Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: Nickname

Yu Xuanji wanted to escape from the baby’s hand, but felt as if his soul was imprisoned, unable to break free, and was being shaken back and forth by the baby, nearly convinced he was about to reincarnate.

Yu Xuanji resisted the impulse to use the jade ring to kill the baby. This body was too good, too perfect, and he didn’t want to give it up.

With such a powerful innate spiritual power, born no less than an Immortal, it was unimaginable how far this being could grow in the future.

The key point was that this was just a baby, the easiest to possess, and also the easiest for his soul to merge with the body.

The baby’s thoughts had yet to mature and lacked strong cognitive abilities, which would soon give way to boredom and carelessness. That would be his chance.

As expected, just as Yu Xuanji predicted, after playing for a while, the baby grew uninterested, released Yu Xuanji’s spiritual body from its grip, and went back to gnawing on its own little hand.

Gaining his freedom, Yu Xuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, floated in midair, and then flew toward the baby’s head once again.

This time, Yu Xuanji was cautious, discreetly observing the baby’s every move while approaching from the side the baby couldn’t notice.

When Yu Xuanji’s spiritual body made contact with the baby’s head, the baby showed no reaction. Yu Xuanji was elated and immediately burrowed inside.

Having entered the body, the next step was to devour the soul’s original Spiritual Sense and obliterate its consciousness, achieving the goal of body possession.

Yet upon entering the baby’s body, Yu Xuanji found himself in a vast expanse of starry vacuum.

“It’s enormous… utterly unbelievable… this baby’s consciousness sea… is actually a cosmic universe…” Yu Xuanji was both stunned and ecstatic.

The consciousness sea of an average person is merely an expanse of ocean, varying in size but negligible compared to a full cosmic universe.

“No wonder her Spiritual Sense is so formidable. With a consciousness sea akin to a universe, it’d be surprising if her Spiritual Sense wasn’t extraordinary.” Yu Xuanji thought his choice of Lin Shen and Tian Xun’s child as his vessel was undoubtedly the right decision.

With such a powerful consciousness, even if the physical body was inferior, it wouldn’t matter–the early stages might be challenging, but the potential for development was limitless.

“This body will be mine,” Yu Xuanji proclaimed, spreading out his Spiritual Sense in the consciousness sea to locate the baby’s Spiritual Sense, aiming to devour and refine it as the optimal method of possession.

In the consciousness sea, vision doesn’t matter–it’s all about the Spiritual Sense. As Yu Xuanji extended his Spiritual Sense, he immediately detected the baby’s Spiritual Sense.

He initially thought that finding the Spiritual Sense in such an expansive consciousness sea would be difficult, but instead discovered that it was right next to him.

Yu Xuanji was utterly horrified because he realized the baby’s Spiritual Sense was an unimaginable force that defied belief.

The Spiritual Sense took the baby’s form, yet in this consciousness sea, the infant spirit sat vast and towering, dwarfing the cosmic universe as though it were merely a plaything.

Yu Xuanji’s spiritual body was insignificant before the deity-like baby giant spirit–smaller than an ant, entirely beneath recognition.

Yu Xuanji was simultaneously awed and thrilled. Such a terrifying Spiritual Sense was unprecedented in his life–he wasn’t sure whether he could handle it.

But he was unwilling to give up. Gathering all his spiritual power, he decisively released it, making his spiritual body expand, grow larger and larger.

Yu Xuanji exerted all his effort, enlarging his spiritual body until it became no bigger than a mouse. He had reached the limit of his energy and could grow no further.

The enlarged spiritual body finally caught the attention of the baby’s Spiritual Sense, which looked at him with apparent curiosity.

Yu Xuanji, reckless and desperate, charged headlong toward the baby’s Spiritual Sense, intending to bite down on the baby’s spirit and swallow it whole.

Yet just as he hurled himself into the air, the baby’s Spiritual Sense reached out a chubby hand and seized him.

Yu Xuanji was petrified–despite his vigilance, he was unable to react in time to the baby Spiritual Sense’s grab.

Yu Xuanji attempted to unleash a surge of strength to free himself, but the more he struggled, the tighter the baby’s Spiritual Sense squeezed instinctively.

Bang!

Yu Xuanji’s Spiritual Sense was simply crushed by the baby’s Spiritual Sense, disintegrating into spiritual power that scattered throughout the consciousness sea.

Even in death, Yu Xuanji never would have imagined that this would be his fate.

He sought to consume the baby’s Spiritual Sense but could not even withstand an unconscious squeeze of its hand.

With Yu Xuanji’s spiritual body annihilated, the fragmented remnants of his Spiritual Sense dissolved into spiritual power, becoming nourishment for the consciousness sea and the baby’s own Spiritual Sense.

Yu Xuanji’s life memories unfolded like a holographic projection within the baby’s consciousness sea.

The baby’s Spiritual Sense watched Yu Xuanji’s memories as though viewing a movie, its face full of curiosity.

Unbeknownst to the baby, the jade ring around its neck had disintegrated into countless jade particles, merging into the baby’s body.

The Lin Family finally had a descendant, but trouble arose when it came to naming her.

Tian Xun originally wanted the elder sister to choose a name, but the elder sister argued that the name ought to be decided by the parents. However, Lin Shen was absent, and if Tian Xun wanted to wait for Lin Shen to return before naming her, they should give her a nickname for now.

Tian Xun asked the elder sister to suggest a nickname, and she agreed, proposing a proper name when Lin Shen returned so the couple could decide together.

Lin Miao thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Tian Xun: “Searching and wandering to no end, yet found without effort; our family doesn’t seek riches or grandeur for this child–just hope that her life is peaceful, free, and full of fortune effortlessly arriving. How about calling her Laifu as a nickname?”

Tian Xun, Tian Xin, Yan Ruyu, and even Tie, whose face rarely showed emotion, all took on peculiar expressions.

“What do you think we should nickname the child?”

“I think Caidie would be a good name, suitable for a girl.”

“No, too common. Ziyan is more meaningful.”

Each person chimed in with their thoughts. As they discussed names, it was as if Lin Miao hadn’t spoken–her words ignored, her gaze unreturned. This made Lin Miao feel as though she’d imagined it all, otherwise why would they still be debating the name?

“Tian Xun…” Lin Miao wanted to speak to Tian Xun, but Tian Xun had already turned to Tie and said, “Second brother, what name do you think fits this child?”

“Jiu.” Tie thought for a moment and replied.

“Long-lasting and eternal–‘Jiu.’ It’s a nice name. Let’s call her Jiu then.” Tian Xun quickly declared. Though the name was ordinary, it was far better than Laifu. Afraid Lin Miao might suggest something else, she finalized the choice on the spot.
