Just as Liu Guanfeng was lost in thought, the door to Li Xiaohan's room was pushed open, and a young maid ran out, saying, "Reporting to the master, the doctor has delivered a daughter."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanfeng rushed into Li Xiaohan's room, where a midwife was holding a baby wrapped in a quilt.
Liu Guanfeng stepped up to the midwife, who gently handed the child to him. Although this was Liu Guanfeng's first child, he had always loved children in his previous life, so he knew how to hold a baby well. He carefully cradled his child in his arms and gently rocked her. Looking at the baby, whose eyes were not fully open yet, Liu Guanfeng couldn't help but smile widely.
At that moment, Li Xiaohan's weak voice called out, "Let me see the baby."
Liu Guanfeng walked softly to the bedside and placed the child in her hands. He then gently stroked Li Xiaohan's hair and said, "Xiaohan, you’ve suffered."
Li Xiaohan looked tired but radiated maternal warmth as she shook her head and replied, "It’s not hard. Everything I do for you is worth it."
Unable to resist, Liu Guanfeng leaned down and kissed Li Xiaohan on the forehead. Just then, a louder cry from another baby echoed in the room. Liu Guanfeng glanced at Li Xiaohan, who smiled and said, "Perhaps your sister has also given birth; you should go check on her."
"Okay, you need to rest more," Liu Guanfeng replied before glancing at their sleeping daughter and stepping out of Li Xiaohan's room directly into Zhang Yuru's room.
By this time, the child had already been taken by Nangong Rong, who had arrived earlier. Zhang Yuru was as weak as Li Xiaohan but was physically stronger due to her martial arts training. She smiled as she looked at the baby in Nangong Rong's arms.
"Yuru, you’ve worked hard."
Zhang Yuru shook her head slightly and said, "It's not hard; I'm very happy now that I’ve become a mother." Afterward, under Nangong Rong's strong insistence, Zhang Yuru went to rest while both babies were naturally handed over to the wet nurse.
When Liu Guanfeng walked out of Zhang Yuru's room, he saw Liu Yong'an pacing back and forth on the ground, happily exclaiming, "I have a grandson! I have a granddaughter! This is wonderful; now there are two! The heavens are good to our Liu family! Haha!"
"Alright, stop laughing. We don't want anyone to hear the joke. Quickly think of something serious," Nangong Rong said unhappily, noticing Liu Yong'an's expression.
Liu Yong'an was taken aback by Nangong Rong's words. "Serious matter? What serious matter? Haven't we just had the babies?"
"Just because the babies are born doesn't mean there are no serious matters. Your precious grandson and granddaughter still need names."
Liu Yong'an slapped his forehead. "You're right! How could I forget such an important thing? I need to think carefully about what names to give them. According to the family tree, Xiaofeng's generation has a character name, and the next generation has a golden character. What should we call Liu Jin something..."
Nangong Rong smiled slightly. "Since two children were born today, adding a dragon and a phoenix to our Liu Family, how about calling them Jinlong and Golden Phoenix? What do you think, old man?"
"Jinlong and Golden Phoenix? Good, good, good names! Let's call them Jinlong and Golden Phoenix then. Xiaofeng, what do you think?"
"Anything is fine as long as you two like it."
"Like it? Why wouldn't we like it? You have to know how long we've been waiting for this grandson. Your elder brother and Second Brother are both useless; otherwise, why would we have waited until now?" Liu Yong'an complained.
"Father, Mother, shouldn't you also be arranging wives for Elder Brother and Second Brother?"
Liu Yong'an replied angrily, "I'm not concerned about those two anymore. Now that I have a grandson and granddaughter, I can ignore those two brats who never let me rest easy."
"Father, don't say that. Elder Brother and Second Brother are both Divine Envoys of Starfall Kingdom now. If they want to find wives, there will definitely be many people lining up to present their daughters to them; it's just that they haven't found the right ones yet."
Just as Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu entered with several guards, all carrying a large number of boxes. However, at that moment, Liu Yong'an was facing away from them and didn't notice anyone had come in.
"Didn't find a suitable one? Then how did you manage to? Are they both too foolish? Tomorrow, I'll tell them that within two years, they must also give me a chubby grandson, or else don't blame me for skinning them alive."
Liu Yong'an's words sent a chill down Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu's spines. They knew that Liu Yong'an always meant what he said. Although their strength far surpassed Liu Yong'an's at this moment, they were still his sons, and filial piety was something everyone had to adhere to, no exceptions even for the Divine Envoy.
After hearing Liu Yong'an's words, the two brothers could only approach with bitter smiles: "Father, Mother."
Liu Yong'an turned around and snorted upon seeing his two sons: "Did you hear what I just said?"
"We heard."
"Don't say I didn't warn you. Just because you are Divine Envoys now, it doesn't mean I can't discipline my sons."
The brothers quickly exchanged glances seeking help from Liu Guanfeng, who looked innocently at his two older brothers. Although it seemed like Liu Guanfeng was teasing them, deep down he genuinely hoped that his brothers would settle down soon.
Eventually, it was under Nangong Rong's persuasion that Liu Yong'an managed to calm down. At this point, Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu approached Liu Guanfeng to congratulate him.
Just as the family was happily discussing together, a guard rushed in: "Reporting to the master, someone from the emperor has come to deliver a decree."
Following that, a eunuch-like figure appeared before Liu Guanfeng and the others to read the decree. The main content of the decree was that due to Liu Guanfeng's joyous occasion of having a son, Sun Liang awarded him one hundred thousand gold coins, along with many fine silks and a large quantity of precious medicinal supplements.
After throwing some gold coins at the eunuch to send him away, Liu Guanfeng moved everything into his room. To express his gratitude towards Sun Liang, that afternoon Liu Guanfeng personally visited the palace and briefly introduced his recent events to Sun Liang, mentioning that the culprit Qin Hongguan had already been captured.
Upon returning from the palace, Liu Guanfeng began living a happy life with both a son and a daughter. His greatest joy each day was to play with his daughter and hold his son.
After Liu Yong'an and his wife welcomed their grandson, they became even happier, laughing continuously every day. Sometimes, when Liu Guanfeng looked at Liu Yong'an and Nangong Rong, he couldn't help but think of his mother in another world. He was already over thirty then and still had not started a family. Although his mother never voiced it, Liu Guanfeng knew that no elder disliked the life of having grandchildren around.
Thus, Liu Guanfeng made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he would return to honor his mother and allow her to enjoy the happiness of having grandchildren.
Since the arrival of the girl, Liu Guanfeng had hardly left his residence. He was not idle at home either; every day he either spent time with his children or worked in the blacksmith and carpentry shops he had built. There, Liu Guanfeng racked his brains to create toys that did not exist in this world for his children.
Moreover, Liu Guanfeng sent people to various Merchant Guilds to collect a large amount of animal skins and cotton, as girls were better off playing with dolls. Under Liu Guanfeng's guidance, Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru joined the toy-making endeavor. The two mothers crafted many dolls based on Liu Guanfeng's ideas, and as their skills improved, the dolls became increasingly lifelike. Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng made wooden horses, wooden swords, marionettes, and other toys for his children. Thanks to his efforts, the first children's tricycle in Knight's Great Land was born.
When Liu Guanfeng unveiled the tricycle, everyone was astonished; they had never seen such an exquisite toy before. The tricycle was also beautifully decorated, making it particularly attractive.
In addition to the tricycle, Liu Guanfeng created several other novel items that amazed everyone: skateboards, roller skates, cool mouse scooters—anything he could think of, he would personally craft for his children.
A small room appeared in Liu Guanfeng's residence filled with various toys he had made for his children. He also crafted two cradles for them.
These cradles were rocking beds, and Liu Guanfeng was delighted to see that his little treasures seemed to love them very much. Whenever they were placed in the beds, they would quickly fall asleep, leaving the nurses astonished.
In the blink of an eye, two months of peaceful life passed quickly. Although each day involved doing the same things, Liu Guanfeng did not find it tedious; perhaps this was the happiness that came from being a father and doing anything for one's children.
During this time, both Starfall Kingdom and Five Star Nation saw many visitors coming to see Liu Guanfeng. The supplements he received from these visitors filled an entire warehouse. Some even wanted to arrange a betrothal for their children with him. However, from Liu Guanfeng's modern perspective, such arrangements seemed absurd; even Bao Rui's proposal was politely declined by him.
Liu Guanfeng simply said: "Let the children decide these matters themselves; we cannot impose our will as parents onto them."
Though it was just this one statement, it caused all those who wished to arrange betrothals with Liu Guanfeng to instinctively close their mouths. This statement also changed many children's lives forever.
A peaceful life is ultimately beautiful, yet fleeting. While Liu Guanfeng was comfortably crafting toys for his child, a person rushed in from outside—Chonghong.
"Report to the master, just now His Majesty has decreed that you are to enter the palace to meet him."
"Why the urgency to enter the palace? Is there something going on recently?"
"In response to the master, it seems that the eunuch in charge of announcements said that the Imperial Envoy from the Eastern Dragon Empire is coming to our Starfall Kingdom, which is why His Majesty is so eager for you to enter the palace."
"Do you know who the Imperial Envoy from the Eastern Dragon Empire is?"
"It seems to be the Sixth Prince Shangguan Junhong."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly: "It looks like my second brother is bringing me a gift. Go tell that announcing eunuch that I will change my clothes and then head to the palace; let him return first."
"Yes, master." After Chonghong finished speaking, he turned and left Liu Guanfeng's Blacksmith Shop.
Liu Guanfeng slowly stood up and walked out of the Blacksmith Shop. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he was fully prepared before riding his mount, XP, away from home. Ever since he learned that XP could fly, Liu Guanfeng had grown fond of riding it. After all, when he first took in Little Black, he felt a bit reluctant since it was still his beloved senior brother; riding around on his senior brother all the time felt a bit off.
Now it was great that XP could fly, and its speed was definitely not inferior to Little Black's. So whenever Liu Guanfeng went out, he mostly rode XP, although Little Black still closely followed behind him.
The trio quickly arrived at the palace gates. The soldiers guarding the entrance all recognized Liu Guanfeng. Upon seeing him, they immediately saluted. Liu Guanfeng nodded in acknowledgment and continued riding XP forward until he reached the main hall of the palace. He jumped down from XP's back, and before Liu Guanfeng could steady himself, an Imperial Guard rushed in front of him.
