After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

After Lu Tingchen took Xiao Ranran out, Mu Rui studied the secret technique in the room.

He was thinking about how to get Mu Lang back into the sunlight.

Mu Lang's original body had been corroded by the toxins, and even if his soul returned, he wouldn't last long.

He might be taken away by the ghost messengers without even realizing it, and then he will truly be reincarnated.

Therefore, taking his soul and burning his body was also to prevent the ghost messengers from discovering it, so that he could live.

Murui was engrossed in flipping through the ancient books when the gourd beside him stirred.

He looked over, then turned to look at the sky outside, got up, drew the curtains, turned on a lamp, and opened the gourd.

A wisp of green smoke drifted out and landed on the ground, transforming into a human shape.

It took Mu Lang a while to get used to it. When he saw Mu Rui standing to the side, he happily went over to him.

"elder brother."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Murui was busy reading and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

At this moment, Mu Lang also noticed the silver bracelet on his wrist and was somewhat delighted. "Brother, did you go get the gift I prepared for you? Where's the other one?"

Murray: "It's in my son's hand."

Wasn't it a gift from you to both of us?

If it's not on my son's wrist, whose wrist should it be on?

Mu Lang was very happy, but then he suddenly remembered something, and the smile on his face faded.

He asked cautiously, "Brother, have you forgiven me?"

She accepted his silver bracelet and even put it on her little nephew.

He suddenly felt that dying like this wasn't so bad.

At least, Murray's attitude towards him has softened considerably.

Murui paused, and after a while, said, "I accept your bracelet only because I had some reasons for your death. If it weren't for my negligence, you wouldn't be in this state now. So, it doesn't mean that I forgive you or everything your mother did."

These two things are not contradictory.

"Next, I will try to revive you, but your previous body is no longer usable, so I will have to find you another one."

"Wait patiently."

Once this is done, the two of them should have little to no further contact.

From now on, bridges will remain bridges and roads will remain roads, without disturbing each other.

Thinking about these things, Murui became even more focused.

He carefully examined the ancient book in his hands, searching for a way to bring Mu Lang back to life.

Undeniably, Mu Lang felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing these words.

But he knew that this was the best way.

He sat to one side, watching Murui flip through the books, and then, little by little, he moved closer and closer until he finally sat down with him and read the books together.

As they looked around, their gaze fell on Murui's face.

Sensing the gaze, Murui ignored it and continued, "There are two options. First, I'll find you a healthy but dead body for you to live in. Second, I'll carve one for you out of wood or jade and use magic to let you possess it."

"Of course, there's another one, and that's your cultivation."

"Once you cultivate to become a ghost and your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can cultivate your own body."

So, which one do you choose?

Of these methods, the first two are relatively easy to implement, but the last one is a bit difficult. It's very likely that you'll be struck by lightning and killed before you can even cultivate a physical body.

After waiting for a while and not hearing any sound, Mu Rui looked up in confusion and saw Mu Lang lying down asleep.

Do souls sleep?

never seen it.

Incredible.

Murui ignored him and continued reading, trying to figure out which of the three methods was the safest.

At 2 PM, Lu Tingchen returned carrying the sleeping Ranran.

Murui was searching for usable jade in Lu Lingzhou's collection, but she couldn't find any. Instead, she found two and a half jars of pearls.

You can tell which little one is crying just by looking at the color.

Looking at the quantity, it really breaks my heart for him.

With so many pearls, how long must his little darling have cried?

Murui sighed and put down the jar, thinking that she would take good care of the little guy from now on and never let him cry again.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Lu Tingchen coming out of the children's room, and he hurried over.

"You're back. Where's Xiaobao?"

Lu Tingchen closed the door slightly. "She's asleep. She just fell asleep a little while ago."

Murui poked her head in to take a look and saw the small bundle on the bed. Her eyes were filled with affection.

"Then let him sleep."

"My baby is so cute."

"Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll look after things at home."

"Okay," Lu Tingchen replied, as he was just about to visit his company.

It's almost Chinese New Year, time to prepare for the holiday, I need to go check on the progress and make arrangements.

"By the way, I heard from my brother that Mr. Mu is going to take Ranran to participate in a variety show?" Lu Tingchen took a few steps and then turned around to ask.

"Yes, the time has been postponed to after the New Year. I will bring Mu Chen with me then."

Murui was happy that he would be able to get along with Xiao Ranran openly and honestly, without having to sneak around every time he came to Lu Garden or go out.

"Will you bring Mu Chen?"

"Yes, and we might also bring Mu Qingmu Lan."

These two are Xiao Ranran's bodyguards; they're quite skilled, so I feel safe having them with me.

"That's good. I was a little worried." Hearing that he would bring Mu Chen, Lu Tingchen felt much more at ease.

"I'm leaving now."

"it is good."

Mu Rui watched Lu Tingchen go downstairs and leave Lu Garden.

He wasn't completely oblivious to Lu Tingchen's somewhat veiled words, but it was indeed his problem. He needed to change and learn how to be a good father.

Looking at the sleeping little one inside, Murui went back to her room to get a book, went to the children's room, and read with the little one.

The little guy woke up after sleeping for an hour. He was still a bit dazed when he woke up. Murui picked him up, dressed him, and put a cute little woolen hat on him.

Just then, Mu Chen came in and handed Xiao Ranran a baby bottle. He reached out and hugged it, biting the straw and drinking with his eyes closed.

It took half an hour to finish the bottle of milk.

"Crab hot pot".

You're welcome.

The little darling is still asleep.

Upon entering the living room, I found cartoons playing.

Meanwhile, a little dumpling nestled in Murui's arms, lazily yawning.

I leaned against it for a while and then fell asleep again.

Mu Chen took the blanket and covered him with it.

"It's deep winter, and mermaids prefer to sleep lightly."

Mermaids will retreat to their shells to rest when the weather is cold, and occasionally come out to forage for food.

Such rest is for the growth of the body and the nourishment of one's own spiritual power.

Upon hearing this, Murui asked anxiously, "Won't there be any problems?"

"No, it only has advantages and no disadvantages. Snakes also hibernate, don't they?"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Lingzhou and Lu Tingchen returned. Xiao Ranran had just woken up and was lazily lying in Mu Rui's arms drinking water.

"Little darling."

"Beep beep."

Upon hearing Lu Lingzhou's voice, Xiao Ranran immediately raised her head, looked over, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Beep beep."

"Baba, hug."

The little dumpling stretched out its arms, looking like it wanted a hug.

Lu Lingzhou washed his hands, took off his coat, and then picked him up.

Holding the warm little guy and smelling his sweet milky scent, Lu Lingzhou was in a good mood.
