Infant of Immense Strength

Dusk.

The Rays of the Setting Sun cast slender shadows across the wooden floor of the library through the stained-glass windows.

"Lady Danielle, are you sure you want to give me this treasure?"

Xian looked at the Blue Crystal in the wooden box in his hand, which was crystal clear and exuded a cold chill, a hint of surprise flashed in his expression.

Based on the knowledge he had gained from reading these days, he could naturally judge that this was a Magic Crystal, and it was very likely a high-quality Magic Crystal. The wisps of cold air leaking out were undoubtedly the best proof.

"For Your Highness, this is not a treasure. It is just a blessing my mother gave me," Danielle said with a slight smile.

"I know Your Highness is learning magic, and this Magic Crystal should help you go further on the path of magic. Please accept it!"

Hearing this, Xian fell into deep thought.

He felt the abundant Magic Power in the Blue Magic Crystal, and then looked at Danielle's expectant pretty face, and finally decided to accept it.

After all, his top priority now was to improve his strength, and this Magic Crystal would undoubtedly greatly speed up his advancement to Magician.

"Lady Danielle, is there anything I can do for you?" Xian hesitated for a moment and said calmly.

He was still clear about the exchange of favors between people.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are too polite. It is already my honor that you can accept my gift. How can I expect your reward?"

Danielle initially did not accept.

It was not until after some back-and-forth that she finally revealed her true intentions.

"Your Highness, my little Hayden is more than two months old. I heard that if infants are watched by noble people, they can grow up healthy and happy, so I think..." Danielle looked at Xian's face cautiously.

"If it is convenient for Your Highness, could you take a look at my little Hayden?"

"...Let's go now," Xian said lightly.

He thought it was something tricky, but it turned out to be just looking at a child.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Danielle's pretty face, and she bowed deeply.

Nursery.

Xian tiptoed to the side of the crib, for fear of disturbing the little guy sleeping inside.

He looked inside and saw a small baby curled up in white swaddling clothes under the soft candlelight, the light blue lanugo glowing with a warm luster in the dim yellow light.

His little face was chubby, and his pink lips were slightly pouted.

"Much better looking than I imagined." Xian was a little surprised. He knew that most babies would be a little ugly because they had just developed, but the baby in front of him already looked very cute.

"Your Highness..."

Danielle next to him was about to speak, but was stopped by Xian's gesture of silence, so she obediently closed her mouth.

At this moment, as if sensing the arrival of someone, the baby suddenly moved, and the tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of Clarity Purple Eyes, like flawless amethysts.

This scene immediately made Danielle's heart rise to her throat, and her hands were unconsciously twisted tightly together.

Because infants cry most often, it usually takes her a long time to calm them down.

But now, the person standing in front of the crib is Your Highness.

Little Hayden, you must not cry, seize the opportunity your mother has brought you, and leave a good impression on Your Highness!

Although she didn't speak, Danielle kept shouting to her child in her heart.

The awakened little Hayden blinked, his gaze fell on Xian, and suddenly he grinned, revealing a toothless smile.

"Eee-yah!" Little Hayden made a soft sound, waving his chubby little hands in the air.

This adorable scene of the human infant instantly melted Xian's heart, and he couldn't help but extend a finger and gently poke little Hayden's face.

"Eee-yah!"

Seemingly thinking that Xian was playing with him, little Hayden grabbed Xian's finger and giggled.

Great job, Hayden! Danielle praised her child wildly in her heart, she felt that if a normal infant's performance was a score of ten, then her little Hayden was at least a hundred!

This wasn't just grabbing Your Highness's finger, it was clearly grabbing the future! After a moment, Xian gently withdrew his finger and left the nursery with Danielle.

"What a lovely child." Xian smiled gently.

This time it wasn't a lie, but what he really thought.

He originally didn't like children, but such a well-behaved, cute, non-crying, non-fussing, and smiling infant, any normal person would like him! "He rarely gets so close to strangers, it seems he must really like Your Highness." Danielle chuckled.

"By the way, little Hayden's strength..."

Xian suddenly remembered that when his finger was grabbed just now, although it was very slight, he could indeed feel a little pain.

This strength should be normal for adults, but if it was for an infant who was just over two months old, it would be a bit too terrifying. "Little Hayden has even crushed the wood on his crib before, the nannies don't dare to feed him, he only calms down when I feed him."

Speaking of this, a gentle smile flashed in Danielle's eyes.

"Later, after being appraised, little Hayden should have been born with the Gift of Immense Strength."

Gift... Xian recalled that he seemed to have seen in a book before that there were very few people in this world who, in addition to the Status Blessing and Profession Blessing, also possessed some special ability.

This ability is known as the Divine Gift, and it can bring people all kinds of wonderful and incredible abilities.

And the Gift of Immense Strength is undoubtedly one of the Divine Gifts.

"It seems that little Hayden's future will definitely be extraordinary!" Xian exclaimed.

His strength as an infant is comparable to that of an adult, so he really can't imagine his strength when he grows up.

"Hehe, little Hayden's future will indeed be extraordinary, but not because of his Gift, but because..." A sly look flashed in Danielle's eyes.

"Because of Your Highness's golden words!"

"I believe that with Your Highness's words, my child will definitely grow up healthily and achieve a career kneeling under your throne in the future."

Danielle bent down and bowed deeply.

Night, the Bright Moon hangs high.

Top of the Clock Tower.

"That woman is really generous!"

Ilith looked at the Blue Magic Crystal emitting waves of cold air in the wooden box and sighed.

"This Magic Crystal is worth at least three Gold Sols!"

"That much?" Xian was also surprised when he heard the price.

After all, the entire Fruit Basket Village's tax revenue for a year is only twenty-one Silver Sols, which is roughly equivalent to half a Gold Sol.

Fruit Basket Village should have hundreds of people, and six years of labor for hundreds of people is only enough to exchange for this one Magic Crystal. Xian deeply felt the terrifying consumption gap between the Noble class and the commoner class in this world.
