Discovering the Son of Destiny's Family

Qing Mo came out of the room, with Liu Yurou following behind him, her face flushed crimson.

"May I ask why you called this humble girl here, Young Master?"

"There are two things in your Autumn Moon Palace that I need, which is why I summoned you, the palace master!"

Autumn Moon's heart shook violently. Her damaged divine artifact could not influence the thoughts of the person before her, and he had actually exposed her true identity in a single sentence.

"You don't need to let your imagination run wild. That damaged divine artifact on you can indeed influence many people's thoughts. Even in your original world, it would be a rare treasure, but it's useless against this young master. This young master wants the Yin Soul Grass and Origin Spirit Flower in your Autumn Moon Palace!"

Autumn Moon felt as if she had been stripped naked, with no secrets at all before this man.

"Young Master, my Autumn Moon Palace does indeed have the two things you mentioned. With a heaven-piercing cultivation like yours, I imagine you wouldn't lower yourself to snatching them by force, would you?"

Autumn Moon knew there was no fooling the person before her, so she wanted to test whether she could exchange them for some benefits.

"You've got some skill with that mouth of yours! This young master did indeed have that idea before. Since you've put it that way, what do you want?"

"I wonder, could I ask Young Master to help this humble girl remove the deadly poison in her body?"

"Sure."

Qing Mo swept his divine sense over her, and the deadly poison inside Autumn Moon's body was instantly annihilated.

"Thank you, Young Master, for cleansing the deadly poison from my body!"

"Just send over the things this young master needs."

"Of course. I'll return to Autumn Moon Palace at once to retrieve them and deliver them to you, Young Master."

Qing Mo and Liu Yurou set off for the Western Sea, telling Autumn Moon to come find them there once she had prepared the items.

"Master, the Western Sea really is much richer than the Southern Border!"

"It's all right."

After a month, Qing Mo and the others finally arrived at the Western Sea at a leisurely pace. They had practically played their way over the entire journey.

The Western Sea was dotted with countless islands, and some families and sects had established themselves upon them.

"This is actually a good place for a vacation. Let's have some fun for a while before going to Duan Nian Palace."

"All right, Master."

Qing Mo wore a floral shirt, beach shorts, and sunglasses as he enjoyed a sunbath on the beach. As the sea breeze brushed past, the six-pack abs beneath his shirt could be faintly seen. Beside him, Liu Yurou looked even more alluring in a black bikini. The two of them were dressed in modern clothing, while Da Bai lay sprawled across Qing Mo's belly, tongue lolling as he slept soundly, even snoring from time to time!

"Hey, who are you people? Who let you come here?"

A discordant voice rang out, waking Qing Mo and the others from their midday rest. Qing Mo took off his sunglasses and looked sideways at the person who had woken him.

"Young Master, look!"

"I want this woman! Boy, who allowed you to come to my Sun Family's forbidden mining area?"

"Host, this young master of the Sun Family is a little interesting! He actually has some connection to a son of fortune!"

Qing Mo looked at the people before him, especially the Sun Family's young master. It seemed the son of fortune of this era was in the Sun Family.

"That's right! Looks like the son of fortune is in the Sun Family. I wonder if slaughtering him would affect the son of fortune's growth?"

Qing Mo discovered that the Sun Family's young master carried a faint trace of fortune on him. Generally, if someone was not a person of high rank and authority who held a lofty position, then having fortune meant they were connected to a son of fortune—either a stepping stone or a little brother. Judging from his appearance, he was definitely a stepping stone.

The Sun Family's young master kept sweeping his gaze over Liu Yurou's body, without the slightest attempt to hide it.

The Sun Family's young master sensed not the slightest trace of spiritual energy from the two people and one cat, and directly ordered his subordinates to kill Qing Mo and bring Liu Yurou back to the Sun Family.

"You've disturbed this young master's midday rest. Have you thought about how you want to die?"

Before Qing Mo had even finished speaking, he reached into the void and dragged out the guard secretly protecting the Sun Family's young master. One hand clamped around the man's throat, while everyone else was crushed to the ground by the spiritual pressure emanating from Da Bai.

"How's this girl's figure? The last person who dared look at me like that was flayed alive, and his family was wiped out too! Other than my master, no one is worthy of looking at me with those eyes!"

"Da Bai, dig out this Sun Family young master's eyeballs and break his four limbs—no, five limbs. As for the others, they can be your snack. Once you're done, we'll go to the Sun Family."

"You got it, don't worry! Master, no one's getting away."

"How dare you! Do you know that he is the Sun Family ancestor's favorite junior? My Sun Family has a late-stage Dao Integration expert, you—"

Qing Mo directly twisted the guard's neck, crushing even his divine soul, then tossed the corpse to the ground.

"Even the Heavenly Dao of this world behaves obediently before this young master. What the hell does your Sun Family count for?"

When the Sun Family's young master heard him say that, he was so frightened he pissed himself. His body trembled nonstop, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Suddenly, a wave of intense pain struck him, and he screamed with all his might—his eyes had been directly gouged out by Da Bai.

"You pissed yourself that fast? Your Sun Family isn't much after all! And to think you're your ancestor's favorite junior. You're a total piece of trash."

"Don't worry, I won't let you die that quickly. We'll be going to the Sun Family in a moment to see whether that ancestor of yours really cares about you, his junior."

Qing Mo rose from the lounge chair and put on the flip-flops he had bought from the system. Liu Yurou changed into a green qipao and sat on Da Bai's back after he returned to his true form, while Da Bai's claw still held the half-dead Sun Family young master.

Sun Mansion

The Sun Family's patriarch and the Sun Family's higher-ups had gathered in the main hall, with the Sun Family ancestor seated upright in the main seat.

"Ancestor, I found out that the mighty expert who handed those pills to the Luotian Dynasty for auction will be going to Duan Nian Palace soon. I plan to have our Sun Family become a vassal of Duan Nian Palace."

"Mm, you can give it a try. After all, Duan Nian Palace can be considered a giant force in the Western Sea. Go personally to the family treasury and choose some heavy treasures, then visit Duan Nian Palace and take the opportunity to express our Sun Family's intentions to them."

Just as the Sun Family patriarch finished telling his own ancestor his thoughts, he turned his head and looked around, but did not find any sign of his son.

"That little bastard. I told him to go see how the spirit-stone mine's excavation was coming along, didn't I? Why hasn't he come back after so long? He must have taken a fancy to some family's girl again."

The Sun Family Head's face suddenly darkened.

"Big Brother, it's not as if you don't know Little Ran has always been like this. But Little Ran's talent is the best among this younger generation. He's reached mid-stage Spirit Refining at such a young age, and we even arranged for a half-step Dao Integration expert to protect him in secret. Nothing will happen to him."

"I'm hating iron for not becoming steel! That little bastard will die in a woman's hands sooner or later. If not for our Sun Family's great household and vast business, and a mid-stage Dao Integration ancestor holding down the fort, who knows what kind of trouble that boy might bring home."

"Don't worry, Big Brother. Little Ran is just young and fond of playing around. Once he gets a little older and his temperament matures, he'll focus on cultivation!"

The Sun Family's Second Elder had gone his whole life without sons or daughters, and had always treated Sun Ran as his own son. Sun Ran was also very filial to him, and everyone in the Sun Family saw it.

Seeing the Second Elder keep speaking well of his son and advising him, the Sun Family Head also knew his son was talented. But when the boy acted like this at every turn, he could not help wanting to curse him a few times.

"Second Brother, you just spoil him too much."

"I'm his second uncle, and that boy is filial to me too. Isn't it only right that I spoil him? Hahaha!"

Just as the Sun Family members were discussing what treasure to send to Duan Nian Palace, a figure smashed straight down from the sky into the Sun Family's main hall.

Everyone focused their eyes and saw that it was actually the gravely injured Sun Ran.
