When Alex was in the great world, he had snatched countless treasures and many spiritual herbs,
especially several baskets of heavenly law fruits. Hence, it was not a big deal concocting a couple of
pills to prolong oneâs lifespan.
Most importantly, he could tell from a glance that Channing was diseased. This was the real reason for
his short lifespan.
As long as be cured Channingâs disease and gave him another pill for breaking through, increasing his
lifespan by a hundred years was not a delusion.

After leaving the room where William was in, Alex went to meet his mother, Brittany. She and Beatrice
were together, serving several little ancestors. Beatrice had undergone great changes during this time.
She had promised her sister, who had yet to become Xienna, that she would treat the four children as
her flesh and blood. She managed to do that. Although she was still a
maiden, her entire body exuded a kind of maternal brilliance.
âBeatrice, youâve worked hard! â Alex said seriously as he approached Beatrice and looked at her.
The young lady put down a clingy kid and instantly threw herself into Alexâs arms. âBrother-in-law!â
Alexâs body slightly stiffened, but he could hear the sorrow in her voice. So, he was reluctant to push
her away for a while.
âIs my sister really not going to come back?â
Upon hearing it, Alex felt a throbbing pain in his heart, especially when he saw the four children that
had never received love from their biological mother since birth. He sighed, not knowing if Dorothy
could still return to them.
Just then, all the four childrenâs eyes widened upon seeing Alex hugging Beatrice. The next second,
they bawled. The power of four children crying together was simply devastating.
Alex hastily let go of Beatrice, and the four wimpy brats rushed forward.
They all hugged Beatriceâs calves and pulled her hands while shouting, âMommy!â
âMommy, hug!â
âI want milk..â
Were they jealous of him?
Alex was slightly stunned when he heard them calling her âmommy.â To his surprise, he heard a
daughter of his shouting for milk in the end. At that time, he became even more dumbfounded as he
glanced at Beatriceâs upper circumference⦠Even if she had borne the responsibility of a mother, this
thing seemed to be something she could have at will, right?
âNo, no! She meant that milk.. That milk! Itâs the milk, but not mine!â
Beatrice was even more flustered upon seeing Alexâs dumbfounded look. She hurriedly jumped over
and grabbed a feeding bottle in her hand, signaling Alex that this was what the daughter wanted to
have.
Alex smiled without saying anything.
When he saw Beatrice trying to feed his daughter with the bottle, he suddenly remembered something,
he still had lots of Spring Water of Life in his storage ring. This was something good. When he was
unable to feed his eldest daughter with milk back then, he had often provided her with Spring Water of
Life. It was more nutritious than drinking milk
As a father, he could not favor one child and discriminate against his other children.
Now, he did not know when he would be able to meet his eldest daughter again, so the Spring Water of
Life would be of no use even if he kept it. Thus, it was just the right nourishment for the children.
When Brittany saw his son following Beatrice, helping her clumsily, a kind of happy smile showed on
her face.
âAlex, these four little guys havenât been named. They only have nicknames now. You have to name
them!â Brittany said.
âWhat are their nicknames?â Alex asked.
Beatrice pointed at the girl drinking milk in her arms and said, âThis is Three Rockefeller!â
Hence, Three Rockefeller would be a girl in the future. Beatrice respectively pointed at the other three
children. âThis is One Rockefeller. This is Two Rockefeller. This is Four Rockefellerâ¦â
âThis⦠Who gave them the nicknames? Arenât they a little too superficial?â
âThose are no better than the âBubblesâ I named my eldest daughter with!â
Brittany said, âInitially, your grandfather wanted to name them Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. It
happens that Spring and Summer are female names, whereas Autumn and Winter are for males. Thus,
they will sound very meaningful when they are together. But, Waltz and Maya felt that itâd be best for
you to name them as their father. It was hard to tell whether you were alive or not at that time. They
donât have given names yet, so itâs also a sign of waiting for your return.â
