Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

He almost instinctively held his breath, his heart pounding in his chest, his voice trembling with urgency: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true." Shen Ruoyu puffed out his little chest, his tone full of pride, his face radiating confidence. He nodded firmly and added, "My mother always keeps her word; she'll always do what she promises you. So, big brother, you can rest assured!"

“Yes, big brother.” Shen Ruoning’s delicate face was full of pride, her bright eyes blinking, her tone tinged with a hint of boasting: “My mother is amazing! Her companion soul beast is the Fire Feather Divine Phoenix! It’s just that it’s currently breaking through and can’t come out. Once it finishes its breakthrough, you’ll be able to see it!”

Fire Feather Divine Phoenix? An ancient divine beast?

Snowflakes and Blue Feathers were no longer the size of a palm. They stretched out their bodies and leaped down from Shen Yunxi's shoulder, landing steadily on the ground. In an instant, the two spirit beasts revealed their true forms, proving with their actions that what Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning had said was not empty words.

Moonlit Silver Fox? Ancient Divine Beast Ice Phoenix?

Bai Ruochen's gaze shifted from Xue Rong and Lan Yu before finally settling on Shen Yunxi, his heart churning with shock. Was she truly the Shen Yunxi whom the Northern Abyss Kingdom had always considered a waste, someone no one had ever even given a second glance? The once foolish and useless girl now exuded an undeniable aura of power. The Moonlit Silver Fox and the Ice Phoenix—these two legendary divine beasts were beings that were incredibly rare and precious. They were proud and powerful, yet now they willingly submitted to Shen Yunxi. How could this not astonish him?

"Why...why did you choose me?" After the initial shock, she asked instinctively.

Shen Yunxi's lips curled slightly as she frankly and directly said, "Because I don't want to see your companion soul beast buried on this continent!"

Bai Ruochen's hesitant gaze instantly hardened. He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within him, and slowly knelt on one knee. His deep and resolute voice echoed in the air: "If you can truly help me awaken my companion soul, if you can truly help me obtain the future position of the Bai family head, I, Bai Ruochen, hereby swear to dedicate my life to you, and from this day forward, I will follow your lead without question!"

He could no longer endure this humiliating existence. Deep within his soul surged resentment and longing. In this world where the strong were respected and strength was paramount, he was born into a family of Soul Imprints, yet he was unable to cultivate and suffered ridicule and contempt from others.

"Alright." Shen Yunxi parted her lips slightly, uttering a single word. Then, her phoenix eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp as she stared directly at Bai Ruochen, saying each word clearly, "On the day you awaken your soul, Yu Bao will form a contract with you. From then on, you will belong to him." She paused, her tone suddenly turning cold, carrying a hint of warning: "If you dare to betray him, I will grind you to dust and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

The icy voice, like a sharp, cold blade, pierced Bai Ruochen's heart, causing him to tremble.

"Master, several unfamiliar auras are approaching this way." Lan Yu excitedly flapped her wings: "Master, you and the little master have worked hard just now. You should rest well. Leave the rest to me."

After being frozen and dormant for a thousand years, it's finally out, so of course it needs to stretch its muscles and bones!
