Xiao Se looked at Zhu Kun and continued to ask, "By the way, Zhu Kun Senior, I have a wife whose true form is also a Dragon, and she has been pregnant for half a year. I wonder if the Void Ancient Dragon clan possesses a secret technique similar to the Snake-People Tribe's to enhance an infant's Aptitude? If so, I, Xiao Se, am willing to exchange anything for it at any cost."
"You must be talking about that young girl named Gu Yuena. Zi Yan mentioned her to me before."
Zhu Kun paused slightly and said, "There is one, but the Bloodline must be sufficiently powerful. The strength of the Bloodline must be at least no lower than that of an ordinary Void Ancient Dragon clansman. Back then, Zi Yan used the highest grade of this secret technique. Unfortunately, during the years I was trapped, she accidentally ingested a Transformation Grass, which restricted her growth. Otherwise, at her normal growth rate, even if she just ate every day without Cultivating like she did, she would at least be a Dou Zun by now."
Xiao Se suddenly realized. Indeed, considering Zi Yan possessed what could be called the strongest Demonic BeastBloodline on the Fighting Qi Continent, and after eating wildly for thousands of years, she was only a Dou Wang upon her introduction. Thinking about it, it was indeed abnormal.
Zhu Kun continued, "Since that girl's true form is a Dragon, the child shouldn't be born so quickly. Next time, bring her to Ancient Dragon Island to take a look. If the Bloodline strength is sufficient, it might be possible."
"Many thanks, Dragon Emperor Senior." Xiao Se bowed in salute.
"There is no need for thanks. Just remember to refine a few more Medicinal Pills for my daughter next time. That girl is extremely greedy for the Medicinal Pills you refine. I shall take my leave now." As he spoke, without any movement from Zhu Kun, a spatial rift automatically tore open behind him. The rift closed, enveloping him, and Zhu Kun's figure vanished without a trace in an instant.
"Big Brother, you must properly introduce me to that sister named Gu Yuena another day." As soon as Zhu Kun left, Xun'er immediately lowered her head, her eyes obscured by shadows, transforming into a dark little loli.
Xiao Se's mouth twitched. As expected, once a loli is sliced open, their heart is black. He immediately changed the subject, "I'll introduce you when I have time. In seven days, we will enter the Heavenly Tomb. The urgent priority is to refine Medicinal Pills. These next few days, you should spend more time bonding with Xue'er. I'm going to do some Alchemy now."
As he spoke, Xiao Se gave Xiao Xue a wink.
Xiao Xue understood in a second. Very sensibly, she took hold of Xun'er's hand and smiled, "Xun'er, let my dad refine his Medicinal Pills in peace. I know a lot about him, you know. You can ask me anything you want to know."
Xun'er's eyes lit up, "Then many thanks, Xue'er."
As they spoke, the two girls held hands and happily disappeared from the pavilion.
Watching the spot where the two girls had vanished, Xiao Se's mouth twitched. This little girl wouldn't spill everything, would she? Surely not... right?
"It seems your daughter and my daughter get along quite well, but why do I feel like the seniority is strange? It's all a bit chaotic." Gu Yuan first smiled faintly, then frowned.
"Xue'er's situation is quite special. Aside from her mother and my younger sister, she refers to all my other women as sisters," Xiao Se explained.
"I can see that. But having said that, just how many women do you have, kid?" Gu Yuan's eyes revealed a suspicious gaze.
Long Kui, Bibi Dong, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, Gu Yuena, Xiao Yu, Li Hanyi, Dongfang Huaizhu, Xun'er, Xiao Yu.
Xiao Se counted in his heart and answered frankly, "Counting Xun'er, those with whom I have established a relationship, there are exactly twelve."
"Pfft." Gu Yuan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. When it came to women, he could be considered to have seen great storms and waves, otherwise, he wouldn't have had Xun'er at over a thousand years old. But even with his composure, he had never seen such a situation: establishing relationships with twelve women simultaneously, and the kind maintained by genuine feelings, at that.
"Then what about those without an established relationship?" Gu Yuan subconsciously asked another question.
"Fifteen." There were also Die, the little female Dragon, and Qing Lin.
"You're amazing." Gu Yuan gave a thumbs up.
"Don't just talk about me. You're not bad yourself, Father-in-law. You haven't lost your edge; at over a thousand years old, you were still able to have Xun'er. I am still young, so naturally, the more the merrier." Xiao Se smiled faintly and changed the subject, "By the way, what about Xun'er's mother? Why have I never heard Xun'er mention her?"
"Sigh," Gu Yuan sighed softly, "Her mother was just an ordinary descendant of the Ancient Clan. Her talent wasn't strong, and she didn't like fighting. Relying on the support of the Ancient World's resources, she barely reached the Dou Zun level. When she gave birth to Xun'er, because the Dou Di Bloodline within Xun'er was too powerful, and her mother's health was already poor, among a series of other reasons, she passed away shortly after giving birth to Xun'er."
"Not even her Soul remained?" Xiao Se asked in confusion.
Gu Yuan shook his head, a flash of pain appearing in his eyes, "You simply cannot imagine the situation back then."
Hearing this, Xiao Se nodded thoughtfully. While stroking his chin, he said, "It seems that having offspring with an overly powerful Dou Di Bloodline also comes with certain risks. If the Bloodline is too strong and the mother is too weak, it is very likely to cause fatal damage to the mother."
"That can be understood that way," Gu Yuan said. "Alright, if you want to perform Alchemy, just do it here. The buildings in the Ancient World are all reinforced with special spatial Restrictions, so they are not easily damaged, and no one will come to disturb you here."
Xiao Se nodded, then muttered a sentence that nearly made Gu Yuan's jaw drop, "It seems that before becoming a Dou Di, I must work hard to have my wives give birth to children. Otherwise, once I become a Dou Di, the children will inherit a powerful Bloodline, and my wives could very likely face unpredictable risks."
Gu Yuan's face twitched as he scolded, "Kid, I don't care about the others, but before Xun'er becomes a Dou Sheng, you are not allowed to touch her."
"Got it, got it. Go do your own thing. I won't joke around with the future of my own women." Xiao Se waved his hand impatiently.
Gu Yuan glared at Xiao Se, clearly unconvinced.
Today, he had truly learned of Xiao Se's prowess.
Talent and potential were secondary; the key was his thick skin. He had never seen one so thick; it was catching up to the boundary wall of the Ancient World.
Seven days passed in a flash. During these seven days, nine-colored thunderclouds would rise from time to time within the Ancient World.
This was the effect caused by Xiao Se's Alchemy.
The Ancient World also had quite a few Alchemists.
Although they could not approach or disturb Xiao Se due to Gu Yuan's orders, they all watched from afar. Seeing Xiao Se refine Peak Rank 8 Medicinal Pills as easily as eating and drinking, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Even the depression they originally felt because Xiao Se had taken Xun'er away was swept away.
Replacing it was awe.
This was, after all, a World that looked at strength. As long as you had strength, you could gain everyone's respect.
Seven days later, Xiao Se held Xiao Xue with his left hand and Xun'er with his right hand. Under Gu Yuan's escort, the journey to the Heavenly Tomb finally began.
