Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li leisurely wandered through the majestic mountains, strolling along forested paths, admiring the mountain springs, crossing countless ravines, and finally sitting cross-legged atop a towering peak.

Here, Han Li would drink the morning dew and swallow the evening spring water, watching the clouds of various shapes and forms while a serene and contented expression emerged on his face.

Atop Chengdao Peak, muffled moans echoed from time to time, like fairies in high song, or like heavenly maidens playing symphonies. The sound would resonate loudly on this quiet mountain.

“Boom~”

Han Li’s combat ability was fully unleashed; at times, he would meditate quietly, at times he would engage in a fierce battle with his enemies, driving them into caverns, or swiftly traversing the void between peaks to silently watch the mountains and listen to the spring water.

“Husband~”

When Han Li was lying on the summit of Chengdao Peak watching the sunrise, a breathtakingly beautiful figure appeared, her belly large with child.

It was none other than Xue Yueqing, the Demon Emperor.

“Why are you here, Qing’er? These past few days you shouldn’t move recklessly.”

Han Li steadied her, pulling her into his embrace and gently caressed her belly, feeling the child inside Xue Yueqing.

Xue Yueqing was about to give birth, in the next few days, and Han Li was pondering what to name their first child.

A girl could be named Han Yongxue or Han Yongqing, but what about a boy?

When Xue Yueqing was pregnant, Han Li had only a Second Grade aptitude, and she, too, was of Second Grade aptitude. Their child was likely to be Second Grade, potentially First Grade, but Third Grade aptitude and special constitutions were much less likely.

Lying in Han Li’s arms, a smile broke across Xue Yueqing’s face as she spoke softly, “My husband need not worry, Qing’er knows.”

Her cultivation seal had already been lifted, and after nearly a year of dual cultivation, her cultivation had stabilized in the fourth layer of the Divine Yuan Realm. If it were not for the great amount of vital energy consumed by her pregnancy, Xue Yueqing felt she could have advanced further.

As a Demon Emperor, her movements, no matter how vigorous, would not affect the fetus inside her, unless she encountered a life-and-death battle, suffered an injury from a higher realm enemy, or…

Xue Yueqing extended a fair and delicate hand, also caressing her abdomen gently, a soft and happy smile spreading across her face.

Although she had been on Chengsheng Mountain for less than a year, Xue Yueqing felt it was far better than Myriad Demon Mountain—whether it was the atmosphere, the cultivation environment, or anything else.

Here on Chengsheng Mountain, she had no pressure to cultivate, and she didn’t have to worry about resources or opportunities because her husband would take care of preparing everything for her.

Here, when not cultivating, she could perform dual cultivation with her husband, admire the scenery with her sisters on Chengsheng Mountain, or chat about anything and everything with Bai Keqing, Long Yue, Lu Tianxiang, and discuss past and present without any constraints.

She didn’t have to act as the aloof and arrogant Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing; she could share her feelings with others, and seek Han Li’s guidance with any doubts. Her husband would patiently unravel her confusions.

Now, her child was about to be born.

As the birth of her child approached, Xue Yueqing’s heart grew steadier and more settled, allowing her to fully enjoy her current situation.

Even though she had been captured by her husband, he treated her exceedingly well. Even she, the Demon Emperor, could find no fault in him, which was why her sisters with similar experiences were so devoted to him.

In contrast, the Myriad Demon Mountain, represented by Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang, aside from an initial uproar with the Heavenly Demon Hall’s Demon Lord Dugu Weizun, had become quiet, almost as if they had forgotten about her and Yue Ji.

Regarding this, Xue Yueqing did not want to pass any judgment—it was what it was.

Han Li nodded slightly, quietly holding Xue Yueqing, the two of them enjoying this moment of tranquility on the mountain peak, occasionally whispering sweet nothings to each other, sharing tales and laughs, without any pretense of being high and cold.

Two days later, Xue Yueqing and Han Li’s first child was born.

When Han Li went to look, surprise flashed in his eyes—this child also possessed a special physique. Although it was clearly not as extraordinary as Han Yongqian, Han Li was still satisfied; it was an unexpected joy.

While caring for and staying with Xue Yueqing, Han Li was also distractedly checking the System notifications.

“You have sired your first Second Grade aptitude offspring. Your aptitude increases by five percent. You gain one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, the Heaven Rank medium-grade martial technique ‘Soul Crushing Hand,’ and the Heaven Rank supreme-grade Cultivation Technique ‘Shocking Xuan Heart Sutra.’”

“Ding~ As your offspring possesses the royal body ‘Tianhu King’s Body,’ you gain an aptitude feedback of 10 Physique Points.”

Seeing these two System notifications, Han Li hugged Xue Yueqing tightly and kissed her twice, making her mood skyrocket.

The husband’s joy was obviously due to the birth of their first child. His emphasis made Xue Yueqing’s initially anxious heart calm down instantly.

Han Li did not explain, continuing to talk with Xue Yueqing while pondering over the two System notifications.

The birth of this child only gave Han Li a five percent aptitude feedback, which he considered not too bad. Little by little, his aptitude had now increased to First Grade eighteen percent.

For his first Second Grade aptitude offspring, he was only rewarded with one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, the Heaven Rank medium-grade martial technique ‘Soul Crushing Hand,’ and the Heaven Rank supreme-grade Cultivation Technique ‘Shocking Xuan Heart Sutra,’ all of which Han Li had anticipated and was not disappointed by.

What excited him was that Xue Yueqing had borne him an offspring with a special physique, his second one possessing such a trait, increasing his Physique Points by 10 all at once.

Han Li felt fortunate that he hadn’t activated a royal body two months before, otherwise he would have only gained 1 Physique Point now. At that rate, accumulating five hundred or a thousand points would take aeons.
