The baby-making system is unreliable

Walking by the stream, I reflected my reflection, the sky was at the bottom of the clear stream.[1] The gurgling water flowed over the bamboo eaves, the water's hazy light shone on the windowsill.

This time, Sun'er's birth was somewhat thrilling. Yun Xirou's vitality was slightly damaged, and she rested in bed for three days before she was able to get out of bed.

After all, Sun'er is still young and needs his parents' spiritual energy to feed him. Wang Chen seems to like feeding him very much and has fallen in love with this "job" of raising Sun'er. In the past few days, he has always used his spiritual energy to feed him well.

Not only that, although this person didn't say anything, he liked Sun'er very much and insisted on sleeping with Sun'er in his arms.

"Shun'er's habits are like bamboo. I'll take him out to bask in the sun and drink some water." Wang Chen almost always said these words. He would take her out for a walk and bask in the sun whenever he had nothing to do.

Yun Xirou chuckled and thought, if that's the case then just let him go. Anyway, she could take the opportunity to go out and bask in the sun without having to restrain herself.

At this time, the little bamboo shoots had already emerged next to the green bamboo and gradually grew into shape. Xiao Qian was very curious about this and often stared at the bamboo shoots excitedly.

Sun'er seemed frightened because he had never seen a bird before and was worried that he would be eaten by a bird. Every time he saw Xiao Qian, he would feel scared, but over time, this fear gradually eased and the situation gradually improved.

During this period, Wang Chen disliked the small spring outside the bamboo house because it was not running water. He thought it was not nourishing enough, so he got up early every day and went to Half Moon Lake to fetch some running water to water his two precious bamboos.

At first, Yun Xirou was kept in the dark and was watered for several days. Her body was damp and she had to go to the toilet frequently. It was extremely unbearable and she didn't know the reason.

She also didn't understand why whenever Wang Chen picked up Sun'er, he would be peed all over. When she asked, she found out that it was his fault, as he actually poured water on them every day!

Yun Xirou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She liked moisture and running water, but she didn't need to water her plants every day, or else the roots would rot.

"Ah Chen, are you doing this on purpose? The bamboo shoots have just grown into bamboos, and the roots are still tender. If you continue to water them like this, their roots will rot."

Suner listened to the loud crying and peed on Wangchen's arm in revenge, biting his fingers, but she had not yet grown teeth, so she ended up tiring herself out.

A month passed in the outside world, and Sun'er's twisted little red face grew up, his skin became white and tender, his hands and feet became chubby, and he slept in the cradle like a porcelain doll. Only when he cried would his little nose wrinkle in grievance.

I don't know how many years have passed in the painting. Sun'er seems to like the spiritual energy in the painting very much. If he stays here, does he have his father's spiritual energy all over his body? !

But Sun'er was still very young and could not control his spiritual power very well. Every time Wang Chen changed his diaper, he would shake out a few small bamboo leaves. He thought it was very interesting and was very happy. He collected them all together and kept them in a small box.

As if he was interested in this, Wang Chen asked Yun Xirou if she could turn into a bamboo leaf. Yun Xirou smiled and slowly spread out her five fingers.

A few green leaves lay in the palm of her hand, slender and transparent, fresh and spiritual, just like her breath.

Wang Chen put them into his palm and watched with interest: "Why haven't I seen you drop leaves before?"

"It has fallen off before." Yun Xirou smiled faintly and said embarrassedly: "Sometimes I can't control it... and a few petals will fall off, but I don't dare to show it to you."

Wang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "When?"

Yun Yirou blushed, trying to avoid his gaze, lowering her head and refusing to answer. This was not a glorious thing, she...she didn't want to mention it.

The bamboo house was filled with gifts, one pile higher than the other like a mountain, all of which were sent by Xiao Qian.

"Hmm!? I've never seen bamboo shoots grown in nature before, but this time I've really broadened my horizons!"

Xiao Qian looked at Sun'er who was still on the small bamboo chair. He had been lying beside him for a whole day, and he didn't know what he was looking at! ? He seemed to like him very much. Seeing that Sun'er was surrounded by spiritual energy, he took out a golden bead from his body and stuffed it into Sun'er's hand as a gift.

Sun'er was babbling, holding the beads tightly in his hands. Wang Chen was afraid that he would hurt himself, so he wanted to take them off, but Sun'er just kept crying and wouldn't stop no matter how he tried to comfort him.

"This child just won't put it down once he gets it." Yun Xirou looked at him and shook her head, teasing Sun'er's little hand. They had no choice but to let him hold it.

Yun Xirou's heart moved. After thanking Xiao Qian, she strung the beads together with a red thread and hung them around Sun'er's neck.

"Let him be. Who knows when this little guy will grow up?!" Wang Chen looked at the sleeping child in his arms with a helpless smile on his face.

"Please don't rush me. I'm really afraid that he will grow up suddenly and scare me!"

Yun Xirou was startled and glanced at him. She didn't want to open her eyes one day and find her little bamboo shoot had grown three feet tall again. How scary! !

Thinking about how he suddenly grew three feet taller before, she still felt a little scared.

"That's hard to say. If the same thing happened last time, at least you won't be hurt."

Wang Chen smiled and gently stroked the child's cheek, feeling the soft skin and warm body temperature.

With some guesses in his mind, Wang Chen vaguely felt that this child seemed to be growing faster than ordinary people.

Xiao Qian was amazed and curious. He bit his claws and thought, "However, how should bamboo shoots grow?!"

Yun Xirou nodded, not knowing what would happen, and only said, "I hope so! This is my first time raising him, so I don't know these things."

"By the way, how is Bai Yong doing now? Is his injury better?!"

Yun Xirou suddenly remembered and asked casually, her eyes remaining on the child.

"He's still the same...no progress. But I heard that Danpizi seems to be studying some weird formations recently. I don't know what he's doing?"

Xiao Qian looked at the Half Moon Lake in front of him. It seemed that there had been no red-crowned cranes for a long time. He was the only one there!

Without him, Half Moon Lake was empty. He hadn't come out of the bird cave to bask in the sun for a long time.

"He said he wanted to go to the ghost world! The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is almost here, and he hasn't made any moves. When I asked Grandpa Turtle this morning, he was still hiding in his cave."

Xiao Qian was a little confused about what he meant. He only knew that he seemed to have taken some parchment scroll and seemed to be studying some formation.

"He said he didn't want to go! He prepared the Ghost Yin Stone so early, it's really strange."

Xiao Qian felt a little creepy as he said this. The eve of the Ghost Festival on July 15 this year seemed too peaceful, and not a single ghost had been seen.

They are all acting so strangely. Something happened in the fox cave as well. There are fewer and fewer bird monsters around, and most of them stay indoors.

"I didn't notice anything else, but... I always feel that there are fewer people with psychic abilities, like Feifei from Linxi, Xiaole and Xiaoyu from Lindong..."

Many names of monsters came out at once. Xiao Qian thought about it and realized that he hadn't heard any news about them recently.

"Then...how about this, we go to their lair and investigate carefully?!"

So many monsters disappeared, it was such a strange thing that it was inevitable for people to think too much, and Yun Xirou felt a little uneasy.

"With so many places, it may not be easy to find them all. It will definitely take some effort."

Wang Chen held Sun'er in his arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows. He didn't really want to meddle in other people's business. Sun'er was only a month old, and he couldn't bear to let Yun Xirou worry about those things.

"To be honest, I always feel that the Half Moon Lake has been so calm recently that it's a little scary. Xiao Qian, please pay more attention to this area." Yun Xirou said softly, with a hint of worry and concern on her face.

Xiao Qian listened and nodded, his clear eyes flashing with determination, and replied: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

"To be honest, I also feel that everyone has been acting strangely lately, but there are no obvious signs of danger. I will pay close attention to the movements around me, and if I find anything unusual, I will be the first to tell you."

Yun Xirou nodded slightly. She knew that although Xiao Qian was young, she was quite smart.

"That's true. Everyone has been acting weird lately, and it feels like the whole world has become unfamiliar. I wonder if it's because the tranquility of Half Moon Lake makes everyone feel uneasy?" Yun Xirou said thoughtfully.

"The gates of hell open on July 15th, which is the day after tomorrow." Wang Chen frowned and said in a serious tone, "We will know the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid there will be trouble at night."

He seemed to have some sense of it. According to custom, the passage between the Yin and Yang worlds would open on this day, and ghosts could travel freely between the human world and the underworld.

But this time, I always feel that the ghost energy in the Red Moon Realm seems to be heavier.

Yun Yurou frowned, thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must remain vigilant and not let our guard down. We never know when something bad might happen."

After she finished speaking, Yun Xirou just sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She knew very well that this world was full of unknowns and variables.

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly noticed the movement of the world in the painting, and his cold thin lips moved slightly.

"Xiao Zhu, let me tell you something. I think... you will be happy if you know it."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The cat with wings is awake!!"

Yun Yurou looked at his expression and asked in a daze, "Li Li? Wake up?! That's great!!"

Xiao Qian: "Li Li?! How come I didn't know you knew other cat demons... Am I redundant?"

"I'll introduce it to you later. We'll talk in detail later, hahahaha!"

Yun Xirou smiled awkwardly. She had forgotten to mention Li Li to Xiao Qian. To be honest, she didn't know what happened to Li Li. Maybe her spiritual energy was exhausted.

……

In the world of the painting, an ink-blended atmosphere began to spread in the originally calm air, enveloping the surrounding scenery.

Yun Xirou came to the market again, but there were no living creatures here. It seemed that this was the market created by Wang Chen.

It should be composed of mana, so there is no vitality of living people. It is equivalent to its own small world. Isn't this similar to space magic! ?

What’s different this time is that there seem to be a lot more wooden men, with different appearances and shapes.

Yun Xirou looked around and it seemed to be just an ordinary human being.

"Achen, I've never asked you, this market... was drawn by you, right? Why did you create such a market?!"

"Eh?" Wang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he said without thinking: "Of course I'm bored, otherwise what other reason can I have!?"

"You... were born in a painting. That sounds amazing. So... you don't have any friends?!"

Yun Xirou had some vague guesses in her mind. She heard Li Li say that he was born in some remote place, but he seemed to have read quite a few books. There were mostly bookstores, art shops, and study supplies in the market.

She seemed to be very knowledgeable about the life of intellectuals, and didn't seem like she was completely ignorant of the world. I was quite wary of her at the beginning.

All these made Yun Xirou feel that he should have had contact with humans and had a deep bond with a certain literati.

Why were his things lost outside? There must be a story behind it. Moreover, Wang Chen chose to find the Cold Jade Pearl and was not in a hurry to find other things. It seemed that as long as he could transform into a physical form and be outside, it would be enough.

For so many years, he seemed to be avoiding something. Fortunately, Yun Xirou had the body of a green bamboo and could endure the loneliness.

Otherwise, if it were someone with an impatient personality, Yun Xirou would feel like she would be dying of anxiety!!

"Ahem... I'm just curious, just curious. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. After all, no one wants to talk about it unless it's something happy."

When Yun Xirou saw his eyes change, she knew she had said the wrong thing. She coughed a few times in a hurry and looked away while holding Sun'er.

Just when she thought that Wang Chen would definitely not say anything more, his voice came indifferently: "If you want to hear it, then I will tell you."

Yun Xirou was slightly startled, and looked at him with some surprise. Wang Chen's expression was as calm as water, without any emotional fluctuations, but deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of sadness and helplessness.

She couldn't help but feel curious. What on earth had happened to make this usually calm man lose his composure like this?

However, at this moment, Wang Chen suddenly closed his eyes and stopped talking. Yun Yurou looked at him, and an inexplicable sense of loss surged in her heart.

She realized that perhaps he didn't want to talk about the past anymore, and her curiosity just now might have touched the pain deep in his heart.

So, she silently hugged Sun'er tighter and said softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sun'er in Yun Xirou's arms, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

He sighed softly and said, "There's nothing that can't be said, but some things should be left in the past."

After saying that, he stopped, walked to a painting stall, looked at the wooden figure that looked like a clay sculpture, and fell into deep thought.

I thought I could forget it, but I really couldn't understand why he did it? Why did he want to destroy the entire realm of origin?

"The place where I transformed is actually called the Land of Origin. That place was originally full of spiritual energy, but now... it has fallen into the ghost world!"

As Wang Chen spoke, he seemed to be lost in memories and couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
