Mermaid babies are mammals. Unlike the previous batches of offspring, they do not need to go through the process of hatching or flowering. They can practice directly after birth.

Just to consolidate their foundation, they still need to spend more than half a year in the development period of the spiritual breeding ground [Cheying Huanhai] before they can take the "Transformation Pill" to transform into humans, leave the secret realm, and go to the wilderness to train and grow.

Therefore, no matter how eager Li Wanji is to become stronger, she will strictly follow the instructions in the "Tian Lingling Secret Record of Child-rearing" formulated by the system to raise her children, and will not be impatient for success or force things to grow.

But things like the "Quick Growth Pill" are top-grade elixirs specially made by the system master Tiandao, which can speed up the growth of children in the womb, shorten their growth cycle, and at the same time ensure that their qualifications are not affected.

That's why Li Wanji felt at ease taking it.

Facts have proved that the effect of the "Quick Growth Pill" is indeed significant. The five mermaid babies were born safely after only ten days of development in her belly, and each of them has extraordinary qualifications and talents.

In order to better take care of the children's growth, Li Wanji still spent 1 low-grade spirit stones to hire a junior puppet spirit trainer for them.

After the system's precise matching, a woman driving a chariot made of silk and holding a delicate staff came out from the light curtain and bowed: "Meet the master, meet the young masters."

"I am Tianlai, the Wind and Thunder Spirit Cultivator. From today on, I will be responsible for taking care of the daily lives and cultivation of all the young masters. Please rest assured, Master."

Tianlai's voice was clear and gentle, his tone was respectful, and there was an elegance in his every move. He was obviously a very cultured spiritual educator.

Li Wanji nodded with satisfaction and had a very good first impression of Tianlai.

She smiled gently and said, "Tianlai, I'll trouble you to take care of these five children from now on. They are still young and their cultivation is still incomplete. If there is anything wrong, please give them more guidance."

Tianlai nodded slightly and said softly, "Master, you are too kind. It is Tianlai's responsibility to take care of the young masters."

After saying that, she gently waved the exquisite magic wand in her hand, and the surrounding jellyfish suddenly became more active, swimming happily around the five little mermaids, as if offering them the purest blessings.

Seeing this, the five little mermaids also splashed water excitedly and started playing with the jellyfishes.

Although they were just born, they can already sense the emotions of the creatures around them, and they can naturally feel the kindness of Tianlai.

"By the way, Tianlai, if the children's father comes to look after them in the future, you should step away first." Li Wanji suddenly remembered something and instructed Tianlai.

"Yes, Tianlai understands." Tianlai responded respectfully. Although she was confused, her good professional ethics prevented her from asking more questions.

The purpose of Li Wanji doing this was nothing more than to use the children to tie up Canglanzi first, so that he would not always pester her to practice dual cultivation with her.

Although Canglanzi was indeed extremely handsome, with a noble and cold temperament, which was in line with her usual aesthetic, dual cultivation was not like buying vegetables in the market where you could just pick and choose.

What's more important is that she also has system tasks to complete. With such a clingy person around her, she really can't cope with everything.

Therefore, I can only use the children as a "shield" temporarily.

The children are so cute that even she herself can't help but want to spend more time with them, let alone Canglanzi who is a new father?

Li Wanji's plan was to let Tianlai avoid the situation. She wanted Canglanzi to think that the children were left unattended, so that she would take the initiative to assume the responsibility of "wet father". This would also allow Canglanzi to temporarily reduce his entanglement with her.

After all, Li Wanji is going to find another man to merge her blood and have a child, so it’s better not to let Canglanzi know about this.

Otherwise, with his crazy and overbearing personality, he would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Li Wanji once confessed to him that he would not be her only Taoist partner, and he expressed his understanding and acceptance at the time, but Li Wanji knew very well that this did not mean that he would really have no grudges.

Men, especially men like Canglanzi who are strong in all aspects, often have very strong self-esteem and possessiveness.

Although she was not afraid of any challenge, there was no need for her to deliberately provoke him and cause herself trouble.

Therefore, in order to avoid future embarrassment and conflicts, she chose to make arrangements in advance so that everything was under her control.

After explaining everything, Li Wanji escaped from the [Clear Shadow Fantasy Sea]. Before leaving, she asked Tianlai to hide the light curtain that tracked the children's training status.

After all, it's a troublesome thing!

If people in the secret space are attentive, they can observe the situation outside through the light curtain. This is both a guarantee and a potential risk.

Li Wanji didn't want her "glorious deeds" of flirting with other handsome men to be seen by a jealous and crazy man.

It was already midnight when Li Wanji returned to the delivery room. She pushed open the door and saw Canglanzi standing outside with a haggard look on his face.

The drizzle wet his long dark blue curly hair, and strands of it stuck to his cheeks, adding a bit of desolate beauty to his appearance.

He could not hide his worry and anxiety in his eyes, but when he saw Li Wanji, his blue eyes lit up instantly.

"Wan Ji, are you okay?"

Canglanzi came forward eagerly, his eyes full of concern. His voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the beauty in front of him.

Only then did Li Wanji realize that she had actually stayed in the [Cheying Fantasy Sea] for six or seven hours, from the afternoon until late at night. No wonder Canglanzi was so worried.

She felt a little guilty and said softly, "I'm fine, just a little tired. Why are you staying here all the time? It's raining so hard outside, why don't you find a place to take shelter?"

Canglanzi shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Wanji, as long as you are okay. Don't worry about me. I am a mermaid, and this little rain is nothing to me."

He stretched out his hand to touch Li Wanji, but was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after giving birth. His hand paused in mid-air, and finally he just clenched his fist lightly.

Li Wanji noticed his nervousness and caution, and felt warm in her heart. She took his hand and whispered, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Canglanzi let Li Wanji pull him into the room, and the warm breath instantly dispelled the coldness from his body.

Li Wanji took a clean cloak and put it on Canglanzi's shoulders, saying softly: "Your clothes are wet, put this on quickly to avoid catching a cold."

Canglanzi was not afraid of wind and rain, but he enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Li Wanji, so he obediently put on the cloak she handed him.

After confirming that Li Wanji was in good health, Canglanzi looked around the interior of the house, and his gaze finally fell on the empty "Shui Meng Wen Chao".

Seeing him looking for the children all over the house, Li Wanji laughed in her heart, but she only said softly: "Ah Heng, come with me, I will take you to see the children."

As she spoke, she took Canglanzi's hand, opened the entrance to the [Clear Shadow Fantasy Sea], and entered it.
