Shortly after Xiu Xiang ran out of the room, my wives came back to collect me. The looks on their faces were quite mixed, confusion and surprise were only beaten out by wonder and awe.
"Husband, my mother, she asked for you to come and see my new little… sister." Xiu Che said.
"Then I will come." I said, standing up to go with them.
"Father Yang, Mother Bai and Mother Feng should come as well." Xiu Che added. "Mother has thought of the name but doesn't wish to speak it until you are present." She added, to highlight the importance of Ah Tao's new daughter's name.
"I see, perhaps this will be a good thing. I wonder what name the child will have?" Yang Kai said, as if he didn't know. But little did everyone else know that he definitely already had an idea.
Brother Xiu Liang came as well. It didn't take long to arrive in the room. Where Ah Tao was laying down and holding her baby. Xiu Xiang who had rushed over earlier was already smiling ear to ear.
"It's good you're all here. I wanted her name to be heard by everyone. Her name will be Ding Ai. Xiu Ding Ai. It fits her perfectly, don't you think so?" Ah Tao smiled.
"It's an excellent name. And exemplifies the nature of family. To be loving. Junior Sister has chosen an excellent name." Yang Kai said, with a light chuckle.
I stood there and nodded in agreement with the name. It was quite good. The Xiu Family was quite loving by their own nature. So naming their daughter Xiu Ding Ai, it was quite good. "Mother Ah Tao, has granted a name that the daughter will surely grow up to respect and honor." I finally commented.
"Thank you, come closer and see her. Isn't she just cute and adorable?" Ah Tao said, asking my family to come closer.
Huo Lei and Xiu Che had already seen Xiu Ding Ai before. "Mother, I was here before. And helped. So why is it that I feel different this time?" Xiu Che asked, as a warm sensation welled up to the surface.
"I'm curious about this too. It feels… much like the…" Huo Lei started and then turned to look at me. She got a whole new view of me from this. "Oh. It's because Husband is here now. Husband, hurry and get stronger." She added, and then turned back to look at the baby again.
"That's right, Husband. You need to get stronger so we can go and finally greet mothers. I want us to be like this." Xiu Che further said.
"Little Leiji, I think you should come clean now. Before it becomes an even greater problem." Bai Yi said.
"Mother Bai is right. But when you say it like that it makes it seem like I hid the information." I said with a sigh. "Huo Lei, Xiu Che, you know that it isn't just as simple as greeting my mothers already. This is what Mother Bai is referring to. We must wait until the time at which my father has an adult child. That is one, other than myself. Since I am not technically a legitimate child. It's one of the reasons why I work so hard to prove myself." I explained.
"Oh that? We already knew. Mother Bai, you don't have to worry. The longer we wait the higher the number goes up." Xiu Che said, reassuring Bai Yi about that.
"This may be a complicated situation but it does not make much of a difference. I know my husband well, he wouldn't want to stop even if he could. This wait is harder on him than it is on my Sister and I." Huo Lei said, beating the air gently. One of the tips of her tails landed in Xiu Ding Ai's temporarily open hand. "Oh, my tail." Huo Lei said, a little surprised.
"Hold on a moment?" Feng Ying said, and inspected Xiu Ding Ai's condition. "It seems the blessing Little Leiji gave your family was a bit powerful. She was blessed with the Heavenly Power Divine Body. Xiu Ding Ai is going to be really strong in the future. On top of this your next child will also be blessed with another Divine Body. This has happened in records across the 3000 Worlds. While rare it is not unheard of. Congratulations." She added.
"Is it like the Tyrant Strength Divine Body?" Yang Kai asked.
"We should take this discussion elsewhere to not disturb little Xiu Ding Ai. And we don't want to get in the way of feeding time." I said interjecting, quickly to avoid Feng Ying from screaming in shock.
"Ah yes. And we should let Ah Tao rest a bit. I imagine it was a difficult time. She deserves that rest." Yang Kai said, hopping onto the out I gave him.
"Good, but Leiji, could you stay a bit?" Ah Tao asked, clearly wanting to ask me something important. That or she just wanted to talk to me about something.
"Of course. If mother Ah Tao needs something I will listen. Do you mind if Huo Lei and Xiu Che stay as well?" I asked.
"I'd like that. Everyone else should leave. And Dear Husband, please go with Senior Brother Yang to find out more about the Divine Body our little Xiu Ding Ai has been blessed with." Ah Tao answered.
"Alright, don't go too hard on the young man." Xiu Xiang said, before receiving a glare that got him moving.
"Oh, and Sister Huo Dai, you should be here for this as well." Ah Tao said.
"So that's what we're doing." Ah Tao said, realizing something I didn't know.
After everyone else left it was just five of us and the baby. Ah Tao looked down and smiled. Then she looked back up at both of my wives. "I hope the day you too can feel this comes sooner than later. But I am curious, Leiji, how did you get on such great terms with your father? Please don't leave anything out." Ah Tao said, in a way that basically solidified the path of this conversation.
