Joy of Life: Born to Ye Qingmei, raised by Li Yunrui

These high-quality rewards allowed Ye Tian's strength to advance by leaps and bounds once again!

His physical body, tempered by various rare and precious materials and divine martial arts manuals, became increasingly powerful, even faintly possessing a sense of indestructibility.

The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the Heaven-Covering Dharma Wheel Sea Scroll within his body were also operating more and more smoothly, and their power was becoming more and more astonishing.

Sometimes, Lin Wan'er would look at Ye Tian curiously and ask in her childish voice, "Little brother, why are you always so warm? It feels so comfortable to hug you."

Ye Tian could only respond with "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds, but inwardly he chuckled, "This is all thanks to the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, how could it not be warm?"

As time went by, the feelings between Ye Tian and Lin Wan'er grew deeper and deeper.

Lin Wan'er treated Ye Tian as her dearest younger brother, taking care of him and protecting him in every possible way.

And Ye Tian, ​​in his heart, also cherished this kind and adorable little girl.

They regarded her as their only relative in the world besides their mother.

He knew that one day in the future, he would use his powerful strength to protect this sister who was so good to him.

Of course, for now, he still needs to continue to develop in a low-key manner and continue to check in stealthily.

After all, the outside world is full of turbulent changes, and countless dangers and challenges await him.

And he also has a blood feud that he needs to avenge!

Emperor Qing, you just wait!

One day, I will make you pay the most terrible price for my mother's death!

A hint of determination and coldness, beyond his years, flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.

Then, he reverted to his innocent, childlike demeanor and gave Lin Wan'er a bright smile.

"Eeya ya," (Sister, tell me another story!)

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Tian has been in this world for almost a year.

Lin Wan'er, too, has grown from a delicate little girl into a graceful and lively three-year-old.

Because of her chronic illness, she still appears somewhat frail, but her clear and bright eyes are always filled with love for life and concern for Ye Tian.

She genuinely cared for Ye Tian, ​​her "younger brother."

Every morning, she would arrive at the Princess's residence on time, and the first thing she would do was run to Ye Tian's cradle to see if he was sleeping well.

She would carefully tuck Ye Tian in, then gently call out in her soft, sweet voice, "Little Tian, ​​time to get up! The sun's shining on your bottom!"

If Ye Tian is still "lying in bed," she won't get angry. She'll just move a small stool, sit by the cradle, take out her favorite picture book, and tell Ye Tian stories that she herself doesn't quite understand yet, in her childish voice.

Sometimes, she would secretly hide her favorite snacks in her sleeve and, when Li Yunrui wasn't looking, slip them to Ye Tian's lips, whispering, "Little Tian, ​​this is something your sister Wan'er specially saved for you, it's so delicious!"

Although Ye Tian couldn't eat these things yet, seeing Lin Wan'er's bright, expectant eyes, he would smack his lips in agreement, as if he were really tasting something delicious, which made Lin Wan'er giggle.

Li Yunrui naturally welcomed the close interaction between her daughter and her "adopted son".

She even felt that since Ye Tian came into her life, Lin Wan'er's health seemed to have improved, and she smiled more often than before.

The sun shone brightly that day.

Li Yunrui was taking a walk in the Imperial Garden with Lin Wan'er and Ye Tian.

Three-year-old Lin Wan'er, dressed in a beautiful pale yellow palace gown, looked like a happy little butterfly, chasing and playing among the flowers.

Ye Tian, ​​held in Li Yunrui's arms, curiously looked around at the magnificent royal garden.

Just then, a hearty laugh came from not far away.

"Haha, my Wan'er, why are you so happy today?"

Emperor Qing walked slowly over, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

He wore a warm smile and looked at Lin Wan'er with loving eyes.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Li Yunrui and the palace servants around him quickly bowed in respect.

"Rise." Emperor Qing waved his hand, his gaze falling on Ye Tian in Li Yunrui's arms.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a complex, almost imperceptible glint flashing within them.

Is this Ye Qingmei's son?

He does indeed resemble her in appearance.

"Royal brother." Li Yunrui hugged Ye Tian, ​​a perfectly timed smile on his face, and went to greet him.

"This is Ye Tian, ​​the child my sister adopted."

Emperor Qing's gaze lingered on Ye Tian's face for a moment, then he reached out as if to hug him.

Seeing this, Li Yunrui felt a slight tightness in her heart, but she remained calm and handed Ye Tian over.

Emperor Qing took Ye Tian and found that he felt Ye Tian was heavier and more solid than he had imagined.

He carefully examined the baby in his arms.

Ye Tian stared at him with her big, dark eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss, appearing unusually calm and intelligent.

For no apparent reason, Emperor Qing's heart stirred.

This child seems to be somewhat unusual.

He reached out his finger and gently teased Ye Tian's little face.

Ye Tian grinned, revealing a toothless smile, and reached out his little hand to grab Emperor Qing's finger.

That innocent and adorable appearance stirred a ripple in Emperor Qing's heart.

"He's quite a clever little fellow."

Emperor Qing's tone revealed no emotion.

He held Ye Tian in his arms and asked, seemingly casually, "Yun Rui, why did you decide to adopt this child?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui's eyes dimmed slightly, and a perfectly measured sadness and longing appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, as you know, my sister and I are as close as sisters."

"Now that she has tragically passed away, leaving behind this only bloodline, I, your humble sister, cannot bear to see him all alone and helpless."

"So, we brought him back to our manor and treated him as our own son. It was a small comfort to Sister Ye in heaven."

Her voice, tinged with a sob, was sincere and moving.

Emperor Qing listened quietly without saying a word.

He knew, of course, that Li Yunrui's words were half true and half false.

But he had to admit that Li Yunrui's reasoning was indeed something he couldn't refute.

"You're quite thoughtful."

Emperor Qing said calmly and returned Ye Tian to Li Yunrui.

His fingers inadvertently touched Ye Tian's wrist.

A faint, almost imperceptible stream of true energy silently entered Ye Tian's body.

This is Emperor Qing's test!

He was examining the child's body to see if there was anything unusual.

However, after entering Ye Tian's body, that true energy vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Within Ye Tian's body, it was as if an invisible vortex instantly devoured and dissolved the probing true energy.

A hint of surprise flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes.

This child is indeed a bit strange!

However, he did not show any unusual behavior.

After all, what kind of trouble can a newborn baby cause, even if it has some special characteristics?

Moreover, Li Yunrui was looking at him with concern, her eyes filled with vigilance and protectiveness.

Emperor Qing knew that if he showed any malice towards the child now, Li Yunrui would definitely fight him to the death.

"That's enough."

Emperor Qing sighed inwardly.

For Li Yunrui's sake, and also for the sake of this child, who might still have some use, we'll do it.

He decided to leave the child alone for the time being.

"Since you adopted him, then treat him well."

Emperor Qing's tone softened considerably.

"I also hope that he can grow up safely."

These words were both a reassurance to Li Yunrui and a veiled warning.

Li Yunrui naturally understood the deeper meaning behind it.

She hugged Ye Tian and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qing nodded, teased Lin Wan'er a little longer, and then turned and left, surrounded by a group of palace servants.

Only after Emperor Qing's figure completely disappeared did Li Yunrui secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew that this hurdle was temporarily over.

But she also understood that as long as Ye Tian was alive, the thorn in Emperor Qing's heart would never be removed.

She must be more careful and cautious to protect the child.

Ye Tian felt a wave of fear after being hugged by Emperor Qing.

He could clearly sense the probing true energy emanating from Emperor Qing.

Fortunately, he cultivated the Heaven-Covering Technique, which made the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm a world of its own, capable of dispelling external probes.

Otherwise, if Emperor Qing discovers the secret within him, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"That old Emperor Qing is indeed no pushover!"

Ye Tian cursed inwardly.

It seems he'll have to be more careful from now on.

Not only must we guard against the enemies in plain sight, but we must also be wary of this unfathomable and capricious emperor!

His path to becoming stronger is long and arduous!

···········

Unlike the unpredictable and turbulent atmosphere of Kyoto.

Danzhou, located far on the border of Nanqing, appears peaceful and serene.

A gentle sea breeze carries a faint, salty smell.

The wind blew over the ancient city walls, over the cobblestone streets, and over the slightly dilapidated courtyard of the Fan family mansion.

At this moment, in the back garden of the Fan family mansion.

A toddler, about one year old, wearing open-crotch pants, walking with a slightly unsteady gait.

At this moment, she is stretching out her little hands, trying her best to chase a colorful butterfly.

He was Fan Xian, who had narrowly escaped death in the capital and was sent here by Wu Zhu.

After a year of recuperation and the meticulous care from everyone in the Fan family, Fan Xian was no longer in his dying state.

His little face was rosy and had a healthy glow.
