Chapter 488 The Son
Seeing his confused expression, Ye Xiaoling spoke to Chen Li. "Unlike a human baby, a beast baby has started cultivating since it was in its mother's womb, and it happened because of the connection between them, so you don't need to be surprised by your daughter's cultivation. Moreover, you also often dual-cultivated with your wife when she was pregnant, and it also helped your daughter, even though she could only absorb a tiny portion of your yang qi."
Chen Li was not surprised to hear Ye Xiaoling's last sentence, especially since she was a powerful cultivator, so it was no surprise that she could figure it out. However, he is still confused about several things about his daughter, especially her form. "Actually, I thought that Xian'er would lay eggs because she herself was born from an egg, but my daughter's birth was no different from a human baby."
Hearing that, Lin Qingzhu and the others turned to Chen Li and Ye Xiaoling, as they also felt confused about it.
Ye Xiaoling smiled amusedly at their expressions. "You guys are still novice cultivators, so it's natural that you don't understand many things yet, and you have the wrong idea about beasts. For the beasts who can't turn into humans, they will breed like beasts in general, but the beasts that have turned into humans are no different from normal women."
Suddenly, they frowned as the heat increased drastically, and the crimson sky turned golden, causing the entire realm to feel the heat hotter than before. Even Feng Bing'er melted at a fast pace, but she immediately released her full power and recreated them.
Even so, Chen Li felt something familiar from the heat generated by the phenomenon of his son's birth. 'What the hell is going on? This heat is similar to my golden flames, but Sister Hei and the others once told me that my child cannot possibly have my bloodline because it is not passable.
"Judging from this heat, your son is not an ordinary phoenix, and he will probably be born different from other phoenixes." Chen Li turned to Ye Xiaoling, but she shook her head at him. "I don't have a clear answer, but I've met several phoenixes in the past, so I'm quite familiar with the heat of their flames, and this heat is completely different from theirs."
[Master, the woman is right; your son is not an ordinary phoenix, but we can only confirm it after he is born.] Xiao Hei suddenly said to him. [Anyway, those people will arrive soon, so you better be prepared.]
Xiao Kong'er also spoke to him. [They can't break through this formation, but I will prepare something to repel them if they want to cause trouble, Little Master.]
Hearing that, Chen Li opened his map, and he saw six green dots moving quickly from all directions towards his residence, so he checked their names one by one.
'Hmm? Xue Lan was the Sect Master of the Mystic Moon Sect, and Huo Lingxun was supposed to be the Sect Master of the Blazing Moon Sect, especially since his Huo Clan was the founder of that sect. But who are Leng Qiaolan and Wang Yu? Could they be members of the Bright Moon Sect? Moreover, their cultivation is very high, and the highest is at the 9th Stage of Sovereign Realm.' Chen Li then focused on the other two green dots. 'Oh? As expected, Bai Lanhua is the ruler of this realm, so she would definitely come here, but I didn't expect that she would bring her little brother, Bai Yuntian.'
"Mom, I want you to go back to your room now, and you can take Yan'er with you." Before Lin Qingzhu could interrupt him, Chen Li directly told her. "The ruler of this realm and the sect masters from other sects will arrive soon, and I don't want them to know about my daughter."
"All right." Lin Qingzhu immediately took Feng Yan'er from Feng Ao's hands, and she took her away to her room, while Dongfang Wenxin followed them. After that, Xiao Kong'er enveloped the eastern courtyard with void walls, so those people would not be able to find them.
Chen Li then asked Di Xiong. "Who are Leng Qiaolan and Wang Yu?"
"Hmm?" Di Xiong was taken aback for a moment after he heard that. "Did they come here?"
"Yes."
"Kid, you have to be careful with those two because they are greedy, and I'm sure that they will target your children." Chen Li turned to Zi Gang, who immediately told him again. "Leng Qiaolan is the ancestor of the Leng Clan, and Wang Yu is the ancestor of the Wang Clan. Besides, they are the people behind the Bright Moon Sect, so I think they came here for your children, especially since they are very ambitious to improve the reputation of their sect, which has always lagged behind ours."
"What is the relationship between Leng Qiaolan and Leng Yueyan?"
Di Xiong told him straight away. "Both of them came from the Leng Clan in the eastern region, and Leng Yueyan's father, Leng Taiqing, was Leng Qiaolan's nephew. Even so, their relationship was never harmonious, which happened because of the struggle for status as the main successor of the clan."
Such a thing did not surprise them, especially given how frequently it occurred on Earth, and Chen Wei'er questioned him. "What happened between them, Uncle Xiong?"
"The Leng Clan used to be very harmonious, but everything changed because of the actions of Leng Qiaolan's brother, Leng Wuya." Di Xiong answered with a soft sigh. "Back then, he already had a son named Leng Haojun, and he was the child of his first wife. However, he forcibly violated a maidservant, and she also gave birth to a son for him."
"I see." Chen Li could already understand the situation in the clan. "So Leng Qiaolan prefers Leng Haojun as the successor of the Leng Clan, but Leng Wuya prefers Leng Taiqing to be the successor, right?"
"That's right."
Zi Gang joined in explaining to him. "Even though Leng Taiqing is the second son, he is more talented than Leng Haojun, but the members of the Leng Clan cannot accept him. Despite his talent, he is the son of a maidservant, and they think that he is not worthy to be the successor. In order to maintain peace in the clan, he decided to give in and let his brother become the next patriarch, so he took his wife, and Leng Yueyan left the clan."
"Tch! They are a bad family." Xiao Xianglin commented with an angry expression. "Even though Leng Taiqing is the son of a maidservant, he is still a descendant of their clan, and he also has the right to be the successor, so they shouldn't treat him like that."
"You're not wrong about that, little girl. However, humans are always like that, right?" They nodded in agreement with Zi Gang. "Many of them place importance on family, but there are also many of them who prefer wealth and status over family, and Leng Qiaolan is one of them."
"After Leng Haojun became their patriarch, the situation in the Leng Clan became messy, so Leng Wuya wanted to call his second son back to replace his brother, but all of them strongly rejected his decision." However, Chen Li sensed that something was off about this, and Di Xiong's subsequent words confirmed his suspicion. "Shortly after that, Leng Taiqing was found dead, and his wife suspected that the culprit was Leng Qiaolan, especially since she hated her husband so much. Even so, she didn't intend to do anything about it, as she didn't have the strength to fight them, so she brought Leng Yueyan to move to this city."
Chen Li sighed heavily while shaking his head after he heard that, and he then asked them again. "What about Wang Yu?"
"Wang Yu is no different from Leng Qiaolan, but I don't know for sure about the events within the Wang Clan." Zi Gang answered Chen Li's question, and Di Xiong also shook his head, as he didn't know anything about the clan.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaoling spoke to them. "Those two people are indeed greedy and vicious, but they are still nothing compared to Bai Yuntian. However, he can't do anything because of Bai Lanhua's existence, and she always keeps him in check."
"Hmm?" Chen Li turned to her in surprise. "Is he really that kind of person?"
"Yes, you can find out later after they arrive." Ye Xiaoling replied with a nod before looking up into the sky. "Xue Lan is here."
But Chen Li suddenly acted strange when he saw Xue Lan, and he just stood in his spot silently while continuing to stare at her intensely.
Xue Lan felt confused by Chen Li's intense gaze, especially since she had never met him before, but she suddenly trembled when she saw his eyes turn golden, and a golden aura also enveloped her body. "Impossible! How... how could he have those golden eyes and golden aura?"
Hearing that, Yu Hua took Chen Li's hand and asked him. "Do you recognize that woman, husband?"
His attitude also perplexed Chen Li's other wives, but suddenly the temperature rose sharply; even Feng Bing'er melted completely, and another phoenix silhouette appeared in the sky.
However, they were perplexed after seeing that phoenix silhouette, as it was not crimson but golden, and Chen Li murmured softly. "A golden phoenix! I didn't expect that my son would inherited my golden flames."
