Several months later, Maeve finally took complete control of the Water Law in the lake area of Creekwood Small World and hurriedly woke from her slumber.

This was the fastest she had ever taken over the Law, her heart uneasy about her baby who had just hatched not long ago.

She surmised that Baby Ying’s first sleep must have also been about nine years or so, possibly shorter than hers, but not by much. Upon awakening, there should be at least two to three years of vigorous energy ahead.

Anxious that she might wake before her and, having tired of playing within the lake’s bounds, grow curious about the outside world and wander ashore—even with Nicole’s care, Maeve’s concern remained endless.

Yet, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw her precious child lying obediently on the little water bed, breathing softly and slowly.

Still asleep? Good, good!

Maeve sighed in relief and went to check on her.

Nicole, sensing movement, floated up immediately: “Master, you’ve awakened? The little master just fell asleep five months ago.”

“What? Baby Ying has already woken up?” Maeve asked in surprise. “When did she wake?”

“Five months ago, she woke up for just half a day before falling asleep again,” Nicole replied. “The little master was very well-behaved, didn’t go ashore, only spent a little while on Lake Heart Island, took a brief look at the shore from the water’s edge, then asked me to tell her about your past stories, Master. After that, she voluntarily requested to go back to sleep.”

The handbook on nurturing stated that before inheriting the Divine Power, everything was new and fascinating to a Young God, and their curiosity and desire for knowledge were strong. However, their Divine Power was still weak and they didn’t know how to use it, so they needed to be carefully protected to avoid early demise from danger.

Why did Baby Ying’s curiosity only last half a day and she even chose to sleep voluntarily?

Maeve used her Divine Power to create a Water Mirror that reflected Nicole’s memories from that period, watching them carefully.

In the beginning, everything seemed normal; she played on Lake Heart Island. Although Maeve didn’t know why she liked poking stones, it was still full of energy, fitting the characteristics of a Little Young God with strong curiosity.

Her interest in hearing about Maeve from Nicole was a part of her curiosity about her.

Finally, when Baby Ying spoke about wanting to grow up quickly, believing that she would digest the Divine Power faster during sleep, and considering that she had looked at herself in the lake’s surface upon waking and inquired about her hair, Maeve understood.

“Baby Ying is such a lovely, beauty-loving little one. She was so eager to go back to sleep to digest the Divine Power and grow her hair faster!” Maeve said with a laugh.

She had heard that the Mountain God living in the surrounding mountains had a Little Young God twenty years older than Baby Ying. Maeve had thought about taking her there to make friends, so when she was busy with her new job in the upcoming three years, Baby Ying would have a companion to play with and wouldn’t get too bored. But now there was no hurry.

Baby Ying was going to sleep for at least eighteen more years before waking again, by which time the Mountain God’s Little Young God would have likely entered his third slumber, so missing the chance to meet each other.

...

As Mu Ying slept without any awareness, she didn’t know that Maeve’s mother had arranged a playmate for her and that her early return to sleep had thwarted those plans.

Eighteen years passed by, and Mu Ying slowly awakened.

As she opened her eyes, she immediately saw Maeve’s mother leisurely swinging on a swing.

Having stayed in her dwelling to wait for her to wake up, Maeve now saw her daughter opening her eyes, formed a stream of water and brought her into her arms: “This is something I learned from humans, called a swing; human children enjoy it very much. Let’s play together, Mama will push you! Hold on tight!”

Swinging by myself was dull, slow and leisurely, but as soon as I took my daughter with me, my enthusiasm soared. We went faster and higher.

Mu Ying clung tightly to Maeve’s mother’s arm, her face scrunched up with tension, and she bravely resisted the urge to cry out amid the whooshing wind.
