207: Child of Destiny
Early the next morning, Li Haotian took the other party directly back to his mansion. Zhang Lian had already hidden himself according to Emerald Bird Pavilion's arrangements.
Although he was now Li Haotian's loyal servant, Li Haotian instructed him to continue acting out the play.
Zhang Linger eyed Li Haotian with some confusion. The other party had killed her grandfather and was now forcing her to marry him. This kind of behavior would appear utterly beastly in anyone's eyes.
However, the other party hadn't done anything to her. They were now a married couple in name, but no relationship had actually occurred.
Zhang Linger blinked her bright eyes, seemingly perplexed. Her gaze was full of bewilderment and disbelief. She had always thought the other party was a merciless Devil Head, and that marrying her was merely to satisfy his twistedfetish.
But the other party hadn't done anything excessive to her. This was simply too baffling.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Li Haotian instructed his Disciples to light a fire and prepare food.
Zhang Hai and Little Fatty Bai happened to be there today, and the two quickly brought the dishes to the table.
Crimson sat by the table, pouting, propping her chin on her hand, glaring fiercely at Li Haotian.
"Didn't do anything?"
"Didn't do anything."
"If you dare to lie to me, you're dead!"
Crimson gritted her teeth in anger. Zhang Linger was even more bewildered by the scene before her, not understanding what the two were talking about.
Xue You, on the other hand, sat calmly at the table, crossing her legs.
"Sister Hong, don't worry. There's no Karma entwined between these two. They aren't lying."
Crimson felt a little relieved after hearing this. Xue You could see others' Luck and also their Karma.
The Karma between the two of them was only slightly intertwined, with nothing too out of the ordinary, so it was clear that they had only held a wedding.
"How did Revered Master's romantic Luck suddenly improve? He's only been stationed at this Fissure for less than half a year and has already hooked up with three beauties."
Zhang Hai whispered to Little Fatty Bai, dissing Li Haotian. After the two brought the last two dishes to the table, everyone prepared to start the meal.
Li Haotian picked up a bowl of food, preparing to feed the bound Zhang Linger.
Just as he picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth, he saw Crimson's angry gaze.
Li Haotian could only cough lightly. A Quasi-Emperor Expert immediately walked over from not far away, took the rice bowl, and fed Zhang Linger in Li Haotian's place.
Zhang Linger blinked her teary eyes. Just now, she had been very resistant, vowing never to eat anything from her enemy.
However, her Cultivation was Sealed, so she couldn't convert Spiritual Qi into nourishment. Smelling such fragrant food, she was truly hungry.
Although she held back her tears, she still ate the contents of the bowl in big mouthfuls.
Li Haotian and the others finished lunch while chatting. The frequency of the foreign races attacking the city walls had decreased significantly recently, and Emerald Bird Pavilion had also begun to contact the foreign races, preparing to open a wormhole for them.
If nothing unexpected happened, the foreign races should be hoarding troops recently, preparing to directly attack the Heavenly Domain, bypassing this wormhole.
The Human Race had long since laid a net at the location chosen by Emerald Bird Pavilion. This time, they must severely wound the foreign races.
The plan could be implemented soon, and then everything would be revealed.
Li Haotian quietly awaited that day. Xue You swung her legs, looking at the bound Zhang Linger, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face.
"You already have Sister Hong and me, yet you're still flirting around outside."
Xue You's words instantly stunned Li Haotian and Crimson.
"What are you talking about?"
Li Haotian's eyes widened as he asked blankly. Crimson had forced herself on him, but what had he done with Xue You?
"If you don't want to admit it, fine, hmph."
Xue You rolled her eyes and showed a mischievous smile as she turned to leave. Then Crimson flipped the table.
Zhang Hai and Little Fatty Bai found an excuse and ran away.
The scene instantly became quite chaotic.
Xue You stuck out her little tongue, a blush appearing on her cheeks. Although nothing had actually happened, Li Haotian's fantasy at the time was a real experience for her.
The other party's thoughts, under the effect of her ability, directly became a personal experience. Although it was only a mental relationship, how could it not count?
After Li Haotian and Crimson argued for a long time, the other party finally agreed to let him go and move past the matter.
Meanwhile, in the territory of the foreign races, the Blood Fox Clan Chief sat with the other Fox Clan Chiefs, looking dejected.
Aside from their Blood Fox Clan, the other Fox Clans had not produced any Powerhouses Beyond Great Emperor. Usually, any meetings were led by the Blood Fox Clan.
"According to our calculations, a child of destiny should have appeared. Why is there no movement from the major clans now?"
The Blood Fox Clan Chief tapped the table lightly, somewhat displeased.
Basically, every ten thousand years, the Fox Clan would produce a Powerhouse who could see others' Luck and Karma. This individual was called the child of destiny.
After the death of the previous Powerhouse, the next one would be born ten thousand years later.
Now, ten thousand years had passed, but there were no signs.
None of the major Fox Clans had discovered a child of destiny appearing in their own clan.
"Could it be that this generation's child of destiny already perished before being discovered?"
One Clan Chief spoke, but was refuted by the others.
If that were truly the case, their Fox Clan would be able to sense their own Luck being diminished.
So, it shouldn't be as the other party said.
"What we can confirm now is that either they are still alive, or they haven't been born yet. Based on the timing, they should have been born a long time ago."
The Blood Fox Clan Chief suddenly thought of something. Then he shook his head firmly, telling himself that he had only sought excitement and casually found a Human female to have a child with, and that offspring could absolutely not be the Fox Clan's child of destiny.
That person had already fled to the Human Race territory, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive. Regardless, she would not be the child of destiny.
The Blood Fox Clan Chief tried to convince himself, shaking his head resolutely.
Unfortunately, fate does not follow human wishes, and destiny is just that wondrous.
The various foreign races began to mobilize their armies, intending to directly invade the Human Race's Heavenly Domain.
Attacking the Human Race's city walls would only cause the excess clansmen in the clan to die, reducing some resource consumption.
If they attacked the Human Race's Heavenly Domain, it would be equivalent to being able to plunder resources there.
This was a sure-profit business. Sacrificing some clansmen's lives could exchange for a large amount of resources, which would allow their race to become even stronger.
For the foreign races, this was a very cost-effective deal.
Therefore, no one objected to this matter.
They had already contacted Emerald Bird Pavilion, one of the Ten Great Powers of the Human Race, and it was estimated that a wormhole would be opened for them to pass through soon.
