As the days went by, my smiles became noticeably more frequent.
Ordinary life was as plain as water, yet it was everything I had ever dreamed of.
We occasionally talked about our cultivation insights and looked forward to the future together.
There wasn't much romance beneath the flowers and moonlight, but I was still immersed in it all the same.
Of course, life required a way to make a living. Qing Ye had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
I wasn't far from the eighth level of Qi Refining, either.
One early morning, before it was even light outside, I had already gotten up.
Qing Ye opened her bedroom door. Looking at the petite figure almost swallowed by the darkness, she spoke with concern.
"Go back inside. The baby will be here soon. Don't wear yourself out."
"It's okay." I wiped away my sweat. "I can handle hard work."
In the Highest Cultivation World, cultivators in the first few realms were basically no different from ordinary people.
Most people were stuck in those realms, still living the rather impoverished lives of ordinary folk.
By chance, I suddenly discovered that my baked flatbreads were unexpectedly popular. As long as I used better ingredients, they tasted surprisingly good.
Selling them from a stall could earn me ten or twenty spirit stones a month. It was a life I wouldn't have dared dream of before.
When I was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, I could earn fifteen spirit stones a month. Now that I'd reached the seventh level, I spent an extra three or four spirit stones each month on prenatal care, but my income had also risen to twenty. After all was said and done, I could still save a few spirit stones each month.
