Quick Wear Beauty

More than a month has quietly slipped by.

Bai Heng's injuries have improved considerably, and his cultivation has recently increased, which makes him very happy.

During the day, Li Guang would go into seclusion for a short period, refining some elixirs to strengthen her foundation and cultivate her vital energy in the alchemy room, or tending to a few spiritual plants she obtained from Su Muyan in the spiritual field. It has to be said that the spatial spiritual artifact that Yu Yu's mother gave her back then had soil in which everything could grow, so she never lacked medicinal materials for refining elixirs.

Bai Heng rarely stayed indoors anymore. Every day at dawn, he would excitedly head to the depths of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts, hoping to increase his combat experience.

The Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts covers a vast area, and most of the demons are rather lazy and do not participate in external conflicts. Beasts that truly enjoy fighting with humans or joining forces with the Fang have long since left the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts.

They would change their accommodation every five days.

As evening falls, Bai Heng would bring back a glossy snowline rabbit, or a flame-tailed chicken whose paws were still twitching slightly. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he could even bring back a silvery fish, which he would present to Li Guang like a treasure, with the tip of its tail held high: "I'll make you braised rabbit legs today!"

Yes, being a chef is nowhere near as comfortable as being a food taster!

Li Guang sat on the soft chair, instructing Bai Heng on how to cook, while listening to him recount the amusing things he had encountered in the abyss that day—how he had tricked a stupid stone bear so easily, and how the fruits in a certain valley were ripe and that they would pick them to eat the next day.

The baby in her belly was so well-behaved. If it weren't for the fact that she had taken some rare and delicious food and could feel the baby's happiness, she would have forgotten that she was pregnant, since her belly was still flat.

Three months into her pregnancy, her cultivation level not only didn't drop but actually increased, and she's now at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. Thanks to Su Muyan and Lu Jinghong's support, she's become incredibly wealthy. Before entering the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts, she even spent ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to stock up on a lot of good stuff.

Bai Heng, the young master of the demon race, was not lacking in rare and precious treasures, and generously gave her a large number of nourishing items.

Bai Heng usually grinds the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus into powder and mixes it into porridge, and mixes the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow with spiritual spring water for her to drink as tea. Every time, Li Guang praises her so much that she wags her tail very fast.

Bai Heng also said that he was with her throughout her pregnancy, and the baby in her belly should be calling him "Dad".

Li Guang smiled and agreed, saying that she could recognize him as the child's godfather.

"Hmph, since you want me to be their godfather so badly, then fine."

The nine-tailed fox snorted and ran off with its ears turning red.

Li Guang was amused by his arrogant demeanor and couldn't imagine how handsome his expression would be if he were in human form.

Because the fox's original form is more suitable for healing injuries, Li Guang has only seen his human form since that battle, and hasn't seen it at other times.

That day, Li Guang had just completed a small cycle of meditation when she felt a strange throbbing in her abdomen. It wasn't pain, but rather it felt as if something was gently bumping against her dantian, carrying warm spiritual energy that spread outwards.

She was slightly taken aback, then realized—the baby was about to be born.

Mermaids do not experience excruciating labor pains during childbirth. They simply need to gently guide the eggs in their wombs with spiritual power to slide them out on their own.

She took out a lot of spirit stones and scattered them around the spirit spring. The clear, cool light of the spirit spring rippled in the inner room, and the misty spiritual energy swirled around, making one feel completely comfortable.

Li Guang sat knee-high by the spring, drawing upon the power of her merfolk bloodline. A wisp of shimmering white spiritual energy condensed at her fingertips and slowly entered her dantian. In just a few breaths, two warm halos floated out from her body and landed on the spiritual spring.

As the halo faded, the two eggs floated quietly on the water's surface.

The egg, about the size of a ping-pong ball, has a smooth, jade-like shell with a faint moon-white luster. Upon closer inspection, one can see fine, silvery patterns flowing across its surface.

The other one was much larger, about the size of a fist, with a very light turquoise shell, like crushed spring water, and you could vaguely see light and shadow flickering inside.
