Chapter 590 – Talking About Children

Lin Xuanzhi’s gaze fell to sweep over Lin Zhan’s flat belly. “How is your baby?”

“It has a huge appetite.” Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows and put his hand on his belly. He sighed slightly. “I don’t know if I should keep this child. I’m hesitating these days.”

“Why not?” Lin Xuanzhi asked, “After all, it is your flesh and blood.”

Lin Zhan said sadly, “You also know the shameless things done by the Nine Land’s Prophet Family nearly three decades ago. They kept saying that the first son of the Xuan clan would be the first heir, which almost brought death to the Xuan clan. That person should have been you, and it was you, but because you broke the seal of the Five Continents and made a deal with the Dao of Heaven to be reborn again, no one remembered your existence, and naturally do not know that you are the legitimate heir of the Xuan clan.

Everyone thought that the first heir of the Xuan clan has not been born yet, and there have been eyes staring at the East Land since I married Xuan Wushe. In fact, the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital was happy. At least it was normal for men to have no children. Over the years, it was only Demon Venerable You Ming who had publicly revealed that he’d given birth to a child as a man.

If I have another child, he will be the eldest son of the East Land in name. According to the East Sovereign’s character, how can he let anyone hurt his child? But the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital would never let this child go easily. Ah, it’s really a mess. There’s no solution.”

Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment and said, “But the East Sovereign knew decades ago that his eldest son would be the first heir, but it’s been many years, and he didn’t seem to be worried about this.”

“That was before,” Lin Zhan said, “I didn’t want to tell you the truth, but after you discovered the Fiends, there were also Fiends in the East Land. After Xuan Wushe resolved the matter with those Fiends, he went to the Land of Great Evil to find out. Before I could stop it, he had already hit the road alone. When he came back two months later, his entire person was different from before. I don’t know what he saw in the Land of Great Evil, but he actually began secretly preparing to attack the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital and start a war. When I asked him why, he said that those people would kill his children. I also happened to find myself pregnant again, so I dared not tell him anyway.”

Lin Xuanzhi said thoughtfully, “So, everything is related to the Land of Great Evil.”

Lin Zhan nodded. “Moreover, I found some faults in his cultivation. He always has headaches from time to time, and his temper is much more violent than before. I think it has something to do with the Land of Great Evil.”

Lin Xuanzhi frowned slightly. “Didn’t you say that the Yan family sealed Fiends before in the Land of Great Evil?”

“It’s all made up by the Yan family.” Lin Zhan sneered, “It is clear that Xuan Jiuxiao was the one who sealed them. Otherwise, do you think a brilliant genius like him would sacrifice himself when sealing Demon Venerable in the Great Demon Array? However, according to the records, the Yan family also helped him.”

Lin Xuanzhi asked again, “Where is the Land of Great Evil?”

Lin Zhan shook his head. “I asked, but Wushe said nothing to me.”

After a moment’s silence, Lin Xuanzhi said, “Mr. Lan from Pill Limit Hall has always been good at traditional medicinal practices. It is best to let him go to the East Land some day and check the pulse of the East Sovereign.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Lin Zhan and said, “I’m afraid treating the disease is second place. The most important thing is that he doesn’t want you to leave his field of vision, right?”

Lin Zhan criticized with a smile. “You stinky little…”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Ah Hen is very happy to hear that you are coming. Why don’t you come with me and meet Ah Hen?”

Lin Zhan nodded. “I came here to see him naturally. I sent someone to inquire. Did he go to the East Courtyard?”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “However, he should be in Little Penglai now.”

Lin Zhan, “…”

His son is quick.

Lin Zhan and Lin Xuanzhi went to Little Penglai together. In the soul space, Yan Tianhen was practicing his sword conscientiously, but what he was holding was a sword cut from bamboo. When he saw Lin Zhan, Yan Tianhen immediately withdrew and walked to Lin Zhan, crying out Daddy.

“Miss me?” asked Lin Zhan.

“Naturally,” Yan Tianhen said. “I think of you every day.”

Lin Zhan touched Yan Tianhen’s head and said with great comfort, “You’re much taller than before, and still so clever and pitiable.”

Yan Tianhen shook his finger and said solemnly, “I am different now. Daddy should say that I am mature and stable. After all, I have a family now.”

Lin Zhan, “…”

Pfft! Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but laugh.

Yan Tianhen threw himself at Lin Zhan and acted spoiled. “Daddy, I want to eat your fried taro chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root.” After speaking, Yan Tianhen felt his mouth water.

Lin Zhan laughed and scolded him, “You little brat, I don’t think you missed me, but missed the food I made instead, didn’t you?”

“Yes, ah.” A jade boy came over, looking up at Lin Zhan with his little face. “When he slept last night, he even drooled. When he woke up, he said that his Daddy would come today, so he must have good luck with food today.”

When Lin Zhan saw the child, he suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Isn’t this Ah Bai? How could he transform so quickly?”

Ah Bai was somewhat proud, saying, “After staying in the soul plate for a long time, my cultivation improved quickly. Moreover, the little master has broken through the Profound Realm. Hu Po and I have a contract with him, so it took us on a free ride.”

Lin Zhan was delighted in his heart and waved his hand. “Go and find the ingredients. I’ll personally cook tonight, and let you taste some divine food.”

Ah Bai cheered, and he took Hu Po to run towards the mountain.

There were many demonic beasts in the soul plate, all of which were low-level demonic beasts stocked as food for the tiger cubs. Usually, they were fed as raw food to Ah Bai and Hu Po but now, they could be used as ingredients.

Lin Zhan looked at the fruit trees on the other side of the river and said, “Xuanzhi, go and pick some fruits.”

After Lin Xuanzhi drifted away, the smile on Yan Tianhen’s face faded a little, and he looked at Lin Zhan sadly. “Daddy, I have something that I’ve been thinking about, but I can’t solve it in my heart.”

Lin Zhan touched his head. “I thought you had something to say, that’s why I made Xuanzhi go away first. If you want to say something, just say it.”

Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Zhan with clear eyes. “Daddy, you said you were pregnant before, but is it really true?”

Lin Zhan said, “This is naturally true, just don’t let others know.”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “Daddy, at first when I knew you were pregnant, my heart was very happy, but at that time, I didn’t know that Huarong Gege’s parents were you and adoptive father. The moment I knew of everything, I couldn’t be happy anymore. Daddy, do you think I am a very selfish person?”

Lin Zhan was slightly shocked and looked into Yan Tianhen’s eyes. “This is human nature. Speaking of which, Xuanzhi has never been cared for by the East Sovereign since he was a child, and he’s always had a bumpy life. His mind is grander than that of ordinary people. If I have another child at this time, that child would surely be bound to get the East Sovereign’s full-hearted favor. In this way, the comparison between them is unfair to Xuanzhi.”

Yan Tianhen flattened his mouth and said, “Dage doesn’t say anything, but isn’t he really sad in his heart? Daddy, I feel terrible, but I also want a little brother. What should I do?”

Lin Zhan raised his hand to touch the reddish corner by Yan Tianhen’s eye and sighed.

He looked at the fruit trees. “Ah Hen, have you ever thought about how this child in my stomach came from?”

Yan Tianhen said, “It was made by you and adoptive father.”

Lin Zhan knocked on Yan Tianhen’s skull. “Stupid, if I hadn’t taken a pill medicine that can make me pregnant, how could I be pregnant as a man?”

Yan Tianhen was stunned. “Are you pregnant with this child on purpose?”

Lin Zhan nodded. “If I give birth to this child, he will be the first heir in the prophecy, so all eyes will fall on this child. So Xuanzhi… naturally, no one will pay attention to him anymore.”

Over the years, which of the Nine Land’s Divine Clans hadn’t been staring at Lin Zhan’s stomach? Which one was not waiting for the birth of the first successor? The prophet master from the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital stared at the astrolabe every day, trying to find out when the heir of the Xuan clan would come to the world, but he could not divine it.

Although Lin Xuanzhi’s temperament was low-key, his behavior was inevitably high-profile. There were countless people who wanted to find some clues about him.

Yan Tianhen opened his mouth and said, “But Dage is the first heir. If we don’t say it, then no one will know.”

Lin Zhan shook his head. “It won’t be long until someone finds out. The reason why those people haven’t found it yet is because your master used a deceptive trick to hide Xuanzhi’s life chart. He reminded me three years ago that the Yin family has been trying to divine Xuanzhi’s life star, and the deception won’t last long. Once the obscuring mist disappears and the life star reappears, Xuanzhi’s identity will be completely exposed to the world. When that time comes, the Yan family would not easily let him go.”

Lin Zhan looked at Yan Tianhen and took a deep breath. “Xuanzhi is not strong enough now, and he is not even a Saint. I am afraid that he will be discovered and hunted down by others one day. He will be caught up in it before he can grow up. Therefore, after thinking about it, I still think that we should make a distraction to let those people move their eyes away from Xuanzhi.”

What if Lin Zhan had a child?

The first son of the Xuan clan in name will attract everyone’s attention. The identity of the first heir was enough to make the whole Nine Lands boil for it. Yan Tianhen didn’t expect Lin Zhan to have such a state of mind from beginning to end. He couldn’t help but want to gasp.

“But… that is …” Yan Tianhen’s line of sight fell on Lin Zhan’s stomach. He frowned. “Daddy doesn’t like this child? He is also very innocent. What if someone wants to bully him?”

Lin Zhan gently stroked his abdomen and said, “I will try my best to protect him.”
