"Where’s the child?" Lanling asked.
Ji Xiuning replied, "Not far from here, I’ll go get him."
With that, Ji Xiuning’s figure suddenly vanished.
About half an hour later, she reappeared, holding a child less than two years old.
The child was indeed very beautiful, as if carved from jade, truly like a masterpiece from heaven. No wonder Ji Xiuning abandoned him initially but still fell for him again upon seeing him.
Moreover, one could tell at a glance that he was a Demon Race baby, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, especially the faint golden demon pattern on his neck.
He even bore so resemblance to Lanling’s son, Lan Suo, not to ntion the delicate wings on his back.
This baby had skin as white as snow, but his breathing was slow, almost one breath every four or five seconds, and his vitality was very weak, already in a prolonged comatose state.
He left his mother’s body last month and entered this world, growing until now has overdrawn his energy. So to maintain life, he has stopped growing, surviving at the bare minimum.
If he doesn’t receive help, in a few months, his vital energy will be completely extinguished.
"What’s his na?" Lanling asked.
"Qi Ren," Ji Xiuning replied.
This child was abandoned even before birth, hence nad Qi Ren.
Lanling frowned and said, "That’s a bad na, let’s change it, call him Ningren, soone born of Ji Xiuning, hahaha!"
He gently pried open the mouth of the Ji Ningren baby, took out a crystal stone dagger, stabbed it into his heart, withdrew a drop of Golden Demon Blood, and dripped it into his small mouth.
The drop of Golden Demon Blood exploded with a flash of golden light, then vanished without a trace.
Imdiately, his body began to heat up, as if receiving a gentle electric shock, his limbs trembled slightly.
anwhile, Ji Xiuning’s beautiful eyes remained fixed on the child, following the slight twitch of his limbs with her own.
Throughout the process, she held her breath, not blinking even once.
After several minutes!
This exceedingly beautiful child slowly opened his eyes groggily, yawning sleepily as if having slept a very long ti.
Lanling’s Golden Demon Blood was indeed effective, directly revitalizing and awakening him.
His eyes were truly blue, bright, like gemstones.
Even when his eyes were closed in sleep, he was incredibly adorable, and now open, it seed capable of lting one’s heart.
"Mama..." After waking, the child sweetly called out to Ji Xiuning.
Ji Xiuning suddenly held him tightly in her arms, not crying, just savoring his scent.
The child lay quietly on Ji Xiuning’s shoulder, very composed and graceful, staring wide-eyed at Lanling. After a good while, he carefully extended a small white hand, seemingly full of affection for Lanling.
Lanling reached out and gently held his small hand.
The child did not smile, but shifted direction, resting his right cheek on his mom’s shoulder, continuing to watch Lanling.
Lanling discovered he was indeed very composed and graceful.
Lan Suo was already considered genteel, but he loved to smile. This Ji Ningren baby, though not even two years old, already exuded a lancholic aura.
"I have no milk, could you procure so cow’s milk or goat’s milk..." After holding for quite a while, Ji Xiuning said to Gou Li.
Lanling said, "Take him to Mrs. Dina, she has plenty of milk, and Lan Suo can’t finish it all."
"Yes!" Gou Li carried the child and left.
...
"What do you an?" Lanling asked.
Ji Xiuning replied, "What do you an?"
Lanling said, "Are you joining , or is this rely a transaction?"
Ji Xiuning answered, "It’s rely a transaction."
Lanling said, "You claim to be an inspector for the Sky Holy Palace, overseeing the various laboratories and Heaven Tomb?"
"Correct!" Ji Xiuning said, "But don’t have high expectations of , I don’t know the location of the most important Heaven Tomb, even if I did, I wouldn’t disclose it. Our transaction detail is, you save my child, I save Tang Ren!"
Lanling asked, "Then how will you save Tang Ren?"
Ji Xiuning replied, "Do you know there is a Black Hole Vortex within the energy heart of the Sky Priest E Yun?"
Lanling shook his head, he truly did not know.
This made sense now, precisely because his own energy heart had a Black Hole Vortex, allowing him to unleash black hole attacks, just as Tang Ren could control Star Magic teorite powder.
Ji Xiuning said, "The Black Hole Vortex is almost unsolvable, but it can indefinitely extend life!"
"How is that done?" Lanling asked.
Ji Xiuning said, "Heart replacent, energy heart replacent!"
Ji Xiuning explained, "The Sky Priest E Yun has been able to sustain life by constantly replacing energy hearts. We know this Black Hole Vortex expands continuously, eventually consuming the entire heart. Once it devours the energy heart, it will then devour the body, brain domain, bloodline energy, etc., ultimately consuming all vitality and energy of a person. But by continuously replacing the energy heart, life can be extended. According to the Demon Territory’s ranking, a Demon Saint Layer powerhouse’s energy heart can sustain life for five years, a Sub-King Layer powerhouse’s can sustain ten years."
Lanling nodded, this plan was indeed feasible, although it did not solve the fundantal issue, it could extend life.
However, Lanling had considered similar plans before, but one crucial reason was the compatibility of the energy heart and bloodline.
It was certain that they were not compatible, and once an energy heart was incompatible with the bloodline, death was instantaneous, the body would explode, shattering to pieces.
Thus, Lanling expressed his view.
"You’re right, there indeed is such an issue," Ji Xiuning said, "But, this problem has been resolved by the Demonic Laboratory of the Dragon Temple, they have modified energy hearts to be attribute-less."
An attribute-less energy heart could match any bloodline talent.
Lanling said, "Continue."
Ji Xiuning explained, "E Yun is not the only Sky Priest with black hole attack capability, almost every few generations, the Sky Holy Palace has a Sky Priest responsible for black hole attacks. About a millennium ago, the Dragon Temple’s secret laboratory had already researched and developed powerful attribute-less energy hearts, modified from those extracted from the bodies of top-tier strongn of the Demon Territory. This secret laboratory operated for seven hundred years, storing a total of eighty-three energy hearts, with twenty-nine being Sub-King Layer."
Lanling asked, "How many Sub-King Layer energy hearts are left now?"
Ji Xiuning replied, "This is top-secret, I naturally wouldn’t know. However, this ti I went south to the Demon Territory, besides inspecting the secret lab and secret Heaven Tombs, I also had a mission to retrieve a Sub-King Layer Attributeless Energy Heart, because E Yun will soon need a replacent heart. And inside this secret laboratory, besides possessing one Sub-King Layer Attributeless Energy Heart, there are also two Demon Saint Layer Attributeless Energy Hearts, just enough to extend the life of Tang Ren!"
Lanling asked, "Mirror, do you think she is telling the truth about this? Did she lie?"
"No lie, she’s speaking the truth," the Mirror Demon King replied, continually monitoring Ji Xiuning’s ntal fluctuations.
Lanling said, "I’m going with you to this secret laboratory."
"No way..." Ji Xiuning said, "I’ll go alone, then I’ll send soone to deliver two Demon Saint Layer Attributeless Energy Hearts in exchange for my child, that’s the deal’s content. The address of that secret laboratory cannot be disclosed to you, and you can forget about vying for the Sub-King Layer Energy Heart."
