Chapter 691 (Ye Shen)
The little guy was fair and tender, and after just crying, his face now… had a cold and ruthless expression.
That’s right! This expression was exactly like Ye Hua, the stern-faced Ye Hua.
Ye Yan looked at his younger brother’s expression and paused for a moment. “Wow, my little brother looks so cool.”
“Yeah, with this expression, he looks just like Dad with a stern face,” Donghuang Li exclaimed in surprise. She wondered if her brother’s personality was influenced by their dad.
Qing Ya was also a bit astonished. Donghuang Baizhi’s son… was really cold and resembled Ye Hua too much.
However, when Ye Hua glanced at his own son, the latter actually met his gaze…
Such audacity.
“Not bad, he truly is my son, full of aura,” Ye Hua said casually, then walked to the bedside and gently stroked Donghuang Baizhi’s cheek. “Baizhi, you’ve worked hard.”
Feeling the warmth of her husband’s hand, Donghuang Baizhi softly replied, “It’s not hard as long as you’re happy, Ye Hua.”
“Rest well, don’t bother with trivial matters in the Voidless Realm these days.”
“Mm,” Donghuang Baizhi nodded.
“Qing Ya, let me see our son.” Donghuang Baizhi sat up and rested against the headboard.
Qing Ya handed the baby to Donghuang Baizhi.
Looking at her son’s expression, Donghuang Baizhi was a bit surprised. The little guy had just come out, yet he exuded such strong aura, especially his eyes… they were so much like Ye Hua.
This made Donghuang Baizhi a little worried. She patted her son’s bottom, hoping to make him cry a little, but he didn’t react at all. He even gave her a puzzled look, as if he was asking, “Mom, why did you hit me?”
Well, Donghuang Baizhi was at a loss.
“Ye Hua, our son is really cool, just like you,” Donghuang Baizhi carefully placed the baby in Ye Hua’s hands.
Ye Hua looked at the little guy in his arms and chuckled softly. “Perfect! He’s great. He’s my third child, and his name is Ye Shen!”
Upon hearing his father’s choice of name, a slight smile curved on the little guy’s mouth. He was a mini version of Ye Hua, incredibly alike! [“Ye Shen” can be translated as “Leaf God” or “God of Leaves”. The character “Ye” means “leaf,” and “Shen” refers to “god” or “deity.” So, “Ye Shen” can be interpreted as a name that conveys a sense of a divine or mystical connection to leaves or nature.]
Ye Shen! The future God of Killing! A presence even more ferocious than his own father!
Hearing such a name, Donghuang Baizhi worriedly said, “Ye Hua, isn’t the name too grand?”
“What’s the problem? My child is meant to be greater than the heavens!” Ye Hua replied disdainfully.
The little guy in his arms seemed to understand and nodded, indicating that he liked the name.
“Brother-in-law, let me hold him quickly,” Qing Yutong couldn’t wait and hadn’t had a chance to hold him yet.
Ye Hua handed the baby to his sister-in-law, Qing Yutong, who looked at Ye Shen and playfully poked his chin. The little guy seemed to look disgusted.
This made Qing Yutong burst into laughter. “Wow, look at this little guy, throwing a tantrum, just like brother-in-law.”
“Is that so? Let me see,” Qing Ya also approached, finding it to be true. It was quite amusing.
Donghuang Baizhi lying on the bed felt helpless. Her daughter inherited her personality, while her son’s personality was exactly like Ye Hua…
To be honest…
Ye Hua’s personality wasn’t likable—arrogant, conceited, bad-tempered, highly patriarchal, and loved to show off. He basically embodied all the flaws of a man.
Donghuang Baizhi didn’t want her son to be like that. It seemed she would have to put in extra effort to change his personality in the future.
Donghuang Baizhi’s intention was good, but reality was different.
A week later, just like Ye Yan, Ye Shen began to walk…
Two weeks later, Ye Shen had already started practicing swordplay…
One month later… everyone was speechless.
The mornings in the Voidless Realm were peaceful. Donghuang Li and Ye Yan had already gotten up early, preparing for their daily cultivation.
However, in the garden, there was already a small figure, sweating profusely, with an emotionless face.
Ye Shen let out a sigh of relief, looking at his half-awake sister and brother, and said casually, “Sis, bro, you’re late.”
Donghuang Li rolled her eyes.
Ye Yan looked frustrated.
This wasn’t the first time. Ye Shen was always focused and serious in everything he did, never joking around… He seemed like a little adult.
“Xiao Shen, I’m your sister, you have to listen to me.”
“That’s right, Xiao Shen, I’m your brother, you should listen to me too.”
Ye Shen calmly said, “Okay, sister… brother… let’s start cultivating.”
Donghuang Li: “…”
Ye Yan: “…”
Donghuang Li and Ye Yan felt helpless with their younger brother. He spent all his time practicing, as if only cultivation could make him happy.
Donghuang Li whispered, “Mom and Dad haven’t woken up yet, let’s go out and play.”
“Great! Sister, let’s go out and play!” Ye Yan was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
Ye Shen said indifferently, “Mom and Dad will scold us.”
“It’s okay, sister will cover for you.” Donghuang Li patted her chest.
Ye Shen had a serious expression. “Thank you, sister and brother, but Xiao Shen doesn’t want to go out to play. You two enjoy yourselves.” [Xiao means little.]
“Xiao Shen, don’t be such a spoilsport. We’re children, we don’t need to be so serious.” Ye Yan tried to persuade him, but his younger brother was unmovable.
“Yeah, now I’m speaking as your real sister. Xiao Shen, put down your wooden sword and come out to play with us.” Donghuang Li took on the air of an older sister, as if saying that if he didn’t go out, they would break off their relationship.
Ye Shen struggled in his gaze. He knew that Donghuang Li was his real sister, but he truly didn’t like to play. He felt it was a waste of time, meaningless, and an idle pastime.
“Sorry, sister.” Ye Shen respectfully said.
Donghuang Li covered her forehead, feeling a bit angry. Her younger brother was too disobedient, even though he was her real brother.
“Yan’er, let’s go. Sister will take you to eat something delicious.” Donghuang Li pulled Ye Yan and walked outside.
Ye Yan turned back and called out, “Xiao Shen, are you really not coming?”
“Brother, take good care of sister.” Ye Shen looked apologetic.
Ye Yan had no choice either. He used to think that they could play together in the future, have fun together…
But he realized that Ye Shen simply didn’t mix with others.
Watching her sister and brother leave, Ye Shen raised his wooden sword, his gaze determined, and began to swing it.
Donghuang Baizhi stood not far away, witnessing everything that had just happened.
Her greatest worry had come true—her son didn’t fit in… What should she do?
Donghuang Li walked with Ye Yan on the path in the Voidless Realm.
“Sis, don’t be too angry. Xiao Shen is just like this, even Mom and Dad can’t do anything about it,” Ye Yan whispered to comfort her.
Donghuang Li pursed her lips. “Alright, sister isn’t angry, I just feel that Xiao Shen is working too hard, cultivating every day.”
“It’s fine, sister has Yan’er by her side.”
Donghuang Li pinched her brother’s cheek. “It’s still Yan’er and sister who are the closest.”
