"Does your sister really look bigger than other babies?" Sheng Ming was doubtful.

Yun Jingqiu nodded seriously. "That’s true, Mother Ming. We’ve seen our brothers and sisters from birth to adulthood, so I can say that Sister Ai looks bigger than other babies. She’s only about a hundred days old, but she looks like she’s six months old. Have you asked Xiao Yin to examine her?"

"Not yet." Sheng Ming shook her head. "My daughter is completely healthy, so I didn’t ask Xiao Yin to examine her. Since you brought it up, I’ll take my daughter to the fortress now."

"Where is our father, Sister Ming? Why can’t we sense his aura?"

"Your father has been at the training ground since yesterday, training with Peng Tianlei and the others." Sheng Ming carried Sheng Ai into his arms. "Let’s go to the fortress."

"Alright."

Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen suddenly appeared in the room. "Eh? Are they Ling Yun’s two daughters, Sister Ming?"

"The black-haired one is his second daughter, Yun Shengxia. The white-haired one is his second daughter, Yun Jingqiu." Sheng Ming turned to them. "They are both immortals like me. The first woman is the Virtuous Immortal, Liao Shuzhen. The second woman is the Frost Moon Immortal, Bai Xuanyue."

Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu’s faces turned sour, thinking that Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue were Ling Yun’s future wives. They didn’t show it on their faces and greeted the two female immortals. "Nice to meet you, Two Seniors."

"Actually, there’s still one more woman, and she seems to be at the training ground with your father." Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu looked at Sheng Ming. "The third woman is the Zither Dao Immortal, Dongfang Qinzhi."

"Oh." Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu nodded.

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue observed Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu seriously. "Sister Ming, Little Shengxia has the Holy Sacred Body, right? As for Little Jingqiu, she is a dark phoenix, right?"

"You’re right." Sheng Ming nodded at them. "Shengxia inherited the Holy Sacred Body from her mother, Yi Mingxia. Jingqiu is a dark phoenix because her mother, Hua Ning, is also a dark phoenix."

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue were puzzled. "Wasn’t the dark phoenix race exterminated by Senior Hun in the past? How can there be two dark phoenixes now?"

"The dark phoenix race was extinct in the past, but it has returned to existence in this universe because of my husband." Sheng Ming’s answer further confused them. "Didn’t I tell you two before that my husband can transform humans into demons and devils? In the past, Hua Ning didn’t have spiritual veins, and my husband used the Demon Creation Manual to turn her into a demon, which ultimately turned her into a dark phoenix."

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue took a deep breath after hearing that. They didn’t expect that Ling Yun could bring back a long extinct race using a technique, but they thought it was great because the dark phoenix race was truly powerful.

"If you two met their maternal aunt, you guys would definitely be even more shocked."

"What do you mean by that, Sister Ming?"

"What’s so special about their maternal aunt?"

"Hehe," Sheng Ming chuckled. "Hua Yue is the one and only Leviathan-Dragon in this universe now."

Liao Shuzhen and Bai Xuanyue’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. They knew about the Leviathan-Dragon, but the demon beast had long since become extinct, just like the dark phoenix race, yet Ling Yun had managed to revive it.

"Alright! You two can meet them when they return from the trial tower, and I will take my daughter to the fortress first." Sheng Ming immediately left the two female immortals, followed by Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu.

Liao Shuzhen sighed. "Why didn’t anyone tell us all that before?"

"They’re too busy with their own personal affairs, and Sister Lingzhu is a secretive woman," Bai Xuanyue said with a shake of her head. "If Ling Yun could do such a thing, he might bring back all the extinct races in the future."

"That’s true." Liao Shuzhen nodded in agreement. "The problem is Chaos and darkness! I don’t think Ling Yun would do that with those two still around, but he might do it after he defeats Chaos and takes his place."

"Let’s watch Ling Yun practice with those female beasts."

"Let’s go."

In the laboratory of the fortress, Xiao Yin had finished checking Sheng Ai’s condition. "Sister Ming, I didn’t find any problems in your daughter’s body. Regarding her growth rate, it might have something to do with you and her status as an immortal."

"What do you mean by that, Yin?"

"Sister Ming, when Chaos created you and the other immortals in the past, he didn’t create you all from babies, right?"

Sheng Ming nodded at her. "All the immortals were born into this universe as adults, including me. At that time, we were born with a wealth of knowledge whose origins were unknown to us, but after Huang Lingzhu met us and explained many things, we were able to adapt to our situation much more quickly."

"I see." Xiao Yin nodded in understanding. "I don’t understand how Chaos created all the immortals, but your daughter is affected by it, and she will grow much faster than other babies. She’s a hundred days old now, but my examination results indicate that she’s no different from a six-month-old baby physically. However, mentally she remains like a hundred-day-old baby, so you have to start teaching her many things from now on."

Sheng Ming looked at her daughter with a perplexed look. "Doesn’t that mean my daughter’s physical and mental development will be unbalanced, Yin?"

"That’s true." Xiao Yin nodded. "However, you don’t need to worry about that, and you just need to share things according to her age, so your daughter will adapt by herself."

Sheng Ming massaged her forehead. "Can you share those things with me? After all, I was born an immortal, and I’m not very knowledgeable about common things that are useful for a baby’s development."

"I can do that, but we have to go to the main control room now."

"Alright."

.

.

.

Once they arrived at the fortress’s main control room, Xiao Yin helped Sheng Ming learn various general things related to the growth of babies.

"Sister Ming, your daughter’s growth is not normal, and her mind is stronger than that of an ordinary baby, so you can teach her various things according to her physical development."

"Based on my daughter’s physical growth?"

Xiao Yin nodded. "Her brain grows along with her physical growth, so she should be able to learn many things much faster than other babies."

"I see." Sheng Ming nodded in understanding. "Thank you, and I’ll follow your advice, Yin."

"No problem." After Sheng Ming and the others left, Xiao Yin looked at Sheng Ai’s data on the monitor. "Could it be that her rapid growth happened because she was born immortal?"

.

.

.

In the room, Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu watched Sheng Ming begin teaching Sheng Ai a few things according to Xiao Yin’s instructions. To their surprise, the baby girl quickly grasped everything and began to learn to speak.

"Mom-mommy."

Sheng Ming, Yun Shengxia, and Yun Jingqiu were delighted and confused to hear Sheng Ai say that. However, her growth was truly abnormal. A baby her age shouldn’t be able to talk yet, but she was able to talk quite clearly.

The next second, they were even more shocked when Sheng Ai started to sit up on her own, even though her body wobbled a little as she did so.

Sheng Ming held her daughter with relief in her heart. "Little Ai, I will teach you many things from now on, and you have to follow everything, okay?"

"Uhm." Sheng Ai nodded, nestling into her mother’s chest.

Sheng Ming looked at Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu. "Why are you two looking at my daughter like that?"

"I’m jealous of you, Mother Ming," Yun Shengxia said with an aggrieved look.

"Me too." Yun Jingqiu nodded sadly.

Sheng Ming raised an eyebrow. "Are you two like this because your father is unwilling to accept your feelings?"

"Yes." Yun Shengxia nodded slightly. "Mother Ming, Sister Jingqiu and I loved our father, but he adamantly refused to accept our feelings, and he sent us away so we could forget our feelings."

Then, Yun Jingqiu asked. "Mother Ming, can you help us persuade our father to accept our feelings?"

"No." Sheng Ming immediately refused. "I fully understand how you two feel about your father, but I can’t help you persuade him. Your father’s relationship is too chaotic, but he also has his own opinions about his daughters, and I’m not sure we can change his mind about you two. Besides, he has promised your two mothers to never take you two as his wives, and he is a person who always keeps his promises."

Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu lowered their faces sadly, biting their lips until they bled.

Sheng Ming sighed as she observed the two of them in that state. "Shengxia and Jingqiu, I fully understand how you two feel, but you guys have to learn to forget your feelings for him. I know you both love your father as a man, but he will never return your feelings, so it’s time for you to let go of your feelings."

"Do we really have no chance of that, Mother Ming?"

"Will our father’s feelings for us really never change, Mother Ming?"

Sheng Ming shook her head. "Your father will always love you both as his daughters, but he will never reciprocate your feelings as a man. You two should learn to forget your feelings from now on, and you can try to accept other men. If you can do that, their presence might help you forget your feelings for him."
