Many descendants

Su Yan bowed to all the guests.

"If it weren't for the support of all of you gentlemen here today, my husband's soul might not have been returned so easily. If he were to come back to life, he would surely come to thank you all. Even if he doesn't, I, Su Yan, will do my best to avenge my husband without implicating the innocent. Thank you all, I, Su Yan, am deeply grateful."

"Old Zhu, if you don't want such a good daughter-in-law, I'll have my son marry her off with a grand wedding procession!" someone shouted at Zhu Min.

Zhu Min replied, "It's also my fault for being too focused on cultivation. From today onwards, I will resume my command of the Qilin Academy. Please treat today's events as a joke. Fortunately, my son's soul is still intact, so there is still hope for a turnaround. Please be understanding and give me, Old Zhu, and the Qilin Academy a chance."

These words were not only addressed to the guests, but also to Su Yan. He explained that he had been cultivating all these years and was unaware of many things. He hoped she would give him a chance to make amends.

As long as Zhu Sanlang can be resurrected, Su Yan doesn't want to be enemies with the Qilin Academy.

But if Zhu Sanlang doesn't survive, that would be a different story.

……

The engagement banquet ended abruptly due to Su Yan's outburst.

The Azure Phoenix Clan immediately sent people back the betrothal gifts from the Qilin Academy, clearly indicating that they did not want to form a marriage alliance.

Su Yan settled down at Qilin Courtyard.

She wholeheartedly agreed with a saying by Madam Ji: "To nip the weeds in the bud, you must pull them out by the roots." She remained in the Qilin Courtyard to find an opportunity to kill the mother and son.

Zhu Qihong is now severely injured, so we should take his life while he recovers.

Especially Ji Shi; the way she looked at her was as if she wanted to grind her bones to dust. This kind of hidden danger absolutely cannot be allowed to remain.

"I implore Miss Su to show mercy. After all, she and her son are my wife and children, and Madam Ji is from the White Tiger Clan. If we harm her, it may bring trouble to Miss Su as well," Zhu Min pleaded on behalf of Madam Ji and Zhu Qihong.

Su Yan ate the spiritual fruit. There were guests from the White Tiger Clan at the engagement banquet, but they never showed their faces. "As long as Sanlang's soul is alright, this matter can be discussed."

Zhu Min nodded. "Hmm, what about Sanlang's beast form?"

"I will resurrect him myself. The rest has nothing to do with your Qilin Academy." Zhu Sanlang's last letter contained resentment and hatred towards the Qilin Academy, but he eventually let it all go. At the moment of his death, his eyes were only on her, nothing else.

"I will take him away."

"No!" Zhu Min immediately said, "I have already taken back Zhu Qihong's position as the young master and will appoint Sanlang as the new young master of the Qilin Academy."

Su Yan was taken aback. "You...you want to make him your successor?"

“I agree to this as well.” Zhu Yin strode into the living room, smiling as he looked at Su Yan and her round belly.

"To be precise, it is the child in your womb. He is a direct descendant of the Qilin Academy, and we will never allow him to be left to wander outside."

“Zhu Sanlang has been wandering around for quite some time.” Su Yan finished the spiritual fruit in her hand, took another one from the fruit plate, and continued eating. “Also, this child is mine. I didn’t agree to him returning to his ancestral home.”

"You won't get Zhu Sanlang's soul back either." Zhu Yin's expression remained unchanged, but his words were full of threat.

Su Yan chuckled lightly, "How about we each take a step back? I want the Ji family and Zhu Qihong dead! The child in my belly will bear the surname Zhu and follow his father. Wherever his father is, that's where he will be."

“It’s a deal,” Zhu Yin replied.

Zhu Min wanted to say something, but since Zhu Yin had already spoken, he moved his lips but held back.

"Give me Sanlang's soul." Su Yan reached out her hand.

Zhu Yin said, "Zhu Sanlang's soul is very weak and partially damaged. I will use the Linglong Lamp to help him nourish his soul. It will take at least six months and at most three years to fully repair it."

[Xiaomei, is what he said true?]

[It's true. But Zhu Sanlang's incomplete soul isn't a problem. The system shop has Soul Repair Pills; for just 10,000 points, the host can repair him completely within five minutes.]

“No need to raise him anymore, just give me his soul,” Su Yan said to Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at her. "You can repair his soul?"

“Okay,” Su Yan replied.

Zhu Yin paused for a moment before taking out a seven-colored glass lamp from his divine domain space and handing it to Su Yan, saying, "This is the Linglong Lamp, which I'm giving to you as well."

"Thank you." Su Yan accepted the gift without ceremony. "Then I'll go back to my room first. You'll be able to see Sanlang in person soon. If he chooses to stay, I won't force him. If he chooses to leave, I hope you can respect his choice."

"Can't we really spare their lives?" Zhu Min ultimately thought of their past relationship.

Su Yan stood up from her chair and said to Zhu Min, "A viper stings the hand, a brave man cuts off his wrist. This is a good thing for the Qilin Academy."

Zhu Yin did not stop Su Yan from leaving.

Zhu Min continued to plead with Zhu Yin, "Ancestor, Ji Shi has done her part for Qilin Academy, even if she didn't make any great contributions. Can't you spare her life? I can divorce her, and I can sever my father-son relationship with Zhu Qihong."

"Ji Shi and Zhu Qihong, Zhu Sanlang and his unborn child, I choose Zhu Sanlang and his unborn child."

"But……"

"Do you know why your cultivation at the half-step divine realm hasn't improved at all after you recovered from your injuries all these years? You hesitated when you should have made a decision, and you were too distracted by other things. But you did do one thing right, which was to give birth to Zhu Sanlang, and Zhu Sanlang has this offspring."

"Uncle Tai means, that child?" Zhu Min finally realized.

"Although I have reached the mid-stage of the God rank, I have not been able to make any further progress in the past ten thousand years, and I may stop here as well."

"Why is that?" Zhu Min asked in surprise.

If we're talking about who in the Qilin Academy is most likely to enter the God Realm, it's only Zhu Yin! And in the entire Divine Mountain Prefecture, only Zhu Yin is at the mid-stage of the God Rank.

“Divinity!” Zhu Yin uttered the two words.

……

After returning to her room, Su Yan immediately took Zhu Sanlang's beast form out of her spatial storage.

"What a majestic and handsome beastly form!" Su Yan stroked Zhu Sanlang's dragon scales, filled with delight. [Xiao Mei, he's so handsome.]

Xiao Mei: [You're not the one who loves Fal's beast form the most? You'd even risk your life to have Fal mate with you in his beast form.]

[...] Even with Su Yan's thick skin, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. [His beast form is more beautiful than his human form, and he exudes a sinful desire to defile him! Being with him gives me the greatest sense of control. The others, including Sanlang, all ended up losing control and seeking defeat.]

[...So the host enjoys being with Far the most?]

[You can't say that. Actually, I enjoy it all. I won't mistreat myself. Okay, let's save him quickly.] Su Yan refused to discuss gender issues with Xiao Mei any further.

Su Yan took out the exquisite lamp and brought a wisp of golden spiritual mist inside close to Zhu Sanlang's beast body.

Soon, the golden mist seeped into the beast's nostrils, and its previously shriveled body gradually became plump and regained its vitality...
