Jing Jia kissed her daughter’s chubby little cheek.
"Shh," she whispered, "Let’s talk somewhere safe. We just came from Qianyuan Hall, and your dad is not yet asleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er felt a gentle breeze brushing past her ear.
With another blink, Jing Jia was already holding her, sitting on the roof of the great hall of Ruizhu Palace.
The mother and daughter, one large, one small, nestled close together, bathing in the soft moonlight.
Bai Zhi’er hugged Jing Jia’s arm with her little hands.
On her fair and tender little face, her big eyes were filled with longing. The most update n0vels are published on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
"Mommy~ when will you be done? Daddy and I miss you very much. When can our family always be together?"
Jing Jia gently stroked her daughter’s little head, her smile graceful and tender.
"Sweetie, be good. Mommy told you, there’s a lot of unresolved trouble in this world. Mommy has to help you deal with each of them, so when you grow up, it will be easier for you."
Bai Zhier blinked her long eyelashes, a look of curiosity on her face.
She asked softly and sweetly, "Is Mommy still fighting those bad guys?"
Jing Jia nodded, "They’re very, very bad. If given the chance, they would come out to bully everyone."
"At that time, many children like you would be forced to separate from their parents."
Upon hearing this, worry immediately filled Bai Zhi’er’s grape-like big eyes.
She said nervously in her childish voice, "Then I don’t want Mommy to rush back. I don’t want other children to be separated from their parents too."
"Zhi’er will definitely be good and wait with Daddy for Mommy to come back!"
Seeing her daughter so understanding, Jing Jia quietly sighed with a touch of emotion and held her tightly in her arms.
"My good little sweetheart~"
After having a child, Jing Jia became more attached.
Bai Zhi’er was the child she bore after thoroughly experiencing the hardships of a mortal woman’s childbirth for ten months.
Moreover, she and Bai Xilie shared true feelings.
Jing Jia joyfully said, "Mommy came to see you this time and brought you your favorite food!"
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes widened in an instant, "What is it? Mommy, show me quickly!"
Jing Jia gave a mysterious smile and took out a small pill with a golden dust glow from her sleeve.
"Look! It’s a top-quality Jade Immortal Pill for ascension!"
Bai Zhier’s big eyes went from excitement to helplessness.
She tugged at Jing Jia’s sleeve and stuck her little head inside to look around.
At last, she lifted her head in disappointment.
The little one pouted, "Is this all, Mommy?"
Jing Jia was a bit surprised, "Zhi Bao used to Immortal Pill the most, saying it tasted sweet like candy."
Now her daughter didn’t seem interested at all.
Bai Zhier rested her chin on her little hand while the night wind blew her fine hair.
The little one said softly, "I used to only drink Immortal Dew, so I thought the Immortal Pill was tasty. But now, I think mortal delicacies are much better! There are so many kinds of sugar!"
"Brown sugar, white sugar, date sugar, almond sugar, and so many more, all tastier than the Immortal Pill!"
Jing Jia was taken aback, then burst into a gentle smile.
Turns out, this child has had her appetite awakened by the delicacies of the mortal world.
Such Immortal Ascension Jade Pills are what many cultivators in this world would do anything to acquire.
Just one of these pills would allow a mortal to live free of disease, enjoy a long life, and even ascension to the heavens wouldn’t be far off.
These used to be snacks for Bai Zhi’er in the immortal palace.
