161: The Ten Evils of Antiquity

Gu Lingshuang's fingers, fair as jade, gently pressed against his temples.

She spoke softly, her breath like orchids.

"Husband, the kunpeng inheritance of the Hun Kun Academy is somewhat different from what I remember."

Su Xuanchen enjoyed his wife's massage and gave a lazy "mm-hmm."

"How is it different?"

"In my previous life, this Legacy was supposed to emerge several hundred years later."

Gu Lingshuang's eyes darkened.

"Furthermore, I only discovered while organizing ancient texts recently that the Kunpeng's origins are far greater than imagined."

She paused, choosing her words carefully.

"Husband, did you know that in the Immortal Ancient Era, there were the ten ancient fierce beasts?"

Su Xuanchen felt a bit of interest and opened his eyes.

"Tell me about them."

"The ten ancient fierce beasts do not refer to ten races, but rather ten taboo creatures whose Physiques and Bloodlines reached the pinnacle."

Gu Lingshuang's voice was very low, as if recounting a forbidden myth.

"They are the darlings of the Dao, yet also its outcasts."

"Every single one, as long as it reaches adulthood, possesses the power to slay an Immortal King!"

Su Xuanchen raised an eyebrow.

"Slaying an Immortal King?"

"That is somewhat interesting."

"Among them, the True Dragon is the foremost of the ten fierce beasts, known as the Supreme of All Beasts."

Gu Lingshuang continued, "And the Kunpeng is also among the ten fierce beasts. Its Bloodline is no less noble than the True Dragon's, and in some aspects, it even surpasses it."

"The Kunpeng Treasure Art is an unparalleled divine technique of the Immortal King level, possessing heavenly power."

"It can manifest the form of the Kun, swallowing the heavens and earth, and refining all things."

"It can manifest the form of the Peng, soaring straight up and commanding the ultimate speed of the world."

"Furthermore, it can control the powers of Taiyin and Taiyang, reversing Yin and Yang and overturning the universe!"

"Such a Legacy is definitely not something an ordinary Prodigy can bear."

Just as Gu Lingshuang finished speaking.

Beside them, the Dao Xuan Saintess, who was organizing the Family's ancient records, also walked over, her beautiful and elegant face full of seriousness.

"Sister Lingshuang is right."

"The kunpeng inheritance is of great importance. Once it emerges, it will surely attract the greed of countless old monsters."

"We must carefully select the candidates to send."

"Otherwise, not only will we fail to obtain the Legacy, but we will also bring disaster upon the Su Family."

Yu Xin, who had been silently wiping the longsword in her hand, also looked up.

She was now at the Great Emperor realm, her temperament becoming increasingly cold and detached, her sharp eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

"We must not only guard against outsiders but also against internal traitors."

"The interior of the Hun Kun Academy might not be clean."

"An Opportunity like this is enough to drive anyone mad."

With the three stunning beauties each offering their words, the atmosphere became heavy.

Su Xuanchen listened but smiled dismissively.

"Just a bunch of insignificant rabble."

"They dare to covet the possessions of my Su Family?"

He was just about to say something.

"Daddy!"

A figure came skipping over and threw herself directly into Su Xuanchen's arms.

It was Su Xuanchen's eldest daughter, Su Changge.

The little girl's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Great Saint realm, and her solid Foundation even allowed her to challenge a Quasi-Emperor.

She hugged Su Xuanchen's neck and acted coquettishly.

"Daddy, I heard there's a fun place to go for training?"

"I want to go too!"

Su Xuanchen looked at his daughter's bright, eager eyes and had an idea.

He pinched his daughter's little face and said to Gu Lingshuang with a smile:

"In that case, why not let Su Changge give it a try?"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Gu Lingshuang immediately objected.

"No!"

"The Kunpeng Secret Land is extremely dangerous; even a Quasi-Emperor could perish inside. I don't agree!"

She snatched Su Changge from Su Xuanchen's arms and held her tightly, her protective maternal stance brooks no argument.

"Mother, I've already grown up!"

Su Changge squirmed discontentedly in Gu Lingshuang's arms.

"I can even beat a Quasi-Emperor grandpa!"

"Still no!"

Gu Lingshuang's attitude was firm.

Su Xuanchen looked at the mother and daughter, feeling a bit of a headache.

He was naturally worried about his daughter's safety as well.

But he also knew that a true Qilin cannot be raised in a greenhouse.

The children of the Su Family should soar above the Nine Heavens, not be kept in the backyard.

Just as the scene reached a stalemate.

Another crisp and pleasant, yet somewhat haughty voice rang out.

"If anyone is going, it should be me."

Everyone turned around.

They saw a young girl wearing a purple gown, her figure appearing even taller, walking over slowly.

Between her brows, there was a natural air of arrogance and confidence that looked down upon her peers.

Su Yaoyao!

She is the perfect combination of the Body of the Great Dao and the Chaos Immortal Bone. At birth, she resonated with the ten thousand Daos, and her cultivation has now reached the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Her combat strength is enough to stand on equal footing with the best among the veteran Great Emperors!

"Yaoyao?"

Gu Lingshuang's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Nonsense! Why are you joining in the mess too?"

Su Yaoyao walked straight up to Su Xuanchen and gave a slight curtsy.

"Daddy."

"Your daughter is already a Quasi-Emperor; the kunpeng inheritance belongs to no one but me."

Her voice was cold, yet it carried an undeniable confidence.

"You won't do!"

Su Changge broke free from Gu Lingshuang's arms, placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at her younger sister.

"I'm the elder sister! If anyone's going, I'm going first!"

"Elder sister?"

Su Yaoyao glanced at her and curled her lip.

"You're not even a Quasi-Emperor; going there would just be delivering yourself on a platter."

"You!"

Su Changge's little face turned red with anger, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight her sister.

"Say that one more time!"

Seeing that the two sisters were about to fight.

Su Xuanchen cleared his throat.

"Both of you, settle down."

As soon as he spoke, the two little girls immediately fell silent, looking like ducks that had been grabbed by the neck.

They looked at each other, their gazes clashing fiercely in the air.

After a moment.

They strangely reached a consensus.

The next second.

Two figures, one from the left and one from the right, threw themselves into Su Xuanchen's arms at the same time.

"Daddy~"

Su Changge hugged his left arm, her voice so soft and sweet it could kill.

"Just let me go, I promise to be good and listen to my sister."

"Daddy~"

Su Yaoyao hugged his right arm; her actions weren't as practiced as her sister's, but once that cold voice took on a coquettish tone, its lethality was astonishing.

"Your daughter wants to go out and see the world, not stay at home all the time."

Pincer attack from both sides!

Sugar-coated bullets!

Su Xuanchen felt his head throbbing.

He looked at his two precious daughters in his arms, one quirky and mischievous, the other with peerless talent.

He was worried that they would encounter misfortune outside or be targeted and plotted against by those old monsters who had lived for countless eras.

Yet he was even more unwilling to see them become delicate flowers in a greenhouse, losing their edge.

"Sigh..."

Su Xuanchen sighed and finally admitted defeat.

In the face of his daughters' coquettish offensive, even Immortal Kings or Immortals would have to yield.

"Fine, fine."

He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I allow it, I allow it all."

"However, you two must promise me that safety comes first and you must not overreach."

"Yay! Daddy is the best!"

Su Changge cheered and gave him a big kiss on his left cheek.

Su Yaoyao also showed a genuine smile and, following her sister's lead, gave him a light peck on his right cheek.

With warm and soft figures in his arms and his daughters' sweet kisses on his cheeks.

Su Xuanchen was filled with the satisfaction and happiness of being a father.

Gu Lingshuang watched from the side, still worried in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.

She understood that her husband's decision was the best arrangement.

Right at this heartwarming moment.

Suddenly.

Another charming yet timid figure came stumbling over from not far away.

She looked at Su Xuanchen, her eyes full of admiration and dependence.

Her little mouth opened, and she uttered two words.

"Daddy."
