Chapter 277: Uncle Xie Qing and Fang Lan's request.

As expected, Huang Bing looked very much like her father. With the same black hair and yellow eyes, she perfectly fit the description of the Huang family.

Xie Qing smiled and knelt down so that his eye level was even with the child. He took out three spatial rings and gently asked, "Will you hold out your hand?"

"Ah?"

The child let out a surprised gasp, seeming to understand Xie Qing's words. Huang Bing looked at her mother, who nodded with a gentle smile. Only then did the little girl extend her hand.

Xie Qing chuckled at this cute sight and placed in her hand three high-quality spatial rings, each worth 70,000 Spiritual Stones.

"Brother Xie, this is too much…" Huang Jing hesitated.

Huang Jing was embarrassed when he saw the spatial rings. As a businessman, how could he not know about these rings? Even he only had one. And here, the young man was giving away three.

"Stop it," Xie Qing replied and stood up, looking at Huang Bing, whose eyes sparkled when she saw the beautiful rings. The man smiled and patted her head, simultaneously answering his sworn brother: "In the first spatial ring, there are over a thousand spiritual items for different cultivation levels, from Enlightenment to Soul Integration.

In the second spatial ring, there are about five thousand spiritual plants of the Yin attribute that can help her. In the third spatial ring, there are 504,000 Spiritual Stones. This is her pocket money for the next twenty years."

"…"

"…"

Everyone fell silent. Even Fang Lan, who knew her man was preparing a gift, was speechless. Only Huang Bing, in her innocence, couldn't understand what was going on and was simply admiring the shiny rings while Xie Qing gently stroked her head.

Huang Jing even trembled. He looked as if he had seen the Buddha himself.

"Brother Xie, you are too generous…" he finally blurted out and clutched his chest, saying with a bitter smile, "I will owe you forever."

"Thank you very much… sir!" Zhao Yu tried to bow, but Xie Qing stopped her. So, she simply bowed her head: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"No need for formalities!" Xie Qing waved his hands tiredly, seeing their excitement. He looked at Huang Bing and laughed: "See? It's better to react like her."

Huang Jing looked at his daughter and pursed his lips. She looked so happy and content that now it was impossible to refuse the gift.

"Hahaha…"

Xie Qing laughed heartily, and Fang Lan sighed heavily, but in her eyes directed at the man, there was an unconcealed question. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"When can I have your child?"

"Thank you for visiting, Brother Xie! I raise this glass to you!"

Huang Jing started the dinner with a glass of wine. Xie Qing raised his glass and smiled.

Except for Zhao Yu, they all drank wine and began to feast. The main dinner consisted of meat, expensive fruits and vegetables, as well as delicacies like crabs and lobsters, which were, of course, spiritual creatures.

"Aauu… auuu…"

"Hehe, you can't have that. Your tummy will hurt," Xie Qing laughed, watching as Huang Bing, sitting on his lap, tried to reach for the glass of wine. Fang Lan put the glass aside.

"Auu!"

"Now, now, don't be angry. Do you want Uncle to make you some apple puree? It's very tasty."

"Auu! Auu!"

"As you wish. Fang Lan, pass the apples."

"Alright…"

Huang Jing smiled, watching the caring Xie Qing who was immersed in his role as an uncle, and Fang Lan, who was helping him, looking very much like a wife. Even Zhao Yu couldn't hide her gentle smile.

Today was quite unexpected for Huang Jing, and despite the slight shock from Xie Qing's gifts, he was very happy to have introduced his sworn brother to his family.

"He will be a good father, don't you think?" Zhao Yu whispered with a giggle.

"Yes, definitely… although this guy said he wouldn't be much of a father…" Huang Jing laughed heartily.

They watched as Xie Qing carefully fed Huang Bing the apple puree he had prepared himself. The scene of him slowly feeding her and wiping her mouth with a napkin was so cute that Fang Lan couldn't look away.

Today, they learned a new fact.

Xie Qing was a good uncle.

"Aguu! Aguuu!"

"Shh, shh… Uncle will come again. No need to be upset, okay?"

"Aguu…"

"Good girl. Next time, I'll bring you more pretty rings. Deal?"

"Agu!"

"Of course! I swear by the Heavens!"

Xie Qing waved goodbye and, getting into the carriage, set off. Huang Jing and Zhao Yu watched them until the carriage disappeared into the clouds.

"Your brother is very unique, but a good person, husband," Zhao Yu said with a smile and looked at Huang Bing in her arms, who looked sad: "Hahaha… just look at her. Are you sad because Uncle left?"

"Agu!" Huang Bing nodded.

"Hahaha!"

Xie Qing broke into a sweat when he noticed Fang Lan's predatory gaze. He had been trying to ignore it since they left the estate, but it was still difficult.

So, he sighed and raised his hands as if in surrender.

"I give up. I really did change my mind, so I agreed to the Master's request…"

"Hm. No wonder she's been in such a good mood lately," Fang Lan crossed her arms and snorted, asking, "So, how's it going? Any progress?"

"Not yet. Because of the high level of cultivation, it's very difficult to get pregnant unless someone invents a pill for it," Xie Qing sighed in response: "And there aren't any such pills yet."

"Then…" the woman leaned forward and touched Xie Qing's cheek, asking in a seductive voice: "Can you make me pregnant?"

"Ugh…"

Xie Qing sighed heavily. He knew that the moment it was discovered he was ready to be a father, there would be a struggle among his women.

"I know you are destined for greatness. You will be number one in all fields, but I want to have your child. I can't keep up with you, but…" Fang Lan trembled and gently touched Xie Qing's cheek: "I will at least have a part of you. That will be… enough for me."

"…"

Xie Qing fell silent. This was a sore subject for him. He was going to become immortal, but alas, not all women could follow him. This path required not only talent but also time. Who knows if they could reach such a high level as Xie Qing in a short time?

So, it was no wonder they wanted to get pregnant by him. It would be proof that these girls had participated in his life and left a trace.

Xie Qing grabbed Fang Lan and placed her on his lap, then embraced her. The woman said nothing and leaned against his chest, crying softly.

The man looked out the window and smiled bitterly. Perhaps this was his punishment.

"Oh? Where is this?"

Fang Lan and Xie Qing jumped out of the carriage, landing on a high mountain. From this spot, there was a beautiful view.

"During one of my journeys, I noticed this place. It has clean air, high Qi concentration, and a pleasant environment," Xie Qing replied, scratching the back of his head, continuing: "And I plan to move here."

"Seriously? You didn't like such secluded places before," Fang Lan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Yes, but that was before. Now I want peace and tranquility."

Xie Qing smiled bitterly. After seeing Fang Lan's tears, he felt guilty, so he decided to lighten the mood a bit.

"And… Lan. It's not that I don't want you to be the mother of my child. On the contrary, it would be an honor for me…" Xie Qing began, immediately capturing the girl's attention, who listened intently to his words: "I just think that leaving a pregnant woman to raise my child alone… that goes against my principles. So, it's difficult for me to make that choice."

Fang Lan nodded understandingly. However, she then replied, "But I don't mind. Do you know how many girls dream of having your child? And I am one of them. I just want proof of our love to exist, do you understand?" Fang Lan said, moving closer to Xie Qing. She embraced him and, standing on her tiptoes, kissed him on the lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.

After a passionate kiss, they pulled away, and the girl sighed: "And I will wait for you to return."

"You… uhh…"

Xie Qing smiled bitterly, gently caressing her face and kissing her forehead. He said, "Alright."

Hearing Xie Qing's positive response, a wide smile appeared on Fang Lan's face, and she jumped into his arms, clinging to him like a koala.

"Thank you so much," she murmured, burying her nose in his neck. "I will always love you."

"And I will always love you," Xie Qing smiled, gently stroking her back. "And I won't abandon you. Let the Heavens remember this oath."
