Breakfast Milk? Better to Just Lie Flat! Phoenix World-Destroying Canon!

Dawn had only just broken, and the sunlight was beginning to brighten. The moment Ye Tian opened his eyes, Ye Linglong's pretty face filled his vision.

Ye Tian's eyes shone, and his little mouth curled upward. He was utterly adorable.

Ye Linglong was so dazzled that she immediately planted a smacking kiss on him.

"Little brother, how can you be this cute? Your big sister loves you to death."

Ye Tian did not push her away or put up a futile struggle.

Because... he had remembered a saying.

Such-and-such was like life: if you could not resist it, you might as well enjoy it.

"Come on, your big sister will take you to breakfast."

Holding Ye Tian, Ye Linglong had originally intended to go eat.

But after arriving at her palace, she discovered an open area.

At its center were a stone table, chairs, and everything else one could need.

Ye Linglong carried Ye Tian over to the stone table and found it covered with dishes of every kind, all giving off rich aromas.

The dishes were varied and the spirit fruits brightly colored. Without question, it was all breakfast food.

"Who carefully prepared this breakfast?"

"The flavor, color, and everything else are quite good, though the attention to detail is a little lacking."

"It must be a new cook."

Ye Linglong inspected the breakfast, dipped a finger in for a taste, and offered her assessment.

She wondered whether the Divine Emperor had specially selected a new cook to prepare meals for her little brother.

Even Ye Tian, nestled in Ye Linglong's arms, drooled at the table full of food.

Unfortunately... he was only an eleven-day-old baby. His teeth had not even come in yet.

He could forget about enjoying fine food. How infuriating!

Ye Tian grew sulky, his little mouth almost forming a pout.

Just then, a woman wearing an apron emerged from the palace. Her long crimson hair cascaded down, making her look like an immortal maiden.

Her crimson eyes gleamed like agates.

In her slender, delicate hand, she held a milk bottle.

The milk inside was thick and white, though its source was unknown.

It was Huang Ruoxi.

Upon seeing Ye Tian and Ye Linglong, she immediately bowed. "Greetings, Young Master."

"Big Sister Linglong, Young Master, this servant prepared breakfast for you. I'm not sure whether it suits your tastes."

Ye Linglong's pupils shrank to pinpoints, shock stirring in her heart.

Only yesterday, Huang Ruoxi had been the lofty Eldest Princess of the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom. How had she accepted this sudden change in status so quickly?

And... she had adapted to her new role so swiftly, showing such thoughtfulness on her very first day.

"This servant understands the Young Master's difficulties. His teeth haven't come in yet, so he can only drink milk."

"This is the milk this servant prepared for the Young Master. It will be very beneficial to his growth."

At those words, Ye Linglong's gaze changed.

What the heck? Milk you prepared for the Young Master?

Hearing Huang Ruoxi's scandalous words, Ye Tian's gaze nearly lost its innocence.

System: What are you talking about? This system doesn't understand.

Huang Ruoxi seemed to realize that she had misspoken and immediately corrected herself. "This servant went to the Ye Family Beast Hall early this morning to find it."

"An elder said this is milk from an Elder Five-Colored Ox, specially suited to helping babies grow."

Huang Ruoxi explained.

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes lit up. He quickly stretched out his chubby little hands, waving them wildly.

His eyes stayed fixed on the bottle in Huang Ruoxi's hand. He was utterly smitten with it and wished he could climb down and snatch it.

It was not that he was greedy for food. He was simply getting tired of drinking from his own exclusive milk bottle all day.

This was the perfect chance to try the Elder Five-Colored Ox milk from the Lineage's Beast Hall.

Seeing this, Ye Linglong chuckled. Her little brother truly was adorable.

She immediately took the bottle from Huang Ruoxi, and Ye Tian hugged it and latched on.

His throat bobbed as he swallowed, his expression one of sheer enjoyment.

He had never expected the Elder Five-Colored Ox's milk to taste so delicious.

Watching Ye Tian happily suck on the bottle in her arms, Ye Linglong felt deeply content.

Meanwhile, looking at this adorably dopey baby, Huang Ruoxi wondered whether he really was the Young Master who had tempered his body with immortal bone energy last night.

Back then, the Young Master had been handsome as an immortal and so adorable that one could not help wanting to plant a kiss on him.

But now... the Young Master clung to a milk bottle and refused to let go, looking utterly dopey.

Being a little glutton was his defining trait.

Huang Ruoxi could hardly believe he was the same person.

She thought, Perhaps this is the Young Master's strategy. He deliberately hides himself before others, conserving his strength until the day he emerges and suppresses every enemy in the world. I only need to play along.

Ye Tian, meanwhile, had his eyes half closed, basking in blissful comfort.

He thought, Now this is how a person ought to live. Eat and drink my fill, rest to my heart's content, then lie flat and sleep.

Reach out and there's food; spread my arms and there are clothes. Yes, I should keep slacking off.

After all, I have an invincible background to fall back on.

Ye Linglong also took a seat and enjoyed the lovely breakfast.

She asked Huang Ruoxi, "You made this?"

"The Eldest Princess of an ancient kingdom has skills like these?"

Huang Ruoxi replied, "This servant spent a long time searching last night and finally found a few cookbooks. Since I've become the Young Master's maid, I naturally need to learn to care for his daily needs. Food and clothing are essential parts of that."

"Good. With that attitude, the Lineage won't have to worry too much once the Young Master moves into his own private palace."

"When that happens, his three daily meals will be taken care of."

Ye Linglong nodded, acknowledging Huang Ruoxi.

She had been the Eldest Princess of an ancient kingdom, after all. Ye Linglong had thought she would need time to adjust to being a maid, but she was learning quite quickly.

"In that case, I can give you this scripture."

Ye Linglong spoke casually.

She extended her slender, delicate hand, and a scripture appeared above her palm. An ancient, boundless aura swept forth.

Crimson flames curled around the scripture. Within them, the faint image of a fiery-red Phoenix appeared, spreading its wings and soaring through heaven and earth.

Drawn by the spectacle, Ye Tian looked over as well.

"This Dao scripture is called the Phoenix World-Destroying Canon. It is the sacred canon passed down by the Phoenix Clan, and only members of their direct bloodline can cultivate it."

"You bear phoenix true blood and have pure phoenix primordial blood within you. Cultivating the Phoenix World-Destroying Canon will surely yield twice the results with half the effort, allowing you to advance steadily along the path of the Great Dao."

The instant Huang Ruoxi saw the Phoenix World-Destroying Canon, she felt the phoenix true blood within her boil, as though yearning for it.

Yet she stared at the Phoenix World-Destroying Canon in Ye Linglong's palm in disbelief. "Isn't this the sacred canon passed down by the Phoenix Clan? Outsiders couldn't possibly obtain it!"

"Heh. In the Eternal Immortal Domain, our Eternal Ye Family is the one and only heaven!"

"It's merely a sacred canon. There's nothing worth making a fuss over."

Ye Linglong spoke as though it were nothing unusual, her tone full of disdain.

But those words took on a different meaning in Huang Ruoxi's ears.

Huang Ruoxi's pupils trembled slightly. The Phoenix Ancient Kingdom had also wanted to obtain the Phoenix Clan's sacred canon and Divine Arts to strengthen its power.

After all... the Phoenix Clan was a race of supreme, ferocious beings renowned across the heavens alongside the Primordial Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, invincible throughout the universe.

When the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom had gone to request access, it had received only one word: "Scram!"

She had never expected that the sacred canon even her imperial father had dreamed of obtaining would be bestowed upon her so easily.

The Eternal Ye Family's reserves were as vast as the sea, as unfathomable as the abyss!

"This servant kneels in thanks for the Lineage's gift!"

"There's no need to thank the Lineage or me. All of this can be considered a gift from the Young Master."
