Many descendants

The man looked up, revealing a handsome young face with sharp features.

I feel like I've seen this face somewhere before.

"I heard this place collects ancient books, is that right?" The man took out an oiled paper package from his pocket.

Wen Jin invited him in, "Yes, please come in. May I ask your name, sir? Are you from the Beast King Capital? I'll make a brief note of it. Rest assured, this record will be kept strictly confidential unless there are special circumstances."

“Yes. I am from the Beast King Capital. My surname is Rong, and my given name is Wu,” Rong Wu replied.

Wen Jin adjusted his glasses on his straight nose, paused slightly, and asked, "Rong Wu?"

He suddenly realized who he was.

Then look at Rong Wu's face. Although there are some differences between her and the one in the sea, they are still about 70 or 80 percent similar.

"Dad—I'm hungry!" Xiao Fengning called out again.

Wen Jin quickly apologized to Rong Wu, "I'm sorry, I need to go check on the child first. Please wait a moment, Young Master Rong."

"Um, is there anything to eat?" Rong Wu rubbed her rumbling stomach.

Wen Jin smiled and said, "I steamed a pot of buns, some sweet and some meat. What would you like, Young Master Rong?"

“Meat,” Rong Wu replied.

"Alright, please wait a moment, Young Master Rong." Wen Jin entered the backyard.

Xiao Fengning was doing his homework, while the trash can next to his desk was already filled with a lot of food waste.

"It's getting late, Dad, aren't you closing the shop yet?"

"A guest just arrived. Dad's got you some steamed buns for now. I'll make you something nicer later, okay?"

"Yes, Father, may I go to the palace tomorrow?"

“Sure, Father has some business to attend to. You can stay at the palace for the next couple of days.”

"Great! I can play with Sister Xiaoqi and the others now."

"You must follow the rules in the palace, understand? Don't cause trouble for your mother."

"My son knows."

Wen Jin carried two plates of steamed buns, put one plate down for Xiao Fengning, and then took the other plate into the shop.

"Thank you, boss." Rong Wu picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite without waiting.

With oily filling and a fragrant aroma, I couldn't help but praise, "Boss, these buns are truly authentic."

"Eat more if you like it," Wen Jin said with a smile.

Rong Wu handed the oiled paper package to Wen Jin, saying, "Boss, please take a look."

Wen Jin first put on a pair of gloves before opening the oiled paper package... Inside was a tattered copy of a book.

Since they are ancient books, it is rare to find one that is completely intact.

Wen Jin carefully examined the characters on the tattered manuscript; they were from ancient times, or even earlier.

The text above describes a lost divine magic formation—the Taiyi Subduing Demon Four Gods Formation.

These four gods are the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, four top auspicious divine beasts, which, together with the Taiyi Formation, are used to subdue the Primordial Demon.

Unfortunately, it's an incomplete copy; half of the Taiyi Formation is missing. However, even an incomplete Taiyi Formation possesses considerable power.

"Where did Young Master Rong obtain this book?"

"Do you recognize the words on this?"

“Part of it,” Wen Jin replied. “It’s a travelogue, about what a person named Yi Tai saw and heard a long, long time ago. The array diagrams in it are quite interesting, but unfortunately they are incomplete.”

"Oh. I found this in a dilapidated temple on the Dark Continent. The temple collapsed after I took this book."

"I see. There are indeed some ancient civilizations on the Dark Continent." Wen Jin closed the ancient book. "Does Young Master Rong intend to sell this book?"

"Ah."

"I'm personally quite interested in this ancient book. How much are you planning to sell it for, Young Master Rong?"

"I don't really know either, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

"How about 50 high-grade crystal coins?" Wen Jin said, offering a price.

Rong Wu thought for a moment, "I brought this back from the temple of the Dark Continent, boss, please give me a little more."

"60 high-grade crystal coins, that's the most I can do."

"200 high-grade crystal coins are basically just for travel expenses."

Wen Jin hesitated for a moment before saying, "...Alright, the Dark Continent is indeed quite dangerous, so I'll grant Young Master Rong 200 high-grade crystal coins."

Rong Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, boss. May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Wen." Wen Jin took out 200 high-grade crystal coins, put them in an exquisite wooden box, and said, "Please allow me to take a look, young master."

"No need. Do you have a bag? The box is inconvenient to carry."

"Please wait a moment, Young Master Rong." Wen Jin took out a storage bag. "This is an old storage bag I used to store books. It has not been claimed by any owner. I am giving it to you, Young Master Rong."

"Thank you." Rong Wu didn't stand on ceremony and put all the crystal coins into her storage bag.

Then I ate another steamed bun, put on a straw hat, and went outside into the drizzling rain.

Wen Jin looked at Rong Wu's figure... and then thought of Rong Ruo, whom she had seen by the sea, "Divided in two, even fate was divided into two kinds."

……

Su Yan looked up at the edge of the starry sky, where bursts of lightning and thunder roared, and the terrifying roars of beasts mixed in with the thunder were particularly frightening.

"Huanhuan, can Yuhao really kill Qiongqi? I heard Wen Jin say that Qiongqi is very powerful." Su Yan asked Qing Linghuan, who had already returned from the God Realm.

Qing Linghuan was gazing fondly at the little baby nestled in his palm. "There's definitely danger, but after all, Yu Hao once defeated Qiongqi."

"Hmm." If all else fails, there's always Wen Jin's assurance.

Although she didn't know what he would do or what conditions he would propose to her in the future, she just wanted Yuhao to live.

“Yu Hao said he wants to take Xiao Bei’er to the Su residence in the God Realm to raise her, and I think that’s not a bad idea. The Su residence has an isolation array, and you also have a substitute talisman to protect her at all times,” Qing Linghuan said.

"Oh?" Su Yan laughed. "Didn't you really want to take Xiao Bei'er away? How come you agree to give Xiao Bei'er to Yu Hao now?"

"To be honest, I'm taking Little Fourteen and Little Fifteen back to Tianhu Mountain. He happens to be nearby, so I'll go check on this little guy whenever I have some free time."

Despite the scrambling and demands, everyone was simply expressing their willingness to protect and cherish this vulnerable little one. With its own parents refusing to give up, how could it possibly be their turn?

Moreover, Yu Hao might not be a bad father. You can tell from how hard he works to feed Su Yan that he is also very responsible.

“If Yu Hao doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do. After all, he has primary guardianship. However, when they’re older, they’ll have to go down to the mortal realm to take the monthly exams anyway,” Su Yan said with a smile.

"That's right! We must let Yu Hao taste what the monthly exam is like!" Qing Linghuan probably thought of the infuriating scene from the past and smiled maliciously.

Now he no longer objectes to his two children taking Su Yan's monthly exams, mainly because the two children also like it.

Su Yan looked at his sinister smile: "..."

Are monthly exams really that scary?

"By the way, there's something I need to trouble you and Wen Jin with. Little Seventeen's divine essence was sealed by the Beast God. I want you and Wen Jin to work together: one of you uses the power of the Primordial Demon to destroy the seal, and the other of you reseal it. I don't want him to ascend to the God Realm yet."

“Sure. Wen Jin is at the bookstore right now, I’ll call him over.” With that, Qing Linghuan teleported away.

Su Yan opened her mouth to ask him to leave Xiao Bei'er behind, but the person had already disappeared...

For Wen Jin, it was a simple favor, but it would earn him a favor from Zi Qi, so he was happy to help.

Little Seventeen came skipping and hopping, and was immediately startled to see several adults waiting for him.

She hurriedly said, "Mother, Father, Uncle Wen, Uncle Qing... I didn't mean to steal my older brothers and sisters' snacks. I won't do it again."

Su Yan was stunned upon hearing this.

Zi Qi was speechless, then said solemnly, "Good that you know, now hurry up and come over!"
