Weapon seller in the world of magic

Everyone was just appalled by Mark’s playful tone and speaking to the baby. King Shen couldn’t help but become happier as he watched the scene. Even Song Yue was taken aback as she didn’t see him talking in the same way to Lu Shan, ever. Well, he did show his love and use his playful tone from time to time, but not to this level. The current scenario was a little bit too for even her.

Mark, meanwhile, forgot his surroundings for a moment and continued to calm her down. Once she calmed down and fell asleep due to exhaustion, he finally paid attention to the boy in the arms of Song Yue. He reached out to his hand and looked at the bruise, ”You’re hurt, son?” As Lu Shan shook his head and said, ”She didn’t like me?” Mark shook his head, ”It’s just the chaos energy. Your sister was just afraid.”

”Chaos energy, what is it?” Lu Shan tilted his head in wonder. Mark didn’t say it but gazed at Song Yue as if he was asking for an explanation.

Song Yue hurriedly changed the topic, ”Nothing, you stay here with Dad. Your sister needs sleep.”

She kept him down and took the baby girl from Mark’s hands in a hurry, returning to the room to put her beside an exhausted Shen Ling.

Mark handed him to King Shen, who missed his opportunity to hold his only granddaughter, and before he voiced it out, he was given the baby boy and Mark followed her into the room. There’s blood all over the mattress and some on the floor. Her life force looked quite weak.

”Lord Lu, please wait for a while.”

”Markie… why are you here? Go outside…”

”We need to talk,” Mark said to her.

”We will talk later. You go,” Song Yue proceeded to sit beside Shen Ling. Mark stared at her for a few seconds before the maids once again requested him to leave and he could only turn around to leave the room.

After a while, Song Yue was seen searching for Mark all over the palace while the rest were waiting in the dining hall.

In the end, she found him in Shen Ling’s room, sitting before the crib and watching the baby while Shen Ling was sleeping. The maids pretty much stood outside like guards but as silent as a robot, not even moving from their spot.

”Markie…” As she called him out, Mark put his finger on his lips, ”Shhh… don’t shout. Emilia’s sleeping.” He spoke in a hushed tone, going back to watching her with all smiles.

Song Yue approached him and whispered, ”You are now really been acting creepy, now.”

Mark blinked twice in surprise, looking at her, ”What do you mean by creepy? I was just watching my lovely daughter, you know.” His face became sadder as he turned to look at the baby, ”soon, I would be leaving her. If she is anything like Xiao Shan, I will miss her first walk, her first words, well… sigh… who knows how long it will be. A month, two months, or even a year?” Stay tuned to freewebnovel

Song Yue’s expression also dimmed upon hearing those words, feeling bad to call it creepy earlier. She hugged his arm and spoke in a hushed tone, too, in order not to make noise, ”Why don’t you forget it and just settle down? You even found your brother.”

Mark shook his head, ”No, I can’t. Anan is also our family. I have to go and bring him back. And I made a promise to Grand-uncle. I would have to take him too.”

”But, Anan has gone to his real family. Yes, we faced a loss, but if you go to that place and fight a war, I’m afraid there would be consequences. And isn’t your dream to actually have a peaceful life without intending to fight for your survival or revenge or anything? Well, you are almost there.” As Song Yue worried about the outcome of his intentions to soon start his war against Golden Demon Cat, the self-proclaimed goddess of felines, Mark sighed again, softly caressing the baby girl’s cheek, ”I guess my dream keeps changing. Sure, we have peace at the moment, and as long as I stay here, I can keep trouble away from the rest of our lives, but we have to do what’s right.Remember 3 years ago when I saved you from your house arrest? I was weak back then and certainly didn’t have the strength to go against the imperial family. But I did it because it was the right thing to do, and of course, it was a request from Lin Xue, but that’s another thing to worry about. Anyway, if I hadn’t done that back then, we wouldn’t have been together, and I would be still burning in revenge against my birth parents.”

”Yeah, I guess a lot of our lives because of that one decision,” Song Yue tightly hugged his arm with a smile, reminiscing about the past, before something clicked in her head and asked, ”By the way, I wonder why do you call her Emilia? I think her naming ceremony will happen on the 3rd day of the birth, according to Shen Dynasty traditions. You can’t call her by her official name as it would be considered a bad omen.”

Mark replied, ”Well, Shen Ling and I talked, and we decided that she would take after her maternal surname, and I can give her a pet name if I want. And you know, Emilia is my late mother’s name from my previous life.”

”Oh, great… Now I can’t scold her if she ever done mischief, cuz I would be scolding my mother-in-law. You found a perfect way to pamper your little princess, Markie.” ”C’mon, my Schatz, she’s only 6 hours old, and you are already thinking about her mischiefs already?”

”Well… you know… how kids are… And they grow up as the princes of the strongest empire in the world, and you know… she… she is also going to be the crown princess… and I don’t think you will ever bring yourself to be tough with your little lightning princess… well… you see… where it goes…” Song Yue was trying hard to defend her comment with all logic she could find and Mark stared at her in sudden realization. ”What?” She asked when he saw him looking at her strangely…

”Schatz, don’t tell me you are jealous of Emilia?” Mark knew her more than anyone in the world and he doesn’t need the support of an AI to figure that out either.

”Wha… What do you mean by jealous? Why would I be jealous of a little baby? She’s also my daughter, you know… I… I… I…” Song Yue saw the constant stare on her face from Mark, and in the end, she looked away and said. ”I guess I’m a little bit jealous.” She was blushing in embarrassment for accepting the truth. ”You always say that you love me the most, more than even our son, but I feel like I’m number 2 now. I don’t know it’s just… I know I’m crazy…”

”Well, I guess daughters are built differently for fathers, but hey…” Mark grabbed her face and said, as he looked into her eyes, ”You will always be my number one priority, my Schatz.” He went on kissing her lips. Song Yue closed her eyes and as they started kissing, they heard a groan and immediately separated.

Shen Ling’s voice followed up, ”You guys go and get a room. It’s disgusting if you start making out in the same room while I and my baby are sleeping.” Her eyes were still closed though.

”Oh my god… she is awake…” Song Yue whispered aloud.

”Yes, I am,” replied Shen Ling with a groan, not moving an inch from the spot. ”And Honey…”

”Yes?”

”You told me that our daughter won’t have any unexpected powers like Lu Shan. She has lightning powers; her electric current burst is at least on the same level as a peak stage 3-circle. We will talk about that tomorrow. Now, both of them shoo off and let me sleep.”

”Sorry” ”Sorry”

Two days later, on the third day, the baby girl was formally named Shen Yi.

And one month later, in the same city of Lunaris, the grand banquet was arranged.

The Banquet was arranged by King Shen Niu, probably the most expensive banquet that ever happened in the Western Moon Kingdom, costing as much as 1,500,000 gold coins, which put quite a dent in the treasury.

And, it saw the appearances of all members of the Shang family except for the former second prince, Mark’s immortal younger brother from past life and wife, all the vassal lords of the Federation, including Shi En, all super wealthy merchants from the continent, and even Lan Ju left his place as the guardian of Beast Continent and traveled halfway over the world for the banquet. However, there was just one person that was missing.

It’s Sylvandria, who was supposedly also the godmother of Shen Yi.

All the adult guests arrived at the banquet one after another, although separated by their genders because of the kingdom’s ancient customs, which Mark had to accept because they were family. Mark couldn’t find her through the space station’s third eye either because of her divinity, although he briefly knew that she was within a 100 km range only.

But, the time was running out and she didn’t arrive as Mark expected.

Instead, an uninvited person suddenly made an entrance and Mark disappeared from the Banquet, making others wonder where he was.

He was with a hooded mysterious figure in the former mansion of Mark’s, sitting in front of her. ”So, what did you come for, Xin Rui, and what is it so urgent that you couldn’t wait until the end of this Banquet?”

The hooded figure lowered it down to reveal her face, ”Two things. One is to ask for a personal favor, which I will tell you about later. And second, I’m here to give you a warning.” Turning grim-faced, she spoke, ”The Behemoth is coming for you.”

”Uhh… Who?”
