28: If I marry your mother, what should you call me?
Inside the spatial passage, it was bizarre and surreal, with countless fragments of Law streaking past like meteors.
For an ordinary Cultivator, even a Saint, traveling through such chaotic spatial turbulence would require extreme caution; otherwise, a slight carelessness could result in being swept into an unknown spacetime and lost forever.
Yet the world-breaking divine ark traveled as if on flat ground, a stable black screen of light forming around its hull, shielding it from all spatial turbulence.
Inside the Divine Ark, it was so steady that one could not feel even the slightest bump.
Qin Yuebai and her daughter, Qin Wanwan, sat uneasily at a table crafted from ten-thousand-year warm jade, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Before them were placed various immortal fruits and Spirit Teas they had never seen before, their scents alone enough to make one's mouth water, yet they dared not even touch them.
Too extravagant!
Everything here was so luxurious that it made them feel terrified.
Even a casual cup was carved from Spiritual Qi a hundred times more terrifying than the finest spiritual jade in their Forest Realm.
A single fruit they had never seen contained Spiritual Qi even purer and more concentrated than the guardian Spirit Medicine of their Misty Rain Tower.
They felt like two country girls who had suddenly stumbled into an imperial palace, finding everything novel, but feeling even more a deep-seated sense of inferiority and restraint.
"Why aren't you eating?" Jiang Yuan's voice came from nearby.
He had changed into comfortable casual clothes and was leaning against a soft couch, holding a book. His posture was lazy, yet he possessed an indescribable nobility.
"Young… Young Master, we… we are not hungry." Qin Yuebai answered nervously.
"Call me husband." Jiang Yuan corrected, setting down the book.
"Hus… Husband…" Qin Yuebai's pretty face flushed red, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.
Qin Wanwan buried her head even lower, not daring to look at Jiang Yuan.
"That's right."
Jiang Yuan smiled, sat up from the soft couch, and walked over to sit beside them. He naturally picked up a purple grape, peeled it, and held it to Qin Yuebai's lips.
"Try this. This is a Purple Crystal Dragon Whisker Fruit. It tastes good and is beneficial for your Physique."
Qin Yuebai's body stiffened, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.
But when she saw the trace of unquestionable authority in Jiang Yuan's eyes, she dared not move, only stiffly opening her small mouth to eat the grape.
She noticed the man's hand remained near her mouth, but she dared not say a word, her attention drawn to the fruit pulp in her mouth.
The pulp melted upon entering her mouth, and a sweet juice instantly burst across her taste buds, followed by an incomparably pure wood-attribute Spiritual Qi surging into her limbs and bones, making her feel as if all the Meridians in her body were expanding.
"This…"
She widened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
With just one fruit, she felt her injuries heal and her cultivation improve slightly!
Although it wasn't much, this was only one fruit.
There were at least hundreds in this plate!
If she ate them all, she could easily step into the 6th Realm!
"Is it good?"
Jiang Yuan picked up another one and held it to Qin Wanwan's lips, "Does Wanwan want to eat?"
Watching her mother like this, Qin Wanwan nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook her head again.
"I don't…"
"What do you call me?" Jiang Yuan smiled at her.
Qin Wanwan's small face flushed red instantly. She looked at her mother, then at Jiang Yuan, and whispered, blushing: "Husband… wuu…"
"That's not right."
Jiang Yuan stuffed the fruit into her mouth and smirked, "What should you call me?"
"…"
"Daddy."
"Such a good girl."
Jiang Yuan pointed to the fruit plate on the table, "Don't be polite, eat as much as you like. In the future, you can have as much of these as you want."
The mother and daughter blushed slightly and exchanged a glance.
Being fed in front of one's mother (daughter), this feeling… was very subtle!
But… unexpectedly, it wasn't unpleasant!
"I am very curious, why does your Physique split into two individuals?" Jiang Yuan asked.
As far as he knew, the Twin Lotus Body did not have this ability; only the Three-Life Profound Mother Body of the Saint Physique did.
It is said that the Three-Life Profound Mother Body can simultaneously summon three selves from the past, present, and future to fight together, and even if two of them die, the other can live on perfectly well and re-condense them during future Cultivate.
It is equivalent to having three lives in disguise.
Mentioning this, Qin Yuebai's eyes dimmed slightly, and she explained softly:
"Replying to Husband, the Twin Lotus Body is originally one body with two lives, possessing two forms. Usually, it is a single body, but when encountering a life-and-death crisis, or forcibly attempting a Breakthrough of the Realm, one can split the Origin of the other half to form an independent sub-body."
"This sub-body possesses almost the same Aptitude and potential as the main body and can Cultivate independently. When needed, the main body can re-absorb the sub-body, allowing the power to merge into one, thereby erupting with strength far exceeding its own Realm, but this kind of split can only happen once."
"Back then, in order to attempt a Breakthrough to the 6th Realm, the Divine Ability Realm, I almost died and vanished. I don't know what went wrong, but that was how Wanwan was split off."
It was about the same as the intelligence provided by his uncle.
It seems a mutation occurred during the Cultivate process, resulting in a split-off alt account.
"Then if you undergo Body Integration, will Wanwan cease to exist?" Jiang Yuan asked again.
This was the question he cared about.
Qin Yuebai nodded, a flash of pain in her eyes:
"Yes, Wanwan's consciousness will completely dissipate, and all her power and memories will return to my body."
"That won't do."
Jiang Yuan shook his head at them and continued: "In the future, you are forbidden from mentioning anything about Body Integration. You two are two separate people."
He said this with righteous confidence, incomparably domineering.
But hearing this, Qin Yuebai and Qin Wanwan felt their hearts tremble violently.
"Husband, but Wanwan's dao injury…"
She was referring to the dao injury Qin Wanwan suffered when she forcibly attempted Fusion while being threatened by Blood Boundless.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "It's just a mere dao injury, what does that matter? You eating more is better than anything else."
"Right," he seemed to remember something and said to Uncle Fu nearby, "Uncle Fu, show them the betrothal gifts we prepared for Misty Rain Tower this time."
"Yes, Your Highness the Emperor's Son."
Uncle Fu bowed in salute and then took out a Storage Ring, handing it to Qin Yuebai.
"Tower Master Qin, these are the betrothal gifts prepared by His Highness the Emperor's Son for you and Misty Rain Tower. Please take a look."
Qin Yuebai took the ring with trembling hands and probed it with her Divine Thought.
The next second, her breathing instantly stopped!
