    ## Chapter 352: Hunting the Demon Dragon

    After Lu Chang’an left, a handsome and imposing man appeared in the subworld on the Purple Cloud Peak. He wore a high crown and a loose robe, and he was none other than the Cloud Lan True Monarch.

    “It’s good that he left. Yun Qing is about to attempt the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, and we can’t have any unforeseen circumstances,” Cloud Lan True Monarch said calmly, his gaze fixed on the direction Lu Chang’an had left.

    Xiang Da Long, after all, wasn’t a core disciple cultivated by the Cloud霞宗. His strength was beyond that of a typical Jie Dan cultivator. Cloud Lan True Monarch couldn’t help but feel a little wary.

    Purple Cloud True Monarch didn’t say anything, but she understood her partner’s feelings.

    Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage with an immortal golden core was more dangerous than for ordinary Jie Dan cultivators, with a lower margin of error.

    Because of their deeper foundations, the most crucial transformation for Jie Ying, “breaking the core and forming the infant”, was usually successful for those with immortal golden cores.

    This meant that there was no going back! The subsequent Heavenly Thunder and Heart Demon Tribulations, if not passed, would result in death.

    On the other hand, those with lesser foundations and potential, if they failed the breaking-core-forming-infant stage, still had a chance to survive and even maintain their original cultivation. However, the success rate for subsequent attempts after failing the first time was often lower.

    “Brother, when are you going to let Yun Qing attempt the breakthrough?”

    Purple Cloud True Monarch asked with a lazy elegance.

    Yun Qing True Immortal was not only Cloud Lan True Monarch’s most favored disciple, but also his descendant, though their generations were separated by a considerable amount of time.

    Cloud Lan True Monarch replied, “Within a year.”

    “Isn’t that a bit rushed?”

    Purple Cloud Fairy’s brows furrowed slightly. Yun Qing was still young and could have been cultivated and experienced for a few more years.

    “Yun Qing is different from ordinary cultivators. He cultivates without any distractions, pursuing pure and genuine cultivation, not the worldly experience path.”

    “More importantly, brother is a little familiar with the art of observing Qi. Looking at the past hundred years of our sect, its fortune has been fluctuating. Thankfully, in recent years, the sect’s fortune has finally stabilized and even slightly risen.”

    “Yun Qing has cultivated to the peak of the Jie Dan stage. This is the perfect opportunity for him to attempt the breakthrough. If we miss this fortune…”

    Cloud Lan True Monarch spoke logically, explaining his reasoning.

    At this stage of reaching the Nascent Soul, success or failure didn’t only depend on personal foundation and effort, but also on fortune. Those who successfully formed the Nascent Soul were all blessed with extraordinary fortune.

    Because he had noticed subtle changes in the sect’s fortune, Cloud Lan True Monarch had chosen the right auspicious day and time.

    Three months later.

    The edge of the Ancient Forbidden Land of the Middle Region, the Wan Mo Mountain Valley.

    On the cloud-capped summit of a pillar-like mountain, two figures appeared one after the other.

    Besides the one in green silk, Jing Wu Feng, there was also a skinny old man wearing a straw hat.

    “The disguising props used by Daoist Xiang are exceptional. If not for the advance notice, I would have almost mistaken you, Jing,” Jing Wu Feng said with a smile.

    “Please forgive me, Daoist Jing.”

    Lu Chang’an responded amicably, explaining the reason: “The petrified stone-heart dragon has some origins, not a pure, ownerless wild beast. I disguised my identity out of caution.”

    Jing Wu Feng thought for a moment and said with a contemplative tone, “Daoist Xiang, are you worried about the ‘Demonic Asura Monarch’, who has vanished without a trace?”

    “Yes, although his life and death have been uncertain for the past hundred years, his reputation still remains,” Lu Chang’an confirmed.

    The Demonic Asura Monarch, once a famous Nascent Soul stage loose cultivator in the Great Abyss, later joined the Ghost Palace in the Northern Region, switching to ghost cultivation methods. He reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, becoming a top player among his peers.

    His most famous battle involved lightly injuring a Nascent Soul stage senior cultivator. While seriously injured, he still managed to escape with his life. After that, he vanished without a trace.

    Lu Chang’an estimated that he was the strongest among the Great Abyss’s cultivators below the top three. His strength could at least be compared to the Great Qing Middle Region’s Child of Fortune, “Ling Yu True Monarch”. The latter had defeated the Sect Master of the Beast King Valley.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon, before being petrified, had once been tamed by the Demonic Asura Monarch.

    “Even if he isn’t dead, his current condition wouldn’t be good, and he wouldn’t have his peak strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be without news.”

    “However, Daoist Xiang makes a good point. It’s always better to be cautious.”

    Jing Wu Feng finished and took out a scroll, slowly unfolding it. The scroll displayed various vivid images of men, women, old, and young.

    Whoosh!

    Jing Wu Feng lightly tapped with his finger, and a silver-haired old woman’s image from the scroll peeled off and flashed, landing on his body.

    In the next moment, Jing Wu Feng transformed into the image of the silver-haired old woman, his appearance, clothing, and temperament all changed.

    Lu Chang’an was secretly astonished. After Jing Wu Feng changed his identity, he couldn’t detect any flaws. Moreover, Jing Wu Feng was humble and didn’t have the arrogance of disciples from a large sect.

    He quickly understood Lu Chang’an’s strengths of being steady and cautious.

    After they gathered, they discussed their strategy for a while.

    Half an hour later, they entered the Wan Mo Mountain Valley, which was gray and dimly lit.

    On the way, Lu Chang’an intentionally probed Jing Wu Feng’s intentions, asking which great sect on the Heavenly Derivation Continent he was from.

    Jing Wu Feng was very modest and said that he came from an obscure small sect and it wasn’t worth mentioning.

    Entering the Wan Mo Mountain Valley, they slowed down. Finding the exact location of the petrified stone-heart dragon wasn’t as simple as they imagined.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon did have a permanent nest, but it often went out to hunt. According to their plan, they couldn’t fight within the dragon’s nest.

    First, the location was too deep, and fighting could easily attract the attention of other powerful demonic beasts.

    Second, there was a corrupted spiritual vein within the nest. Fighting there would weaken Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng’s power due to the corruption, but would instead amplify the stone-heart dragon’s power. It would constantly replenish its strength, essentially becoming immortal.

    This was one of the reasons why the petrified stone-heart dragon hadn’t been hunted yet, and not just because of the vanished Demonic Asura Monarch.

    Additionally, the petrified stone-heart dragon’s essence soul and great core had changed in nature, and they were incompatible with most humans and demonic beasts.

    Instead of encountering such trouble in the forbidden land, it was better to hunt other demon kings in the sea.

    Jing Wu Feng’s plan was to lure the petrified stone-heart dragon out of its nest and set a trap to kill it in the slightly outer area.

    A month later.

    Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng arrived near the petrified stone-heart dragon’s nest. They encountered many petrified demonic beasts along the way, but it was eerily quiet near the nest.

    “It’s not inside.”

    Lu Chang’an sent several puppets to explore, but they didn’t find any trace of the stone-heart dragon. However, the petrified stone-heart dragon’s nest had a powerful fourth-order restriction, even forming an array. One of the puppets was instantly destroyed.

    Lu Chang’an didn’t have any intention of exploring inside. If the petrified stone-heart dragon blocked them inside, and they couldn’t fight or escape, there was a risk of falling.

    They waited for several months and finally waited for the petrified stone-heart dragon to return from its hunt.

    Woof!

    The powerful demonic aura, accompanied by a low, dull dragon’s roar, approached the area near its nest.

    A petrified giant dragon, more than twenty feet long and covered in brown-yellow scales, entered their sensory field, exuding the pressure of a true dragon descendant.

    As soon as the petrified stone-heart dragon appeared, it entered a fighting state, stirring up black-yellow flying sand and demonic wind, engulfing the surrounding twenty miles.

    Earlier, when Lu Chang’an’s puppets explored the nest and triggered the restriction, the petrified stone-heart dragon naturally became aware.

    Its powerful divine consciousness swept across the surroundings and quickly discovered Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng.

    “Run!”

    Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng soared on their escape talismans, running hastily towards the outer area.

    Boom!

    At the same time, the puppets and talismans they had set up in the nest detonated, causing a large-scale collapse and destruction of the mountain.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon’s cold pupils radiated anger and killing intent, as it roared and chased after them.

    As a true dragon descendant, the petrified stone-heart dragon’s speed was faster than most Nascent Soul early stage cultivators, but it lacked flexibility. Due to being petrified, it disliked transforming into a human form and maintained its natural state.

    Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng both had third-order top-grade escape talismans, but they were still no match for the stone-heart dragon’s speed.

    They tried to weave through the complicated terrain, fighting and retreating.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon wasn’t easy to deal with. As soon as it got closer, it used earth-element divine abilities.

    A vast sandstorm, made of pulverized gold and iron, swirled towards them. Or, pillars of earth spikes, dozens of feet tall, suddenly emerged from the ground and mountains, resembling fourth-order spells used by Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

    Ordinary Jie Dan stage cultivators wouldn’t be able to last a moment and would have perished.

    However, Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng were extraordinary individuals, possessing the strength to fight against Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

    Jing Wu Feng’s body-movement divine abilities were incredibly bizarre. His figure was hit by the petrified stone-heart dragon’s long-range spells several times, turning into shattered wind shadows.

    In the next moment, he teleported dozens of feet away. This kind of short-range shifting divine ability, with slight spatial fluctuations, made Lu Chang’an envious. Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t be able to achieve it.

    Lu Chang’an suspected that he possessed a spatial innate constitution. In the vast world of cultivation, there are countless types of innate constitutions, each with different talents. Among them, spatial innate constitutions are the most top-tier.

    Moreover, Jing Wu Feng’s escape method was primarily wind-element based, while the spatial ability served as an auxiliary. This not only consumed less, but also created various illusions to confuse the enemy.

    Excluding puppets, talismans, and other external objects, Lu Chang’an was far from his peer in terms of fighting against the petrified stone-heart dragon.

    In order to maintain their states, Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng used their abilities to restrain each other during the lure, giving them time to recover their power.

    Lu Chang’an’s restraining techniques relied on artifacts, puppets, and spirit pets. The Earth Rock Rat used its dust storm spell to weaken the petrified stone-heart dragon’s sandstorm, preventing them from being entangled and slowing their speed.

    If they were about to be caught, Lu Chang’an would use fourth-order puppets and defensive artifacts to block them head-on.

    Two days later, Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng landed in a dense forest, finally reaching the designated ambush point.

    By this time, they and the Earth Rock Rat had all sustained some injuries and their power was depleted.

    Lu Chang’an’s qi veins were long, and with recovery pills, it wasn’t a major problem. The fourth-order puppet’s shell had some damage, and he added new puppet crystals.

    Jing Wu Feng took out a jade bottle and drank a sip of thousand-year spiritual milk. His power instantly recovered to its peak state.

    “Daoist Xiang, as long as we lure the stone-heart dragon into the ‘Illusionary Void Thousand Killing Array’, I have a 70% chance of killing it.”

    Jing Wu Feng had set up a spatial illusion-type killing array beforehand in the forest and shallow void. It was more sophisticated than Lu Chang’an’s fourth-order illusion array, with much stronger comprehensive abilities.

    While setting up the array, Lu Chang’an confirmed that Jing Wu Feng was also a master array master, with skills reaching the quasi-fourth-order level, specializing in space type. That was why he had the courage to team up to hunt the petrified stone-heart dragon.

    To maximize the array’s effectiveness, spirit stones alone weren’t enough. Jing Wu Feng also asked Lu Chang’an to arrange four third-order puppets, to be stationed at four array bases to provide power supply.

    Everything was ready, and the petrified stone-heart dragon was successfully lured. But at this moment, they encountered a problem.

    Woof!

    The petrified stone-heart dragon lingered ten miles outside the forest, roaring softly, seemingly wary and no longer approaching.

    Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng looked at each other, brows furrowed.

    If the petrified stone-heart dragon didn’t enter their ambush zone, even if they defeated it, it would be difficult to capture it and obtain the essence soul great core.

    If it were a normal transformed demon king, with high intelligence, the success rate of this ambush would be very low.

    However, the petrified stone-heart dragon had a rather confused mind, easily fooled by slaughter, which was why Jing Wu Feng dared to use this trap.

    “The sky-ranked bloodline of the stone-heart dragon, containing the thin bloodline of the true spirit, makes its sense of smell keen. It might have instinctively sensed something.”

    Jing Wu Feng smiled wryly and transmitted his analysis. Earlier, when they were escaping, they had crossed many complicated terrains, and the petrified stone-heart dragon hadn’t hesitated.

    Squeak!

    The Earth Rock Rat, after taking a recovery pill, rubbed its head against Lu Chang’an’s body. Then, the man and the rat quickly communicated through telepathy.

    Although the Earth Rock Rat hadn’t transformed, it could speak human language. However, most of the time, it didn’t like to communicate in the way of other races.

    “Are you sure you want to do this?”

    Lu Chang’an looked at the Earth Rock Rat and said seriously. Jing Wu Feng, who was beside him, thought for a while and immediately realized the method of attraction.

    “My master is willing to risk his life for my chance to transform, so I naturally have to contribute,” The Earth Rock Rat said resolutely through telepathy.

    “Alright.”

    Lu Chang’an didn’t try to stop it. The Earth Rock Rat’s method involved some risk, and they also had to be wary of Jing Wu Feng’s intentions.

    Squeak, squeak!

    The Earth Rock Rat flew into the air above the forest, emitting the violent aura of a third-order earth-element demonic beast.

    The stone-heart dragon, an earth-element dragon beast, resonated with it and couldn’t help but look at the Earth Rock Rat.

    Whoosh!

    The Earth Rock Rat suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a third-order peak-level great core. It resembled a yellow-brown sphere, dotted with golden core Dao runes, and surrounded by a layer of earth煞氣 (Di Sha Qi, an earth-elemental aura associated with misfortune and negative energies, which could increase the power of earth spells).

    This Di Sha Qi was produced after absorbing the Primordial浊氣 (Zuo Qi, a primordial negative energy). It was a form of advancement for the earth-element talent.

    In a way, the Primordial Zuo Qi that fell from the death of the Xuan Tian back then should have been more suited for the Earth Rock Rat, but most of it had been swallowed by the Xuan Shui Gui.

    The third-order peak-level great core before it, with its harmonious aura, instantly attracted the attention of the petrified stone-heart dragon. Its cold pupils displayed a desire.

    The Earth Rock Rat controlled the great core, circling above its head, flying hundreds of feet high, spinning round and round.

    “Retract it, it’s too dangerous.”

    Lu Chang’an suddenly stopped it.

    Upon hearing this, the Earth Rock Rat opened its mouth, ready to suck back its own demon core.

    Roar!

    The petrified stone-heart dragon roared and flew towards it, reaching out with its claws to snatch the Earth Rock Rat’s demon core.

    This third-order demon core, with its Dao rhyme and unique aura, held an indescribable allure for it, beyond that of any ordinary demon core.

    Instinct told it that it would be an excellent supplement! It was only a few third-order beings, and the petrified stone-heart dragon’s greed quickly overcame its limited reason.

    However, as soon as the petrified stone-heart dragon approached the forest, transparent ripples appeared in the surrounding void.

    Buzz!

    The scene before them twisted, and the gigantic petrified stone-heart dragon was trapped in a cold, starry void.

    The moment the petrified stone-heart dragon rushed towards the ambush zone, Jing Wu Feng activated the ‘Illusionary Void Thousand Killing Array’ in time.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon completely ignored the array’s ambush, continuing to pursue the Earth Rock Rat, following its sense of smell.

    Hiss, hiss!

    In the void, invisible silver threads, like intangible fishing nets, appeared, extremely tough and restricting the stone-heart dragon’s body.

    In an instant, the stone-heart dragon’s speed decreased significantly, its body was marked with fine cuts, and a little blood seeped from its abdomen.

    Taking this opportunity, the Earth Rock Rat sucked its great core back into its body. Assisted by the illusionary void array, it took a step and retreated dozens of feet.

    “This dragon’s physique is truly formidable!”

    Inside the illusionary void array, Lu Chang’an and Jing Wu Feng exchanged glances.

    The fourth-order ‘Illusionary Void Thousand Killing Array’, with its killing power, contained a bit of spatial energy. It could break through protective aura and artifact defenses much faster.

    If an ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivator encountered this ambush and didn’t have a quick method to break the array, they would be shredded within a short time.

    However, this array’s killing power could only cause some skin injuries to the petrified stone-heart dragon.

    “Daoist Xiang, we need to wear it down first.”

    Jing Wu Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He took out a silver short blade, thin as paper and translucent. It was his artifact, the ‘Voidless Blade’.

    This blade, when forged, was infused with rare spatial materials.

    Swoosh!

    Lu Chang’an detected a slight anomaly in the shallow void. The ‘Voidless Blade’ temporarily disappeared from his sensory divine consciousness.

    He felt a chill in his heart, sensing a hint of danger.

    In the next moment, the silver short blade sliced across the petrified stone-heart dragon’s neck, sending blood flying and leaving a half-foot deep wound.

    For the stone-heart dragon, this kind of wound wasn’t fatal, but it truly broke through its defenses, injuring its flesh.

    All the previous attacks had only caused superficial damage.

    The stone-heart dragon felt the threat, roared, its aura exploded, its scales vibrated, and a stone-patterned light membrane spread across its body. It expanded a circle.

    Poof!

    The dozens of silver threads restricting the petrified stone-heart dragon, which hadn’t formed a complete net, were forcibly broken, shattering inch by inch, vanishing into the void.

    Suddenly, the illusory starry void of the array trembled unstably. Through several cracks, a blurry scene of the external forest appeared.

    “Daoist Xiang, restrain it!”

    Jing Wu Feng transmitted a message, as he focused on manipulating the array.

    Lu Chang’an didn’t back down, knowing that the petrified stone-heart dragon’s outburst was only temporary. He instructed the fourth-order puppet, a man in blue armor, to transform into a ten-foot puppet body and restrain the stone-heart dragon directly.

    The fourth-order puppet’s eye sockets glowed with green ghost flames, flickering with intelligent light. It had the consciousness of Wei Gui Shi, and it didn’t require Lu Chang’an to control it separately.

    The blue-armored puppet was enveloped in blue iron wind, with offensive and defensive abilities. It nimbly leaped onto the back of the petrified stone-heart dragon, and its stiff, zombie-like iron arms swung powerfully, striking hard.

    If it were one-on-one, even the fourth-order blue-armored puppet would be reckless to do this.

    But now, the petrified stone-heart dragon was caught in the fourth-order array and attacked by multiple people.

    Lu Chang’an unleashed his high-grade lightning artifact cord. With a rumble of thunder, the electric glow transformed into a lightning whip, dozens of feet long.

    The whip was incredibly agile, “whoosh” in a flash, wrapping around the petrified stone-heart dragon’s neck.

    Lu Chang’an had taken an amplifying secret pill beforehand, his power surged to the limit of the Jie Dan stage. His advantage of cultivating both body and spirit allowed him not only to provide power to the lightning whip artifact, but also provide immense strength.

    As a high-grade confinement artifact, he didn’t worry about it being broken by the petrified stone-heart dragon.

    Sizzle!

    The petrified stone-heart dragon’s neck scales smoked slightly, the demonic energy being restrained by the lightning power.

    The dragon’s body twisted powerfully, its terrifying strength, along with black-yellow罡风 (Gang Feng, a powerful wind associated with magical energy), tried to shake off Lu Chang’an and the fourth-order puppet.

    Fortunately, Lu Chang’an and the puppet’s strengths had both improved since last time.

    Several breaths later.

    Lu Chang’an’s palms ached, but he and the fourth-order puppet combined still couldn’t suppress the petrified stone-heart dragon’s outburst.

    “Well done!”

    At this time, Jing Wu Feng manipulated the illusionary void array again, condensing a new batch of invisible silver threads, forming an intangible net that bound the stone-heart dragon’s abdomen and body.

    Lu Chang’an’s pressure was greatly reduced, and the pain and numbness in his palms eased a bit.

    Together, the three of them restrained the stone-heart dragon’s head, abdomen, and body, but its tail was still swaying and slapping.

    Lu Chang’an left the least pressured part to the Earth Rock Rat and the Xuan Shui Gui.

    Squeak!

    The Earth Rock Rat’s fur exploded, its body expanded to six feet tall, and yellow-brown stone light condensed all over its body. It slid down from behind the stone-heart dragon, took out an iron chain that its master had newly forged, and wrapped it around its tail.

    To seize its chance to transform, the Earth Rock Rat also went all out, consuming its blood essence and qi, bursting forth with power, approaching the quasi-fourth-order level of puppets.

    The Xuan Shui Gui retracted its head into its shell and used its transformed ‘Xuan冥重水 (Xuan Ming Chong Shui, a water-elemental divine ability associated with the profound and weighty energy)’ ability from a distance.

    Pop!

    One after another, deep and heavy water spheres merged in mid-air, transforming into a dark, cold, circular water flow, wrapping around the petrified stone-heart dragon’s tail.

    The Xuan Shui Gui had absorbed more Primordial Zuo Qi, and the transformed heavy water ability also possessed powerful corrosive properties.

    Due to their huge difference in cultivation, its current abilities could only assist the Earth Rock Rat.

    By keeping its distance and retracting its head into its shell, Lu Chang’an didn’t worry about it being killed by the attack aftermath.

    The Xuan Shui Gui’s bloodline was sky-ranked, and its shell’s defense was comparable to that of a third-order peak-level Earth Rock Rat’s body. Its spell resistance was even stronger.

    Because it wasn’t old enough, Lu Chang’an had given up the idea of obtaining its shell to craft a divination artifact.

    “Daoist Xiang, maintain this state and restrain it!”

    Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Jing Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and manipulated the ‘Voidless Blade’ again, occasionally attacking the petrified stone-heart dragon’s vital points.

    Unfortunately, the petrified stone-heart dragon reacted quickly, closing its eyes and avoiding its eyeballs.

    With the help of the fourth-order ‘Illusionary Void Thousand Killing Array’, Lu Chang’an, Jing Wu Feng, the fourth-order puppet, and the two spirit pets worked together, completely binding and restraining the petrified stone-heart dragon.

    Its head, abdomen, and tail were all clearly divided.

    “It should be stable now. We just need to be wary of its counterattacks.”

    After a while, Lu Chang’an murmured.

    But just as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

    The petrified stone-heart dragon, trapped in the bindings, its murderous crystal-yellow eyes flashed with a cold light.

    Its stone core and essence soul great core agitated, emitting a strange fluctuation.

    Whoosh!

    Its pair of crystal-yellow eyes, emitting a void-like stone light, locked onto the elusive Jing Wu Feng.

    “No good! It actually comprehended…”

    Jing Wu Feng met its gaze and his heart skipped a beat. A indescribable feeling of stiffness spread from his mind to his entire body.

    Whoosh!

    In the black-yellow flying sand and gale, Jing Wu Feng’s飘逸 (piao yi, a word describing a graceful and elegant demeanor, often used for someone with outstanding lightness in their movements) green-robed figure suddenly stiffened. A layer of yellow-brown rock color quickly spread across his entire body.

    “Petrification divine ability!”

    Lu Chang’an didn’t have time to worry about Jing Wu Feng. He felt an abrupt warning in his heart! A tingling fear, like a shiver down his spine, surged into his mind.

    Woof!

    The petrified stone-heart dragon opened its foul-smelling maw, twisted its head and spat out a ball of twisted, deep, dark-yellow dragon flames, directly at Lu Chang’an, who was closest to its dragon head.

    It was too close, and the speed was too fast! Even though Lu Chang’an had been on guard, he couldn’t dodge in time.

    Whoosh!

    The dark-yellow dragon flames contained the stone-heart dragon’s essence spirit true fire, even possessing the killing power to surpass its level. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t withstand it.

    Without thinking, Lu Chang’an immediately unleashed two fourth-order treasure talismans he had prepared!

    I’ve been having some troubles in real life, plus I recently hit a snag, so the updates have been unstable. Thankfully, things are settling down.

    It wasn’t a small matter. My wife wanted a second child, but I couldn’t stop her. I hired a nanny to cook and clean for her, and promised her the rent every year as her salary. But she still felt insecure and wanted more.

    I don’t want to spoil her. Having a second child didn’t matter to me; having a daughter would be more conducive to a laid-back life. It was mainly my parents who kept asking.
