Chapter 188 Want a Child?
"Uncle Xiao An, you've been gone for so long this time! Did you bring us any delicious treats?"
A little girl with pigtails blinked her big, watery eyes and asked the question first, followed by the other children.
"Uncle An, what fun things did you encounter on your trip this time?"
"Uncle Xiao An, did you bring us any gifts?"
···········
Seeing this, Shi An immediately took out several shimmering spiritual fruits from his pocket and distributed them to the little ones surrounding him, saying with a smile, "Of course, these are little gifts for you, they can help you with your cultivation."
The children received the spirit fruit and jumped up excitedly. In an instant, the entire Stone Village was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Just then, Shi Yunfeng also came out of the village. Seeing Shi An return safely, a relieved smile appeared on his face. "Xiao An, you're back. You must have had a long journey."
Upon seeing Shi Yunfeng appear, Shi An immediately smiled and replied, "Grandpa Clan Chief, I'm back."
Shi Yunfeng nodded, his eyes full of admiration. He knew that Shi An had always been a responsible and capable young man. Then, he stepped aside, revealing a figure.
The woman, dressed in a purple dress, exuded a gentle and serene aura, like a fairy descending to earth. She was none other than Shi An's wife, Yun Xi!
She stood there, smiling, her gaze gentle as she looked at Shi An as he returned, as if the whole world had brightened because of her smile.
"You're back."
Yunxi spoke softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, soothing and pleasant. She carried a basket filled with freshly picked herbs, clearly having just returned from the mountains.
Seeing this, Shi An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He quickly went to her side, held her hand tightly, and said softly, "You're back."
The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.
Seeing this, the others wisely refrained from disturbing the young couple's reunion and went about their own business.
Afterwards, Shi An and Yun Xi returned to their cottage in Shi Village.
Although the house was simple, it was filled with the warmth of home. Shi An told her about his experiences along the way, as well as his encounter with Shi Hao's family.
"Is that kid really that strong?!"
Yunxi was quite surprised to hear that Shi Hao had overturned the Immortal Mountain all by himself.
The mischievous child who caused trouble in the Realm of the Void Gods back then has now grown into such a figure, not only becoming the emperor of a nation but also overthrowing an ancient sect. This is truly...
Thinking it over, Yunxi shook her head and then stopped paying attention to Shi Hao. After all, he was just her brother-in-law, and a little concern was enough. The most important person was the one in front of her.
Thinking of this, Yunxi unconsciously reached out and gently stroked Shi An's face, her eyes full of worry: "You keep talking about Shi Hao, why don't you think about yourself too much?"
Feeling the warmth on his cheek, Shi An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently took Yun Xi's hand, removed it from his face, and softly stroked it, saying, "I'm perfectly fine!"
"Moreover, I gained a lot from this trip, and my strength has improved considerably."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said gently, "I know all this, but your sudden departure without informing me has made me very worried."
"Even though I know you are very strong, and even a Venerable One can't do anything to you, there are not only Venerable Ones outside, but also gods. What am I supposed to do if you encounter a god?"
Seeing the worry in Yunxi's eyes, Shi An's heart trembled slightly. He then gently pulled her into his arms and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Besides, you're here with me now, how could I easily let anything happen to me?"
After embracing for a moment, Yunxi's emotions finally calmed down. Then she slowly raised her head, looked at Shi An, and asked, "By the way, how long do you plan to stay in the village this time?"
After a moment's thought, Shi An replied, "I want to stay a few more days to spend more time with you and see how the clansmen are doing in their cultivation. Also, Shi Hao said he would come to Stone Village to visit once they've settled down, and I want to wait for them too."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing that Shi An would be staying for quite some time, a blissful expression appeared on Yun Xi's face. Then, her body went limp, and she gently leaned against Shi An.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Yunxi woke up from her long-awaited happiness, she found that her husband had gotten up early and was sitting cross-legged under the sacred willow tree at the entrance of the village, cultivating in peace.
"Willow God, this is the great opportunity I obtained from the Chaos Ancient Palace in the Primordial Treasure Realm. It should also be of help to you."
Under the willow tree, Shi An had just told the Willow God about what had happened in the Primordial Treasure Realm, including the hundred words left by the Heavenly Emperor.
"This book is indeed profound. Although it contains only a hundred words, it has been of great help to me."
As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Liu Shen's voice rang out, and judging from the meaning of her words, she was clearly very interested in the hundred words provided by Shi An and had gained a lot of insights from them.
Having received Liu Shen's affirmation, Shi An, though somewhat expecting it, was still pleased and chuckled softly, "It's good that I can help you!"
The Willow God gently swayed its branches, making a rustling sound, as if responding to Shi An: "The path of cultivation is endless. You have this opportunity, so you should seize it. However, with your current level, you are still not enough to master these hundred words. Do not become obsessed with them."
Knowing his own limitations, Shi An didn't believe he could comprehend the latter part of the original true explanation of what seemed to be a quasi-immortal emperor's technique, given his current level of cultivation. Therefore, he nodded earnestly and replied, "This disciple will remember!"
Just then, Yunxi walked over gracefully, carrying a steaming bowl of spiritual tea in her hands, her face beaming with a gentle smile.
"Willow Goddess, this is some spiritual tea I just brewed. Please try it."
Yunxi spoke softly, handing the spirit tea to Shi An, indicating that he should offer it to the Willow Goddess.
Shi An took the spiritual tea and carefully poured it into the soil at the base of the willow tree. As soon as the spiritual tea touched the ground, it turned into wisps of green smoke, which were quietly absorbed by the willow tree.
"That's very thoughtful."
The voice of the Willow Goddess resonated in their hearts, carrying a hint of approval.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's face lit up with joy. It was a rare honor for her to have such an interaction with Liu Shen.
Afterwards, Shi An and Yun Xi sat side by side under the willow tree, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. They chatted about village matters and future plans, occasionally mentioning Shi Hao's remarkable achievements. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
"Uncle, I think we should consider having a child?"
Suddenly, Yunxi seemed to remember something and spoke softly, a blush spreading across her face.
Upon hearing this, Shi An was taken aback at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't act impulsively, but instead looked at Yun Xi with some doubt and asked, "Why would you have this idea?"
However, when asked by Shi An, Yun Xi turned her gaze to the group of little ones playing and frolicking by the lake: "Watching them make a fuss in front of me every day, I am also somewhat touched."
After speaking, Yunxi paused, then turned her head slightly to look at Shi Linhu and his wife, who were dealing with something on the other side: "And this is also my father and mother's wish. They both hope to hold their grandson as soon as possible."
