Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

The days in the desolate abyss were eerily peaceful.

Ever since the Qingqiu Elder "surrendered" that night, there has been an old man in the construction team of the Desolate Abyss who wears gray linen clothes and works extremely hard.

The Grand Elder is a ruthless man.

In order to get a closer look at the Five Treasures Ginger Candy, he single-handedly did the work of three hundred demonic beasts, relying solely on his Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

He was proficient in everything from moving bricks and building walls to catching insects in the spirit field.

But this peace was shattered on the third day.

"boom--!"

The defensive array above the desolate abyss trembled violently.

More than a dozen powerful auras descended outside the city. The leader was dressed in a blue robe, with a sinister face, and held a folding fan in his hand, the fan ribs gleaming coldly.

The two elders of Qingqiu, why don't you return?

"Jiang Yining! Hand over the Grand Elder immediately!"

Hu Bugui hovered in mid-air, followed by a group of fox clan experts, their voices shrill and piercing: "You witch, how dare you use sorcery to bewitch my clan's Grand Elder! If you don't release him today, I'll raze this desolate abyss to the ground!"

On the city wall, the elder, who was carrying bricks, almost dropped his foot because his hand trembled.

"Oh no! What's with this fool?!" The Grand Elder paced anxiously. "If he disturbs the young prince's sleep, I'll skin him alive!"

Before the Grand Elder could rush out to explain, the main hall doors opened.

Jiang Yining came out carrying the five treasures.

She wore a light purple dress today, and the five babies in her arms were wrapped in a snow-white blanket, with only their rosy little faces showing.

Wu Bao seemed to have just woken up; he was still rubbing his eyes.

"It's so noisy..."

Before Jiang Yining could speak, Jiang Yeyao, who was standing next to her, exploded.

This little girl with a chaotic demonic body, although only a few months old, can already run very fast on the ground.

She dragged a demonic sword taller than herself and charged to the front lines with an air of utter indifference.

"Who's disturbing your sister's sleep!"

Jiang Yeyao roared fiercely, her heterochromatic eyes, one red and one black, revealing a ruthless glint: "Yaoyao is going to cut you all in half!"

Hu Bugui was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "Where did this wild girl come from? She hasn't even grown her first hair yet, and she dares to..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The five babies in Jiang Yining's arms seemed to be attracted by Jiang Yeyao's voice, taking their little hands away from their eyes and looking curiously at the sky.

That instant.

The sunlight seemed to favor her and gather on her.

Wu Bao looked at the flying figure in the sky and found it amusing. He grinned and giggled.

That laugh made the world lose its color.

On the black soil outside the Desolate Abyss City, which had been scorched by war, countless tender green shoots broke through the soil and in the blink of an eye, flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields.

Pink petals danced in the wind, carrying a sweet fragrance that soothed the soul, soaring straight into the sky.

Hu Bugui, who had been exuding murderous intent, suddenly stiffened.

His eyes, which were always scheming, were now constricted, reflecting only the image of that little dumpling smiling brightly amidst the rain of petals.

"Thump."

Hu Bugui fell from the sky.

It just crashed straight to the ground, falling face-first into the dirt.

But he seemed not to feel the pain. He scrambled out of the pit on his hands and feet and tumbled and crawled toward the city gate, throwing away the folding fan in his hand as he ran.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Hu Bugui's sinister face was now beaming like a kind old grandmother, tears and snot streaming down his face: "Oh, my darling! This smile...this smile is melting my heart!"

The fox clan experts behind him had long since knelt on the ground, each one staring fascinated at the city wall, their tails uncontrollably sticking out and wagging wildly behind them.

On the city wall, Ye Wuhen crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Tsk, another one gone mad."

Jiang Yeyao, who was originally holding a knife to chop someone, blinked blankly when she saw this scene.

She looked back at her sister, then at the strange old man drooling like a dog outside the formation.

"Sister, is he an idiot?" Jiang Yeyao asked.

Wu Bao couldn't understand her sister's words, but she stretched out her little hand and grabbed at the air in front of Hu Bugui.

Hu Bugui was so excited he almost fainted on the spot.

"His Highness is calling me! His Highness wants me to hold him!"

Hu Bugui frantically pounded on the defensive formation: "City Lord Jiang! Grandma Jiang! Open the door quickly! I can sing! I can also make osmanthus cake! Let me in to serve Your Highness!"

At this moment, the city's Grand Elder finally emerged with a dark expression.

"Hu Bugui! You disgraceful wretch!" the Grand Elder cursed through the array.

Upon seeing the Grand Elder, Hu Bugui's eyes widened immediately: "You old geezer! You actually hogged the chance to serve His Highness all by yourself! So that's why you were having such a good time! Let me in right now! Otherwise, I'll go back and tell His Majesty that you're hogging the food!"

"..."

Jiang Yining looked at this scene and rubbed her temples helplessly.

Why are all the foxes in Qingqiu like this?

"Want to come in?" Jiang Yining asked calmly.

Hu Bugui nodded frantically: "I want to! I dream about it!"

"Entry fee: 100,000 spirit stones per person."

Jiang Yining held up one finger: "Also, once you're in here, you'll have to obey labor reform orders, and there will be no wages."

"Give it to me! I'll give it to you!"

Without a word, Hu Bugui took off his storage ring and threw it into the formation, then looked at Jiang Yining expectantly: "Can I go in now? Can I touch His Highness's hand? Just for a moment!"

Jiang Yining put away the ring, weighed it in her hand, and nodded in satisfaction: "Open the door."

The door slowly opened.

Hu Bugui rushed in like a gust of wind, but was kicked over by the Grand Elder who was prepared.

"Get in line!" The elder, holding a rag, sneered. "I'm the one who cleans windows, you're the one who sweeps floors. Don't you know the rules?"

Just then, another streak of light appeared on the distant horizon.

"Hu Bugui! Elder! You two traitors!"

A beautiful woman dressed in red flew in angrily; she was none other than the Third Elder of Qingqiu.

"You actually..."

Half a quarter of an hour later

The Third Elder knelt before Wu Bao's cradle, holding a fine peacock feather fan in her hand, carefully fanning the sleeping little ancestor with a smile full of maternal affection.

"Oh my, this little face is so tender..."

The Third Elder, having lost all temper, turned and roared fiercely at Hu Bugui, who was sweeping the floor, "Be quiet!"

Not far away, Jiang Yining sat in a grand chair, holding an account book, listening to Chu Anyan's report.

"Mother, we have added thirty-five free laborers, including two in the Integration stage and ten in the Refinement stage."

Chu Anyan adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "At this rate, the reconstruction of the Desolate Abyss can be completed three months ahead of schedule."

Jiang Yining looked at the five treasures who were being fawned over, and then looked at Jiang Yeyao next to her, who was saying "So annoying" but had given her favorite magic ball to her younger sister to play with.

"That's good." Jiang Yining smiled. "This is... cuteness is justice."
