"You brat, why are you here?" Zhu Ziyang's appearance immediately attracted the attention of several people in the pavilion. The beautiful middle-aged woman immediately showed an angry expression, walked towards him quickly, and cursed.
"Mom, I just came out of seclusion." Zhu Ziyang could only smile apologetically, and while enduring the moderate slap from Liang Ying, he asked, "Speaking of which, Mom, why are you here? Where is my dad?"
"Hmph! Brat, you are so good." Although Liang Ying blamed Zhu Ziyang, the smile on her face showed her inner joy. She said, "If Nannan hadn't told us, how long would you have planned to hide it from me and your father?"
"If I say, I just found out about it, would you believe it?" Zhu Ziyang could only smile bitterly.
"I believe it." Liang Ying nodded and said, "Forget it, I won't delay you in taking care of the child. However, mom wants to remind you, Nannan, you have to make good compensation to me. If you let such a good girl down, I can't spare you!"
"Oh, Mom, how could your son be such a person!" Zhu Ziyang suddenly felt innocent after hearing his mother's words and said.
"Hmph! Who knows." Liang Ying snorted, staggered and walked outside, muttering as he walked, "I wonder who this kid is following? It's definitely not me..."
Zhu Ziyang listened to Liang Ying's muttering, with a wry smile on his face, and then turned around and walked towards the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan had already stood up. In addition to longing and joy, Jiang Nannan's pretty face also had a lot of resentment. His bright eyes had a look that was half-smiling, which made Zhu Ziyang hesitated for a while, but Zhang Lexuan's expression was very simple, mixed with longing and joy, and a hint of fear. After all, in a sense, she gave birth to these two children without telling Zhu Ziyang.
"Sister Lexuan, thank you for your hard work!" However, Zhu Ziyang's first words dispelled Zhang Lexuan's worries, causing a smile and a look of happiness to appear on her pretty face. Zhu Ziyang did not ignore Jiang Nannan. After expressing his attitude to Zhang Lexuan, he said to Jiang Nannan, "Nannan, thank you!"
"Brother, you are finally out of seclusion," Jiang Nannan naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Ziyang's words, but she did not follow Zhu Ziyang's words, but said with a smile, "If you don't come out of seclusion, the babies will be able to speak."
"Uh hahaha, right?" Zhu Ziyang heard this and said with a silly smile, "Then this doesn't mean that I haven't missed many things!"
"Hey!" Jiang Nannan rolled his eyes at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest first so I won't disturb your family reunion."
After saying that, the silver light flashed, and Jiang Nannan disappeared from the pavilion in an instant, leaving only Zhu Ziyang with a wry smile, Zhang Lexuan with an apologetic face, and oh, by the way, there were two little guys sleeping soundly.
"This girl!" Why couldn't Zhu Ziyang hear the complaints and jealousy in Jiang Nannan's words? He shook his head helplessly, then walked forward, sat next to Zhang Lexuan, and held her beautiful hand.
Zhang Lexuan smiled and leaned into Zhu Ziyang's arms, enjoying the long-lost relaxation and sense of security.
"Sister Lexuan." Zhu Ziyang shouted softly.
"Huh?" Zhang Lexuan closed his eyes and responded.
"They..." Zhu Ziyang looked at the two little guys on the crib. They were dressed exactly the same and had the same sleeping faces. He felt an unnatural feeling of love and pampering in his heart. An unprecedented sense of responsibility fell on him. This is what it feels like to be a father. It's so wonderful.
"The one on the left is my brother, and the one on the right is my sister!" Zhang Lexuan heard Zhu Ziyang mention the child, and then he opened his eyes, with a doting look in his beautiful eyes, and said to Zhu Ziyang.
"Oh, that's great!" Zhu Ziyang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. Originally, Zhang Lexuan gave birth to twins for him, which was enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect that they turned out to be a pair of twins. This, this, how should I put it, he already had a son and a daughter at the age of twenty-two, and he had accomplished something that his father had not been able to do for forty or fifty years. Is this considered to be better than his predecessor?
"My brother is very quiet, but my sister is really troublesome. She will definitely be a willful girl when she grows up!" Zhang Lexuan had a touch of pride on his face, telling Zhu Ziyang about the two children's temperaments.
"What's wrong with being willful? What's wrong with my daughter, Zhu Ziyang, being a bit more willful?" Zhu Ziyang has become very accustomed to his identity and consciously safeguarded his future little cotton-padded jacket, he said.
"It's over. This child will definitely be spoiled by you in the future." Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but cover his forehead and said with some helplessness.
"Hehe, it's okay." Zhu Ziyang chuckled, "By the way, Sister Lexuan, have the babies been named yet?"
"No." Zhang Lexuan shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted my father to take it, but my father refused. He said that you have to do this kind of thing yourself. However, mother gave the babies nicknames. The elder brother is named Huanghuang, and the younger sister is named Jingjing."
"Understood." Zhu Ziyang nodded, then a teasing look appeared on his face, and he said, "Sister Lexuan, mom and dad shouted smoothly!"
"Oops!" Zhang Lexuan showed rare shyness when he heard Zhu Ziyang's teasing, and said softly, "They have already given birth to grandchildren. Isn't it normal to call them mom and dad? You, on the other hand, make fun of others!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Seeing this, Zhu Ziyang decisively admitted his mistake, hugged Zhang Lexuan tightly, and said, "What are you going to name the babies?"
——
Zhu Ziyang stayed with Mingdu for nearly two months. During these two months, he did nothing else except take care of the children. In a short period of time, the two little guys accepted him.
The names of the two little guys have been decided. The elder brother is named Zhu Yuhuang, who is as bright and shining as the sun. If nothing goes wrong, this child will inherit his mother's position in the future and become the master of the empire. The younger sister is named Zhu Yuyue. She will shine on the little moon of Jingjing. She will be the most dazzling little princess on the Douluo Continent.
Of course, Zhu Ziyang did some serious business while taking care of the children. He still had five Origin Core Golden Pills on him. He took out one, turned it into two equal parts of liquid medicine, and gave them to Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan respectively.
In fact, before getting Zhu Ziyang's Origin Core Golden Pill medicine, Zhang Lexuan's Soul Power had already reached level 97. The reason for such an exaggerated improvement is naturally because she completed Eight Lunar Trials received the final reward. In addition to the three-level upgrade of Soul Power, the age of all Soul Ring was also increased by 10,000 years, making her Soul Ring Configuration reach an astonishing five black and four red levels.
Due to Zhang Lexuan's special status, she cannot directly retreat to fully absorb the Origin Core Golden Pill liquid. Therefore, she can only absorb a little bit every day. At this rate, Zhang Lexuan will be able to absorb all the Origin Core Golden Pill liquid in up to one year. By then, her Soul Power should be able to reach the level of 99-level Limit Douluo.
Unlike Zhang Lexuan, Jiang Nannan officially reached the level of Titled Douluo after completing Eighth Trial. After absorbing Ninth Soul Ring, her cultivation level reached level 92. Just as Zhu Ziyang thought, Jiang Nannan's Ninth Trial content also required her to upgrade her cultivation level to level 99.
Therefore, after getting the Origin Core Golden Pill medicine, Jiang Nannan immediately went into seclusion in the Mingdu palace and has not yet come out. This is actually normal. After all, Zhu Ziyang knows the power of Origin Core Golden Pill very well. According to his estimation, it will take Jiang Nannan up to half a year to be released from seclusion. By then, her cultivation level should be able to reach level 96 or 97.
Two months later, Zhu Ziyang left Mingdu.
Although he was very reluctant, he still had many things to do, and Zhang Lexuan also had many things to do. It was not the time for a happy reunion yet, so he could only leave helplessly amid Liang Ying's blame.
Before leaving, Zhu Ziyang specially left five bottles of diluted Origin Core Golden Pill medicine for Liang Ying. This medicine was Zhu Ziyang turning one Origin Core Golden Pill into medicine. After adding water to dilute it, although the potency of the medicine has weakened a lot, it can be absorbed by people with low cultivation level. Unlike Origin Core Golden Pill or Origin Core Golden Pill medicine, even Super Douluo has to bear the risk of body explosion.
The purpose of Zhu Ziyang leaving five bottles of Origin Core Golden Pill medicine to Liang Ying was simple. She, Zhu Changhe and Zhu Ziguang each had one bottle, and the remaining two bottles were left to the couple. Zhu Ziyang doesn't even have to guess, one bottle will definitely be given to Hong Zhen by Zhu Changhe.
After leaving Mingdu, Zhu Ziyang returned directly to the Shrek Academy. However, when he arrived at Shrek City, he did not choose to return to the academy. Instead, he turned north and flew into Star Dou Great Forest.
It's been more than a year, so I have to check with Di Tian to see if their cooperation is still working.
