228: The cry of the beast

"Alright, alright, there's no helping you, Little fellow. I agree, just don't come and bother me anymore!"

"Yay! Long live Dad!"

"But Ping'an, you are still only at Qi Refining First Level. Have you thought carefully about going to the Lower Realm?"

"Your son has thought it through. Your son wants to see the scenery outside of home, and I hope father will grant my wish!" The young boy spoke with a maturity beyond his years.

"Since that's the case, I won't try to keep you. A man's ambition is to explore the world. These items, I'll give them to you!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he took out the treasures of Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise that the System had given him earlier and handed them to Chen Ping'an.

"Thank you, Dad!" A smile appeared on Chen Ping'an's face.

"If there's nothing else, go tell your mother. I'll send you down now."

"Alright, Dad!"

Afterward, a group of children grandly departed.

...

After sending them all to the Mortal realm, Chen Xuan moved to the golden egg.

Even though he had given this egg Qi Luck Peach Blossom, there was still no movement from it.

"System, are you tricking me? I'm waiting for a Divine Beast to hatch so I can directly make it my Immortal Spirit. Otherwise, if I just bring back a Martial Skill, it would be too unreasonable!"

"Ding! The incubation period has been significantly shortened. The host can use a Low-level Catalytic Talisman to ensure successful hatching!"

"Then hurry up and exchange a Low-level Catalytic Talisman for me. Once it hatches, I'll be at ease."

"Used. Hatching..."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! The Divine Beast has hatched. Please check!"

Hearing the System's prompt, Chen Xuan quickly looked at the golden egg. He saw a crack suddenly appear on the surface of the huge golden egg.

Instantly, Chen Xuan felt a powerful aura emanating from the golden egg, shaking his mind. He couldn't help but hold his breath.

"System, what exactly is this thing?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"The host will know soon."

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the shell of the golden egg finally cracked open, revealing what was inside.

Immediately after, with another "crack," the eggshell shattered, and a small, black and white creature the size of a fist crawled out from inside.

Its eyes blinked, curiously staring at Chen Xuan, looking very cute.

Hmm, it's not a Divine Beast panda. Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is... a damn penguin chick? The Divine Beast I painstakingly hatched is a penguin?!"

Chen Xuan found it hard to believe. This was too outrageous. Could this ordinary-looking penguin really be a Divine Beast?!

It must have been a gust of wind just now. What powerful aura? Just an illusion!

"System, are you sure this thing is a Divine Beast? Am I seeing things?" Chen Xuan asked again.

"Ding! According to System detection, this Divine Beast is called 'Forbidden Penguin,' an extremely rare Divine Beast from ancient times, possessing extremely strong Forbidden power, comparable to top-tier Divine Beasts."

"Forbidden Penguin? How forbidden is it?" Chen Xuan looked at the small, dark Little fellow in front of him, finding it hard to believe.

How could this be compared to a Divine Beast?!

Then he carefully observed the penguin chick again. Chen Xuan found that the aura emanating from this penguin chick was exactly the same as that of a normal animal.

"It's over, I forgot to download the anti-scam app!" Chen Xuan complained, but he looked at the little penguin and still walked over.

"Little fellow, show me your Forbidden power?" Chen Xuan squatted down and reached out to touch the little penguin chick.

The little penguin chick seemed not to care much for Chen Xuan, acting aloof.

"Q-bi..." The little penguin let out a soft, childish cry.

"Hmm????" Chen Xuan was stunned.

"Although I've never seen a penguin, I'm absolutely sure that penguins don't make that sound!"

"Q-bi Q-bi!!"

Chen Xuan: "..."

"Little thing, you certainly remind me of some not-so-pleasant memories! But if it's really you, then it might indeed give me some good things!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, regardless of whether this little thing objected, he directly ran his Cultivation Technique and transformed it into his Immortal Spirit.

Immortal Spirit: Forbidden Penguin

Passive: Prosperity

As the name suggests, it means rising steadily and liking other people's money.

Active: Financial Sanction

Used on enemies or teammates, pick a Peach Blossom. The petals are divided into 3, 6, and 9 points. The host can pluck petals at will to obtain effects.

3 can modify the Martial Skill of an enemy/teammate for use. 6 directly copies their Martial Skill for use. 9 directly strengthens their Martial Skill and surpasses it for use!

Note: Modification does not mean weaker; it might be stronger!

Chen Xuan: "..."

"Although I really don't want to admit it now, I have to say, you are truly amazing, buddy, you are truly amazing!"

...

After subduing the Forbidden Penguin, Chen Xuan basically had nothing else to do in the Secret Realm, so he bid farewell to the women and planned to return to the Zhang family.

After all, at this time, calculating the time, Xiao Hongmei was almost due to give birth, so he had to go and see her, both for emotional and logical reasons.

Soon, Chen Xuan arrived at the Zhang family. When he returned, he immediately went to Xiao Hongmei's Dao field.

At this moment, Xiao Hongmei was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, stroking her belly, her face beaming with a happy smile.

"Madame Zhang, Chen Xuan requests an audience!"

As soon as Xiao Hongmei heard this, she instantly became energetic: "Quickly, invite him in! Have him wait in my Cultivate place!"

After speaking, she hurried up and went to get dressed.

Chen Xuan waited for a long time before she finally arrived late.

"Madame Zhang!" He calmly stood up.

"You scoundrel! There's no one else in my Dao field! Don't call me that!"

"Then how should I address Madame Zhang?"

"Husband, you're annoying~"

Xiao Hongmei stomped her foot and ran directly towards Chen Xuan.

"Cough, cough, slow down, be careful!" Seeing this, Chen Xuan stopped teasing her and quickly supported Hongmei, fearing she might fall.

"Hmph, who told you to tease me as soon as you came back? I spent so long getting ready, and you didn't even bother to praise me for being beautiful!"

"Beautiful, beautiful, my wife must be beautiful!"

"Husband, your concubine has missed you so much these days!" Hongmei tightly hugged Chen Xuan, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Silly girl, haven't I come?" Chen Xuan gently stroked Hongmei's beautiful hair, comforting her.

Xiao Hongmei stopped abruptly.

"I'm not a girl! I'm 500 years older than you!"

"Slap!"

"What I say it is, it is!"

"Oh."

"How is your body now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Everything is fine. I basically control all the resources of the Zhang family. Our baby will definitely be excellent! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Just that my belly occasionally hurts."

"What? Let me check!"

"Actually, you don't need to. Husband, just rub it for your concubine!"

Chen Xuan: "( ། – _ – ། )"

"Husband, I..."

Hongmei looked up, her eyes misty with tears, gazing at Chen Xuan, as if she had something to say.
