Thank you to eyljee for the kofi!!
While there was only one bed in Wen Zhihao’s room, he had more than enough bedding to layer so that sleeping on the floor was just as comfortable as the bed. The children familiarised themselves with Wen Zhihao’s room and learnt how to get to Sun Fuyu’s room right next door. Then, Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu accompanied them to the kitchens to eat, before going back. All that walking made the children extra tired, so Wen Zhihao let them go to bed first—bathing can happen tomorrow.
Wen Zhihao tucked them all in, blankets pulled up to their chins, little faces soft courtesy of a good diet. Unable to keep their eyes open, it didn’t take long for them to fall asleep.
Wen Zhihao sighed lightly. How could people be mean to them? How could people be cruel? He quietly left and closed the door.
In the next room, Sun Fuyu was tidying up. Not that there was much to tidy up, not that Wen-ge hadn’t seen his room before, but he was tidying up anyway. Upon the sound of the next room’s door, Sun Fuyu stopped and sat down at the edge of the bed. He was glad that Wen-ge’s aura was powerful enough to permeate into the other room, so the children would sleep through the night without coming to interrupt them.
He looked towards the door with anticipation.
Wen Zhihao stepped in quietly and closed the door behind him. The corner of his lips curled up. “Xiao Yu, why are you still fully dressed?” he asked as he took off his outer robes and spatial rings and hair accessories. He climbed into the inside of the bed and flopped down. “Come to bed, ah, Xiao Yu,” he said sleepily.
“Y-yes.” Sun Fuyu changed into his sleepwear. Seeing Wen Zhihao’s two spatial rings next to his own on the bedside table, Sun Fuyu’s brows creased slightly. They didn’t match… It reminded him of his plan that had been put on hold by the recent events.
“Looking after children really is tiring. A car would be really helpful—hm, like a carriage, but it doesn’t need a horse. They’re also old enough to start attending school.” Wen Zhihao mumbled to himself.
There was the free school in his usual mortal town, but he’ll have to get them stationery and more clothes and toys…He suddenly understood the feeling that children were really expensive. Thankfully, he still had a lot of leftover mortal money courtesy of Cheng Yahui. As for a flying vehicle…there had to be a talisman for that…
When Sun Fuyu climbed into bed, Wen Zhihao’s musings for the future faded away as he focused on the present.
“I’ve imposed on Xiao Yu, haven’t I? Making you help Zhou Sheng instead of letting you cultivate,” Wen Zhihao murmured softly.
“It was something I could do for ge,” Sun Fuyu said. He shuffled closer to Wen-ge, reaching and touching his chest, feeling Wen-ge’s heart beating. His eyes lowered for a moment, before lifting up to meet Wen-ge’s gaze. “Wen-ge helped me. It was good that I could help others. But tomorrow…I have training again. And I might take some small, quick missions,” he added hesitantly. “I should be back by the evening.”
“Okay. Xiao Yu is very good, I’m waiting for Xiao Yu to become a Senior Cultivator,” Wen Zhihao said, holding Sun Fuyu’s hand against his chest. “And then Xiao Yu can raise me,” he added half-jokingly.
But this young man, Sun Fuyu, said seriously, “Yes.” At the moment, Sun Fuyu wanted to get even closer to Wen-ge. His heart thudded as he slowly moved his legs until they touched Wen-ge’s.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Wen Zhihao noticed the touches and willingly tangled his leg with Sun Fuyu.
Sun Fuyu also wanted to reach out with his own aura and entangle it with Wen-ge’s, but the loud sound of his heart thudding in his ears at the thought of taking that initiative was too much. His heart gave a particularly loud thump! when Wen-ge reached out and tucked some strands of his long hair behind his ear.

The moment Wen-ge fell asleep, his aura changed to the familiar slow rhythmic waves. Sun Fuyu’s chest tightened. He sneakily picked up Wen-ge’s hand and kissed it lightly. Pressing the hand against his cheek, Sun Fuyu also drifted off to sleep.
Having coordinated with some of the cultivators in the Sect to help with her own little disciple Sun Fuyu, Liu Zhongmin understood well that not everyone in the Golden Sun Sect cared about helping, and some in the Golden Sun Sect were even distasteful over the matters, arguing that they had no responsibility over the affairs of the mortal world.
So on deciding to let Sun Fuyu bring those remaining mortals back, Liu Zhongmin took the approach of doing it first and then informed the elders and other senior cultivators of what she had done. It was just a few more mortals: it wasn’t as though the Golden Sun Sect was too poor to hire a few more staff. Wasn’t the Sect growing bigger anyway? More staff would better support the disciples. Not to mention that some of them might turn out to have an ability to cultivate.
Liu Zhongmin was ambivalent about the sect factions that opposed her. What mattered was that Elder Liu Ru would be on her side, and that, as expected, the Sect Leader Elder didn’t care either way.
The next morning, Sun Fuyu woke up earlier as usual for his morning training. He glanced at Wen-ge and got up, infused with the motivation to practice and grow stronger.
Later, the sunlight piercing through the window naturally woke Wen Zhihao up. He sat up in bed, reached over for one of his spatial rings, and pulled out talisman paper and brush pen and immediately wrote down his latest great idea: a talisman that would make something so light that it floated.
He chuckled to himself as he tested it out on increasingly heavy and large objects. He had skipped inventing the car and jumped straight to the hovercar!
He dressed, checked on the children—still asleep—and so went out to the courtyard to watch Sun Fuyu train. Today’s Sun Fuyu was very focused and his moves were very handsome. His long black hair flowed through the air as his sword sliced through the wind.
Not too long after, two children pitter-pattered out of the house, calling out, “Uncle! Little Uncle!”
Only then did Sun Fuyu notice the company.
“Continue your training,” Wen Zhihao said with a wave. “You kids need to wash up.”
“Bubbles?” one of them asked.
“Bubbles,” Wen Zhihao agreed.
“Yay!” The kids ran back to the room first.
By commandeering both his own bathroom and the bathroom in Sun Fuyu’s room, Wen Zhihao had all the children bathed and dressed. By the time that was done, Sun Fuyu had finished his morning training. Together, they went to the kitchens to eat breakfast.
Liu Zhongmin, who saw them walking out, suddenly had a feeling of, They’re growing up, ba. The children now have children!
At the kitchens, the children smartly greeted the people they already knew, and shyly greeted the people they didn’t know.
“Grandma, I’m hungry,” Ah-Yi said, raising his little face towards Liu Jing.
“Good, good, then sit down,” Aunty Liu Jing said. She just knew that Wen Zhihao had taught these impressionable kids weird things.
The children sat down in crooked rows on the mats placed on the ground in front of the row of tables.
“Grandma, really?” one of the other kitchen staff giggled. “What big son do you have?”
“Tch, it’s Xiao Fuyu of course. No, it’s the son-in-law that’s the problem,” Liu Jing retorted.
Sun Fuyu’s cheeks went red. He shifted closer and hugged Wen Zhihao’s arm. “What son, what son-in-law?” he mumbled.
Wen Zhihao, however, tilted his head innocently. “Ah, Aunty Liu, do you want me to call you Mother instead? Mama?”
“Stinky son-in-law,” Liu Jing rolled her eyes. She turned to Sun Fuyu. “Xiao Fuyu, you can call me mother. If you want. Aiya, perhaps you’re too old want a mother…”
Sun Fuyu’s eyes grew a bit red as his heart swelled with emotion. “I…um…mmm…Aunty Liu…” he finally said quietly, unable to say the word ‘mother’.
Both Wen Zhihao’s and Liu Jing’s eyes grew soft.
“Think about it,” Liu Jing finally said. “Xiao Fuyu can sit down. Xiao Wen, you can help me carry out the food.”
“Yes, Aunty!” Wen Zhihao said.
The children welcomed their ‘Little Uncle’ to the tables. While Sun Fuyu wasn’t as comfortable with the children as Wen-ge, he knew how to help serve the morning congee and baozi for each child as Wen Zhihao carried out the dishes.
Sun Fuyu’s head lifted when Wen Zhihao finally sat down beside him. Their arms rubbed together, their qi touching.
“Whatever is comfortable for Xiao Yu, okay?” Wen Zhihao said quietly.
Sun Fuyu nodded. “I know…”
Liu Jing, who came to the doorway, saw the little radish heads (kids) and big radish heads (Sun Fuyu and Wen Zhihao) eating. The scene was lively and warm.
Ah-Yi, who sat facing the kitchen, spotted her. “Grandma?” he called out. He stood up haphazardly. “Grandma, come eat, save this for you…”
Liu Jing sighed, her lips curling up. “No, no, sit down, baobei,” she said warmly. “Grandma will eat later.”
“O-kay…” Ah-Yi shot her a concerned look, but he sat down again upon Wen Zhihao’s assurance that Grandma wasn’t hungry and could cook her own food.
Liu Jing turned back the kitchens and shot a stern look at the other staff who were grinning at each other and mouthing, grandma! She called herself grandma!
“We said nothing!”
“But you thought it!”
Ai, it was lively in the kitchens too.
I haven’t given a rec in a while, it feels… Something that I really like is I’ll Have My Seatmate Beat You, it’s super super cute!
Also…how many children do you think there are? I was thinking like 5 (five little ducklings went out one day…), but I noticed that maybe there was the impression of more? 🤣 But then, 12 would be nice (twelve little girls ducklings in two straight crooked lines…)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always thought there are many children, like 10-12, that went back with the pair of mandarin ducks.
👀 thank you for your comment!
The family is growing😂
It grew really fast 🤣
Also…how many children do you think there are?
I was thinking about 30 but okay
🦆🦆🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
Thanks for the update ~
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Damn, that’s a whole class 👀
When it looks more like a field trip than a family trip… 😳
Well they hadn’t specified it soo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣
Σ(°ロ°) 30!!! In total, maybe there are approaching 30 mortals who came back with them. Wen Zhihao definitely cannot look after 30 kids by himself 🙈🙈
😛
I’ll have my seatmate beat you was really very cute and quiet realistic in my opinion. I really liked that novel.
Thanks for the chapter!!
Yay, glad you like that novel too!
Thank you!! And i love how liu shizun just so confident with elder liu’s support 😍 like what ever happens! I still have my bae! Hihihi
+1
+2 another very cute couple indeed
Through thick and thin, Liu Zhongmin has her Elder Liu Ru~
12 too much
thanks for the chapter~
12 is definitely hard for anyone to take care of, let alone lazy Wen Zhihao 🙈
i had imagined about 8-12 somewhere 😂
also, I’ve been wanting to tell this for a lonngggg time………looking at wen zhihao and sun fuyu: they’re both bottom!!!! looking at zhou sheng and lin yijun: they’re both top!!!!but I’m sure there is some inner workings going on hehehehehhe
thank you for the chapter 💖
I don’t think it’s quite Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu being bottoms but they share a very harmonious relationship that there isn’t really anyone that is dominant. Which makes it more like two switch in a relationship than two shous. Though Imma have to agree with Zhou Sheng and Lin Yijun being both tops, they’re both the kind of guys to take their own destiny into their own hands.
I feel like my inner psychology is being revealed 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 Zhou Sheng and Lin Yijun would be the type to have “tongues battling for dominance” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
⊙0⊙ 8-12… Thanks for telling me 🤣
Ooooh, that’s definitely one way to look at it. I mean, top and bottom are all pretty relative to individual relationships 🙈🙈🙈
As a former babysitter, 12 is making me want to faint. 5 seems more manageable for poor lazy Uncle Wen XD
Thanks for the chapter and always happy for more recs!
En, poor lazy Wen Zhihao would find it hard to look after 12 🙈 even with his aura that makes children more obedient 🤣
Those who came along to the sect still have access to our fish’s soothing aura during meal times plus cat therapy. Besides, I’m not sure they would even know how to take care of children or if they’d even want to.
yep!
Ohhhh, I see. Well, most of them have been in Wen Zhihao’s vicinity for the last week(s), and Sun Fuyu did previously give them calming stones, so they’re not completely out of Wen Zhihao’s aura. But I’m gonna make a mention of them in the next chapter!
I’m fine with 12, (12 dancing princess/princes, just kidding )😁
Thank you bafflinghaze for the update ~
awwww, cute!
thanks for reading!
Oh wow, wouldn’t 12 kids be a bit of a tight fit for one room? 😅 I was also imagining around 5-6 children (cute little ducklings), I don’t like the thought that so many kids couldn’t go back or didn’t have a home welcoming them back 🙈
cough cough indeed, 12 would be a tight fit for a room….. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for the chapter! If the kids are all sleeping in one large bed, I’d say no more than 6…
hm the kids are split, with half on them sleeping on a bed and half of them sleeping on bedding layered on the floor. Not tooooo many of them 🙈
I was thinking that there are 7-12 children there, they’re so lively ah!
Also, Xiao Yu’s not that old to not call Aunty Liu “mother”. I mean, she is your adopted children’s Grandma after all…
Thanks for the chapter (^ _ ^)
👀 7- 12 hmmmmmm. I feel like I’ll probably get an average number of kids based off people’s answers 🙈
Xiao Yu is just being super shy~~~~~~
Thanks for the update (≧▽≦)
Thank you for reading!!
Ah~ I feel warm and happy~ thank you author for writing this fluff with cute babies~
(っ・∀・)っ thank you for reading this fluff with cute babies~~
I would have thought between 6-12 since anymore than that would be way too tiring for Wen Zhihao.Once again, thank you for the fluffy chapter, made my day better.
Yeah, any more would be too much even for calming-aura Wen Zhihao! Thank you so much, I hope you have a good week!!!
So they made a football team.. lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 though who would they play against??? 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for reading!!!
5 or 12 baobeis are still cute little baobeis.
still—cute—little—baobeis 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank you~
How about a baker’s dozen…
I just like odd numbers!
🍞:……
😅
HAHAHAHA odd numbers hmm, I’ll keep that in mind~
Thank you for the adorable chapter
Thank you for reading, Avi!
Thanks for the chapter.. and for clarifying the number of kids. I couldn’t actually imagine there being many but I love the Madeleine reference 😂🤣 is that why you chose ‘sat in a crooked row’?
I really love reading this after a stressful day. The fluff is full of fluff.
Yep, that’s the Madeleine reference 🤣🤣🤣 that show is so cutee
hugs I hope you get to have some restful sleep!
Thanks for the chapter! I was thinking more 10/12 than 5, but we can always compromise on 7/8, lol. This chapter was soft as marshmallow & just as sweet. & Not that anyone expected wild shenanigans of that first night, they’re not there yet, but a little kiss Author? Or should we sigh & lament on how married life & kids really changes things? 😂
👀 we can indeed compromise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
GASP. I mean, they do kiss outside of bed!! Sun Fuyu probably just thought it would be awkward to shift too much. Yep. Definitely. 🤣🤣 Married life and kids LOLLL
Eu tinha pensado em pelo menos 10-12 crianças antes, mas na cena deles dormindo no quarto, e quando wen é preguiçosa, acho que é administrável para 4-5 crianças.
👀 interesting! Thank you for your comment!
I initially thought there was almost a dozen children xD this whole novel basically contains Wen Zhihao’s qi, it’s very calming and fluff-infused :3
Thank you for the chapter!
👀 almost a dozen, cute when they’re happy, not cute when they’re not 🤣🤣🤣 At that rate, Wen Zhihao is gonna have a mini army 🤣🤣
😍😍 the novel containing Wen Zhihao’s qi… that’s such a beautiful description!
Naughty Sun Fuyu! Did you want to dual cultivate???!!! Unfortunately your ge didn’t get a clue! So oblivious that he might be a saint!!! Poor Sun Fuyu 😢
Seeing they surrounded by kids is so cute!! I think 5 is a good number, this way we can get to know them better and maybe they will have their little stories as well ☺️
Senior Liu Zhongmin is so nice ❤️ Btw, is Elder Liu Ru related to Aunty Liu Jing or is that the case where the surname just sounds the same??
Author-san, thanks for the chapter 💕
sweats ah yes, at this point, I’ve only named three of them….
Elder Liu Ru and Aunty Liu Jing, they’re not related, just happen to have the same family name. It may be that their ancestors came from the same village…anyway, now thinking about Liu Zhongmin also wanting to adopt Sun Fuyu and arguing that, hey, they all have the same family name so it’s fine!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is just so healing. Awwww
And I started reading I’ll have my seatmate beat you, and now I really need to MTL is. It’s so sweet.
🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you~
I’m glad you found I’ll have my seatmate beat you to be sweet too!!
Your 12 duckling half will grow up crooked sooner or later Author san😂🤣😂🤣😂
should be fine! should be fine! wipes sweat
Bakers dozen- 13 children following like ducks, one shyly asking to be carried. Also this was the best way to start my morning. SO CUTE
omg such a cute image!!!!!!
Kkkkk it seems like there are more than 6 children, but the rice isn’t even cooked yet.. →_→
More than six children would be logistically too hard to handle though 🤣🤣🤣
I had the impression it was about 10 – 12 children, enough to make up a little school. 😂
“Radish head” … I like it!
😂😂😂😂 if only my character management was better….
“radish head” is something common in chinese BL, or at least, I’m sure I’ve seen it more than once… 😂
I shall sit down on the floor and weep at the softness. Reading this is so therapeutic, it’s washed away all my stress over the last few days 🥺🥺
awwwwww I hope things get better for you!!
You are so sweet, thank you so much 🥺💖
Idk, i forgot how many time’s i’ve read this story you write author.
Inscribble hub, maybe more than 7 or 8 times. In here i think this is the tenth time i’ve read this, and never get bored. Not one bit
🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thank you so much, I’m so happy you like re-reading this!!!
Thank you for another chapter!
Thank you~
