Hu Chenli let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He deeply understood the feelings of his family members. The Nine-Colored Bloodline sounded impressive, but to him, it was just a ticking time bomb. Right now, all he wanted was to be an ordinary baby—eating when he was hungry and sleeping when he was tired. Everything else could wait until he grew up.
As the nine-colored light beam vanished, discussions erupted across the capital.
"Did you see that? The light beam seemed to dim!" A sharp-featured man whispered to his companions at a teahouse.
"Isn't that right? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! I was convinced that the Shen Family's Dragon and Phoenix Twins were some chosen ones, but it seems we were mistaken!" Another person took a sip of tea, his tone dripping with disdain.
"Who says otherwise? I was waiting to see that nine-colored beam break through the sky and attract some holy being! And this is what we get?" A burly man slammed his hand on the table, disappointment evident in his voice.
Similar conversations played out in every corner of the capital.
In the Wuding Marquisate, within the study, Chen Yuantu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the darkening sky outside, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes.
"Have you confirmed? That bloodline pillar wasn’t caused by Shen Wanzhou’s two wretched offspring?" he asked in a low voice, a trace of unrecognized relief in his tone. He had personally discarded Shen Wanzhou and abandoned her unborn child. Later, rumors spread throughout the capital claiming that she was carrying rare twins. Now, with the Nine-Colored Blood Pillar soaring into the sky, even someone in the palace had been alarmed. How could he not be anxious?
If it truly was a once-in-a-millennium Saint physique, he feared that as the newly appointed Wuding Marquis, he would face even more ridicule.
"Returning to the Marquis, my subordinate has confirmed that the bloodline pillar belongs solely to them." The kneeling Shadow Guard spoke respectfully, without a hint of fluctuation in his tone.
"Only them? That’s good!" Chen Yuantu breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he did not dismiss his subordinate; instead, he suddenly turned around, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He secretly issued orders to continue blocking all resources from the Shen Family. "No shop is allowed to trade with them without my permission! I want them to have no resources for cultivation!"
Even if it was just their bloodline pillar, it still represented noble blood; if those children from the Shen Family grew up, they would undoubtedly become a threat! Rather than risk that, it would be better to reduce them to mere ants!
"Understood!" The Shadow Guard accepted the command and departed.
Chen Yuantu watched as the Shadow Guard disappeared from view, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his eyes.
"Shen Wanzhou, do you think that by giving birth to a pair of children with a Nine-Colored Bloodline, you can change your fate? Such wishful thinking!"
In the backyard of the Shen Family, Shen Wanzhou gazed lovingly at the two sleeping children in their cradle. Thankfully, their bloodline had been sealed. She gently stroked Chen Li's chubby little face, filled with relief. The Nine-Colored Bloodline was too extraordinary; if outsiders were to discover it, these two children would likely never find peace.
"What are you thinking about, Shen Wanzhou?" Shen Zhentian entered, holding a bowl of first-grade Snow Wolf Beast Meat, his expression full of affection as he looked at her.
"Nothing much, just worried about these two little ones and their future," Shen Wanzhou replied, her tone tinged with concern.
"Don't worry. With me around, no one can harm them." Shen Zhentian gently patted Shen Wanzhou's shoulder, his voice firm.
Shen Wanzhou nodded but remained silent; the worry in her eyes lingered. She understood that although the Shen Family had a long-standing heritage, it was all an illusion in the face of absolute power. Moreover, her father had been injured for her sake and still hadn't fully recovered. How could she allow herself to burden her family further?
Thinking of this while looking at the enticing Snow Wolf Beast Meat radiating faint Spiritual Energy made her feel particularly guilty. "Father, it's your daughter who has caused you trouble!"
"You silly girl, what do you mean by causing trouble?" Shen Zhentian chuckled heartily and handed the Snow Wolf Beast Meat to Shen Wanzhou. "As long as we raise these two little ones well, that's all that matters! Here, eat some Demon Beast Meat to restore your strength; then I can be at ease."
Shen Wanzhou took the bowl and looked at the fragrant Snow Wolf Meat inside, her eyes reddening again. How could she not understand her father's intentions? This Snow Wolf Beast Meat was clearly freshly hunted; it still bore traces of the fierce beast's aura.
Her father had risked venturing into the Demon Beast Mountain Range again while still recovering from his injuries for her and the children. "Father..." Shen Wanzhou choked up but didn't know what else to say.
Seeing his daughter's expression, Shen Zhentian felt a pang in his heart as well. He never wished for his daughter to suffer alongside him.
However, when he insisted on keeping his daughter in the Shen Family despite the opposition, many in the family had their reservations. Now that his daughter had given birth to a child with the rare Nine-Colored Bloodline, these individuals undoubtedly viewed it as a crime of possessing a precious treasure, which would only bring the Shen Family into the spotlight.
"Don't worry, I won't let them have the chance to harm you and the child." Shen Zhentian patted Shen Wanzhou's shoulder, his tone resolute.
In the cradle, Chen Li watched this scene unfold, feeling a mix of emotions. He clearly saw that beneath Shen Zhentian's sleeve, there was a deep wound that was still healing, revealing bone. The shape of the injury was unmistakably caused by some kind of claw!
Shen Zhentian's breath was even more unstable than before; it was evident he was suppressing his injuries to avoid revealing any weakness in front of Shen Wanzhou.
Chen Li felt deeply moved. He could see and remember how much Shen Zhentian cared for them. "Grandfather, I will definitely repay this kindness!" Chen Li silently clenched his tiny fist.
As a newborn, he couldn't cultivate much. Although the Shen Family had been a prestigious lineage for years, they had long since fallen into decline. Even the Wuding Marquisate could suppress them, making it difficult to maintain daily cultivation resources.
It was no wonder that Grandfather risked everything to personally venture into the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt beasts.
If this continues, I must think of a way to earn more Silver Coins quickly to buy supplies; otherwise, I might not survive long enough to grow up!
Chen Li felt a sense of urgency rising within him. His little mind began racing.
Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind! That's right! I can have my mother refine!
With an extraordinary sense of comprehension, he could grasp any formula with ease! In this world, being a Refiner was also an extremely rare profession with high status!
But I'm still too young to refine directly; what should I do?
Chen Li never expected that just after being born, he would already need to think of ways to make money.
