"The Sky-Piercing Mirror is indeed useful," Laurel murmured softly.
This was the future she saw in the astronomical mirror; she knew Shen Bai would lose the prayer beads.
Actually, this isn't any special magical artifact, but it carries the aura of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak. With it around, it'll be a piece of cake to trick Shen Bai out of there.
And so, Laurel carefully put away the rosary, waiting for the right moment to arrive.
Shen Bai followed Song Yun home and gave the lotus pods to the cook hired from the Heavenly Realm, asking her to make lotus seed soup.
"Brother Dongyue, the lotus seed soup is delicious."
Song Yun smiled, picked up the little guy, and darted into the yard.
Holding the child in his left arm and making a hand seal with his right, he cleaned the dust off Shen Bai's body.
Immortals don't need to bathe, they only need to use magic to cleanse themselves. They don't actually need to eat, but their little darling loves to eat, so they have to have the cook prepare meals for them every day.
I led the little one to the study to document the child's growth.
Song Yun doesn't know when it started, but writing a diary about Xiao Baiyue every day has become a habit.
When he first learned to speak, when he first learned to walk, when he first called out "brother"... Song Yun recorded everything in great detail.
Today, he added a few more lines to his diary: Little White Moon picked lotus pods and said she wanted to make lotus seed soup for Brother Dongyue.
While writing, Song Yun's eyes and brows were filled with joy.

Days passed by, one day in heaven was equivalent to one year on earth. Although they lived in the underworld, they were also part of the heavenly realm.
Countless seasons have passed in the human world, and Little White Moon has grown into a young man.
The fifteen-year-old boy is planning to run away from home.
A few days ago, I had an artist paint a picture of me. At that time, Brother Dongyue was holding me while he was being painted, but I don't know why, since then, Brother Dongyue has never held me again.
Shen Bai was very angry, feeling that Brother Dongyue no longer liked him, which was simply infuriating.
"The Emperor!"
Hearing the ghost messenger outside the door bow to Song Yun, Shen Bai thought he would give him one last chance.
As soon as Song Yun entered the room, he saw the little guy still sulking. He felt so sorry for him that he instinctively wanted to hug him, but then he remembered the things that had been bothering him these past few days and stopped in his tracks.
"Xiaobai, you're all grown up now, stop making a fuss."
"You...you're saying I'm making a scene?"
Shen Bai was even angrier. His eyes were red with anger, and he didn't know what to say to express his anger and grievance.
Song Yun resisted the urge to coax him and said, "Be good, in a few years we'll go back to the Moon Palace to live, that's your home."
"You want to send me away? Song Yun, you...you don't want me anymore?"
Shen Bai tried to open her eyes wide to stop the tears from falling, stubbornly looking at him, but her vision was becoming increasingly blurry.
Song Yun frowned, feeling extremely distressed, but she didn't want to delay him.
How could a deity who has lived for who knows how long be with a child?
Even if Shen Bai comes of age in a few years and is old enough to find a partner, he should find a deity of similar age to him.
“It’s not that we don’t want you. You can still come back to visit in the future. When your father and mother have time, I will send you home.”
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave as if fleeing.
Tears streamed down his face. Shen Bai didn't understand what he was saying, but he was certain that Dongyue really didn't want him anymore.
"Waaah..."
Watching Song Yun's figure disappear, Shen Bai could no longer hold back his sobs. This was probably the saddest moment of his fifteen years of life.
The ghost guards at the door were heartbroken to hear the little ancestor crying. This was something that had never happened before. One of them went to report to Song Yun, while the other was at a loss, wanting to comfort him but not daring to speak.
Song Yun's divine sense covered the entire underworld, so he naturally knew how sad Shen Bai was at this moment.
He felt sorry for her, but he still didn't want to hold her back.
Not to mention that Shen Bai is still young and doesn't understand love at all, he can't let Shen Bai mistake his dependence on him for love between lovers when Shen Bai is still young and doesn't understand.
He simply ignored what was happening over there and began reviewing the documents.
In the past, whenever Shen Bai cried, the Emperor of Dongyue would appear immediately. However, today, Shen Bai cried for half an hour without seeing the other party.
Shen Bai knew that Song Yun really didn't want him anymore, that bastard Dongyue really didn't want him anymore, sob sob sob...
He packed his little bundle while crying, putting everything into the storage space, but he still stubbornly picked out some beautiful gold and silver jewelry from the bundle.
He was going to the human world, where he heard there were many delicious foods and small cakes.
Having found the map of the underworld that he had previously discovered in the study, Shen Bai set off with his small bundle on his back.
The surrounding ghost messengers sensed Shen Bai's aura and began to lower their heads to avoid him, afraid of frightening him.
This little darling is the most pampered child in the Dongyue Palace. The Dongyue Emperor said that anyone who dares to frighten him will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.
This is not a good thing; no ghost would dare to provoke it.
Along the way, Shen Bai traversed towering mountains and crossed the River of Oblivion, where he saw the vibrant red spider lilies on the banks of the River of Oblivion...
The ghost messengers either gave way or made all the ghosts lower their heads, not even daring to look at them.
Shen Bai, who was used to this phenomenon, didn't give these ghosts a second glance and just followed the route toward the Bridge of Helplessness.
When he reached the Bridge of Helplessness, suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and the black mist solidified in front of him.
Song Yun stood in front of him, her expression not good, but her eyes were full of heartache.
Shen Bai glared at him, wanting to walk past him and move forward. Even if he couldn't go to the human world, he still wanted to return to the Moon Palace.
However, Song Yun stopped him, her voice softening:
"Come home with me."
"No, I'm going back to the Moon Palace when I grow up anyway, why should I go back with you?"
The little immortal was very angry and continued walking forward. The next moment, Song Yun stretched out his long arm and hugged him back into his arms.
"I was wrong, but Xiaobaiyue, do you know our relationship?"
Shen Bai was in his arms and didn't really want to talk to him, but when he heard him ask that question, she couldn't help but answer.
"We are destined partners, and we will be together forever."
He already knew; his older brother had told him long ago.
"Do you like me? Do you know what 'like' means? Do you know what a partner means?"
Song Yun knew that she had already fallen in love with this young man, but now was not the time; she wanted him to recognize his own feelings.
"If I like you, I just like you. A partner is like a priest and his wife."
Shen Bai answered very clearly and seriously. He was well protected, but he also knew about these things and had long been used to Song Yun.
The little immortal believed that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had a very high status and position, treated him extremely well, and even found a cook to prepare meals for him...
