By this time, Zhao Xin had already given birth to a child.
It was a baby boy.
The child was now one year old.
"This is the child you two had?"
When Chun Ying learned of this, she was pleasantly surprised, but also a little suspicious. "You two didn't just find a mortal's child somewhere and bring him back to trick me, did you?
How come I never saw any of the pregnancy?
You suddenly return from your travels with a child?"
"You just wait and see,"
Xu Lei said. "Just take good care of yourself.
In a few years, you can see if the child looks like us. That will be proof enough."
Hearing this, Chun Ying nodded.
Of course, on this day,
Zhao Xin's soul had once again swapped into Jingchun's body.
To make Chun Ying believe them completely,
Xu Lei carried Jingchun's body into the room.
And while he was performing his Charitable Giving,
Jingchun, who was using Zhao Xin's body, called Chun Ying over to peek in secret.
"So they've truly consummated their relationship."
When Chun Ying saw Xu Lei and Jingchun truly undergoing Dual Cultivation, she finally believed it. "Good, good, good! This is wonderful!"
「Three days later.」
Chun Ying, who doted on her grandson and couldn't bear to part with him, had to leave because of matters at the Daoist Sect.
"Thank you, Hui Chi."
Jingchun, whose consciousness had swapped into Zhao Xin's body, said. "And thank you too, Jin Xin.
Thank you both for helping my mother find peace.
Otherwise, she would still be in pain, and I would still be conflicted."
"Master, if you want to thank us, then help babysit,"
said Zhao Xin, whose consciousness was now in Jingchun's body. "Tonight, Uncle Hui Chi is mine."
That evening,
Jingchun, whose consciousness was in Zhao Xin's body, was taking care of the child.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xin, whose consciousness was in Jingchun's body, came to Xu Lei's bed to receive his Charitable Giving.
Unexpectedly, however, in the middle of his Charitable Giving, Xu Lei suddenly noticed that the "Jingchun" in his arms had gone quiet again.
The next day.
"Master, that's so unfair!"
Zhao Xin wailed. "I didn't even get to receive Charitable Giving for long last night.
Suddenly, we swapped again!
And after I swapped back, I fell right asleep!
So you were the one receiving Charitable Giving the whole time yesterday?"
"I don't know what happened either,"
Jingchun said, blushing with embarrassment. "Last night, I was taking care of the child.
Later, I started dozing off.
The next thing I knew, I was suddenly back in my own body..."
"Of course, I don't mean to blame you,"
Zhao Xin said. "Actually, what I wanted to say is, you've been receiving Charitable Giving from Uncle Hui Chi for so long now.
Master, do you really not have any feelings for Uncle Hui Chi?"
"Of course not!"
Jingchun said. "I've told you, my heart belongs only to my husband, his Senior Brother Hui Lu."
"I see. So Uncle Hui Chi still can't shake the position of the person in your heart."
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "At most, he can only shake your physical body."
"You little rascal."
Jingchun said, "How dare you be so insolent to your master?"
"Master, I was wrong."
Zhao Xin stuck out her tongue. "It was just a joke, just a joke."
"Enough playing around,"
Jingchun said. "Come with me to cultivate."
Watching the two of them leave,
Xu Lei also headed to the Cultivation Room.
He sat cross-legged and continued his Cultivation.
Time flowed on.
"HUMMM."
Suddenly, the Qi from Xu Lei's body surged once more.
He had broken through another Small Realm.
'Bodhisattva Core Realm, Tier Four,' Xu Lei thought. 'But I've finished refining the Demon Core, so my Cultivation speed will definitely slow down again.'
Then, Xu Lei walked out of the Cultivation Room.
"Uncle Hui Chi."
Upon seeing Xu Lei, "Jingchun" threw herself into his arms, and he held her close.
Seeing this, Xu Lei knew immediately that the "Jingchun" in his arms was Zhao Xin.
"Sister-in-law wants to go down the mountain and eat meat!"
At this moment, Zhao Xin spoke in Jingchun's tone, "Could you treat Sister-in-law to a big meal?"
"Of course."
Xu Lei smiled. "Let's go down the mountain for a big meal! Sister-in-law Zhao, you can have whatever you want!"
"Uncle Hui Chi is so obedient. Don't worry, when we get back tonight..."
Zhao Xin gave Xu Lei a kiss, her fragrant breath tickling him as she whispered, "I, your Sister-in-law, will take good care of you."
「Seven years later.」
On this day, in the Cultivation Room,
"HUMMM."
Magical Power surged from the surface of Xu Lei's body once more.
'It took a whole seven years just to advance one Small Realm,' Xu Lei let out a long breath and opened his eyes, muttering to himself. 'I'm only at Tier Five of the Bodhisattva Core Realm. Cultivation is not easy. Frankly, if I didn't have the Ten Thousand Lives Book, with my level of aptitude, I'd have almost no chance of attaining the Dao. But being able to cultivate to the point of extending my lifespan is already pretty good. In this life, if I can finish the Middle Three Realms and reach the Upper Three Realms, that'll be good enough.'
As for those three Enchantresses,
there was still no trace of them.
Xu Lei was still using some mortals to search for them throughout the world, using their likenesses as a guide.
But there had been no discoveries.
Xu Lei figured they probably didn't dare to enter a Mortal City again so carelessly.
They might be hiding in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.
There was nothing Xu Lei could do about that.
His current level of Cultivation was not yet high enough to charge into the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.
So, he just focused on living his own life and on his Cultivation.
Besides, those Enchantresses were Demons, and their natural lifespans were much longer than a mortal's.
Even if Xu Lei died of old age in this life, they probably wouldn't have aged much.
So, he could just wait until he became stronger in the future to kill them.
There was no need to insist on finding them right now,
or to go so far as to damage his own Cultivation just to find a way to kill them.
In any case, the Cultivation of these Demons was much slower than that of humans.
Xu Lei was certain that the day would come when he would catch up to and surpass them.
After walking out of the Cultivation Room,
"I'm now ninety-nine years old!"
