Song Cheng nodded helplessly.

An Chenyu suddenly remembered something and said nervously, "What about An? Will An...?"

Song Cheng replied, "I’ll talk to Madam Tong about this and to Ying and Ling as well. But Ling won’t do. Ling might be possessed by the Fox Immortal."

"Is the Fox Immortal untrustworthy?"

"Not necessarily, I just don’t want even the slightest possibility of a leak," Song Cheng recalled that Su Ningyu’s favorability was only "99," not "100."

An Chenyu nodded solemnly.

Then the couple exchanged a look and quickly sprang into action.

An Chenyu sent someone to the street to buy various toys.

Song Cheng hurriedly disposed of the "leather bird" and "leather rabbit," then went next door to talk to Madam Tong and Ying about the matter.

Madam Tong, upon hearing this, was dazed for a moment. She then looked at the baby boy sleeping soundly in her arms and said, "An is fine, I haven’t noticed these things."

Ying, next to her, nodded repeatedly.

She could clearly feel the difference between the two children, and thus said, "The little miss has loved painting from a young age, and painting on animal hides, while the little master is different."

Song Cheng gazed at his two children, and suddenly a conjecture formed in his heart.

He glanced at his own panel:

[Forbidden]

1. Blessing of the Drowning Ghost

2. Peering of the Human Skin Ghost

’[Forbidden] affects the soul.

Is it possible that when I planted the seed of life within Sister An, I also planted these two types of soul transformations?

Could this soul mutation be naturally inherited by Ting?

And this kind of soul mutation inheritance, could it be either a one-time thing or completely random?

It just so happened to pass on to Ting, but not to An.’

Song Cheng pondered silently.

However, this was purely his own wild guess, and the truth of the matter would have to be seen in the future.

...

Ting’s matter was also temporarily concluded.

Any animal hides or toys such as cloth dolls and figurines became forbidden objects within the depths of the An Residence.

These items were absolutely not allowed to be brought into the house.

Fortunately, although Ting was unhappy, she was only forbidden from interacting with those "stuffed dolls" or "animal hides." Her parents did not forbid her from painting.

Besides, she gained quite a few other toys.

The talented Ling also began to show her other skills like "singing, dancing, tea-making, playing chess, papercutting, making wind chimes, and crafting sachets"...

Moreover, Ting also had to learn to walk.

Soon, the sadness of "being forbidden to do something" disappeared without a trace.

Song Cheng and Miss An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the deep confines of the An Residence involved many industries in Hanping Prefecture, gradually, more and more people began to visit the residence.

During the day, Song Cheng went out for military training, and Ying would accompany him.

An Chenyu and Tong Jia would usually have one stay behind to care for the two kids with Ling, while the other went to the An Family’s front yard to receive visitors.

If things got really busy, both would head to the front yard and might travel by carriage to see things on site. At such times, Ling would take care of the two children alone.

Of course, sometimes Song Cheng would not go for military training and would stay home to care for the kids.

Zhao Hua’s wife frequently visited, carrying their baby daughter.

The days passed in this monotonous, hurried, yet uneventful cycle, everything flowing like water in the mundane passage of time.

Though lacking the profound and unforgettable, upon careful thought, each day seemed exceedingly precious. Perhaps the saying "Only realize their importance when they’re gone" might describe it.

...

In the blink of an eye, February arrived.

One day, Chen Ji, the acting master of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, excitedly arrived at the An Family to visit Madam Tong.

At this time, she carried a bag in her hand, looking agitated, and even in the hall, she couldn’t sit still and paced back and forth.

Presently, Madam Tong hurriedly came out from the inner courtyard.

Chen Ji hastened to come forward, untying the bag excitedly, "Temple Master, look at this!"

Madam Tong looked into the bag.

It was wheat.

She raised her hand, grabbed a handful of seeds, rubbed them, and smelled them. The ears of wheat carried a fresh scent, as if freshly threshed from the stalks.

But now it was February?

How could wheat possibly mature at this time?

Madam Tong’s expression became excited, she grinned widely, and asked, "Did it succeed?"

"Temple Master, it did succeed! It truly works! This wheat was just harvested, and the yield per mu is five times greater than before! Five times!" Chen Ji exclaimed incoherently, "Planted last winter, and in just two months, two months, the wheat has grown! We have already tasted it, and it tastes even more fragrant than normal wheat."

Saying this, Chen Ji added, "But unfortunately, the wheat regrown does not have the same effect; only our original seeds do."

Tong Jia said, "Then continue, and if it’s confirmed there’s no issue, produce more seeds, and let the common folk come to receive these new seeds.

Two months planting time, five times the yield, and without being affected by seasons... this is marvelous.

If we can popularize it, we can feed all the villages and counties."

"Yes, Temple Master!"

Chen Ji was incredibly excited.

And after she bade farewell, Madam Tong’s expression was still filled with excitement.

In the evening, when Song Cheng returned,

Madam Tong, her excitement not yet faded, recounted the events of the day to him.

To promote agriculture in Hanping Prefecture, to make it a "Lonely City" self-sufficient, Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple had tried various methods.

"Insect-Repelling Grass" was one way.

And now these seeds were another.

"We placed the wheat seeds next to a green water crystal, and after only three days, the seeds became full and vibrant.
