Late at night, as night fell, the sky was studded with brilliant stars, and one divine rainbow after another, like teors, flashed across the night sky.
Ning Yechen sat leaning against the trunk of a vast ancient tree, with Luo Hongye nestled in his arms, fast asleep.
In her sleep, the spiritual light of celestial and demonic energy slowly flowed through Luo Hongye’s ridians, her entire body emitting a faint glow like a little firefly.
Ning Yechen looked on with a doting expression, reaching out to gently caress Luo Hongye’s round and tender little face.
Every ti she ate a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, this little one would beco rather sleepy.
Just now, she had also been practicing controlling her spiritual energy and performing celestial arts with Yulin, which had consud a great deal of her spiritual energy.
No wonder she was so tired she had fallen soundly asleep again.
Shadow also curled up and burrowed into Luo Hongye’s embrace, its tail transford into sothing like a black cotton blanket, covering her body.
Yulin, having reverted to her human form, sat quietly to the side, not daring to speak.
"Yulin, this Lord asks you, do you know of the Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma?"
"This Lord requires one that is over ten thousand years old."
Ning Yechen suddenly lifted his eyes and asked, looking at Yulin.
Startled by Ning Yechen’s sudden question, Yulin thought seriously for a mont.
"A Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma over ten thousand years old…"
"The Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma is already extrely rare. One that is over ten thousand years old is even more of a rarity in the world…"
"You haven't seen one in these Immortal Realm Trials either?" Ning Yechen asked with a frown.
If there wasn't even one in the Immortal Realm Trials, then finding a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma in the world would be very difficult…
In that case, the only remaining thod would probably be to plant one himself and wait for ten thousand years…
Yulin had a troubled expression, but then, as if she had thought of sothing, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said:
"I rember now! It seems that in the Northern Extre Cold Land, there is a Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma that has been growing for ten thousand years!"
"However, the Northern Extre Cold Land is extrely dangerous!"
"Its level of danger is comparable to that of the Sunken Sea!"
"That place is a world of ice and snow naturally ford by the gathering of the world's cold spiritual energy. The blizzards are bone-chillingly cold and can freeze a person into an ice sculpture in an instant!" 𝙧ᴀNǑᛒÊṣ
"The overlord residing in the Extre Cold Land is a ten-thousand-year-old Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix!"
"Her cultivation is even above mine!"
"Her strength is comparable to that of the Sunken Sea's overlord, the Azure Sea Divine Whale!"
"But for you, my lord, it shouldn't be a problem…" As Yulin spoke, she suddenly felt she was being overly concerned.
The problems she was describing were probably no difficulty at all for Ning Yechen…
When Ning Yechen heard Yulin speak of the ten-thousand-year Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix, he was originally a little interested.
But then, hearing that her cultivation and strength were about the sa as that Azure Sea Divine Whale, his interest suddenly vanished completely…
Ten thousand years of cultivation, and she's that trash…?
So that Azure Sea Divine Whale I killed with a single hand when I first arrived was the overlord immortal beast of the Sunken Sea…?
Then that ten-thousand-year Frigid Heaven Ice Phoenix probably isn't much better…
Disappointed…
Ning Yechen’s face couldn't hide his disappointnt with the Immortal Realm Trials.
He had thought that in the legendary Immortal Realm Trials, there would be so more formidable opponents, but they were nothing special.
However, since he had learned that the ten-thousand-year Spirit-Calling Celestial Ganoderma might be there, he still had to make a trip.
Coincidentally, the direction his wife was heading was also towards the Northern Extre Cold Land.
It was right on the way…
"Alright, you can go now."
After getting the information he wanted, Ning Yechen said to Yulin.
Tomorrow he would continue to chase after his wife, so he no longer needed the Jade Qilin to stay and be a sparring partner for Luo Hongye.
"My lord, are you planning to just let go…?" Yulin asked, finding it sowhat incredible.
As a Jade Qilin, she was considered an auspicious beast among immortal beasts, and her entire body could be said to be a rare treasure.
She was an excellent and rare material for both alchemy and artifact refining, and countless cultivators would have loved to subdue her or take her for themselves.
Yet Ning Yechen, after she had served as a sparring partner for Luo Hongye for a day, had chosen to let her go so easily…
"You don't want to go?"
Ning Yechen asked aningfully, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly as he looked at Yulin’s astonished and shocked expression.
This was the first ti he had let soone go, and the other party was unwilling to leave.
A chill ran through Yulin’s body, and she hurriedly shook her head.
"No, no, no, I'll go now, I'll go now…"
Yulin cautiously got up. Just as she was preparing to turn and leave, her expression was hesitant and conflicted. She then turned back again and ca before Ning Yechen with a solemn expression.
"My lord, I… actually have a favor to ask of you…!"
"Speak." Ning Yechen said calmly.
"I implore you to accept my child!"
Yulin took out a verdant, scaled Qilin egg from her immortal ring and held it up with both hands, presenting it to Ning Yechen.
Ning Yechen glanced at the Qilin egg in Yulin’s hand, frowned slightly, and asked:
"You're willing to give your child to this Lord?"
Yulin’s expression was bleak. She let out a light sigh and said calmly:
"Naturally, I am reluctant."
"But I have no choice!"
"Besides natural reproduction, my Jade Qilin clan can also use the spirit of heaven and earth to conceive an immortal fetus."
"This immortal fetus is one that I have nurtured here with the spirit of heaven and earth."
"The Jade Qilin is hailed as a supre treasure of heaven and earth, its value extraordinary. Countless immortal clan cultivators covet my Jade Qilin clan, to the point that in this world, my clan is gradually disappearing…"
"If I were to leave this child here, it would also face danger one day…"
"Are you so certain in handing it over to this Lord that this Lord won't use the child in your hands for alchemy?”
Ning Yechen said, propping his cheek on his hand and looking at Yulin with a playful expression.
Yulin’s heart tightened. She swallowed her saliva and said with a determined expression:
"My lord wouldn't even deign to look at , so how could you possibly be interested in my child…!"
"I believe that you, my lord, are not that kind of person!"
"You might be speaking too soon. This Lord let you go only because I temporarily have no need to use you for alchemy."
"If this Lord were to need you, do you think you could leave?" Ning Yechen said indifferently.
His words were cold and ruthless, but they were indeed the truth.
If he needed a certain part of the Jade Qilin for alchemy, he would definitely act without rcy.
Yulin’s heart shook, and she also felt a trace of fear, but after a slight hesitation, she once again said with a determined gaze:
"Even so, you, my lord, are more worthy of my trust than others!"
"Even if they don't need us, other people would not spare my Jade Qilin clan, but you did!"
Seeing Yulin’s firm will, Ning Yechen pondered for a mont and said calmly:
"This Lord can help you leave these Immortal Realm Trials."
"But as for adopting this immortal egg, this Lord is not interested."
Hearing this, Yulin lowered her head, her expression bleak.
She was conceived and born in the Immortal Realm Trials and had a mission to guard this heavenly domain.
Besides, even if she really did leave the Immortal Realm Trials with the Qilin egg, it would probably only be more dangerous…
Her child really couldn't catch the lord's eye…
Yulin thought with disappointnt. Her gaze inadvertently fell upon the sleeping Luo Hongye in Ning Yechen’s arms, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"My lord, my child may not be of any use to you."
"But your daughter will definitely like it!"
"You can leave this child to your daughter as a pet, or as a guardian immortal beast!"
"I only ask that you do not disdain it!"
Ning Yechen looked down at the sleeping Luo Hongye in his arms and suddenly hesitated a little.
If he were to give this immortal egg to his child, to be her companion immortal beast, it seed that wouldn't be a bad idea…
The child would probably like it too…
Yulin, seeing Ning Yechen’s hesitant expression, gazed at him, her face full of anticipation and nervousness.
After hesitating for a mont, Ning Yechen finally nodded in agreent and accepted the
Qilin egg.
"Alright, this Lord accepts it."
"Thank you, my lord…!"
Yulin knelt and kowtowed in gratitude.
When she saw how dotingly Ning Yechen treated Luo Hongye, she had thought that if she used Luo Hongye as a breakthrough point, he would probably consider accepting it.
And the facts proved it to be true.
A long-cherished wish in her heart was finally fulfilled…
