Little Baby Shi Hao! The Divine Efficacy of the Three Lights Divine Water!

"Good! How refreshing!"

The old clan leader Shi Yunfeng walked over, grinning from ear to ear.

"Since Ye Xuan says so, everyone, don't hold back. Go about your business—don't delay morning training!"

"Yes!"

The men acknowledged and scattered.

Morning training was an unbreakable rule in Stone Village.

In this perilous Great Wilderness, only a strong physique could ensure survival.

"Hah! Hah!"

On the training ground, shouts shook the sky.

A group of bare-chested men were lifting stone locks and rolling stone mill wheels.

The smallest stone lock weighed several hundred jin, yet in their hands, it felt as light as straw.

The children followed along, training too.

The older kids practiced punches, each strike fierce and gusty.

The younger ones were either tug-of-warring or moving slightly smaller stones.

Ye Xuan stood to the side, watching, but his gaze swept through the crowd.

Soon, he found his target.

In an inconspicuous corner.

A little dot, only two or three years old, was mixed in among a group of older children.

He was fair-skinned, delicate as carved jade, with long lashes and big, sparkling black eyes—like an exquisite porcelain doll.

Right now, he was crouched beside a blue stone, grunting as he strained.

That blue stone, though not huge, was definitely heavy for a three-year-old.

"Up!"

The little dot shouted in a milky voice.

The flesh on his small arms tightened slightly.

That blue stone was actually lifted by him, wobbling as he raised it over his head.

"Good!"

The adults nearby let out a burst of kind laughter and cheers.

"Little Dot's strength is growing!"

"He'll definitely be a great hunter in the future!"

Hearing the praise, the little dot's face flushed red. He dropped the stone to the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and revealed a simple, honest smile.

As if sensing the gaze on him.

The little dot turned his head and looked toward Ye Xuan.

He blinked his big eyes, and his nostrils twitched slightly.

So fragrant.

A scent he had never smelled before drifted into his nose on the wind.

It wasn't the fragrance of flowers, nor the aroma of meat.

That smell was special—one whiff made every pore in his body open up, and a warm current stirred wildly in his belly.

It was the Innate Spiritual Qi radiating from Ye Xuan.

To the perceptive little dot, Ye Xuan was like a walking human-shaped great medicine.

The little dot hesitated.

He glanced at the Pottery Jar placed on the ground beside him, then back at Ye Xuan.

Finally, he picked up the Pottery Jar, and with his short little legs, he pattered over.

"Big brother."

The little dot looked up, his voice soft and sticky.

"You smell so nice."

Ye Xuan looked down at this future Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Right now, he hadn't yet endured those trials of blood and fire; his eyes held only innocence and curiosity.

"You smell pretty nice too."

Ye Xuan smiled, crouched down, and reached out to pinch the little dot's cheek.

The feel was excellent—soft and squishy, with a faint milky scent.

"What's your name?" Though Ye Xuan already knew, he still wanted to ask.

"Everyone calls me Little Dot."

Little Dot shyly tried to dodge, but didn't manage to get away.

He pushed the pottery jar in his arms forward.

"Big brother, are you hungry?"

"Have a drink."

The pottery jar held white beast milk, still steaming, giving off a rich, milky fragrance.

This was Hundred Beast Milk that Shi Yunfeng had specially fetched from deep within the Great Wilderness to nourish Little Dot's body.

For this child, whose Supreme Bone had been dug out and whose body was frail, it was the best sustenance.

Ye Xuan looked at the jar of milk, caught between laughter and tears.

So this was the legendary "Desolate Heaven Emperor's favorite"?

"Thank you, Little Dot."

Ye Xuan shook his head.

"But big brother is already grown up—I don't drink milk anymore."

Little Dot froze.

He looked down at the pottery jar in his hands, then up at Ye Xuan's tall frame.

His little face instantly turned as red as a big apple.

"I... I'm grown up too."

Little Dot muttered quietly, feeling a bit embarrassed as he pulled the jar closer to his chest.

"But... the clan chief says you have to drink lots of milk to grow strong."

"And beast milk is really tasty!"

With that, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes clear and sincere.

Ye Xuan chuckled helplessly.

This kid—too honest for his own good.

He looked at Little Dot's thin little frame. Though Shi Yunfeng had raised him well these past few years, a faint trace of weakness still showed through at his chest.

That was the Dao Injury left behind after the Supreme Bone was dug out.

Not fatal, but it severely affected his foundation.

Without intervention, this child would have to suffer quite a bit more before slowly recovering.

"Since you offered me milk, let me offer you something good in return."

Ye Xuan moved his mind.

His palm turned over.

In the center of his palm appeared a small jade bottle.

It was the Three Lights Divine Water gifted to him by Nuwa.

This was the number one healing Sacred Medicine of the Primordial Wilderness—it was said that as long as a breath remained, it could bring someone back.

It could even revive the dead and regrow flesh over bone.

Ye Xuan didn't dare give too much.

Little Dot's body was too weak to withstand such potent medicinal power.

He carefully tilted the bottle's mouth.

A single drop of crystal-clear water rolled out.

This droplet shimmered in three colors—gold, silver, and purple—corresponding to sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.

Just this one drop.

The surrounding air instantly turned moist, and a vast surge of life essence spread outward.

The grass on the ground beside them shot up a notch in height.

Villagers who had been doing morning exercises all stopped, staring in surprise.

"Such a wonderful scent!"

"What kind of precious medicine is this?"

Little Dot's eyes went wide, locked onto that single droplet.

Instinct told him this thing was important to him.

Ten thousand times more important than beast milk!

"Little Dot."

Ye Xuan flicked his finger.

That single drop of Three Lights Divine Water landed precisely into the Pottery Jar cradled in Little Dot's arms.

"This sweet water is a hundred times better than beast milk."

"Want a taste?"

Little Dot looked at the Pottery Jar.

As that drop fell in, the white beast milk instantly changed color, a faint layer of Three-Colored Radiance rippling across its surface, the fragrance so thick it was almost tangible.

He didn't hesitate at all.

He had a natural trust for this big brother who smelled so nice.

He raised the Pottery Jar.

"Gulp, gulp."

Little Dot tilted his head back and downed the spiked beast milk in one go.

"Burp—"

Setting down the Pottery Jar, Little Dot let out a satisfied belch.

Before he could even speak.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of heat exploded in his abdomen.

"Ah!"

Little Dot cried out in surprise, the Pottery Jar slipping from his hands and shattering on the ground.

He felt as if he had swallowed a Little Sun.

Rolling waves of heat coursed through his meridians, flowing to his Limbs and Bones, finally converging at the spot on his chest.

That place—it had once been where he hurt the most.

That place—there had once been a Supreme Bone, born with him, cruelly dug out by heartless clansmen, leaving only a hideous scar.

But now.

That spot began to grow hot, to burn, to glow!

"Hum!"

A dazzling divine light pierced through Little Dot's skin and clothes, bursting forth from his chest.

Within the radiance, countless intricate runes could faintly be seen interweaving and reforming.

"It hurts... it itches..."

Little Dot reached up to scratch his chest, a strange expression of both pain and pleasure twisting his small face.
