Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of those around them, and many people gathered outside the inn pointing and whispering, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

"Stop!" A clear female voice broke the chaos.

Shen Yunxi appeared at the entrance of the inn, her face cold and her eyes sweeping sharply over the crowd.

Di Xuanshang paused, then withdrew his fist.

"Xi'er, what brings you here?" His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Shen Yunxi ignored him and walked straight up to Mo Wusang, looking down at him. "Who are you? Why are you bothering me?"

Mo Wusang struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a grin, "Miss Shen, don't misunderstand, I just want to make friends with you."

"Friends?" Shen Yunxi sneered. "You really think I don't know anything? Someone like you, sneaking around and ambushing others in the middle of the night, dares to talk to me about being friends?"

Mo Wusang's smile froze.

"Xi'er, don't waste your breath on him, this kind of person..." Di Xuanshang stepped forward, trying to pull Shen Yunxi behind him.

"Step back." Shen Yunxi coldly interrupted him.

Di Xuanshang was stunned; this was the first time Shen Yunxi had spoken to him in this tone.

Shen Yunxi squatted down, her slender fingers lifting Mo Wusang's chin, forcing him to look into her eyes.

"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is, you'd better stay away from me," she said coldly, her eyes carrying a hint of warning, "Otherwise..."

She paused, a dangerous smile playing on her lips. "You'll regret this."

After saying that, she let go of his hand and turned to leave.

Di Xuanshang gave Mo Wusang a deep look before following him.

Mo Wusang watched the two figures leave, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting..."

The next morning, Shen Yunxi and her group set off early to return to Phoenix City.

Shen Yunxi looked at Di Xuanshang: "You don't have any designer brands, what are your plans?"

Di Xuanshang paused for a moment, then said, "Be careful, I'll be waiting for you in Phoenix City."

At the foot of Fengqi Mountain, the area was packed with people and bustling with activity.

The moment everyone stepped onto the Phoenix Perch Mountain gate, they felt their soul power being suppressed, and even their companion soul spirits were suppressed within the soul imprint.

"What happened? Why has my soul power disappeared?"

"I can't summon my companion spirit either!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and many people began to panic.

A sneer suddenly rang out, "Idiot, the first round of the Star-Picking Pavilion's assessment has already begun."

The sudden sound startled everyone, and they then realized that people around them had begun to walk up the mountain one after another.

Without lengthy notices or elaborate ceremonies, the assessment began quietly.

The test was simple yet brutal: climb to the summit of Phoenix Perch Mountain using only physical strength, without using soul power.

Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu looked at the mountaintop that almost touched the sky, their little faces scrunched up, pitifully tugging at Shen Yunxi's clothes.

"Mommy, this mountain is too high! I feel like I'm going to die from exhaustion!" Shen Ruoyu wailed, her little head drooping, looking utterly hopeless.

"Brother, you're so spineless!" Shen Ruoyu said, hands on her hips, looking like a little adult. "If you can't be good, then you'll have to call me 'sister' from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoning's eyes widened immediately. "You're dreaming! I'm your brother!"

Watching the two little ones bickering, Shen Yunxi shook her head helplessly. They hadn't even started crawling yet, and they were already fighting amongst themselves.
