A whale jelly?
Bibi Dong looked at the golden-yellow, gel-like substance in Qian Renjue's hand, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Xiao Jue, what does this thing have to do with your ability to absorb a thousand-year soul ring?"
"Of course it's related!"
Qian Renjue happily introduced it.
"The main function of this whale jelly is to improve a soul master's physical condition and thus obtain soul rings of higher ages."
"There's actually such a thing."
Bibi Dong took the whale resin handed to her by Qian Renjue.
It felt very delicate, although solid, it gave a soft sensation.
Immediately, Bibi Dong realized the key.
The appearance of this whale jelly should have been after Qian Renxue was born.
With the precedent of the [Phantom Sugar Candy], Bibi Dong had no doubt about the effectiveness of the whale jelly.
She also had her guesses about how Qian Xunji and others discovered it.
Feeling reassured, she gently probed, "Xiao Jue, how did you suddenly discover this thing?"
"It was accidentally found in a book."
Qian Renjue replied with a smile.
He wasn't lying. Initially, he didn't know that the [Worn-out Ancient Book] provided by the system recorded the whale jelly.
"I see."
Bibi Dong understood and gently stroked Qian Renjue's face, her eyes reflecting a different emotion.
Just like with Qian Renxue, she didn't think too much or say much.
"Alright, put the stuff away."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but rub Qian Renjue's little belly, which felt exceptionally good.
"Ah ha."
The sudden tickling made Qian Renjue curl up and laugh out loud.
He gently pushed Bibi Dong's soft hand away.
Smiling, he boasted, "This piece of whale resin is for mom, and Jue still have ten thousand years' worth."
Looking at Qian Renjue's somewhat smug expression, Bibi Dong's previously stern eyes softened with a hint of a smile.
She didn't refuse but instead looked at Qian Renjue with interest.
She wanted to capture and engrave all the cute expressions that had never appeared on his little face in her memory.
With a slight smile and gentle voice, she asked, "Really? Then how should it be used?"
"It just needs to be melted with fire and can be taken directly."
Qian Renjue smiled, lifting his small head, and then his face showed a bit of blush.
As if fearing being overheard, he lowered his voice.
He reminded, "But mom needs to be careful, don't take too much at once; it also has an aphrodisiac effect."
"Aphrodisiac?!"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened in surprise, and her expression changed slightly.
No wonder Qian Renjue suddenly seemed bashful.
"Shh! Mom, don't be so loud, else sister will hit my head."
Seeing Bibi Dong's surprised reaction, Qian Renjue quickly raised his hand to her lips.
His face showed a bit of vigilance and slight shyness about such matters.
Qian Renjue still had only a partial understanding of these things.
In the past life, there was no time to understand them in detail, and now there was no opportunity to learn more.
Usually, the siblings were inseparable.
If he acted out of line, it would provoke Qian Renxue's gentle little fists.
Feeling the warmth of her palm near his lips, Bibi Dong's smile deepened.
She gently held and lowered the small hand from her lips.
"Alright, mom won't say anything more."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue sighed in relief.
He gently turned to look at Qian Renxue, meeting her smiling face and teasing gaze.
Qian Renjue's little face turned slightly red.
Avoiding eye contact, he turned back around.
He hugged Bibi Dong's delicate body and buried his head in her plump embrace.
It seemed like both avoidance and grievance.
"Pfft"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, the mother and daughter, both couldn't help but laugh simultaneously.
The previous expressions and attitudes pierced straight into the heart.
Their smiles made the surrounding lotus flowers pale in comparison.
Hearing the mother and daughter's laughter, Qian Renjue squeezed further into Bibi Dong's arms, feeling a bit withdrawn.
As the laughter gradually subsided, the mother and daughter looked at each other, their smiles fading away.
Their gazes lingered on each other's faces for a moment before both looked away.
At the moment they could no longer see each other, the curve of their lips connected them.
Qian Renxue looked back at the book, her pretty face beaming with joy.
It was the first time she saw Bibi Dong smile so happily and warmly.
Bibi Dong looked down, comforting and soothing Qian Renjue.
Her beautiful face was full of tenderness.
At this moment, all negative emotions were completely drowned by warmth.
She also saw Qian Renxue's brilliant smile for the first time.
An inexplicable joy filled her heart.
Her gentle voice, like heavenly music, brushed past her ear with the warm breeze.
"Alright, Jue."
Bibi Dong stroked Qian Renjue's back, her voice still carrying the afterglow of laughter.
"Jue, aren't you going to read? Mom will accompany you."
"Then mom mustn't laugh at me."
Qian Renjue buried his head in the soft spot, speaking with a muffled voice.
His ears still had a slight blush.
"Okay."
Bibi Dong didn't explain but couldn't help but smile faintly.
With Bibi Dong's response, Qian Renjue finally lifted his head, his face flushed and breathing a bit rapid.
He almost couldn't breathe properly.
"Xiao Jue, let's read."
Bibi Dong, holding back her laughter, turned around with Qian Renjue in her arms.
Then she pursed her red lips and smiled gently.
Qian Renjue glanced at Qian Renxue, seeing she wasn't laughing at him anymore.
He then focused on the book to absorb more knowledge.
Qian Renjue read the book while leaning on a very soft neck pillow.
It felt warmer and more comfortable than the sofa, and he squinted his eyes, occasionally nodding off.
Bibi Dong's beautiful cheeks had a light blush.
While turning the pages, she placed her hand on Qian Renjue's belly, gently rubbing it.
Qian Renxue stretched out her legs and leaned against a pillar.
Looking at the book in her hands, her pretty face was filled with content, occasionally taking out snacks and eating them.
As time passed, it was noon, and the scorching sun outside couldn't compete with the warmth inside the pavilion.
The three of them were immersed in their activities and had forgotten the time.
Until Qian Renjue's stomach protested, breaking the tranquility.
Gurgle—gurgle—
Hungry
Qian Renjue covered his belly with Bibi Dong's hand.
He looked up at Bibi Dong with a slightly flushed face.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Mom heard."
Bibi Dong lightly rubbed Qian Renjue's chubby face, looking around thoughtfully.
She couldn't help but frown.
It seemed there were no snacks or treats around.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue, then looked up at the sky.
She then put down her legs and stood up.
After starting training, the siblings had the habit of eating snacks.
Today, to accommodate Bibi Dong's mood, they hadn't brought any out.
This made Qian Renxue hungry a bit earlier than usual.
"Sister."
Qian Renxue closed the book, came to Qian Renjue's side, extended her little hand, and said softly:
"Jue, let's go. It's time for lunch."
Qian Renxue hesitated and looked up at Bibi Dong.
"Go ahead, filling your stomach is important."
Bibi Dong once again rubbed the little belly, gently putting Qian Renjue down.
"Mom, Jue'll go back first."
Qian Renjue waved his hand and got Bibi Dong's response.
He then turned and held Qian Renxue's little hand.
They walked towards the outside.
Just as they stepped out of the pavilion, Qian Renjue suddenly remembered something.
He gently pulled Qian Renxue.
Looking back at Bibi Dong who was seeing them off.
With anticipation, he reminded, "Mom, we made a promise."
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue turned back, looking puzzled.
Bibi Dong was slightly stunned, her face showing a hint of difficulty.
Then she made a decisive move.
Looking at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression, Bibi Dong spoke hesitantly.
"Come here."
"?"
Qian Renxue frowned, confused.
"Sister, quickly come over, quickly!"
Qian Renjue, very excited, kept urging.
Qian Renxue was even more puzzled.
After hesitating for a moment, she came in front of Bibi Dong, looking up at her with confusion.
Bibi Dong looked at the constantly encouraging Qian Renjue beside her.
She turned her gaze to Qian Renxue.
In her puzzled gaze, Bibi Dong bent down and gently caressed her daughter's porcelain face.
Chu!
A cool and gentle touch landed on the cheek.
Qian Renxue's large, round, purple eyes trembled.
She was in a daze.
As if her mind had crashed, she instantly lost the ability to think.
Bibi Dong, her face flushed, pulled back her red lips.
Her vermilion lips parted slightly.
Her voice unconsciously became soft and gentle.
"Xiao Xue, happy birthday!"
