Chapter 969 - How to Make a Child? (1/2)

Jinde laughed again and then switched over to sitting on his lap, his arms still resting on Leng Jin Yu's shoulders. ”Actually, it's quite simple. Since the child can't be carried inside the body, something else has to be used instead. It could be anything but considering the dragons' affinity to water, it'll normally be a sea shell. A couple would dive down to the ground of the sea together and pick one out. It's something you don't hold back on. You'd want the biggest and most beautiful shell possible, something to brag about.

”Afterward, you bring it up and look for a secure place. That could be where you live but it could also be at another place. Anyway, it needs to be one you can reach regularly and you might want to settle down close to it.

”To create the child, you drop a bit of blood into the shell and then both douse it in their spiritual energy. You close up the shell and then return regularly to supplement it with more spiritual energy.”

”That is why you want to heal first.”

Jinde nodded. ”Yes. It wouldn't be impossible as I am now but … it's better to wait. We wouldn't want any accidents to happen.”

Leng Jin Yu nodded quietly, his gaze thoughtful. He had never really thought about it but it didn't seem that strange now that he thought about it. He had been able to create a whole realm. Why wouldn't they be able to create a child together? It was just …

He looked a bit embarrassed but finally couldn't help but ask about what had been bothering him. ”Creating something with your spiritual energy is something I can relate to. It's just … How come it's alive?”

”Silly. What are you thinking of?”

Leng Jin Yu's face changed color at Jinde's teasing expression. ”I just … I just want to make sure. I've never created a living thing. It seems so …” He shrugged his shoulders, unable to even articulate his thoughts on this.

Jinde looked at him for a moment, his expression not as teasing anymore even though there was still a slight glimmer in his eyes. ”Let me ask you something: How long did you take to create this realm?”

”A few hours, probably? Qiu Ling helped me.”

”Mn. And have you ever forged a weapon?”

”A few, actually. Why do you ask?”

Jinde nodded, not surprised at all. While he hadn't talked about it with Leng Jin Yu before, Chun Yin had also been good at this. Somehow, he had always imagined it would be the same in this life. ”Was there ever one with a spiritual consciousness among them?”

Leng Jin Yu's eyes widened slightly. A weapon with a spiritual consciousness? ”That … There was one. It's been a long time but I think it's still in the Jian Yi Sect.”

”Then what was different between that one and the others you forged?”
