He butts in telepathically.

“I cannot biologically conceive children. I have to make them. Also Yichen is lying to keep Minghao to himself. Tell him I said to share”

He chuckles.
“Don’t use too much qi. We need it all for the baby”

“How’d you guys speak when we’ve been here the whole time?” He asks curiously.

// LAUGHED AFTER I WROTE IT

He shifts and lays his head on his husband’s lap.

“Mm. I’m sure Sariel has it under control. He’s the second heir to the grim reaper throne”

“Mhm.” He hugs his husband’s arm as they watch over the patch of soil.

“It will take quite a while. I hope everything is okay while we’re gone”

“… Taoying” he said softly while leaning his head against his husband’s shoulder.

He kneels next to a patch of dirt he had already been preparing with fresh soil and hovers his hand over it to donate some of his qi. Forming a carrot root down below.

“Laogong, spare me some of your qi so our princess can grow faster”

“Our little cabbage and our little…” he thinks and closes his eyes while stroking his chin. They’re currently in a quiet and secluded cave where they will be spending time making a baby together for the next few months.

“Carrot. She shall be from a carrot. Sweet and vibrant.”

—

Mn. Shall we grow her body from a sunflower? I believe minghao was made from a cabbage.

“Okay… I cannot possibly refuse now. Especially if you want a princess as well. Shall we go to the meditation cave and cultivate a new baby? Though, it may take us a very long time. We should let everyone know”

“Are we ready? Minghao is still so tiny and those with god blood grow up a lot slower right? Do you think we can do it?” He reaches over to hold his husband’s hand with a smile.

“A princess? Hmmm…” he takes a drink of tea.

“Neither of us had feminine energy to spare within the afterlife. That is how we made a son. Perhaps now that we are alive with can create a girl.”

“Sariel. We are old now. All I wish for is safety for everyone.”

“Our brothers are fully grown angels now. After that last altercation— it seems that things have somehow and very eerily reverted back to how it once was. Us doing our jobs and nothing more.” He mentions and folds his umbrella as they are under a shade—

He holds out a small jar of mixed nuts towards his brother and calmly takes a seat next to him with a hum.

“Michael has returned home. His grace has somehow been fully restored. It was an earth shattering entrance that had every angel bowing before him. Who knew he used to be in dresses.”

“I took a walk. Xi Bo wished to babysit minghao for a while so I have free time for a few hours until I must get back to work. And you Xiao-Lun?”

Stands over his brother with an umbrella.

“It is sunny today”
