"This is my personal amulet, nurtured by my Cryo element power. It should help with reducing internal heat!"
Shenhe took out a jade token from the Black Slime and handed it to Feng Yi, hoping it would help.
Feng Yi took it and played with it. The peculiar tactile sensation of the jade token made his heart stir.
Nurtured by Shenhe's Cryo element, the jade token was cool to the touch. However, having been worn by Shenhe among the slimes for a long time, it was also slightly warm due to body temperature.
This contradictory and wonderful feeling made Feng Yi reluctant to part with it.
"I'm fine! I just need to rest for a bit. I should return this jade token to you!"
Feng Yi thought about it and decided it was better to return it. After all, his nosebleed wasn't due to actual internal heat.
"I can nurture another one. It's no trouble!"
Shenhe smiled and shook her head. It wasn't a rare item; she could carve another one anytime.
"Alright, I'll accept this jade token. But I won't take your gift for nothing. I'll give you a gift tomorrow!"
This jade token was indeed good, and it could have a slight calming effect. Since Shenhe insisted, he would shamelessly accept it.
Feng Yi tore off two rabbit legs from the roasted rabbit and offered them to Shenhe and Yuan Bao, while he finished the rest.
After eating, Feng Yi left Yuan Bao and Shenhe to play in the Serenitea Pot.
He then yawned, left the Serenitea Pot, and returned to his room.
Looking at the bulging quilt, Feng Yi's eyelids twitched. He didn't need to guess to know that Hu Tao was hiding inside.
He had clearly coaxed Hu Tao to sleep before he left!
He slightly lifted the quilt and saw two big, blinking eyes staring at him.
"Feng Yi, where did you go? Why are you just coming back?"
Hu Tao giggled, her plum blossom eyes curving into crescent moons. She had come to "night raid" Feng Yi in the middle of the night, only to find him missing. She was very curious about how he had managed it.
"It's almost dawn, hurry up and get some rest!"
Feng Yi rubbed Hu Tao's little head, tidied her reddish-brown hair, then took off his shoes, climbed into bed, and lay down in the spot Hu Tao had vacated.
Hu Tao had been in the quilt for a while, and Feng Yi felt that the quilt was warm and cozy. Excellent!
Hu Tao was already a qualified little bed warmer!
Seeing that Feng Yi was very sleepy, Hu Tao didn't act spoiled. She hugged Feng Yi's arm and began to sleep.
In the early morning, the sun rose high, and warm sunlight spilled onto the bed.
"Feng Yi, good morning!"
Hu Tao rubbed her sleepy eyes and lazily greeted Feng Yi.
Suddenly, Hu Tao felt something extra in the quilt, and her sleepiness vanished instantly.
That soft touch was definitely not Feng Yi's body.
Hu Tao lifted the quilt and saw a cute little girl.
Hu Tao was a bit stunned. Everything had been fine last night, but after a night's sleep, a child had appeared between her and Feng Yi.
She suddenly remembered that the servants of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had mentioned in casual conversation that men and women sleeping together would have children.
Was this little girl the child she and Feng Yi had?
Hu Tao found it hard to believe, but the facts were before her, and she couldn't refute them.
Was having a child this easy?
She hadn't felt anything at all!
At this moment, as Hu Tao lifted the quilt, Yuan Bao felt a coolness on her body and opened her eyes.
"Is Daddy still not awake? What a lazy pig!"
Yuan Bao looked at Feng Yi sleeping on her left and the already awake Hu Tao on her right, and then pinched Feng Yi's nose.
"Daddy?"
Hu Tao heard the little girl's address to Feng Yi and was even more convinced that the little girl was her and Feng Yi's child.
Hu Tao picked up Yuan Bao and kissed her rosy cheeks.
"Sister, who are you? Have we met somewhere before? Yuan Bao feels you're very familiar!"
Yuan Bao wiped the saliva from her face and looked at the lively and cute older sister in front of her, feeling a sense of familiarity.
It seemed like she had seen her somewhere before, but Yuan Bao couldn't recall.
The reason for this feeling of familiarity was that she was born from the cooperation of Hu Tao and Feng Yi.
That's why Yuan Bao had a special feeling for Hu Tao.
"You're called Yuan Bao? What a cute name! I'm Hu Tao, the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! Since you're my child with Feng Yi, you'll be the 78th Director!"
Hu Tao lifted Yuan Bao high and said excitedly.
"Mama? Do you also want to be Yuan Bao's mama?"
Yuan Bao's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected this beautiful and cute sister to want to be her mama too.
Yuan Bao was very happy. This way, she would have two mamas!
Yuan Bao wanted to find many mamas to live with Daddy!
"Also?! What do you mean?"
Hu Tao's brow furrowed. She was sensitive to Yuan Bao's "also." Had Feng Yi found other women behind her back?
"The child is talking nonsense, don't mind her!"
Feng Yi, who had just woken up, broke out in a cold sweat upon encountering such a critical situation and quickly interjected.
Fortunately, he woke up in time. If he had been any later, who knows what would have happened.
"Yuan Bao, this child is..."
Feng Yi briefly explained that Yuan Bao was the golden giant egg, so that she wouldn't overthink.
"So that's how it is! Not our child!"
Hu Tao's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She had thought Yuan Bao was the crystallization of her love with Feng Yi. She had already prepared to teach Yuan Bao the business knowledge of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so that Yuan Bao could inherit the position of the next Director in the future!
"What are you thinking?! Having a child isn't that easy! You're not even pregnant!"
Feng Yi chuckled helplessly and flicked her forehead.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Hu Tao clutched her head, looking at Feng Yi pitifully, while her mind was constantly pondering what Feng Yi meant by "pregnant" and how she could get pregnant.
Hu Tao couldn't figure it out, so she gave up and decided to look through the materials left by her grandfather later.
"However, in a sense, you can indeed consider Yuan Bao as our child!"
Feng Yi thought of the golden giant egg, which was born from the cooperation of him and Hu Tao when they dropped a normal giant egg.
In a way, he and Hu Tao could indeed be considered the surrogate parents of the golden giant egg.
"Daddy, don't bully Mama Hu Tao!"
Yuan Bao spread her arms to block Feng Yi, expressing her displeasure at him bullying Hu Tao.
"Yuan Bao, you're so good! Let Mama give you a kiss!"
Hu Tao looked at the little one protecting her and let out a chuckle. She was touched by Yuan Bao's actions.
Since Feng Yi had said so, and Yuan Bao was such an interesting little fellow, she would be Yuan Bao's mama then!
However, the position of the next Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor still had to be reserved for their own flesh and blood. On this point, Hu Tao had her principles.
After some playful banter, Feng Yi, along with a washed Hu Tao and Yuan Bao, went to the teahouse for breakfast as usual.
