The moment Ling Chen heard the loud cry of the baby, he suddenly woke up from his meditation. He didn"t have the mood the sense his own strength anymore as he rushed towards the bed where the babies were sleeping.At this moment, all five babies were already awake, except for Ling Lei who was still in a deep sleep and showed no sign of waking up anytime soon.
Of the five of them, only one of them was crying. As for the others, they were looking around with a curious look on their faces.
Meanwhile, Fang Lan and Hu"er still stayed at the corner of the room, refusing to get close to the babies. It could be said that they were still afraid of them.
It was unknown how, but the moment their gazes fell onto Ling Chen, their eyes instantly brightened and recognized him on the spot as they shouted excitedly;
" Mama."
" Mama."
" Mama."
" Mama."
At this moment, Ling Chen didn"t even bother to correct them. He was simply too happy to see them.
Looking at the five chubby babies, Ling Chen felt a deep and profound connection with them as if they were a part of him.
Never did he imagine that he would feel the same profound happiness and joy again when he laid eyes on them. It was just like when Ling Lei was born.
They looked so adorable with their fair and delicate baby"s skin that was smooth and sparkly just like jelly. Their tiny horns looked so cute on their forehead. Their red hairs and pointy ears did nothing but intensify their levels of cuteness.
Without hesitation, Ling Chen quickly picked up the small baby that was crying and hugged him. As he was carrying the little brat, his eyes were fixated on his delicate small face. He had a beautiful facial feature and his golden eyes which was staring at Ling Chen looked particularly beautiful as well.
Furthermore, as soon as Ling Chen carried him in his arms and hugged him, he suddenly stopped crying.
Neh!
As Ling Chen was carrying the small baby, a familiar loud crying rang out again. Compared to the previous one, this one was a lot softer.
"Don"t be jealous, daddy will also carry you." Ling Chen chuckled and said as he gently extended his other arm to grab the little baby girl that was crying.
"Naughty babies! You are already starting to fight each other as soon as you were born." Ling Chen said as he was carrying both children who were now quiet.
It was kinda weird. As soon as Ling Chen carried her, she stopped crying as well. She opened up both of her beautiful golden eyes which looked exactly the same as his brother and stared at Ling Chen with a victorious smile on her face.
Little did Ling Chen know! he just made the biggest mistake by carrying two of them while leaving the other three by themselves on the bed.
It didn"t take a second before the three of them that were on the bed began to loudly cry and threw a tantrum.
Neh!
Neh!
Neh!
As they were crying, they raised their tiny little hands in the air to show Ling Chen that they wanted to be carried as well.
Seeing this sudden scene, Ling Chen found himself in a dilemma and didn"t know what to do. He only had two hands and could only carry two of them at the same time.
"Fang Lan, give me a hand." Ling Chen quickly asked Fang Lan who was standing in the corner like a wooden pole.
Ling Chen was surprised that Fang Lan didn"t ask him where these babies came from. He wasn"t stupid, he could clearly tell that these babies weren"t human, yet he didn"t ask anything about them.
Nonetheless, despite Fang Lan"s undying loyalty towards him, he wasn"t going to tell him anything even if he were to ask him. Not because he didn"t trust him, but because of the safety of the babies and himself. One never knows what the future hold!
"Yes, Young Master." Fang Lan said as he steeled his resolve and walked towards the bed.
"You too Hu"er." Ling Chen added.
Despite Hu"er rebellious and playful att.i.tude, she didn"t retort Ling Chen as she quickly changed to her small size and walked towards the bed as well.
However, when Fang Lan was trying to grab one of them, they moved away from him which clearly showed their stance.
They didn"t want to be held by anyone but their precious mama!
They even refused the fluffy little black fox who was trying to play with them. One of the little boys even bit Hu"er"s tail when she refused to back up.
Seeing this scene, Ling Chen didn"t know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Young Master, it seems like they only want to be carried by you." Fang Lan said with a relieved expression on his face.
" I know." Answered Ling Chen with an amused look on his face.
Though he was happy that babies instantly recognized him and only wanted to be carried by him, he was also depressed because there were five of them and one him.
He couldn"t believe that he had become the father and mother of six demonic children. To make matter worse, he was only ten and hasn"t even grown any pubic hair yet.
Seeing that they continued to cry non-stop despite his effort to make them stop, Ling Chen put down the two babies he was carrying and picked up two others.
However, the moment he put the other two down, they started to cry as well.
"d.a.m.n, I had no ideas being father was going to be this hard." Cursed out, Ling Chen.
" Young Master, they might be hungry. Why don"t you give them some milk." Suggested Fang Lan who was also at his wit ends as the babies didn"t want him to pick them up despite his countless efforts.
As for Hu"er, she had already given up and was laying on the floor while watching Ling Chen with a devious smile on her face. It was as though she was enjoying the show.
"Give them milk! Where do you think I"m gonna find milk to feed them." Answered Ling Chen with a depressed look on his face.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he said." I know that would make them stop crying."
As he said that, he took an inter-spatial ring within his pocket.
"I almost forgot about the spoil of war." He added.
Swoos.h.!.+
At the same time, he sent his spiritual sense inside the inter-spatial ring and then waved his sleeve.
Bang!
Suddenly a mountain appeared inside the room before Ling Chen and them. It was a mountain of things gathered together in a mess.
Suddenly, Fang Lan"s eyes were open wide and round like a ball when he saw that mountain of things, including Hu"er.
"That is?…" Fang Lan and Hu"er looked to that "mountain" in surprise.
"That"s one-quarter of all the treasures I took from the Supreme Sword Dao Sect"s treasury." Ling Chen said with a devious smile on his face.
The entire mountain of things was comprised of Low and high-quality True Qi Stones, Medicinal pills such as Returning True Qi pills, Breaking Barrier Pills, Impurities Cleansing Pills, Spiritual fruits such as Strength Enhancing fruits, Agility Enhancing Fruits and high-grade Demon beast cores of all kind of attributes.
Looking at this scene, Fang Lan"s mouth was gaping as he lost his colors and stared at Ling Chen as his huge eyes became completely astonished in a short amount of time.
It was the first time he was seeing that much treasure in one place. Such amount of True Qi stones, medicinal pills and spiritual fruits were enough to open a huge sect and trained countless experts.
Yet, that much treasure was only a quarter of the young master"s spoil of war.
He could not believe what he was seeing. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.
However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the mountain of treasures was still there, meaning that it was not only in his mind!
In the meantime, Hu"er"s eyes were gleaming with excitement and her mouth was watering when she was looking at that mountain of treasure.
As for the babies, the moment they smell the rich energy coming from the mountain of medicinal pills and spiritual fruits.
They suddenly stopped crying and even stopped caring about Ling Chen as they pounced towards them and shouted simultaneously; " Food!"
Even Hu"er didn"t want to be left behind as she pounced towards the mountain of spiritual fruits like a cheetah. Only the poor Fang Lan didn"t move.
From the look on his face, one could clearly tell that he wanted to join, but held back for some reason.
"Here, that"s for you. It should be enough for you to break through the Martial Sovereign realm and awaken your true power." Ling Chen said as he threw an inter-spatial ring to Fang Lan.
Fang Lan quickly caught it with an ecstatic look on his face and said: " Thank you, Young Master."
Without even checking it, he already had an idea of what was inside it.
