584: Thank you, Father, for the name!
“She is My first precious pearl, so her name should reflect that.”
“Just using the character ‘Zhu’ ( beads, pearl) would be too silly.”
“How about replacing it with ‘Yue’ ( Yue)?”
“Yue means ‘divine pearl’ and is also homophonous with ‘moon’ ( moon).”
“‘Qin Shi Ming Yue’ (秦时明 Yue, Bright Moon of Qin) has a nice ring to it. Yes, that’s it.”
Qin Yang’s mind raced, pouring out all the knowledge accumulated over two lifetimes, finally settling on a single character name.
Thinking of this, he smiled at The Eldest Princess and said, “How about I bestow upon you the single name Yue?”
“Qin Yue?”
The Eldest Princess savored the name, her eyes lighting up, and said, “That’s good, it sounds nice!”
However, Lin Xiao’er, who was beside them, frowned slightly and said, “For a girl, a single name sounds a bit too strong. How about three characters?”
Qin Yang nodded slightly. A single name was indeed a bit plain, and there were probably many people with the same name.
Although the Emperor had the power to make his subjects “avoid naming taboos,” in every dynasty, if commoners had the same name as the Emperor, they had to change it.
In some dynasties, even the characters in the Emperor’s name were forbidden, and had to be replaced with others.
Qin Yang did not want to inherit such dross. Characters belonged to the entire nation, not exclusively to the Emperor.
Moreover, Lin Xiao’er was right; the two characters “Qin Yue” did sound a bit strong.
Qin Yang said to Lin Xiao’er, “Does the Empress Dowager have any ideas?”
Lin Xiao’er pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “Yue means divine pearl. You gave her a divine pearl, so I will give her a beautiful jade.”
With that, Lin Xiao’er looked at her granddaughter and asked with a smile, “How about Qin Yiyao?”
Hearing this name, Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.
It had to be you, Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, your cultural level is truly high.
Indeed, Yao ( Yao) has the meaning of “beautiful jade.”
“Yueyao, divine pearl paired with beautiful jade, a wonderful meaning.”
Qin Yang nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied with the name.
The Eldest Princess was even more so, laughing joyfully, “Thank you, Imperial Father and Empress Dowager, for bestowing this name!”
Immediately, she murmured to herself, “Mother, did you hear? I have a name now, I’m called Qin Yiyao~”
Seeing this scene, Qin Yang felt it was truly miraculous.
His daughter hadn’t even been born yet,
and she could already communicate with her mother.
Was this the success of prenatal education, or a miracle of Bloodline?
Perhaps both.
Qin Yiyao’s personality was extremely lively, much like Chu Mengxuan, while her boldness and meticulousness were very much like his own, a combination of the two.
“This child can be well nurtured; perhaps she will become another Great Emperor in the future.”
Qin Yang thought to himself.
Qin Yiyao had made immense contributions to the magnificent feat of severing the Jianmu tree and breaking the connection between heaven and earth.
This meant she would be recorded in the mythical annals even before birth.
Her future prospects were limitless.
“Ah! Mother can’t hold on, I’m going offline now~”
Just then, Qin Yiyao reluctantly said, “Empress Dowager, Imperial Father, goodbye!”
Qin Yang nodded gently, and uncharacteristically, softly said, “If you need anything, inform Me through the Empress. I will do My best to fulfill it until you are born.”
“Okay, hugging my mom~”
The Eldest Princess nodded heavily, then closed her eyes.
Instantly, Chu Mengxuan’s body became like a puppet with cut strings, falling backward as if she had been powered off.
Qin Yang had prepared in advance, instantly appearing behind her and catching her steadily.
Immediately, he was about to unleash “Imperial Grace” to restore Chu Mengxuan’s state to full.
At this moment, Chu Mengxuan, who was in Qin Yang’s arms, let out a soft “Ying” sound, her small, delicate nose gently sniffing, as if she smelled a familiar scent.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and Chu Mengxuan slowly opened her eyes, her weary gaze gradually focusing.
“Husband?”
“It really is you!”
Upon recognizing Qin Yang, Chu Mengxuan immediately perked up, burrowing into Qin Yang’s embrace with all her might!
“Where did you go...?”
“You disappeared for a long time again...”
“I missed you so much...”
Although Chu Mengxuan was completely weak, she used her last bit of strength to curl up in Qin Yang’s arms, pouting like a child in a dream, even more so than Qin Yiyao.
Lin Xiao’er, beside them, playfully chided her, “You’re about to be a mother, yet you still act more spoiled than your daughter. You’re truly a girl who won’t grow up.”
“Life is only like the first meeting; this is quite good.”
Qin Yang smiled.
“You just spoil her.”
Lin Xiao’er rolled her eyes at Qin Yang, but a relieved smile was on her face.
Just in this warm moment, Qin Yang suddenly heard a voice in his mind.
“Brother Qin, please come and see me...”
Qin Yang was momentarily stunned.
Ah, he was so happy seeing his daughter for the first time that he completely ignored Yang Jian.
The dignified Erlang Shen was still lying in the mud...
“I’ll be right there.”
Qin Yang replied to Yang Jian in his mind,
then pulled out a third-grade Medicinal Pill from Shennong Peak, the “Origin Qi Pill,” and said to Lin Xiao’er, “Give this to Chu Mengxuan, let her get a good night’s sleep, and no one is to disturb her.”
Qin Yang was not in a hurry to treat Chu Mengxuan with “Imperial Grace.”
Her body was not weak; she had simply exhausted her stamina.
The Origin Qi Pill could increase the Physique limit by 5% of the recovery value during the process of restoring Physique.
The more she recovered, the more it would increase, which was perfect for Chu Mengxuan’s state of exhaustion.
Moreover, she was pregnant and should rest more in her sleep.
“When you’re done, return to the ship. You should also rest.”
Lin Xiao’er took Chu Mengxuan from Qin Yang’s arms, gave a warning, and then transformed into a sword light, swiftly departing.
Qin Yang, with a flash, appeared before Yang Jian.
He first saw Chi You, whose body was as massive as a mountain.
Chi You was supporting himself with the xuanyuan sword, kneeling beside Yang Jian.
He had several terrifying wounds on his body, all inflicted by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade.
His muscular chest had an empty hole shot through it by Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye, continuously gushing golden blood.
At this moment, Chi You was only able to remain standing by leaning on the xuanyuan sword.
“As expected of Erlang Shen, his strength is truly formidable!”
“Even with Chi You and I working together, we almost couldn’t take him down.”
“However, the current Chi You is also not in his complete form.”
After thinking, Qin Yang slightly raised his hand and cast Imperial Grace on Chi You.
Immediately, Imperial Power was drawn away like a receding tide.
After inheriting the divine body, Chi You was a 300-level god.
Healing him required a large amount of Imperial Power.
Fortunately, the consumption of Imperial Power in this battle was not significant.
Having accumulated Imperial Power for so long, Qin Yang could still afford this medical expense.
As his wounds healed, Chi You regained his strength.
The moment his condition recovered, Chi You let out a long breath, somewhat troubled, “Truly, my former might is gone. I actually suffered such severe injuries, and this xuanyuan sword... it’s still so awkward to use!”
Qin Yang’s mouth twitched.
Chi You was still complaining about this sword; how deep was his resentment?
He comforted Chi You, “The opponent’s strength was already very strong, and you were not in your complete form.”
Chi You nodded and said, “When I fought Xuanyuan back then, I witnessed the power of the God Race. They seem to be even stronger than before.”
With that, Chi You offered the xuanyuan sword with both hands, saying, “Human Emperor, I need some time to recuperate and recover all my strength as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Qin Yang was slightly startled, thinking, “He calls Me Human Emperor?”
...[Retired Emperors: Thank you all, Imperial Fathers, for bestowing a name upon The Eldest Princess! The name “Qin Yiyao” provided by “Mu Xiaoyu who loves sweets” received the most votes. Thank you again, Imperial Fathers, for the name!]
