A baby spoke? His maid's delight-he wanted to see his dad!

Early that morning, Ye Tian reluctantly got out of bed under the relentless fussing of two peerless beauties.

Come on, he was still a baby born barely a dozen days ago. He needed rest!

“Come, Young Master, time to get up and drink your milk.”

Huang Ruoxi's eyes sparkled, and her long crimson hair cascaded down like a flowing river.

She held Ye Tian on the soft, spacious bed, a pure white feeding bottle in her hand.

Ye Tian recognized it as milk from the Elder Five-Colored Ox.

It seemed his princess maid had gotten up bright and early to prepare his breakfast.

A peculiar feeling immediately washed over him—it almost felt like being cared for with a mother's love.

Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you thinking? Yue Liuli, the Jade Pool Holy Mistress, is your mother. Huang Ruoxi is merely your personal maid.

This was the lofty Eldest Princess of an Ancient Kingdom, yet she had now lost her freedom to attend to his everyday needs.

But Ye Tian was not about to grow sentimental. In a fantasy world, the strong devoured the weak.

This was Huang Ruoxi's own choice. He could simply enjoy it with a clear conscience.

As for Ye Linglong, she had already gone out to cultivate.

She had specifically reminded Huang Ruoxi to take good care of Ye Tian, saying that the little rascal loved running off.

Huang Ruoxi held Ye Tian and rocked him back and forth, tending to him with utmost care.

Ye Tian was speechless. If he remained trapped in these secluded chambers like this...

How could he expose the schemes of the other Immortal Forces and the Blood Sea Remnants to his God Emperor Father?

"Damn system, come out and teach me the basics about babies in a fantasy world."

Ding! These are basic facts for Eternal Immortal Domain Cultivators. Please review them, host.

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

Ever since Ye Tian had given the system a furious tongue-lashing last time, it had no longer dared act arrogantly.

Whatever Ye Tian wanted, the system simply gave him. How would it dare haggle?

What if this brat grew up someday and decided he no longer wanted it?

Ye Tian looked at the screen of light before him, visible only to him.

It displayed:

Ordinary babies in the Eternal Immortal Domain: Can speak at six months, walk and run at one year, and undergo Flesh Awakening at three years, officially taking their first step in cultivation and setting out on the path of the Great Dao.

Babies with outstanding talent: Can speak at one month, walk and run at six months, and become no different from children at one year, possessing independent thoughts of their own.

Prodigy babies with peerless physiques: Can speak at twenty days, walk and run at three months, and become no different from ordinary children at six months, possessing independent thoughts of their own. ```

After studying this, Ye Tian discovered that the growth of babies and children was intimately tied to their talent.

They differed greatly in every respect, with only one thing in common: only at three years old could they receive medicinal baths, undergo a baptism of the flesh, initiate Flesh Awakening, and step onto the path of cultivation.

As for their growth after Flesh Awakening, those with peerless talent naturally remained far ahead.

Often, the physical strength these peerless prodigies with extraordinary physiques gained during Flesh Awakening at three years old was astounding.

Generally speaking, if such a peerless prodigy with an extraordinary physique could awaken a thousand jin of divine strength during Flesh Awakening, that was already enough to shake heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep.

Huang Ruoxi, for instance, possessed Phoenix True Blood and had awakened fifteen hundred jin of physical strength during her Flesh Awakening at three years old.

At that thought, Ye Tian exclaimed inwardly, So this maid of mine has such dazzling talent!

He had assumed that, even though she was the Eldest Princess of the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom, her father had sent her to become his maid, so she probably was not a particularly formidable prodigy.

He had never expected both her talent and cultivation level to rival the best among the Eternal Ye Family's ordinary disciples.

If Huang Ruoxi had known what Ye Tian was thinking, she would surely have felt inferior and heartbroken.

The Eldest Princess of the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom, who stood high above the outside world, looked down upon all, and thought nothing of any prodigy, had received an appraisal of merely rivaling the best among the Eternal Ye Family's ordinary disciples after becoming his maid.

After pondering for a while, Ye Tian came up with an idea.

Although his physique was ordinary, there had been those incidents where he casually refined a Heaven-Grade Pill and learned a Peerless Sword Technique with a single glance.

The lineage still judged him to possess nothing more than a Mortal Physique. Though his innate talent was ordinary, his comprehension was very likely exceptional, far surpassing that of ordinary prodigies.

Since that was the case, he could play along and use his exceptional comprehension as an excuse to start speaking.

Prodigy babies with extraordinary physiques could speak at twenty days old, so surely it would not be too strange for him to speak twelve days after birth.

He could seize this opportunity to drop hints to his dad about the plots of the Blood Sea Forbidden Land's remnant forces, the Three Great Immortal Forces, and that whole pack of rats.

No sooner said than done!

Without any hesitation, Ye Tian first drank his milk quietly.

The plan was good, but it had one drawback.

If he spoke, he could indeed warn his dad and the others.

But they would also realize that he was gradually developing an independent awareness. In the future, it probably would not be so easy to take liberties with his little maid and his cousin.

Thinking of his recent nights of revelry, Ye Tian felt as though he were lost in a dream.

Ye Tian began staring at Huang Ruoxi, his eyes innocent and sparkling like crystals.

Seeing the Young Master's lovestruck expression, Huang Ruoxi lifted him high, the corners of her lips rising into a smile as lovely as a flower.

“Young Master, when will you be able to speak?”

"Hehe, back then, this maid of yours could speak on the twenty-first day after she was born."

Huang Ruoxi spoke with a smile, her eyes filled with nothing but Ye Tian, as though her heart truly belonged to him now.

Ye Tian curled his lips and thought, Is speaking on your twenty-first day really that impressive? Will you be scared to death when I speak in a moment?

Huang Ruoxi rubbed Ye Tian's cheeks again and planted several smacking kisses on him with her fragrant lips.

After playing with Huang Ruoxi for a while, Ye Tian put on a silly grin and prepared to speak.

"P-pretty. Pretty big sister."

Huang Ruoxi had yet to register what had happened and replied casually, “Of course. In the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom, I'm not just the Eldest Princess of the Ancient Kingdom, but also its greatest beauty. Only my younger sister can come anywhere close.”

“Wait... Young Master!!!”

“The Young Master can speak!”

Huang Ruoxi was utterly delighted. Her crimson eyes fixed on Ye Tian, and in her excitement, she hugged him and began smothering his chubby little cheeks with kisses.

"Father, Father..."

Ye Tian began mumbling. Although he thought this halting speech sounded foolish, he had no choice.

He was still a baby born only twelve or thirteen days ago. If he spoke fluently and enunciated clearly, he would hardly count as a baby anymore.

Hearing Ye Tian's calls, Huang Ruoxi asked in puzzlement, “Why is the Young Master calling for His Majesty the God Emperor?”

“Could it be... Hahaha! The Young Master has spoken for the first time, so he must want to see his parents!”

"That makes sense. It's a natural instinct for any baby."

Huang Ruoxi immediately sent Ye Linglong a voice transmission to inform her. She was merely a humble maid and had no right to seek an audience at will with any important figure within the Eternal Ye Family, much less the God Emperor!

She could only inform Ye Linglong first, then let the God Emperor and the Jade Pool Holy Mistress decide.
