Warmth and Naming
Xiao Tian ignored the midwife and walked directly into the palace, with Xiao Yi Xian and the other girls following closely behind.
The Xiao Family family members, however, did not choose to go in now. Instead, they surrounded the midwife and kept asking her questions.
Upon entering the palace, one sees Yun Yun and Ya Fei lying sideways on the large bed, with two newborn babies wrapped in small swaddling clothes beside them.
At this moment, Yun Yun and Ya Fei looked slightly pale, but their tired faces revealed gentle smiles as they looked at their child with wide eyes. Both of them felt their hearts melting, and their whole bodies radiated the glow of new motherhood.
(In the cultivation world, it's perfectly normal for babies to be born with their eyes open; some can even walk right after birth. If you want to argue, then you're absolutely right, oh yes, yes, yes.)
Xiao Tian hurried over to their side, squatted down, and looked at their weak appearance with eyes full of heartache and affection.
Gently brushing the sweat-dampened hair from their faces, he softly stroked their heads and kissed their foreheads. "Yun'er, Fei Er, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Tian then hurriedly took out the recovery pills he had prepared in advance and put them into the mouths of the two of them. As the Medicinal Power of the pills took hold, their complexions gradually regained their rosy hue.
Yun Yun looked up at Xiao Tian, her eyes filled with exhaustion and relief. "Seeing her, I feel it was all worth it." Her gaze fell on the baby, and her smile bloomed like spring flowers.
Ya Fei gently stroked the baby in the swaddling clothes, her eyes filled with the longing and happiness of becoming a mother for the first time. "Yes, seeing her makes me so happy. It's just a pity that we weren't able to give you a son."
Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Tian gently held both her and Yun Yun's hands, his eyes filled with comfort and love.
"Yun'er, Fei Er, please don't think like that. The baby's gender doesn't matter. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all our bloodline, the continuation of life, and the most precious and unique. Your safety and happiness are what I care about most."
"They are all my precious children. I will accompany them as they grow up and protect them and all of you throughout your lives."
His voice was firm yet gentle, and his eyes were full of love.
Xiao Tian didn't care much about whether it was a boy or a girl; in fact, he preferred a daughter more, and even felt that he would definitely be a Daughter Slave in the future.
Feeling the love in Xiao Tian's words and the warmth from his hands was like a ray of light dispelling the gloom in their hearts and warming their souls.
The two looked up, their eyes glistening with tears of emotion, and she held Xiao Tian's hand tightly.
Xiao Yi Xian and her companions looked at the three of them and all smiled.
Just then, the baby girl seemed to sense the deep love between her parents and let out a soft laugh from her crib.
For a moment, everyone in the palace felt a sense of happiness.
"Younger Brother Xiao Tian, look how happy they are laughing." Ya Fei said with a smile, looking at the two babies laughing together.
Xiao Tian gently stroked his two daughters' pink little hands with his fingers. The two little ones seemed to feel their father's caresses, and their little hands clenched slightly, as if responding to Xiao Tian.
This small gesture filled Xiao Tian's heart with an indescribable emotion, stirring up ripples within him.
It's a feeling of excitement, joy, and happiness of becoming a father for the first time, but even more so... a sense of responsibility.
Xiao Tian carefully picked up the two baby girls, even using his warm Wood Element Dou Qi to support them from below, and then gently rocked them. The two baby girls' little mouths moved slightly, and then they moved their bodies slightly, as if searching for a suitable position.
Sensing their movements, Xiao Tian smiled gently, "You two must grow up quickly, then Daddy will take you to play."
Xiao Yi Xian and the others came to Yun Yun and Ya Fei's side, constantly comforting them. Xiao Tian, on the other hand, held his two daughters, teasing them while watching the conversation between the girls.
Xiao Tian sighed, "This is the essence of happiness: a wife, children, and a warm bed."
Afterwards, the women came over and took the children from Xiao Tian's arms. Han Yue and Xiao Yi Xian each held one, and even the usually proud Medusa couldn't help but keep teasing them.
Xiao Tian sat on the bed, holding Yun Yun and Ya Fei in his arms. The two girls rested their heads on Xiao Tian's shoulders, talking and watching their interactions.
"Which of them was born first?" Xiao Tian asked the two of them.
"Sister Yun was born first," Ya Fei said.
They were both born in the same bed, so they could encourage each other.
"Okay, then you two should think of names for them." Xiao Tian nodded gently and said to the two of them.
Yun Yun and Ya Fei exchanged glances. The girls had already decided on names for each other. Yun Yun said softly, "My daughter will be named Xiao Ling, Ya Fei's will be named Xiao Meng."
Xiao Tian carefully examined the two names and found them to be quite good.
Ling means tenacity and purity, and means that it is as beautiful and tough as water chestnuts.
Dreams symbolize beauty and hope, implying that life is as colorful and vibrant as a dream, full of aspirations and hopes.
"Great, so cute at such a young age, she'll definitely grow up to be a beauty like you."
Xiao Tian gazed at his two daughters' rosy little faces, their delicate noses, and their mouths that were constantly laughing as they were being teased by the girls. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly.
After Xiao Tian checked and found no problems, he invited Xiao Zhan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yu in to see his granddaughter and niece.
"My two daughters-in-law, thank you for your hard work." After entering, Xiao Zhan greeted Yun Yun and Ya Fei, then looked longingly at the baby in Xiao Yi Xian and Han Yue's arms.
The two gently handed Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng to Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan was at a loss for words, not knowing which granddaughter to hold. In the end, he simply did what Xiao Tian had done before, holding one in each arm, his face beaming with joy.
Xiao Tian also briefly told Xiao Zhan their names.
Xiao Li whispered to Xiao Ding, "See? I knew Father only liked women. Now that we have two granddaughters, Father is overjoyed."
Xiao Ding nodded in agreement and said.
"Let me tell you, when Xiao Yanzi and Little Tianzi were born, the midwife brought them out and said they were boys. I saw my father's face immediately fall down."
Xiao Zhan's face darkened slightly. He glared at the two of them, then smiled as he looked at his two granddaughters.
The others who heard the conversation and actions between the three of them all burst into laughter.
After Xiao Zhan held them for a while, the others also held them. The two babies seemed to know that everyone here was their family, and they did not show any resistance.
After handing the child back, the group left.
Xiao Tian gently placed the two sleeping babies back on the bed. "Yun'er, Fei Er, you two should rest too."
The two of them were also feeling a little tired, so they nodded and fell asleep. The girls then quietly left.
Meanwhile, in the Underground Magma World of the Jia Nan Academy, Nalan Yanran, who was sitting cross-legged on a rock cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes and saw a pair of eyes glowing red staring intently at her.
