Chapter 901 - Children
A few minutes later.
The sect turned into a river of blood. However, it wasn"t the blood of the disciples of the sect that were supposed to die after getting surrounded by many. Instead, the blood originated from those people who came to this place.
They died under the onslaught of a 6-Star Martial Saint. Most of them were Martial Masters and Martial Grandmasters, so they had no strength to escape from the pressure alone, allowing the disciples from the sect to a.s.sist her from a distance.
Xue Lang and Xue Ning also partic.i.p.ated in this, taking revenge on those who had died without reason. Even the elder whose father got killed became a brutal killer, taking their life as compensation.
After a period of time, the Martial Saint finally lost most of her strength and took a rest. Lin Xingzhi glanced at the brother and sister first as if telling them that they owed nothing to each other before leaving.
Xue Lang felt regret while Xue Ning wished to have a powerful strength like Lin Xingzhi. Whether they would become an expert or not, it would depend on themselves. After all, she and Alex had broken Xue Lang"s cliches by giving him and his sister a kind of plot armor.
Lin Xingzhi then returned to Alex"s side, finding Alex remained still. She patiently waited for another two weeks before Alex finally opened his eyes.
"It seems you have done." Alex smiled as if he knew that Lin Xingzhi left a few days ago to settle the promise.
"You too." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"In any case, we don"t have anything more to do, so we can spend the rest of the time enjoying ourselves."
"Yeah."
Alex then raised his hand and activated his Spirit Eyes, checking his body. "Hmm… My cultivation increases slightly, but it can"t be compared to the boost in my strength."
"That"s good." She smiled, feeling happy for him.
"I wonder if I am born in this place, will I become stronger than I am right now?" Alex muttered.
"I don"t think so. First of all, we will need to see your Martial Spirit. If it is either a sword or a spear, you won"t be able to use both because no matter how you try it, you will be focused on your Martial Spirit. And this world doesn"t give you an element, so you won"t have Pure Fire from the start." She shrugged.
"Fair enough. I will just rely on an outside power then." Alex nodded. "For example, Sword and Spear Qi."
"There is something I need to warn you first. If you are going to that world, make sure you use only your Sword. As for your element, make sure to seal that s.p.a.ce Element of yours. I think you shouldn"t use your Fire Authority as well."
"I know." Alex nodded with a serious expression. He planned to safely reach Rank 8 G.o.d during this training process and take the custom-made weapons from Blackwade Clan after finis.h.i.+ng his business there.
"Anyway, how about we test your strength first? Come and hit me." Lin Xingzhi smiled and raised her hand, asking Alex to punch her palm.
"Ehm… You need to calculate the shock wave produced by this fist alone, you know. It will surely obliterate the cave and the environment behind you."
"I can contain half of the shock wave. And if I position myself to the inside, the shock wave will only travel through the hard rock behind me. It won"t give much effect to our surroundings other than that," said Lin Xingzhi while walking toward the wall behind Alex.
He thought for a moment and nodded. "I am only going to punch you with my raw strength, alright? I don"t have any plan in using any kind of energy or Martial Arts."
"Sure." She waved her hand, asking him to hurry up.
Alex then took a step backward, pulled his fist, and took a deep breath. "Here I go!"
Lin Xingzhi raised the Spiritual Energy around them to create a barrier that contained the shock wave.
When Alex"s. .h.i.t her palm, a thunderclap echoed, and a shock wave appeared and hit the wall behind her, crus.h.i.+ng it.
Huge cracks appeared here and there, creating a crater on the wall.
"I have indeed felt your strength. It"s really at Rank 8 G.o.d level. As you already know, everything in G.o.d Rank is not linear anymore. It won"t be as simple as you have a dragon strength in 1-Star Martial Lord and have two dragon strength in 2-Star Martial Lord.
"The strength in the G.o.d Rank Expert can be like this. You have ten thousand dragon strength in Rank 10 G.o.d, but you might have fifty thousand dragon strength when you reach Rank 9 G.o.d. I have felt it just now and realize that your strength is equal to a normal Rank 8 G.o.d. I hope it will stay ahead like that because the Undying Fire Body will continue to evolve along with your body." Lin Xingzhi explained and nodded.
Alex took a deep breath while using his Spiritual Energy to make sure the cave didn"t collapse. "I understand. Thank you for testing my strength. I have more confidence right now."
"Sure. Since we have finished all our matters here, shall we go?" She asked with a smile.
"I would love to." Alex stretched his hand, palm faced upward, asking Lin Xingzhi like a knight escorting his princess.
Lin Xingzhi took his hand before hugging his hand as they left the cave.
And just like that, Alex and Lin Xingzhi started their tour around the world, enjoying everything fun in this world.
He took her to the sea and turned it into an aquarium as they walked around in the seabed. Of course, they chose shallow water, so the sun could still pierce the water.
The monsters didn"t dare to do anything against them because Alex had been releasing his killing intent while they were taking a walk there.
In fact, most of them became docile while only a few decided to escape. Nonetheless, Alex had no intention to harm the environment, so he didn"t kill any of the creatures inside the sea.
After that, they picked up a fast monster and climbed a mountain as if they were riding a horse. Of course, they gave them some herbs as payment for their service even though they were monsters.
Alex was the one guiding her this whole time because he didn"t want to repeat the same mistake as he did during his honeymoon with Sherry, Firia, Anna, and Anya. Everything went wrong at that time, so he decided to incorporate that experience for this.
The result was pretty satisfying, considering how Lin Xingzhi couldn"t stop smiling during the process. Alex himself also felt happy to see that expression and enjoyed it himself.
Under the s.h.i.+ning moon, Alex and Lin Xingzhi decided to lay down on the gra.s.s, feeling the cool breeze while watching the stars.
"Say… What do you think about children?" Lin Xingzhi suddenly asked.
"Eh?!" Alex widened his eyes and looked at her face. "I have answered this, right? I will think about it after erasing the future threat."
"No. I don"t mean that one. I just want to listen to your view about children in general. After all, there are already six of us beside you…"
"Ah, I see. You are worried if we have too many children, I can"t really pay attention to all of them?"
"Yeah. It"s a bit sad at that time. And there will be a chance that the family will fall apart due to a conflict between children. That is something I don"t wish to see." Lin Xingzhi nodded. "Back then, I didn"t think of this because everything happened so fast. Before I knew it, I had lost you."
Alex paused for a moment and let out a long sigh. "Children, huh. I don"t have any thoughts in particular. It"s true that I don"t plan to have many children since there will be so many even if I only have one from each of you.
"Strength is necessary, but I don"t want to force it upon them. If they don"t want to cultivate, I won"t say anything about it as long as they don"t regret their decision.
"And I have no plan to rule Eulja as a monarch. Instead, that position will be empty permanently so that Korzan can do his job as an administrator. This way, the children won"t have any thought for the throne." Alex answered to the best of his abilities.
"Not the cleanest answer, but it"s not that bad, considering you answered my question in a fly." Lin Xingzhi smiled. "Maybe we can distance ourselves from Eulja for once and live in a situation where the children understand that they need to work with each other to get happiness."
"Sure. We can do that. Nonetheless, it will only happen in a long time, so let"s take our time to plan." Alex nodded.
"Yep. By the way, what if there is a guy trying to take your daughter away?"
"I will let him as long as he loves her genuinely." Alex nodded.
"Then, what if your daughter decides to have a harem for herself?"
"…" Alex fell silent as he couldn"t believe what she just asked.
"I mean, you have multiple wives. Although I am not a woman who can love multiple men, there is bound to be someone like that. And if you make a policy about monogamy, they will see you as a hypocrite father."
"Hmm…" Alex scratched his head, thinking about it seriously. "I will try to understand her. As long as she doesn"t fall completely to the path of l.u.s.t, I won"t say much. She and her husbands will need to be responsible too. Well, I will impose all my rules on her, so she doesn"t just do it just because of a wimp."
"Ah, you are going to teach her your principles and such?"
"Yes, basically."
"Well, I was just asking, but since you have thoughts like that, I don"t need to worry, I guess. Whatever happens in the future, let"s face them as a family, okay?"
"That"s a given." Alex smiled and kissed her.
After the long talk, they continued their honeymoon to all parts of the world. They often returned to check Xue Lang and Xue Ning, curious about what they were doing and their current fate.
Xue Lang decided to lead his sect during that time and took over the continent. Meanwhile, Xue Ning raised her strength to match Snow and Ice Palace"s power as fast as possible. It seemed their current target was to destroy that influence.
And due to the civil strife taking place in that influence, Xue Lang and Xue Ning were able to have a peaceful time for a while.
Alex and Lin Xingzhi then left the world after staying there for a whole year.
Outside, Zark had been waiting for them, surprising both of them.
"Zark?!" Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes.
"I don"t know how, but the Palm G.o.d has sniffed out a bit of our plan. It seems Master shouldn"t return to Eulja for a while because he is laying low just to catch you. I have brought the mask a dye for your hair.
"The contact lenses to hide your eyes color are here too. Last but not least, I have brought you the compa.s.s to that world, so you can go there immediately. As for Lady Lin Xingzhi, I will bring you inside after going around to camouflage where we are coming from."
"I see. The situation is not really good, huh." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"Yeah. We should lay low first because I can"t see his daughter for a while, so it"s a bit suspicious. For now, Korzan is waiting for your return. We have also dispatched a few experts to help Lady Sherry, Lady Alicia, and Lady Firia for an emergency, so they won"t be approached by the Palm G.o.d to investigate Master"s location."
Lin Xingzhi closed her eyes for a moment and nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your reports. Let"s go then."
"I understand."
"Before that, can I know some basic information about my destination?" Alex asked.
"Ah, right. This is the basic information." Zark handed a paper to Alex.
