Chapter 312 - Departure (1)

“Old Patriarch, Ruoxue, you’re here.” Li Yuan, who was pacing around anxiously outside the room, greeted everyone when he saw them before he began circling the house again.

“Stinky brat, how is the situation?” Old Man asked anxiously.

“She’s giving birth,” Li Yuan said with a pale face. At this moment, Mo Yingyue’s painful howl came from the room, causing Li Yuan’s heart to wrench again! He paced faster…

“You stinky brat, are you done circling? My head is dizzy because of you,” The distraught Old Man roared at the top of his lungs.

“Old Patriarch, I…” Li Yuan looked at the furious old patriarch aggrievedly and stopped obediently. Boohoo… He was nervous. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, Yingyue was about to give birth. This was too sudden for him. He wasn’t prepared at all!

“You what you! Go outside to the yard,” Old Man shouted with widened eyes.

“Yes, Old Patriarch.” Li Yuan looked pitiful as he walked to the yard.

Leng Ruoxue looked at Li Yuan sympathetically and asked in disapproval, “Old Man, why are you being so fierce to him!”

“He’s useless here. He’ll only add to the chaos,” Old Man said angrily.

“Wah-wah!” A baby’s cry sounded from the room just as Old Man finished speaking.

“Born!” Li Yuan yelled happily and jumped in directly from the yard.

“Old Patriarch, Young Master, Young Madam gave birth to twins.” A maidservant walked out of the room and bowed to report.

“Boys or girls?” Li Yuan asked anxiously.

“They are two young masters,” the maidservant said happily.

“Why are they both boys?” Li Yuan murmured, his handsome face full of dissatisfaction.

“What’s wrong with boys? Stinky brat, quickly go in and see your wife.” Old Man raised his leg and kicked Li Yuan’s butt fiercely, directly kicking him into the room.

“Haha!” Everyone laughed when they saw Li Yuan in such a sorry state.

“Grandpa, let’s go back first. Don’t get in their way,” Leng Ruoxue said to Leng Qingtian and the others. Mo Yingyue and her husband must have a lot to talk about.

“Okay, let’s go back and see the babies tomorrow,” Leng Qingtian said tactfully.

After leaving Mo Yingyue’s residence, Leng Ruoxue and the others didn’t leave the bracelet but returned to their bamboo houses.

After entering the purple bamboo house, Leng Ruoxue went to the refining room with Freak. She planned to refine a small gift for the two babies.

“Xue’er, what do you want to refine?” Freak asked curiously when he saw Leng Ruoxue preparing to refine artifacts.

“I want to refine a pair of longevity locks,” Leng Ruoxue said. People in this world traditionally gave longevity locks to newborn babies, so she had to follow the customs.

“What should I give them then?” Freak frowned in slight distress. He didn’t know how to refine artifacts or concoct pills. Alas! What should I give them?

“You don’t have to worry. Won’t my gift count as yours too!” Leng Ruoxue said in realization. Damn Freak, he was waiting for me to say this!

“Hehe, what Xue’er says makes sense.” Freak’s incomparably handsome face was full of pride.

Leng Ruoxue lit the furnace fire and threw the materials into the furnace one by one. After the materials melted into liquid, she began to remove the impurities and purify them. Then she controlled the liquid to mold it according to what she imagined in her mind and finally tempered and finalized it…

After she completed this set of procedures, two small and cute golden locks lay quietly in her white palm.

“So cute. Aren’t they a little small though?” Freak picked up a longevity lock that wasn’t even as big as his fingernail.

“They will become normal size after acknowledging their masters,” Leng Ruoxue explained.

“Defensive sacred artifacts?” Freak said in realization.

“Yes.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.

“Freak, I’ve decided to enter seclusion after visiting the babies tomorrow. What about you?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“I will accompany you in your seclusion!” Freak said matter-of-factly.

“Uh!” Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead. What does Freak mean? Is he going to enter seclusion with me?

“Xue’er, I promise I won’t disturb you,” Freak promised very seriously. He just didn’t want to be too far away from her! Boohoo… I’ll go crazy if I don’t see Xue’er for too long.

“Alright! We’ll enter seclusion tomorrow,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.

The next day, Leng Ruoxue and Freak went to see the babies, informed Leng Qingtian and the others, and then officially entered seclusion.

After Leng Ruoxue went into seclusion, Leng Qingtian and the others also began to enter seclusion one after another.

…

Three months later, in the Heaven and Earth Bracelet…

“Eh, Brat Lin, you’re out of seclusion?” Old Man, who was sitting on a stone bench, asked when he saw Lin Liang emerge from his bamboo house in high spirits.

“Yes, where are the others? Haven’t they come out yet?” Lin Liang asked curiously when he saw that only Old Man was here.

“No, you’re the first to come out,” Old Man explained. Except for him and Old Zao, everyone else chose to enter seclusion.

“Where’s Old Zao? He didn’t enter seclusion either. Why are you alone?” Lin Liang asked in puzzlement.

“He went to the Dragon clan,” Old Man said lightly. When Little Girl and the others weren’t around, the old thing had begun to show off everywhere. After a while, he had urged his dragon to bring him to the Dragon clan to play. He had gone for more than a month.

“Wasn’t he going to refine artifacts? Why did he go to the Dragon clan? The dragons don’t really welcome humans. Isn’t he afraid that he won’t be able to return?” Lin Liang said speechlessly. Why is Old Zao so worrisome?

“It’s better if he doesn’t come back!” Old Man gloated. At the thought that Old Zao might not come back, his old face was about to bloom with laughter.

“Old Zao is back.” Qing Jue’s words dampened Old Man’s beautiful dreams just as he was gloating happily.

“Little baby, are you sure?” Old Man asked gloomily.
