Chapter 40: Xi'er's Birthday (Part 1)

  It's been several days since I left Yunshu College. On the way, I subdued a black rhinoceros as my mode of transportation. The black rhinoceros has thick skin and a massive body, with a broad back that can even accommodate someone sleeping on it. Next to me, the glutton is lazily sunbathing, occasionally grabbing snacks and stuffing them into his mouth.

  This morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, a happy smile appeared on her face. She was in a good mood because today was her beloved son's birthday.

  As she entered the living space, she softly called out. Before long, the little one floated up, staring at her with big black eyes and reaching out for a hug.

  "Mom's Xi'er, is really a good baby, muah muah! Today is Xi'er's one-week birthday, is Xi'er happy or not?" She held the soft little ball in her arms and gently kissed his chubby little hands.

  "Baby Xi'er, when will you call me 'mother'? Mother really wants to hear Xi'er call her 'mother'! Since today is Xi'er's birthday, mother wants to give you a gift, okay? It's very pretty! Mother made it herself, take a look and see if you like it?" She took out the well-carved red agate, polished the warm jade smooth, and wrapped it in high-quality silk as a ribbon, then put it around her precious son's neck.

  "Xī'ér, look, the middle character is Xī, representing you. The two sides are Mom's name. Mom will protect you well, just like this warm jade. Xī'ér is Mom's heart and soul. Mom will guard you well as you grow up." A warm and determined speech reveals a resolute mind.

  At this moment, the baby who had never "spoken" before slowly floated up and closed his eyes.

  "Xiao'er?" Zhan Qing's voice began to panic. No matter how strong the enemy was, no matter how ferocious the demon beast was, she would not change her expression. But if something happened to her precious son, she didn't know what she would do. What was going on?

  When she rose to over three meters in the air, the baby stopped moving, but her small body suddenly emitted a dazzling white golden light that made it hard for her to open her eyes. Then, the sound of cracking bones could be heard, and several faint cries of pain could be vaguely heard.

  "Does it hurt anywhere? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mom is here... " Zhan Liang's eyes were fixed on him anxiously, she couldn't figure out the situation at this time, and was worried that acting rashly would harm the little ball of flesh in front of her. If possible, she would rather bear it for him, than see him so frightened and flustered. So, all she could do was to comfort him dryly on the side.

  The light gradually became brighter and larger, the spring water in the life spring gushed out of control, landed on top of the small meatball, and then the painful cry weakened slightly. Watching all this, Zhan Light Crazy's eyes didn't dare to blink, fearing that something unpredictable would happen.

  The spring water rotates in a circle, initially at high speed, bringing out a few drops of water, then slowly weakening and finally coming to a standstill. Suddenly, a brilliant light bursts forth from the center point, splitting into rays that shine in all directions.

  "Ah~" a loud cry of pain, shouting so hard that her heart ached endlessly.

  "Xī ér, xī ér, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......" The palm of his hand was scratched by her fingernails until it bled, but he didn't know what to do.

  To her delight, after that voice, the light gradually disappeared, and the little one slowly fell down, closing his eyes and lying in her arms.

  "Xiao Bao?" He caught her little treasure and called out in a soft, hesitant voice.

  When the baby opened his eyes, he was stunned for a moment. What a pair of eyes! Dark and shiny like fine crystal, captivating, sparkling and shining. The delicate little nose twitched slightly, the small red mouth pouted slightly, and emitted waves of fragrance. Just now she was worried, until now, she found that the baby in her arms didn't look like an infant at all, his small body looked like a three or four-year-old child, who was now leaning against her obediently.

  If she hadn't witnessed what just happened with her own eyes, she would have thought that someone had switched her baby.

  "Sparkling"

  The baby in her arms heard the call, stared at her blankly, with a serious and somewhat amusing expression. After a long while, his red lips opened slightly, and he softly called out: "Mother..."

  Zhan Qingkuang couldn't believe what he saw and heard before his eyes, his expression was stunned.

  "Mom..."

  Another voice came, and she was sure everything was true. At this moment, her world suddenly became colorful, so beautiful that she wanted to shout loudly, wanting to announce to the whole world that her son could speak, could call her "mother".

  "Ah... Xi'er, it's Mommy, it's Mommy, MUA." She gave a big kiss on that chubby little face, and then War Light crazily picked up her precious son, spinning around in circles, with the sound of doting laughter filling the air.

  "Sparkling child"

  "Mom..."

  "Yiyi~yiyi~yiyi~my baby can call mom now, I'm so happy, so happy!"

  After being excited for a long time, the war finally calmed down, and looking at her son's face, she was even more proud. Such a beautiful baby is her son?

  "Xi'er, Mom hasn't wished you a happy birthday yet. Mom wishes Xi'er a lifetime of smooth sailing, peace and happiness, growing up healthy and happily." These brief words expressed the greatest wish of a mother for her child.

  The little soft ball leaned against her chest, with two small arms around her neck, looking up at her with big watery eyes, then leaning in to peck her on the cheek, and lowering his head to play with her hair with his chubby hands. He had no idea what joy his actions just brought to his mother.

  She kissed him fiercely several times, and only reluctantly put down the treasure in her arms. "Xie Er, Mom is really happy today, you are the best gift of Mom's life." She touched the place where she had just been kissed, her expression soft and gentle.

  Xuan Xi looked at her and clenched his small fist tightly.

  "Alright, stop being coy. Do you want to go back to the Spring Water?" Thinking about it, every time Yu'er just makes a brief appearance, now that so much time has passed, doesn't she have any feelings about it?

  "No need, accompany Mom..." The soft and tender voice of a child made his heart feel warm and fuzzy.

  "Is he saying that we won't be using it anymore?" Getting a nod from his little head, Zhan Qingchuan thought about it carefully and decided that it was fine. After all, Xi'er couldn't stay in the space forever, so taking him outside to take a look would be good too. Even if there were any dangers, she wouldn't let anyone touch her precious son's hair!

  "It's great, mother will take you out to see, today is Xi'er's birthday, what does Xi'er want, mother will buy it for you." Holding the fragrant and chubby little ball in her arms, Zhan Liangcang gently kissed his small forehead, her eyes firm, then flashed out of the space.
