The sunset gradually turns red as it descends, signaling the arrival of night and enveloping the earth in darkness. Ye Linglong, after settling the matter, smiles at her adorable younger cousin. She takes a few more sips before bringing him back to her sleeping chamber.

"Little brother, it's time for bed!" she affectionately says to Ye Tian, embracing him tightly in her arms.

In theory, cultivators, who bask in the dawn and dew, shouldn't have the same need for eating and sleeping as ordinary people. But Ye Linglong is different; she satisfies her appetite and plans her rest.

While their peers cultivate day and night, becoming almost mechanical in their pursuit of cultivation.

Ye Tian, internally, thinks maybe he should just lie down, enjoy good food, and sleep – isn't that the good life? Why strive to become an emotionless cultivation machine?

Sighing, Ye Tian finds himself overwhelmed by his cousin's embrace and the towering peaks of her chest. It's too much for his young body to bear. He tries to escape her embrace sneakily but ends up almost falling off the bed. Luckily, a gentle force picks him up and places him on the jade floor.

"Phew, thank goodness for the system," Ye Tian mutters, glancing around. He has always been in someone else's embrace since birth.

Curious about the outside world, he begins crawling with his tiny limbs, determined to explore.

In a short while, Ye Tian manages to crawl a distance equivalent to an adult's two or three steps. However, the system seems dissatisfied.

"Ding, due to the host's slow progress, the system has decided to upgrade."

"Ding, system upgrade successful. Infinite Travel Mode activated."

"Infinite Travel Mode allows the host to move a hundred times faster than usual, ignoring spatial obstacles and crossing barriers!"

Ye Tian, his chubby face turning red with frustration, thinks to himself, "I've only been born for two days and I'm already crawling. Isn't that good enough? Why do I need to fly? This system...complaining that I'm slow and embarrassing!"

He decides to settle the score with the system later but, for now, he continues exploring outside, crawling at a speed more than a hundred times faster than before, effortlessly bypassing obstacles.

In an instant, he crawls out of Ye Linglong's sleeping chamber.

Observing this, Ye Tian acknowledges that the system is somewhat useful after all. He just wishes for convenient services rather than constant upgrades, as it's hard to lie down and relax that way.

He continues stealthily crawling and exploring. After a while, he stops outside a palace on a precious island.

"It's so hot inside. Could there be an adventure? Let's go in," Ye Tian decides.

Ignoring the walls blocking his path, he enters the palace and is left dumbfounded by what he sees.

The palace is scorching, filled with fire spirit stones emitting intense heat.

In the central position sits a distressed woman in her twenties, wearing an ice-blue tassel gown. She is tall and slender, with long, snow-white legs hidden beneath her skirt.

Despite her exquisite face and chilly gaze, which radiates extreme coldness, she looks disheveled and sweaty, with her clothing in disarray, revealing her arms and legs and curvaceous figure.

"No, don't come," the woman named Yao Xi warns Ye Tian, unsurprised by the presence of an infant in such a sealed space.

Yao Xi used to be the holy daughter of Yaochi Sanctuary, possessing one of the top-ranked physiques among the three thousand. However, her Taiyin Sacred Body had a drawback – an inherent cold poison that typically shortened her lifespan to eighteen years.

Previous outbreaks of the cold poison were always suppressed by the sanctuary's lord and the ancestor. But this time, even the sanctuary's ancestor couldn't help, and the cold poison was too severe.

Upon learning of the situation, the sanctuary lord, Yue Luli, immediately brought Yao Xi back to the ancient Ye family for treatment. He placed her in this sealed space made of fire spirit stones before seeking the assistance of the Ye family's elders and ancestors.

Unexpectedly, before the sanctuary lord arrived, a baby appeared.

"Damn it, system! Why is she in so much pain? Can we help her?" Ye Tian urgently asks the system.

"Ding, this woman is the Holy Daughter of Yaochi, carrying the Taiyin Sacred Body with an intense internal cold poison."

"Without extraordinary measures, she may not survive tonight."

"Holy Daughter of Yaochi? Isn't she my mother's disciple? No, I can't just stand by!" Ye Tian exclaims.

"Ding, it is advised for the host to merge with the Immortal Bone and absorb the cold poison using its power."

"This way, the Taiyin Sacred Body's cold poison can be cured, and the poison can be transformed into ice power for the host to use."

Ye Tian can't help but feel speechless at the system's suggestion. This system seems to be doing it on purpose!

Merging with the Immortal Bone would greatly enhance his aptitude. How will he ever find time to lie down and relax in the future?

But considering that a human life is at stake, he decides to merge and promises himself to be low-key afterward, avoiding unnecessary attention.

Sighing internally, Ye Tian reluctantly thinks, "Ah, the road to lying down and relaxing is long and challenging."

"Ding, please lie in the arms of the Holy Daughter of Yaochi and have skin contact to absorb the cold poison," instructs the system.

With his chubby little hands, Ye Tian crawls closer to Yao Xi, who, in her half-conscious state, panics upon seeing the baby crawling towards her. She knows that he will be infected with the cold poison if he gets too close.

Despite wanting to stop him, she is weak and powerless.

But the baby seems immune to the poison and crawls into her arms.

Yao Xi smiles sadly, not expecting that in her final moments, the world would reject her, except for this little baby who willingly approaches.

She embraces the baby, smiling gently.

Before losing consciousness, Yao Xi says to Ye Tian, "Little brother, thank you."

In his heart, Ye Tian anxiously urges the system to merge the Immortal Bone.

"Ding, starting the merge of the Immortal Bone and absorbing the cold poison."
