"Let's call her... Qian Yin Xue. What do you think?"
After considering it for a moment, Qian Yunxiao came up with that name.
He thought it was quite good—one character taken from each parent's name.
"Mm."
Ah Yin's face was still somewhat pale.
She was a soul beast, so she was indeed physically stronger than ordinary human women.
But the child she had given birth to was no ordinary human baby either.
It had consumed a great deal of Ah Yin's Soul Power and stamina.
At that moment, a fragrance of Blue Silver Grass suddenly drifted through Skywater City.
It was because Ah Yin could no longer conceal her aura while giving birth.
Any soul master at the Soul Douluo level passing by would have been able to sense the aura of Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Ah Yin certainly knew that.
But with Qian Yunxiao there, she was not afraid in the slightest.
Ah Yin was also very satisfied with the name Qian Yunxiao had given their daughter.
He had included her name as well—how could Ah Yin not be pleased? Qian Yunxiao had originally planned to personally feed his beloved wife some porridge to help her recover her strength.
However, Qing Wu was extremely enthusiastic about it. Besides, he needed to care for the newly born Qian Yin Xue, so he let Qing Wu handle it.
"Two people is good too. That way, at night, one person can look after our daughter while the other takes care of herself, then they can switch every half hour. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Before his daughter was two or three years old, Qian Yunxiao definitely would not let servants help care for her.
Babies were very fussy during their first few months and needed attentive, constant care.
Qian Yunxiao had more than enough people on his side.
During the day, Qian Yunxiao and Ah Yin could care for her personally, or Qing Wu could do it as well.
At night... Shui Youlan could look after the child after returning from work.
As for the middle of the night, they could simply take turns, with each person watching over her for half an hour.
That way, all four members of the family could be satisfied. It was perfect.
Without two people taking turns, what if the couple had only just gotten started when the child began fussing? Wouldn't that ruin their mood? Their family arrangement was now very complete and could prevent such problems from arising.
The family looked so harmonious that outsiders who did not know better might have thought Qing Wu, the Rabbit Spirit, had joined Qian Yunxiao's family as well.
Looking at the fuller curves of his beloved wife after giving birth, Qian Yunxiao felt a little thirsty.
Ah Yin had always produced plenty of milk, and the milk she produced after carrying a child was far more abundant than that of ordinary women.
She looked just like a dairy cow.
Ah Yin must have been very uncomfortable, right?
Tonight, he would have to help ease her burden properly.
Qian Yin Xue had also become familiar with the people around her.
No matter who accompanied her, Qian Yin Xue would be happy and would not fuss.
About three months after Qian Yin Xue was born, Qian Yunxiao brought his family of four, along with Qing Wu the Rabbit Spirit, to Skywater Academy.
After winning over Shui Youlan, the system's reward was certainly not as generous as Ah Yin's.
After all, Ah Yin had been the first woman to join Qian Yunxiao's family.
After Shui Youlan joined, she could indeed raise Qian Yunxiao's Soul Power by four levels.
Unfortunately, Qian Yunxiao had yet to obtain his ninth soul ring, so he temporarily stored that reward away.
Once he had his ninth soul ring, Qian Yunxiao could claim it and directly raise his cultivation to around level ninety-five.
Besides increasing his cultivation, the system had also rewarded Qian Yunxiao with an egg.
Inside the egg was an Ice Phoenix with four-star potential.
A family could not possibly be without a Family Guardian Beast.
This Ice Phoenix looked genuinely promising!
He only hoped that its strength would not be determined by age like the soul beasts of this world.
Otherwise, if it needed tens of thousands of years just to gain a little combat ability, by the time this Ice Phoenix matured, the Qian Family would no longer need such trash.
For the Ice Phoenix to hatch, it needed to absorb a great amount of ice-element energy.
So Qian Yunxiao placed the Ice Phoenix at Skywater Academy.
There were many ice-element soul masters here, so they could help with it.
By now, nearly half a year had passed.
According to Shui Youlan, Qian Yunxiao learned that the Ice Phoenix was about to break out of its shell, which was why he had brought the whole family to see it.
This Ice Phoenix egg was huge, over a meter tall.
How should she put it...? It was certainly far inferior to the phoenix eggs of myth, but it was good enough for a low-level plane like the Douluo Continent! Shui Mingzhu watched her daughter and Qian Yunxiao and sighed inwardly.
After work, her daughter would go straight to Qian Yunxiao's room to spend the night, barely ever returning home.
Did Shui Mingzhu not know what she went there to do? She was obviously working overtime! Qian Yunxiao had probably left her so dizzy and dazed that she had nearly forgotten her own mother.
But Qian Yunxiao was powerful, and Shui Mingzhu had no way to do anything about it.
It had now been nearly half a year since her daughter got together with Qian Yunxiao.
Seeing that their relationship was quite good, Shui Mingzhu was somewhat reassured.
"This really is such an adorable little fellow!"
After the Ice Phoenix broke out of its shell, the women and girls present could not help but marvel.
It was simply too beautiful! A phoenix was not born looking like a little chick.
It possessed considerable intelligence from the moment it was born.
Its feathers and everything else had already developed completely.
The slightest spread of its wings created an incomparably beautiful sight.
Standing amidst the crowd, this Ice Phoenix appeared especially proud.
"Come here!"
Qian Yunxiao thought it was rather inappropriate for it to put on such airs without his permission.
This Ice Phoenix did indeed look quite impressive, but it was not enough for it to act as it pleased in front of Qian Yunxiao.
Today, he would properly display his master's authority in front of these people.
What did it matter if the Ice Phoenix looked beautiful in the eyes of outsiders?
In the end, it was merely one of Qian Yunxiao's mounts, a guard beast of the Qian Family! Just like Ah Yin and Shui Youlan.
In the eyes of outsiders, those two were unquestionably peerless beauties, figures on the level of goddesses!
But what were they to Qian Yunxiao? They were goddesses too!
It was simply that he could command the two of them as he pleased, while others would be lucky just to glimpse them.
The Ice Phoenix could not possibly defy Qian Yunxiao's words.
It obediently came before Qian Yunxiao and awaited his instructions.
"From now on, you will be Xiao Xue's guardian spirit beast. Watch over your young mistress properly, understand?"
In Qian Yunxiao's mind, his mounts were Ah Yin, Qing Wu, who had yet to be captured, the Ice Empress, and the like.
As for the Snow Empress, forget it. After all, she was a humanoid Snow Spirit—how could he "ride" her?
This Ice Phoenix was currently not worthy of becoming his mount.
It should obediently accompany his daughter as she grew up!
Seeing Qian Yunxiao order around the "divine beast" in their eyes like this, the little girls from Skywater Academy were all furious.
Shouldn't such a beautiful soul beast be cherished and protected?
Yet they could not say anything.
Quite a few of those girls had only been able to attend Skywater Academy after Qian Yunxiao came to Skywater City and carried out reforms.
They had no time to thank Qian Yunxiao enough!
The Ice Phoenix naturally obeyed Qian Yunxiao's command absolutely. It obediently went over to Ah Yin, who was holding Qian Yunxiao, pressed its head against Ah Yin's leg, and looked exceptionally docile, leaving Ah Yin both amused and helpless.
"Ah Yin, didn't you want to visit the Extreme North? It's about time now. Do you want to go?"
