Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

Back to the present, Mark silently stayed with Song Yue without disturbing her sleep, until her mother returned from the kitchen with a ladle in her hand, wearing an apron.

"Oh, Xiao Lu, when did you arrive?" She seemed surprised and couldn't control her voice for a second.

"Ah, just now..." Mark got up and greeted her with a bow, "Mother-in-law."

"Hmm..." Song Yue furrowed her brows in her sleep, looking like her sleep was disturbed.

"Sshhh." Chen Xiao put her finger on her lips and then gestured to her outside the room, not intending to disturb her daughter's sleep.

As they walked into the living room on the first floor and took their seats, she asked, "So, how's your meeting gone?"

Mark let out a sigh as he shook his head, "Not positively. The Cabinet's resolution was overthrown by Shang Zexi. The others don't also seem to be in favor. It looks like it is going to be a bumpy road for Shang Wei."

"Well, you did what you could do. We don't need to worry about the things that are out of our control," Chen Xiao consoled her son-in-law. After a brief pause, she added, "By the way, Xiao Yue has shown the signs of losing control yesterday."

"Again?" Mark's facial expression changed once again. "When exactly?" He asked.

"Afternoon," replied Chen Xiao. She took a breath and explained, "We were having lunch together, and suddenly, weird dark energy erupted out of her and destroyed the tableware, spilling the dishes around. Fortunately, little Baltrow acted timely and swallowed it while Little Anan knocked her out."

"Hmm..." Mark thought of something and consulted the AI, "Ark, can I assume that it is because of the minor breakthrough? This happened in the past too."

*Ding!

"Certainly, Master. The chances are more than 80%. However, you should also consider the fact that pregnant women are often sensitive about things. It could also be the taste of the dishes or it could be the feeling of separation from 'Master' too. Without witnessing in person, I cannot conclude it with one reason."

"Ugh, I truly missed the system in times like these," Mark couldn't help but comment.

The Artificial Intelligence made a counterargument right away, trying to poke him where it hurt, "Should I kindly remind master that it was my creator who left you to death after you used you?"

"Well, I don't hate the system," Mark, however, calmly reacted. "Even before leaving, it allowed me to have the army of robots while writing off my debt. It also doesn't change the fact that whatever I'm now, the credit goes to the system."

"Yeah, I know," Mark nodded in understanding.

Shen Ling commented from the side, "If you haven't prepared the name, you could always give a nickname first."

To which, Mark responded with a shake of his head, "No, that is not needed. I and Song Yue have already thought of the name, long ago."

Mark let the baby grab his finger with its tiny hands and announced, "I would like to have my son lead a simple and modest life, one without any life risk. Hence, I name him, Lu Shan."

The baby boy who was curiously looking at his father suddenly broke out into a smile when he heard Mark's words, as if he understood them.

"Ah, look. He seems to like it," Shen Ling couldn't help but also smile in happiness as she found it very cute. She took it into her arms as both of them followed into the room, to visit Song Yue.

Song Yue looked quite weak at the moment and Mark couldn't help but rush forward when he saw that, kneeling beside the bed and grabbing her hands, "Are you alright?"

She weakly nodded with a smile and asked, "Did you name him?"

"Lu Shan," replied Mark with a nod.

Song Yue then said, "Let me take another look at our child."

Shen Ling brought the baby, who once again went into a curiosity mode and observed the princess, and placed it beside his mother. He instantly reached out to his mother's left breast, but upon touching the clothes, chaos energy suddenly erupted from his palms, disintegrating a portion of her clothes instantly without hurting her, taking Shen Ling and Mark by surprise.

Shen Ling hurriedly turned her head aside while Mark stopped Shen Niu, who was about to step inside with a gesture of his palm.

As Baby Lu Shan started drinking milk from his mother, Shen Ling took this opportunity to tease Mark once again, glancing at his surprised face from the corner of her eyes, "The given name and your child's actions don't seem to be matched, Dear."

Mark could only laugh in a mixture of embarrassment and pride, "Well, he was born with cultivation. So, it is normal, I guess."

After a while, the child went to sleep and Chen Xiao stayed inside to change Song Yue's dress as Mark and others came out. Soon, the guests were escorted to their rooms while Mark returned to Song Yue's room to keep an eye on his son, for the rest of the night.

Little did he know at that time that his son's birth itself brought trouble to his doorstep, cutting off his dream of living a peaceful life with his family.
