By the way, how many days is it today?"
The tall man replied, "Today is the sixth day."
Zuoqiu Manman waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, come back and report the situation tomorrow. Seven days should be the limit. If you interrupt their cultivation now, people will say I'm stingy, even urging them to hurry up after giving them a chance to soak in the spiritual spring! Do you think I, Zuoqiu Manman, am such a petty person?!"
The tall man was speechless for a moment, and my heart was filled with worry. However, Zuo Qiuman did not care about his report. Helpless, he could only retreat for the time being, thinking that those people should come out after tomorrow anyway.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
"Has it come out yet?" The tall man looked at the spring, then turned his attention to talking to the short man.
The short man glanced at the time; it was almost seven days, as the peak master had mentioned. He replied, "Not yet."
The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
An hour later, the short man shouted excitedly, "They're out! Someone came out from the direction the Qi family went in!"
The tall man quickly ran out to check the situation.
"Are you a member of the Qi family?" The tall man asked directly, seeing that the person who came out was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
