Chapter 261.1

This day is a special day for Wuling City.

First, Feng Shao, the city lord of Wuling City, returned safely after his trip to Qiankun Palace, one of the top ten forbidden areas.

Second, Wuling City now has someone to bear the title of young city lord. The city lord’s wife, Lin Xiaoran, has given birth to a son!

Congratulations were in order.

Congratulations!

——————————

After seeing the child, Lin Xiaoran’s eyes showed joy. Although the child looked wrinkled and it was not good-looking at all, it was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

This is the son she gave birth to for her brother Shao!

Not long after, Feng Shao was finally allowed to enter the room. As soon as he entered the room, Feng Shao hurried to Lin Xiaoran’s side, gently held Lin Xiaoran’s little hand, and said softly, “Ran’er, you have worked so hard.”

Lin Xiaoran shook her head and smiled as she said, “Brother Shao, come and see our child!”

Feng Shao nodded and took the child from Xiao Ruoyao’s arms.

The little guy cried for a while after he was born, and then he suddenly fell into a deep sleep. Feng Shao teased the child’s face and sighed, “You little guy, look at how you tortured your mother. In the future, you must be filial to your mother, understand?”

Lin Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh and speak up, “How can such a young child understand those things? I don’t expect him to be filial to me in the future. I just hope that he will live a peaceful life. I will be satisfied with just that.”

At this point, Lin Xiaoran felt a wave of sleepiness rising in her body. But she still forced herself to keep her eyes open, and asked Feng Shao softly, “Brother Shao, give the child a name!”

Feng Shao hesitated for a moment and said, “Feng Lingyu… Ran’er, what do you think of this name?”

Lin Xiaoran repeated the name several times, and then she smiled and said, “This name sounds nice. Then his name will be Feng Lingyu! By the way, brother Shao, there is another little guy who also needs your name.”

“There’s another one?” Feng Shao looked at Lin Xiaoran in surprise, only to see Lin Xiaoran carefully picking up the little phoenix that had just fallen asleep beside her. The little phoenix probably felt the movement and was slightly awakened. It raised its head and looked around. Seeing that nothing serious had happened, it lowered its head and continued to sleep.

Feng Shao asked in surprise, “What is this?”

The newborn phoenix looked like a chick, except that it was bright red and faintly blazing. But Feng Shao would not underestimate this little guy because he could clearly feel the extraordinary blood in this little guy, even though he could not feel what this blood was for a while.

Lin Xiaoran said weakly, “Brother Shao, have you forgotten? This is the phoenix egg you gave me! But now it has hatched.”

“It hatched today?”

“Yes, it was just hatched, born almost at the same time as Yu’er.”

Feng Shao carefully took the sleeping little phoenix, his eyes showing surprise. He had only seen the phoenix in ancient books. As for the real phoenix, probably no one in the current era of the world has seen it. But according to word of mouth, the phoenix is ​​the king of birds, and its status is comparable to that of a true dragon. It must be a majestic beast. But this one in front of him… why does it look so much like a little chick?

There is not a single bit of the legendary majesty of the phoenix.

If he took this little guy out to show others and told them that it was a phoenix chick, no one would believe it, right?

Feng Shao pondered for a while and said, “Since you hatched it, let’s name it with your surname Lin! What do you think of calling it Lin Huang’er?”

Hearing the words “Lin Huang’er,” the little phoenix seemed to have noticed something because it suddenly raised its head ignorantly and glanced at Feng Shao. But then, it lowered its head and fell asleep again.

“Lin Huang’er? That’s a good name. But brother Shao, how do you know it’s a female bird?”

“Ah, this…” Feng Shao was also stunned. He just subconsciously thought that this should be a female bird, without any basis. But then again, how can they tell the gender of this chick?

The couple looked at each other, both of them confused.

Xiao Ruoyao couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the two of them blankly staring at each other for a while. She said with a smile, “In fact, you can’t tell the gender of this spirit bird just by looking at it. But we cultivators naturally have our own methods.”

Feng Shao quickly bowed to Xiao Ruoyao and said, “Please give me some advice, mother-in-law.”

Xiao Ruoyao said to Feng Shao, “I remember that you have some accomplishments in deduction, right? You can use deduction to identify whether this chick is a male or a female.”

Feng Shao: “…”

He actually forgot the fact that this method existed.

After deduction, the gender of the little phoenix was determined.

It was indeed a female bird.
