The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

As the ancients said: "If friends come from afar... even if they are far away, they shall be punished!"

As Lorenwei was lost in thought, the great sage Jansen got out of bed again, circled around, and slipped away to the other side of the bed.

"Honey, let's study the elves..."

"Waaaah—waaaah—" Lorenwei cried again.

"Go and comfort the baby!" Aisser chuckled and kicked Jason down again.

Jensen felt a thousand times more sorrowful...

Time flies, and Lorenwei is nine months old.

"Hey, Jason! The baby can call me 'Mama' now!" Aisser pounded on the door of the cubicle.

"Really?" The great sage Jason stopped preparing the potion with surprise and excitedly looked at his wife who was holding the baby.

The family's livelihood primarily depended on Jason's self-employment. Since Jason and Aisser lived in seclusion, they were naturally unsuitable for official positions or to become adventurers. Ordinary professions also didn't suit them, so selling homemade potions was the simplest and easiest career choice.

“Come on, baby, say something,” Aisser encouraged, guiding the baby: “Mama…”

“ma---ma---” Lorenwei’s little mouth opened and closed, and she made a childish sound.

"Wow! It really is!" Jason exclaimed. "Our baby is so smart! I read in the book that most babies can't start talking until they're one year old. Although she can make sounds at nine months, the fact that she can consciously call 'Mama' shows how incredibly smart she is!"

Aisser laughed, "How could the baby of a legendary hero's team from the continent not be smart?"

"Hmph, you get so excited just from calling someone 'Mom'?" Lorenvi thought dismissively. "What if I said something and you all went crazy laughing?"

Of course, her current organ development is insufficient to support her in producing more sounds; she can only make sounds like a, ma, ba, o, etc.

Jason excitedly took Lorenwei's hand, his eyes shining as he guided her, "Call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

But no matter how many times he called out to the baby, the baby just stared at him with his adorable big eyes and didn't react at all.

Lorenvi's eyelashes are like her mother's, long and curly, which, combined with her big, round eyes, make her eyes sparkle and she is very endearing.

Aisser smiled and said, "You need to be patient, and don't tire the child out."

Jason sat carefully on the edge of the bed, holding the baby and teaching him expectantly, "Say 'Daddy,' say 'Daddy.'"

“…” Lorenwei continued to ignore her.

"Call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

"..."

"Call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

"So annoying." Lorenwei rolled her eyes, then closed them and ignored her.

"Call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

"..."

"Call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

Lorenwei's heart skipped a beat, and she awkwardly tried to pronounce: "jiao---jiao---"

"Hahaha," Aisser laughed, "How can you, a great sage, be so stupid?"

"Oh right, I shouldn't have taught you that way," Jason realized, and smiled.

“You should teach her to pronounce ‘daddy’ directly,” Aisser suggested.

Jason then spoke slowly and steadily, opening his mouth slowly and wide, deliberately showing the baby his pronunciation: "Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy..."

“Yes~~~” Lorenwei responded accurately.

Although the pronunciation is a little unclear, the sound quality is crisp and lovely.

**************************

Ruins of the Demon King's Castle.

The bat-winged baby had grown a bit, but was still curled up on the ground.

Its wings had shrunk considerably, but its body was as large as a two- or three-year-old human baby.

No, the magic here is too weak, and there's no food at all. It's not enough to support my growth, Meilan. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive...

The newly born Demon King's successor, Meilan, struggles to make a living.

I must live on and revive the demon race!

No, let's kill the hero's reincarnation first!

Glug glug ...

Do not……

Let's figure out how to fill our stomachs first...

Chapter 005 Men are all big pig hooves

Saba Cathedral in the core area of ​​southern mainland China.

The once magnificent church now has somewhat worn-out interior walls, having not been renovated or maintained for many years.

This is one of the branches of the Holy Church, the core of the Holy Maiden Church.

“Your Excellency Bishop Harosa, another priest has left with three pastors and over a hundred parishioners,” a priest respectfully reported to the bishop.

“Understood…” Bishop Harosa waved his hand, dismissing the priest.

After the priest left, Bishop Harosa, with his white hair at the temples, finally showed a worried expression.

We're already 30 million gold coins in debt this year, and I'm afraid we'll be besieged by creditors next year! Bishop Harosa was in a panic.

The situation is getting increasingly serious, with members switching to other religions and even priests leaving the Church of St. Mary.

After a long silence, Bishop Halosa rose and prayed to the statue of God in the church as if talking to himself.

"God, please guide our most devout believers and tell us when the saint will descend after the hero's passing?"

This was the first time Bishop Harosa had prayed like this.

Although the Holy Church remains the mainstream church on the mainland, its branch, the Holy Maiden Church, has long since declined from its peak.

Fifty years ago, the arrival of the Holy Maiden Elena brought the most glorious moment to the Holy Maiden Sect, which at that time occupied five of the seven archbishoprics of the Holy Church.

However, with Elena stepping down and going into seclusion, and Bishop Brigade also retiring, the status and influence of the Church of Saint Mary gradually declined.

Correspondingly, the handsome young man, the Son of Light, has always been a supporter of the Son of Light Sect. After decades of activity, he has gained an absolute dominant position.

Finally, in the past two years, Archbishop Aisser, who supported the Saintess Sect, has emerged and seems to possess the bloodline of Saint Elena, making the revival of the Saintess Sect seem imminent. Furthermore, it is said that during the final battle against the Demon King, Aisser was promoted to Cardinal, which is a cause for great celebration.

Cardinal, that's a professional rank just one step away from the Pope! Bishop Harosa wept with joy.

However, the revival of the Holy Maiden Sect was short-lived. After helping the hero defeat the Demon King, Archbishop Ethers married the Great Sage and went into seclusion.

Bishop Harosa was dumbfounded.

The celebration ceremony for the cardinal's triumphant return was almost complete, and a considerable amount of deposit had already been paid, resulting in a heavy loss.

No, no, while money is tight, the key issue is a lack of connections and faith.

The hero revealed himself; he was none other than the former Holy Son of Light. Although he lacked direct divine recognition and an official title, everyone on the continent would assume he belonged to the Holy Son Sect.

The Demon King was defeated, and although the hero sacrificed himself, his legend will live on forever.

Aisser, who was the most likely candidate to be elected as a saint, got married! Isn't this a disaster of faith collapse for the Saintess Sect?

Furthermore, the Saba Cathedral's fountain of miracles has not performed any miracles for many years, as if even God has forgotten the favor He once bestowed upon the Sacred Hearts.

Decades ago, the Fountain of Miracles could emit an unparalleled sacred light, and the holy water could form divine writing, revealing miracles that inspired awe and worship.

"God, please grant us a new candidate for sainthood..."

Bishop Harosa summoned his close followers, and hundreds knelt before God in devout prayer.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the devout believers of the Catherine Church prayed, the fountain of miracles in the center of the main hall remained dry and unresponsive to any divine power.

Cardinal Ethers, where are you hiding? What are you doing? Our Church of St. Mary is about to collapse! Bishop Harosa lamented.

******************************

A small house in the suburbs of Zerou City.

"They're not back yet," Aisser sighed.

Bored, she pulled out the cookie tray that was baking in the fireplace and looked at it for the thirteenth time.

The country dishes were simple, and she, coming from a privileged background, had long since grown tired of them. At the beginning of her pregnancy, she wasn't too picky about food, but now, as her baby grows, Aisser finds the diet boring.

“If it weren’t for the possibility of Sylph arriving at any moment, I would really like to travel around the continent.” Aisser said to Lorenve, “Back when our hero team was resting, we said that we would go on a group trip after defeating the Demon King.”

Now a year old, Lorenwei lay on the bed, staring wide-eyed at Aisser with some difficulty.

“It must be tiring for the baby to look at Mommy while lying down, right?” Aisser noticed that Lorenwei was tilting her little head to look, and picked her up with a smile: “If Mu Zhe were still here, he would definitely be able to invent some strange and wonderful life aids.”

"Of course," Lorenwei nodded inwardly. "I want to invent all maternity and baby products for you, except for safety pants."

"It's a pity Mu Zhe passed away; everyone is very sad. Otherwise, we really would have gone on a trip together." Aisser was lost in memories of the past and remained silent for a long time.

Group tour? Are we supposed to just watch you two show off your love? Lorenwei thought to herself.

At that moment, the warning bell of the alert array rang.

The voice was slow and elegant; it was one of their own people approaching.

"I'm back." Soon, the voice of the great sage Jansen came.

"So, how was the city?" Aisser stood up to greet her, smiling broadly and not raising any objections about the long visit.

This is a proposition.

“Haha, can you believe it? About the carpenters in the city…” Jason put down his empty satchel.

Aisser asked in surprise, "Huh? Didn't the carpenter pass away?"

“Ha, I wasn’t talking about him.” Jason kept laughing.

"What interesting thing did you hear?" Aisser's gossip-loving nature blazed as she immediately pressed her husband for an answer. "What did you hear outside? Tell me quickly."

She didn't even care about the answer to the potentially fatal question.
