The little cub suddenly woke up and cried softly. Fearing he would wake Sang Luo, Si Ye quickly went over and picked it up from the wooden bed, gently comforting it, "Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy's here."
Fei Yuan looked at the child, his eyes softening again, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "When you were first born, you were just this small, and I held you like this too..."
Si Ye's goosebumps rose. "Are you referring to taking advantage of the situation to secretly try to take me back to the Central Region?"
"How did that female Si Jiong tell you all this?"
"She didn't tell me, I guessed."
"..."
Si Ye glared coldly at Fei Yuan. This old phoenix had been coveting his phoenix body for a long time and was capable of stealing a child.
"Is it uncomfortable? Why is it crying so much?" Si Ye gently rocked the cub, trying to lull it to sleep, but his daughter cried even louder. He glanced at Sang Luo, who was faintly waking up on the bed, and quickly carried her out, sitting on the railing of the long corridor, enjoying the night breeze.
Fei Yuan followed him out and thought for a moment before saying, "This child should be hungry."
"Didn't Luo Luo just feed it? Why is it hungry again?" Si Ye asked Fei Yuan, "Do you have any formula for cubs in your palace?"
Fei Yuan didn't even have children, so where would he get formula? He called a beastman to go out and buy some. The beastman quickly returned with hundreds of cans of formula, the highest quality cub formula on the continent, made from the milk of a tamed King-ranked Star Beast, with countless spirit materials and beast crystal powder added, definitely enough nutrition for the cub's growth and development for a year.
Holding the wailing cub in one arm, Si Ye used his other hand to unscrew the milk bottle cap and add water.
These hands, which could hold heavy armor weapons weighing hundreds of pounds without trembling, almost spilled the water at this moment.
"The book says the ratio of formula to water is 1:7, and the water temperature should be 45 degrees... Is this water a bit too hot? Let me blow on it some more."
Seeing his flustered appearance, Fei Yuan said, "If you don't want to raise it one day, you can give it to me. I'll raise it."
"Get lost! I can raise it myself!"
After feeding the cub, it finally stopped crying and fell asleep.
Si Ye breathed a sigh of relief, put it back on the small wooden bed, and estimated when it would wake up hungry next time, preparing the formula in advance.
...
Sang Luo slept soundly for a whole day and night before waking up.
When she woke up, her mental power was fully restored, and her whole body felt comfortable. She opened her eyes and saw that Fei Yuan and Si Ye were both there.
Si Ye was sitting in a grand chair by the bed, reading a book with great concentration.
Fei Yuan was holding a bowl of medicine, gently stirring it with a small gold spoon inlaid with carved phoenixes and jade. He heard movement by the bed and looked over, smiling, "Little Luo'er is finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, I was planning to wake you up."
Sang Luo took the bowl of medicine he handed over and drank it in one gulp. It was bitter with a hint of sweetness.
She had gotten used to the bitter taste after drinking so many medicinal soups during this time.
"Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?" Si Ye looked up from his book and asked.
"No." Sang Luo looked at the little cub sleeping obediently on the small wooden bed, and then remembered something, and quickly asked, "By the way, how long have I been asleep?"
The sky outside the window was dim, making it difficult to tell whether it was morning or evening.
Si Ye, "You slept for a whole day. It's dusk, you shi (5-7 pm) now."
"I slept for so long?" Sang Luo quickly said, "Quick, bring the child to me. It must be starving. Won't it starve? I'll feed it some milk!"
She remembered how noisy it was when she gave birth to the little wolf cubs. She had to feed them more than ten times a day. If they weren't full, they would keep crying. All three cubs cried together, which made her head spin. After feeding them breast milk for two days, she decided to let Lan Cang feed them formula.
"No need, I just fed it formula." Si Ye was a novice dad, but he was learning quickly.
He put down the book, took out two boxes of sugar酥 pastries, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, "I bought them from the dietary studio at noon. You must be hungry after sleeping all day. Quickly eat something to fill your stomach."
Sang Luo picked up a goose-yellow pastry wrapped in oil paper from the wooden box and took a bite. The outer shell was so crispy that it crumbled, sprinkled with oily white sesame seeds, and filled with sugar. It tasted a bit like wife cake, but it was sweet with a salty fragrance, so it wouldn't feel greasy even if you ate too much.
She had been forced by Si Ye to go shopping before, and she would order a box of this pastry every time she passed that food shop, but the pastries in that shop were so popular that they were often sold out. Si Ye must have made a special trip to wait early.
Si Ye was afraid that she would choke, so he poured a glass of milk, "Moisten your throat."
After Sang Luo was full, she held the child and watched for a while, and it was late again.
Fei Yuan also went back to his bedroom to rest.
Si Ye stayed in the side hall to accompany her.
Sang Luo, who had slept all day, was full of energy. Seeing the handsome face with a hint of sleepiness, she thought that this little cub must have tossed him a lot today.
She moved to the inside of the bed, leaving space on the outside, patted the soft mattress, and chuckled, "A-Ye, come over."
Si Ye looked at the bed, then at her, his face flushed slightly, "I haven't finished reading this book yet, I, I'll read it for a while longer..."
Although they even had a child, they had only done it once, and when he saw her body and smelled the fragrance on her body when he got close, he couldn't help but blush and his heart beat faster...
He was still a young and vigorous male beast after all.
Sang Luo was unhappy, "But I want to lie down and hug you for a while ~" The ending sound was charming and seductive.
Si Ye's Adam's apple rolled. How could he possibly resist? He got into bed and hugged her, lowering his head to kiss her intimately...
It was just a kiss, he didn't dare to do anything else.
Sang Luo originally wanted him to go to bed and rest, but she didn't expect to excite him again.
In the second half of the night, the cub woke up hungry from time to time, and Si Ye had another sleepless night.
Two days later, Si Ye received another paper crane with a message. He said to Sang Luo, "Luo Luo, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay, come back early."
As soon as Si Ye arrived outside the hall, he saw Si Jiong coming in person.
He was shocked, "Why are you here?"
"You brat still dares to ask? I asked you to bring your granddaughter back to the ancestral land. How many days has it been? I haven't even seen my good granddaughter's face! I'm so anxious that I can't even eat, so I had to put aside government affairs and come here myself."
Si Jiong knew Fei Yuan's style of snatching children. The longer she stayed in the Phoenix Palace, the greater the chance her granddaughter would be abducted.
Si Jiong looked around, "Where's Luo'er? I only received the news a few days ago, and I didn't expect her to give birth so quickly. I didn't get to be by her side, so I brought some tonics to visit and nourish her body."
"Resting in the hall, she and the child are both there."
Si Ye brought Si Jiong over.
Sang Luo smiled when she saw Si Jiong coming, "Beast Mother, how did you find the time to come over?"
"I missed you so much, so I came to see you and my good granddaughter."
Si Jiong put the large and small brocade boxes on the table. She brought too many things. Not to mention the table, the room was almost full. She put the things back into the space ring and put it on Sang Luo's hand.
She touched her slightly thin cheeks, "It's really hard on Luo'er. Look how thin this little face is. Why didn't you return to the clan when you gave birth? That fellow Fei Yuan brought you to the palace and didn't reveal any news to the outside world. I only heard a few days ago that there was an auspicious celestial phenomenon in the Phoenix Palace, as if a new Divine Relic King Beast cub was born, and after sending someone to inquire, I found out that you had already given birth."
"Auspicious omen?" Sang Luo looked at Si Ye, "What auspicious omen? Why don't I know about it?"
Getting up in the morning to make up for yesterday's monthly ticket update~
