"What?! The Young Master can speak!"
Ye Linglong spoke in astonishment, a strange light flickering in her beautiful eyes.
Counting every last day, it had only been thirteen days since the Young Master's birth!
The Young Master... could actually speak already.
Even peerless prodigies blessed with extraordinary physiques had to wait a full twenty days after birth before they could speak.
Even seed-level prodigies of the Eternal Ye Family, such as Ye Sword God and Ye Dan, had needed seventeen whole days before they could speak.
Wasn't the Young Master merely of a Mortal Physique? How could he speak so early?
Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.
She immediately set aside her cultivation, eager to hurry back to her Sleeping Palace.
The Young Master's affairs were countless times more important than cultivation.
If the God Emperor and the mistress learned that the Young Master could speak, who knew how excited they would be?
As Ye Linglong thought this, a smile appeared on her exquisite face, whose beauty could dazzle the world.
A short while later, Ye Linglong entered her Sleeping Palace.
She saw Huang Ruoxi holding Ye Tian in her arms and playing with him.
"Sister, the Young Master can speak!"
Huang Ruoxi spoke excitedly, her phoenix eyes sparkling.
As Ye Tian's maidservant, Huang Ruoxi felt something quite special about witnessing his growth.
Looking at Ye Tian in her arms, she kept getting the impression that she was raising an adorable little boy.
Ye Linglong hurriedly took Ye Tian from Huang Ruoxi's arms and said softly, "Sweet little brother, call me big sister!"
Ye Linglong looked at Ye Tian, anticipation deepening in her eyes, just like a mother waiting for her child to call her Mama.
Ye Tian had expected this all along, so he said in a soft little voice, "Big sister, big sister."
Hearing Ye Tian call her big sister, Ye Linglong instantly felt as though her soul were ascending, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Was this what having a sweet little puppy was like? Just one "big sister" was enough to send her soul spinning. Ye Linglong had never felt anything like it, and her heart trembled.
She immediately showered Ye Tian's little face with smacking kisses, leaving it covered in saliva.
"Sister Linglong, shouldn't we report this to His Lordship the God Emperor?"
"His Lordship will certainly be delighted to learn that his child can speak only thirteen days after being born."
Seeing how thoroughly Ye Linglong was enjoying herself, Huang Ruoxi could not help reminding her.
At Huang Ruoxi's words, Ye Linglong immediately laughed. "Hahaha, I was so happy I nearly forgot the important business."
She promptly had Huang Ruoxi hold Ye Tian while she drew a crystal-like stone from her robes, clear and translucent.
It was a Voice Transmission Stone, capable of ignoring all distances across space to convey messages to someone else.
Although Voice Transmission Stones came in many varieties, they all had various limitations. As for one like the Voice Transmission Stone in Ye Linglong's hand, searching the entire Phoenix Ancient Kingdom would reveal only one in the possession of each member of its royal family.
Yet in the Eternal Ye Family, they were so commonplace that even Ye Linglong, who was not a prodigy of the main branch, could carry one with her.
"My lord patriarch, my lady mistress, the Young Master... can speak."
"And just now, he called for you both."
Ye Linglong spoke into the Voice Transmission Stone. Once she finished, she said to Huang Ruoxi, "Let's wait a moment and see what arrangements the patriarch makes."
A few breaths later, white light rose beneath Ye Linglong's and Huang Ruoxi's feet. Before either could react, they were transported into the lineage's main hall.
Ye Tian had also vanished from Huang Ruoxi's arms.
The two looked up and saw elders of the main branch lining both sides of the great hall.
Two figures sat in the great hall, the sounds of sacrificial rites echoing around them as divine light of chaos shone. They seemed like ancient deities gazing down upon everything in the world.
They were none other than Ye Junlin and Yue Liuli.
"Greetings, Patriarch and Mistress!"
Ye Linglong and Huang Ruoxi immediately knelt and paid their respects.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian was held in Yue Liuli's arms, and both parents gazed at him with adoration.
"Tian'er, come, say Father!"
Ye Junlin's white teeth showed in a delighted smile.
No one would ever have imagined that the exalted God Emperor of this era could experience such a happy moment.
After all, the farther one traveled along the path of cultivation, the greater one's achievements became.
One's emotions would also grow ever fainter, gradually approaching utter indifference.
For one's state of mind had already changed, and one could never return to being the cultivator once so rich in emotion.
Especially after he attained the position of God Emperor, the elders had never again seen Ye Junlin smile so brightly.
Yet... after Ye Tian's birth, Ye Junlin seemed to have become a mortal again, possessing worldly emotions.
"Father, hehehe."
Ye Tian spoke with a smile, his soft little voice enough to melt anyone's heart.
The instant Ye Junlin heard Ye Tian call him Father, his heart nearly melted. "Yes, Father is right here."
Ye Junlin held Ye Tian, and those eyes that saw through the mortal world and regarded everything with indifference actually began to mist over.
Back when he fought the forbidden zones, waged war beyond the realms, and resisted the darkness, he had never shed tears, even when covered in wounds with no one left by his side.
Perhaps... at this moment, he bore no other identity and was merely a father.
He did not care when Ye Tian had begun to speak. Hearing that single "Father" was enough to leave him completely content.
Yue Liuli was also overwhelmed with excitement. She hurriedly looked at Ye Tian, joy plain on her breathtakingly beautiful face, and said gently, "Tian'er, will you say Mother?"
"Mother."
Ye Tian called out. Even Ye Junlin, the God Emperor of this era, could not keep his eyes from misting over, much less Yue Liuli.
Even as the ruler of a holy land, she could no longer remain calm.
Ripples stirred in her heart, and tears of joy spilled from the corners of her eyes.
Ye Tian, held in Yue Liuli's arms, was deeply moved by the sight.
In his previous life, he had been nothing more than an orphan and had never experienced the warmth of family.
Having such a background in this life was already a blessing worth burning incense in thanks for.
He had never imagined that his parents would treat him so well, too. Surely he must have saved all the Myriad Heavens and Worlds in his previous life.
Seeing the God Emperor's family like this, even the elders below the dais were on the verge of tears.
It had not been easy for the God Emperor to have a son.
The higher one's cultivation, the harder it was to produce offspring.
And Ye Junlin was the God Emperor of this era, while Yue Liuli was at the Peak God Sovereign level.
For the two to have a child could only be called a miracle. No wonder that, even knowing Ye Tian had a Mortal Physique, neither had shown the slightest disdain, instead showering him with affection.
"My lord patriarch, my lady mistress, the Young Master can speak only thirteen days after birth. He truly has the makings of a peerless prodigy!"
"Back then, even Ye Sword God, Ye Dan, Ye Xinxin, and that witch might not have matched him."
"Though the Young Master has a mere Mortal Physique, his comprehension far surpasses that of countless prodigies!"
An elder stepped forward and spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Junlin roared with laughter, thoroughly pleased. "Indeed, my son Ye Tian has the makings of a God Emperor!"
His son could speak only thirteen days after birth, surpassing those so-called prodigies.
As his father, he basked in that reflected glory.
Meanwhile, below the dais, Huang Ruoxi inwardly scoffed at the elder's words.
She thought, Hah, the Young Master is a legendary bearer of an immortal bone, a peerless prodigy ranked alongside the Double-Pupiled One. How could he possibly have a mortal physique?
