Wow! They are so beautiful… just like me…

Everyone forgot what they were about to ask and turned their attention towards the sound, however to their utter dismay, the place where the dolls were originally placed was empty.“Where’s the children?” Agatha’s voice raised in concern as she touched the place where she thought the children should have been… the spot where she thought she head the cry from.“Where’s my wife?” Chris was even more distressed. He had only been distracted by his stupid brother for a second. ‘Who could have taken my wife?’He looked around in a state of panic before they zoned in on Spector and Spectra who were visibly shrinking in their positions.No one had seen the two treasures rush over and whisk their little siblings away at the very first hint of a cry. By the time they came to their senses, the children were gone.‘Why would their little siblings cry?’ There was only one reason in the treasures' minds, they were hungry.And hence, while everyone was distracted, it was Spector and Spectra’s job to

Little stars who stole souls.

As the rest of the world slept, Rosevilla bustled with excitement as four generations gathered around the newest additions to the family.Chris Jnr noted Everett puckering his lips in resentment as the younger generations crowded near the babies, without giving him a chance to even see his great-grandnephews. He was confident that he was more agile than any of them and would have been the first to carry his great-grandnephews if he hadn't been worried about leaving his dear sister alone.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up slyly as he whispered in Emm ears. The duo looked at each other and nodded before entering the room where Neil was examining the babies.“Godfather… you…” Both spoke in unison… their expression midway between exasperation and amusement. Their godfather who was always diligent and serious about medicine was, under the guise of performing examination entertaining the little babies by cuddling and cooing them, to his heart’s content.Neil straightened his back and explained with

Do you want to be banished to Devil Island?

No one knew how a week had passed so quickly... but it had, and soon it was time for the Burkes to return. They tried to entice Chris and Emile to return to their roots so that they could be close to the babies who stole everyone’s hearts just by being there.Both Hua Yueren and Chris's master camped at Rosevilla with the sole intention of kidnapping at least one of the babies as a disciple. But they learned it the hard way… the chubby doll-like babies had two fierce guardian siblings.“Little uncle, do you want to adopt a cute and obedient boy?” Leo blinked cutely as they were getting ready to leave.“Yes…” Chris nodded, his lips curling up in a teasing arc, “but where do I go for an obedient boy?”Leo smiled brightly as he heard Chris agreeing and was about to ask his father when he heard the rest of Chris’s comment. He blushed as he hid behind Chris Jnr. But he was only dissuaded for a minute before he turned to Chris Jnr, “Big treasure, do you want to adopt one more brother?”“Why

How could the Night Lord be so forgiving?

Little baby rushed out the moment he heard Chris Jnr’s voice, crying loudly before he even saw them.“Big treasure… little treasure… little siblings have disappeared… I searched everywhere…”His words and crying came to an abrupt halt as he saw Chris Jnr and Emm emerging from the car holding little siblings.He marched up to Chris with a stern expression and scolded him righteously, “Little uncle, don’t you know little baby will worry? Why didn’t you tell me when you took my little siblings away?”Leo and the others who had woken up with the ruckus also came scrambling out, panic written all over their faces as they heard little baby wail. They too, turned a disappointed gaze towards Chris, shaking their heads like little adults.Chris rubbed his nose with a sheepish smile as he muttered to Emile, “Why do I feel like I'm the evil stepfather in this story?”“My thoughts exactly.” Emile whispered back with a soft laugh.“Who are you bossing around.” Darcy picked up little baby and tossed

You are a Walter… you must remember, we protect… not destroy.

Once everyone retired for the night, either to their homes or their rooms at Rosevilla, Chris headed upstairs for the one routine he had never changed. Bedtime was story time for the babies. Although the stories varied depending on their aptitude, it was time dedicated solely to them.However, when he entered, he heard Chris Jnr’s serious voice, telling the story he had told them several times.“Are you stealing daddy’s spotlight?” Chris chuckled as he leaned against the door, watching the children with affection.“How can we steal daddy’s spotlight?” Emm giggled, covering her mouth as she shuffled on the bed to make space for Daddy.He quietly took little baby from his spot where he had fallen asleep on all fours and placed him on his bed and covered him with a blanket before settling on the mat with three children on either side and beginning a new story. This time, the story wasn’t about the prince who waited for his princess and their happily ever after. Instead, it was about a dif

You really are the monkey king

The next morning as everyone gathered at the breakfast table, Chris Jnr and Emm tried their luck once again, “Daddy, looking at how pitifully our little siblings were crying, can we shift to home schooling?”“We will not fall behind on our schoolwork.” Emm added with a face full of sincerity.All of the Walters, with the exception of Thomas and Angel, were in attendance; they had returned home the previous day because Thomas had to travel for a work case the following day. They all looked towards Chris with curiosity, Everett included.“Nice try... no...” Chris didn’t even have to think.“But they…” Emm pouted pitifully, “Daddy, can you bear to see them crying so pitifully?”“Why not?” Chris chuckled, “we might even add some opera singers to the mix of Walter talents.”Laughter erupted around the table except from three people. Two looked like withered eggplants, while one remained completely serious in solidarity with his treasures' plight.After a beat, he puffed up his tiny chest an

I knew that basement room wasn't normal...

Time flew by and, in the blink of an eye, three months had already passed. One weekend afternoon, as they sat chatting together, Elizabeth suddenly looked around anxiously.“We haven’t christened the little ones.”Everyone paused. They had all been wrapped up in the little ones’ bright smiles and liveliness that they had forgotten. They all turned their gazes towards their omnipotent youngest son and little brother. Moments later, those blank expressions slowly transformed into confusion, carrying the same question.‘How could you forget something so important?’Chris chuckled, wearing his usual carefree manner, as though everything was under control, as always.“No hurry… there’s plenty of time. We can plan slowly.”“I don’t believe you forgot.” Adam shook his head; his confusion only lasted for a few seconds. He knew his youngest son best. In his plans, there was never a misstep nor a moment of miscalculation.He stared at his son for a while before narrowing his eyes. His voice turn

No secrets between family...

He went on to explain everything about their ancestry… the legend of the cultivator world, their ancestor and the prophecy.“The lightning that day…. The sky….” Thomas asked, his eyes widening in enlightenment.Chris nodded.“No wonder you guys looked like you had finished a battle with the heavens.” Eric too nodded with a rare solemn expression.No one spoke after this, not because they had nothing to ask, but because they didn't know what to ask.Unlike other families, their concerns weren't about power or talent. Nor were they concerned with why they had missed out.Their concern was simple:How do we protect them?“In the cultivation world, there is a ceremony for newborns on their hundredth day. It is mainly to check their foundation and if they have the innate ability to cultivate.”“I was thinking of having their christening afterwards so that I can name them according to that…” He paused, “For cultivators, names mean much more than just a name… it is a reminder, a restraint and

Opportunity knocks but only once… the choice, that is also destiny

In the evening, the Burkes came over as usual, the only difference from usual was this time, they were all in attendance, from the oldest Matthias to the youngest, Liam.This time round, the explanations went smoothly, perhaps practice makes perfect… or having your family backing you … makes your spine straighter even if you are speaking about the impossible… who knows!The reaction of the Burkes was no different from that of the Walters… with the exception of Matthias.“First uncle, you don’t seem surprised.” Emile giggled as her gaze skirted over her cousins dumb founded expression before settling on Matthias who seemed to have taken the news in a stride.“The world is vast and wide…” Matthias shrugged, “And who says that the old must be extinct before a new world can emerge?”“True…” Everett nodded as he sank into contemplation. He wasn’t cataloguing but reviewing everything he had ever read or known about his family history. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the information he had

Stinky baby, you didn’t give your old man any face...

Preparations for the hundred-day ceremony had long since been completed by Chris's master and Hendrick.There were no outsiders, only family and those they considered family: the Walters, Burkes, Hua Yueren, Bai-Min, Lai-Li, Neil, Adrian, his wife Iris, and their son Jonah.The day started like any other... well, perhaps not quite like any other day. How often did the Walter and Burke Clans board Chris's Night Empire jets and head for an unmarked island?Even after they disembarked from the jet, their anticipation didn't fade, it only grew stronger. The adults' enthusiasm perhaps carried a hint of anxiety if one looked closely, but no one seemed any wiser.Marcus carried one of the babies while the oldest, Big Treasure, walked beside him. Little Treasure followed close behind, and Philip brought up the rear carrying the remaining babies as they headed toward Master's cottage.Emile looked at the responsible little people before her and giggled as she whispered to Chris, “We really don’
