Immortal Father

Jade Pool laughed: "Your Majesty, stop laughing and quickly give her a name."

"Yingying, Li Yingying."

Li Ping’an grinned and said:

"Her name should be simple, I don’t expect her to become a Great Divine Communicator, just being happy is enough."

Jade Pool smiled in response, and asked Wen Rou to bring the child closer for a careful look, her eyes too filled with a little more laughter and peace.

There seemed to be a significant change in her mindset.

Then, Wen Rou took Li Yingying away to join Li Yiqing, with numerous subsequent rituals like [Cleansing and Dressing], [Public Exhibition], and [Blessings from the Gods].

Today, these two little ones are the main characters.

Outside the Jade Pool, congratulations soon echoed, as Li Dazhi held the two babies in his arms, laughing with delight.

Li Ping’an sat beside Jade Pool, reaching out to gently touch her abdomen.

Jade Pool tenderly covered his large hand, her affection evident in her soft voice:

"Your Majesty, is there really a tribulation in this world?"

"Hmm? Why suddenly ask this."

Li Ping’an glanced outside the hall, holding her delicate hand, he said with a smile:

"Don’t worry about these things, we’ll definitely turn danger aside. Even if this world cannot continue, I will find a way to take you all away."

Jade Pool gently nodded.

She got up and nestled in Li Ping’an’s arms, her long, smooth hair, left untended, cascaded like a waterfall onto Li Ping’an’s lap.

"Your Majesty, indeed, after life is born, one’s Dao heart does change."

Li Ping’an squinted with a smile, playing with Jade Pool’s delicate earlobe.

"Don’t overthink it, just rest. You are the main caregiver for them, you need to focus on their education later as well."

Jade Pool replied, "I can teach cultivation, but the morals of living should be taught by Your Majesty yourself; I don’t want to be lectured by those old officials of the Human Race."

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but smile.

Jade Pool didn’t want to rest either, nor was he in a hurry to leave. They sat and lay there, talking intimately.

They didn’t discuss major issues of the world, nor did they have any scheming plots.

When Li Ping’an returned to Lingxiao Hall after a busy half-day here to receive the officials’ congratulations, he suddenly realized...

After Li Yingying was born, the invisible barrier that had always existed between Jade Pool and him had quietly disappeared.

She had become the mother of the child, while he was the father.

The identities of mutual conspiracy and allies seemed to have become a thing of the past.

’Quite miraculous.’

Li Ping’an’s smile deepened, and below, the officials began reciting poems in turn—just some long-winded, verbose congratulatory speeches.

An ancient rule of the Human Race.

...

Tong Ming Palace.

The lesser gods of the Heavenly Court, unqualified to enter Lingxiao Hall, gathered here gazing towards Lingxiao Hall.

Constantly, fairies sent over Immortal Brew and spirit fruits, creating a joyful atmosphere all around.

In the corner of Tong Ming Palace, Cailin sat with a female general, quietly observing the scene.

Though using spells to hide, the female general’s face was still exceptionally beautiful, beguiling, and naturally, she was the Nine-tailed Fox, Cuìhuā, entrusted by Niu Benben to be with Cailin.

The Nine-tailed Fox raised a goblet, lightly sliding it across her lips, and conveyed with a laugh:

"It’s indeed a grand event for the Heavenly Emperor to have offspring; the entire Heavenly Court has been stirred."

"Hmm," Cailin responded briefly, focused on the spirit fruits before her, "In the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor’s authority is absolute; everyone just transforms their respect for His Majesty into affection for the two young lords."

The Nine-tailed Fox looked towards the direction of the Jade Pool.

She said softly, "If one could become the consort of the Heavenly Emperor, that would truly be a worthwhile journey."

Cailin looked at the Nine-tailed Fox with an ’Are you out of your mind?’ expression.

Cailin pursed her lips and cursed: "Wishful thinking, does His Majesty lack beautiful women by his side?"

"But I’m more uninhibited than them."

The Nine-tailed Fox giggled sinfully:

"Isn’t that what you said, little Cailin? I behave scandalously and captivate everyone; perhaps His Majesty, tired of those lofty types, might fancy someone like me."

Cailin rolled her eyes.

They have been together for more than half a year, and were long immune to such banter.

Cailin calmly said, "Having a sharp tongue is useless; I’d like to see you take a loop around the male bathhouse even once, all you know is flashy tricks."

"Heh," the Nine-tailed Fox said calmly, "I’m just afraid that those crude forms would hurt my eyes, affecting my interest in men. On the contrary, little Cailin, a Heavenly General of the Heavenly Court, with so many suitors, even if you don’t wish to marry, keeping a few paramours isn’t bad at all."

"The Heavenly Court forbids celestial beings from courting."

"I don’t think they genuinely enforce it. Many Heavenly Generals secretly have families outside; look at that oafish bull, he keeps so many women, and even several useless members of my Heavenly Fox clan support him everywhere."

The Nine-tailed Fox chuckled lightly, crossing her beautiful legs under her armor, slightly leaning forward to pick up a grape.

Even though wearing armor, her movement, her posture, still caused the faces of several young Heavenly Soldiers nearby to turn red.

The Nine-tailed Fox leisurely said, "If I ever have the chance to become the consort of the Heavenly Emperor, I’d certainly strive for it; unlike you all, influenced, tamed, and your minds filled with rules of the Heavenly Dao, I’m unrestricted and ambitious."

Cailin calmly said, "Have you heard of Kong Xuan?"

The Nine-tailed Fox, as if reciting from memory, said: "First son of the Primordial Phoenix, an ancient Great Power, claimed to be the first after the Sect Hierarch, sweeps everything with his Five-Colored Divine Light. Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi both sought to recruit him but couldn’t find his whereabouts."

"Kong Xuan is an Innate Dao Body, and later transformed into a woman, unparalleled in beauty, renowned as the Peacock Fairy."

Cailin said:

"She pursued the Heavenly Emperor for hundreds of years, but the Heavenly Emperor only treated her with respect."

"And how do you compare to the Peacock Fairy?"
