Zhu Yao did not know what was going on with this world. Since when did a single Spirit Vein become a trash Spirit Vein, while quintuple Spirit Veins were the aptitudes of the highest quality? The result of this time's Spirit Vein test was that she and her own master were given the cold shoulder, and according to logic, they should have been sent to the Outer Clan. However, Yue Ying, however, was fought over by the three Sovereigns in the hall. No, they fought over him, wanting to take him in as their disciple, including Yi Ling's master, Xuan Xu.
In the end, seeing that Yue Ying was still "young", they would wait until he was ten years old before deciding who he would take as his master. And thanks to him, Zhu Yao was temporarily arranged to stay in a cave residence in the Inner Sect.
Regarding this, Zhu Yao expressed: Your dog eyes must be blind!
The place they lived in was extremely secluded, but the spiritual energy there was extremely dense. It could be seen that the Blue Parasol Sect had indeed placed great importance on Yue Ying. Zhu Yao rejoiced a little, as she recalled the scenario. In the future, they would have to camp here for a very long period of time. The dense Spiritual Qi would help them recover their cultivation as soon as possible. Before she had absolute power, she still had to try her best to avoid Yi Ling, that Mary Sue.
Looking around, she felt that it was necessary to set up some defensive formations.
"Master, what formation do you think we should set up here?" She habitually turned around to ask her master for help, but was startled by the little white ball next to her.
His face was pale and his hand was pressing on his abdomen. His face was covered in cold sweat.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhu Yao hurriedly squatted down, and hugged onto his swaying body. Her heart instantly tightened. Did he have any side effects from his rebirth?
"…" Yu Yan frowned, his expression was a little dazed. His breathing was unstable as he shook his head. "Your master doesn't know either … It's just that my abdomen hurts faintly."
Stomach? Zhu Yao was startled, and then, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound.
Reflexively, he stared at a certain someone's belly. Could this voice be …
Rumble …
Rumble rumble …
There were a few familiar cries.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Master, you … can't be hungry, right?"
This was obviously a scream of hunger, wasn't it?
"Hungry?" Yu Yan, who had abstained from food for several tens of thousands of years, expressed.
Zhu Yao: "…"
"Mom." | Yue Yin immediately raised his paw to make his presence known. "I'm hungry too."
Sure enough, his stomach made the same rumbling sound.
"I'll go find something to eat …" Zhu Yao sighed. Only then did she recall that it had been three days since she left the forest, and it seemed like she really had not eaten anything? She herself had already built her Foundation, so there was no need for her to eat, but her master and Yue Ying were only at the Aura Stage, so going hungry for three days was probably already their limit.
"Oh right, master …" Zhu Yao, who had just walked into the kitchen, turned her head back. "I forgot to ask. Have you guys stopped breastfeeding?"
Yu Yan: "… …"
| Yue Yin: "…"

Recently, Yu Yan was very depressed. It was one thing for him to turn into a fruit, but when he took on a human form, he could only turn into a child. Yu Yan, who had been an adult for several tens of thousands of years, expressed that he was not used to this body. Although his realm was still there, the spiritual energy in his body was pitifully little, only at the middle stage of Qi Condensation. It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of using up all the spiritual energy in his body with just a random spell.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't recover his spiritual aura. His body was too young, only about five or six years old, so it couldn't withstand too much spiritual aura. Even if he wanted to build his foundation, he would have to wait until he was ten years old. What worried him even more was that there was a Devil following him.
He did not have much contact with Devils, so he couldn't figure out the reason why the Devil insisted on following his own disciple. His disciple was so stupid, what if she was deceived by the Devil? Fortunately, up until now, Yue Ying had yet to do anything that was disadvantageous to his disciple.
His disciple was also soft-hearted, so he could still temporarily …
"Mother, I'm tired. I want a hug." Yue Ying reached out his two little hands towards Zhu Yao.
"Alright!"
"Mother, my feet hurt. I want a massage."
"Alright."
"Mother, I want a kiss."
"… …"
That string in Yu Yan's mind snapped with a 'pa' sound. His doll-like little face instantly emitted a cold aura.
Yue Ying curled his lips, however, he did not continue to insist. Tugging onto Zhu Yao's sleeves, he pitifully said. "Mother, I'm hungry!"
Zhu Yao could tell that he was doing it on purpose as well. Pinching his little face, she pointed at Yu Yan. "Look for your father!"
Yu Yan: "… …"
Yue Ying: "… …"
Her master was someone whose life skills were all lit up. Even though he had turned into a child, his culinary skills were still at a professional level. Ever since Zhu Yao cooked for them for the first time, she had passed the glorious and arduous task of cooking to her own master.
Mn, she was in charge of placing a small stool or something on top of the stove when he was cooking.
However, she did not know if it was because of malnutrition, although they had never missed out on their three meals a day, they would often feel hungry. Only when she occasionally heard the little saplings in the courtyard chatting, did she realize a problem.
She was a tree demon, while her master and Yue Ying could barely be considered as two fruit demons. As plant-type demons, although human food had a certain effect on them, it was not their main way of eating.
What they needed was … to bask in the sun!
That's right. Although they had already turned into demons, they still needed to undergo photosynthesis.
Hence, the first thing Zhu Yao did every morning, was to carry her master and Yue Ying to the place with the most sunlight in the courtyard, to bask in the sun! And it was a three hundred and sixty degree sunbath without any blind spots.
This method was very effective. At the very least, she no longer heard her master's stomach beating like a drum.
However, a new problem arose. After basking in the sun for a month, the two chubby dolls suddenly slimmed down. Even Yue Ying's double chin had disappeared.
Zhu Yao felt that there was definitely a problem with her method of raising children, as she carefully recalled the various methods of raising plants. She finally obtained the answer.
"Master, why don't I dig a hole and bury you two?"
Yu Yan: "…"
Yue Ying: "…"
Although this method looked very ridiculous, it was theoretically possible. After all, ever since they began to take human forms, they had been cultivating without soil.
Hence, Zhu Yao began to dig a hole …
Yu Yan and Yue Ying watched from the side with darkened expressions.
Until they jumped into the hole that was twice the size of their bodies, both of them were startled. Waves of warmth flowed into their bodies, as though the fatigue they had accumulated for the past few days was instantly swept away.
"How is it?" Zhu Yao squatted beside the hole and asked worriedly.
Yu Yan nodded. "This method is feasible."
"Big sis Yao, I feel much more energetic now." Yue Ying replied as well.
As expected!
Zhu Yao was at ease.
"Then I will bury you two deeper."
She scattered a few handfuls of soil, and just barely covered their feet.
The two of them who had slimmed down earlier, were suddenly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they returned to their previous chubby appearance. They had even grown two centimeters taller.
"This is?" They grew up after scattering a handful of soil. If she continued, they wouldn't immediately sprout, right?
Yu Yan's expression sank. "It seems like our current appearances aren't our true forms."
"True forms?" Zhu Yao was a little surprised.
"What he means is …" Yue Ying continued. "Our human forms aren't complete."
Zhu Yao sized up the two dolls. They did not lack any arms or legs, they were very complete.
"Just like how mortals need to experience time to grow." Yu Yan continued. "Most probably, we need to be buried deep in the soil before we can fully take human forms."
"I don't understand." Was he saying that one could only grow if they were buried in the soil?
"Yu Yao." Yu Yan sighed. "Our cultivation is recovering as well."
In other words, they basically did not need to absorb any more spiritual energy. As long as they stayed in the soil, they could recover their cultivation while growing up? That was too convenient, wasn't it?
Even Zhu Yao herself did not expect that she would actually receive such an unexpected reward from her stupid experiment.
"Then I will add a little more soil for you two."
She instantly felt full of motivation. Casting a wind-type mystic art, she buried a few handfuls of soil into the pit, instantly filling up half of the pit. She was just about to continue her efforts.
Suddenly …
"Ah!!!!" A sharp scream instantly interrupted her.
She felt a gust of wind. Something was currently flying towards her, carrying a sharp killing intent. Zhu Yao reflexively waved her hand, summoning a vine and flung it towards the direction of the gust of wind.
A "ding" sound could be heard.
An icicle fell onto the ground, sinking three inches into the soil.
"How can you do this!? Hurry and release junior-martial brother Yue! "Bug female lead Yi Ling stood at the entrance, glaring at her with a furious look. "You won't even let your own son off. You're basically not fit to be a mother."
"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Why did she always leave the house without taking her medicine?
"You're actually burying children who are only a few years old. Do you even have any humanity?" Yi Ling looked at the two children whose bodies were still half-buried in the soil with a pained look, and criticized.
"Why are you here?" After experiencing the eye-poison incident in the great hall back then, Zhu Yao really did not have the slightest bit of good impression towards this Yi Ling.
"If I didn't come, how would I know that your heart is so vicious?" Yi Ling ruthlessly glared at her. As though she was extremely furious, her face was flushed red.
"How am I vicious?"
"The truth is right before your eyes, you still dare to quibble!" Yi Ling pointed at the huge pit that was half-buried.
"What did I do?"
"You … You actually want to bury them alive. You're simply … simply insane."
"Bury them alive?" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and she sighed. "I say, girly … You're delusional, right? Who said I want to bury them alive? "
"Cut the crap!" Yi Ling interrupted her words. "Hurry and release junior-martial brother Yue. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you."
Haah, this temper of mine!
"I'm not going to let him go." Bite me then.
Yi Ling's expression sank. Pulling out a spiritual talisman, she then threw it towards her.
With a twist of Zhu Yao's hand, the vine from earlier whipped out, instantly breaking that spiritual talisman into two. That talisman was activated halfway, when it was suddenly interrupted, and it immediately self-destructed. A loud boom could be heard.
Yi Ling, who was the closest to it, was directly affected by it. Letting out a miserable cry, her face was instantly charred black.
Zhu Yao immediately used the vine to bind her tightly. Earlier, she controlled the angle, so that talisman did not hurt her.
She still wanted to struggle, but Zhu Yao immediately cast an art and tapped on her forehead, sealing her spiritual energy. In the face of absolute martial strength, all cheating devices were just paper tigers.
Zhu Yao could not help but retort. She was just an Essence-stage practitioner, and her combat skills were even this terrible. Just where did she get the confidence to directly make a move against her?
Should she say she was stupid, or stupid, or stupid?
"Release me!" Seeing that she was powerless to resist, the paper tiger could only begin to bluff. "If you dare to harm me, my master will not forgive you."
Zhu Yao rolled her eyes, and then looked at the two little ones in the hole whose faces were cold.
Mn, my master will not forgive you either.
But, what should she do about the current situation? Zhu Yao was a little troubled. No matter if today's matter was a misunderstanding or not, a grudge was already formed. She could be considered to have completely provoked this bug. Even if she were to tell her the truth now, she would instead reveal her own trump card.
"Junior-martial brother Yue, don't be afraid." Yi Ling suddenly turned to look at Yue Ying in the hole, and instantly changed into a gentle expression. "Senior-martial sister will definitely save you."
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Was this lady blind? Clearly, there were two people in the hole, yet she only saw Yue Ying?
"My master will come looking for you in a moment. I will definitely save you from the sea of bitterness." After saying that, she even looked at Zhu Yao meaningfully.
Sea of bitterness. Zhu Yao: "…"
As expected, she was unable to communicate with a Mary Sue.
Yet, as though Yue Ying's antenna suddenly malfunctioned, he did not even spare her a glance. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yao, and sweetly said. "Mother, this burying game is really fun. Bury us a little deeper."
"Game!" Yi Ling was startled. Her earlier arrogance was instantly extinguished, and her face was filled with disbelief. This was actually just a game?
Well done. Just as she was worrying about how she was going to explain herself, she had to give Yue Ying a thumbs up for his wit.
"Junior-martial brother Yue, you … You two are …"
"Mother …" Yue Ying continued to ignore her. He pulled out his hand from the ground, and waved his little hands at Zhu Yao. "Hurry, come over here."
"Mn." Zhu Yao released Yi Ling's restraints, walked over, and casually stroked Yue Ying's head. He was really too witty.
"Mother, bury me inside."
"Mn."
"Mother, dig me out."
"Mn."
"Mother, hug."
"Mn."
"Mother." Yue Ying suddenly pouted. "Kiss."
"…" I knew you little scoundrel didn't have any good intentions.
Zhu Yao flicked her finger on his forehead, and dug out the two little ones. After being buried for so long, it was about time to continue tomorrow. Let's first grab them and wash them clean.
"Zhu … Senior-martial sister Zhu." Yi Ling spoke out with an awkward look.
"You're still here!" Zhu Yao turned to look at her.
"I …" Yi Ling seemed to want to say something.
"Goodbye!" Zhu Yao immediately carried the two and entered the house.
"…" The words that were about to come out of her mouth were once again held back. Yi Ling's face was filled with embarrassment. She clenched her fists, and in an instant, her heart was filled with grievances. The reason she came today was because her master had the intention to take Yue Ying as his disciple, so she wanted to build a good relationship with her future junior-martial brother. Hence, the moment she saw junior-martial brother Yue being buried in the pit, she thought that Zhu Yao was going to harm him. She was simply worried about her fellow disciple.
Clearly, that Zhu Yao was in the wrong. Which mother would bury her own son in the ground to play?
