Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1408: Nangong Xingyun Has a Son

Su Yuanyuan really hasn’t seen what her daughter was talking about, thinking she’d wait for a chance to check it out.

”Alright, stop thinking about those useless things. You should try using Spiritual Power to transform a sword, I think it’s very effective for Spirit Control.”

Qi Wen nodded, ”I think it looks pretty cool too; I’ll go and give it a try.”

Su Yuanyuan put down her book with a smile and went out together.

The mother and daughter were in the training field, where Su Yuanyuan explained briefly to her daughter, and Qi Wen tried twice and soon managed the sword transformation with Spiritual Power.

”This sword needs to be just like a real sword.”

Qi Wen understood what her mother meant, so she kept condensing it.

Every day, the mother and daughter practiced cultivation and even entered the Trial Tower to test.

Far away in Ning’an City, Nangong Xingyun was waiting for the birth of his first child.

Li Mengzhi had been in the delivery room for an hour, with several midwives and two female cultivators inside.

He waited anxiously outside, hoping his child could be born smoothly.

Ever since coming to Ning’an City, being together with Li Mengzhi, he felt that Tan Shaoting was right; though she was an ordinary-looking young woman, daily interaction made him feel a sense of tenderness towards her.

”Mengzhi, I’m waiting outside for you and our child.”

Right now, Li Mengzhi was exhausted, mainly because she didn’t know how to exert force.

The midwives were anxious; this gentleman had said that if the child was born smoothly, each would be given five hundred Spirit Stones.

Five hundred Spirit Stones, they had never seen so many.

After Li Mengzhi drank the Spiritual Spring Water, she was told how to exert force.

While she was pregnant, she didn’t lose her cultivation; Nangong Xingyun always provided her with Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

She clearly understood what this child meant to her, so she was very obedient.

Just as Nangong Xingyun was pacing, he heard a sharp scream, followed by the sound of a crying baby.

His face was full of ecstatic smiles; whether it was a boy or a girl, he now had a child.

His Divine Sense entered, seeing a baby boy. He was even happier now.

He knew his status would be more stable, and he needed to inform his grandfather of this good news.

Soon, the baby was brought out. Nangong Xingyun’s Divine Sense was always locked onto this child.

”Congratulations, City Lord, felicitations to the City Lord on having a big son.”

Nangong Xingyun nodded with a smile, ”Rewards for everyone.”

Inside, the two female cultivators were also attending to Li Mengzhi.

These two female cultivators were nurtured by Nangong Xingyun, intended to serve them and their child in the future.

After sending the message to his grandfather, Nangong Changliu, Nangong Xingyun stayed here comfortably, focusing on cultivation.

Li Mengzhi was taken care of very well, and the child was also well-fed by her.

On the child’s full moon, Nangong Changliu came over.

He looked at the great-grandson in his arms; this child must have a Spirit Root, it’s just unknown how good or bad it is, and it wouldn’t be accurate to check while the child is this young.

”Xingyun, you should raise this child well; he has a Spirit Root, whether good or bad, it’s hard to say now. We’ll have to wait until he’s five to test.”

”Yes, Grandfather, rest assured. I certainly will.”

”Hmm, these are the medicinal materials prepared for nourishing the Spirit Root of the child, with instructions on usage. You used them when you were young as well.”

”Yes, I understand.”

Nangong Changliu gave much good stuff to his grandson again, as a reward.

In the City Lord Mansion, Nangong Xingyun’s women also heard the news, but it was only before dispersal; after the steward gave them severance pay, they left the City Lord Mansion with their things.

”Shaoyao, you are the Lord’s favorite; are you just going to accept it?”

”What can I do if I don’t accept? I can’t give birth to a child.”

”No, let’s go find the Lord. How can he be so heartless?”

Shaoyao shook her head, ”You go ahead. I’m not going.” She knew how heartless Nangong Xingyun was, appearing kind to them, but she knew he didn’t care about them.

Since Spirit Stones have already been given, and plenty of things usually, it’s better to find a place to cultivate. Trying to cause a scene would just lead to nowhere, and might even cost her life.

Two sensible people like Shaoyao also left, while the remaining five discussed going to Ning’an City.

Tan Shaoting at Xuantian Sect also received the news.

He bothered Su Yuanyuan for a long time at night.

”Are you crazy?”

”I never thought my nonsense would be heard by Nangong Xingyun, and he would actually have a child.”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t want to pay him any attention, ”Go to the Trial Tower tomorrow; there’s only a month left until the selection tournament.”

Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile, ”Alright, I’ll go tomorrow.”

With his wife and child being so competitive, how could he fall behind?

The three of them really didn’t concern themselves with external matters and didn’t even know about the significant events happening in the sect.

After they came out of the Trial Tower, it was only two days until the selection tournament.

The three of them listened to a servant speak about recent events, exchanging glances.

When it was just the family, they said, ”Xiao Ho must have ruined it, right? Not even mentioning Master Liu Huo, she would be caught by the sect, wouldn’t she?”

The couple nodded at their daughter’s words.

”Dad, Mom, I think someone must have bewitched her.”

Su Yuanyuan thought so too. That girl must have some ideas; she was a very opinionated person.

”Enough, don’t speak about her. Whatever the case, it was her own choice.”

The mother and daughter didn’t say anything else, and no one cultivated that night; the trio all rested. The Trial Tower was indeed too exhausting, physically and mentally.

Tan Shaoting was also satisfied. Sometimes he felt if not for their mother and child, he would likely be doomed.

On the day of the selection tournament, the family of three went to their respective arenas.

The first round was a preliminary, with a special arrangement for the Qi Refinement Realm, divided into two groups based on registration order directly; no matter what method, as long as you stay on the stage, that’s enough.

Miao Xiaotong and her four companions were in a group with Qi Wen.

”Qi Wen, what to do in a while?”

”Didn’t they say so? No matter what method, as long as we stay on the stage.”

The four looked at her uncertainly. As the competition began, with two groups of three thousand people each; after five days of such contests, each group was left with a hundred people, with a thousand remaining for a final eligibility to qualify.

Qi Wen calmly set an array plate of the Second Rank around herself, sitting inside, propped her chin, watching Yin Nangong, Tan Shaoting, Su Yuanyuan outside.

The cultivators below the stage were stunned by her actions. Could it be done like this?

The referee above watched the little female cultivator and noticed several others adopting the same approach, all speechless. Are the kids these days so cunning? The rules for the preliminary would have to change the next day.
