Time passed in peace and stability, and before they knew it, another year had gone by.
The day Ah Yin gave birth began in the early morning.
The morning light in the Icefire Basin leaked down from the tops of the cliffs, landing on the pale-golden canopy of the Golden Ancient Tree before scattering through the gaps between the leaves into a ground full of fragmented light.
Lan Tian stayed by Ah Yin's side. The Blue Silver God Domain covered her physical condition throughout the entire process, while wisps of Blue Silver God Power entered her body, nourishing her meridians and stabilizing her pregnancy.
The whole process lasted nearly four hours. When a clear cry rang out from the vine house at the center of the basin, Lan Tian let out a long breath.
He carried the newborn child to a stone bench beneath the Golden Ancient Tree and sat down, lowering his head to look at the little one in his arms.
The boy's features resembled Ah Yin's more than anything else. His eyes were closed, his little fists clenched, and his mouth opened and closed slightly as if searching for food.
The Blue Silver God Resonance that came from deep within his bloodline was clear and intense, exactly the same as when his two older sisters had been born.
Lan Si'er and Lan Li'er were squatting on the grass nearby, looking up at their little brother in his arms. Lan Li'er even reached out and poked her brother's cheek with one finger, but Louise gently caught her hand.
Lan Tian lowered his head to look at the boy in his arms, pondering what name he should give him.
Lan Si'er, Lan Li'er—the third child was a boy. After thinking for a while, he finally settled on Lan San.
