"Mommy, that auntie just now is really pretty," Hai Xuanhao said to Xi Daiyu.
Xi Daiyu was a little jealous and laughed. "Then is Mommy or Auntie prettier?"
Hai Xuanhao replied quickly, "You!!."
Hai Long smiled. "You are indeed my Son little Xuanhao, You are indeed my son!!" Hai Long said Proudly.
"En."
The museum trip was uneventful, at least to Hai Xuanhao. His actual age wasn't even seven years old, so he wasn't very interested in historical relics in the museum.
After a day of sightseeing, they returned to the hotel. The family of three were all Spirit Masters, so they didn't find it too tiring.
"Xuanhao, progress later," Xi Daiyu said as he pulled Hai Xuanhao to the bathroom in case he couldn't control the water elements and wet the room.
"En." Hai Xuanhao released Spirit-Control on his left hand and guided it to adhere to his palm and little arm; that feeling of intimacy with the water elements appeared once again immediately from air.
"Water ball!" Xi Daiyu exclaimed.
A blue light flickered on Xuanhao's hand, and a little ball of water was formed.
"Water arrow!"
The water ball split up and many water arrows surrounded Xuanhao's body, circling around him.
"Water vortex!"
The water arrows reformed into a soft water stream that was circling around and formed a vortex with a slight whistling sound. It was stronger than the first time he used it Against Wu Lixue
"Freeze!"
The water vortex turned into ice directly and even maintained the funnel shape.
And when Xi Daiyu saw this scene, she was somewhat dumbfounded.
Isn't this rate of freezing too fast? How strong must his affinity with the water elements be in order to do that?
Before she spoke, that ice vortex became a long ice gun under Xuanhao's control. He held it in his hand and waved it twice. "Mommy, isn't this the ice gun technique that you used before? Is the ice wall like this? I think I can detonate the ice wall too. They are so obedient."
Seeing her son directing the water elements with ease, She smiled bitterly.
The truth was that although she had already trained to the rank of Spirit Emperor, she had always been in the civil service and had never participated in many actual combats. Her greatest use of the ice element was to cool down during summer by freezing ice cream and things like that. She realized that she didn't have much to teach her son.
After playing for an entire hour, Hai Xuanhao wasn't tired at all, and he only went to bed after Xi Daiyu told him to stop.
"Seems like your son is really becoming a genius; what should we do?" Xi Daiyu leaned against Hai Long as she said helplessly.
Hai Long sighed softly. "I don't want him to be noticed either, but we can't suppress his growth, can we? Let's just go with it. But according to the speed of the growth of his spiritual power and his ability to control the water elements, we should find him a teacher or tuition class outside of the school. It should be beneficial for him to join some combat practices. Thankfully, his spirit power is still increasing quite slowly and would be overtaken by children his age very soon, so he wouldn't stand out too much."
"We'll go back and see how it goes. It's not easy looking for a tutor, and it isn't cheap either. Even though we can afford it, but our quality of life would have to decrease a little."
Hai Long smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these. The higher-ups are willing to let me join the interstellar exploration to look for the next planet for migration. I'm planning to give it a try. It is said that this planet that was just discovered is highly likely to have living creatures similar to the ancient spirit beasts of our mother planet. If this exploration is a success, I should be able to be promoted and get a raise when I return."
Xi Daiyu grabbed his arm nervously. "Will it be dangerous?"
Hai Long laughed. "You have nothing to worry about! The federation has been exploring the universe for thousands of years already and would have done ample preparation each time. Since when has it ever been dangerous? Furthermore, I'm only a support worker. I'm in charge of some data analysis, genetic comparison, and such—it won't be risky."
Xi daiyu asked, "How long do you have to go for?"
Hai long said, "This is what I wanted to tell you. I'm afraid I'll have to be away for at least three to six months. The duration is a little long, but interstellar long-distance communication technology has improved quite a bit, and we could talk at least once every week."
Xi Daiyu hugged her husband tightly. "I can't really bear to let you go. Why don't I transfer to another department? With my Spirit Emperor rank, if I try some main battle department, my salary should increase a lot."
"No way, I am a male chauvinist. How could I let my wife go out there to earn more money? You must consider my self-esteem," Hai long said with a smile.
Xi Daiyu buried her head in his embrace. "When are you leaving then?"
Hai Long said, "If you're agreeable, I will sign the application once we get back and wait for the news from the higher-ups. According to the information given to me earlier, it should be quite fast. The research exploration team is in need of researchers like me, and the allowance is quite high this time. The allowance is also given in advance; it should be enough for a home tutor."
"Let me think about it, and we'll talk again when we get home."
