“Little An, my darling!” Sang Luo’s face lit up, and she opened her arms. “Come over and let Mommy kiss you!”
“Mommy!” I missed you so much! You haven't come to the palace to see me and Daddy in so long!” The little guy was sleeping soundly when his biological father dragged him over. His mind was still a little muddled, but as soon as he opened his eyes and saw Sang Luo, he rushed into her arms, clinging to her like a little octopus.
“It hasn’t been that long, it’s only been a little over a month. Mommy has had other things to do recently. I’ll spend more time with you and your father when I have time in the future.” Sang Luo held Lan An in her arms, hefting him up and down. He was a bit heavier than before she left, and his little face was chubby. He was being very well taken care of.
Lou Xian Yue gave his own son an appreciative look. He hadn't raised him in vain. “Don't be too restless, be good. Mommy has younger brothers and sisters in her belly.”
Lan An blinked his round, blue eyes. “Are they Daddy’s?”
Sang Luo coughed lightly. “No, they are… they are from another uncle of yours.”
Lan An pouted his rosy little mouth, his fishtail lightly sweeping across Lou Xian Yue's arm. Daddy is really useless!
Lou Xian Yue touched his nose, a little embarrassed. He took Lan An from Sang Luo's arms, holding him easily with one arm. “He’s not small anymore, I should hold him.”
“Can Xiao An leave the water?”
“It’s okay, his body is much stronger than before. He can stay on land for half a month, no problem.” Lou Xian Yue took out a milk bottle.
Lan An skillfully took the milk bottle, bit on the nipple, and drank the milk in small sips, obedient and cute.
Sang Luo was amused. “Do merfolk also need to drink milk?”
“Normally, they don’t. This child probably takes after you. He quite likes drinking this. I traded for a lot of this milk powder from the mainland. It’s quite nutritious, and the taste is not bad.”
“Are you stealing your son’s food?”
Lou Xian Yue was afraid that the merfolk's body would be intolerant to dairy products, so he tasted a can before feeding Lan An milk powder. He had another thought, his pink lips slightly curving, and whispered in a secret language that only the two of them could hear, [Sang’er, do you know that after you have a child, even if you are not lactating, you have a faint milky scent on your body? I only want to taste that…]
Sang Luo's face flushed red, and she slapped away his claws that were secretly reaching for her waist. The child was still here, and this old man was shameless.
Sang Luo took out a few coconuts from her space.
She made a cup of coconut milk.
“Baby, try this flavor.”
“Mommy~ It’s so delicious.” Lan An took the coconut milk and took a big sip, his blue eyes suddenly brightened, and he drank even more happily.
Lou Xian Yue was curious. “Let me try it too.”
Sang Luo also made him a cup.
Lou Xian Yue condensed a lotus-shaped ice cube in his palm, “Plop~” He put it in the cup, and finished it in a few sips. He really knew how to enjoy himself.
Sang Luo also made strawberry-flavored, peach-flavored, cantaloupe-flavored… Lan An was very happy to drink them all, but he still liked coconut milk the most, it was oily and fragrant.
A breeze blew, and the petals fell one after another, like pink snow, like a dream.
Lou Xian Yue stood under the tree holding the child, a jade tree and qiong branches, his silver hair and robe also blown by the wind. Father and son were covered with a layer of petals, like a heavenly immortal holding a little immortal boy down to earth, a beautiful sight.
Sang Luo blinked and smiled. “Don’t move, you two.”
Lou Xian Yue’s hand, which was about to brush away the leaves on his shoulder, paused.
Sang Luo came to a few meters away, took out the camera, and snapped more than a dozen photos.
Lou Xian Yue walked over with the child and took a look, his lips curving into a light smile, his face even more illusory and charming. He casually picked up a few vines and leaves from the ground and braided two pink flower crowns, a small one for Lan An’s head and a large one for Sang Luo’s head. He took the camera and took several pictures of the mother and son.
He kept one photo and gave the rest to Sang Luo.
Xiao An looked extremely cute and beautiful, like a finely crafted doll. Any angle you take a picture of him is good-looking. Sang Luo selected two photos from dozens of photos, and took out a photo album from the space and clipped them inside.
Lou Xian Yue saw that there were still a few photos of Lan An in the album, and looked down at the cub in his arms, a little bigger than in the photos.
“I took this when I went to the Sea King Palace last time.” Sang Luo also took out several photo albums from the space. She prepared photo albums for each child to record their growth.
Three photo albums were still empty.
Lou Xian Yue probably knew the children she had given birth to.
The first time he met her was on a cruise ship. Sang Luo was pregnant with that snake-clan male. At that time, his clone felt her powerful fertility and was deeply attracted, chasing her all the way to the coast of the Western Continent.
There was also that lion king of the Atlantis Empire in the Western Continent, who also had a child with her.
There was one unnamed photo album left.
“Whose child is this?” he asked.
“It’s also from my snake husband. I was pregnant with twins at the time.”
“A Teng Snake clan?”
“…” Sang Luo looked at Lou Xian Yue, he could even guess that.
Lou Xian Yue smiled and said, “Among the snake clan king beasts, only the Teng Snake clan has twins in every generation. Could it be that you and Quan Xiu…?”
“Okay, don’t ask, it’s not him, I have nothing to do with him!” Sang Luo covered his mouth. If he asked any further, all her secrets would be revealed.
Lou Xian Yue looked gentle, not competing or grabbing, but in fact, he was not simple. He always had a persistence in getting to the bottom of everything about her.
Lou Xian Yue felt the gentle palm on his lips, blinked lightly, and waited for her to let go before saying, “I heard that the old patriarch of the Teng Snake clan is nearing the end of his lifespan and will soon pass the throne to his adopted son, Quan Xiu.”
Sang Luo looked down and flipped through the photo album, with no reaction.
It had nothing to do with her whether Caesar succeeded to the throne or not.
She could feel that Caesar had changed a lot this time they met again, and he was hiding a lot of things from her.
He was no longer the him from before.
Caesar no longer put her in his heart. Sang Luo’s obsession with him also faded. If he could save the other egg, the two of them might be able to continue to develop in the future. If that egg died, he wouldn’t have to be a beast father anymore.
Sang Luo remembered that Caesar said he wanted to get something from the old beast king, what was it?
The ground suddenly trembled and shook. Before Sang Luo could react, Lou Xian Yue took the lead to hug her and retreat a few meters. Almost at the moment the two left, a dozen poisonous green vines broke out of the ground where she had been standing, launching an attack on the three of them as if they had spiritual consciousness.
Hundreds of ice blades instantly shattered them.
Lou Xian Yue walked over, took the juice of the mutated vine, extracted the active element inside, and turned to Sang Luo and said, “This kind of mutated vine is rare. The juice after removing the toxicity can promote the growth of plants. Sang’er, do you have any seeds of spiritual plants in your hand?”
“Yes.” Sang Luo rummaged in the space. She often ate natural treasures, especially the spiritual materials during the fruiting period. The seeds were useless after eating, and it was a pity to throw them away, so she stored them all, there were so many.
Lou Xian Yue took a few seeds from her hand, sprinkled them on the ground, and poured this light green juice on them. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual plants took root and sprouted, and it would only take a few hours to mature and be edible.
“This is really a good thing! There are so few spirit herbs and spirit plants, and the more you grab, the less there are. The maturity period is also slow. I can grow some myself in the future. If I lack food, I don’t have to work hard to find it.”
Lou Xian Yue nodded. “Let’s find some more.”
“Mommy, I can help find it too~” Lan An raised his little hand.
Sang Luo kissed his soft little face and smiled, “Good baby, see who finds more with your daddy, there will be a reward.”
