Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Xie Family.
A man who looked to be around thirty paced back and forth outside a room. Beside him stood a child who looked about two years old.
Suddenly, the cry of a baby came from inside the room. The middle-aged man was overjoyed and hurriedly knocked on the door. "How is it? Has my wife given birth?"
But the midwife's anxious voice came from inside. "Lord Xie, Madam... Madam is carrying Dragon-Phoenix Twins this time. The older brother has already been born, but there is still the younger sister."
That was right. The man before them was Xie Tian, the father of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Only after another Half an Hour, when the second child was safely born, did Xie Tian finally let out a complete sigh of relief.
Although he and Hu Leyao were both Soul Masters with considerable cultivation, as a father and husband, he could not help feeling nervous.
The little boy at the side wore an innocent, delighted expression. "Dad, am I going to have younger siblings?"
Xie Tian crouched down and smiled as he patted Xie Yue's head. "That's right. Yue'er, you're a Brother now. You must set a good example from now on. If Dad and Mom are no longer by your side someday, you must protect your two younger siblings."
Xie Yue nodded heavily, his eyes filled with determination.
Then the door opened. Xie Tian strode inside, but instead of looking at the two children first, he checked on Hu Leyao. Seeing her pale face and the cold sweat on her forehead, he looked heartbroken. "Yao'er, how are you feeling now? It's all these two little brats' fault. Once they grow up, make sure they repay you properly!"
The two children: Fine, fine. You two are true love, and we were totally accidents.
Hu Leyao smiled. "Brother Tian, I've given birth before. How could there be any danger? It's just that carrying Dragon-Phoenix Twins this time consumed quite a bit of my stamina and Soul Power. All right, come take a look at the children."
The two infants, one boy and one girl, were wrapped in swaddling cloth and lay beside Hu Leyao's pillow.
"Yao'er, give them names. We agreed on this—Xie Yue takes my surname, while the second child takes yours."
Hu Leyao had originally wanted the boy to take Xie Tian's surname. After all, there were two children. Yet Xie Tian did not care about such distinctions. His family had only him left anyway, so whatever surname the three children took, he would love them all the same. Of course, his wife came first.
Hu Leyao laughed and scolded him. They were already an old married couple, yet he still said such mushy things.
In the end, the boy was named Hu Bai, and the girl was named Hu Liena.
Lying nearby, Hu Bai watched the two of them flaunt their affection and sighed inwardly. So these two are my Dad and Mom in this life?
When he heard the names Hu Liena and Xie Yue, the Brother introduced to him, he became certain. This was undoubtedly the world of Douluo Continent. He had apparently been reborn here after dying on Blue Star. Damn that Truck Driver!
Since Hu Leyao's second child in the original story had only been Hu Liena, Hu Bai clearly had not possessed someone else's body. He had undergone Fetal Transmigration.
There was little introduction to Hu Liena's parents in the original story, but one thing was certain: they had likely died for some reason before Hu Liena Awakened her Martial Soul. Didn't that mean he was destined to lose both parents as a child?
In another world, that would have been a classic protagonist template. But Hu Bai sighed inwardly. If possible, he still wanted to keep his parents by their side to take care of the three of them, at least so they would not die without explanation.
Because he had only been born not long ago, an infant's brain could not support too much thought. Soon afterward, he fell into a deep sleep.
Six years later.
Hu Bai and Hu Liena had both grown into exquisitely beautiful children capable of Charming all living beings, perfectly inheriting Hu Leyao's aura.
Hu Bai wore a white robe and had Snow White Long Hair. Though his face still retained some childishness, he was already a Handsome Man.
"Brother Bai, Nana, Father is taking you to Pope's Palace to Awaken Martial Soul today. Let's get going. I wonder whether the two of you will awaken Dad's Moon Blade Martial Soul or Mom's Demon Fox Martial Soul."
"I think Brother Bai and I will both awaken the Demon Fox Martial Soul. Mom said Martial Souls subtly influence a Soul Master's temperament, even before they awaken. Look at how naturally beautiful I am. And there's no need to mention Brother Bai—he's the best-looking among the three of us."
Hu Bai retorted helplessly, "Nana, you should say handsome. Who describes a man as beautiful? Or you could say I'm good-looking."
"Hmph, I won't. Bleh, bleh, bleh~~" Hu Liena stuck out her little tongue mischievously.
Xie Yue nodded. He strongly agreed with what his younger sister had said. As they walked, he said, "Nana has a point. Little brother, sometimes I feel you're far too clever for your age. At such a young age, you actually discovered that Whale Rubber was not merely an aphrodisiac—it could also improve a Soul Master's physique."
"If you hadn't submitted that discovery to Spirit Hall and kept Dad and Mom here two years ago, they might have already..."
Two years ago, Xie Yue had awakened the Moon Blade Martial Soul, with innate Soul Power at rank nine. Spirit Hall had then assigned a mission to Xie Tian and Hu Leyao, who had been resting for many years. There were suspected to be large numbers of Wolf Raiders within the Heaven Dou Empire, and the two of them were to lead Spirit Hall's Soul Masters to exterminate them.
Yet at that time, Hu Bai had seemingly gone mad. No matter what, he refused to let Xie Tian and Hu Leyao carry out the mission unless Spirit Hall dispatched a Titled Douluo to accompany them.
Naturally, Bibi Dong had initially rejected the request. Though Wolf Raiders were cunning by nature, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both powerful Soul Saints and even possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Dealing with a pack of Wolf Raiders should have been easy, shouldn't it?
But Hu Bai had felt a terrible premonition then, and it had been incredibly strong. He felt that if he did not do something, his parents might perish during that mission.
After all, in the original story, Tang San and his group had encountered Wolf Raiders and fought with great difficulty. Even with Tang San's cheat, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others had suffered considerable injuries.
An ordinary Wolf Raider might only possess the strength of a Soul Master at ranks twenty or thirty, but Wolf Raiders were pack creatures. Five hundred Wolf Raiders could fend off ten thousand soldiers.
And in this world of Douluo, whether even a Titled Douluo could hold off ten thousand soldiers was still debatable.
Titled Douluo were powerful, but their Soul Power was limited!
In the end, Bibi Dong personally used Soul Power to test Xie Yue's physique. Though he had only just Awakened his Martial Soul, he could already withstand a soul ring of around six hundred years, breaking through Yu Xiaogang's published First Soul Ring Theoretical Limit!
