After the little Pixiu was born, it remained very quiet and didn't cry, unlike the three little wolf cubs. Sang Luo was initially a bit worried about its health, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it make a soft sound.
"The little one must be hungry; I'll feed it."
Si Ye handed the child to Sang Luo, and his face turned red when he saw her pull aside her chest clothing.
The little cub sniffed the scent and opened its mouth to bite.
Si Ye's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Luo Luo, is, is that okay?"
Seeing Si Ye wanting to rush up and snatch the child away, Sang Luo slapped his hand away, making a fuss, "What are you doing?"
"Won't the little cub's teeth hurt you?"
"…" Sang Luo was speechless. "It was just born; it doesn't even have teeth yet. How could it hurt me?"
Si Ye blushed with embarrassment. Since he was born, the Pixiu clan had not had any new offspring. This was the first time he had seen a living Pixiu cub. He had never thought about having offspring before and didn't know the process of raising them.
Seeing Sang Luo calmly breastfeeding the child, he was still apprehensive, "It will grow teeth in at most half a month. Can't you always rely on you like this… like this to breastfeed?"
Sang Luo glared at him reproachfully and sighed, "A Ye, you are really the dumbest beastman I have ever met. Other beastmen would have warmed the milk bottle by now."
Si Ye became anxious, thinking she wanted to have other beastmen raise the child, "I'll learn now!"
"Okay! I'll give you a chance. I'll breastfeed it for the next few days. After it grows teeth, you can feed the baby formula."
"Okay."
Si Ye left in a flash. When he returned, he had a thick stack of books in his hand, such as postpartum care, cub feeding manuals… After Sang Luo finished feeding the child, she looked up at his serious and solemn appearance and the books in his hand, and couldn't help but laugh.
Si Ye's thoughts were disturbed by her again, and his gaze fell on her face, which was flushed.
"Finished feeding?"
"Yes, the cub was sleepy again after eating. You can carry it to bed to sleep." The little Pixiu was quite easy to raise. After feeding, it slept quietly without crying, which was very worry-free.
Si Ye closed the book and got up, took the cub from her, gently placed it in the wooden bed, then turned and walked to the bedside, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
His kiss was clumsy and gentle, completely opposite to the unrestrainedness he usually showed.
"Knock, knock,"
Fei Yuan stood at the door and knocked twice, "This Emperor knows that you two are enjoying a reunion after a brief separation, but this is my Phoenix Palace, so restrain yourselves a bit."
"Can't you knock before you come in?!" Si Ye hurriedly fastened Sang Luo's chest clothing, covering a large expanse of snowy white scenery, and covered her with the quilt, wrapping her tightly, not even revealing her neck, as if he wanted to wrap her into a rice dumpling. He looked displeased at Fei Yuan who was walking in.
Fei Yuan said coolly, "First, I knocked. Second, this is my Phoenix Palace. Where is the logic of the owner knocking?"
He brought a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup, with a smile on his wickedly handsome face, "Good Sang'er, drink the medicine. Three times a day, and I'll brew you another bowl tonight."
"I'll feed her." Si Ye helped Sang Luo sit up against the head of the bed and took the bowl of medicine.
Fei Yuan looked at the two of them and left first.
Si Ye sat by the bed, blew on the soup spoon, and fed it to her.
Sang Luo drank it in one gulp. The medicinal soup was no longer bitter; a lot of sugar had been added…
After drinking the medicine, Si Ye put the medicine bowl on the table, reached out and wiped the corner of her lips, then helped her lie flat on the bed, glanced in the direction outside the door, and whispered, "Luo Luo, don't be deceived by that old phoenix with ulterior motives. He has designs on you and is not sincere!"
Sang Luo chuckled, "An old phoenix with ulterior motives? You used to say that this uncle treated you well and was respected by you."
Si Ye's face darkened, "The past is the past, and now is now. Ever since he had those crooked thoughts about you, I don't want to recognize him anymore."
"I also have…" Sang Luo thought of the top-quality elixirs in Fei Yuan's hand. They were too useful during pregnancy, almost painless natural childbirth, and she really couldn't refuse.
Aze had said before that if she wanted to be promoted to the Emperor rank in the future, it was best to find an alchemist to escort her, and Fei Yuan was a ready-made Emperor rank alchemist. It would be a bit of a pity if she didn't get him.
She just didn't know if Fei Yuan could refine the Reincarnation Pill. If he could, she wouldn't mind giving birth to a child for him in exchange. Anyway, she would provide the natural treasures, and she just needed to make sure she could get pregnant.
"A Ye, to be honest, I might have a child with him."
"Do you like him?" Si Ye's voice was sour.
Sang Luo shook her head, "I don't have any feelings for Fei Yuan."
Both of them knew very well that they were just taking what they needed.
Fei Yuan wanted offspring.
Sang Luo wanted elixirs.
A corner of black clothing flashed past the door very quickly.
Si Ye glanced towards outside the hall without saying anything. After a moment, a white paper crane, half the size of a palm, flew in.
He took the message paper crane and opened it to take a look.
Sang Luo asked, "Who sent the message? What did it say?"
"It's Mother Beast." Si Ye closed the paper crane, casually folded it into a small lantern, and placed it on the table, "The old woman is anxious to see her granddaughter and told me to quickly take the child back to the Pixiu clan."
"Are you going back now?"
"Not going back. I still want to spend a few more days with you. I'll serve you until you finish your confinement before going back. Let her wait."
Sang Luo, "…Mother Beast's heart must be broken to have a son like you."
"Hehe, her beautiful concubines and consorts will soothe her broken heart." Si Ye didn't care.
Sang Luo yawned, her voice soft, "A Ye, I'm going to take a nap."
"Okay, sleep peacefully; I'll be with you." He said gently.
The physical damage and fatigue from Sang Luo's childbirth can be alleviated through healing techniques and spiritual medicines, but the psychological fatigue can only be healed slowly. She was very sleepy and soon fell asleep.
Si Ye sat on the chair by the bed, picked up a book, and started reading.
After a while, Fei Yuan walked into the hall. He walked to the small wooden bed, looked at the sleeping little cub, his face gentle and envious, "What good offspring. I also want to have one."
He had been thinking about it for hundreds of years.
He didn't expect that his little nephew, who in his opinion hadn't even grown all his hair, would have offspring faster than him.
Si Ye closed the book, his red eyes cold and unruly, "Then you should think more about it. Maybe you can have a sweet dream tonight."
Fei Yuan walked to the bed, gazing at the sleeping Sang Luo, his black eyes deep and night-like, "She will give birth to me."
Si Ye's heart surged with anger. He got up and wanted to throw the book, but then he caught sight of Sang Luo sleeping soundly on the bed, controlled his emotions, gently placed the book on the table, and said to Fei Yuan, "Let's go out and have a fight."
"Little Yezi, how come I didn't realize you were so protective of your food before?" Fei Yuan said with a mocking smile, his voice deep and cool, "Most of the Gu poison in my body has been resolved. You haven't even broken through to the Emperor rank yet. You should weigh your own strength first."
"…"
"Furthermore, this matter has nothing to do with you; it depends on whether she is willing or not."
Si Ye's fist slowly fell.
Fei Yuan smiled at his appearance, "It seems she has told you. Then, little Ye, Uncle will be frank. I want her… belly!" His voice was low, mellow, cold, and bewitching, "Her fertility is very strong and she will definitely be able to conceive my child."
Si Ye's face was ugly, "She won't love you."
Fei Yuan, "I don't need it."
No, staying up late is giving me a headache. I will definitely make up for the extra chapter for the monthly ticket tomorrow.
