Chapter 2377

Ouyang Mingyue sighed. "Fine, I will have the immortal bird deliver things to you." She added, "I wonder if your Underworld is too poor, forcing you to rob people like this."

Zhu Yanyi giggled and ended the call.

Since Ouyang Mingyue said Zhu Yanyi must care for the child personally, Zhu Yanyi naturally went to do so. She looked at the sleeping child and said nothing.

Ge Yanyan also noticed the child was different. After a day of care, the child had not woken up. She had worried she could not care for her well, but Zhu Yanyi took the child away.

Ge Yanyan thought Zhu Yanyi took the child because she was sick, so she did not stop her.

Zhu Yanyi brought the child back to her room. After confirming no one was outside, she entered the Ruyi Space.

There were still some old cradles and items from when Yan Xibei was a baby. Zhu Yanyi placed the child in a cradle and continued making medicine and refining pills. As long as the child was by her side, it was fine.

However, with a child now, she needed to think carefully before going out to rob people again.

"I wonder when you will wake up," Zhu Yanyi sighed, looking at the child.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw the child’s eyelashes twitch. She slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she smiled and reached out her hands, wanting to be held.

Zhu Yanyi was melted by her smile. She had no resistance and picked her up. "You are so heavy, yet so soft and cute. From now on, your nickname will be Mengbao."

Mengbao blinked her watery eyes and smiled at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "I am your mother. This is your father." Zhu Yanyi took out a photo of Yan Aohan and showed it to Mengbao.

"Remember, you are the child of your father and me. Your full name will be Yan Xizhong. You have an older brother in the mortal realm, named Yan Xibei. When there is a chance, Mother will take you to see your brother. Now, you are my son." Zhu Yanyi kissed Mengbao after speaking.

Mengbao blinked her cute eyes and gave a toothless grin. Zhu Yanyi’s heart softened even more.

"Master, Master." Flame appeared at this moment.

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Flame. "Flame, do you want to go out and see the sky?"

"Is it fun outside?" Flame could not yet take human form, but it could speak clearly. This was because it had been nurtured by the space for a long time, and since Zhu Yanyi had ascended, it naturally benefited too.

"The situation in the Immortal Realm is similar to the mortal realm. The spiritual and immortal energy outside is very abundant. You can go out, and you don’t need to worry about not being able to return," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Then I want to go out," Flame said seriously. It then looked at Mengbao. "Is this Master’s doll?"

"Yes, my second child, Yan Xizhong, nickname Mengbao," Zhu Yanyi introduced with a smile. She then turned Mengbao to face Flame. "Mengbao, this is Sister Flame. Come, smile and say hello."

Mengbao didn’t know much else, but he knew how to smile. He smiled at Flame. Flame’s eyes almost popped out red hearts. "What a cute doll! Master, I will take care of Mengbao from now on."

Zhu Yanyi thought about it. Although Mengbao would not be in danger at the Suiyuan Pharmacy, having Flame care for her was better. She said, "Mengbao will live with me for now. In a few days, I will send her to the Underworld to grow up there."

Flame looked at Mengbao and nodded. "Going to the Underworld is good. The Underworld is safe." Flame had been to the Underworld and naturally knew the status of Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan there.

Zhu Yanyi replied, "You think the Underworld is safe? Aren’t you afraid of harming Mengbao?"

"No. Mengbao’s constitution is different from ordinary humans. It is safe for him in the Underworld. No one will disturb him," Flame said seriously. "Actually, Mengbao can also live in this space." Flame thought for a moment, then seemed to have a good idea. "Master, how about Flame stays here to care for Mengbao first? When Mengbao is older and goes to the Underworld, Flame will go out then."

Zhu Yanyi considered this possibility. For now, she used a bottle to feed Mengbao some spiritual liquid.

Being born with a spiritual body, drinking spiritual liquid from a young age would make his constitution even better. It would be fine to send him to the Underworld after he turned one year old.

Zhu Yanyi thought about it. Her parents were in the Underworld, and the elders were there too. She could leave the child with her parents to raise, with Old Black and others secretly watching over her. There would be no problems. Besides, she had absolute control over the Underworld, so she did not worry about Mengbao being in danger there. For now, keeping Mengbao in the space was also a good idea.

"In that case, I will keep Mengbao in the space for now. Flame, take good care of Mengbao," Zhu Yanyi decided. At least, with Mengbao in the space, no one would discover her, and she could continue her work as a robber.

"Great, great! Master, rest assured, I will take good care of Mengbao," Flame was extremely happy.

Zhu Yanyi played with Mengbao for a while. After Mengbao drank the spiritual liquid and fell asleep again, Zhu Yanyi entrusted her to Flame and left the space.

After leaving the space and walking out of the house, Ge Yanyan was processing ginseng. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she asked curiously, "Where is that child?"

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "The child is fine. She is in a very safe place. It is inconvenient for her to be here."

"You sent the child away?" Ge Yanyan thought Zhu Yanyi had sent the child away.

"Sent away? Sort of." Zhu Yanyi did not want to tell anyone that Mengbao was born with a spiritual body. Even though Ge Yanyan was now part of the Suiyuan Pharmacy, Zhu Yanyi would not say it. After all, they had not sworn allegiance to her.

Swearing allegiance between people also required a contract and oath. Although the four members of the Leng family lived in the Suiyuan Pharmacy, they had not sworn allegiance.

The reason Zhu Yanyi let them stay was because she had robbed them, so she needed to settle the karma. Regardless of the result, Zhu Yanyi had to settle the karma.

Cultivators feared undefined karma the most. Zhu Yanyi’s actions were naturally unexpected to others.

If the Leng family stayed here without swearing allegiance, Zhu Yanyi would eventually make them leave. For this reason, she did not plan to let them know some things. As for her identity as the robber Yipianyun, Zhu Yanyi did not mind them knowing.

She was only a robber for a short time, not forever. So, she could use this to test them. Of course, if they did not betray her, she did not mind them knowing a little about her. But if betrayal occurred, she could solve it with a handful of medicine.
