300: The Ran family who wants to wipe out the whole family

"I guessed it!"

Ran Yuzhu, with a face like jade, replied neither obsequiously nor arrogantly, "Father hopes that Xi Ling and I will get married. However, Xi Ling is devoted to the dao, and Father is helpless. Father can only wait, wait for Xi Ling's Hongluan star to move."

"But now, Xi Ling seems to have her Hongluan star moved by Gu Qing. I guess Father will definitely make a move against Gu Qing."

Ran Shanqiang listened quietly, becoming increasingly satisfied with his son, and praised, "Not bad, my son has great talent."

Ran Yuzhu gently shook his head, "Father, have you ever considered how to face the Immortal King Gu Qing invited after killing him? What is their relationship? Has Father investigated it clearly?"

Ran Shanqiang remained silent.

His divine sense could not infiltrate the Great Array without anyone knowing, so he had no idea what relationship Gu Qing and He Ni had.

He also didn't have the ability to track He Ni.

But seeing the two of them in the same room and then going to the void together to overcome the tribulation, he figured their relationship was out of the ordinary.

But... "For my son's Great Dao, for the Ran Family to dominate the Immortal Realm and exist forever, I would die without regrets."

Ran Shanqiang's eyes were fervent, and his tone was firm and resolute.

At most, he would die.

As long as Ran Yuzhu married Xi Ling, stole the creation from her, and with the assistance of Immortal King He Guang, Ran Yuzhu's talent would surely make him an Immortal King.

He could even aspire to become an Immortal Emperor.

One must know that Ran Yuzhu's talent was in no way inferior to the Holy Son of Yaoguang; in fact, it might even surpass him.

This was personally verified by Immortal King He Guang.

Even for the engagement between the Holy Son of Yaoguang and Xi Ling, initially, the person Xi Ling was supposed to be engaged to was not the Holy Son of Yaoguang, but Ran Yuzhu.

However, Xi Ling opposed it, using the single word 'brother' to thwart all their father and son's schemes.

"Father, have you ever considered that Xi Ling is not truly moved by Gu Qing, but is rather coerced by Gu Qing's threats?"

Ran Yuzhu spoke slowly, interrupting Ran Shanqiang's fantasy.

"What?"

"Impossible."

Ran Shanqiang suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock.

How could Xi Ling, so strong and ruthless, a fierce person who would rather be shattered jade than intact tile, be threatened by Gu Qing?

This was unrealistic.

It was too absurd.

"Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be impossible, but Father, don't forget, Xi Ling is setting up the Heaven Refining Great Array."

"At this time, falling out with Gu Qing would only cause more complications. If it ruins her plans, Father, not to mention your reincarnation, I, and the entire Ran Family, will follow in the Jun Family's footsteps."

Ran Yuzhu's tone was calm, as if he was stating an ordinary matter.

However, it struck Ran Shanqiang's ears like a thunderclap, making him tremble all over, his face pale, and cold sweat pouring down.

He was not foolish; with Ran Yuzhu's guidance, he instantly saw things clearly, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.

After a while, Ran Shanqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking like he had survived a catastrophe: "I almost made a grave mistake, causing countless ages of planning to come to naught. Thankfully, my son reminded me."

Given Xi Ling's ruthlessness and malice, if he ruined her good deeds, it would not be as simple as atoning with death.

His Ran Family, with its millions of clansmen, would have their divine souls refined, never to be reborn.

"It's good that Father understands. Serving a ruler is like accompanying a tiger; in the future, never act impulsively again," Ran Yuzhu said in a low voice.

He appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, when he learned that Ran Shanqiang intended to act against Gu Qing, he was almost so angry that he spat blood.

"My son speaks wisely."

Ran Shanqiang nodded repeatedly, and finally, his expression turned resentful: "This demonic seed is truly hateful."

Xi Ling was truly hateful.

She was ruthless and merciless to everyone.

His Ran Family diligently and tirelessly served Immortal King He Guang, yet merely because a clansman made a small mistake, she killed that person.

She wasn't even satisfied with that; she insisted on capturing ten thousand Ran Family geniuses, abolishing their cultivation, and demoting them to mining slaves, never to see the light of day, to toil in dark mines until death.

Finally, she confiscated the Ran Family's assets and destroyed the Ran Family's foundation of millions of years.

The actions of Xi Ling, this demoness, were simply devoid of conscience.

"Father, be careful with your words," Ran Yuzhu looked at him calmly.

"Hmph," Ran Shanqiang snorted, his clear and refined scholarly face contorted with ferocity.

"When this little slut becomes my Ran Family's daughter-in-law, I will definitely make her pay."

"Father," Ran Yuzhu's tone grew a few shades heavier.

"My son, rest assured. I have set up an isolation barrier; it will not be detected."

Ran Shanqiang's gaze was sinister as he asked, "Does she truly only feel sibling affection for you?"

Although Xi Ling was a demonic seed, she also had genuine emotions.

She was very filial to her parents and treated her four maids like family, letting them use time marrow as if it were free.

Xi Ling and Ran Yuzhu were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was very close. He didn't believe it was only sibling affection.

After all, his son was so outstanding, skilled in both literary and martial arts, proficient in a hundred arts. After hundreds of years of companionship, he didn't believe Xi Ling felt no attraction for Ran Yuzhu.

"Father, you must not fantasize about controlling her," Ran Yuzhu said with a somewhat displeased expression.

"Hmph, she's just a woman. Once she enters my Ran Family's gates, can she really turn the world upside down?"

Ran Shanqiang snorted, his eyes full of desire.

Immortal King He Guang and his wife had only one descendant, Xi Ling. As long as Ran Yuzhu married Xi Ling, then everything would belong to their Ran Family.

For cultivators, the most important things were wealth, companions, techniques, and territory, followed by talent.

Immortal King He Guang possessed countless divine objects, dao fruits, Immortal Emperor Dao scriptures, and world-shaking secret arts.

Even a pig could be cultivated into a pig with the potential of an Immortal King.

Moreover, Ran Yuzhu was not a pig.

And Xi Ling, who was suspected of having the inheritance of a primordial great god, of which the Heaven Refining Great Array was just one part, possessed even more terrifying inheritances.

If all of this were acquired by Ran Yuzhu and the Ran Family, then the Ran Family would surely soar, becoming the overlords of the Immortal Realm, or even dominating the entire Immortal Realm.

"Hoo!" Ran Shanqiang's breathing became rapid, and the greed and longing in his eyes were almost overflowing... Nine days passed by leisurely.

In the void, colorful auspicious clouds covered the galaxy, purple qi surged mightily, heavenly flowers rained down, and golden lotuses bloomed in the void.

Boundless auspicious signs appeared, celebrating the birth of a primordial divine being in heaven and earth.

Yan'er bathed in the divine radiance of the Great Dao, her plump little body filled with sacred and inviolable majesty.

She was like a Divine King who ruled over heaven and earth.

Yan'er opened her small mouth and swallowed all the auspicious clouds and purple qi into her belly.

The Dao Bone within her body emitted primordial divine light, devouring the auspicious clouds and purple qi, and exhaling even purer Great Dao essence to nourish her physical body.

The Heavenly God Realm was very special; as long as one did not condense a dao fruit, no matter how much energy one absorbed, one would not break through.

Yan'er's tiny body was like a bottomless pit; the Great Dao essence exhaled by her Dao Bone was completely devoured by her blood qi, strengthening her vital essence.

"Mommy," Yan'er waddled her short legs, contracting space, and faint space divine runes appeared beneath her feet.

This was the power of a primordial divine being.

They could naturally control the laws of the Great Dao.

Her divine body was like the source of the Great Dao; as she grew, the laws of the Great Dao also grew and became more perfect.

Yan'er instantly pounced into He Ni's arms, her chubby little hands clutching He Ni's clothes, her big eyes sparkling with joy.

"Smooch!"

"Mommy's little baby."

He Ni carefully held her daughter, her excitement overflowing.

This plump, white, dough-like baby girl was her daughter.

She was the daughter she had longed for countless years, through countless lonely nights, finally arriving.

She kissed her, then poked her daughter's fair, tender cheek with a slender finger; it was so soft.

He Ni's heart was filled with tenderness.

"Phew, nine days have passed, it's finally over."

After nine days of constantly coaxing Yan'er, Gu Qing experienced for the first time how arduous it was to be an old father.

However, seeing Yan'er's eyes full of He Ni, filled with filial affection, Gu Qing felt a little sour.

But he didn't say anything. After the mother and daughter had their fill of affection, he finally opened his arms.

"Let Daddy hug you!"

"Daddy," Yan'er was very well-behaved, her voice sweet and soft, and she immediately opened her arms for a hug too.

Gu Qing took his daughter into his arms, his gaze involuntarily falling on the top of her head: "One swirl, huh."

"What do you mean?" He Ni was startled. Was Gu Qing disliking her daughter?

"Yan'er has one swirl, that's great."

He paused, then added, "I love it so much."

"Hmph," He Ni snorted, looking at him unhappily.

She always felt that Gu Qing didn't mean that.

"What's a swirl?" Yan'er tilted her little head, her big eyes bewildered, full of curiosity.

Gu Qing was charmed. His voice softened unconsciously as he pointed to her little swirl: "This is a swirl."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

"Okay, baby, wait a moment."

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear our daughter is hungry? Go catch a few true dragons to barbecue."

He Ni: "..."

She frowned and said angrily, "Why don't you go? I'm not going, you go."

She didn't want to be separated from her daughter for a single moment.

"Alright, I'll go right away."

He put Yan'er into her arms, and Gu Qing immediately flashed away.

Yan'er's tribulation had caused a huge commotion, attracting countless living beings, but they were scared away by He Ni's aura.

He remembered that there were a few true dragons among them, as well as many varieties of divine beasts.

His divine sense swept across the sky, and he shook his head. The divine beasts that came to watch the excitement had all vanished.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and quickly found a target.

The nine true dragons Jun Lintian used to pull his carriage were quite good.

It was just that he hadn't chosen them at the time.

After all, the nine-dragon carriage only looked impressive, but its speed was terribly slow; it was something that looked good but was useless.

It couldn't compare to a flying boat of the same level, let alone his Time-Space Shuttle.

Now, however, it came in handy.

He would settle accounts with Xi Ling and, while he was at it, demand the nine pure-blooded true dragons for his daughter to nourish herself.

And Ran Shanqiang must die.

However, this was, after all, a subordinate of Immortal King He Guang. Before killing him, he had to clarify the reason and see how Xi Ling would resolve it.

After all, one should look at the owner before beating a dog. Gu Qing didn't want to offend Immortal King He Guang and fall out with Xi Ling because of Ran Shanqiang; it wasn't worth it.

Of course, if this was Xi Ling's instruction and she insisted on protecting Ran Shanqiang, then there was nothing more to say; he would strike first.

With that thought, Gu Qing's figure transformed into a streak of light, and in a few breaths, he arrived at the Jun Family: "Xi Ling, come out here!"

His voice echoed throughout the Jun Family, but Xi Ling did not appear.

Instead, four beautiful married women walked out, arriving through the air, their bearing graceful and charming.

Their appearance was stunning, their figures curvaceous and plump, like ripe peaches.

Every gesture and smile exuded maturity and intelligence, and the aura of a mature woman on them, like aged wine, held a fatal allure for certain people.

All four were at the peak of the Profound God Realm.

Such cultivation would allow them to be the head of a sect, yet serving as Xi Ling's maids was truly a pity.
