Chapter 454: When Do You Want a Child?
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Jiang, Vivian.”
Seeing that Sheng Xiao had taken the initiative to greet them, Jiang Shangfeng and Vivian stood up awkwardly and nodded at him respectfully. “h.e.l.lo, Supreme Master Sheng.”
Three years ago, Sheng Xiao had seen Anna praying to the ‘Master Sheng’s Prayer Card’ at the Purifying Spirit Academy’s branch in the Prosperous Capital. That scene shocked Sheng Xiao.
It was then that Sheng Xiao realized that his image had been deified among the commoners.
Seeing that Vivian and Jiang Shangfeng were as excited as if they had seen a G.o.d, he smiled helplessly and walked to Vivian and the others.
Sheng Xiao handed the doc.u.ment bag to Vivian and gave her his sincere wish. “Ms. Vivian, Mr. Jiang, I wish you two a happy marriage. I also wish you a safe birth. This is the wedding gift Yu Huang and I prepared for you. It’s a small gift. I hope you don’t mind.”
How could Vivian despise it? How could she dare to despise it?!
Vivian and Jiang Shangfeng hurriedly waved their hands and said, “No, no. Thank you, Supreme Master Sheng.”
Vivian took the doc.u.ment bag with both hands.
She was really curious about the gift in the bag. She asked Sheng Xiao boldly, “Supreme Master Sheng, can I open it?”
Sheng Xiao nodded calmly. “It’s yours. Of course you can.”
Seeing that Sheng Xiao didn’t mind, Vivian opened the doc.u.ment bag curiously in front of everyone.
Inside the bag, there was a doc.u.ment and a… property deed!
Vivian’s pupils dilated. She took out the property deed with stiff fingers and opened it. She confirmed that Sheng Xiao had really given her and Jiang Shangfeng a two hundred square meter suite in the capital’s business center. Her heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Shangfeng moved closer to take a look at the thing in Vivian’s hand. After seeing the contents of the property deed clearly, Jiang Shangfeng could no longer maintain his composure. He let out a cry of shock. “A house?” Jiang Shangfeng gave Yu Huang a shocked look.
Yu Huang was amused by the couple’s reaction.
She stuffed the property deed back into the doc.u.ment bag and gently placed the doc.u.ment bag in Vivian’s arms. She said heroically, “If I give it to you, then accept it. I don’t have many friends, so even if I give one house to each friend that gets married, we won’t go bankrupt.”
Vivian was speechless.
How rich and bold!
Jingdu was prosperous and rich. The houses in Jingdu’s business center cost at least 300,000 yuan per square meter.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang gave them a house that was more than two hundred square meters. How generous was that?
So this was how it felt to be friends with Supreme Master Sheng.
Vivian no longer cared that Yu Huang’s skin was better than hers and that she was prettier than her. Vivian’s eyes were slightly red as she held Yu Huang’s hand and choked on her tears as she said, “When our child is born, I’ll let her call you Mom!”
Yu Huang was caught between laughter and tears. “That’s not necessary.”
“Speaking of which, you guys haven’t graduated from university yet. If you’re pregnant now, what about your studies?”
Jiang Shangfeng pushed his gla.s.ses up his nose bridge and explained gently, “It’s like this. I’ve already completed my studies in university in advance and successfully entered my school’s graduate school. Vivian can still continue to study when she’s pregnant. After she gives birth, she will take a break from school for a period of time. When the child is half a year old, I will study at home and take care of the child with both our mothers.”
“After Vivian graduates, the child will be able to attend morning cla.s.ses. She will continue her painting career, and I can write scripts in peace.” Jiang Shangfeng studied drama, film, and literature at the Media College, while Vivian studied oil painting at the Academy of Fine Arts.
“Impressive!” Yu Huang gave Jiang Shangfeng and Vivian a thumbs up. She said, “Study, get married, and have children. One step at a time.”
Vivian pursed her lips and smiled. She suddenly asked Yu Huang, “When are you and Supreme Master Sheng planning to have a child?” Vivian was curious about this question.
Hearing that, even the butler who was preparing pastries in the cafe turned to look at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang too.
Whenever they had children depended on Yu Huang.
Yu Huang picked up her coffee and took a sip. She revealed an experienced smile and said, “To be honest, we were trying to have a child just now.”
Anna didn’t understand Yu Huang’s words, but Vivian and Jiang Shangfeng did. Jiang Shangfeng smiled, as if he understood. Vivian glared at Yu Huang and warned her, “Don’t be such a pervert. Don’t lead Anna astray.”
Anna blinked in confusion when she was suddenly called out. She asked curiously, “No, I didn’t understand. Yu Huang, what did you mean by that?”
Yu Huang only smiled and didn’t speak.
Sheng Xiao handed a cup of coffee to Anna. “This coffee isn’t bad. Try it.”
Anna took a sip of coffee and was immediately attracted by the rich coffee. She instantly forgot about the topic just now. “This coffee is so delicious! I want another cup later!”
“Okay.”
She was indeed a pure-hearted child.
After lunch, Vivian and Jiang Shangfeng got up and left. They wanted to take a look at the villa Sheng Xiao had given them.
Sheng Xiao thoughtfully sent a driver to send them to the villa.
After sending the guests away, Yu Huang turned around and was about to return to her room when she sensed an unfamiliar psychic fluctuation approaching the Divine Moon Empire. She suddenly turned to look in the direction of the Divine Sea in the east and said in a low voice, “A Purifying Spirit Master with a high cultivation level has come to the Divine Realm Continent!”
Sheng Xiao asked, “Do you know him?”
Yu Huang shook her head.
At that moment, the butler looked in the direction of the Divine Sea. He walked to Sheng Xiao and whispered, “Young Master, it’s Saint Grantling of the Elve Clan.”
Sheng Xiao looked at the butler a few more times.
The butler understood Sheng Xiao’s gaze and explained immediately, “When the Young Master was born, Saint Grantling accompanied the Elven King to Yufu City and partic.i.p.ated in your first birthday banquet. So, I still remember Saint Grantling’s aura.”
Saint Grantling was a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master and the old princess of the Elven royal family. She was Prince Donor’s grandmother.
Before Lin Jiansheng became a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master, Su Xuanye had always been hailed as an Eastern Saint, and Saint Grantling was a Western Divine Spirit. However, the sudden appearance of Lin Jiansheng, who cultivated as quickly as a rocket, threw the situation into chaos.
Yu Huang immediately guessed the reason why Grantling came to the Divine Sea. She tilted her head and whispered to Sheng Xiao, “The Demon Fetus in Prime Emperor Zhengyang’s body must have grown a lot.”
Sheng Xiao smiled. “I heard that the clothes can’t hid it anymore.”
Yu Huang smiled. “Isn’t that good? In a few months, we can go to the Caro Clan’s baby shower.”
Sheng Xiao shook his head and laughed. He said lovingly, “Naughty.”

“Saint Grantling, the island in the sky ahead is where Caro Clan is. Saint Grantling is a little tired from the journey. When we reach the clan, rest for a while before going to treat my ancestor.”
Although Grantling was over four hundred years old, she still looked young and elegant. She was slender and wore a sea-blue V-neck dress. Her feet were naked on the observation platform of the aircraft, and her slender ankles were wrapped in a ruby ankle chain.
A pair of golden wings pressed against her back, but it didn’t diminish her elegance at all.
Caro Xiangfu was too embarra.s.sed to look at her directly. He felt that it would be offensive to look at this old princess.
In the human world, there might be some arrogant Beast Tamers who would think that Purifying Spirit Masters were trash who had failed to awaken their beast form. However, among the elves, those who could become Purifying Spirit Masters were all pure and kind people.
In the Elve Clan, Purifying Spirit Masters were more respected than Beast Tamers.
Therefore, Lin Jiansheng would take the time to visit the Elve Clan every year. Every time he went, the elven royal family would give him many gifts.
He loved the generous and pa.s.sionate elves.
Grantling held the Purifying Spirit Scepter in her left hand. She looked down at the floating island in the distance with surprise in her eyes. Even in the distant Light Sea, Grantling had heard about the Caro Clan of the Divine Realm Continent. According to those rumors, the Caro Clan was very rich.
To be able to use spirit stones to build an island in the sky on the sea, they were indeed rich!
“Patriarch Caro, your country’s Lin Jiansheng is an old friend of mine. I heard that he had just broken through his cultivation bottleneck at the beginning of the year and became a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. He was bestowed the t.i.tle of Saint Ling Xiao by your country’s king. A few days ago, during the battle with Su Xuanye, Saint Ling Xiao received the sacrifice of the Yin Clan’s dead souls and his cultivation broke through again. Now, he has already become the Purifying Spirit Master with the highest Purifying Spirit Techniques on the Holy Spirit Continent. Why didn’t Prime Emperor Zhengyang look for him to treat him?”
Grantling didn’t speak the human language very fluently, so every word was spoken slowly.
Since Caro Xiangfu didn’t speak the Purifying Spirit Language, he slowed down his speech and tried his best to communicate with Grantling.
Caro Xiangfu showed a bitter expression and said awkwardly, “To be honest, I personally went to look for Saint Ling Xiao, but unfortunately, his cultivation level has yet to stabilize, so he brought his son to the Broken Cliff to enter seclusion.”
Grantling lived in the Light Sea, but she also knew about Broken Cliff.
Grantling revealed a look of admiration. She said, “I also took a trip to the Broken Cliff fifty years ago. There were piles of bones and demonic aura. Saint Ling Xiao went there to enter seclusion in order to break through a few years ago. I didn’t expect him to go again after so many years.”
“His spirit is really admirable!”
“Yes, Saint Ling Xiao is indeed very impressive.”
Grantling asked again, “I wonder what kind of spell Prime Emperor Zhengyang was under?” Previously, Caro Xiangfu had refused to tell the elves about Caro Zhengyang’s illness. He stammered, as if he had something he couldn’t say.
Now that they were almost at the Caro Clan’s floating island, he should be able to explain it.
Caro Xiangfu smiled bitterly before saying, “For some reason, a Demon Fetus was planted in my ancestor’s body.”
“Demon Fetus!” Shock appeared on Grantling’s dignified and elegant face. “How?!”
Grantling had only seen a Demon Fetus in ancient books. She had lived for more than four hundred years but had never seen anyone planted with a Demon Fetus in real life.
