After Su Jinxiu took the Pregnant Mother Grass, her entire body's spiritual power was sealed, turning her into an ordinary human.
Once she gave birth, this seal would transfer to the child, locking away the demon bloodline and allowing her to maintain her human form.
If this seal were to be lost, her human bloodline would inevitably be devoured by the stronger demon bloodline, making it impossible to maintain her human form. She would eventually transform into a small demon that had not yet taken human form, perhaps a cute little skeleton.
Furthermore, this seal would essentially block any path to cultivation.
This was also why many demon women, during childbirth, would directly pass on their own cultivation to their children, using their own cultivation as a guide to lead their child onto the path of cultivation. This method was highly beneficial for the child, not only improving their aptitude but also allowing them to achieve twice the results with half the effort on their cultivation journey.
However, this method was very unkind to the demon mother. As her spiritual power dissipated, it was akin to being roasted by fire, cut by a thousand knives. She would revert to her original form, her cultivation once a flowing river now turned to spilled water. She would once again become a dazed beast, or thoughtless plants and rocks. The sacrifice was truly immense.
This was also why Liu Nanfeng disagreed with Su Jinxiu doing this. If she were to do so, it would be equivalent to Liu Nanfeng losing her completely.
If the world had not undergone a cataclysm, Xiao Jinhua could have lived a peaceful life, with him and Su Jinxiu looking after her. He believed she would have lived a happy life.
But now it was different. The world had changed, and Liu Nanfeng hoped to guide Xiao Jinhua onto the path of cultivation, at least giving her the ability to protect herself.
Moreover, he had observed that Xiao Jinhua's aptitude was not bad. It would be a true pity if she were unable to cultivate because of this.
"Is there hope?" Su Jinxiu asked with a face full of anticipation.
She also did not want her daughter to be mediocre her entire life.
"There is great hope," Liu Nanfeng replied.
He already had a slight idea. The information contained within this seal was vast. To fully decipher it was extremely difficult and time-consuming.
But since Xiao Jinhua possessed his bloodline, he would use a clever method to transfer the seal to himself.
He himself was extremely special and had already stepped onto the path of cultivation, so he did not fear such a seal. If it truly came down to it, he could transfer it to Liu Zonghe or Yu Huilan, who had not yet cultivated. Their aptitude was very poor, and it was unlikely they would ever step onto the path of cultivation in this lifetime, so it would have no impact on them whatsoever.
Of course, these were all Liu Nanfeng's assumptions. The actual implementation was still fraught with difficulties, and Xiao Jinhua was still too young. Any slightest accident could harm her. Therefore, even if he were to perform such a technique, he would have to wait until she was a bit older.
However, Liu Nanfeng's words still filled Su Jinxiu with confidence, as this had been a lingering worry for her.
She had insisted on giving birth to her daughter in this manner. With the dramatic changes in heaven and earth, she could only live a mediocre life. As she grew up, she might blame her.
Even if she didn't blame her, she felt very guilty.
"Then you work hard," Su Jinxiu said, leaning over and kissing Liu Nanfeng's cheek.
Turning her head, she saw Gu Gu covering her eyes with her hands, fingers spread wide, peeking through the gaps.
"Gugu..."
She seemed to be saying "Shy."
Su Jinxiu smiled and stroked her little head, saying, "Gu Gu, you have to work hard too. You have to protect your sister in the future."
"Gugu..."
Hearing this, Gu Gu immediately clenched her small fists, indicating that she was trying her best.
"Oh? Have you taught Gu Gu cultivation?" Liu Nanfeng asked, slightly surprised.
But he wasn't entirely surprised. Gu Gu was a delightful little girl, and her talent was terrifying. Through her mixed bloodline, she had managed to comprehend a divine ability, directly capturing fragments of time she had experienced. It was truly frightening.
If she were to truly mature completely, he would not be exaggerating to say that she could achieve existence in any timeline that had ever existed.
"Yes, Gu Gu is working hard."
Su Jinxiu praised her. Gu Gu lowered her head a little shyly, embarrassed by the compliment.
"Let me eat first," Liu Nanfeng said, taking Gu Gu's hand and walking inside.
Su Jinxiu followed behind, holding the baby.
"By the way, what did you gain enlightenment on just now?" Liu Nanfeng asked curiously.
"I gained enlightenment on the principle that what has reached its peak will decline, and extremes will reverse," Su Jinxiu said lightly.
In truth, everyone understood this principle, but very few could truly integrate it into themselves.
"That's similar to your previous concept of returning from death."
"Yes, I've integrated it into my previous insights to perfect my path," Su Jinxiu replied as a matter of course.
Liu Nanfeng looked up at the sky, puzzled. "There's no moon here. How did you come up with the idea of waxing and waning?"
"I saw the reflection in the water, which reminded me of the moon reflected in water, and then I thought of the moon's waxing and waning..."
Su Jinxiu's matter-of-fact demeanor left Liu Nanfeng utterly speechless. Could one really have epiphanies through such associations?
Generally, epiphanies came from observing nature, summarizing patterns, and a gradual buildup leading to a sudden realization.
How could one have an epiphany just by casually thinking about something?
If measured by game data, Su Jinxiu's comprehension would likely be maxed out.
"Time to eat, Daddy will carry you."
Entering the house, Gu Gu was the first to run to her seat.
In the center of the small room was a round clay table, with several wooden stools beside it.
Both the table and the stools were full of life. Tiny green plants grew all around them, looking as if they were covered with a green carpet, which was quite interesting.
Xiao Jinhua, who had just been carried by Liu Nanfeng, seemed to open her eyes due to the movement. Her gaze immediately fell upon a small yellow flower blooming at the corner of the table.
"Wah wah..." she cried, reaching out her little paws as if to grab it.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Liu Nanfeng directly plucked the small flower and placed it in her tiny hand.
She glanced at the small flower in her hand, mumbled a couple of times, closed her eyes, and soon, a faint snore could be heard.
Liu Nanfeng: ...
"She's such a little pig. She falls asleep that quickly?" Liu Nanfeng was somewhat speechless.
"Put her in the cradle and let her sleep soundly."
Liu Nanfeng got up and placed her in the nearby cradle.
Su Jinxiu picked up her bowl of rice and asked while eating, "Is business at the shop okay? Has anything major happened outside?"
"Major?"
Liu Nanfeng then remembered that he hadn't told her about what had happened outside.
He sat down again and said, "More than major, it's been a complete upheaval."
"What happened?" Su Jinxiu asked, pausing her eating and looking puzzled.
"Gugu... Gugu..."
Gu Gu paid no mind to this, burying her head and continuing to eat ravenously, especially Liu Nanfeng's braised pork, which left her face smeared with oil.
Liu Nanfeng told her everything that had happened outside, even recounting his trip to see Little Carp alone.
Su Jinxiu merely raised an eyebrow when she heard that Liu Nanfeng had been alone with Zhu Yin'e, but she didn't say anything more.
However, she did feel a sense of unease about the impending drastic changes in the world.
