Chapter 1863: Xiao Feng - Xiao Huang (Edited)
After a long process, Xiao Xiao finally gave birth to two baby boys.
Neither baby cried when Xiao Yin took them out of Xiao Xiao’s womb. A faint, cold aura enveloped their bodies.
Feng Huang looked at the two babies with a gentle gaze, an expression she rarely showed to others. Although she had decided not to acknowledge them as her sons, the fact that she was their biological mother was undeniable.
In fact, Feng Huang wanted to acknowledge them as his sons, but he had to be mindful of Long Tianhuo’s feelings. After all, he was her husband who had saved her from death and given her two children. Meanwhile, Ling Yun was their son-in-law, so there was no way she could recognize their twin sons as hers.
Despite her decision not to acknowledge them as her sons, Feng Huang could never forget their blood ties, and she vowed to treat them well in her capacity as their ’grandmother’.
Long Tianhuo embraced his wife and rubbed her cold hands. Having been husband and wife for so long, he naturally understood her feelings for both babies. He knew his wife wanted to acknowledge them as her sons, but she decided to do so to respect his feelings and honor.
On the other hand, Long Feng felt awkward looking at his two little brothers. They were his biological siblings, yet they were also his nephews. After all, Feng Huang was his biological mother, and Ling Yun was his brother-in-law, so he found the presence of their children rather strange.
After both babies were clean, Ling Yun’s clone handed them over to Feng Huang. "Mother-in-law, Xiao Xiao and I have decided that you should be the one to name them."
Feng Huang stared at Ling Yun for a moment before accepting the two babies; she hugged and looked at them lovingly. In the past, she and her husband were forced to send Xiao Xiao away from their realm because of a terrible prophecy, which made them miss her growth from baby to adult woman.
After giving it some thought, Feng Huang looked at Ling Yun again. "Since you want to use the surname Xiao for them, their names shall be Xiao Feng and Xiao Huang."
Upon hearing those two names, Ling Yun and the others immediately understood Feng Huang’s intentions. Although she had decided not to acknowledge them as her sons and instead recognized them as her grandsons, they were still her biological sons.
"I think both names suit them." Long Tianhuo rubbed the cheeks of the two babies.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "From now on, their names will be Xiao Feng and Xiao Huang." ’Hey, system! Scan my children!’

After reading both statuses, Ling Yun told Feng Huang and Long Tianhuo. "They inherited my innate ability."
"Your fast regeneration?"
Ling Yun nodded. "My fast regeneration is kind of a cheat, and I can recover faster even if my injuries are quite serious."
"I see." Long Tianhuo looked at Feng Huang. "Isn’t that great, wife? In the past, it took you so long to recover from your injuries, right? With their fast regeneration abilities, the two babies will be much safer when they grow up."
Feng Huang nodded slightly. "Although their fast regeneration abilities allow them to recover faster than others, we cannot let them face too many dangers, and we must continue to protect them."
"Naturally, we won’t let them face life-threatening danger. Isn’t that right, son?"
"Of course." Ling Yun walked towards Xiao Xiao. "I’ll take Xiao’er back to her bedroom, and she can breastfeed them there."

Once they arrived at the bedroom, Ling Yun laid Xiao Xiao on the bed, and Feng Huang handed one of the babies to her.
Long Tianhuo sighed inwardly, embraced Ling Yun’s shoulders, and led him out.
Long Feng didn’t linger in the bedroom either; he immediately returned to the Thousand Beast Realm to continue his cultivation.
As she breastfed one of the babies, Xiao Xiao looked at Feng Huang and asked. "Are you sure you won’t regret your decision, Mother?"
"Why should I regret my decision?" Feng Huang asked in return, teasing the other baby. "Even though I won’t acknowledge them as my sons, I will always be there for them. Moreover, we can see each other at any time, so it makes no difference."
Xiao Xiao shook her head. "Of course it’s different, Mother. No matter what, they are your sons, yet you cannot call them ’son,’ and they cannot call you ’Mother’ either."
"It’s fine." Feng Huang’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as she said that. "I am your father’s wife, remember? I made this decision out of respect for his feelings, and I will never regret my choice. I hope you and Ling Yun will never tell them the truth, and you guys should let them think of me as their grandmother forever. The most important thing is my ice phoenix race, and my race will rise again under their leadership in the future."
Xiao Xiao sighed. "Alright, I won’t tell them the truth; I’ll keep it to myself. However, you must remember that the blood ties between the three of you cannot be hidden forever, and they might realize that you are their mother one day."
Naturally, Feng Huang was aware of the matter, but she didn’t think much about it. She was ready to face the consequences in the future. "Let things take their course, Xiao’er. If they realize the relationship between the three of us in the future, I will explain everything to them."
"Alright."
.
.
.
"Is there anything you want to say to me, father-in-law?"
Long Tianhuo turned to Ling Yun. "Although your mother-in-law has already decided like that, I want you to tell Huang’er and Feng’er that she is their biological mother once they are grown up."
"Actually, I’ve considered telling them the truth in the future, but I purposely didn’t mention the matter to my mother-in-law."
"If you tell your mother-in-law now, she will be furious with you, and she will distance herself from them." Long Tianhuo sighed. "I know she made that decision out of respect for my feelings and my dignity, but she’s overthinking things. In reality, I don’t have any negative thoughts about this matter; instead, I’m happy because of their presence. Even though they are her sons with you, the two of you don’t have an intimate relationship."
Ling Yun scratched his head. "Among all my wives, Su Fei was the only one who was married in the past, and our relationship started because of Wei Feng’s request. Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie also had husbands in the past, but they abandoned them for over a thousand years."
"Yun Mingyue was your late father’s wife at that time, right?"
"Haha," Ling Yun laughed. "My relationship with Yun Mingyue started from a grudge and hatred, father-in-law. If Ling Xiao had never thought of hurting my mother’s feelings, I wouldn’t have done that either."
Long Tianhuo nodded slightly; he was already very familiar with Ling Yun’s character. "What are your plans for the ice phoenix race in the future?"
"I don’t have any plans for now." Ling Yun paused. "My two newborn sons are ice phoenixes, but the problem is that there is no other female ice phoenix besides my mother-in-law in this universe. If they grow up and get married, their offspring will be half-breed again."
"That’s true." Long Tianhuo nodded in agreement. "Have you thought of another solution?"
"Not yet." Ling Yun suddenly remembered Xuanyuan Yue’s dreams. "By the way, Yue’er has an idea regarding that matter, and she’s trying to make it happen."
"Yue’er?"
"Xuanyuan Yue."
"What’s her idea?" Ling Yun explained his daughter’s plan to Long Tianhuo, which shocked him. "Is something like that really possible?"
"Xiao Yin helped her create the method, but we still have to wait for the results until she finishes building the device."
Long Tianhuo nodded. "If your daughter succeeds in turning her idea into reality, it will bring about a major change for this universe, and all extinct beasts will return to life."
"That’s true." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "Yue’er is too lazy to cultivate, yet she has many ideas that no one else has ever thought of. She even wants to create a flying artifact capable of traversing other universes, but unfortunately, the necessary materials to build it are difficult to find, and they probably don’t exist in our universe."
"Hahaha," Long Tianhuo laughed, patting his shoulder. "Won’t creating those materials be easy for you in the future? If you succeed in defeating Chaos and inheriting his abilities, you can create anything you want, including living creatures."
Ling Yun shook his head. "Even if I gain the ability to do such a thing in the future, it has never crossed my mind to create other living beings, Father-in-law. If I do that, the balance of this universe will be disrupted once again, and I do not want that to happen."
"You’re right." Long Tianhuo sighed. "What exactly is your daughter’s plan? Why does she want to create such a flying artifact?"
"She wanted to create it because of me and her mother." Ling Yun explained the details to Long Tianhuo. "Xue’er suffered a lot in the past, and she didn’t want her mother to suffer any more in the future, so she wanted to create the flying artifact."
"I see."
