Chapter 1177 Xi Shengmo’s Worries

?1177 Xi Shengmoʼs Worries

Xi Mingze had to take a moment to process the fact that Lan Yingying had been impregnated by a human, something she didnʼt think would be possible.

”This human… is he…?” Xi Mingze swallowed nervously as a certain individual appeared in her mind.

”Yes, itʼs Yuan. It happened recently, so it will be about a thousand years before I give birth.”

”I-I figured it would be him…” Xi Mingze felt her legs turn weak after confirming her suspicions.

”I understand your feelings very well, but if itʼs the Young Master, heʼs more than worthy.” Feng Yuxiang chuckled after seeing Xi Mingzeʼs reaction that was similar to hers when she first learned about Lan Yingyingʼs impregnation.

Lan Yingying nodded, silently agreeing with Feng Yuxiang.

”Anyways, the Young Master is not only kind, caring, and passionate, but heʼs also extremely talented. Although I donʼt know how heʼll react if Xi Meili asks to be his partner, I do know that heʼll gladly let her follow him.”

”Hell, if you knew the Young Masterʼs true identity, you would actually be begging him to allow Xi Meili to follow him.” Feng Yuxiang said with a profound smile on her face.

This made Xi Mingze raise her eyebrows. What Feng Yuxiang said could be considered rude to her, especially considering her familyʼs status.

Not only are the Xi Family Divine Dragons, they also come from a Royal Bloodline. In the outside world, they would have the highest authorities amongst dragons. With such exalted status, what sense would it make for them to beg to follow someone— a mere human, at that.

Seeing Xi Mingzeʼs puzzled expression, Feng Yuxiang couldnʼt help but smile. Unfortunately, she couldnʼt reveal Yuanʼs secret to her, as she didnʼt trust her enough, nor does she have the right to do so.

”Well, you will learn of the truth sooner or later— if Xi Meili is fated to follow him.” Feng Yuxiang shrugged.

Eventually, they started walking again.

Once they reached their rooms, Xi Mingze said to them, ”You can use any of the rooms here. If you need anything, you can speak with our servants. They will be posted at the entrance at all times.”

”Thank you.” Lan Yingying said.

Sometime later, Xi Mingze returned to Xi Shengmoʼs side.

”That took longer than I anticipated. What did you guys talk about?” He asked her in a nonchalant voice.

Xi Mingze sighed, ”I just wanted to learn more about Yuan, but I learned more than I probably should have.”

”What does that mean?” Xi Shengmo looked at her with raised eyebrows.

”I thought they were simply traveling companions, but those two Divine Beasts are actually his servants…”

”What?! Divine Beasts serving as servants?! But one of them is a phoenix! They are prideful beings that rival dragons in terms of their dignity! They would never serve someone, much less a human!”

Xi Mingze shook her head and said, ”Thatʼs nothing compared to what I learned next. That Divine Serpent, Lan Yingying, sheʼs actually pregnant… with Yuanʼs child.”

”Sheʼs what?!?!” Xi Shengmo stood up with his mouth and eyes wide open.

”You heard me. It happened recently, too.”

”...” Xi Shengmo sat down without controlling his weight, causing the chair to tremble.

”After learning this information, do you still support our daughter marrying him?” He asked her in a low voice.

”...”

Xi Mingze closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

”Regardless of my— our feelings, it will be our daughter who ultimately decides what she wants to do. If sheʼs okay with the whole situation, thereʼs nothing else I can say.”

Xi Shengmo sneered, ”Now thatʼs a load of bullshit. Even if heʼs related to the Ancestor, I simply cannot hand over our daughter to someone who is already in that kind of relationship with another Divine Beast— or Divine Beasts.”

Xi Mingze frowned and said, ”In that case, why did you set her up with the Azure Dragon Family? You know very well that their Patriarch has multiple wives and that their son will very likely do the same.”

”Y-You donʼt know that…”

”The hell I donʼt! I know very well that the man youʼve arranged for Xi Meili already has multiple fiancees! Youʼre just so desperate that you donʼt care who she spends her future with as long as she doesnʼt leave this world!” Xi Mingze shouted at him, revealing to him that she knows very well why he did not want Xi Meili to follow Yuan.

Indeed, if Xi Meili chooses to follow Yuan, she will have to leave their side and this world to go to the outside world, where humans are abundant.

”If anything happens to her outside, we wonʼt be able to protect her… Thereʼs a reason our ancestors decided to live away from humans in this secluded world. While Yuan may not be a bad person, Iʼm certain that there are countless humans out there who are filled with evil.”

”Itʼs not like the world here is all sunshine and rainbows, either…” Xi Mingze sighed.

”I am well aware of that, but at the very least, we can protect her from here, something we cannot do if she leaves our side.”

”When that happens, it will no longer be our job to protect her. Itʼll be whomever she decides to follow.”

Xi Shengmo stared at her with a serious expression and asked, ”Do you really think he has the power to protect her?”

Xi Mingze smiled and said, ”Did you not notice his cultivation?”

”What about his cultivation?” Xi Shengmo asked.

”Heʼs already a peak Spirit King. The last time we saw him, he was only a Spirit Grandmaster, and that was a year ago.”

”Thatʼs nothing special at all. There are plenty of people who can breakthrough at that speed.”

”That may be true for the people in the upper heavens, but he started in the Lower Heaven. In fact, we already saw the extent of his potential through the Dragon Awakening Ritual. He lit up all nine pillars! Thatʼs something even our ancestors couldnʼt do.”

When Xi Mingze reminded him of such an event, it caused him to go silent, as he couldnʼt act like that never happened.
