Lord Xue Ying

Within the hall, the red-robed girl sat there staring at the polite old man.

“You say that the unborn child in that lowly woman Rong Xing Lan has become a True God?” The eyes of the red-robed girl were cold. The temperature within the hall had drastically reduced. That old man felt his heart trembling. He might be a Void God at the Origin Birth realm, but the eldest madam had long reached the Unity realm; she was much stronger and could kill him with a flip of her hands.

“Yes.” The old man felt his heart shaking, “I am absolutely sure.”

“If I am not wrong, she has only been pregnant for nine years.” The red-robed girl indifferently stated.

“Yes.” The old man nodded.

“It seems that she is quite fortunate to conceive such an infant with Lie Hu, for it to have such great innate talent. She has indeed contributed greatly to our Marquisdom.” The red-robed girl chuckled, “You go over and help me send these gifts so that she could properly nurture her baby. Currently, that infant in her stomach is extremely important. No matter what, he is still the child of Lie Hu.”

The old man felt puzzled.

Send some gifts?

…

Year passed by year. The eldest madam was indeed kind. She had arranged for gifts to be sent to Rong Xing Lan almost every single month. Rong Xing Lan was cautious too and would not touch anything sent over by the eldest madam! But she eventually discovered that those gifts were all treasures after asking her daughter to sell them–which she sold at a high price. It seemed that the eldest madam did not have any vicious intention.

In the blink of an eye, Rong Xing Lan had been pregnant for 15 years, and the aura in the stomach had reached the Paragon realm.

“Reporting to madam, the Seventh Dawn Spirit Scented Tea for this year has been ingested by Rong Xing Lan.” The old man came back.

“Is the baby in Little Sister Xing Lan still alright?” The red-robed girl chuckled.

“He is fine. It is still at the Paragon realm.” The old man said.

“Mn, go over to the 2nd affair management to get some gifts and send over.” The red-robed girl laughed. At the same time, her voice directly sounded in the soul of that old man, “Remember, this time, the bottle of spiritual medicine must be drunk by that lowly woman Rong Xing Lan! She must drink it.”

The old man felt his heart trembling.

Not good.

Previously, even though she had sent many gifts, she did not force the other party to drink it. As for the ‘Seventh Dawn Spirit Scented Tea’, it was a rule for all pregnant madams to drink in the Marquisdom! Right now, he was asked to force Rong Xing Lan to consume the gift sent by eldest madam, and the old man was not foolish at all.

“Madam, you can’t do this. The rules of the Ying Shan Clan are strict. This is a huge offense. The moment we are discovered, we would be killed.” The old man replied via his soul too. He did not dare to say it out loud in fear of being killed by the eldest madam after angering her. After all, the eldest madam had merely transmitted a message to him via soul and did not leave behind any pieces of evidence.

“Manager Tian, it is either your entire family dies with you, or you listen to me obediently. Rest assured. There will not be anything happening to that infant in the stomach of Rong Xing Lan after drinking it. It would merely result in a baby with a more ordinary talent.” The red-robed girl transmitted, “There are currently too many ordinary disciples within the Ardent Fire Marquisdom, and no one will care about him. Furthermore, I have arranged for a treasure that would influence the time-space for you, so that nobody would discover that it has been committed by you through the reversal of time flow. Alright, you decide if you are going to do it or not.”

The old man felt his heart turning bitter.

Would he dare to reject now that he knew what the eldest madam wanted to do? If he refused, his entire family would be killed. Even though he had committed many vile acts in the past, going against the ‘Ying Shan Clan’s rules was a capital offense and would be punishable by death. He still felt his heart trembling from the thought of it.

“Yes, this old servant will definitely not disappoint madam.” The old man transmitted back.

“Go.” The red-robed girl chuckled, “Help me ask if Little Sister Xing Lan is doing fine.”

“Yes.” The old man said too. He immediately left.

The red-robed girl watched silently. The killing intent in her heart was surging: ‘Hmph, such a lowly woman. I do not take her as a threat, yet that infant in her stomach is quite amazing. The moment he is given birth, he will definitely take up a large portion of the resources in my lineage.”

She had long treated the resources under her husband’s name as hers! Indeed, many shops, cavern-dwellings, and territories were all governed by her people. If she wanted to distribute the resources, they could only be given to her own child!

Other threats? They had long been eliminated.

‘Once that infant in the stomach of that lowly woman grows up, I will find a chance to make him die soundlessly. There is also the matter of Manager Tian. After this matter is done, he will die first.’ The red-robed girl thought.

******

The old man came over to the little courtyard of Rong Xing Lan.

“Manager Tian.” Rong Xing Lan brought her daughter and came along with the female servant to greet him.

“Haha, I came upon orders by the eldest madam to send you some gifts.” The old man laughed before waving his hand, causing a basket to appear. The basket was placed with several gifts, and they were all sent over. Rong Xing Lan received them with a smile. Over the past few years, this Manager Tian had sent many gifts over, and there were no issues with them at all.

When the old man passed the basket over, he flipped his hand before causing a black jade bottle to appear. He chuckled, “This jade bottle is an extremely precious spiritual liquid that madam has prepared for you. Come, drink it.”

“Please pass my thanks to madam.” Rong Xing Lan took it over.

“Since it is a precious spiritual liquid, you shouldn’t sell it outside. Many of the gifts that had been sent by the madam in the past were sold by you all.” The old man chuckled, “So you should still drink it directly.” Saying that, an unseen energy restricted Rong Xing Lan and forced her to drink the liquid.

Rong Xing Lan was much astonished.

So…

The dagger was finally revealed after six years?

“No, no.” Rong Xing Lan struggled. She could feel the infant in her stomach getting stronger and had dreamt of how her son would become bright and dazzling in the future. Right now, how could she drink this strange spiritual liquid that was in the black jade bottle?

“Stop!” The green-robed girl Ying Shan Xi Yue was greatly startled. Even though she knew there were many dark and cruel things happening within the aristocratic clans, she would not have thought that it would implicate an infant under the direct bloodline. This was an ironclad rule of the whole Ying Shan Clan, that those who dared to act against an infant of the direct bloodline would be punishable by death. She who was slightly cowardly had directly moved to stop the old man.

“Hong.”

The old man casually waved his hand, causing the green-robed girl Ying Shan Xi Yue to fall heavily onto the ground. Under the unseen energy, she was suppressed to the extent that she could not move. Ying Shan Xi Yue coldly shouted: “What you are doing is a capital offense! A capital offense! If you want, come and deal against me.”

“Don’t touch my child. He hasn’t been given birth!” Rong Xing Lan felt terrified. Her eyes were filled with misery as she begged the old man.

The old man remained emotionless.

Don’t blame me… I want to live. My family wants to live too. If you’re going to blame, go blame the eldest madam!

“Gu gu gu.” The spiritual liquid in the black bottle had been directly poured into the mouth of Rong Xing Lan. Rong Xing Lan’s mouth had been pried open by an unseen energy, and the liquid was controlled to enter her body. Rong Xing Lan felt despair. Tears were flowing down her face. Why… she was even filled with the resolution to protect her son with her life, yet it was futile as she struggled.

The servant beside trembled as she watched this scene personally. It terrified her.

This was a huge offense!

“Don’t be worried.” The old man looked at the female servant. He transmitted over, “Just act as if you had not seen it. The time-space here is distorted, making it pointless for the reversal of time flow to work.”

After drinking it, the old man kept the black jade bottle before leaving.

Rong Xing Lan fell down softly onto the ground. Her face was filled with tears. Her eyes were filled with despair: “Why, why? If you want to do anything, just deal against me. Why are you acting against my child.”

“Mother.” Ying Shan Xi Yue hurried over and embrace her mother, “Is it possible for you to expel that poisonous liquid?”

“It is useless, useless.” Rong Xing Lan shook her head, “The moment I drank it, it’ll rapidly permeate through my body. I cannot resist it at all.”

“Not good.” Rong Xing Lan held her stomach, “I feel that I am about to give birth!”

Ying Shan Xi Yue felt greatly shocked. Her mother was about to give birth?

“What kind of vile poison is this that actually forced her to give birth?” Ying Shan Xi Yue immediately brought her mother back to her house, closed the door and prepared for conception.

…

That’s right. He was about to undergo a premature birth.

But Rong Xing Lan and her daughter had blamed the eldest madam wrongly. The poisonous liquid arranged by the eldest madam was meant to injure the innate talent of the infant, and not for the infant to come out immediately. It was Xue Ying who decided to come out immediately instead.

‘Damn.’ Xue Ying was cultivating on the void within the stomach of his mother. He could vaguely feel everything that happened in the outer world, and felt anger striking his eyes, ‘I can’t stay on like this. I do not know what would happen if I were to remain within.’

Even though the venomous liquid was about to permeate into the infant body of his…

Xue Ying’s body rapidly withdrew. It immediately turned small. After all, as a True God, he could easily change the size of his body and easily cut himself off the embryo, preventing the poisonous liquid from transmitting into his body.

‘Time to leave.’ He controlled the void and forced the embryo to exit.

Rong Xing Lan also felt her stomach getting painful.

Lying on her bed, Rong Xing Lan tried enduring it and wanted her child to stay for a longer period in her stomach.

“Ah, he has to be given birth now.” Rong Xing Lan’s face was filled with tears. Her hair was even soaking from her tears.

“That eldest madam is too venomous.” Ying Shan Xi Yue felt anxious.

“Come out.”

Rong Xing Lan extended her hand into her stomach. “Hu”, following that, she directly grabbed a fleshy sphere out. A round fleshy body fell directly onto the bed. It was relatively easy for a World Deity to let her child out.

That red round fleshy ball contained some secretive golden patterns revolving on it. This was also a secret technique used for nurturing an infant to make it stronger.

“Activate.”

Xue Ying who was currently within the round fleshy ball activated the bloodline in his body once again. His realm had already reached a sufficient stage. Previously, it was because he did not want to create a massive disturbance and was merely gently absorbing the world energy in the outer world. Now that he was given birth… his motive was to shock the whole world. Naturally, he completely activated the void bloodline in his body. It’s a pity that he had cultivated for just ten years or more, and could only enable part of the void bloodline in his body.

“Hong!”

One could see the golden veins on the round rolling red fleshy ball being activated. It abruptly let out a dazzling light and at the same time, caused the world energy to rush over, creating a massive maelstrom of a light pillar. Everything rushed into the round rolling fleshy ball.

The old man who just left the small courtyard to report to the eldest madam suddenly turned over. He watched with shock as the sky formed a world energy maelstrom: ‘Who dares to be so daring to dare absorb the world energy from within the Marquisdom? Even if he is cultivating, he should be cultivating in closed doors.”

“Hong.”

“That is–”

“That golden light?”

The Ardent Fire Marquisdom was incomparably vast. There were many experts within. Currently, they extended their senses over to this location and were able to see the maelstrom of the light pillar with golden light shooting in all directions: “That is the golden light given out by the descent of an infant. It is so intense?”

The array spirit within the Ardent Fire Marquisdom perceived the disturbance. It naturally controlled the arrays and descended in this small courtyard to examine what had happened. After understanding the situation, it immediately went to report to all higher-ups within the entire Ardent Fire Marquisdom–

“Ying Shan Lie Hu’s son has been given birth! He is a Void God at birth, and his mother is Rong Xing Lan!”

The moment this information was released, the entire Ardent Fire Marquisdom shook.

At the same time, this information was spread at the fastest pace towards all the Ying Shan clansmen. There was merely a branch within the Ardent Fire Marquisdom, and for such outstanding disciple to be given birth, it sufficed to startle the entire clan.
