Chapter 166 About the Silly Son
"Mmmmmm..." Fu Xun adds a new toy every few days, and Xiao Yundu is very happy. Today, he got a lifelike little boat.
One day, the little boy suddenly learned to walk, but he was still not very steady. Now, while playing, he wanted to move around and stood up on his own with his short legs. Fu Xun quickly reached out to prevent him from falling.
There was a plate of spirit fruits on the low table. He took a few shaky steps and headed towards the spirit fruits. He was just like a penguin, wobbling and almost fell over with one quick step, but Fu Xun quickly scooped him up, saying, "Be careful."
Then, they tossed it up and spun it around. One dared to toss, and the other dared to play. Yun Du let out an excited "giggle" laugh.
He was lifted high and swayed around without fear, tossed up and caught again, which terrified Leng Huan.
"Slow down..." he couldn't help but frown and call out, "You guys are all incredibly daring."
"Hmm." Fu Xun caught Yun Du, restrained his movements, and was much more steady this time.
Leng Huan sighed, "He can walk, but he can't talk yet. I remember when I was little, I heard that he started calling people very early." She was referring to herself in the past.
Fu Xun held the child and thought for a long time, "...maybe he takes after me. I was also a late talker when I was a child."
Leng Huan pouted: "Teach him more and he'll be easier to raise. The older he gets, the harder he is to raise. I promised I would only give birth, not raise him..." She thought, Fu Xun is so smart, but he was a quiet child.
"..." Fu Xun nodded resignedly: "I'll take him."
This past month has shown me how difficult this child is to take care of. Except for sleeping, he never stops and has boundless energy.
They are the type that are quiet yet lively.
Fu Xun: "It must have been very hard for you to take care of him all by yourself for so long."
"There's no other way. We've already given birth, we can't just throw it away."
"...My wife, please don't say that, it will hurt the child's feelings."
"How could he understand at such a young age?" Leng Huan smiled as he looked at the child's silly face as he munched on the spirit fruit. "The landlord's silly son."
Fu Xun: "..."
-
Because of the Myriad Spirit Fruit, Leng Huan's cultivation level has increased rather than decreased this year, and he has faintly touched the barrier of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
During his time in the snowy sea, the Snow Spirit Body cultivated at an astonishing speed, as if riding on a whirlwind.
Just as I was thinking about going out to train in the far north, after circulating my spiritual energy through the Great Cycle, I suddenly heard a small, childlike voice: "Mama... Mama, Mama..."
Looking to the side, she saw that it was Yun Du calling her.
Fu Xun was also stunned.
-
The father and son were playing a game of "you throw, I fetch". Fu Xun just picked up a small ball from the corner and saw that the child had already climbed to his mother's side.
Leng Huan exchanged a glance with him, picked up the child, and said excitedly, "Baby, call me 'Mommy' one more time."
Yun Du blinked and smacked his lips: "Mom, Mom..."
“Baby, this is Daddy.” Pointing to Fu Xun who was walking over, Leng Huan instructed the child.
"Fall, fall, fall fall..." The child's unclear speech made sounds that were both funny and exasperating.
Leng Huan tried to correct him several times, but to no avail, so he let it go.
It's only the beginning of the call; it's already good enough that she can even be called.
Of course, he's not really stupid; on the contrary, he's smart and knows everything. He was a little unfamiliar with Fu Xun at first, but now they're quite familiar with each other, and he can recognize people very clearly.
If you want something, you'll point to it with your own cries.
Leng Huan secretly felt relieved; at least he wasn't stupid.
-
Taking the children on their training trip slowed things down, and by the time they reached the central area, two more months had passed.
There were no major dangers along the way. Sometimes when they encountered cultivators, Fu Xun's pressure as a Nascent Soul cultivator would relentlessly crush them, causing the cultivators to retreat in fear.
Leng Huan subtly noticed that Fu Xun seemed to have become even more oppressive after passing through the desert, but he remained composed in front of her and Yun Du.
After walking for another three days, looking down from mid-air at the towering pagoda in the distance, they found it amidst ruins and crumbling walls.
“Senior sister, everyone says that the Qiankun Tower is the most mysterious and valuable place in the entire Flying Immortal Secret Realm, but it gets very dangerous above the fifth floor. The Cloud Crossing is too small, I can’t…”
The two landed in front of the magnificent nine-story pagoda. Before Fu Xun could finish speaking, Leng Huan interrupted him: "No, I can take Yun Du to the Enlightenment Pavilion on the other side and wait for you."
Leng Huan grasped his hand, raised her eyes, her gaze clear and gentle, "I don't want to be a burden to you. I will take good care of myself. The Enlightenment Pavilion offers access to rare texts and opportunities for secluded cultivation. I will also take good care of the child."
“Go climb the tower.” She suddenly put on a shrewd expression. “Since you’re already here, and it’s such a good opportunity, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it. So, you must go climb the tower, we’ll wait for you to come out.”
Fu Xun couldn't do anything about her: "..."
At the entrance of the pagoda stood two Taotie puppets. To enter, one had to pay 100,000 spirit stones, or 200,000 for two people. Leng Huan was considering whether the children should buy "tickets" when a flash of light appeared, and they were teleported inside.
Uh... okay, free for toddlers.
Fu Xun had previously thought she was also going to climb the tower, but when he heard she was going to the Enlightenment Pavilion, he didn't object.
Because the Enlightenment Pavilion is just a separate space where martial arts are prohibited, it is suitable for cultivation and reference to ancient texts.
Leng Huan, holding his son, was about to turn to the right when Fu Xun grabbed his hand. As if it were a premonition, he said, "Take care, I'll come find you."
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Leng Huan thought for a moment and then said, “There are still one year and five months left in the secret realm. You should act according to your ability.”
Fu Xun didn't say anything in the end. He let go of her hand and, before the warmth had completely dissipated, he stepped onto the left passage.
Leng Huan chuckled. He turned and entered the Enlightenment Pavilion.
Of course, the gluttonous creatures at the entrance won't skimp on a single penny.
What's a bit odd is that they've set up a meditation pavilion here, as if anyone's willing to spend a ton of spirit stones to come in and be a sucker.
Leng Huan looked down at Yun Du. Over the years, it seemed that only the mother and son remained.
This secret realm hasn't even made any money yet, but it's already cost a huge amount of spirit stones!
"Mom..." Yun Du struggled to get down, but seeing that there was no one else around, Leng Huan put him down. There were restrictions on the bookshelves, and Yun Du ran over to touch them curiously, but he couldn't touch anything.
The space is also carefully designed; the bookshelves reach straight to the ceiling, dozens of feet high, so that when a person stands there, it feels like they are in an ocean of books.
Layer upon layer, row upon row, neatly arranged and categorized, it rivals the library of a major sect.
In fact, Leng Huan had some doubts about whether this tower might be the library of some ancient sect.
When she came in, she noticed the ruins around the pagoda, which were some kind of architectural remains.
The map of other terrain features has descriptions, but this tower only has an icon and nothing else.
Wang Chen only vaguely mentioned that there was something powerful on the last floor, so Leng Huan didn't know the specifics either.
The original plan was to climb the tower together, but Yun Du was added. If it weren't for the Enlightenment Pavilion, she probably would have had to find a cave to cultivate in seclusion instead of coming here.
Because this Qiankun Tower is not a place without conflict. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw more than a dozen high-level cultivators who were more or less injured. They were all cultivators who failed to climb the tower.
Yun Du is very excited and full of curiosity about this place, looking around and touching everything.
Leng Huan followed him around, sighing softly to himself. It was impossible for his mother to cultivate now; he had spent a lot of spirit stones to come here and play with the child!
Only when Yun Du falls asleep will I have time to choose which water-based martial arts manuals to read.
Using spirit stones to pay for the removal of the restriction, Leng Huan, like a hawk, darted from one bookshelf to another, and finally got a general idea of what was going on.
"Let's look at the water attribute first, then the weapon refining manual, and then the golden lightning, wind..." Leng Huan muttered to himself.
She leaped into the air with a light touch of her toes, her fingers brushing across the top shelf marked "water," where a separate ice-attribute manual was displayed. She took one down.
"Mysterious Ice Phoenix Feather Technique?"
Heavenly Rank Technique.
The fairy landed as lightly as a feather, her embroidered shoes silently passing several rows of bookshelves. She sat cross-legged on a futon, next to which was a plush blanket, where Xiao Yundu was fast asleep.
