Hearing Wen Xinzhao's words, Chen Lin felt a twinge of guilt.
He said gently, "Don't worry. Since they're my children, I'll naturally take good care of them. I won't let them suffer."

"Fortunately, they grow slowly and have a natural lifespan of nearly a thousand years. Otherwise, you might never have had the chance to see them."
