"Waa, waa."
Inside the inner chamber, the sound of an infant crying, imbued with a powerful Soul fluctuation, rang out.
The sound was somewhat sharp and very loud, as if it could strike directly at one's Soul.
"She's given birth! She's given birth! Big Sister Yun Yun has given birth! It's a boy!" Xiao Yi Xian quickly walked out of the inner chamber, her beautiful face filled with excitement.
"How is Yun'er? Is she alright?" Xiao Se immediately stepped forward to take Xiao Yi Xian's hand, pressing for an answer.
"Rest assured, Big Sister Yun Yun is in good health now. Although she suffered quite a bit because the child was born with such high spirit power, I used my Spirit Bone skill to treat her, and I also gave her the Medicinal Pill you refined. She has recovered very well." Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly. "Hurry in and take a look."
Xiao Se nodded and quickly stepped into the room, with Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and the others following closely behind.
Yun Yun's boudoir was located in the Cloud Mist Sect Master Hall, so after only a few steps, Xiao Se arrived at her door, familiar with the path.
With the assistance of his penetrating vision, Xiao Se could clearly see Yun Yun inside the boudoir, nursing the child.
Xiao Se smiled and symbolically knocked on the door, saying softly, "Yun'er, may I come in?"
"Xiao Se?" Yun Yun, inside the room, heard Xiao Se's voice outside. At first, she was overjoyed, but then she became shy. She hurriedly tidied her clothes and said anxiously, "Xiao Se, please wait outside for a moment."
Xiao Se did not wait for Yun Yun to finish speaking. He signaled for the women beside him to wait a moment, then pushed the door open and entered, seeing Yun Yun with her clothes disheveled at her chest.
"I told you to wait outside for a moment." Yun Yun hurriedly adjusted her clothes, her face full of shyness.
"What does it matter? We've been husband and wife for so long; besides, is there any part of you I haven't seen?" Xiao Se walked towards Yun Yun with a smile.
"You..." Yun Yun wanted to say something more, but Xiao Se pulled her into an embrace and said softly, "Yun'er, you've worked hard."
Hearing this, Yun Yun's heart immediately softened. She snuggled into Xiao Se's arms, her voice filled with tears and grievance: "You little bastard, you were gone for so long. I thought you weren't coming back!"
"I said I would be back before you gave birth, and I did. Haven't I returned?" Xiao Se gently stroked Yun Yun's back and said softly.
"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later." Yun Yun wiped away her tears, a gentle smile appearing on her pretty face. She turned around and carefully picked up the baby from the bed, smiling at Xiao Se: "Take a look. This is our child. This little guy's spirit power was shockingly strong the moment he was born. He really put me through the wringer. If it weren't for Xian'er being here, I would have been in trouble, perhaps even..."
"Don't say such discouraging words. I won't let anything happen to you." Xiao Se raised his hand to gently cover Yun Yun's delicate red lips, then took the baby from her arms, a look of doting affection appearing on his face.
This was a very fair and beautiful baby boy, having inherited the excellent genes of Xiao Se and Yun Yun, with very refined features. His skin was not wrinkled like that of other ordinary newborn babies; it was very fair and smooth.
Perhaps there was some sort of mysterious connection; after Xiao Se held him, the baby did not cry and slept soundly.
"He looks quite like me." Xiao Se smiled.
Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Xiao Se and chided playfully, "He's your seed; if he doesn't look like you, who would he look like?"
"Yun'er is right. I'll slap my own mouth." As he said this, Xiao Se made a gesture of slapping his own mouth.
"Don't..." Yun Yun grabbed Xiao Se's hand. "I was just saying it casually; I'm not blaming you."
"Hehe..." Xiao Se took Yun Yun's hand, kissed it, and then smiled, "Have you thought of a name yet?"
Yun Yun shook her head. "You are the child's father; the name should be chosen by you."
Xiao Se nodded, turned his gaze to the window, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't have much to fuss about. The child was born during the Hour of the Snake, so I think we should call him Xiao Si, with the nickname A Si."
"Xiao Si, A Si." Yun Yun murmured, repeating the name. Her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she smiled, "Although it was chosen rather casually, the name is unexpectedly pleasant to the ear. It sounds very intimate. Let's call him A Si from now on."
Xiao Se nodded, turned around, and said to the door, "Xian'er, Dong'er, Xue'er, Shasha, Die, Nana, Zhuqing, Zi Yan, Feier, Rongrong, Nalan Yanran, come quickly and meet your son, nephew, younger brother, and Junior Brother."
As soon as his voice fell, a bevy of beautiful girls surrounded them from outside the door. This gave Yun Yun quite a shock. Although she was not unaware that Xiao Se had many women outside, this was just too exaggerated. Even just Xiao Yi Xian, a young Dou Zun, had already caused her enough distress.
With so many arriving all at once, even Yun Yun, who was extremely confident in her own beauty, couldn't help but be slightly stunned by several of them. Comparing them, she realized she was indeed slightly inferior.
Next came the introductions.
Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Gu Yuena, Zhuqing, and Ya Fei, like Yun Yun, acknowledged Xiao Si as their son.
Die acknowledged Xiao Si as her nephew.
Xiao Xue called Xiao Si her younger brother as usual.
Ning Rongrong and Nalan Yanran, being students of Xiao Se and Yun Yun, called Xiao SiJunior Brother.
As for Zi Yan, she grabbed a handful of Medicinal Pills and, eating them like beans, shouted while chewing: "The big bad guy bullied me, I want to be a mommy too!"
This drew scornful looks from the other women, only Xiao Xue gave her a look of support.
However, the outcome was good overall; because of the birth of Xiao Si, the entire Sea Alliance held a grand banquet.
At the banquet, Xiao Se was uncharacteristically high-spirited from drinking. For the veterans who had joined the Sea Alliance, he casually handed out Dou Ling Pills and Huangji Pills as if they were worthless, giving them away as red packets. He also gave away quite a few Break-Sect Pills. The biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly the Cloud Mist Sect where Yun Yun resided; they not only received ten Dou Ling Pills, ten Huangji Pills, and five Break-Sect Pills, but even obtained several Grade 7 Medicinal Pills.
Of course, those Medicinal Pills were naturally handed directly to Yun Yun for her to distribute freely, with no outsiders able to touch them.
After the banquet ended, Xiao Se announced another major piece of news: one month later, he would refine an Eighth Grade Pill, the One Beginning Pill, to shape the Physique of the Xiao Family's Qilin child, Xiao Si, and enhance his talent.
Once this news broke, it shocked quite a few people. Even some reclusive Dou Zuns of the Northwest Continent were attracted. Upon hearing that the Sea Alliance possessed several Dou Zuns and had produced a Grade 8 Alchemist, they all rushed over upon hearing the news and were received by Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa, who were also Dou Zuns.
They promised that as long as Xiao Se could refine the Eighth Grade Pill, they would be willing to follow the Sea Alliance's lead. This invisibly expanded the influence of the Sea Alliance.
And this was the result that Xiao Se and the women wanted. After all, the more high-end combat power the Sea Alliance had, the more guaranteed their future would be.
At least, they would be able to cope easily when facing experts at the Elder Zun level from the Hall of Souls.
