Many descendants

"Alright, that's enough training for today. We should head to the academy now."

"Mother, that person looks like...?" Manman looked in Ming Linyuan's direction.

"Who is it?" Su Yan looked over.

Saw nothing.

Manman tilted her head, her little tuft of hair swaying as she spoke, "He's gone."

"Hmm." Su Yan didn't take it to heart; perhaps they were just guests at the hostel.

……

Su Yan brought Manman to the academy and used a gray crystal core to exchange for a teleportation array to the Tianyuan Beast Forest.

She had just left.

Ming Linyuan arrived shortly after.

He revealed his identity and the continental pass given to him by the Beast King, and learned where Su Yan had gone.

They didn't need a teleportation array at all; they teleported directly to the Tianyuan Beast Forest.

The teleportation array administrator wasn't surprised to see him leave without using the teleportation array.

This heir of the Ghost Phoenix Clan has recently entered the Spirit Realm.

The distance from the academy to the Heavenly Origin Beast Forest is just a matter of a thought for people of their level.

Su Yan led Manman as they wandered aimlessly through the Tianyuan Beast Forest.

Even the system map can't distinguish rare and precious materials; you can only find them by sight.

"I should have asked your father where the nine-petaled lotus grows," Su Yan said to Manman, who was perched on her shoulder.

Manman also wanted to eat it, "Mmm, let's find the nine-petaled lotus."

Su Yan suddenly stopped and looked at the map where a stranger had appeared.

After confirming that he was an orc and not a phantom beast, Su Yan walked towards him.

Ming Linyuan has changed his appearance again.

One of the talents of the Ghost Phoenix Clan is the ability to change form. Unless someone has a higher talent than him, no one can tell what his true form is.

This time, he transformed into an ordinary orc, hunting in the beast forest.

"Excuse me," Su Yan called out to him.

Ming Linyuan immediately stopped in his tracks. "Is there something you need?"

"I'd like to ask, are you familiar with the nine-petaled lotus?"

"Nine-petaled lotus... What do you want with it?" Ming Linyuan naturally knew what a nine-petaled lotus was. Considering that she might need rare and precious materials under certain circumstances, he glanced at her abdomen.

Upon closer inspection, whether it was his suspicion or not, she seemed to have gained a lot of weight, which didn't quite match her slender waist.

Is it...

Su Yan replied, "Someone in my family needs to recuperate. Do you know where they are?"

After saying that, Su Yan took out two low-grade crystal coins, "I won't ask for nothing."

Ming Linyuan did not accept the crystal coins, and replied, "I can take you there, it's a bit far from here."

"It's alright, I came here to find it. If I can find it, I don't care how far it is."

"Then come with me." Ming Linyuan was certain; she was probably pregnant again.

Is it his?

Her gaze fell on Manman, who was crouching on her shoulder; she looked exactly like Xiao Zhenzhen.

Manman looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt, "Father, why has your face changed again?"

Su Yan looked at Manman after hearing his words: "..."

Ming Linyuan panicked, his face showing shock. "How...how can she speak?"

"Stop pretending." Su Yan had no doubt about Manman's intuition about blood relatives, and children don't lie.

Ming Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry."

"You didn't wrong me, you wronged Manman." Xiaomei had cleared away those feelings of love, hate, and resentment. At this moment, she was very calm, not swayed by emotions, and could only weigh the pros and cons.

"Manman?" Ming Linyuan looked at the little phoenix that was still curiously staring at him.

Su Yan took two steps closer to him.

When Ming Linyuan saw her approaching him, his heart skipped a beat.

“Manman is Ming Yuzhen.”

Ming Linyuan was stunned.

It took him a while to react, "What did you say? Zhenzhen and Manman?"

Su Yan nodded, "Yes."

Immediately, Ming Linyuan's gaze towards Manman turned one of guilt, regret, and a touch of relief.

How did she get here?

"I have my own way. But I want to know, why did you leave Manman, who just hatched, alone in the room? Do you know what she went through?"

“I…suddenly advanced to the Spirit Realm at that time.” Ming Linyuan also hated himself. He would rather he remain at the Heaven Realm forever than lose his daughter.

Su Yan was somewhat surprised, "You've also entered the Spirit Realm?"

What's going on? Everyone who has ever had a relationship with her has leveled up!

No, Zulu... Thinking of Zulu, a dull, tingling pain flashed through my heart.

"I'd rather never advance in my cultivation level in my entire life." Ming Linyuan's upright shoulders suddenly became much looser and more vulnerable.

Su Yan felt a pang of guilt, but she still told him, "You did lose her once!"

After saying that, she grabbed his shoulder, leaned closer, and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips...

"Xiaomei, show him that video," Su Yan said to Xiaomei.

Sharing memories with others requires 100 points.

Services not directly related to the child are usually very expensive, but that's something he should know. [Hmm!]

Just as Ming Linyuan was about to respond to Su Yan's initiative, he unexpectedly experienced a series of unforgettable memories flashing through his mind...

That's his little Zhenzhen!

After the memories finished playing, Ming Linyuan looked completely different.

Shedding his disguise, he wore a silver hairpin and a phoenix crown, with imposing silver eyes. He was dressed in a black robe with silver phoenix patterns and intricate runes. His tall and strong figure was almost two heads taller than Su Yan.

"Galie Asbud Balru." The voice had a magnificent and noble quality, but the emotion it conveyed was one of wanting to skin the owner of this name alive and torture him to death!

"He probably knew you were advancing in rank and took the opportunity to enter the Phoenix Palace and steal Manman's talent soul pearl. For Manman, this is a painful experience she can never forget."

"I will retrieve Manman's Innate Soul Bead." Ming Linyuan lowered his head, feeling utterly ashamed.

Manman flew to his shoulder and gently pecked his hair. "Father, don't cry."

Su Yan looked at Manman in surprise upon hearing his words... He cried?!

A grayish-black mist suddenly emerged from Ming Linyuan's body, but it quickly dissipated.

He took Manman off his shoulder and handed her to Su Yan, saying, "Protect her. I no longer deserve her."

Su Yan remained silent.

Ming Linyuan's gaze fell on her stomach. "One last question, whose child is in your belly?"

Su Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "I only have one uterus, so I can't store sperm. This child is Zong Sili's."

“Zong Sili…I know him, he’s the youngest Spirit Realm expert on the Beast World Continent.”

"When he was with me, he was still at the Heavenly Rank."

"It seems she advanced after you. Our Yan Yan is very lucky for her husband." Ming Linyuan looked at Su Yan as if he wanted to imprint her into his bones. "If I don't come back, let Manman inherit the Ghost Phoenix Clan."

"What are you going to do?" Su Yan frowned. "Don't do anything foolish."
