Chapter 2376

"Pfft…" The four members of the Leng Manshuang family burst into laughter.

Ge Yanyan carefully lifted the child. "This baby is so well-behaved. But he looks only four or five months old. Why was he in a box, and why was he being transported by an escort team?"

Zhu Yanyi had been feeling a bit annoyed, but hearing Ge Yanyan’s words, she frowned slightly. She took out her Immortal Emperor communication token. "I intercepted a baby, about four or five months old. Check which noble family, sect, or famous person has lost a child."

Ouyang Mingyue had known that Zhu Yanyi contacting her wouldn’t be for good news, but she hadn’t expected it to be about this. "I understand. I will have people investigate."

After sending the message, Zhu Yanyi walked over to Ge Yanyan and took the child. Although she had never given birth, as a doctor, she knew how to hold a baby properly. Besides, her main goal was to examine the child’s condition.

Zhu Yanyi carefully checked the baby. Fortunately, the child was generally healthy. However, after observing the baby’s physical state, Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She only told Ge Yanyan, "Aunt Ge, you need to take care of this child for the next few days. Please put aside other tasks and focus entirely on caring for her. It won’t be for long."

"Okay." Ge Yanyan’s own children were grown up now. It was rare for her to have a baby to care for, so she was naturally willing.

After making the arrangements, Zhu Yanyi said no more. She simply performed a daily energy guidance session for the baby to ensure her healthy growth.

A day later, Ouyang Mingyue’s communication token lit up. "I say, is that child of yours a Natural Spirit Body?"

"It seems you already know whose child this is," Zhu Yanyi said with a faint smile.

Ouyang Mingyue sighed. "It really is a Natural Spirit Body. Good grief! Are you trying to stir up trouble because the Immortal Realm is too peaceful?"

Zhu Yanyi didn’t understand the meaning behind her words. She just chuckled. "Your Majesty, complaining to me won’t help. I don’t know what’s going on. Anyway, matters of the Immortal Realm are not the Underworld’s business. They have nothing to do with me. The most important thing right now is figuring out who this child belongs to."

"A Natural Spirit Body is nurtured by heaven itself. Naturally, he belongs to you," Ouyang Mingyue said with a grin. He definitely did not want this child.

"What do you mean 'nurtured by heaven, belongs to you'? What does that have to do with me?" Zhu Yanyi objected, displeased.

Ouyang Mingyue explained, "Theoretically, the child is not yours. But a Spirit Body transforms from Spirit Jade. Think of it like a blank book. You can write whatever you want on blank paper. A Natural Spirit Body is the same. They haven’t opened their eyes yet, so they are like a blank book. Since you obtained one, he belongs to the Underworld. How you raise him is up to you. But remember one thing: you must care for him yourself. Only if you care for him personally will he fully belong to you. At least until he opens his eyes, you must care for him yourself."

Ouyang Mingyue gave serious advice, though she was partly trying to give Zhu Yanyi more work.

"I see. You’re just giving me more trouble," Zhu Yanyi said speechlessly.

Ouyang Mingyue laughed. "There’s no choice. Since the child is in your hands, he belongs to the Underworld."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and twitched her lips. "Then how long do I have to raise this child?"

"A Natural Spirit Body will recognize you as his mother once he opens his eyes. Then you can send him to the Underworld. Use the Underworld’s aura to transform his body. He will naturally become a Yin Spirit and serve as your right-hand man," Ouyang Mingyue said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi was speechless. "The first child I took in was a descendant of Zhuge. Well, although I didn’t give birth to her, she is half Zhu family, and I know the ancestors. But this second child has no relation to me at all. I have to adopt another son. I’m dizzy. I feel that when my husband and I have our own children in the future, this one will unexpectedly become the third, and that will be very sad."

"There’s no help for it. Just remember to care for this child yourself," Ouyang Mingyue told her the most important point again.

"Fine. What will this child eat in the future?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Ouyang Mingyue replied, "Once the child wakes up and recognizes you as his mother, he will eat whatever you give him. Apart from being nurtured by heaven, once he becomes human, he is actually quite similar to ordinary people."

Ouyang Mingyue paused for a moment and added, "However, since you have this child, you must be careful. Do not let other immortals discover that he is a Natural Spirit Body."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I understand. I know the principle that possessing a treasure brings disaster. I will care for her personally. But, Your Majesty, I solved your problem. Where is my reward?"

Ouyang Mingyue hesitated, looking around nervously. "What reward? I don’t know about any reward."

"Don’t give me that. You said this was originally an Immortal Realm matter. Now you’re dumping the child on me, meaning you want me to take over. I have a good heart, so I’ll take it. Besides, my husband is away, and I’m a bit bored. Being a single mother is fine. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re calculating me. So you should give me something."

Since Ouyang Mingyue had dumped this trouble on her, Zhu Yanyi decided to extort her thoroughly.

Ouyang Mingyue was speechless. "Are you a robber? I gave you plenty of things last time."

"I’m not a robber, but I am a bandit. You know that. It’s my professional instinct. If I don’t rob you, who else will I rob?" Zhu Yanyi answered seriously. This answer left Ouyang Mingyue speechless.

"Fine. I’ll come over later. I’ll give it to you when we meet next," Ouyang Mingyue said.

"Don’t you have Immortal Bird Express? Have them send it over," Zhu Yanyi said. She had learned a lot about the Immortal Realm recently. There was a courier service called Immortal Bird Express, where all the birds in the Immortal Palace acted as couriers. Every bird in the Immortal Realm was a courier, so they could deliver anywhere.

"What have you been doing these days? You even know about Immortal Bird Express?" Ouyang Mingyue was completely speechless.

"No choice. Who asked me to be a newbie in the Immortal Realm? I naturally need to learn about everything here. But, Your Majesty, your Immortal Bird Express is really good. As long as there are birds, they can deliver items. Don’t worry, I’ll give you my address. Have Immortal Bird Express send the items over," Zhu Yanyi said shamelessly.
