Chapter 1889

Rong Shi said: "Their purpose in using me to blackmail my father is just to obtain the Heavenly Man Myriad Images Diagram?"

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Exactly so, the Heavenly Man Myriad Images Diagram is divided into Yin and Yang volumes, both preserved in the world as tattoos; the Yin volume is tattooed on the body of Emperor Jingde of Da Yong, while the Yang volume is tattooed on Empress Dowager Jiang's body. Uncle back then must have, while presiding over Emperor Jingde's funeral, secretly stolen the tattoo of the Yin volume. According to his last words, only by delivering the complete Heavenly Man Myriad Images Diagram into the hands of the Heavenly Remnant Daoist can one exchange for father and son reuniting, family reunited; unfortunately Uncle never lived to see that day."

Rong Shi teared up sorrowfully and said: "My father endured too much pressure and pain in his life; as his son, I am truly unfilial, unable to share his burden." Thinking of his father's tragic death, he became filled with rage, gritted his teeth and said: "If I don't kill Li Chen Zhou, I swear I won't be human!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Li Chen Zhou is clever, he has a major psychological flaw; moreover, his situation within Da Yong is not good now, so getting rid of him is not difficult."

Rong Shi said: "I've recently heard many rumors about him and the Long Princess Xue Lingjun..." He paused, then finally said: "It also involves you."

Hu Xiaotian smiled faintly, naturally understanding what he meant.

Rong Shi said: "I don't believe you would take a liking to a woman like Xue Lingjun; you must be deliberately using this matter to provoke Li Chen Zhou, right?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled: "If not forced by circumstances, I would not resort to such a measure."

Rong Shi however said: "Those who accomplish great things do not fuss over minor details; my sister's affair should also be made known to the world."

Although Hu Xiaotian had also considered spreading the secret of separating Jian Rongxin and Li Chen Zhou to humiliate Li Chen Zhou, he refrained out of respect for Jian Rongxin, shaking his head and said: "I don't want to provoke Rongxin."

Rong Shi said: "This scoundrel Li Chen Zhou bullied my sister, murdered my father; I will certainly not spare him!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Elder brother still needs to stay calm."

Rong Shi said: "Rest assured, I won't act rashly and cause trouble; over these years, all external affairs of the Wuxian Sect have been handled by me, my master... she has entrusted all external matters to me."

Upon mentioning this matter, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the still-sleeping Xi Yan, and softly said: "Elder brother, I have a request." He then explained Xi Yan's situation to Rong Shi.

After hearing this, Rong Shi sighed and said: "Hu junior, it's not that I won't help you; in this matter I truly lack the ability, the Loss Heart Gu can be removed, but Xi Yan's condition should be the Fetal Breath Grand Method."

"Fetal Breath Grand Method?"

Rong Shi nodded and said: "Those who practice the Fetal Breath Grand Method enter a state like that of a fetus, with their self-consciousness sealed off in a separate space."

Hu Xiaotian asked: "How to break it?"

Rong Shi shook his head and said: "It cannot be broken, except if she herself awakens, because the Fetal Breath Grand Method is not imposed on her by outsiders but stems entirely from her own cultivation; I have only heard of the Fetal Breath Grand Method, even my master does not understand it, only the holy maiden of our sect is qualified to cultivate it; however, the Fetal Breath Grand Method is the foundation of the Seed Demon Grand Method, and only after successfully cultivating the Fetal Breath Grand Method does one become qualified to advance further."

Upon hearing the Seed Demon Grand Method, Hu Xiaotian naturally thought of Xu Mi Tian; since parting with Qing Yun, two years have passed, remembering when they separated they had made a three-year agreement, yet until now Xu Mi Tian has never come to find him, not knowing where she is now; if Xu Mi Tian were here, perhaps she could easily awaken Xi Yan.

Hu Xiaotian's heart inevitably grew shadowed; after Xi Yan achieves great accomplishment in the Fetal Breath Grand Method, she might become another Xu Mi Tian.

Before leaving, Hu Xiaotian finally got the chance to be alone with Jian Rongxin; under the pretense of asking her some questions, he entered her room, and just as the door closed, the usually reserved Jian Rongxin flung herself into his embrace, actively offering a fragrant kiss; her greatest wish was to fulfill her father's last will, to find her own elder brother, and today all her wishes have been fulfilled.

After a long embrace, they finally parted, foreheads touching; Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Don't forget your words; if you find your elder brother, you will spend a lifetime repaying me."

Jian Rongxin blushed and said: "As long as you don't drive me away, I will never leave you."

Hu Xiaotian stroked her tender cheek and said: "Drive you away? How could I bear to?"

Jian Rongxin said softly: "You must not bully me in the future." Her marriage with Li Chen Zhou had already become a shadow in her heart.

Hu Xiaotian laughed heartily and said: "In the past I couldn't bear to; now it's that I can't bear to plus I dare not. If I have the slightest fault toward you, I fear my brother-in-law will come charging with a big blade."

Jian Rongxin also giggled, whispered: "He certainly wouldn't." She put her arms around Hu Xiaotian's neck and said: "In this world, I love only you."

Hu Xiaotian felt greatly reassured, knowing Jian Rongxin had finally let go of the past and bravely expressed her love for him. He pinched her delicate cheek and said: "Uncle Tang, are you coming to the welcome banquet tonight?"

Jian Rongxin whispered: "I don't like these occasions; you and elder brother go, besides, what's the point of women tagging along when men drink?"

Hu Xiaotian thought that made sense, nodded, and lowered his voice: "I'll come over to see you tonight."

Jian Rongxin naturally understood what he meant, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she whispered: "Qingxuan has been keeping me company here these past two days."

Hu Xiaotian grinned and said: "No problem, we're all our own people; being together is fine!"

Jian Rongxin blushed and said: "No way, hurry up and go!" She pushed Hu Xiaotian out the door.

From outside came Hu Xiaotian's voice: "Don't forget, I'm serious!"

After a long while, Jian Rongxin's mosquito-like whisper was heard: "Mm!"

That evening, the welcome banquet hosted by Tang Wen Zheng saw everyone absent except Tang Qingxuan; Jian Rongxin and Qin Yutong were also missing, as Jian Rongxin had said, they don't like being in the spotlight. Hu Xiaotian's main concern was still Qin Yutong; today, due to the sudden surprise of Qin Yutong's pregnancy, he felt a bit dazed, said a few foolish things, and ended up angering Qin Yutong, who left; he must quickly find her to comfort her properly.

So Hu Xiaotian's drinking was also absent-minded, and he ended the gathering early.

One person came to Qin Yutong's residence, saw the lights on inside, felt a secret joy, tiptoed to the door, straightened his clothes, lightly knocked on the door; after knocking for a while with no response, he shoved hard and the door swung open, but Qin Yutong was not inside.

Hu Xiaotian was somewhat surprised, turned around to look, and saw a graceful figure standing alone on a nearby grassy hill—who else could it be but Qin Yutong?

Qin Yutong stood on the hill, silently gazing at the bright moon in the sky, her whole body enveloped in a faint blue-green halo, like a transcendent moon-palace fairy; a cool breeze blew, she shivered involuntarily, at that moment someone draped a cloak over her and then embraced her in warm arms; Qin Yutong turned and saw Hu Xiaotian.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Be careful of the cold, don't freeze our baby."

Qin Yutong glared at him and said: "You don't want to take responsibility, do you?"

Hu Xiaotian embraced her, his big hand naturally resting on her abdomen, and smiled: "I'm just too happy, and this came so suddenly it made me giddy; in the heat of the moment I said that nonsense."

Qin Yutong wasn't truly angry with him; seeing his sincere apology, she naturally forgave him, her soft body leaning into his embrace and said: "I don't know what to do; if my belly grows, how will I face everyone?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Debts have debtors; I got you pregnant, so I will naturally take responsibility."

Qin Yutong bit her cherry lip and said: "I thought you'd deny it to your death."

Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm too happy to even process it, Yutong… actually I… I have something hard to say…" He then revealed that despite being married to Long Xi Yue for so long, he had never managed to get her pregnant; of course, to avoid Qin Yutong looking down on him, he didn't mention the matters concerning Tang Qingxuan, Jian Rongxin, Weisa, Huo Shengnan, and Sumeru Tian.

Qin Yutong said: "Maybe it's because of the Heaven-Man Myriad Images Chart; when we… that time we didn't refer to the Heaven-Man Myriad Images Chart…" Bringing up this, she blushed so much she couldn't meet Hu Xiaotian's eyes.

A flash of inspiration crossed Hu Xiaotian's mind; if the cause truly lay here, perhaps he could resolve this big trouble, and later he could make all these lovely confidantes pregnant one by one. He chuckled: "Perhaps so, Yutong; why don't we go back and practice some more—I've forgotten a bit."

Qin Yutong flushed deeply, shoved him away and said: "Don't talk nonsense; in my current state I can't indulge your horseplay, and even if you don't sympathize with me, you should think of the child..."

Hu Xiaotian was just saying it; actually Qin Yutong's pregnancy made him more nervous than anyone else, after great difficulty a seed had taken root and sprouted, naturally it was extremely precious; he didn't want any mishap from satisfying a momentary desire, he nodded with a smile and said: "I was just saying we should take a look at the Heaven-Man Myriad Images Chart, not do that."

Qin Yutong blushed and said: "There are plenty of people to accompany you in viewing it; in any case, don't look for me."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Then you might as well stay at the Sandy Island Ranch to nurture the fetus; when you give birth to our precious son, you can consider other matters later."

Qin Yutong shook her head and said: "I'd rather go to Dongliang Jun; it's more convenient there, as Fang Fang can look after me, and I don't want too many people to know about this."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Am I losing face? Why fear people knowing? I'm the child's father; naturally I have nothing to hide."

Qin Yutong pouted: "You're so annoying; anyway I just don't want to be laughed at."

Hu Xiaotian said: "This matter has to be made known; I can't spend my whole life hiding from the light, can I?"

Qin Yutong said: "Everyone doesn't know how to bring this up with Yue." Actually her biggest worry was this matter; she and Long Xi Yue were close confidantes, she had once opposed Long Xi Yue being with Hu Xiaotian, yet now she had beaten Long Xi Yue to the punch by becoming pregnant with Hu Xiaotian's flesh and blood—knowing that Long Xi Yue was Hu Xiaotian's lawful wife, as a friend she naturally had to consider Long Xi Yue's feelings.
