Chapter 404 (2/2)

“Little Yu, Little Qing Yao,” Xue Ying called out. These were the names that he and his wife had chosen; the boy’s name would be Dong Bo Yu, and the girl’s Dong Bo Qing Yao.

Next to him, Jing Qiu reached out to touch the soft, tender skin covering the faces of these children. This caused the two children to cry even harder.

After the children came upon the earth, many of Xue Ying’s good friends from the Xia Clan came over to express congratulations. Amongst them were people like Mountain Lord He, Si Kong Yang, Palace Head Chen, City Lord Bu, the Sea Deity Palace Head, Chao Qing, Gong Yu, and various other. By now, many of them were actually nearing the end of their lifespans. The Xia Clan now entered a prosperous era and would never again face danger. Thus, despite Mountain Lord He and Palace Head Chen nearing their limits, they were still very happy to have at last witnessed the birth of Xue Ying’s two children.

The days after that were marked with both suffering and happiness for Xue Ying.

“Haha, hahaha…”

A pants-less child on bare feet stood on a cliff of Snowrock Mountain, peeing directly downward. His stream dropped from the sky to land on a farmland far below, and even hit the body of a villager more than a half a kilometer away with great accuracy!

“Tiny ancestor, you’re causing trouble again.” The white fog ape condensed right next to him to block him from continuing his action.

“Big white, big white,” the child called out.

“Dong Bo Yu!”

An angry voice sounded out, followed by the white-clothed Xue Ying suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Such was the life of having a Realm Lord father…he could naturally appear anywhere and at any time!

The child immediately stopped peeing and turned his head to send a blank look toward Xue Ying.

“Do you understand that you were wrong?” Xue Ying was somewhat angry at his child’s behaviour. At the same time, he said, “White fog, go and give that villager some money.”

“Yes, master,” the white fog ape answered with reverence.

Xue Ying then turned back to stare at his son, who was merely nine months old.

The boy’s two sparkling black eyes stared straight at Xue Ying with a big smile, showing his deep naivety.

“I’m asking you: do you understand that what you did was wrong?” Xue Ying furiously repeated.

“I know, I know… I was wrong,” the child cleverly replied.

Xue Ying was so maddened that he was at a loss as to how to respond. This brat was always randomly making trouble. Just a while ago, he had even intentionally peed on himself. He was simply turning the heavens; trying to control him seemed fruitless.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying.” Jing Qiu suddenly joined them. “Don’t scare the child. Think about how old he is: he’s still only nine months old! Even if you try to instruct him now, he won’t understand. It’s better than you just guide him as best you can while taking your time. Ah, just forget it. I’ll take him with me. You just go ahead and practice your spear technique or whatnot.”

Xue Ying was helpless to reply in any way.

Both son and daughter grew up gradually. In fact, they were actually developing very fast, and they quickly learned knowledge of various sorts. They had also graduated from their naughty and troublesome behaviour to gradually become more obedient. After all, Xue Ying and Jing Qiu had both personally instructed them as role models. As they grew, the two also naturally left Xue Ying feeling more and more proud and happy. Before long, they no longer needed to rely on him at all.

At that point, Xue Ying turned his focus back to his own cultivation. Time passed year by year, and the natural bloodline possessed by Dong Bo Yu and Dong Bo Qing Yao proved very strong. The children quickly reached the Demigod while still in their youths without even having to cultivate. Furthermore, once they matured, the strength they could unleash would become even more valiant. They would be much stronger than any living being since the beginning of history and could easily compare to Deities.

However, they would still need to cultivate properly in order to become Deities. As for the matter of guiding and instructing the son and daughter pair, that was still left mainly up to Jing Qiu.

Gradually…

Mountain Lord He, Si Kong Yang, and various others began to die of old age, all of them having failed to open up their Deity Seas to become true Deities. However, Xue Ying secretly sent their souls into Crimson Rock Mountain, where he reconstructed their bodies and let them make their way once more inside that world covering more than a billion kilometers.

Of course, when it came to guiding and resurrecting souls, he would definitely do it for friends and relatives that he truly valued or made great contributions to the Xia Clan. His heart also held a certain balance, and he silently watched over those Transcendents.

Xue Ying became rather detached from the Xia Clan world. Nowadays, Transcendents would find it practically impossible to meet this legendary personage.

After all, his focus was still on cultivating to prepare for the the upcoming Bloodshed God Palace Myriad Flower Feast. He decided that he absolutely had to attend the event, though of course he would be sending his avatar over. It had already condensed its first Deity Heart using a grade two True Meaning, but it was still only at the Deity stage.

He had decided to attend the Myriad Flower Feast, in the first place, because it was so hard to come by opportunities to temper himself. Secondly, he had heard about the Myriad Flower True Fruit, which was a treasure which could provide benefits even to stage four World Deities and was rather helpful for cultivation. And last of all, he could use the event as a pretext to pay his respects to a powerful existence. Of course, he was going to do his best to become a disciple under as strong a powerful existence as possible. Although he had already met the Forefather, he understood that his future path of cultivation would be that much easier if he had more supporters behind his back. There was no way he would willingly invite trouble upon himself.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had already passed since the birth of his children.

“Dong Bo, quickly make your way to the Xia Imperial City.” Chao Qing, who was in charge of the Elder’s Association, sent over a transmission.
