Chapter 2 (1/2)
Yun Xiao Qing pouts. Suddenly, a look of unease appears on her face and sighs lightly. She mutters soft, “If he were to know of that matter, what would he think of it? Will he be repulsed by it?”
After saying that, she bit her lips and she unintentionally placed her hands on her womb.
Yun Jian smiles and replies, “Silly sister, just rest easy. Hei Lang will definitely like it.”
Yun Xiao Qing looks unsure as she stares at Yun Jian. She questions, “Big brother, how would you know?”
Yun Jian bursts into laughter. He shakes his head and he consoles her, “You are his childhood friend and the both of you grew up together. Other people might not understand of your relations.h.i.+p, but don’t you trust him? Besides, as a Cultivator, the price to pay for stealing from the heavens to attain supreme power is that it is hard for us to have descendants. The higher realm that a person reaches, the even harder it is for them. To have his child so early on, this is something to celebraye about. Do you think Hei Lang will be mad about it?”
A sparkle twinkles in Yun Xiao Qing’s eyes. A ripple seems to appear in her jewel-like eyes, making it look bright but with a hint of depth to it. After a short moment, she finally nods her head and a hint of a smile resurfaces on her face. She replies, “Big brother, what you said makes sense.”
Yun Jian smiles as she pats Yun Xiao Qing’s head dotingly. He says, “In any case, I am looking forward to the birth of my nephew. Right, I forgot to tell you. Father also knows about this.”
“Ah!” Yun Xiao Qing instantly jumps in fright as her face turns red from embarra.s.sment and anger. She complains furiously, “Big brother, why did you go and spread it around? Now, I will be severely reprimanded by father.”
Yun Jian laughs, “Why would father scold you over nothing? I will tell you straightforwardly, father is very happy over this!”
Yun Xiao Qing’s eyes widen in disbelief, “Are you sure?”
Yun Jian replies, “Of course. Otherwise, why do you think Hei Lang would be able to enter the forbidden valley and even join in the Fallen G.o.d Curse ceremony? Even if he possesses the secret art to gather the Blood Soul Crystal, but at this final crucial period, it is also equally possible to exclude him from it.”
Yun Xiao Qing mumbles softly, “You mean, father intends to…”
Yun Jian smiles and continues to speak, “Naturally, it is because he knows he is going to have a grandson, so he is finally truly viewing Hei Lang as a member of his family. As our cultivation skill clashes with the Fallen G.o.d Curse, we cannot approach the valley. However, Hei Lang is of the bloodline of the Blood-burning Crystal, which makes it suitable for him to approach the G.o.d Curse. If he doesn’t take this opportunity to raise the status of his future son-in-law, who would do it?”
A look of relief and happiness appears on Yun Xiao Qing’s face and she nods her head continuously. She sets her gaze towards the dark valley as her hands come together at her chest. She mutters a prayer, “May everything go well so that everyone can return safely.”
After finis.h.i.+ng those words, she scan the surroundings with her peripheral vision and after catches sight in something, she lets out a ‘ah’, as though pleasantly surprised by something.
Yun Jian turns to look at her, only to see Yun Xiao Qing walking to one corner and picking something up from the wild gra.s.s.
Yun Jian looks carefully at it and sees a red flower. He hears Yun Xiao Qing laughs delightfully and she says, “Big brother, look, the acacia flowers have bloomed.”
Yun Jian shrugs. This acacia flower is a common flower that can could seen all over the wilderness. There is no Spirit Mark on it and it isn’t a spiritual medicine either. It is completely useless to cultivators. So, he replies snappily, “Isn’t it just a stalk of wild flower, why are you making such a big fuss for?”
Yun Xiao Qing ignores him. She happily places the stalk of red acacia flower into her hands to looks at it. Then, she replies, “This flower bloomed so beautifully, this must be a good omen.”
