"But there has been an incident over the East Sea," Wang Fengyin continued.
"What happened?"
"It turns out that what emerged from the sea half a month ago was not seven peaks, but a single island with a large lake on it."
Wang Fengyin said to Chen Hao, "When Hua Shan's leader and I went to the East Sea earlier, we found that all seven peaks on the island had collapsed. I guess the series of loud noises we just heard coming from the mortal world were caused by the collapse of these seven peaks."
Chen Hao frowned slightly, feeling puzzled, "Isn't there a seal around that island?"
"The seal was already gone when I got there."
"How strange!" Chen Hao muttered to himself, "Could it be that someone from the outside broke the seal? Or did some hidden power inside the seal break through?"
Chen Hao understood that the force capable of breaking that seal must be extraordinary.
After some thought, Chen Hao decided to go to the East Sea himself, so he set out with Wang Fengyin, Ye Fei, and Xie Xiaofeng to the mortal world.
As soon as they arrived over the East Sea, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng, being Onmyoji, smelled a strong zombie scent.
However, unlike the zombie scents they had encountered before, this scent was heavy with blood and had very little stench of decay, hardly more than what one would expect from soil that had buried a body.
If not for the presence of the blood scent, they would have thought it was just the smell of dust-laden soil.
Following the scent of blood, the four of them landed on the surface of the lake on the island. Due to the surrounding mountains collapsing, half of the lake was buried by sliding rocks or mountainsides.
Chen Hao utilized the Nether Vision Technique, and saw a crimson mysterious force pervading the air.
He remembered coming here more than ten days ago and seeing the lake water also swirling with power.
"There must definitely be a powerful ancient beast sealed beneath this lake," Chen Hao confidently told his three companions.
However, when he looked through to the bottom of the lake, he found nothing there.
"Gulp," without saying a word, Ye Fei suddenly jumped into the lake.
After staying in the water for nearly five minutes, Ye Fei finally surfaced.
"I can feel a strong mysterious force in the water. Also, there are signs of upturned vegetation and stones on the lake's bottom, clearly indicating that something had emerged from beneath," Ye Fei said, gasping for breath.
"But I've already used Nether Vision to see through, and I didn't see anything at the bottom of the lake?" Chen Hao was very puzzled.
"Maybe that thing has already broken out of the seal and escaped."
"I looked carefully at the bottom of the lake when I was here last time, and I didn't see any seal below either."
Chen Hao continued, "But it's possible that it's a type of seal that even my Nether Vision can't detect."
Xie Xiaofeng was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "A seal that even Nether Vision can't detect, what kind of seal could that be? And what kind of monster is sealed underneath? Why is there a smell similar to that of zombies?"
"Zombies?" A flicker of understanding crossed Chen Hao's eyes. He always felt like he knew what was going on, but couldn't quite figure it out.
"I feel like I'm missing or forgetting something?" he muttered to himself.
...
...
It was a quiet, deep night.
Chen Hao returned to the Netherworld, then entered his room filled with anticipation.
By this time, Ye Yuqiao had already fallen asleep, and his newborn child was also quietly lying in a warm, cozy crib.
He walked gently to the crib, then opened his eyes wide to look at his children, his face inevitably showing a thrill of joy.
Afraid of disturbing Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao didn't dare to make any sound, only silently saying in his heart: "Little princess, little prince, daddy is watching you."
Smiling goofily at his children for a while, Chen Hao stretched out his hands and gently touched the cheeks of the two children.
The tender and smooth feel of the baby's skin felt incredibly wonderful to him.
Suddenly, one of the children gently squirmed, frightening Chen Hao so much that he quickly withdrew his hands and didn't even dare to breathe.
After holding his breath for a while and ensuring the child was steadily asleep, Chen Hao finally let out a long sigh of relief. He closed his eyes, feeling the child's breathing and the aura of various souls.
He found that, just like Ye Yuqiao, both children had a triple-soul composition of Yin Soul, Yang Spirit, and Nether Soul, destined to be extraordinary.
After watching the children, Chen Hao sat on a stool by the large bed, keeping an eye on both Ye Yuqiao and the two children.
Before he knew it, Chen Hao had fallen asleep.
Until it was almost dawn, the crying of the babies reached his ears.
He woke up instantly, then turned to look behind at the small bed to find both children crying.
"Baby, baby, don't cry, don't cry!" Chen Hao said in a fluster.
Contrary to his hopes, after he coaxed them a few times, the children cried even louder, their cries loud enough to be heard almost throughout the entire house.
"The children must be hungry," Ye Yuqiao's voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Hao quickly turned around, his eyebrows tightly knitted as he looked at Ye Yuqiao and said, "Wife, you're awake, how do you feel?"
"I feel much better; the Nether King's Power has healed all my wounds, I should be able to get out of bed now."
Chen Hao gave a wry smile as the crying of the children grew louder.
"Then I'm going to find the wet nurse right now," Chen Hao said urgently.
"No need for a wet nurse!" Ye Yuqiao shook her head, "Bring the children here, I want to nurse our babies myself."
Chen Hao agreed, then carefully carried the children into Ye Yuqiao's arms.
After a while, once they were well-fed, the two children fell asleep again.
After putting the children back into the small bed, Chen Hao looked at the children and laughed, "It's really eat, sleep, wake up, and eat again."
"Really! The children were just born and you're already complaining about them," Ye Yuqiao said, trying not to laugh.
Chen Hao walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, then pulled Ye Yuqiao into his embrace, saying, "Wife, how are you feeling now?"
"I feel much lighter, almost like I'm floating. By the way, have you thought about what nicknames we should give our babies?"
"How about calling the sister Xiao Hua and the brother Xiao Cao?"
Ye Yuqiao giggled twice, then said, "Why does that sound to me like 'the school beauty' and 'the school hunk'?"
"That's exactly it! When they grow up, they will definitely be the 'school beauty' and 'school hunk' of their school."
"Alright, Xiao Hua and Xiao Cao it is then. If they blame us later on, you'll have to take full responsibility."
Ye Yuqiao said, snuggling tightly into Chen Hao and then, changing the topic, said: "How did we suddenly become parents? It feels so nerve-wracking, I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of the children."
"There's nothing to worry about. When they're hungry we'll feed them, when they're thirsty we'll give them drinks, when they're sick we'll take them to the doctor. Actually, they probably won't get sick easily, and even if they do, they will probably recover by themselves."
"What if they grow up and abandon us to find their other halves?"
"Wife, aren't you thinking too far ahead? Let's think about the present, like changing their diapers."
Ye Yuqiao giggled softly, saying, "That sort of thing will of course be your responsibility in the future."
