Baby cries sounded loud until they left the room. Qu Xuanzi who was fidgeting outside was moved as soon as he heard a light cry that made his body involuntarily open the door and look into the room.
A few women were cleaning up all the items and calming Xie Ruo's previously tense nerves. Gai Ya used her power to suppress the blood poison in Xie Ruo's body, making all the black veins that appeared disappear along with the face that started to show life.
Looking at Xie Ruo who seemed to be about to wake up, the sound of the baby's cries seemed to be disguised from hearing. Qu Xuanzi went inside and went straight to Xie Ruo who started to open his eyes slowly.
Blue Iris Xie Ruo looked at the approaching Qu Xuanzi. The man immediately clasped his palm tightly, the uneasy emotions in his red eyes clearly visible.
"Ruoruo."
Xie Ruo was silent for a while, looking somewhat dazed. As soon as the memory of what really happened flashed, his look showed relief.
"Mirgini ...." Xie Ruo spoke hoarsely. He found it difficult to think of anything because his mind had been blank all of a sudden.
Qu Xuanzi directly hugged her tightly, afraid that Xie Ruo would just leave. He was filled with fear.
Xie Ruo also hugged Qu Xuanzi tightly, while holding back all the emotions accumulated in his heart. He had no idea what had just happened since receiving the Goddess of Memory exam, as his soul was completely sealed off from the outside world. He felt very afraid when he regained consciousness, afraid if something bad happened and his efforts were wasted.
"I'm afraid.." muttered Xie Ruo. He wanted to cry remembering everything that happened, but could not do it, could only tighten his arms to seek safety in his soul.
"I'm here, everything's fine." Qu Xuanzi spoke in a low tone.
He let go of the embrace as soon as he felt someone approaching, looking back, looking at the two women carrying each of the little babies wrapped in white blankets.
Two tiny babies fell asleep peacefully after crying. One of them looked reddish, while the other one looked pale and smaller. The two women looked at the couple in front of them clumsily.
"Y-Your Majesty—"
Since one of the women was too nervous, the woman next to him instantly broke through with a wide smile. "The baby is male and female. Your Majesty, congratulations!"
"Y-yeah ...." The bumbling woman next to him nodded slowly with an awkward smile.
Qu Xuanzi looked at the two babies in the arms of the two women. He did not know how to express it, whereas he himself had a strange feeling that never happened. There was a sense of wanting to touch the two little babies, but he was hesitant. Afraid that the abusive one would hurt two babies who looked very fragile and easily hurt.
The two women walked giving the babies in bundles of blankets towards them. The other one handed Xie Ruo a cheerful smile while looking at the extremely cute little guy. He just wished the baby didn't wake up now, for fear of seeing his red eyes.
While the clumsy woman is getting more and more careless when going to give up the baby in his hands. The thing is, what he was dealing with was a horrible man!
Frightened, he just handed it over and ran away. Qu Xuanzi was just as depressed. The problem is, this is the first time he met this small and fragile creature in person, let alone carrying it in his stiff hold until he has to be very careful not to crumble.
Xie Ruo who saw it rolled his eyeballs. Are all the gods weird? She gave birth but the man who was tense did not feel depressed.
The woman who had been smiling widely said, "Our goddess will come soon after her business is done, please wait." The woman bowed, then left with a feeling of relief.
After the departure of the woman as well as the others, Xie Ruo sighed, then smiled faintly. He looked at the little baby in his arms with a warm feeling. So you see, it feels like seeing someone he fought for life and death grow up healthy and safe.
Then his gaze was directed at Qu Xuanzi who looked puzzled. He said, "If you take her like that, she won't be comfortable."
Xie Ruo commented on Qu Xuanzi's rigid way of holding his own daughter who was already like carrying a pile of clothes. Xie Ruo was sure, the man knew absolutely nothing regarding this matter.
Qu Xuanzi looked at the way Xie Ruo hugged his baby, then followed him without asking much. Previously he was still a bit surprised to the point of not preparing anything.
"I can't call them twins, they don't look alike." Qu Xuanzi muttered seeing the two babies take turns.
"Are me and Xie Ran similar?" Xie Ruo sneered.
"You're not brothers." Qu Xuanzi was lazy to talk about Xie Ran who was Shu Xin or the Goddess of Light.
"Well, whatever." Xie Ruo shook his shoulders. Then he remembered something. "It looks like I caught something. The Demon God attacked me for this."
Qu Xuanzi understood Xie Ruo's intentions and looked at the baby in Xie Ruo's arms. The blood of gods and demons is in his body, the Demon God will do everything possible to obtain them.
"He won't get it, I promise." Qu Xuanzi would not be careless anymore. As long as the Demon God was still around, his family would not be safe. Moreover, the blood poison in Xie Ruo's body had to be removed immediately.
Xie Ruo looked at his little princess sadly. He also breathed. "Give him to me."
Xie Ruo put the baby in his arms onto the bed, then grabbed his little daughter from Qu Xuanzi. The boy was still soundly asleep after being wrapped in a thick, layered blanket. Xie Ruo could sense, his body temperature was as cold as ice.
"Cold poison is active when exposed to sudden temperature changes. Removing a cold poison was almost impossible, yet it could be turned into something beneficial. You know what I mean." Qu Xuanzi explained briefly. Xie Ruo's psychic power was higher than her, only Xie Ruo could transform the body's detrimental energy, into one with the body and develop together. This principle is the same as drinking thousands of toxins so that the body can be immune to toxins.
"Will it be effective?" Xie Ruo hesitated. If the cold poison could be used like that, why can't the blood poison?
"Maybe the poison is not completely clean, there remain the same symptoms, but at least on the other hand it can give him some advantages."
"Your Majesty is right, your daughter cannot outlive her with the cold poison on her body. Right now he looks fine, but not later or tomorrow. As a newborn, he was lucky enough to survive." Gai Ya suddenly appeared towards them.
Ignoring the trivial questions that had just appeared, Xie Ruo asked even more important things. "How long?"
"Depends on when the cold poison will reactivate. What do you think, a baby without strength can withstand the ferocious cold poison?"
Xie Ruo looked at Qu Xuanzi, the man only slightly nodded in agreement to Gai Ya's argument. Then Xie Ruo looked at his daughter who was still very calm. He could not let his son feel the pain. Therefore, the reason for giving him psychic powers was strengthened.
Xie Ruo was already planning on giving his daughter some psychic power to control the cold poison in the future. However, his age was still too small, making him doubtful. Psychic powers are too powerful to give to such a small child. Moreover, making cold toxins as part of the body of the little one. That's too risky.
But since there was no other choice to keep his life, Xie Ruo could only give up. He closed his eyes, letting the psychic power in his turn flow into the body of the little one slowly.
The gently flowing rays permeated slowly like thin smoke, giving a warm sensation around his body and making him comfortable with warmth.
Psychic powers that enter the body of the little one, directly netted to his mind and soul. Blood toxins that spread throughout the body and stop in the heart begin to seep into each part of the body, becoming one as an inseparable individual.
The cold temperature created in the body is like a frozen piece of ice. It spread to each surface and permeated through the meridian net, then gathered at the dantian forming a new constitution. The cold temperature that was fixed in his body and soul gave him many gaps to draw out all the energy like pure energy.
After the process was completed, Xie Ruo opened his eyes. At the same time, the pair of blue irises met another blue iris that looked very clear and full of ignorance. The little one looks at his mother in silence without batting an eye, then sneezes before finally moving in search of a comfortable position.
"You're awake." Xie Ruo smiled. He thought the process would be very difficult and painful, apparently not that bad.
"At this time, psychic powers and cold poisons have formed the body and soul of yin in your daughter's body. It will help his cultivation. However, it will also become a deadly parasite due to the presence of cold toxins. There's only way to cure it, which is the constitution of body and soul."
"The Soul ...." Somehow Xie Ruo suddenly remembered Huo Yuzheng. Oh no! His little daughter was still so small and weak, how could she be so cruel about giving this cute and petite baby to that pitiful boy? Can't!
"Have you guys prepared names?" Gai Ya asked. He was sure, this strange couple did not think until there other than how to fight the Demon God faster.
Qu Xuanzi and Xie Ruo exchanged glances. Gai Ya's right, they haven't thought of getting there. Strange, how would they call their child in the future?
"Do you have any recommendations?" Xie Ruo could not think of anything. He asked Qu Xuanzi and Gai Ya alternately.
"It would be better if His Majesty gave them a name. In addition to the obligations of parents, especially fathers, can also bless them with the title of descendant of the Celestial Emperor." Gai Ya glanced at Qu Xuanzi who still looked calm from earlier.
Qu Xuanzi was silent for a while, then glanced at his son who was still a sleeping henchman by Xie Ruo's side. "Fast the wind and hidden in the shadows, Feng Xiu."
"Ah, then the little one named Xiao! Qu Fengxiao!" Xie Ruo immediately excitedly gave a name as if he was naming a puppet. No need to be dizzy, won't her little daughter end up being the most petite sister like herself? Just give it the name Feng Xiao.
"That's great." Qu Xuanzi smiled happily. He was happy to see Xie Ruo getting excited again.
Gai Ya was just watching, confirming everything Xie Ruo said. Then, he switched the topic because he didn't want too much nonsense. "Since the situation is well under control, let's talk about more important things."
"You want to talk about 'reward'?" Xie Ruo replied lightly. He knew what the woman was feeling right now and did not care much.
"Rudely you could say so, but the 'reward' in question is not something like a gift or the like My reason for helping childbirth is for the defense of the world. Although I am not the Goddess of Memory who knows many things both past and future, I can feel the anxiety of every corner of the earth experiencing war. Out there, a war is going on between humans and demons. The Demon God wants your son to go to the God World, the balance of the world is threatened and some races are almost wiped out. I think this time, the war will involve more things."
"The boundary of nature is soon finished, the gods have also been prepared. In fact, just waiting for the movements of the Demon God was clearer. You know the rules." Qu Xuanzi replied without elaborating.
The gods could not engage in interracial conflict, could only help from a distance, but once some races involved gods, then the gods would intervene. That was why, he had only sent saint beasts to the Middle World.
But now that the devil has attacked blatantly, it is tantamount to declaring war. The Upper World would naturally not be silent and would go to Middle World to cleanse the demons.
"Then I leave the earth to His Majesty." Gai Ya spoke respectfully. Other than the thing he mentioned, there was actually still something else, but he held it back from being detected by Xie Ruo.
"Goddess Earth, are you not in the battle?" Xie Ruo asked.
Some gods were not allowed to participate in the battle because of their incompatible powers. Yet the Earth Goddess had great earth strength and terrain. His power is the earth, he can destroy the earth whenever he wants. Why not join the battle to stand in the support section like the Goddess of Life?
"Just like the Goddess of Memory, this goddess cannot follow because of the rules of nature. Wars always happen, either now or in the future without any calculation of when they will happen. Of course, this goddess will only be present when the earth is in a dangerous state, no matter how much the inhabitants shed blood."
The corner of Xie Ruo's eyes twitched. Why did she suddenly feel that it was better to be an Earth Goddess than a Woeful Memory Goddess? No matter the affairs of the world and not living in loneliness, always peaceful despite having to swallow a sense of annoyance because many creatures that damage the earth either blow it up or burn it.
"Because everything has been conveyed, I hope you can think about the true meaning of my words. The goddess is saying goodbye first." Gai Ya disappeared just like that after bowing. It is no longer visible.
Now there are only the two of them, meaning the four plus two small babies who are still cool to sleep without much behavior.
Gai Ya's words ringed in Xie Ruo's head. So that means, Gai Ya also knew more than him about the war that was about to happen?
"Xuanzi, is this time going to be okay?" Xie Ruo felt anxious. What if the Demon God set up a dangerous trap and targeted his cute son?
Qu Xuanzi looked at Xie Ruo, then placed Xie Ruo's head to lean on his shoulder and hugged the woman from the side. "Nothing's gonna happen to you guys."
Xie Ruo drowned in his own daydream. But I think something will happen in the future.
