Xu Lei stretched and thought to himself, ’Time flows like a river... it passes so quickly.
To think I’ve lived this long!
Before I started my Cultivation, this would have been unimaginable!’
He thought again.
Including his first life, plus the thirty years he had spent asleep in the middle...
From the day he arrived in this world until now, the total span of time was over two hundred years!
Xu Lei couldn’t help but feel a surge of complicated emotions.
The Xu Lei of today had a few more wrinkles on his face compared to when he had first become Dao Companions with Zhao Xin.
However, his body was still healthy and strong.
As a result, he still looked like a handsome, dashing older man.
After walking a short distance...
A cute three-year-old girl ran over, hugged Xu Lei’s leg, and shouted, "Daddy."
Xu Lei scooped her up in his arms.
This little girl was another child Zhao Xin had secretly had with Xu Lei a few years ago.
Now that they were raising children, they had moved out of the Daoist Temple.
Instead, they had bought a worldly mountain villa and settled down.
As for Xu Lei and Zhao Xin’s son, he was now eight years old.
Furthermore, both their son and daughter had quite good talent for Cultivation.
Carrying his daughter into the courtyard, Xu Lei discovered that Chun Ying had come to visit again.
Chun Ying looked even older.
The decrepit air of old age that clung to her was much heavier than before.
"Her eyes and brows really do look a lot like yours, Hui Chi."
On this day, however, Chun Ying looked at Xu Lei and his daughter and said, "But why... do I get the feeling her eyes and brows don’t really resemble Jingchun?"
"They don’t?"
Xu Lei said, "I don’t think so.
Maybe it’s just that both children inherited more of their father’s features?
Many children do tend to look more like their fathers.
But both children are very good-looking, which they must have inherited from Jingchun."
Hearing Xu Lei’s explanation, Chun Ying smiled and nodded.
’It’s true, both children are very good-looking.’
’And Jingchun is very beautiful.’
’It does seem to make sense.’
Seeing Chun Ying’s smiling face, Xu Lei didn’t give it another thought, assuming he had completely dispelled her suspicions.
But unexpectedly, just half an hour later...
Xu Lei suddenly heard that Chun Ying had actually fainted and collapsed from anger.
It turned out that Chun Ying had gone to trick Jingchun!
And Jingchun, unable to withstand the ploy, had her secret exposed.
Chun Ying had never imagined that the grandson and granddaughter she had doted on for all these years were not Jingchun’s children at all.
The shock and anger overwhelmed her on the spot!
Of course, Jingchun did not reveal that the children’s mother was Zhao Xin.
Xu Lei could never have imagined that the well-intentioned lie they had maintained for ten years would be exposed in such a fashion!
The situation struck Xu Lei as somewhat absurd.
’But then again,’ he thought, ’sometimes life is just outrageous!’
’Back on Earth, hadn’t he seen his fair share of real news stories that were too outrageous to be believed?’
With things as they were...
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin naturally rushed over to check on Chun Ying’s condition.
Fortunately, Chun Ying’s life was not in danger.
However, the fact that she could get angry enough to faint was a clear sign that her physical condition was truly failing.
She probably didn’t have many years left to live.
At that moment, neither Xu Lei nor Zhao Xin knew what to say.
They could only accompany her in silence.
Jingchun, meanwhile, sat by the bed, her beautiful eyes glistening as she silently gazed at the white-haired, unconscious Chun Ying.
"Hui Chi!"
Suddenly, Jingchun turned, lifted her beautiful, pale face, and looked at Xu Lei with her lovely eyes. "I... I want to ask for your help.
When you perform Charitable Giving for me from now on...
Don’t use the Dual Cultivation method, like before.
Instead, do it as you would for an ordinary mortal woman.
Perform the Charitable Giving directly.
Can you do that?
I want you to get me pregnant.
And I want to get pregnant as soon as possible.
So, could I trouble you to perform Charitable Giving for me frequently and diligently for a while?
I want to have a child.
As soon as possible.
The sooner, the better.
However, I must make one thing clear to you. The only person in my heart has always been your Senior Brother Hui Lu.
Between us, this is just about having a child. Nothing more."
