Chapter 321 Attending the Banquet at Fenglin
He was never someone favored by fate.
He never held onto hope; without hope, there would be no disappointment.
But what if?
He and her cub?
If he has a child, he will dedicate all his knowledge to teaching her how to conduct herself in the world, smoothing out everything for her, and paving the way for all the obstacles in the future.
Ying Ming understood perfectly well what was going on in his master's expression.
He knew that adults couldn't possibly not be tempted.
“If an adult has a child, their status will be much higher than that of Jiang Shuiqi, and even the North Sea cannot compare.”
What's there to compare?
She and her cub should rightfully rule the entire Nine Provinces and Four Seas. Even if they cause him trouble, he, as her father, will step in to clean up the mess.
Thinking about it this way, what does it matter if someone sets him up? It's insignificant, so why should he bother with it?
"Hurry up and pack your things."
"Yes, yes, I'll go get ready right away."
Ying Ming's heart had already flown to Feng Lin.
......
"Here, have some tea to soothe your throat."
Yingrong felt a little sorry for him.
"And the people who take care of you, how could they be so clueless about something as important as being pregnant?"
Bai Sang'er quickly knelt down.
"It's the maid's fault."
"Alright, it's not their fault."
Mu Yunyun lay weakly on the soft couch, her stomach empty long ago.
She was extremely worried.
The arrival of the cubs was unexpected.
She clearly remembered that she had just become pregnant with the cub.
It was that time with Ying Hua.
The shaman just examined the cub and said it was about ten days old.
If you count the days, it was when she was in Yuanzhou.
This system message is so unreliable.
If she had known she was pregnant with her child in Yuanzhou, she would never have come. Nothing is more important than her child.
"Young clan leader, Lord Ying Hua has arrived."
"So fast!" Mu Yunyun looked up; it had only been five days.
Yingrong didn't care how fast or slow it was, as long as the person arrived, she would feel more at ease.
"Please come in quickly."
As soon as the others came in, she quickly waved to Ying Hua.
"You've come at the perfect time. Yunyun is pregnant, so it's good that you're here to take care of her."
Ying Hua's body stiffened.
I was suddenly at a loss.
Mu Yunyun laughed at him: "It's also my fault. The baby was pregnant for more than ten days, and I only found out this morning."
More than ten days...
That was when we were in Yuanzhou.
Yinghua came over and brought her a soft pillow to lean on.
Why do you look so pale?
That night with him and her...
I don't know if the cubs are alright.
Mu Yunyun squeezed his hand: "What? Disappointed?"
"Don't talk nonsense, your health is the most important thing."
He didn't have high hopes to begin with, let alone feel disappointed.
He was just worried about her health.
If he had known she was pregnant, he would never have...
“This is a good thing.” Yingrong comforted her: “In a few days, Taihao’s entourage will enter the city. With the nourishment of the spirit bone, this pregnancy should not have any major problems.”
She then looked at Bai Sang'er.
"You should quickly send the message back to Yuanzhou. By the time your clan leader returns, the cub will probably be five years old. Don't scare people when that happens."
what?
Mu Yunyun was a little confused.
"What do you mean by that?" How can he be five years old?
How could she possibly stay in Fenglin for five years?
Ying Rong laughed: "What are you thinking? I brought the spirit bones back from the burial ground with great difficulty. I had someone set up an array in the back mountain a long time ago to prevent outsiders from entering. It takes a year inside the array to be equivalent to only one day outside."
"It's actually like this!"
Mu Yunyun was utterly shocked when she heard this.
"Of course, in order to prevent you from offending Lord Tailin, we can only arrange for you to stay on the outskirts of the back mountain. Please don't feel wronged."
"How could that be? I'm overjoyed, how could I feel wronged?"
If one could truly cultivate within the formation for five years...
That's like a windfall!
Yingrong gave a few instructions and then left.
She was busy making arrangements and couldn't rest for a single day.
After everyone left, Bai Sang'er breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little fortunate.
Fortunately, Lord Yinghua arrived.
Lord Yinghua possesses both wood and fire spiritual veins. Without him, the clan leader would definitely not be able to enter the back mountain alone.
"Go and fetch a cup of Dragon Soul for your clan leader to rest and recuperate."
"Yes, sir, I will go and get it right away."
Bai Sang'er went out happily.
The patriarch is pregnant with a cub; there could be no happier thing.
Ying Ming was slumping his head.
This baby is over ten days old, so it's definitely not an adult's offspring.
"What's wrong? You look so dejected."
Bai Sang'er ran into him as she came out after delivering the Dragon Soul.
Ying Ming didn't know what to say.
"I feel sorry for the adults. They finally made the contract, but in the end, they have to raise someone else's cubs."
"Keep your voice down, how dare you say something like that?"
Bai Sang'er quickly covered his mouth.
"Are you out of your mind? If the clan leader hears this, won't it create a rift between the two of them?"
Ying Ming was startled; he had just spoken too quickly and hadn't expected this.
Bai Sang'er pulled him to the corner of the wall.
"I may have heard that, but don't make the same mistake again. Besides, what's there to be so downcast about?"
"The clan leader and Lord Yinghua will be alone for five years. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What's the rush?"
After hearing those two sentences, Ying Ming's eyes lit up immediately.
Yes.
How could he have forgotten about that?
"It's my fault for being tongue-tied and not knowing how to speak. Bai Sang'er, please keep this a secret for me."
"I understand. I'll pretend I didn't hear it. Consider it a little secret between us."
Bai Sang'er winked at him mysteriously.
The boy blushed and quickly turned his head away.
Why are you blushing?
"No, no, Sister Sang'er, don't look at me like that."
......
Taihao entered the city.
This is a huge deal.
Yingrong got ready early in the morning.
Even the bluestone slabs paving the way were polished to a shine by the slaves.
Everyone in the clan tensed up.
"I never imagined that I would meet the noble person from the sacred mountain one day."
"That's right. If Lord Tailin hadn't been harmed, he wouldn't have come down from the sacred mountain."
"I've heard that every member of the clans on the sacred mountain has reached the Great Realm. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true, that's a sacred mountain!"
"What's so special about reaching the summit? The people on the sacred mountain pursue immortality, to live as long as the heavens!"
"Wow, that's amazing."
The other members of the family looked on with envy.
The sacred mountain was too far away for them.
However, being able to see people coming down from the sacred mountain makes this life worthwhile.
Mu Yunyun also came over.
She was brought here by Bai Sang'er.
After all, Yuanzhou is such a small place that no one from the sacred mountain has ever been seen before.
Of course, she was very curious too.
"They're here! They're here! The entourage of Emperor Taihao is here!"
Someone shouted, and all the members of the clan knelt down.
Mu Yunyun looked over from afar.
In the distance, maids dressed in rosy robes led the way, numbering about a hundred, each with dignified bearing and an imposing presence.
As they approached, a member of the family, dressed in white, appeared.
Taihao, a descendant of the spirit fox, possessed outstanding grace and extraordinary appearance. At first glance, she was like a celestial painting unfolded before one's eyes, a sight to behold.
Bai Sang'er was also stunned.
People say that when it comes to looks, only the spirit fox lineage can rival the ancient mermaids. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.
Everyone held their breath.
Clearly, he shared the same idea as Bai Sang'er.
That's not even the most shocking part.
What's truly impressive is the ceremonial procession.
After the family had more than a hundred sons and grandsons, they were all slaves who came to serve them.
There were nearly a thousand people, making it a very large event.
This is just the ceremonial procession for the trip.
If it were the main branch of the Taihao clan, one can imagine how many people there would be.
Mu Yunyun was also shocked.
She had interacted with ancient clans before.
But this was the first time I'd ever seen a clan on the sacred mountain.
It is indeed incredibly grand.
"Why haven't we seen Lord Tai Lin?"
One of the slaves asked a question.
"Shh, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Someone spoke up, whispering, "Lord Tai Lin can't maintain his human form, so he definitely won't show himself in public."
"So that's it."
The little slave snorted and quickly shut up.
Seeing that the entourage was about to enter the territory, Mu Yunyun didn't dare to cause Ying Rong any trouble, so she could only pull Bai Sang'er back first.
"I wonder what Lord Tailin looks like."
Bai Sang'er was still not satisfied, feeling like she had seen the world.
"I heard that the ancestor fell in love with the ancestor of the Taihao clan at first sight and neglected his other partners for a long time."
"You know about this?" Mu Yunyun glanced at her sideways.
Bai Sang'er was a little embarrassed.
"Everyone in the world knows about the ancestor, let alone something like this."
Romantic escapades are naturally something people enjoy talking about.
Mu Yunyun doesn't know much about the ancestor.
"What was the original form of the progenitor?"
"I don't know about that." Bai Sang'er shook her head: "After the beginning of the world, the Ancestor and Chaos were born, but no one has ever seen the Ancestor's original form."
So mysterious?
"If the progenitor was so powerful, why did he die so easily?"
"I don't know, but without the progenitor, the beastmen of the Nine Continents and Four Seas would not have awakened their spiritual veins, and they would probably all become slaves of the sacred mountain."
It was the progenitor who gave them the power to fight against the sacred mountain.
......
When they returned to their lodgings, the little slave guarding the gate rushed over.
"Lady Yunji, our young clan leader has activated the formation. Please come with me to the back mountain, and please keep quiet."
"So fast!"
The entourage has only just entered the territory.
Yinghua came out from inside and took her hand.
"I heard that Lord Tai Lin arrived first."
It turned out to be the case.
Mu Yunyun dared not delay.
"Please help me lead the way."
Bai Sang'er brought all the things she had prepared beforehand.
There wasn't much I brought, mainly just the animal hides of the cubs and some medicinal herbs.
Of course, she couldn't go in.
Originally, only members of the clan were allowed to enter the back mountain, but this time the young clan leader made an exception for them, and they were not allowed to bring anyone else.
"Lady Yunji, this is the path to the back mountain. The formation has only been open for one incense stick's time, so please hurry."
Mu Yunyun nodded; ahead was a tree-lined path.
Looking out from her, it was pitch black and eerie inside.
Surprisingly, when she reached the end, her eyes lit up.
Unlike the gloomy feeling outside, here it's sunny and warm, with no summer heat at all, and a refreshing breeze blowing on your face.
