"The baby's name!?"
Lin Zitong looked at Yan Shouyi with overwhelming surprise. She had thought that with Yan Shouyi's dull wit, he wouldn't have considered naming the child in advance.
For the past few days, she had been racking her brains to come up with good and meaningful names for the baby, and she often discussed it with Luo Ning and the others. Da Feng Novel Network.
She hadn't expected this dullard to finally show some thoughtfulness.
As Lin Zitong opened the brocade pouch, she said, "Even if it's a name you thought of, none of them are valid without my approval!"
"Of course," Yan Shouyi chuckled.
Opening the brocade pouch, Lin Zitong found a piece of paper. After a single glance, she couldn't help but raise her hand to hit Yan Shouyi.
"Gou Dan and Cui Hua, how could you think of these names!" Lin Zitong said angrily, "If my children are named this, I'll fight you to the death!!"
Yan Shouyi's expression changed, and he quickly stopped Lin Zitong, shouting in his defense:
"These names were chosen by Xiao Long. We wrote them on the front and back of the same piece of paper! Flip it over and see!"
Although Lin Zitong stopped her hand, she was still displeased. "Xiao Long hasn't even finished primary school, what good names could he come up with! You have a big heart to let him do it!"
"That's why I've already disciplined him on your behalf..."
"It's over. Now I have no expectations for the names you chose either."
Lin Zitong said, making a great resolve, she flipped the paper over and squinted at the names written on it.
Eldest son: Yan Nian Tong.
Youngest daughter: Lin Si Yi.
Lin Zitong was stunned. "These names..."
"Although I haven't finished primary school either, I thought of these two names after a long time. They should be better than Gou Dan and Cui Hua, right?" Yan Shouyi asked cautiously, while intently observing Lin Zitong's expression.
Lin Zitong's expression softened, and she smiled. "I think these names are very good."
"Really?"
"Really."
Children are the crystallization of parental love. The names Nian Tong and Si Yi symbolize the love between Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong. How could Lin Zitong not be satisfied with these names?
"Then it's settled. The eldest son will be Yan Nian Tong, and the younger daughter will be Lin Si Yi!"
After Lin Zitong nodded, Yan Shouyi excitedly knelt on one knee before the sofa, gently placing his hands on Lin Zitong's belly. "Nian Tong and Si Yi, you two have names now!"
Seeing Yan Shouyi's childish behavior, Lin Zitong couldn't help but smile enchantingly. If only time could freeze at this moment.
...
The next morning, Yan Shouyi left Rongcheng and headed for Xichuan.
Daqing Mountain had been completely engulfed by the miasma of death. The army was stationed on the periphery, with many members of the Xuanmen assisting.
As the miasma spread, the camps of the Xuanmen were repeatedly relocated. Now, Mount Emei, the closest to Daqing Mountain, had been covered, and even half of Rongcheng was affected.
Yan Shouyi's trip to Xichuan was to verify a conjecture he had the previous night.
He planned to capture the monsters from the miasma, use their bodies to create wooden puppet avatars, and then investigate the divine tree by Daqing Mountain.
Currently, the camps on the outskirts were mainly managed by Hou Jingchen, the commander of the Changlin Army, and Liu Yiren, the representative of Longhu Mountain. Yan Shouyi no longer needed to hide his identity. After arriving at the airport, he flew directly towards the direction of the camp, riding on his San Yuan, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
This scene, half a month ago, would have been sensational. But now, those who witnessed it were merely surprised, not shocked.
After all, in the past half a month, there had been daily events that had been refreshing the worldview of ordinary people...
However, some sharp-eyed individuals recognized Yan Shouyi's identity and then screamed, "Isn't that the one we saw in the video, the descendant of Lu Ban, Yan Shouyi?!"
Yan Shouyi had experienced the treatment of a top idol, but he didn't care, nor did he crave it.
For him, the most important things he wanted to do now were to eliminate Jiang Wuya and then wait for the safe birth of his child.
Riding on San Yuan, Yan Shouyi quickly arrived at the camp.
The people in the camp had learned of Yan Shouyi's arrival early. Some Xuanmen members or soldiers who were not busy with their tasks had been waiting at the camp gate since early morning, wanting to witness Yan Shouyi's demeanor with their own eyes.
As a result, they only learned at lunchtime that Yan Shouyi had arrived much earlier, and had flown directly into the offices of Hou Jingchen and Liu Yiren on a bird. Those who had blocked the gate were all disappointed.
"You mean, those monsters that emerged from the miasma of death?"
Hou Jingchen and Liu Yiren heard Yan Shouyi's idea and found it feasible.
As for the corpses of those monsters, they had also preserved them.
As the miasma of death expanded, groups of such monsters would occasionally emerge from the shrouded forbidden zones, attacking civilians who had not yet escaped.
Their strength was not particularly great. As long as their numbers were not large, a single squad could deal with them.
Hou Jingchen had also been cautious, sending people to collect all the monster corpses for research. Unfortunately, there had been no special findings so far, because to others, the corpses of these monsters were no different from wood, and could not even be refined into zombies.
Hou Jingchen personally led Yan Shouyi to the place where the monster corpses were stored.
The monster corpses were stored uniformly in a warehouse. The warehouse didn't even have low-temperature preservation because all the corpses were no different from wood; they would only dry out and not rot. In the end, if they needed to be disposed of, they could be burned as firewood.
"We've recently named these monsters 'Faceless Demons'," Hou Jingchen said, holding up a monster's head.
The monsters had no facial features, so the name "Faceless Demons" was very fitting.
Yan Shouyi walked up to a corpse, squeezed it with his hand, and felt it. He frowned. "They're not just like wood... they are simply wood."
"You are a descendant of Lu Ban and a true expert in wood. If you say so, then it is so," Hou Jingchen said with a smile.
"I suspect they are part of the divine tree itself," Yan Shouyi said. "But this is even better. It seems there will be no problems in creating the wooden puppet avatars."
He immediately selected a few corpses to take with him. Liu Yiren arranged a quiet room for him, and Yan Shouyi planned to refine the wooden puppet avatars on the spot.
In less than half a day, a "rough version" of a wooden puppet avatar was successfully crafted.
The final finished product was a humanoid monster with eight arms and three pairs of wings on its back!
This wooden puppet avatar looked even more terrifying than the original Faceless Demon. It was a work of Yan Shouyi's "unleashed self" – since the wooden puppet avatar was designed for combat, why not add more organs that humans don't have to enhance combat capabilities?
The miasma of death was very peculiar, and even San Yuan could not enter it. Therefore, Yan Shouyi also made three pairs of wings for the wooden puppet avatar, giving it the ability to fly, so that it wouldn't have to travel through mountains and rivers like an ordinary person when it went to Daqing Mountain, and it would take an unknown amount of time to return to the divine tree.
