Chapter 0: 23. Shattered Profound Realm
After a discussion, they decided to rest and recuperate, and only officially explore the birthplace of Duoyu the next day.
That night, Qin Gou and Gu Feiyan gathered as they had many times before, carefully studying the growth of their ‘Little A’Yuan,’ their little angel, and wondering when she would be born.
Qin Gou also used the opportunity from the ‘Apricot Forest Sage Hand’ mission to treat Emperor Daojun Lin Boyuan, which granted him a high-level Emperor Weapon exchange opportunity. He redeemed a ‘Chiwen Whip’ and gave it to Xiao Yan, who was always seen with a whip.
Qin Yuan, who was known as the number one jealous person in the Cultivation World, did not join their “world of three.” He quietly went to pester the ‘Little Chair,’ who was always reluctant to refuse.
“Xiao Yan, your white hair seems to be increasing,” Qin Gou gently stroked Gu Feiyan’s soft long hair. He noticed that the bangs on her forehead were now mixed with a lot of silver hair, black and white interspersed. It wasn’t the kind of white hair that comes with old age, but rather like a deliberate highlight. Silver hair and a youthful face, it was striking.
The oblivious Xiao Yan had unknowingly become the forefront of fashion in the Cultivation World.
Upon hearing this, Gu Feiyan reflexively dodged backward, her cute face flushing slightly. “Before, when Mother saw me like this for the first time, she immediately wanted to pull it out by hand… it hurt!”
“But A’Yuan told me that you’re like this because you used your Natal Spirit Tool, Dao Po Tong, to save a large group of cultivators, right?” Qin Gou couldn’t help but tease her. “So, one day, when Xiao Yan has a full head of silver hair, she’ll truly be invincible!”
“I just feel that I’ve taken the Youth Preserving Pill that Xiao Qin gave me, yet this Natal Spirit Tool can still force me to grow white hair! And when I finally have a head full of white hair, will Xiao Qin think I look ugly?” Gu Feiyan asked with a light smile, testing him.
“How could that be? I think it looks quite good! And, if Xiao Yan says that, Tang Ni Zi would be very sad if she heard it!” Qin Gou chuckled in amusement.
Taiping Tower Master Mu Tangchun had silver hair without a single streak of impurities from the day she was born, which was the biggest difference between her and Qin Yuan.
Gu Feiyan was stunned for a moment and quickly said, “Xiao Mu is of course a very beautiful girl! It’s my fault for not explaining clearly… I just feel that I might not be suitable!”
“That’s right, A’Yuan and Tang Ni Zi are naturally rare beauties in the world! They are our children anyway, so we can praise them however we want!” As he spoke, Qin Gou slowly leaned down and rested his cheek on Gu Feiyan’s flat, soft abdomen.
After a while… To be honest, Old Qin didn’t understand anything. His spiritual power investigation only revealed a crystal-clear treasure orb floating near Xiao Yan’s Dantian. It wasn’t greedily absorbing Xiao Yan’s spiritual power but rather complementing it.
In A’Yuan’s words, this was the wonder of an Innate Special Being. As for the birth of ‘Little A’Yuan,’ she could easily predict it, but Qin Gou and Gu Feiyan always avoided hearing it.
“Xiao Qin, I suddenly have a question,” Gu Feiyan looked down at Qin Gou, her fair little hand gently resting on his cheek, her tone serious. “Have you thought of a name for the child?”
“Didn’t you already decide, Xiao Yan? Her name is Qin Yuan…”
Halfway through his sentence, Qin Gou’s expression stiffened.
Qin Yuan… she was in the next room!
If this child were also named Qin Yuan, wouldn’t it be inconvenient?
“Let me think,” Qin Gou pondered. “In front of us, her nickname can still be ‘Little A’Yuan,’ but for her official name when facing outsiders later, how about ‘Gu Yuan’?”
“The homophone doesn’t sound good,” Gu Feiyan quickly shook her head. “Especially since the child’s father is named Qin Gou, cough, Qin Gou, it’s easier for people to associate it with the homophone ‘ancient ape’ clan.”
“How come I feel like Xiao Yan is scolding me?”
“Xiao Qin, you have such sharp intuition!”
“Cough, it’s getting late, time to turn off the lights!”
“Pervert??”
“I’m here!”
The Next Morning.
Qin Yuan was specially informed that because her father was a rough person and her mother was not educated, the two irresponsible parents had unanimously decided to entrust you with the glorious task of naming ‘yourself!’
…
“Everyone, from now on, please keep close to me and do not stray. Even I, who was born here, cannot guarantee I know all the hidden dangers by 100%,” Duoyu earnestly cautioned everyone.
“Now, I will lead you all to a birthplace of a Sacred Artifact that I am somewhat familiar with. Yes, in Qin Gou’s words, she is my junior.”
Soon, everyone gradually entered the true core area. An unusual atmosphere flowed through everyone’s hearts. The most direct observation was that the spiritual energy in this area was clearly more abundant than in the top-tier Blessed Lands of many first-class sects, yet it was eerily quiet and deathly still.
Besides large areas of vegetation, there were some stone ruins severely eroded by time. Not a single bird or beast could be seen.
“Boss Qin!”
Suddenly, Mo Qingxin’s voice sounded in Qin Gou’s mind.
“If my divine sense is not mistaken, this is not the ruins of an ancient artifact refining sect but a shattered Little Profound Realm!”
“Thank you, Xiao Chong. I know,” Qin Gou nodded subtly. Mo Qingxin herself had once been the Realm Lord of a human-god realm and still possessed complete Little Profound Realms like the Hidden Female Country. Her words were highly credible.
“Shattered Little Profound Realm?”
Upon hearing Qin Gou’s information, Duoyu shrugged. “My cultivation system is different from yours, humans, so I can’t make any accurate judgments. However, I don’t think this has much to do with our objective, does it?”
“How could it not be related?” Qin Gou retorted. “Every Little Profound Realm has its owner. I wonder if the ruler of this Little Profound Realm is still alive!”
“Of course not! How many years have I, Duoyu, been born? If that person were still alive, I would have met them long ago. Why haven’t I ever seen any ruler give me orders here?” Duoyu waved his hand, full of confidence.
At the Same time, a pair of gloomy eyes opened in the darkness.
He quietly observed Qin Gou, then quickly swept his gaze over everyone accompanying him. Finally, he fixed his stare on Ao Banwei, suddenly becoming incoherent and roaring hysterically.
“Qin Gou? Nine Saint Monarch? No, this is impossible! What kind of beings are you two, to break your promise and go back on your word!”
“Didn’t you say you could let me live? Demon God! These two scoundrels… why are they here again?!”
