Chapter 460 - Helping Out

The flying demon beast quickly landed on the garden of the residence. Turen and Harmalia then came down as they looked around their surroundings with curious eyes. They had never gone further than the closest city of the Varen Tribe, Astreg. But right now, not only did they leave the country in one go, but they were also brought to the Imperial Capital.

They still hadn't taken everything in. After all, their knowledge about the Empire was basically nil. That showed just how isolated the Varen Tribe was. Even Jury only knew about their Empire's name. He had no idea how to get there. Sure enough, Jury also came together as the representative of their Varen Tribe. Alanda then stayed behind to act as the interim head of the tribe.

The twins then came forward to see them.

"Mom, dad, you finally arrived."

Harmalia's eyes lit up as she spotted her kids.

"Rean, Roan!"

They could see her holding their little sister in her arms, who had grown quite a bit in the past year or so. Harmalia then put Rana down and quickly hugged the two. 

"Why do I have to always wait a few years every time to see you two? You should come and visit us more often, not the other way around."

Rean smiled as he apologized.

"Sorry, mom. But look, I got to bring you to the capital of the Empire, didn't I? I even got you a daughter-in-law who's a princess."

Roan snorted after hearing that but didn't comment. He knew better than anyone else how much Rean didn't want that to happen.

"What, you have a problem?"

"Nope. I hope you two will be happy for life and that your mutual love grows even bigger."

Rean's mouth twitched, but he didn't talk back.

Turen then put his hand on Rean's shoulders before asking.

"So, tell me. Is it true that you impregnated a princess?"

Rean almost vomited blood. He had already forgotten about that rumor after the exam.

"Ahem... Don't worry, that's all just a misunderstanding. Qia is not pregnant at all."

Harmalia narrowed her eyes as she said.

"Explain everything. Don't hide anything from us. What the hell happened?"

Rean could only repeat the same excuse as always, pretending that they were really in love with each other and all that. Roan enjoyed seeing Rean doing that since he knew that Rean didn't want to do it.

"I see. To be honest, your mother still doesn't know very well what it means to marry a princess of the Empire."

Turen agreed with her as he added.

"We only began to get an idea after we entered this city and got to fly on that demon beast. Is the Empire really that powerful? How much stronger is it than Jialin?"

Rean laughed out loud in response. But just as he was about to answer, a little hand grabbed his and Roan's clothes. They looked down and saw the little girl looking at them with curious eyes. 

Rean couldn't help but get down to take Rana in his arms... or so he tried. Unfortunately, Roan was faster.

"Don't get close to her. Those who impregnate women before marriage are not good examples."

Roan then looked at the little girl with a faint smile before saying.

"Rana, your brother is a playboy. Make sure you never get close to him."

Rean's eyes went dark.

"Are you looking for a fight?"

Roan snorted as he said.

"You? Can you even do something to me?"

"You might be stronger, but my recovery is faster than yours."

"It will also make you use more energy."

"It's enough as long as I give you a good beating."

"You can try."

Rean then grabbed Roan's robe as he shouted.

"Let me hold her a little!"

Roan didn't give up, though.

"In your dreams!"

Suddenly...

*Pah! Pah!*

Turen slapped the heads of the twins.

"What kind of example are you showing to her?"

*giggle*

It was then that they heard a faint laugh coming from the little girl who watched the twins' argument. The two then looked at Rana and couldn't help but smile.

Harmalia was especially surprised since, as their mother, she knew how difficult it was to make Roan smile. The number of times it happened could probably be counted on two hands.

"Well, she seems to like you two even though she hasn't seen you since you left the tribe last time. She is almost two years old, you know?"

Rean and Roan nodded. Soon after, Rean's hand lit up as Light Element gathered on his finger. Roan knew what he was going to do, so he did the same thing. However, his finger had the Dark Element.

They touched the little girl's head, and soon, she fell asleep. Well, it was better to say that she was knocked out.

"What did you do?"

Harmalia became a bit concerned. However, Turen quickly held her back.

"Don't worry, they are her brothers."

Harmalia looked at Turen's smile and calmed down.

Roan then fed a pill to Rana before the twins worked together to clean all her meridians. Roan's Dark Element destroyed any impurity that might be there, while Rean made sure to protect them. If they found any path that didn't seem good, Roan destroyed it, and Rean healed it right after while making sure to achieve the correct form.

This was basically the same effect that Roan infused in his pills. However, with Rean and Roan controlling the Light Element and Dark Elements, it worked several times better. The pill's medicinal liquid was quickly used with the Light Element to achieve the best possible recovery.

Of course, Rana was still two years old and hadn't cultivated yet. Because of that, her meridian paths were still closed. Only after she had gone through the Body Transformation would she finally start to open the channels. Nonetheless, with the twins' help, she would definitely have a much easier time doing so.

As one could imagine, they made her fall to sleep because the Dark Element stung a lot. They didn't want Rana to experience that.
