One of Xiao Fei's clones was diligently researching within the space, attempting to find a method to break through to the Supreme realm.
Another clone remained outside, occasionally delivering prenatal care medicine to Emperor Guiyi, earning him some immortal stones.
Over the years, the immortal stones Xiao Fei had earned from Emperor Guiyi, aside from setting aside a portion for his own breakthrough.
He had also managed to increase the time flow speed within the space to 230 times.
"Your Majesty! I have prepared another 100 portions of prenatal care medicine for you and have specifically brought them over."
"Thank you!"
The transaction between the two had become routine. Emperor Guiyi casually accepted the prenatal care medicine and tossed out a storage bag filled with high-grade immortal stones.
Xiao Fei accepted the immortal stones, scanned them with his divine sense, confirmed the quantity was correct, and casually put them into his space.
"Your Majesty, besides prenatal care herbs, in my hometown, there's also a practice called prenatal education. I wonder if you might be interested."
Xiao Fei had been selling prenatal care medicine to Emperor Guiyi, and while the income was good, after a long time, he had grown somewhat numb to it.
He felt that his current industry was too singular and that he should implement a diversification strategy.
Even though he was constantly shearing the same sheep, he couldn't just shear its belly all the time. He could vary his methods and shear from its entire body, from its head and neck to its legs.
Xiao Fei referred to this method of shearing sheep as multi-faceted, three-dimensional, and a one-stop service.
Besides prenatal education, he had already planned over a dozen projects for when the child was born, waiting for Emperor Guiyi to spend immortal stones on them.
"What do you mean by prenatal education?"
Emperor Guiyi's interest was immediately piqued.
"Prenatal education is..."
Xiao Fei rambled on for quite some time. In reality, he didn't fully understand it himself.
When one doesn't understand something, it's best to speak as abstractly as possible. If one speaks too concretely, it's easy to reveal one's lack of understanding.
The goal is to make others feel like they understand, yet not quite understand, leaving them in a fog. This makes one appear profound and unfathomable.
As expected, Emperor Guiyi was mostly swayed by Xiao Fei's words. Although he still didn't fully grasp it, he understood that it would be good for the fetus and that the fetus would like it.
Emperor Guiyi, at this moment, had accumulated millions of years of paternal love with nowhere to express it.
As long as he heard that it was good for the fetus in the womb and that the fetus would like it, he was willing to spend immortal stones.
Thus, Xiao Fei took on another task: providing prenatal education for Emperor Guiyi's son.
Xiao Fei himself only had a partial understanding of these matters. Currently, it involved humming little tunes, telling stories, dancing, and performing some talents.
In fact, he could also gently stroke the pregnant woman's belly, but he was afraid of being beaten and didn't dare to do so.
However, Xiao Fei's calculations went awry this time. After a few days of observation, Emperor Guiyi dismissed Xiao Fei, deciding to handle it himself.
From then on, every day, Emperor Guiyi, with his rough voice, would softly sing songs and tell stories to the fetus.
He would twist his burly physique to dance for the child in his womb and perform his talents.
It wasn't that he was pained by the immortal stones spent, but rather that he genuinely wanted to do more for his son in the womb.
Only by doing so could his heart find some measure of peace.
Time passed day by day, with Emperor Guiyi continuing this routine.
Several times when Xiao Fei brought the prenatal care medicine, he witnessed this scene and was moved by Emperor Guiyi's profound paternal love.
Reflecting on himself, he felt that his love for Xiao Houzi seemed to be lacking.
In contrast to Emperor Guiyi, Xiao Fei felt like a stepfather to Xiao Houzi.
Alas! He was still an unqualified father!
This was what Xiao Fei thought every time he left after delivering the prenatal care medicine.
Time flew by, and over ten thousand years later, Emperor Guiyi's child was finally born.
"Hahaha..."
"I'm a father too!"
Emperor Guiyi held the newborn child in his arms, watching as its round, innocent eyes looked at him obediently.
"Alas! This nose, these eyes, this chin, and this broad forehead – it's as if he was sculpted from the same mold as me!"
Emperor Guiyi exclaimed as he looked at the child in his embrace.
"Giggle giggle..."
At that moment, the child began to giggle at him, its little hands and feet waving in the air.
"Smack!"
Emperor Guiyi, delighted by the sight, planted a kiss on the baby's little face.
After this kiss, he seemed to remember that it was time for him to act.
Emperor Guiyi, holding the child with one hand, gently placed his other hand on the baby's head, preparing to let his already separated clone invade it.
Although this child had endured ten thousand years of gestation and was born with the realm of Earth Immortal, it was still too young to know how to use the power contained within its body. In the face of a Supreme expert like Emperor Guiyi, it was more fragile than tofu.
"Giggle giggle..."
The child continued to laugh and wave its limbs, completely unaware of the fate that awaited it.
Emperor Guiyi's expression turned sinister. He placed his hand on the infant's tender head, and a clone, separated from his divine soul, materialized on his hand.
As the one who led his army to unify the entire Guiyi Realm, Emperor Guiyi was naturally a decisive and ruthless individual.
However, at this moment, a struggle and a hint of unwillingness appeared on his face.
The clone that had just materialized on his hand quietly retreated, and his palm gradually moved away.
"Giggle giggle..."
The infant in his arms continued to wave its limbs, completely oblivious to what had just transpired.
Emperor Guiyi gazed deeply at the infant in his arms, gritted his teeth, and a fierce look once again appeared on his brow.
"Those who achieve great things are not bound by trivialities. At worst, I can have another child later."
Yes, he raised his hand, only to place it on the infant's head and then immediately withdraw it, casually swatting away two approaching mosquitoes for the baby.
"Forget it. Since you have come to the mortal world, I shall let you live for three more days to experience the prosperity of this world."
After Emperor Guiyi made this decision, he naturally took the infant around to travel for the next three days.
Three days later...
"Since I've already let you live for three more days, what's wrong with letting you live for ten more days!"
Ten days later...
"Since more than ten days have passed, let's just extend it to a month. We can even hold a full moon celebration."
A month later...
The full moon celebration was grand, with Emperor Guiyi hosting guests from all directions.
Xiao Fei also brought a congratulatory gift to offer his good wishes.
He still remembered Emperor Guiyi's past promise: once his son was born, he would bestow upon him a great opportunity.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your noble son! I have specially brought a small gift today!"
Xiao Fei took out a jade box, inside which lay a golden immortal pill.
"This immortal pill is useless to cultivators like you and me, but for an infant, it is quite an opportunity."
When he said the word "opportunity," Xiao Fei deliberately emphasized his tone, hinting strongly: "What about the promised great opportunity from before?"
However, Emperor Guiyi seemed to hear nothing at this moment. He pretended not to understand and did not mention the matter of bestowing a great opportunity at all.
