"A god's inheritance!?"
Several incredulous voices rang out. The newly enthroned Ning Fengzhi's hand trembled, and the teacup he had been holding so steadily crashed to the floor with a clang, scattering shards and tea everywhere. He paid them no mind, however, and simply gaped in a daze.
"Taibai, you mean... you received a god's inheritance!?"
"Yes, Father-in-law." Li Bai sat with one foot propped on the armrest of his chair, lazily swirling his wine gourd in one hand as he spoke, slightly tipsy.
Ning Rongrong sat beside Li Bai, her chin resting on his shoulder and happiness written all over her face. "Hehe, Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, little brother Sasuke, I actually knew ages ago that Taibai could become a god!"
"Sasuke, once I become a god, I can help you get your revenge too," Li Bai said with a smile.
"...Stay out of my business." As though something had struck a nerve, Sasuke stood up and walked out of the hall, unwilling to hear any more.
"Ah, that's just how Sasuke is." Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a chuckle. His imperial countenance now beamed with delight. Though he tried to keep his voice composed, he could not conceal his excitement. "Taibai, whatever help you need to become a god, just tell me. There is nothing I won't grant you. Even if I must exhaust the Nine Treasures Empire's resources, I will help you ascend to godhood!"
"Thank you, Father-in-law."
"...Hahahahaha!" Sword Douluo remained dazed for quite some time before bursting into laughter, a rare, unmistakable display of emotion.
"Father, can you see this? I haven't disgraced the Seven Kill Sword. I raised a god!" Sword Douluo could not help murmuring to himself. Then he looked at Bone Douluo, the corner of his mouth curling upward.
