Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Inside the side hall's bedchamber of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, warm light fell softly, casting a cozy glow over the entire room.

Little Yun Li lay prone beside the crib, her large round eyes bright and sparkling, staring unblinkingly at Xuan Yao sleeping soundly on the bed with his little bottom bare.

Yun Li's little mouth couldn't help but exclaim in wonder: "Wow~ so cute~"

Standing beside her was Sunday, who had already grown somewhat taller, his brows and eyes increasingly refined and handsome.

And Kakavasha, tall and upright in bearing, both also lowered their gazes.

Quietly watching the soft, glutinous little heir in the swaddling clothes, their eyes holding a touch of novelty.

"Hehe~ chubby cheeks, so want to poke them~"

Robin leaned in next to Yun Li, her little claws itching to move, staring eagerly at Xuan Yao's pink cheeks, raring to try.

"Little sister, must not disturb the heir's rest."

Sunday spoke in a gentle, soft voice, hurriedly stepping forward to lightly hold Robin's arm.

Pulling her to the side, afraid she wouldn't control her strength and would wake Xuan Yao.

"Brother~ mean! I just want to touch lightly~" Robin pouted her little mouth, acting spoiled with a face full of grievance.

Thinking of something, Robin then looked at her older brother and said: "Brother, I also want to...."

Her words weren't finished before she was interrupted.

"No! You don't want to!"

Sunday's tone was decisive, cutting off his sister's words directly and cleanly.

Not giving an inch of room for negotiation, his protective sister complex written all over his face.

Kakavasha crossed her arms, cast a sidelong glance at Sunday, the corner of her mouth hooking a teasing smile, and teased unceremoniously:

"Hehe~ sis-con."

Sunday was struck by those three words "sis-con", his cheeks instantly flushing red, shame and annoyance mixed.

He raised his hand pointing at Kakavasha, his gaze sharp and silently signaling:

Go! Outside! Let's spar!

Kakavasha chuckled lightly, not fearing in the least, immediately turning and walking out of the bedchamber following Sunday.

The two headed straight for the pavilion over the pond in the courtyard, planning to use chess, cards, and various contests to decide a winner, resolving this little dispute.

"These two kids, really full of energy."

Luo Rui Ya stood to the side, watching the two's departing backs, smiling helplessly yet gently, her brows and eyes full of warmth.

Yi Sha also laughed softly, comforting in a gentle voice: "Sister don't worry, in the General's words, this is mutual love-hate, they won't break."

"Time's almost up, we should carry the heir to find the General."

Luo Rui Ya stepped forward, carefully picking up the sleeping Xuan Yao, her movements so gentle as if holding a rare world treasure, eyes full of doting love.

This was her duty, and given she already had rich child-rearing experience, the task of caring for Xuan Yao naturally fell to her and Yi Sha, the two about to carry the little heir to the congratulatory gift venue.

Today was no grand festival, merely the seventh day since the Divine Might General's legitimate son Xuan Yao was born.

Yet across the Huan Yu, every force that could rank a name, and those that couldn't, all arrived in full.

The Shen Wu Xian Zhou's congratulatory gift venue was already thronged with guests, an unprecedented spectacle.

"General~"

A delicate, bewitching voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xuan Ge who was mutually teasing with Diamond.

Xuan Ge looked up, instantly a face of speechlessness, pointing a finger at the speaker, a face full of helplessness.

Only to see Da Li Hua standing in a bewitching pose beside the Duke of Netherfire, the corner of her lips holding a bewitching smile, her gaze fixed straight on Xuan Ge.

The Duke of Netherfire caught sight of Xuan Ge's gesture pointing at Da Li Hua, instantly breaking into a cold sweat, his heart giving a startled jump.

His right hand leaning on a cane, he turned his head to look at Da Li Hua beside him, lowering his voice urgently asking:

"Daughter, you know the Divine Might General?"

"Mhm~ counts as it, old acquaintance."

Da Li Hua's gaze remained fixedly trained on Xuan Ge, replying casually, her tone carrying a few parts of indescribable intimacy.

The Duke of Netherfire nodded in understanding, then quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly to Xuan Ge with an exceptionally respectful attitude:

"Divine Might General, your prestigious name I've long heard, today fortunate to meet, truly of outstanding bearing and extraordinary presence."

To the side, Diamond in a black suit crossed his arms, the corner of his lips holding a faint smile, speaking blandly to provoke:

"Duke of Netherfire, didn't expect you'd actually dare come to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou."

"Why would I not dare?"

The Duke of Netherfire leisurely straightened his tie with his left hand, looked up at Diamond, tone steady:

"The Divine Might General is a treasure of the Destruction Path, I as a loyal follower of Destruction, even if I die, must come see this world's rare treasure."

Standing half a body behind Diamond, Jadeite first glanced at Da Li Hua without changing expression, then slowly spoke:

"True words indeed, after all you dare freely slander the Amber King, yet absolutely wouldn't dare the slightest disrespect to the Hunt."

"Hehe~ Miss Jadeite jokes."

The Duke of Netherfire didn't explain much, merely gestured to Da Li Hua beside him, letting her present the congratulatory gift prepared in advance.

Da Li Hua stepped forward, her action bold and intimate, directly reaching out to put her arm around Xuan Ge's shoulder.

Da Li Hua's this action made the Duke of Netherfire instantly freeze in place, a face full of bewilderment.

He never could have imagined that his own daughter would be so brazenly familiar with General Shen Wei.

"General~ this is a Destruction Crystal Stone rarely seen in all the world, specially prepared for you."

Da Li Hua giggled, reaching into her chest area and pulling out an exquisite small box, slowly opening it.

Inside the box lay a rhombus-shaped red gemstone, ordinary in appearance yet containing incomparably pure Destruction Power, its aura profound and restrained — by no means a common object.

Xuan Ge glanced helplessly at Da Li Hua who was feigning unfamiliarity, reached out to receive the gift box, and said with a faint smile:

"Many thanks for the congratulatory gift, you two please take your seats."

Diamond watched the figures of the Duke of Netherfire and Da Li Hua taking their seats, turned his head to look at Xuan Ge, and teased with a face full of mischievous grins:

"That business between you and Xing Xiao is truly known to everyone across the universe, and the Duke of Netherfire's visit today — his intentions are absolutely not as simple as just giving a gift."

As he spoke, he grabbed Jade and pulled her before Xuan Ge, raised an eyebrow and grinned wickedly:

"You can even get involved with Destruction, why not count us in too? How about Jade bears you one as well?"

"....." Jade's mouth corner twitched fiercely, her cheeks flushing red in an instant.

She never could have imagined Diamond would speak without restraint, saying such absurd words, making her embarrassed to the extreme.

"Diamond, I'll say it again — you come to Shen Wu for treatment, register for neurology, no charge, free consultation."

Xuan Ge gave Diamond a sidelong glance, his face full of disdain, and directly turned away, no longer acknowledging his teasing.

Diamond shrugged helplessly, and with Jade still standing awkwardly in place, turned and walked toward their own seats to sit down.

Although Ling Sha and Dan Heng were specially responsible for receiving guests from all sides at the congratulatory gift venue.

【67】 But the guests from the universe were truly too many, and as the protagonist Xuan Ge, he also had to personally receive guests of crucial status.

But there were simply too many guests from across the Huan Yu, and as the Zhu Jiao, Xuan Ge had no choice but to personally Act As host and Pick Up those distinguished guests whose Identity carried Foot-weighty importance.

Just then, Bo Tiou led Luan Po to the entrance of the congratulatory gift venue, but were stopped by the Shen Wu troops on guard.

Bo Tiou didn't panic in the slightest, immediately took out his phone, quickly flipped through the album, then held the screen toward the guard soldier, saying with full confidence:

"My baby is sworn brothers with General Shen Wei, the big boss, little brother, please accommodate us."

"Please wait a moment, while I verify identities."

The Shen Wu guard on duty had a stern expression, single hand pressed to the communicator at his ear, and reported in a deep voice: "Lady Ling Sha, there are two visitors at the gate requesting an audience with the General."

"I'm Bo Tiou!" Bo Tiou immediately announced his name, and Luan Po at his side also obediently raised her hand, calling out crisply:

"I'm Luan Po~"

The Shen Wu guard then supplemented the report: "The visitors' names are Bo Tiou and Luan Po, claiming to be acquainted with the General."

Ling Sha's gentle voice soon came through the communicator:

"Let them in, the two belong to the Sea-Faring Rangers faction, they are people the General knows."

The Shen Wu guard ended the communication, verified and registered the two's identities according to protocol, then respectfully let them pass.

Bo Tiou led Luan Po, smoothly entering the congratulatory gift venue.
