Chapter 554: I Want A Child
On the opposite side, the robed old man\'s brows furrowed as his gaze fell on Ye Qingqing and the other two. A hint of solemnity could be seen in his eyes.
He was about to speak when Ye Qingqing suddenly disappeared and the hum of a sword suddenly echoed in the arena.
Following closely behind, Slaughter and White Skirt Destiny also vanished.
The three attacked at the same time!
Roaring in anger, the three Divine Generals in the distance simultaneously slammed their palms down.
Three fierce galaxies came crashing down on Ye Qingqing and the others.
"Aunt Qingqing!" Ye Guan worriedly shouted. "Use this!"
Ye Qingqing turned to Ye Guan, finding him with his palm open. He had thrown the Qingxuan Sword toward her hand.
With her eyes still on him, she caught the Qingxuan Sword. She then transformed into a sword light and charged toward one of the Divine Generals.
Woosh!
Using decay and collapse, Ye Qingqing instantly shattered the galaxy coming toward her and cut apart the Divine General who had unleashed it.
Ye Guan couldn\'t help but sigh in relief. With Ye Qingqing wielding the Qingxuan Sword, she seemed nigh-invincible.
His aunts made quick work of the three Divine Generals. Realizing that things were not going in his favor, the old man in the divine robe escaped. They had been completely suppressed!
Ye Qingqing turned around and slowly made her way to Ye Guan. She then handed the Qingxuan Sword back to him.
Just as Ye Guan was about to catch the sword, it transformed into a sword light and soared into the sky until it disappeared from view.
Ye Guan froze. What just happened?
Ye Qingqing watched the speechless Ye Guan with amusement.
Noticing the situation, White Skirt Destiny offered him some comfort. "Your father is likely afraid that you will rely too much on external objects. Don\'t overthink it. You are definitely his biological son."
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
He hadn\'t thought about it that way. White Skirt Destiny\'s reminder made him feel that something was wrong.
"That aside, the three of us have come up with an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
"I don\'t need to hear it," Ye Guan immediately answered.
The three women\'s eyebrows furrowed.
Much to their surprise, however, Ye Guan quickly added, "I\'ll just do whatever you say."
White Skirt Destiny smiled. "You little rascal!"
Slaughter shook her head and smiled as well. This kid certainly inherited some traits from his old man. He can be a bit mischievous at times.
"We\'ve decided to take you on an adventure. Will you come with us?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. "With you three?"
She glared at him as she rested her left thumb on the hilt of her sword. "You wish! You can only choose one! Now, decide!"
Ye Guan\'s expression hardened. What the hell are they trying to say?
All three women were expectantly staring at Ye Guan.
Ye Qingqing\'s expression was as cold as a block of ice, while White Skirt Destiny\'s gentle smile seemed like a warm summer breeze. Slaughter was also smiling, but hers had a hint of playfulness in it.
Ye Guan was in a dilemma.
Whom should I choose?
No matter who he chose, it would definitely offend the other two.
Ye Guan looked at Ye Qingqing. She has to be doing this on purpose. This is hard!
"Don\'t think too much. Hurry up and choose," Ye Qingqing demanded.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ye Guan began, "I want to learn from you all, but if I can only choose one..."
He looked at the three. "Can I ask a question before I answer?"
"No, you have to answer now," Ye Qingqing replied.
Ye Guan\'s expression darkened.
Smiling, White Skirt Destiny countered, "Go ahead."
"If my father could only pick one out of you three to be his sister, whom would he choose?"
The smiles on his aunts\' faces disappeared.
"I\'ll choose whomever he would pick."
I see nothing wrong with this method.
Little Pagoda couldn\'t help but admire Ye Guan. The bastard was really unbeatable at shifting the blame. Rather than the King of Relying on Others, he should be called the Blame-Shifting King instead.
Ye Qingqing coldly sneered at Ye Guan, who, in turn, pretended not to notice.
White Skirt Destiny smiled. "You just passed the problem to your father, you sneaky kid."
Ye Guan smiled awkwardly. He definitely couldn\'t answer Ye Qingqing\'s question. Although his aunts were understanding, they would still be offended no matter his answer. He didn\'t want to offend anyone. I\'ll let my father handle this! What else is he good for if not to bear the blame?
At this moment, Slaughter said, "Go with Qingqing."
Ye Qingqing snorted, "Forget it. Little Seven, you should take him! He likes gentle people."
Ye Guan did not dare to speak. If he said anything at this moment, it would just be asking to die.
White Skirt Destiny laughed. "He\'s a bit cunning. It would be best for you to take care of him, Qingqing. If you put him under my care, I\'d likely end up spoiling him."
Ye Guan turned to White Skirt Destiny. Among all his aunts that he had interacted with, she was undoubtedly the gentlest. Aunt Qingqiu was gentle too, but he hadn\'t spent that much time with her.
Noticing Ye Guan\'s gaze, Ye Qingqing said, "He likes your gentle demeanor, Little Seven. Bring him with you."
White Skirt Destiny exchanged glances with Slaughter. Smiling, she shook her head.
Why were they behaving so awkwardly?
"Why not take care of me in turns? I want to learn from you all anyway."
"I like that proposal," White Skirt Destiny said.
Slaughter nodded. "I see no problems with it."
Ye Qingqing simply glanced at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan couldn\'t help but smile. He was looking forward to learning swordsmanship from them.
Although he had grown a lot stronger, his enemies had also been becoming increasingly powerful. Moreover, he still had a lot to learn about the Sword Dao Realm and other realms. He had relied solely on fighting to improve himself all this time, but it was no longer enough!
"Little Seven, you go with him first. Slaughter and I will distract the Past Clan," Ye Qingqing suggested.
White Skirt Destiny nodded. "Alright."
Curious, Ye Guan asked, "Distract the opponents from the Past Clan?"
Ye Qingqing glanced at him. "Next time we meet, I want to spar with you. Prepare yourself."
Ye Guan\'s face darkened. Just say you want to beat me up. No need to mask it as sparring.
Slaughter and Ye Qingqing soon turned and left, leaving behind Ye Guan and White Skirt Destiny.
White Skirt Destiny smiled. "Would you like to see your partners first?"
"Will our journey take long?" Ye Guan asked.
White Skirt Destiny shook her head. "I don\'t know, but you don\'t have much time either way since the Past Clan definitely won\'t be letting you roam free forever. I\'m not sure how long Qingqing and the Yang Clan can hold them off either."
"I\'ll go see them, then."
"Alright." She opened her palm. "I\'ll take you there."
Ye Guan momentarily hesitated. Instead of holding her hand, he grabbed her sleeve.
White Skirt Destiny shook her head with a smile. "You\'re quite thoughtful."
She grabbed Ye Guan\'s arm with her other hand. Trembling, she turned into a streak of sword light and disappeared.
...
Dark Emperor World.
The war in the Dark Emperor World was still underway. With Qin Guan personally guarding the place, breaking through it proved difficult. The Gui Clan, the invaders, had already suffered heavy losses, yet they still hadn\'t mobilized their entire clan.
Upon returning to the Dark Emperor World, Ye Guan and White Skirt Destiny met up with Nalan Jia. She had arrived not long ago, but Ye Guan had already left to save Cijing by then.
Ye Guan\'s return made the heavy stone in Nalan Jia\'s heart fall. Although married, they had been apart for so long. Hence, they naturally clung to each other when they finally reunited.
Unfortunately, Ye Guan only had a day!
In the room, by the window, he gently held Nalan Jia. She was wearing a long, light-red dress and had her long hair cascading down her shoulders. Aware that Ye Guan would be leaving soon, her unmatched beauty bore a faint sadness.
"How is the situation in the Guanxuan Universe?" Ye Guan softly asked.
Despite being the king of the Guanxuan Universe, he had hardly paid attention to its affairs. Since inheriting the family business, he had either been fighting or on the way to battle. Life was proving too difficult.
"Everything is fine. Don\'t worry," Nalan Jia whispered as she opened her palm.
A strand of sword energy appeared in her hand. Plain Skirt Destiny had left it to her.
Unlike others, this strand of sword energy didn\'t disappear after use. Considering it only appeared whenever Nalan Jia was in mortal danger, it could be considered the strongest protective talisman.
Nalan Jia handed it to Ye Guan. "Keep it."
However, Ye Guan shook his head.
Before Nalan Jia could say anything, Ye Guan said, "Aunt gave that to you. Keep it."
Nalan Jia looked straight into his eyes. "You\'re in more danger out there."
Ye Guan smiled. "Danger can make me grow. If I have this strand of sword energy on me, I really will have nothing to fear."
The only exception to that would be the lady in white.
"I want a child," Nalan Jia suddenly whispered.
Ye Guan was stunned. A child?
Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan. "Is it okay?"
Ye Guan nodded. He then threw Little Pagoda out of the room.
Little Pagoda was speechless.
Outside the window, a pillar-like thunderbolt pierced through the deep, dark sky. Soon, raindrops began to fall. It started small, gentle, and slow. The thunder was no different, rolling in softly. However, as time passed, the thunder grew louder and louder, and the rain became increasingly heavier. Eventually, the downpour became more like silver threads fiercely piercing through the flowers and grass...
The thunder, the rain, and the splashes on the ground echoed across the area. After who knew how long, a loud thunderclap echoed. The rain suddenly surged, like a dam bursting and allowing water to pour down for miles...
