Shu Jianyue entered her space and brought out both children along with the tent. “Yuchuan, Yanxi, we will be living here from now on.”
Yuchuan let out two babbling sounds, waving his hands and kicking his legs about in excitement.
Chaotian walked over and looked at the two infants. “They are your children?” But why did he feel a sense of dread toward them? Just like Bloodline Suppression!
He had felt it earlier in that separate space as well. At the time, he thought it was an issue with that realm itself, but now it seemed it was because of them.
Shu Jianyue nodded. “Yes. My son is named Yuchuan, and my daughter is named Yanxi.”
“I want to build a house on this mountain. Things might be a bit busy later, so please help me keep an eye on them.”
Chaotian nodded. The closer he got, the more pronounced that Bloodline Suppression became, making him instinctively revere them.
After his evolution, he was already a Super Divine Beast. Why would human children exert Bloodline Suppression over him?
Seeing that it was somewhat inconvenient for Shu Jianyue to hold both children, Chaotian reached out to take Yanxi. Who would have thought that as soon as he approached, Yanxi kicked her little leg out and sent him flying.
He flipped several times in midair before finally landing, and the impact sent him kneeling directly to the ground.
Shu Jianyue was also stunned. Neither of these two children was ordinary.
A tiny infant could actually kick a Super Divine Beast flying!
“Xixi, this is Chaotian. He’ll be our family from now on, so you can’t bully him, okay?”
Yanxi wiggled her little feet.
Chaotian was dazed for quite a while before coming back to his senses. However, he didn’t dare try to hold Yanxi again. Instead, he moved to hold Yuchuan. Fortunately, Yuchuan wasn’t picky.
Though the monkeys didn’t look very big, their speed was remarkably fast. In just over a month, a small courtyard house was completed, entirely according to her specifications.
Over a hundred monkeys each received their coveted apple as promised.
Yet, after eating those four apples, the Sky-Rocketing Monkey showed no changes whatsoever—let alone an evolution, its cultivation hadn’t even increased by a shred.
Shu Jianyue looked curiously at the Sky-Rocketing Monkey. Did it really not possess any hidden bloodline?
And the only reason Chaotian had been able to evolve was because he possessed a hidden bloodline to begin with?
Scratching her chin, she tossed a few more apples to the Sky-Rocketing Monkey. “Eat them all.”
The Sky-Rocketing Monkey’s eyes lit up, gobbling them down in single bites like Zhu Bajie eating Ginseng Fruits.
Seeing that it still had no reaction, Shu Jianyue felt her guess was correct. It was merely an ordinary Sky-Rocketing Monkey after all.
“I’ll name you Tiankong. You can use this name from now on.”
Chaotian, Tiankong.
Well, if another one came along later, it could be called Kong-something—a great continuation.
“Your reward has been given. Go play, you don’t need to guard this place anymore. Just return at night.”
Today counted as moving into their new home, so she planned to have a small celebration tonight.
Just as she was about to head back inside, Chaotian came rushing out frantically while holding Yuchuan. “Master, the young master just spewed a burst of fire and almost set the house ablaze!”
“What?” Shu Jianyue was astonished. Didn’t this child have a Lightning Spirit Vein? How did it turn into fire?
She tried to examine it, but discovered that she couldn’t probe at all; she couldn’t even send her Lingqi in.
Yuchuan turned, grabbed her hand, and began shaking it. “Ma…”
Shu Jianyue blinked. She had only been joking before, but now she was utterly certain that the children’s father was a monstrous freak.
The child was only a little over a month old and could already speak and call her “Ma”, not to mention possessing such extraordinary elemental Spirit Veins.
She just didn’t know what grade it was. Had she known earlier, she should have snatched that robber’s Storage Bag.
Someone who had disciples couldn’t possibly lack even a single Vein-Measuring Stone, and there might have even been decent Lingqi inside.
Sigh, what a huge loss.
She then went to check on Yanxi and found it was the same—she couldn’t probe her either.
“Xixi, what element are you?”
Yanxi answered her right away. With a wave of her little hand, the nearby flame tree was instantly coated in frost.
Shu Jianyue’s eyelids twitched. The son had lightning and fire, and the daughter had frost? Or ice?
How did these mutually incompatible elements end up as twins?
Chaotian walked over holding Yuchuan. “Master, who is their father?” If he could feel such dread toward them, their father would only be vastly more terrifying.
Shu Jianyue gave a light cough. She truly didn’t know; after all, the original host possessed no memories of it.
“I don’t know.”
Chaotian looked at her in surprise, but didn’t ask further.
Everyone had their own secrets, especially a master as mysterious as hers.
That evening, Shu Jianyue prepared a feast. Chaotian had hunted a wild boar at the foot of the mountain, and combined with the fish she retrieved from her space’s pond, she also stir-fried a dish of Cuiyubai, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and picked plenty of fruit. It filled the entire table—truly a lavish feast.
Tiankong kept staring intently at the apples on the table, but since Shu Jianyue hadn’t told him he could eat, he didn’t touch them, which pleased Shu Jianyue greatly.
Shu Jianyue placed Yuchuan and Yanxi beside her. The two children were still too young; she had only started feeding them some pureed apples and hadn’t introduced solid staples yet.
“Let’s dig in.”
Waiting until she and Chaotian picked up their chopsticks, Tiankong immediately snatched an apple and started eating.
Once one went down, the Lingqi around his entire body began surging instantly.
Shu Jianyue was startled and immediately said, “Chaotian, take him to Guanyue Tai!” Otherwise, wouldn’t this whole table of food go to waste?
Guanyue Tai was a platform she had carved out from a massive boulder, meant for practicing with the Huan-shen Whip.
Chaotian immediately scooped up Tiankong and flew off. After a short while, he returned on his own.
Shu Jianyue had just picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and was about to put it in her mouth. “You don’t need to keep watch over him?”
“It’s fine, it won’t happen that fast.” Chaotian picked up his chopsticks and began eating as well, focusing mainly on the bowl of Cuiyubai.
Just as Shu Jianyue finished that plate of steamed fish, she felt that she was about to break through as well.
Her brows raised high. Over the past month, she had been eating food from the space continuously, causing her cultivation to advance extraordinarily fast—advancing by a stage roughly every three or four days.
Originally at the eighth stage of Zhuji, after eating this plate of fish, she broke through consecutively and was about to break directly into Jindan!
Immediately setting down her chopsticks, she gathered Yuchuan and Yanxi back into her space. She then called Chaotian, descended Fuchenshan, and only stopped after putting several dozen miles between them, sitting cross-legged to begin her breakthrough.
Breaking through to Jindan was entirely different from Zhuji. Advancing from Zhuji to Jindan crossed a celestial chasm, so one had to undergo a Lightning Tribulation.
Jindan brought a Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation; she certainly didn’t want the Lightning Tribulation to ruin the mountain retreat she had just completed.
Chaotian stood guard for her not far away.
When the second strike of the Lightning Tribulation blasted down, Shu Jianyue brought Yuchuan out. “Little guy, want to eat the thunder from this Lightning Tribulation?”
“Want!” Yuchuan unhesitatingly grabbed the descending bolt of Heavenly Thunder and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue’s mouth twitched. She thought to herself that whenever she underwent a Lightning Tribulation in the future, she could just bring this boy along. Wouldn’t that make passing the Lightning Tribulation effortless?
Meanwhile, hiding in the shadows, someone’s eyes widened to their absolute limit. Even their breath hitched for a fraction of a second—and it was that very second that allowed Chaotian to detect their presence.
The moment Chaotian moved, Shu Jianyue knew something was wrong. She immediately produced a mask and put it on, also placing a tiny fox mask on Yuchuan.
While Chaotian clashed fiercely with that person, Shu Jianyue remained entirely unaffected, feeding her child a cheat meal of lightning.
