Ye Shikai reflects on his past actions and reassures Chen Yuxin, sharing his experiences from the Qin Dynasty. Chen Yuxin accepts his past, focusing on their present relationship. Four months later, Ye Shikai anxiously awaits the birth of their child in the hospital.

Ye Shikai was quite excited, pacing back and forth, but at the same time, he was a bit anxious. He was a father now, and everything felt like a dream. He seemed not quite prepared to be a father, and he even doubted whether he was dreaming now.

"Mr. Ye, the woman is currently weak, but you can go in and see her." After a while, the doctor said to Ye Shikai.

"That’s great, thank you doctor." Ye Shikai entered the delivery room. Chen Yuxin was lying on the bed, her face pale, with several nurses attending to her.

Even for cultivators, giving birth is a painful process, but at least there wouldn’t be complications, and with a cultivator’s physical constitution, recovery after childbirth would be quick.

"Xin, you’ve worked hard." Ye Shikai came to the bed, gently holding Chen Yuxin’s hand. The child lay quietly next to her; he was a boy and looked quite healthy.

"Kai, look at him, so cute." Despite her weakness, Chen Yuxin looked at the child beside her and showed a joyful smile. Ye Shikai looked at this child; his mouth was like his, and his eyes followed Chen Yuxin’s.

"Alright, you rest well here for a few days. The doctor said you’re very weak now and should recuperate. After some time, you’ll be able to leave the hospital."

"Okay, then stay by my side." Ye Shikai comforted her, looking at the baby beside him. His heart calmed down as well. Suddenly having a son, he wasn’t quite prepared, but who isn’t like this? After some time, everything would be normal.

Late night.

"Kai, what do you plan to name the child?" Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.

"Yeah, um... I haven’t thought about it." Ye Shikai chuckled bitterly. He had forgotten such a big matter like naming the child. It’s understandable, he had been excited and somehow forgot about it.

"You’re the child’s father, you should certainly come up with a name for him."

"Actually... I don’t have any good ideas either." Ye Shikai considered himself not much of an artistic youth; names could be trivial or significant. It’s the child’s name, yet it represents the parents’ hopes for the child.

"Then just think of one." Chen Yuxin urged.

"Let me think... how about calling him Ye Yi." After thinking for a long time, this name suddenly came to mind. Ye Yi, a name he once used to pass unnoticed as ’Ye Yi’, now he straightforwardly names his son ’Ye Yi’.

"Ye Yi, Ye Yi, alright, I’ll go with yours." Chen Yuxin murmured the name, not refusing it. She had originally planned for Ye Shikai to choose the name.

Ye Shikai looked at little Ye Yi beside him, filled with emotion. Having a child meant he had a complete family. The responsibility on his shoulders increased significantly. Both he and Chen Yuxin were not ordinary people, thus didn’t have to worry about various expenses for raising the child. He didn’t even need to work. Whether his assets or the Chen family’s assets were enough for several generations of ordinary families to aspire to, even so, he still felt "anxious". Little Ye Yi’s parents are not ordinary people; they could live a wealthy, lavish life but being born into such a family is itself a huge pressure. Ye Shikai only hopes that his child can live a peaceful and ordinary life.

The following day.

Ye Shikai woke up early. Chen Yuxin still needed to rest, so he didn’t disturb her. He walked out of the room quietly but unexpectedly a group of "old friends" arrived.

"Nightmare, Ghost, Soul Destroyer, Demoness, and you, Old Wang." Ye Shikai said excitedly. He didn’t expect the Netherworld Palace members to come, at least so fast. Soon after, Worm and Zi Yun followed, carrying many gifts.

"Haha, Old Ye, having a son and not telling us to come over?" Wang Kai went up and gave Ye Shikai a big hug. They hadn’t seen each other for months. During Chen Yuxin’s delivery period, Ye Shikai had not left Yanjing.

"You were busy recruiting abroad. I was worried about disturbing you."

"Boss, the situation is stable now. The strength of the Three Temples has been restored. Now, we’re evenly matched with the Sea King Palace." Nightmare detailed the happenings of the past few months to Ye Shikai. Now, the power of the Netherworld Palace had transformed remarkably. In recent times, Nightmare had been actively recruiting, training them, and investigating Doris and Aphrodite’s movements.

"This time we came to Yanjing to see you, Boss, and little nephew as well." Ghost came from the East Sea, so he was quicker than the others.

"Yes, we brought gifts too."

"Alright, the child and Xin are resting inside. We haven’t seen each other for a while. We should find a place to have a good meal."

"Okay."

..................

Zhu Xi Hotel.

"Come, cheers."

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

"Old Ye, what do you plan to do next?" Wang Kai drank the wine in his cup and suddenly asked Ye Shikai beside him.

"Xin has given birth, as a father, I should naturally stay by her side. As for other matters, I haven’t considered them for now." Ye Shikai replied directly.

"This..."

Upon hearing Ye Shikai’s response, everyone at the table showed a pensive expression.

"If you have anything to say, speak freely." Having been together for a long time, Ye Shikai understood them quite well and could see they had unsaid thoughts.

"Boss, we are strengthening our forces, but sooner or later there will be a battle to the death with Doris and Aphrodite. When it reaches that point, I hope you can lend me a hand." Nightmare spoke frankly.

"Doris." Thinking of her, a surge of anger rose in Ye Shikai’s heart.

"You’re right; sooner or later, we’ll have a confrontation with them, and it will be a significant battle, enough to shake the entire Underworld. When the time comes, I will definitely participate." Ye Shikai stated firmly. The conflict between him and Doris and Aphrodite was already irreconcilable, but he needed to stay with Chen Yuxin and the child now. The decisive battle would happen, but not soon.

"What a lively scene." At this time, a chilly voice came from the doorway, everyone turned to look and stood up.

"Lord Moon God."

"Qian, you came as well." Ye Shikai hadn’t expected Ji Qian to come, and was somewhat surprised.

"I heard you have a son. Should I not come and congratulate you?" Ji Qian raised her glass from the table and drank it all.
