Chapter 163

After Shu Yan's emergency rescue, he finally successfully dispelled Ruan Qinyu's pity for this Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

Compared to this flower of true love, Ruan Qinyu actually hoped more that she could live smoothly. Whether she could cultivate or even restore her cultivation was not important. What she wanted most now was to be able to stay by Shu Yan's side and give Shu Yan the maternal love she had owed him for more than ten years.

From Su Yun, she learned that Shu Yan now had a girlfriend with an extraordinary status. What she longed for had always been a family reunion. Being able to see her son return to her side, her desire to live was constantly increasing.

People are selfish. Between life and love, it is very easy to make a choice.

This night, Shu Yan stayed by the bed all the time. Ruan Qinyu held his hand and refused to let go. Shu Yan also had no intention of leaving. With him by her side, Ruan Qinyu's tightly locked brows also relaxed a lot, as if the whole person was relaxed.

The night passed quietly. As the first ray of morning glow shone on the earth, Shu Yan opened his eyes suddenly. He gently pulled out his somewhat numb arm and hand, and then walked out of the bedroom where Ruan Qinyu was.

In the courtyard in front of the door, Su Mingxuan stood in front of the wooden fence with his hands behind his back. From here, he could overlook the entire valley. Smoke was already rising from many of the layered buildings below. The children who got up early were gathering together, being guided by their elders to practice in the first ray of morning sun. If it weren't for the fact that Shu Yan's spiritual power could perceive how strong those seemingly ordinary villagers were, I'm afraid he would really have mistaken this place for an ordinary village.

"How is your mother?"

Su Mingxuan seemed to have not slept all night. His long black hair and robe were slightly damp, but there was no trace of fatigue in his expression. He stood here all night and didn't go to disturb the mother and son talking and narrating.

"Much better than before. When she wakes up later, we will prepare to welcome a new life for her..."

Shu Yan said softly. Not far away, Xu Jiujiu and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, were also flying toward this side. They were all arranged to stay in vacant houses last night and didn't wait outside. This was also Shu Yan's arrangement.

Su Mingxuan's expression was very complicated. Last night, he chatted with Xu Jiujiu and the others. From their mouths, he learned about Shu Yan's experience from childhood to adulthood, and also clearly recognized what kind of terrifying achievements his son, who had been left outside, had achieved in more than ten years.

A fifteen-year-old Soul Sage, a terrifying martial soul and soul ring ratio, and now even chosen by a god—these things were like a dream. But most of the time, he was still happy for Shu Yan. His son didn't lose the brilliance he possessed because he was left outside, but instead became more dazzling and flickering, making the brilliance of all geniuses of this era easily crushed by him, and even reached a level where no one could compete with him.

Shu Yan overlooked the entire village and was silent for a moment before he said softly again:

"The continent will fall into chaos in the future. What does the family plan to do?"

Su Mingxuan was stunned, then he patted Shu Yan's shoulder with a smile and said very seriously: "You don't need to worry about these trifles now. Yesterday, the Princess told us about your situation. Those old guys in the clan were shocked after hearing your current age and achievements, especially after hearing that you were recognized by the ancestor. Now they are all excited and bloody as if they were decades younger. Several elders who were slightly dissatisfied with our arrangements have also recognized you. In a few days, I will take you to the ancestral hall to formally take you back to your ancestors. If you want, the family can move to Star Luo City with you."

Shu Yan didn't give Su Mingxuan an accurate answer immediately. When he first came here, he had basically figured out how many strong people were here.

In his perception, the number of Titled Douluo in the entire village was no less than eight, and there were three powerhouses at the Super Douluo level. It's just that these three seemed to have fallen into deep meditation, so there were no powerhouses at the Super Douluo level among the powerhouses who came out to greet him that day.

What a terrifying background. Coupled with Su Mingxuan, there were a full nine Titled Douluo and three Super Douluo in the entire village. Such a lineup, I'm afraid that even a super sect force like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't take it out.

Su Mingxuan seemed to have guessed what Shu Yan was thinking. He swept his gaze over the village below, then said: "There are ten Titled Douluo-level powerhouses in the family now. Including me, there are nine in the village, and the other one is stationed in Sheng'an City, about five hundred kilometers away from here, which is considered to be escorting the family's industry."

"It is worth mentioning that the Titled Douluo stationed in Sheng'an City is my younger sister, your aunt. But the difference is that her martial soul is not ice attribute, but the Orca, which is famous for its power and toughness."

"This is an extremely rare thing in the family. You have also seen that there are about a thousand people in the village now, but because of the bloodline in the body, the children born will basically have ice attribute martial souls, but this is no longer absolute. Since the migration four thousand years ago, children with other attribute martial souls have been born in the family every once in a while."

"Also, there are three Super Douluo-level powerhouses in the family now. They are all your grandfather's brothers. The oldest is over 120 years old. The strongest is your second grandfather. He has broken through to level 97 for five years, and your third grandfather and fourth grandfather have also broken through to level 96..."

"But recently your second grandfather went out, and then got a piece of not-so-small Spirit Tide Sea Gold from somewhere. This metal is rare in the world and contains extremely rich pure energy. The three of them want to try to see if they can use the energy of this Spirit Tide Sea Gold to go further..."

Shu Yan nodded gently. He already had a bottom in his heart about what Su Mingxuan said. His spiritual power was strong to his level. Let alone a level 97 Super Douluo, even if the other party was a level 98, it was still impossible to hide perfectly under his spiritual power. Of course, if the other party was spiritual attribute, that would be another matter.

His spiritual power was only barely considered to have stepped into the limit field, and there was still a tiny gap from the true Limit Douluo level spiritual power. But a level 98 spiritual attribute Super Douluo would be different. When it comes to spiritual power, Shu Yan really couldn't necessarily be stronger than the other party.

As for Spirit Tide Sea Gold, Shu Yan had heard of the great name of this metal. It is similar to Ice Extreme God Crystal, but it is also different. Ice Extreme God Crystal only appears near the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, while Spirit Tide Sea Gold only appears in places with rich life aura in the deep sea, and there must be powerful sea soul beasts guarding it, waiting for it to be born with consciousness with the help of the power of the sea and then swallow it, thereby greatly improving its own cultivation. This metal is nearly liquid, and can be easily kneaded and deformed without force. Its interior looks like the sky and presents a deep blue color, but there is faintly green appearing, which is pure energy and vitality. This metal is also known as the treasure of the ocean. Its value is even dozens of times higher than the same volume of ten-thousand-year whale glue. It ranks third on the continent's known metal ranking list. One can imagine how precious this metal is.

However, although Spirit Tide Sea Gold is precious, it is still a bit reluctant to help the three Super Douluo break through. But having said that, absorbing the pure energy and vitality inside the Spirit Tide Sea Gold to wash away the impurities in the bodies of the three Super Douluo and supplement their Qi and blood is easy. After all, to some extent, Spirit Tide Sea Gold is the gold of life in the ocean, otherwise it would not be so rare and precious.

After pondering for a moment, Shu Yan said softly: "Let's talk about this later. I can see that most people in the family are used to this kind of hidden quiet life. Rashly coming out is not necessarily a good thing. It is best to gather the strong people in the clan to discuss it uniformly before making a decision."

Su Mingxuan nodded in agreement, and was more and more satisfied with Shu Yan...

The sky was bright.

Ruan Qinyu had woken up. Shu Yan and Su Tong stood by the bed. The brother and sister looked similar, and their temperaments were quite similar. Ruan Qinyu looked at the two with a smile in her eyes and said from the bottom of her heart:

"You two siblings really look alike. I said so when A-Yan was just born, and now it seems that I really guessed it right."

Su Tong rarely showed a gentle and coquettish attitude like a little girl. She sat by the bed and held Ruan Qinyu's hand, looked at Shu Yan behind her, and then said somewhat helplessly and enviously: "Mom, brother is much prettier than me..."

Shu Yan's mouth twitched, and he was also somewhat helpless and funny. Martial souls will affect a person's appearance and temperament. The bloodline gap between him and Su Tong's Ice Sky Snow Maiden is very large, so no matter from which aspect, he is undoubtedly more outstanding than Su Tong.

Su Mingxuan changed his clothes and came in from outside. His gaze looking at the three was extremely gentle. This scene he had imagined countless times. Now that it really happened, besides joy, he felt unparalleled satisfaction and relaxation.

"Madam, how do you feel?"

Su Mingxuan's voice was gentle. Mood greatly affects a person's state. In just two days, the decadence in his expression had been eliminated by more than half, and now he had some of his former spirit.

Ruan Qinyu nodded. Her originally slightly messy hair was now much smoother, and there was a faint blood color on her pale and thin face.

"It's already very good to be so clear-headed. It's been hard for you all these years..."

Ruan Qinyu said softly. Being able to pick the Lovesick Heartbroken Red proved that her feelings for Su Mingxuan were extremely sincere. After knowing and guarding each other for so many years, the feelings between them had been baptized by time, and there was no excessive interest involvement, nor did they have any two-heartedness.

Xu Jiujiu walked into the room after Su Mingxuan. She stood beside Shu Yan somewhat awkwardly, then smiled gently at Ruan Qinyu somewhat embarrassedly, and then said:

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Xu Jiujiu, I am A-Yan's girlfriend."

Ruan Qinyu had already heard Shu Yan mention Xu Jiujiu, but seeing her now, she couldn't help but be amazed.

"What a beautiful girl. I heard from A-Yan that you raised him since he was a child. Auntie thanks you here..."

Xu Jiujiu waved her hand quickly, then quietly held Shu Yan's hand, and said softly:

"You are joking. The return A-Yan gave me is far greater than our initial investment, and... anyway, I should be the one thanking him..."
