30: Chapter 30 This is just the beginning; I will create the strongest family!

The full moon banquet came to a close amidst a wave of near-frenzied cheering and awe.

That day was not only a day of suffering for the Young Master of the North Yuan Royal Family, Wang Teng, but also the moment the Ancient Xu Family once again declared its hegemony to the entire cultivation world.

The people from the Wang family left dejectedly.

That powerful Elder of the Wang family fished the unconscious Wang Teng out of the sea like a dead dog. He didn't dare utter a single harsh word and even had to pay a large sum of "mental distress compensation" to Xu Changsheng before leaving—the reason being that Wang Teng's blood had dirtied the Xu Family's waters.

It was quite ridiculous, but it was very much the Xu Family way.

After this battle, Xu Chen's reputation was completely reversed.

He went from the "kept man" everyone mocked to an unfathomable "genius of the Imperial Clan." Although everyone still couldn't see through his specific cultivation level, the mere thought of the infant in his arms who could slap away a Peak Dragon Transformation Stage expert before even being weaned made everyone subconsciously shudder.

A father's status rising with his son's—it was truly terrifying.

...

Late at night, Hall of Eternal Life.

The clamor had faded, and all was silent.

Xu Chen stood on the viewing terrace with his hands behind his back. The night wind fluttered his snow-white robes, making him look exceptionally otherworldly.

Behind him, inside the warm Bedchamber, two ever-burning lamps emitted a soft glow.

Su Qingge was lying on her side on a soft couch, gently patting the newly asleep Great Treasure. Having just become a mother, she had lost some of her coldness and gained a touch of gentle charm, making her so beautiful one couldn't look away.

Meanwhile, Luo Hongyi sat to the side, holding an ancient text titled "The Parenting Bible," studying it with a furrowed brow. Her serious expression was even more focused than when she had practiced the Heavenly Demon Great Art back in the day.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qingge sensed the fluctuations in Xu Chen's aura and asked softly.

Xu Chen snapped out of it and turned to walk into the room. His gaze swept over this warm scene, and a sense of unprecedented satisfaction welled up in his heart.

"Nothing."

Xu Chen walked over and sat between the two women. He naturally took the book from Luo Hongyi's hand and held Su Qingge's hand.

"I just feel like it's all a dream."

"A few months ago, I was just a waste of a young master who couldn't cultivate and spent all day lying in bed waiting to die."

"And now..."

Xu Chen looked at his Chaos Body son sleeping soundly, then at the two peerless wives by his side, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"I am now a peak Great Power expert, I have two of the most beautiful wives, and a son destined to become an Emperor."

"This is what it means to be a winner in life."

Luo Hongyi rolled her eyes and leaned against his shoulder, saying coquettishly,

"Look at how easily satisfied you are."

"This is just the beginning. Our Xu Family is an Imperial Clan; are you satisfied with just this level of achievement?"

"Besides..."

Luo Hongyi touched her still-flat belly, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation and ambition.

"Sister has already given birth, but there's no movement in my belly yet."

"Husband, you can't be partial. I want to give birth to someone even more powerful than Great Treasure!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen laughed heartily and reached out to pinch her nose.

"Don't worry, the bread will be there, and the children will be there too."

"Our Xu Family's goal isn't just to dominate the Eastern Wastelands."

Xu Chen stood up and walked to the window, his gaze casting toward the distant night sky. Those deep eyes seemed to pierce through the endless darkness to see a wider world.

"I want to create a truly strongest family."

"I want the bloodline of my Xu Family to flow in every corner of these myriad heavens and realms."

"I want the surname 'Xu' to become a supreme taboo that transcends Great Emperors and the Heavenly Dao!"

At this moment, the aura around Xu Chen was no longer lazy, but instead radiated a grand ambition capable of swallowing the sun and moon.

Su Qingge and Luo Hongyi looked at their husband, their beautiful eyes sparkling.

This was the man they had chosen.

Seemingly cynical and playful on the surface, but in reality, he possessed a brilliant mind and the power to swallow mountains and rivers.

Just then.

The system in Xu Chen's mind, which had been silent for several days, suddenly emitted a crisp notification sound, as if responding to his grand ambitions.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host has completed the first phase goal: Initial Family Prosperity.]

[Performing periodic summary...]

[Current number of offspring: 1 (Chaos Body)]

[Current number of spouses: 2 (Tai Chu Saintess, Demon Sect Empress)]

[Current cultivation: Second Layer of the Sendai Stage (Peak Great Power)]

[Family Providence Level: LV2 (Thriving)]

[Evaluation: Although the start was perfect, there is still a tiny bit of a gap from the goal of 'Number One Family in the Heavens.' Please keep up the good work; do not get too absorbed in childcare, for the forest outside is still very large.]

[New Mission Triggered!]

[Radar scanning...]

[Target Locked: Ancient Jiang Family Divine Maiden—Jiang Liuli.]

[Target Info: Beauty Score 95, possesses a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart (Fragmented), unparalleled resourcefulness, but Born with Severed Meridians and nearing the end of her lifespan.]

[Current Coordinates: Central Province, Ancient Jiang Family Ancestral Land.]

[System Suggestion: This target not only has an extremely high genetic rating, but the Jiang Family behind her also controls more than half of the spirit medicine resources in the Central Province. If you can win her over, you will not only gain an exceptionally intelligent wife but also provide strong support for the family's pill treasury. Furthermore, 'treating the sick and saving lives' is the best shortcut to increasing affection. Please make sure to seize the opportunity!]

Xu Chen looked at the image on the system panel of a woman wearing a pale green dress, with a gentle temperament but a sickly face, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The Jiang Family Divine Maiden?

The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart?

Isn't she that sickly beauty who is said to be able to calculate all the secrets of heaven but cannot calculate her own fate?

And...

"Born with Severed Meridians, nearing the end of her lifespan?"

A confident curve formed on Xu Chen's lips.

In this world, is there any spirit pill or wondrous medicine stronger than the "Hongmeng Creation Origin Body"?

None!

As long as the person isn't dead, even if they have half a foot in the grave, he, Xu Chen, can rely on his pure Yang Qi to forcefully pull them back!

"It seems the rest period is over."

Xu Chen turned around and looked at his two wives, a familiar, slightly mischievous smile appearing on his face.

"My two wives, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Great Treasure at home."

"Your husband might have to go on another long journey."

"Going out again?"

Su Qingge was slightly stunned, then seemed to think of something and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Where to this time? Are you going to find 'heavenly materials and earthly treasures' for the child again?"

"Or rather..."

Luo Hongyi took over the conversation with an expression that said she saw through everything, "Are you going to find us another sister?"

"Cough, cough."

Xu Chen, whose intentions had been exposed, didn't panic at all. Instead, he puffed out his chest with righteous confidence.

"Both, both."

"Our Xu Family has a big business, and Great Treasure is too lonely by himself. We have to find him a few companions, right?"

"And I heard the scenery in the Central Province is quite nice. I'll go scout it out so I can take you all there for a trip in the future."

The two women looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, but there was no sign of opposition in their eyes.

They had long since accepted this fact.

Xu Chen was destined not to be a common man; his journey was the sea of stars, and also... those three thousand beauties.

As long as he had this home and them in his heart, that was enough.

"Go then."

Su Qingge stepped forward, adjusted his collar, and said gently, "You don't need to worry about things at home. My sister and I will guard Hall of Eternal Life."

"But there is one thing."

Luo Hongyi waved her fist and threatened fiercely, "The one you bring back this time must pass our test! If it's some kind of improper, flirtatious tramp, don't blame this Empress for turning hostile!"

"Don't worry!"

Xu Chen kissed her on the cheek. "Don't you know my standards? I only take those who are peerless beauties and of the highest quality!"

"They will definitely be extraordinary women as excellent as you two!"

...

The next morning.

Xu Family Discussion Hall.

When Xu Chen proposed going to the Central Province's Jiang Family to "visit relatives," the reaction of Xu Changsheng and the group of elders was surprisingly unanimous.

"Go! You must go!"

The Great Elder's beard trembled with excitement. Holding the "Ancient Peerless Beauty Ranking," he pointed to Jiang Liuli, who was ranked third, and said:

"Young Master! This old servant has been following this Jiang Family Divine Maiden for a long time! Although her body is a bit weak, her brain is sharp! If you can marry her back, the IQ of our Xu Family's next generation will definitely go off the charts!"

"Exactly!"

Xu Changsheng also gave a big wave of his hand and directly threw a storage ring to Xu Chen.

"This is the betrothal gift just organized from the family treasury... oh no, I mean, travel expenses."

"Inside are five hundred thousand catties of Divine Source, three hundred Saint Herbs, and several Quasi-Emperor Weapons I got tired of looking at."

"Chen'er, don't save money for me once you get to the Central Province!"

"Remember our family's ancestral teaching—"

"As long as the score is 90 or above, if you can bring her back, don't let her go! If you can't bring her back, then snatch her back!"

Looking at this room full of elders who were even more enthusiastic about "selecting concubines" than he was, Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart felt warm.

This was family.

This was his strongest backing.

"Father, Elders, wait for my good news!"

Xu Chen put away the storage ring, turned around, and strode out of the hall.

Outside the hall, the sun was bright.

The Nine True Dragons were already prepared, and the golden carriage glittered under the sunlight.

Xu Chen stepped onto the carriage, looked back at the towering Hall of Eternal Life, and then at the still bustling Changshang Immortal Island in the distance.

"Target—Central Province Jiang Family!"

"Depart!"

Roar—!

The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and golden light pierced through the sky.
