No way, no way!
The moment Qian Renhaotian saw Qian Xunji, he was speechless.
He seemed to understand what was going on.
He hadn't expected reincarnation to actually exist.
What left him speechless was that he, the dignified Fire Dragon King, had become Feng's son.
This was going to be the death of him!
He felt he'd let down his old father, the Dragon God!
It seemed that when Feng had undergone Nirvana Rebirth back then, he had also been reborn indirectly.
My mother wasn't a pure human. She was a Soul Beast who had re-cultivated herself into human form.
The Fire Dragon King knew perfectly well that even if his soul and consciousness had been in some hazy state, he would never have chosen to be born as a human.
Qian Xunji also found Qian Renhaotian familiar. He was sure he'd seen him somewhere before.
After thinking it over carefully, he came to a guess.
Qian Renhaotian began looking around at his surroundings, and couldn't help sighing to himself. He hadn't expected Feng to have done so well in the human world.
Holding Qian Renhaotian, Qian Xunji moved away from Leng Lingyuan, Xue Ying, Ah Yin, and the others, then tentatively called out, "Fire Dragon King?"
Qian Renhaotian nodded his little head and answered with a soft "Mm."
So it really was him. Qian Xunji was just as speechless. He hadn't expected the Fire Dragon King to have survived after all, then become his son by such an unlikely twist of fate. So much for his self-awareness having faded away.
What complete nonsense!
But come to think of it, having someone who'd once been a God King as his son felt pretty good.
Qian Xunji immediately said, "Fire Dragon King, now that you've been given a second life, you have to forget that you were once the Fire Dragon King. You're my son now. My blood runs through your body. Your name is Qian Renhaotian. Understand?"
"Haotian, hurry up and call me Dad. Let me hear it."
"Uh, isn't that a little awkward?" Qian Renhaotian was speechless too. What did Qian Xunji mean, his body carried Feng's blood? This Fire Dragon body had been his from the start, all right!
As soon as Qian Xunji heard that Qian Renhaotian didn't want to call him "Dad," he immediately got upset. He threatened him viciously, "Haotian, if you don't call me Dad, I'll strangle you right now."
"Feng, you repaid my kindness with betrayal. You should remember that I gave you my body and Godhead back then."
"Haotian, spare me the useless nonsense. Given your crippled state at the time, I could have obtained it unharmed even if you hadn't given me the Fire Dragon King's body."
"I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to call me Dad or not? I'll give you ten seconds to think it over. If you don't, I'll strangle you the moment they're up."
Qian Renhaotian fell silent for a long while, then finally chose to bow his head. He needed to stay alive so he could avenge the brothers and sisters who had died.
"Dad."
Qian Xunji's face instantly lit up with delight. "That's my boy! Now that's more like it."
Qian Renhaotian immediately pouted, unwilling, making his speechlessness and resistance plain.
Qian Xunji promptly scolded him. "Haotian, what kind of expression is that? Wipe it off your face, or I'll strangle you."
Qian Renhaotian had figured it out: Qian Xunji really was petty.
While Qian Xunji and Qian Renhaotian were enjoying their loving father-and-son moment, the system's reward notification rang out as well.
"Qian Renhaotian's aptitude is at the Golden Deity level. Congratulations, Host. You have received a five-level increase to your soul cultivation, the special cultivation method Life Transference, and the special cultivation method Yin-Yang Healing."
"In one minute, the Host's soul cultivation will be increased. Please prepare."
A light screen appeared.
The system explained the two cultivation methods.
[Life Transference (Special Cultivation Method)] [Use the life force of other living beings to heal yourself or your allies.] [If the target's cultivation is lower than the Host's, the Host can forcibly draw out their life force. If their cultivation is equal to or higher than the Host's, their consent is required before their life force can be drawn out.]
[Yin-Yang Healing (Special Cultivation Method)] [Use the power of yin-yang union to heal both parties, or the injuries of one party.]
"One minute has passed. The system will now impart soul cultivation and knowledge of the cultivation methods to the Host."
As the system's voice faded again, Qian Xunji felt two forces surge into his body.
One increased his soul power, while the other broadened his horizons and enriched his knowledge.
About two minutes later, the system finished the transfer, and Qian Xunji's strength had leaped forward once more.
He checked the system interface.
[Family Prosperity System] [Host: Qian Xunji] [Divine Beast: Fire Dragon King] [Divine Authority: Fire (God King level)] [Bloodline: Fire Dragon King (primary), Six-Winged Angel (hidden)] [Body: 150 (God King divine body)] [Soul: 118 (Second-Level divine soul)] [Soul Power: 112 (Second-Level divine power)] [Divine Skills: Fire Control (innate), Breath (innate), Annihilation (innate)...] [Arrays: Fortification Array, Soul-Sealing Array] [Cultivation Methods: ① Ancient Phoenix Method ② Soul Transference Method (Special) ③ Life Transference (Special) ④ Yin-Yang Healing (Special)] [Enhancement: Ancient Phoenix Seal] [Storage: None] [Relatives/Aptitude: 1 Qian Renxue (Gold) 2 Qian Renshuang (Red) 3 Qian Renxia (Red) 4 Qian Renwei (Red) 5 Qian Renting (Black) 6 Qian Renwu (Red) 7 Qian Renhui (Red) 8 Qian Renchuan (Red) 9 Qian Renhao (Red)...Expand for details] [Bloodline Continuation Reward] [Overall Evaluation: Your strength is already no weaker than the Sea God's. Perhaps you can start making plans for Sea God Island.]
Make plans for Sea God Island?
Qian Xunji shook his head without thinking.
Now wasn't the right time to make plans for Sea God Island. The Asura God stood behind the Sea God, after all. If Asura spotted anything amiss, Qian Xunji's good days in the Douluo Continent would be over.
He'd wait until both his divine power and soul reached the God King Realm before starting to plan for Sea God Island.
By then, even if Asura God saw through him, he wouldn't have to be afraid.
Besides, the Spirit Hall was secretly developing Soul Tools. When the God-Slaying Soul Tool finally appeared, it would surely leave the gods of the Divine Realm dumbfounded.
Although he had no plans to make a move on Sea God Island, Qian Xunji could plot against other places.
His harem really did need more members. The two emperors of ice and snow in the Far North would make excellent additions.
The white-haired Snow Empress in particular, with her icy aura and refined temperament, was like a celestial maiden untouched by the mortal world.
What kind of wonderful expression would Snow Empress make when he held her down?
Would she still be untouched by the world of mortals?
Or would the celestial maiden fall into the mortal world?
The thought truly filled Qian Xunji with anticipation!
For now, though, he still needed to lay down some rules for Qian Renhaotian: there were things he absolutely couldn't say, and things he absolutely couldn't do, lest he stir up trouble.
Qian Xunji spent a full ten minutes laying down rules for Qian Renhaotian.
Qian Renhaotian said impatiently, "All right, all right, Qian Xunji, I get it. Do you really think I'm a newborn baby?"
"Even so, I was once the Fire Dragon King. How could I not know these things?"
Qian Xunji gave him one last warning. "And don't you dare break any of the rules I've mentioned, or I'll kill you without hesitation."
"Even if my blood runs through your body."
"All right, all right. I get it."
Qian Xunji carried Qian Renhaotian back to Ah Yin. He didn't hand Qian Renhaotian over to Ah Yin, Xue Ying, or Leng Lingyuan.
