Chapter 349: I Want to Bring More Love to This World

Zihua Residential Area, Tianyue City.

Unlike the Jun’an Residential Area, the people living here were either wealthy or influential. In one of the spacious apartments, Wu Qi was wearing a white bathrobe, her brow furrowed.

"Xiaoqi, why be so proud? That’s a... legendary cultivation sect.

"Although it's a small sect, for those of us on Gongxing, aren’t they all true divine courts? My cousin used to be just an ordinary girl working as a server in a milk tea shop, earning 3,000 yuan a month.

"But now, after being found to have a cultivation talent and joining the Hunsha Sect, her name was given its own page in the village genealogy. Do you understand what that means?

"To put it bluntly, you used to be a star with some status and fame, but compared to these cultivators, weren't you just an entertainer? Now that you have talent, why not join the Hunsha Sect? Even if it's just as an outer disciple, it’s not something everyone can get into.

"Once you join, my cousin can help you, and you’ll have a limitless future under her guidance..."

The manager’s voice was incessant, never-ending.

Wu Qi found it headache-inducing.

The Hunsha Sect was a small sect, with only one Golden Core elder in the inner sect. It recruited disciples from various places in Qinyuan, and had a bit of a reputation. Many with talents that didn’t qualify them for major sects like the Tianxuan Sect would choose to join mid-sized sects like the Hunsha Sect. But even for these smaller sects, not just anyone could get in.

Wu Qi’s talent wasn’t high, but it met the minimum requirement. Combined with the fact that this manager’s cousin had become an official disciple of the Hunsha Sect, the manager wanted Wu Qi to join and become her cousin’s follower.

"Liu Jie, my situation is more complicated. I don’t want to force this," Wu Qi said firmly.

"Xiaoqi, I know you’re still thinking about that Mr. Qi.

"You want to climb into his bed and become a noblewoman.

"But times have changed. You need to be an independent and strong woman. If you join the Hunsha Sect, you’ll be nobility! That Qi Yuan, at most, is a count. In the eyes of cultivators, what’s the difference between him and a large ant?" The manager advised earnestly.

"Back then, you were a small-time celebrity, so it made sense to crave his power.

"But now... times have changed!

"He’s just one of the masses now. Don’t waste your youth on him!"

Wu Qi was speechless. She couldn’t reveal Qi Yuan's true identity.

At this moment, a famous quote came to her mind, and she said, "In the past, I was a frog at the bottom of the well, seeing Mr. Qi as the sun and moon. Now that the immortal path has revived, I see Qi Yuan as a mayfly seeing the vast sky."

"What has he done to bewitch you like this?" The manager's voice was filled with disappointment.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

"I have a visitor. I’m hanging up now!" Wu Qi quickly hung up, feeling puzzled as to who could be visiting her so late at night.

Could it be a close friend?

Thinking this, she walked to the door and looked through the peephole.

Seeing the face on the other side, Wu Qi’s expression immediately filled with joy.

"Mr. Qi!"

Standing outside was none other than Mr. Qi.

He had actually returned.

But... why was he here to see her?

Without any hesitation, Wu Qi opened the door, her expression full of delight. "Mr. Qi, what brings you here?"

As a cool breeze passed by, making her shoulders feel a bit chilly, she suddenly realized she was only wearing a bathrobe. Her face turned red instantly.

"My hearing is pretty good. Hmm, just now, the wind carried some voices saying you wanted to get into my bed..."

"Ah? She was just talking nonsense, that’s not true!" Wu Qi quickly explained.

At that moment, she felt incredibly nervous, her heart pounding as if the world was becoming a bit hazy.

"Hmm, it’s good if it’s a misunderstanding. I’m a married man." Qi Yuan sat down inside the house, finally getting to the point. "I came here because I need a drop of your blood."

"A drop of blood?" Wu Qi was startled, not clearly understanding what Qi Yuan meant.

If this had been when they first met on the cruise, Wu Qi might have hesitated slightly, then willingly offered herself to get close to Qi Yuan.

But now, she didn’t dare.

"Hey, pay more attention. I said a drop of blood.

"Do you remember when I first rode in your car? We agreed, your blood belongs to me."

Qi Yuan needed a drop of Wu Qi’s blood as a medium to store a Nascent Soul.

Wu Qi finally understood, the misunderstanding resolved, and she felt embarrassed enough to dig her toes into the floor.

"Mr. Qi, please take it," Wu Qi said, extending her finger.

She was curious about what Qi Yuan wanted with her blood.

But since she had already placed her bets on Qi Yuan, no matter what, she would comply.

Her delicate finger stretched out, and a flash of red light appeared in Qi Yuan’s eyes.

A thin line cut across Wu Qi’s finger, and a drop of blood fell, landing in Qi Yuan’s palm.

Qi Yuan’s hand seemed to have a hole in it.

The drop of blood seeped in.

At that moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

He was sensing which Nascent Soul was destined for Wu Qi.

After about ten seconds, Qi Yuan opened his eyes.

Wu Qi stood quietly by his side, puzzled.

"Remember when I said I’d send you a grandmother?

"Well, this time, I’m sending you... five grandmothers."

"Huh?" Wu Qi blinked in confusion.

"They are the Four Heavenly Kings: Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Virūḍhaka, Virūpākṣa, and Vaiśravaṇa.

"And one more, Yueliao. Surprisingly, these underdeveloped twins need to be separated."

Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

The Four Heavenly Kings were his earliest forces from Qingshui Village, with Dhṛtarāṣṭra being Wang Wenqi, the granddaughter of the Tianbao Venerable.

"It seems I need to send grandfathers and grandmothers to the people of Gongxing, so they can feel the warmth of family."

Qi Yuan made up his mind, and a plan began to form in his mind. "Ning Tao, after you finish your cake, take me to the capital. I want to meet the Seventh Prince."

"Okay." Ning Tao quickly agreed.

"Take your time, don’t choke, there’s no rush." Qi Yuan looked at Ning Tao with a doting expression.

...

In the royal palace.

The Seventh Prince stood tall in his royal attire, looking refined and courteous.

Standing before him was a bearded elder.

This elder was from the Tianyuan Sect, a senior elder.

The Tianyuan Sect, originating from the Fire Spirit Realm, was more powerful than both the Dou Shen Sect and the Xuantian Sect.

It was the true overlord of the Fire Spirit Realm.

According to legend, the founding ancestor of the Tianyuan Sect, in his youth, found a mysterious stone.

This stone could avert disaster and predict fortune and misfortune.

With this stone, the Tianyuan Sect ancestor advanced smoothly in the cultivation world, eventually reaching the Yinshen stage and ascending to the higher realm.

The stone could not be taken to the higher realm and was left in the Tianyuan Sect.

When the passage between the Fire Spirit Realm and Gongxing opened, this stone played a crucial role.

The Tianyuan Sect specialized in divining the secrets of the heavens.

"Seventh Prince, the Tianyuan Sect wishes to establish the Dou Zhuan Tianyuan Formation with no ill intent," the elder said with a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Elder Wang, I trust the Tianyuan Sect’s good intentions.

"But setting up the Dou Zhuan Tianyuan Formation all over the world... our royal family cannot make that decision.

"The Seven Martial Stars families are not of one mind, so we cannot agree to such a request.

"Besides, Qinyuan and the Ancient Wu Kingdom have always been rivals. Even if we agreed, they would refuse.

"If they agreed, we would oppose it."

The Seventh Prince’s words clearly indicated a firm refusal.

After all, establishing the Dou Zhuan Tianyuan Formation across the globe was akin to setting up military bases in various countries.

Although the Tianyuan Sect claimed the formation was only for observing heavenly secrets and divining the stars, how could they believe that? What if it was part of a grand array, set to seize control?

Hearing this, Wang Kaixiang's face darkened. "Seventh Prince, the Tianyuan Sect has no selfish motives.

"Our Tianyuan Sect's treasured Tianyuan Stone has predicted that within a thousand years, this world will undergo significant changes, possibly even affecting the Fire Spirit Realm.

"That’s why we are making early preparations, setting up the formation to face the great calamity!"

Wang Kaixiang's words were sincere.

What he spoke of was indeed what the Tianyuan Stone had revealed.

That’s why he was so eager to establish the Dou Zhuan Tianyuan Formation to prepare for the crisis.

But on Gongxing, the most powerful countries were Qinyuan and the Ancient Wu Kingdom. Without convincing these two countries, the formation could not be established.

"A thousand years is too far off," the Seventh Prince said, shaking his head, then added apologetically, "I’m sorry, Elder Wang."

At that moment, a uniformed man hurriedly entered.

Seeing him, the Seventh Prince's expression changed. After hearing what he said, his face lit up with excitement.

"Mr. Qi has arrived? Why didn’t you bring him here right away?

"No, I’ll go personally to greet him in the main hall!"

After speaking, the Seventh Prince, in his eagerness, seemed to forget about Wang Kaixiang, hurrying out of the hall.

Left in the hall, Wang Kaixiang looked on in puzzlement.

"Mr. Qi? Is he a cultivator?"

He had met the Seventh Prince several times, who had always shown respect to cultivators.

But he had never seen the prince lose his composure like this.

Moreover, the Seventh Prince had met him only in a side hall.

Meetings between the Ten Nascent Souls and the leaders of the Seven Martial Stars families also took place in the side hall.

Even a Nascent Soul ancestor visiting the royal family wouldn’t qualify for a meeting in the main hall.

Yet this Mr. Qi... was going to the main hall.

"Are there any Nascent Soul ancestors with the surname Qi in our three realms?" Wang Kaixiang wondered, perplexed.

He decided not to leave.

He would wait and secretly observe this so-called Mr. Qi to see what kind of divine being he was.

Meanwhile, outside the royal hall, the Seventh Prince hurriedly ran, his eyes filled with delight.

"Mr. Qi, sorry to keep you waiting."

Seeing Qi Yuan, he acted as if he was meeting a deity.

Especially with the peerless beauty that Qi Yuan held close, who was terrifying in her own right.

Most importantly, he had learned that Qi Yuan had married two wives.

His admiration for Qi Yuan grew even deeper.

Even a terrifying figure like Ning Tao, who easily obliterated the Eye of the Sky, was willing to serve Qi Yuan.

"It’s fine. I came here because I need your help with something," Qi Yuan got straight to the point.

"Oh? Please, tell me, Mr. Qi. The royal family is your most loyal servant, always at your service!" The Seventh Prince said earnestly.

"I want to bring more love to this world."

"Hmm?"

"I want to send grandfathers and grandmothers to some people in this world."
