?1177 Xi Shengmo's Worries
Xi Mingze had to take a moment to process the fact that Lan Yingying had been impregnated by a human, something she didn't think would be possible.
"This human… is he…?" Xi Mingze swallowed nervously as a certain individual appeared in her mind.
"Yes, it's Yuan. It happened recently, so it will be about a thousand years before I give birth."
"I-I figured it would be him…" Xi Mingze felt her legs turn weak after confirming her suspicions.
"I understand your feelings very well, but if it's the Young Master, he's more than worthy." Feng Yuxiang chuckled after seeing Xi Mingze's reaction that was similar to hers when she first learned about Lan Yingying's impregnation.
Lan Yingying nodded, silently agreeing with Feng Yuxiang.
"Anyways, the Young Master is not only kind, caring, and passionate, but he's also extremely talented. Although I don't know how he'll react if Xi Meili asks to be his partner, I do know that he'll gladly let her follow him." ReadNovelFull.com
"Hell, if you knew the Young Master's true identity, you would actually be begging him to allow Xi Meili to follow him." Feng Yuxiang said with a profound smile on her face.
This made Xi Mingze raise her eyebrows. What Feng Yuxiang said could be considered rude to her, especially considering her family's status.
Not only are the Xi Family Divine Dragons, they also come from a Royal Bloodline. In the outside world, they would have the highest authorities amongst dragons. With such exalted status, what sense would it make for them to beg to follow someone— a mere human, at that.
Seeing Xi Mingze's puzzled expression, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but smile. Unfortunately, she couldn't reveal Yuan's secret to her, as she didn't trust her enough, nor does she have the right to do so.
"Well, you will learn of the truth sooner or later— if Xi Meili is fated to follow him." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.
Eventually, they started walking again.
Once they reached their rooms, Xi Mingze said to them, "You can use any of the rooms here. If you need anything, you can speak with our servants. They will be posted at the entrance at all times."
"Thank you." Lan Yingying said.
Sometime later, Xi Mingze returned to Xi Shengmo's side.
"That took longer than I anticipated. What did you guys talk about?" He asked her in a nonchalant voice.
Xi Mingze sighed, "I just wanted to learn more about Yuan, but I learned more than I probably should have."
"What does that mean?" Xi Shengmo looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"I thought they were simply traveling companions, but those two Divine Beasts are actually his servants…"
"What?! Divine Beasts serving as servants?! But one of them is a phoenix! They are prideful beings that rival dragons in terms of their dignity! They would never serve someone, much less a human!"
Xi Mingze shook her head and said, "That's nothing compared to what I learned next. That Divine Serpent, Lan Yingying, she's actually pregnant… with Yuan's child."
"She's what?!?!" Xi Shengmo stood up with his mouth and eyes wide open.
"You heard me. It happened recently, too."
"..." Xi Shengmo sat down without controlling his weight, causing the chair to tremble.
"After learning this information, do you still support our daughter marrying him?" He asked her in a low voice.
"..."
Xi Mingze closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Regardless of my— our feelings, it will be our daughter who ultimately decides what she wants to do. If she's okay with the whole situation, there's nothing else I can say."
Xi Shengmo sneered, "Now that's a load of bullshit. Even if he's related to the Ancestor, I simply cannot hand over our daughter to someone who is already in that kind of relationship with another Divine Beast— or Divine Beasts."
Xi Mingze frowned and said, "In that case, why did you set her up with the Azure Dragon Family? You know very well that their Patriarch has multiple wives and that their son will very likely do the same."
"Y-You don't know that…"
"The hell I don't! I know very well that the man you've arranged for Xi Meili already has multiple fiancees! You're just so desperate that you don't care who she spends her future with as long as she doesn't leave this world!" Xi Mingze shouted at him, revealing to him that she knows very well why he did not want Xi Meili to follow Yuan.
Indeed, if Xi Meili chooses to follow Yuan, she will have to leave their side and this world to go to the outside world, where humans are abundant.
"If anything happens to her outside, we won't be able to protect her… There's a reason our ancestors decided to live away from humans in this secluded world. While Yuan may not be a bad person, I'm certain that there are countless humans out there who are filled with evil."
"It's not like the world here is all sunshine and rainbows, either…" Xi Mingze sighed.
"I am well aware of that, but at the very least, we can protect her from here, something we cannot do if she leaves our side."
"When that happens, it will no longer be our job to protect her. It'll be whomever she decides to follow."
Xi Shengmo stared at her with a serious expression and asked, "Do you really think he has the power to protect her?"
Xi Mingze smiled and said, "Did you not notice his cultivation?"
"What about his cultivation?" Xi Shengmo asked.
"He's already a peak Spirit King. The last time we saw him, he was only a Spirit Grandmaster, and that was a year ago."
"That's nothing special at all. There are plenty of people who can breakthrough at that speed."
"That may be true for the people in the upper heavens, but he started in the Lower Heaven. In fact, we already saw the extent of his potential through the Dragon Awakening Ritual. He lit up all nine pillars! That's something even our ancestors couldn't do."
When Xi Mingze reminded him of such an event, it caused him to go silent, as he couldn't act like that never happened.
