Little Song Bird Is Pregnant - Chapter 97 - Priorities

Chapter 97 – Priorities

Alin silently filled the tub and bowed to him. "I didn't mean to chatter, young master… I was just reminiscing about your father. He was a great man,"

"I said I don't want to hear about him. Please.. please stop,"

Sighing, Alin left the room.

Feng, who had hurriedly hidden under the sheets, popped out and peered at his mate. "Why not? Do you hate him? Your father,"

"I don't know. I don't care about him," he stood up, removing the layers so clothes. The room was warm enough and the heated water was sending warm steams.

"It sounds like you do care,"

Wren peered at him. "I don't care,"'

"Hmmm curious .." Feng got out of the sheets completely naked. His transformations never involved clothes. He simply climbed into the tub and beckoned him close. "Come to me Wren, come talk to me… let it out,"

Wren climbed in the tub behind him and hugged him tightly. His mate's warm body soothes his mind a bit.

"Tell me dear, what's bothering you? Why do you hate your father? From what I hear, he seems like an amazing cultivator,"

"Yea, but not an amazing husband or a father…" Wren placed his head on his mate's slender shoulder sniffing his delicate scent.

Talking about his father was a delicate topic for him. His mother had mentioned he was a great person, even this elf was saying that… but to him he….

"He is just a failure. A cultivar who only concentrated on his cultivation and not his family."

Feng glanced back silently. "He was doing his best for you and your mother Wren. Please don't antagonize him."

"No.. I'm not trying to make him the enemy but.. I don't feel close to him. He had a loving wife… but he trusted her safety to those with him. Who would do that? She was his mate. He must have been there to protect her! He should have been there instead of trying to breakthrough. Who cares about glory and power! Family… in the end family is all that matters. He never must have understood that,"

Wren sniffed a bit, wiping his tears. He promised himself not to cry anymore. He did not wish to spend any tears on his so-called father anymore.

"Wren dear, he must be repenting. Didn't you hear the man? Your father is literally shedding tears for you?….."

"I don't want his wasted tears." He threw his head back, coldly looking at the engravings on the ceiling. "Feng please let's not talk about this,"

Feng pouted slightly. "Okay… so what else to talk about? We have to prepare for the entrance exam. I heard every year they get innovative with the test. Maybe we can take a few references from the past tests. I'll ask the bookstore elf if he has any books regarding it. We can analyze and predict what the next competition will be,"

Wren suddenly hugged him tightly and kissed his neck. "Feng…."

"Hmm yes…"

"Feng…." he whispered ever so softly.

"Yes Wren," Feng rolled his eyes, glancing back at him. His mate had a sad smile on his face. "What's wrong? Okay fine I won't talk about the test as well. Please don't look so sad. You're look like a kicked puppy,"

"Promise me,," Wren gently kissed his lips. "Promise me.. that you will prioritize on our family than your spiritual cultivation."

Feng froze in shock. "Of course, I will. Why would you think otherwise, you silly?"

"I know.. I know you approached me because of the spiritual powers that I ingested. I know you want to become stronger. I have seen it Feng… but at any stage, please don't leave me….. I don't think I can be patient like my mother. I will become a crazy beast and I might even entrap you in a dungeon,"

He said with much seriousness.

Feng threw his head back and laughed out loud. "Dungeon huh… that sounds nice too. Just you and me every day with nothing else to do but have sex."

"Make love, don't call it sex. It sounds…. less intimate,"

Feng turned over and wrapped his legs around his waist. "Yes love making. We can share love every day every night just to assure your unstable mind that I'm not leaving you anywhere. Do you think I can ever live without you? Geez, I go a week without lovemaking. I turn into a bird,"

Wren pouted. "so you're with me only because you dependent on my dick?"

Feng slapped his shoulders slightly. "I'm with you because I love you. and of course, I depend on you, my mate. Who else can I depend on? The same goes for you. You must depend on me Wren. When things get hard or when you are feeling down, please share your feelings with me. I can be your shoulder to lean on." He gently caressed his cold cheeks. They were wet with tears for sure.

"My little crybaby, how can you start your waterworks all the time," he kissed his wet trembling lashes.

Wren smiled. "I won't cry,"

"Whoa don't stop crying? It's bad to repress your feelings,"

"But you called me a crybaby,"

"yes but I was only joking," Feng kissed his lips. "Wren, you silly oyster… …."

Wren hugged him tightly. They did not do anything. They just sat on the warm water enjoying each other's heartbeats.

Little over ten minutes later, fen started to lightly snore.

Wren hugged him and lifted him out of the bath. He gently dried him and laid him on the bed. As for clothes he decided to skip them.

He hopped into the bed next to him.

His little mate turned over and placed his head on his lap.

Gently caressing his hair, Wren read the book.

The second chapter explained about the five great families of Rene, Dukal, Sheli, Atul, Kaila, and Baro family.

In the first place was the Dukal family. They were the leading merchants who specialized in gems stones and spiritual stones. They had over a thousand of mines near the coastal regions of Rene. The stones were extracted using special magic and equipment.

"hmm I wonder how…" the sea near Rene had at least ten thousand feet in depth.

The oyster tribe, the shark tribe, and other underwater tribes can only survive above the range of thousand feet. Below that their bodies will constrict and they would be killed by the external force of the water pressure.

He had not seen any aquatic tribes swim below thousand feet.

'Maybe they are special cultivators,"

Cultivators whose cultivation is very high can handle the water pressure. Their bodies will naturally form a spiritual layer around them and I will protect them from death.

He peered at his hands. He was just at the core building stage. Only at sage cultivates will he be able to do it.

Wren was not in a hurry… he did not want to make tsh same mistake his father did. He did not want to ignore his lovely mate and chase after power.

The only reason he wanted to enroll in the school was to get strong. Strong enough to protect his mate.

'I don't want to let go of this treasure ever…… Feng I will stick to you like gum. Wonder if you will get fed up with my nuisance,' he caressed his smooth red hair.

He kissed Feng's lips again. "sleep well. Tomorrow is a big day,"

He had a feeling that the entrance examination will begin tomorrow. Or atleats, he hoped so.

Hachin was pregnant and he wanted to be there for him when he gives birth. That was his greatest wish.

Wren placed the book on the table and gently removed Feng's head from his lap. he tucked him in the bed and silently walked down.

Alin looked at him with respect. "Young master,"

"I'm sorry for talking to you in that tone. My father is a sore topic to me….."

"It's okay master. I don't feel in any way offended."

They both awkwardly stood there looking at each other

"um.. do you have any books regarding the academy.. I would like to know how the entrance test works,"

"Yes I certainly do! There have been so many kids asking for this. But I was reluctant to part with it. I somehow had a feeling you see," he excitedly ran inside the store and climbed up the ladder to reach for the top shelf. His tiny hands were reaching for the green hardbound book that was wedged between so many rotting books.

Wren stood up and held him take down the book. "is this it?"

"yes that's the one. Young master do you want me to part a few of my knowledge about the Rene or the exams first," the man hesitantly whispered.

Wren nodded. "About the city first please,"

Clearing his throat Alin began. "The academy started over ten thousand years ago right when your father was at his rule. He was the ruler of the five kingdoms you see. His spiritual might was so great…"

Wren gave him a dull look.

"Sorry, I rambled on. The academy started to give education to the locals who worked here. most of them came from different kingdoms and worked manual jobs. But among them, a few of them had great talent in spiritual cultivation. Five of them, to be exact,"

"Dukal, Sheli, Atul, Kaila, and the one named Baro. They were all young kids discovered by… your highness while he was traveling through here. He took them under his wing and trained them. You see, he liked children and…they became the five great families of Rene. They have expanded a lot now with their trading and weapon forging. Your father was talented in all skills, forging, weapon making, alchemy, enchantments.."

  "Okay, that's enough. I'll read the book and get to know."

"Sorry young master I won't talk about master I promise," he hurriedly shouted.

Wren paused and sat back down. "Only the important things.. Don't narrate stories about him."
