Chapter 394: Stinky Dad

Everyone envied Ye Qingran, wondering what kind of terrible luck she had to be so favored by the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt?

Ye Qingran, however, showed no change in expression; she neither displayed great joy nor refused.

Hmph!

Fu Hanxiu had just taken his seat when a cold snort reached his ears.

He turned his head to look.

He saw Mo Xiaohu with both hands crossed over his chest, head tilted, chin raised, and his mouth turned up to the heavens.

The snort from his nostrils expressed his deep displeasure.

Fu Hanxiu was startled.

What's going on?

The son seemed to have a grievance against him?

"What's the matter, Xiao Hu?"

He asked, puzzled.

Mo Xiaohu pretended not to hear.

He wouldn't even spare a corner of his eye for his father.

That stinky dad—because he didn't acknowledge him earlier, everyone doubted his words and even called him a Wild Offspring.

He doesn't like that dad at all.

The son ignores him.

【8】 Fu Hanxiu forced a weak smile, feeling a wave of helplessness inside.

Fu Hanxiu gave an embarrassed smile, a feeling of helplessness welling up in his heart.

The Emperor Sovereign, whose tactics are usually unrivaled, keeps feeling like a failure when dealing with his wife's child!

Fu Er and Fu San, who came with Fu Hanxiu, were now standing behind him.

Fu Er looked at Mo Xiaohu, a gentle light appearing in his eyes.

Another young master, how nice!

Fu San wore a mischievous grin. He loved seeing Your Majesty humbled!

"Father Lord, let me tell you!" Fu Qianchen whispered, leaning close to his own Father Lord's ear.

When Fu Hanxiu heard that, a cold chill flashed in his eyes.

How dare they call Fu Hanxiu's son a Wild Offspring?

He swept his gaze over the crowd; a single look made everyone present feel immense pressure, as if standing in a frozen wasteland and being crushed by Mount Tai—in short, the feeling was unbearable.

The crowd trembled with fear.

Which short‑sighted person offended the Emperor Sovereign this time?

Fu Hanxiu stared at Mo Xiaohu.

In his heart he thought, "Xiao Hu, dad, I'm sorry for letting you fall into exile for years, bearing too many slanders."

Father Lord will soon let everyone know that you are not a Wild Offspring; you are Fu Hanxiu's son! The young master of the Summit of the Hunt!

"Emperor Sovereign, just now Yun Zhi said Xiao Chen is her child; what do you think of this matter?"

Ye Qingran sipped her tea and said softly.

Xiao Chen is Yun Zhi's child?

She, also deserving?

Fu Hanxiu's expression darkened upon hearing that.

Yun Zhi had been immersed in the uproar caused by Fu Hanxiu's arrival, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

She always thought the father of her child, the man who had taken her virginity years ago, was merely the National Master of Donglin Country; even so, she considered it quite remarkable.

After all, compared with the despicable villagers of Yun Gu Cun, the National Master's status was like Yun Zhongyue.

During this time she secretly rejoiced; with such an outstanding man, she could finally rise like a phoenix and live a noble, prosperous life.

She never expected fate to be so kind to her.

Perhaps, seeing that she had been childless for so long, fate chose to compensate her. Thus, the National Master's position turned into the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!

Western Extremity Shengyu, the Summit of the Hunt.

Although she had never been to Western Extremity Shengyu, she had heard of it many times, especially after arriving in Xiliang City, where the name came up frequently.

The Summit of the Hunt is a top power within Western Extremity Shengyu!

The Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt is said to be god‑like, with boundless power, supreme cultivation, unmatched handsomeness, and peerless elegance!

He is the man of countless women's spring‑chamber dreams!

She wondered what kind of woman could be lucky enough to receive the affection of such a perfect man.

She never imagined that the lucky woman would turn out to be herself!

The thought that she had once shared a spring romance with the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt and even bore his child made her ecstatic beyond control!

Thus, when Ye Qingran mentioned her name, she sprang to her feet without hesitation.

She wanted everyone to see that she, Yun Zhi, is the woman of the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!

Sure enough, the gazes that turned toward her, full of intense envy, greatly satisfied her vanity.

Before, she had always envied Lin Xueyan's status as a person of the Summit of the Hunt; now she no longer envies.

Because she gave birth to a son for the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!

She will thereafter rise in honor through her son!

"Do you say Xiao Chen is your child?"

Fu Hanxiu's hawk‑like gaze fell upon Yun Zhi.

Immersed in immense delight, Yun Zhi didn't even notice the cold aura surrounding Fu Hanxiu.

Yes. Country... Your Majesty, Xiao Chen is my child, and also... your child!

Yun Zhi finished speaking, and a rosy glow appeared on her face.

She and the Emperor Sovereign's child.

That's really great!

She is really so happy!

Ye Qingran had been paying attention to Yun Zhi's reaction. She furrowed her brows slightly.

She always felt that Yun Zhi didn't seem to be acting. She seemed to truly believe that Xiao Chen was her child.

If she didn't know deeply that Xiao Chen and Yun Zhi had no relation, she would almost have believed it.

So, what caused Yun Zhi to have such an idea?

"Who gave you that confidence?"

"What?"

Yun Zhi froze.

"Your Majesty, the bloodline detection of me and Xiao Chen, which you personally arranged people to do, also showed that we are mother and child, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone also looked puzzled.

Since the results of the bloodline detection all indicate that Yun Zhi and the young master are mother and child, there's absolutely no mistake.

But Emperor Sovereign, why do you have an attitude of doubting Yun Zhi?

Lin Xueyan stood aside, hugging her body, wearing tattered cloth, looking ridiculous and funny.

A dark glint flashed in the depths of her eyes.

No matter how many times the bloodline detection is done, the results are always the same!

Because Yun Zhi and Ye Qingran have the same blood flowing in their bodies!

As long as Yun Zhi is around, Ye Qingran will never know that she herself is the young master's birth mother!

Lin Xueyan thought gleefully.

"Emperor Sovereign, bloodline detection is not infallible, but it's highly unlikely to be wrong, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Fu Hanxiu looked at Ye Qingran with a half-smile, waiting for her next words.

"Unless, Emperor Sovereign can produce more convincing evidence, such as... the Soul-Attracting Pearl!"

Soul-Attracting Pearl?

These three words startled some of the people present.

Most people have never even heard of the Soul-Attracting Pearl, but some people do know of its existence.

It is said that the Soul-Attracting Pearl is a holy object of Dan Valley in Beimingzhou.

This object is an ancient relic, possessing the function of detecting bloodlines, with a one-hundred percent accuracy rate.

However, back then the Dan Saint left, and the Soul-Attracting Pearl disappeared with him, like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace.

Upon hearing of the Soul-Attracting Pearl, Lin Xueyan's heart gave a jolt, but after thinking, the Soul-Attracting Pearl had been missing for many years; even the Emperor Sovereign at the pinnacle of power does not know where this pearl is.

She let her guard down, and before she could even finish exhaling, a sentence from Fu Hanxiu almost made her heart stop.
