"Godson?" Gu Ruoyun was stunned and she looked at Zuo Shangchen in astonishment. "When did he become your godson?"

Zuo Shangchen's peach blossom eyes blinked and he smiled fascinatingly. "Right now! This little fellow is so outstanding that I can't help but want to take him in. I can also hijack some of his brilliance when he has grown up."

Gu Ruoyun giggled. "I think you want to be his aunt instead, no?"

Zuo Shangchen's expression froze. He then stared at Gu Ruoyun resentfully. "Why are you pointing out the truth for? I do want that but that kid Gu Shengxiao is not like me. He likes women!"

"Alright, I'll continue my cultivation." Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips. "This little fellow has only just been born but he has to be fed! However, I have no time to nurse him. It's a good thing that I have some more pills on my hands. Use these pills to satisfy him."

Gu Ruoyun then took out a porcelain bottle from the Ancient Divine Pagoda and tossed it at Zuo Shangchen.

"One pill should be enough to sustain him for one day. Once this is finished, I'll give you more."

"Alright."

Zuo Shangchen nodded gently, "Leave this little one to me. You can rest assured and cultivate. I won't let him go hungry."

With this guarantee, Gu Ruoyun closed her eyes in assurance and continued her cultivation...

Spring turned into autumn, year after year.

In a flash, two years have passed since Xiao Xun'er's birth. During these two years, Zuo Shangchen had taken care of Xiao Xun'er responsibly and diligently. He did not let Xiao Xun'er disturb Gu Ruoyun either.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful hurricane rose from Gu Ruoyun's body and an omnipresent aura whirled around her. However, as Qianbei Ye had constructed this protective formation, her aura was contained within it.

Hence, no one noticed the scene of her breakthrough...

"Godfather, what's wrong with Mother?"

The peach-pink clad Zuo Shangchen was staring fixedly at Gu Ruoyun who was in the middle of her breakthrough. His hand was holding on to a soft, supple and jadelike little boy.

The little child was about two years of age. His bright and brilliant black eyes stared curiously at Gu Ruoyun as his silvery-white hair fluttered in the wind. His cute little face was filled with anticipation but also resentment from what he has had to endure over the past two years!

That's right, it was grievance!

Xiao Xun'er was unlike most-two-year old children. He could walk at seven months and speak clearly at twelve months. Now, at two years of age, he was very intelligent and was at the same level as a seven or an eight-year-old boy.

However, to a child, the thing he yearned for the most was his mother's presence...

Xiao Xun'er felt very resentful. Each time he wanted to go near Gu Ruoyun, Zuo Shangchen would stop him and he could only watch her from a distance. Heavens knows how much he yearned to rush into his mother's arms.

However, he also understood that he could not enjoy the love of his mother and father like other children!

His godfather had told him how his mother needed to work hard in her cultivation so that she could save his father! Hence, no matter how great his resentment was, he had endured it...

The woman sitting cross-legged from across them opened her eyes. Her clear and cold eyes slowly turned around and she saw the two people, an adult and one child, nearby.

Xiao Xun'er stayed on his spot as he looked at Gu Ruoyun. Though he yearned to run to her side, he was afraid that he would disturb her. His shining eyes were full of anticipation as he stared at Gu Ruoyun impatiently.

"Xiao Xun'er."
