Because of the birth of the little one, the family immediately became busy.
The focus of the family began to unconsciously shift from Lin Xue, the expectant mother, to the baby.
"Look at this nose, it really looks like a boss..." Xiaoya held the baby in her arms and looked at the sleeping baby inside, her aunt laughed the whole time.
“As expected of my Mu family’s genes, little Ling’er is so pretty, and she will definitely become a beauty when she grows up!” Linglong watched from the side, nodding with satisfaction.
The family had a lot of discussions about their daughter’s name, but in the end, Mu You and Lin Xue decided on the name ‘Mu Ling’ after discussion.
As for the name, it doesn’t need to be too flashy, it just needs to be appropriate.
“It’s my turn to hold him!” Mianmian anxiously pulled on the corner of Xiaoya’s clothes and didn’t stop until the baby was delivered to her hands.
The little girl, who was usually hairy, became much gentler instinctively at this moment. She wiped her hands and carefully held the swaddle with both hands. Looking at the sleeping baby inside, a silly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Hey, I am a sister again... I will definitely do this this time. Watching you grow up with my own eyes..."
On the hospital bed next to her, Lin Xue was half-lying on the bed, smiling as she watched three women who were inspired by motherhood line up to hold her child. She was not in a hurry to get the baby back. She only had one request, that is, the child could not leave her sight. This is not stingy, but a maternal instinct, especially a mother who has just given birth. Once her child disappears, she will become extremely flustered.
While several women were watching the little life in the house, Mu You was socializing outside.
Lin Xue's pregnancy and childbirth were impossible to hide. The two of them now have extremely special status. Ever since Muyou's vest fell off, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the pet shop every day.
Of course, the identity exposure is limited to those powerful and high-level people. Ordinary people do not know the true address and identity of the ghost captain.
To the neighbors, today is just a new addition to the neighbor's house, so it seems a little livelier than usual. But what the neighbors don't know is that the people who come in and out of the pet store today are all famous people in the world.
From the day after Lin Xue gave birth, people started to come to congratulate her in an endless stream. Mu You was responsible for reception and entertainment, and was extremely busy for several days.
It is not good to just thank the guests behind closed doors, because many of them are acquaintances, such as Zhang Yang and other colleagues from the Irregularity Bureau, several city lords, and members of the Secret Art Association, etc. These are all sincere congratulations. It’s impossible for Mu You not to welcome you all the way.
There are more congratulations sent through private messages on the forum, which are filled with all kinds of unknown IDs. Whether they are flattering or sincere, Mu You can't refuse these blessings for the newborn, so he can only reply with thanks as much as possible. .
In the end, I collected a lot of gifts, which almost filled up a specially prepared backpack space, and there were many expensive gifts among them.
I especially heard that babies need to replenish a lot of energy when they are born. Many acquaintances specially brought some high-energy materials produced in Gaotian as gifts, which helped Mu You save a lot of time in researching materials.
After working hard for three or four days, the family finally calmed down a bit.
After several days of recuperation, Lin Xue's body, which had been weakened by childbirth, slowly recovered.
Confinement period is certainly unnecessary for people of their level. After a few days of rest, Lin Xue looked like a normal person.
The young couple finally had time to recuperate.
“The little guy is really energetic.”
“Naturally, so much energy is not in vain…”
Under the sunny window sill, Mu You and Lin Xue were sitting in the specially prepared baby room, looking at the baby in front of them happily crawling around on the carpet, feeling a little relieved but also a little helpless.
Raising a child is much more tiring than they imagined, especially since they are not ordinary babies, but babies in the energy compensation period. Their body functions are growing rapidly. They have learned to crawl in just a few days, but the price is every day. They all consume a lot of energy and have endless energy.
Lin Xue's limit was to feed her seven or eight times a day. Her breast milk alone couldn't feed the little guy enough, so she had to rely on external energy to supplement it.
At the same time, the little guy has just been born, and his intestines and stomach are not yet accustomed to meat, so he is even more picky about food.
The method the two came up with was to use the 'Shu Jing Tree' produced in the Gaotian World. The juice produced by this plant is edible and tastes like coconut juice. It has the effect of melting divine crystals and can also be frozen into a solid form. Save it and drink it as milk powder for her to drink, which can make up for the energy gap.
Fortunately, this kind of life will not last long. According to the Fairy Queen, when the little guy grows up to one year old, the compensation will end, and then he can return to the normal growth state of a baby.
On the carpet in front, the little goblin flapped its wings and flew in the air, following closely behind the baby. His eyes were full of worry, and from time to time he sprinkled handfuls of blessing pollen from behind.
Probably because she is Mu You’s child, Mu Lan has been extremely close to the little guy since she was born.
The two people in the back were sitting on the carpet, leaning on each other, watching the little goblin chasing the baby in the distance and flying all over the ground, without wanting to move, like two exhausted workers.
It's a pity that the young couple wanted to be alone for a while, but the four-legged gold-eating beast came to them.
After exploring the room for a while, the little guy seemed to be tired of crawling, so he crawled back to Mu You and stretched out his little hands to beg for a hug.
How could Mu You refuse his daughter? He had no choice but to pick up the little one and put it in his arms. He picked up the bottle prepared beside him and stuffed it into her mouth.
The little girl held the pacifier and sucked it naturally, which was very comfortable.
"It seems that she likes to stick to you more." Lin Xue gloated, looking at the closeness between father and daughter, but she didn't feel jealous at all. Before, the only person she cared about most was Mu You, but now there is another one. Both of them are her heartthrobs, and as long as they are by her side, she will be very satisfied.
The little guy drank half the bottle and then spit out the pacifier. He seemed to be full, and he was babbling and waving his hands around, as if he wanted to express something.
Mu You thought she had peed again, so he hurriedly picked her up and checked whether the diaper was wet or not.
It didn't happen. Instead, the little girl lay on his shoulder, and her little hands instinctively grabbed his hair.
Mu You was suddenly stunned.
The moment the little guy grabbed him, he suddenly felt a picture appear in his mind.
The picture shows a cow and a snake, surrounded by many human beings.
The cow that was originally unconscious on the ground suddenly came to life, its eyes were red, and it rushed towards the people around it crazily. The crowd screamed and fled in all directions. The next moment, the entire scene was completely engulfed in flames...
The entire picture almost flashed away. By the time Mu You reacted and wanted to take a closer look, the picture had disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue was at the side and immediately noticed Mu You's frown.
Mu You glanced at the daughter in his hand. The little girl was still smiling innocently, treating her like a big tree and clawing at him.
"It's nothing, maybe it's an illusion..." Mu You shook his head. The scene in his mind came and went quickly, and the scene was extremely blurry, making it difficult for him to tell whether it was an illusion or not.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the cell phone at his hand vibrate.
Opened it and saw that it was a message from the herb collector.
The snake and the watchman are back, and they have brought back the flaming cow. They are staying outside the city of order, waiting to enter the city...
…”
Mu You couldn't help but frown after reading it, and quickly replied: "Don't let them enter the city yet. I'll go over and take a look in person later."
After the news was sent out, Mu You came back to his senses and looked down at his daughter in his hands again, his face looking a little strange.
The little girl looked at him with innocent eyes, still babbling and playing, obviously not knowing what was going on.
“What happened?” Lin Xue asked.
Lin Xue hugged the child, glanced at him, and nodded: "Be safe and go home on time for dinner tonight." She had vaguely read what Mu You was thinking, and knew that there was indeed something that needed to be dealt with.
Half an hour later, Mu You appeared in the City of Order.
Ava appeared in front of him automatically and explained the specific situation to him.
The watchman came back an hour ago. Because he brought Yan Niu with him, it was too big to sneak through the defense line and enter the city, so he greeted the herb gatherer from a long distance away.
After receiving Mu You's order, the herb collectors immediately had people stop them outside the defense line, asking the two of them to wait and not get closer.
After understanding the situation, Mu You followed Ava and left the city to a basin a hundred miles outside the city.
In the open space ahead, there is a snake and a slightly smaller red calf, lying between the cliffs. The two giant beasts occupy almost half of the entire basin.
In the surrounding mountains and forests, densely packed players gathered around, curiously watching the two giant beasts, naturally forming an encirclement.
As Mu You walked by, the crowd automatically made way for him.
At the innermost side of the crowd, the leader of the herb collectors was communicating with the watchman opposite.
Seeing him arrive, the two clones immediately walked towards him.
“Let everyone else step back.” Mu You glanced around and said.
The players around him were all game characters. The herb collector was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and without asking any further questions, he immediately used a messenger item to give the order.
Within a few seconds, everyone around them immediately dispersed and moved away from the vicinity. Many people retreated directly into the city.
Mu You himself also summoned the Chixiao Armor, fully armed, and looked solemnly at the giant calf not far away.
Seeing this scene, the snake couldn't help frowning and said displeasedly: "Boy, what do you mean?"
Just now they were stopped by these humans. It just thought that these ordinary humans were ignorant, and it didn't bother to care.
But now, as the leader of mankind, Mu You actually showed guard against this cooperative ally, and even put on such a tense look, which made Ju She very unhappy.
I have worked hard to bring Yanniu back to you, but this is your attitude?
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s talk about your experience first. What happened?” Mu You asked.
“Hmph.” Ju She snorted coldly and did not bother to answer.
The clock watcher quickly described the two people’s itinerary and experiences over the past month and a half.
Mu You listened silently, his attention always focused on the calf not far away.
He is still not sure whether the scene he just saw will really happen, or whether it is just a nightmare scene...
During the interval when the watchman was describing, in the distance, the sleeping Yanniu suddenly trembled all over his body, then shook his head and slowly got up.
The calf stood up, turned his head and looked around. After a moment of confusion, he finally slowly recalled what happened.
“With a snake…”
"You stubborn cow, have you finally woken up?" Ju She sneered: "I spent a lot of energy saving you, so you have to be grateful!"
Yanniu ignored it and continued to sweep around.
Scanning over several people one by one, his eyes finally rested on Mu You.
Yan Niu stared at Mu You, feeling the aura on his body, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red.
A burst of blazing heat shot out from the surface of the flaming cow, like an eruption of magma, instantly turning the surrounding sky red.
“Huh? Why are you so crazy, you stupid cow? Calm down!”
When the snake saw Yan Niu suddenly rioting, it subconsciously threw out its tail and wrapped it around Yan Niu's body, trying to pin it down.
“Chaos…death!”
Yanniu howled angrily, struggled wildly with its four hooves, and broke free from the shackles of the snake. With boundless anger, it rushed towards Muyou.
“Holy shit, what are you doing?” The watchman was shocked, and the medicine collector on the side also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
This place is too close to the gathering place of humans. If a natural disaster beast goes crazy here, the consequences will be disastrous.
Mu You sighed, he didn’t expect this to actually happen...
In the blink of an eye, the red flaming bull rushed in front of the three people.
However, just when the flames were about to burn the three of them, Mu You raised his eyes.
The limit was opened, and everything around him stopped instantly. Whether it was the furious flaming bull, the flames floating in the air, or the people gathering herbs and snakes, they all froze in place.
In the entire space, Mu You was the only one left who could move.
Mu You walked to the side of Yan Niu in the still world, looked at the huge bull head frozen in front of him, stretched out his hand to feel it, and quickly determined a position.
Then he took out the Hell Blade, put a boundary shield on it, and stabbed at the bull's head continuously.
The sword energy slashes passed through one after another, incising inconspicuous wounds on the skin of the flaming cow.
After slashing hundreds of times at the same location, the skin of the Yanniu was finally broken open, revealing what was inside.
At this time, under the flesh and blood of the Yanniu, a black crystal core was emitting heavy chaotic power outwards.
“As expected…”
Mu You breathed out, took out the Pen of Order, waved it repeatedly, wrapped the black crystal core with order runes layer by layer, and carefully took it out of Yanniu's body.
Then, the parts of Yanniu's body that had been infiltrated by black energy were healed one by one in the opposite order.
Until all the pollution was removed, Mu You removed the stop boundary.
Time resumed its flow, but the furious sound of the Yan Niu stopped abruptly, and the wound on the Niu's head healed quickly as before.
Yan Niu sat down on the ground as if he was exhausted, and looked around blankly again, not understanding what happened for a while.
Gucheng immediately noticed the ball of chaos floating in Mu You's hand, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
“That boy Chaos, how dare you plot against me!”
It didn't see Mu You's actions in Zhijie, but after looking at the situation at the scene, it roughly guessed what was going on: This thing was obviously a back-up left behind by the God of Chaos, sowing chaos in Yanniu's body in advance. As long as it brings Yan Niu close to the City of Order, or encounters someone with the power of order, it will automatically trigger, causing Yan Niu to fall into madness.
Thinking about it now, when Chaos simply let them go, he probably had some thoughts. He wanted to use it to bring Yan Niu back to human territory and let Yan Niu run rampant in human areas. (End of chapter)
