Chapter 432: Wei Lang Is Also a Lang

Elder Xian Shu shyly smiled: "Within the sect I actually enjoy forging artifacts the most; pill‑making is a sect assignment, done reluctantly. These few puppets know a lot of subtle artifact‑crafting knowledge, and I intend to study it. Lord Wei, could you help me?"

Wei Yuning's expression shifted slightly, he thought, then nodded: "Sure, but remember to give me a copy of the results!" Intelligent beings belong to a top branch of technological civilization, yet their technological direction differs greatly from Earth's; he truly looked forward to Xian Shu, the sect head, producing something.

"I need all kinds of metals, spirit‑stone furnaces and a large amount of ordinary spirit stones. Actually, the Qian Yuan Sect has plenty of these, but Lord Shen Gui doesn't listen to me much!" Xian Shu said.

"Sure, I'll speak to Lord Shen Gui right now!" Wei Yuning replied immediately.

He had thought Xian Shu wanted him to supply materials.

As the acting head of the Qian Yuan Sect, Xian Shu rarely communicates with the sect; the reason is simple: the Qian Yuan Sect and the Divine Martial Gate of Black Dragon City—now the Dragon Martial Gate—are neighboring, and the White Shadow Tribe leader Qing He of the Dead Silence Land also maintains close contact with both sides, so the Qian Yuan Sect remains unusually secure, with no major incidents.

He wouldn't give face to others, but he did give Wei Yuning face. After a while, Lord Shen Gui responded, saying he could inquire with the Qian Yuan Sect.

With Xian Shu, the sect head's gratitude, Wei Yuning left the Life Space Ring.

The moment he appeared, he immediately sensed the surrounding oddity: the light‑energy that can only be felt during the day was everywhere, yet at a glance the surroundings were dense darkness, visibility no more than one zhang.

"The power of the Black Realm!" Wei Yuning couldn't help blurting out. Though he had never seen the Black Realm, he had heard from many that, while it is dark, its energy nature is surprisingly identical to the light energy of the White Realm.

"Yu Lang!" As the voice rang, the figure of Feng He, the immortal maiden, also appeared.

"I truly am not Yu Long Shan; brothers Xun An, Han Li and Wu Hao can vouch for me!" Wei Yuning said anxiously; he only knew Feng He, the immortal maiden, was a light‑root cultivator, and hadn't expected her to manipulate the light system's dark energy—truly befitting a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"So, you killed Yu Lang?" Feng He's beautiful eyes narrowed, she said coldly.

Wei Yuning, frightened, gestured and said, "It can't be put that way; Yu Long Shan and I share one body, and his divine consciousness is still present, so it's not that he died!"

Hearing this, Feng He's expression shifted unpredictably, and she fell silent again.

The silence lingered a bit, so Wei Yuning had to speak: "Great Immortal, that day I didn't mean it…" He intended to explain, but found any explanation problematic, so he shut his mouth again.

"Do you know why I came to find you?" Seeing Wei Yuning at a loss, Feng He suddenly asked.

"To see an old friend?" Wei Yuning asked, his heart trembling.

Feng He's demeanor now was very different from her earlier agitation; she observed his eyes, his nose, his heart, a calm face, yet beneath the calm a storm was brewing.

"In the core of the spirit‑beast world, were you then the same as you are now?" Feng He continued calmly.

"Huh?" Wei Yuning was startled, then instantly understood, "Yes, yes, at that time it was me; Yu Dao's divine consciousness hadn't stirred yet!"

"Why didn't you refuse…" Feng He began, then stopped, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face.

Wei Yuning was wiser this time; he lowered his head and said, "A fairy as beautiful as you, no one would refuse!"

"Alas, speaking of it, it's not your fault! That day you didn't admit you were Yu Lang; I was just being one‑sided!" Feng He said softly.

As Feng He's expression grew increasingly strange, Wei Yuning's unease grew stronger.

"Do you know why I came to find you?" Feng He asked the question again.

Wei Yuning didn't know how to answer, thinking, "Since it's not to see Yu Long Shan, could it be to see me?"

"I don't know!" He decided to be honest, "But if you first look at an old friend, I can help you!" Saying that, he instantly transformed into Yu Long Shan's form.

"Yu Dao's divine consciousness is not usually under my control, but as soon as a transformation occurs, he obeys my command immediately!" Wei Yuning, now restored to Yu Long Shan's appearance, said.

This time Feng He's expression was subtle; she gently stroked Yu Long Shan's face, then turned her head and said, "Lord Wei, you should change back!"

"Alright!" Wei Yuning executed the order with unusual decisiveness.

Feng He looked at Wei Yuning, now back to his original appearance; her gaze shifted from bewilderment to tenderness, a smile curving her lips, and she said, "Although you're still very young, you're already a child's father. Wei… Lang, from now on you are my Dao companion!"

"What?" Wei Yuning's mouth opened wide enough to fit two eggs.

"I am the body of a Great Luo Golden Immortal; normally it is extremely hard to conceive again. Who could have imagined that after a night with you, I would become pregnant? Whether you are Yu Lang or Wei Lang, in my eyes you are benefactors, granting me an offspring and truly mending the regret of my youth!" Feng He said calmly, ignoring Wei Yuning's astonishment.

Wei Yuning wanted to say something, but found nothing to say; if the other weren't a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would have said, "No thanks needed, this is what I should do!"

Feng He continued, "My Dao name is Feng He, worldly name Qin Feng He. I have a request—does Lord Wei agree?"

"Sure, no problem, as long as I can do it!" Wei Yuning hurriedly replied.

"I want the first child to bear the surname Qin. My father has always wanted a grandson, but in my youth I only wanted to cultivate; when my cultivation matured I missed the chance to bear children, and because of this he never forgave me…"

"No problem, whether it's the first, second or third child, they can all bear the surname Qin!" Wei Yuning said while appraising the dignified Feng He from head to toe.

Feng He was stunned; she looked at Wei Yuning, finally noticing his gaze, then realized the meaning of his words, her face flushing, she couldn't help spit out a breath, yet she said joyfully, "I didn't expect you to be like this! But that's what you said—if you want a fourth child, it can bear the surname Wei; rest assured, they'll all be our children, I'll treat them equally, father likewise!"

"Sure, sure, I have no problem!" Wei Yuning nodded repeatedly, "Dao friend Feng He, do you know where the first child is? I'll find time to take a look!"

"He was just born recently; his father is placing him in the Immortal Spark Pool to cultivate his roots and bones. If the father learns his surname was changed to Qin, he'll probably put him straight into the Treasure Gourd!" Feng He laughed.
