Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li walked slowly among the lofty mountain ranges, observing the shady pathways, admiring the mountain springs, crossing thousands of ravines, and finally arrived at the towering peak where he sat down cross-legged.

Here, he drank the morning dew and the evening spring, enjoying the clouds in various shapes, a contented expression appearing on his face.

Atop Chengdao Peak, groans echoed from time to time, like a heavenly maiden singing or a fairy playing music, resounding clear and loud on this quiet mountain.

“Boom~”

Han Li’s combat ability was fully unleashed; at times he quietly stroked, at times he fought to the death with his foes, beating them into mountain caves, and sometimes he crossed the void, moving swiftly between peaks, calmly observing the high mountains and listening to the clear springs.

“Husband~”

When Han Li lay on the summit of Chengdao Peak watching the sunrise, a stunning figure appeared, with a large belly.

It was none other than the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.

“Why have you come here, Qing’er? You should not move about carelessly these past few days.”

Han Li supported her, drawing her into his arms and gently stroking her belly, feeling the child inside Xue Yueqing.

Xue Yueqing was about to give birth to her child, within these few days, and Han Li was pondering what to name their first child.

If it was a girl, the name could be Han Yongxue or Han Yongqing. But what if it was a boy?

When Xue Yueqing was pregnant, Han Li still had only Second Grade aptitude, and Xue Yueqing also had Second Grade aptitude, so the child was very likely to be of Second Grade as well, or possibly First Grade. As for Third Grade and a special physique, the chances were significantly lower.

Snuggling in Han Li’s embrace, Xue Yueqing showed a smile on her face and spoke gently, “Do not worry, husband. I am aware of it.”

Her cultivation had been unsealed long ago. After nearly a year of dual cultivation, her cultivation had stabilized at the fourth layer of the Divine Yuan Realm. If not for the pregnancy consuming a great deal of her vital energy, she felt she could have made a small advance.

Even as a Demon Emperor, her movements wouldn’t affect the fetus inside her, unless she encountered a life-and-death battle, was injured by a higher realm enemy, or unless…

Xue Yueqing extended a snow-white, delicate hand, too gently stroking her belly, a faintly content smile on her face.

Although she had been on Chengsheng Mountain for less than a year, Xue Yueqing felt it was much better than Myriad Demon Mountain, whether in terms of atmosphere, the environment for cultivation, or other aspects.

On Chengsheng Mountain, she was free from the pressure of cultivation and did not need to worry about resources and opportunities; her husband would arrange everything for her.

Here, when not cultivating, she could dual cultivate with her husband, admire the scenery of Chengsheng Mountain with some sisters, or have heart-to-heart talks with Bai Keqing, Long Yue, and Lu Tianxiang, discussing the past and present without any constraints.

She didn’t need to maintain the solitary and aloof demeanor of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing and could confide in others; for any doubts, she could seek answers from Han Li, who would patiently clarify them.

Now, her child was about to be born.

As the birth of the child approached, Xue Yueqing’s heart became steadier, completely at peace, enjoying the current situation.

Even though she had been captured by her husband, he treated her extremely well. Even she, the Demon Emperor, couldn’t find any faults, which is why her sisters with similar experiences remained utterly loyal to their husband.

In contrast, on Myriad Demon Mountain, the Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang, after initially creating havoc with the Demon Lord Dugu Weizun from Heavenly Demon Hall, made no further moves and seemed to have forgotten her and Yue Ji.

As for this, Xue Yueqing didn’t want to judge any further. Let it be.

Han Li nodded slightly, quietly holding Xue Yueqing in his arms, both enjoying this serene moment on the mountain peak, occasionally exchanging affectionate caresses and whispers; Han Li would tell some amusing stories, and Xue Yueqing didn’t pretend to be aloof, often covering her mouth with a light laugh.

Two days later, the first child of Xue Yueqing and Han Li was born.

When Han Li went inside to see the child, surprise flashed in his eyes—the child actually had a special physique, and while not quite as outstanding as Han Yongqian, Han Li was still satisfied, as this was an unexpected delight.

While taking care of and accompanying Xue Yueqing, Han Li was also distractedly checking the System prompts.

“You have a descendant with Second Grade aptitude, your aptitude is increased by five percent, you gain one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, you receive a Heaven Rank mid-grade martial skill [Soul Crush Hand], you receive a Heaven Rank Supreme cultivation technique [Shocking Profound Heart Sutra].”

“Ding~ Since the descendant possesses a royal body [Tianhu King’s Body], you receive aptitude feedback, gaining 10 Physique Points.”

Seeing these two System prompts, Han Li hugged Xue Yueqing tightly and kissed her fiercely twice, leaving her in an elated mood.

Surely her husband was so happy because their first child was born. His importance to the child instantly calmed Xue Yueqing’s previously anxious heart.

Han Li did not explain; he conversed with Xue Yueqing while looking at the two System prompts.

The birth of this child had granted Han Li a 5% aptitude feedback, and he deemed it not bad at all. Little by little, his current aptitude had improved to First Grade 18%.

The first Second Grade aptitude descendant only awarded him an additional 150 years of cultivation, and both the Heaven Rank mid-grade martial skill [Soul Crush Hand] and the Heaven Rank Supreme cultivation technique [Shocking Profound Heart Sutra] were within his expectations, not disappointing.

But what truly excited him was that Xue Yueqing had given birth to a descendant with a special physique. This was his second descendant with such a trait, boosting his Physique Points by 10 all at once.

Han Li was secretly relieved that two months prior, he hadn’t activated a royal body, for otherwise he would have only gained 1 Physique Point. At that accumulation rate, reaching five hundred or a thousand would take an eternity.
