Under the murderous gazes of the couple, Venerable Qingming reached out to flick the golden dragon horn on Xie Lanzhi's left side.
"Aren't all dragons extremely fertile? How come you are a defective product?"
Xie Lanzhi avoided the hand of the Qingming Master, not letting him touch his dragon horn: "If you have something to say, just talk, don't make a move!"
Venerable Qing Ming just wanted to show affection, but when he saw that Xie Lanzhi was unhappy, he stopped.
He frowned and said worriedly, "You can't do this. Ah Shu is born with a fertile body. What a good physique. The bloodline of the Qin family will all depend on her in the future. If you do this... it will be difficult for you two to have children. I don't ask you to have two children in three years, but one in three years is fine. Sigh, it seems that I still need to find a few more Taoist companions for Ah Shu..."
"Grandpa!" Qin Shu became anxious as she saw that his words were becoming more and more nonsense.
Venerable Qing Ming glanced at Qin Shu with resentment: "Either you bring those five children here, or you find a few more Taoist companions. Our Qin family finally has a child who can give birth. This is God helping our Qin family!"
Qin Shu laughed angrily: "Why don't you give birth!"
Venerable Qing Ming made a sullen face, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I would like to have a baby, but I can't."
Xie Lanzhi, who had been suppressing his anger, lowered his gaze and scanned the lower abdominal area of Lord Qingming's robe.
All I heard was him mocking with a fake smile: "Can't have children? It seems that you are not only a defective product, but also an impotent sheep's tail."
"!!!" Qin Shu was stunned.
“…” Venerable Qing Ming’s expression cracked.
Qin Shu saw that Venerable Qingming's expression was not right, and the hand hanging by his side showed a tendency to rise, so she quickly stepped in front of Xie Lanzhi.
She said with a cold face: "Brother Lan is a patient, you can't do anything to him!"
Qin Shu didn't even call him grandpa, and Venerable Qingming knew that the girl was angry.
He raised his hand and pointed at Xie Lanzhi's nose: "This kid is slandering me!"
Qin Shu stiffened her neck and said, "You were the first to slander Brother Lan! My five children are all Brother Lan's. We are husband and wife, and we don't allow anyone to interfere with each other!"
Venerable Qing Ming blinked and stared at Xie Lanzhi with a strange look: "I think this kid will not have any offspring. Even if he took a lot of medicine before, it will be difficult for him to conceive a child."
Xie Lanzhi's golden eyes showed mockery: "I am a childless person, and Ah Shu is fertile. We are a perfect match!"
Venerable Qingming took these words to heart and looked back and forth between Qin Shu and Xie Lanzhi.
After a moment, he smiled and said domineeringly: "You two love each other so much, I won't be the evil person who breaks up the couple. Since you can give birth to five children, it means that your bodies are very suitable for childbearing. How about this, I won't let you have more children. If you give birth to five children in this world, then give birth to five children here as well.
Don't worry, I will make clear arrangements for the children after they are born. I will ensure that they will practice Qi at the age of three, build their foundation at the age of five, form Dan at the age of ten, become Yuanying at the age of twenty, become a respected Shenhua cultivator at the age of fifty, and ascend to the immortal world at the peak of Mahayana at the age of one hundred..."
Venerable Qingming was calculating so well that the abacus beads were about to fall on Xie Lanzhi and Qin Shu's faces.
The two of them looked speechless, and even had the urge to take action.
Xie Lanzhi held Qin Shu's hand, glanced at the Qingming Reverend, and said coldly: "If you want to raise a child, go and give birth to one yourself! The child of Ah Shu and I does not need you to worry about it, let alone your arrangements!"
Venerable Qing Ming was anxious, and said in a low voice with a hint of displeasure: "I've already told you that I can't have children! The higher the level of cultivation, the lower the fertility of people in the cultivation world. I worked hard for hundreds of years before but nothing happened, and now it's even more impossible!"
Xie Lanzhi said sternly: "If you can't give birth, go find someone else. Don't even think about having my and Ah Shu's child!"
Venerable Qing Ming was so angry that his breathing became unstable: "You think I don't want to?! Wuweizi has no desires and looks at women as if they were corpses. He is not interested in getting married and having children. Qin Baixuan, that stinky boy, has remained chaste for his wife in another world.
There are only a few direct descendants of the Qin family, and they are all so useless! The direct bloodline of the Qin family is about to be cut off in this generation!"
“Ahem…”
When Qin Shu heard about her elders' private affairs, she coughed softly with an unnatural look on her face.
Xie Lanzhi said in a cold voice: "Ah Shu is my wife, not a reproductive tool to continue your Qin family's bloodline. The process of pregnancy and childbirth is very painful. My child with her is a natural outcome, not something I did intentionally for the sake of having a child!"
After being rejected again and again, Venerable Qing Ming became a little angry and said, "You are such a stubborn kid!"
Xie Lanzhi: "You are too old and stubborn! Your head is full of dross feudal ideas!"
Reverend Qing Ming: "What a sharp-tongued little dragon! How disrespectful to your elders!"
Xie Lanzhi: "I'm not as good as you. You come here and take advantage of your age!"
Venerable Qing Ming: "You...you've had enough!"
Xie Lanzhi: "You are not done yet!"
Qin Shu listened to the two people arguing and stood between them.
"That's enough of you! The matter of nurturing the Qin family's bloodline does not necessarily require me to be in my next life. This matter can be discussed later. My most important task now is to practice and strive to have a baby as soon as possible."
Xie Lanzhi pinched Qin Shu's palm and knew what Qin Shu meant. Once the baby was formed, they would leave here.
Venerable Qingming had no idea of the young couple’s plans, and his temper came and went quickly.
He narrowed his dark eyes and said to Xie Lanzhi, "Ah Shu worked hard to form a baby for you. If you dare to bully her or do something to let her down in the future, I will twist your head off and kick it like a ball!"
Xie Lanzhi looked at the man who acted like the Qin family, and spoke without sarcasm, and said seriously, "That day will never come."
Venerable Qing Ming raised his chin slightly: "You'd better not let me catch you!"
Xie Lanzhi curled his lips and sneered: "You won't be able to wait until that day!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qin Shu took the opportunity to change the subject: "I'm hungry!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two men immediately stopped arguing with each other.
Venerable Qing Ming: "I brought food!"
Xie Lanzhi lifted the quilt, stood up and went to the ground: "I'll accompany you!"
The three of them came to the outer hall and sat at the dining table.
While Qin Shu was eating, Venerable Qingming calmly discussed with Xie Lanzhi the matter of Qin Shu's upcoming baby.
"It is no small matter for Ah Shu to have a baby. She is different from ordinary cultivators and needs to go into seclusion."
Xie Lanzhi nodded: "How long will the retreat take?"
Venerable Qing Ming: "A few months at the least, three to five years at the most."
Qin Shu said, "It takes so long? It wasn't so troublesome when Yan Xishan and Fan Cang formed their infants!"
Venerable Qingming said earnestly: "The Qin family is different. They practice very quickly, but they are in great danger when they experience thunder tribulations."
Qin Shu asked in confusion: "Why?"
Venerable Qing Ming avoided the main point and said, "You should prepare early. Take advantage of this period of time to practice dual cultivation. When Ah Shu forms his infant, it will probably cause a lot of noise, and you will need to protect him from the thunderstorm."
“……”Qin Shu.
"..."Xie Lanzhi.
As we were talking, we ended up talking about things in bed.
*
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the mountain behind the main hall of Linglong Dan Pavilion, several ancestors who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage had set up a huge formation.
Qin Shu and Xie Lanzhi held hands and watched as Venerable Qingming directed everyone to carry magic tools, talismans, and elixirs into the cave of the formation.
Wuweizi came behind the two of them and reminded them, "Ashu, it's time for you to go in."
Xie Lanzhi let go of Qin Shu's hand: "Ah Shu, you can rest assured and retreat. I will accompany you outside."
Qin Shu pinched the man's fingertips, her face full of reluctance: "Can't you stay with me in the Sumeru mustard seed?"
"Can't!"
Reverend Qingming flew over and stopped him sternly.
"The formation of a baby is related to your life, and there can be no room for error."
Qin Shu ignored him and stared at Xie Lanzhi eagerly, wanting the man to accompany her.
Xie Lanzhi opened his arms and embraced her, speaking softly, "I will accompany you outside, and I will make sure that when you come out of retreat and form your baby, I will be the first person to see you."
Qin Shu ignored the presence of elders around her and greedily absorbed the scent from Xie Lanzhi.
"I will have a baby as soon as possible, and then do what we want to do."
Xie Lanzhi said lovingly: "Okay——"
Qin Shu went into seclusion, which lasted for three years.
Three years later.
“Boom!”
“Bang! Crash—!”
The first infant-forming thunder tribulation split the mountain in half.
Everyone in Linglong Dan Pavilion was alarmed and rushed to the back mountain immediately.
Qin Shu came out of seclusion and walked straight into the advanced formation that had been set up three years ago, officially forming a baby and overcoming the tribulation.
She didn't see that outside the formation, there was a man in black standing. He had his hair untied, and his beautiful white hair like the Milky Way was casually scattered. His tall figure exuded a noble and natural aura.
Xie Lanzhi's golden eyes stared calmly at Qin Shu in the formation, and his hands behind his back were clenched into fists.
After three years of missing her, he finally saw her in person, but his inner excitement was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Ashu is finally out of isolation!"
Wuweizi, Qin Baixuan, Zunzhe Qingming, and Yanxishan are all here.
Xie Lanzhi turned around and nodded slightly to the others: "The thunder tribulation is coming with great force, I'm afraid Ah Shu won't be able to hold on. If anything unexpected happens, please do your best to save Ah Shu's life."
Wuweizi and Qin Baixuan didn't say anything, but looked at Qin Shu with worried eyes.
Reverend Qing Ming looked up at the horrific thunderstorm that was brewing in the rolling clouds.
He said to Xie Lanzhi: "I will. You should also be careful and don't risk your life against the laws of nature. If something happens to you, Ah Shu will probably turn the world of cultivation upside down and will do whatever it takes to find you!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't say anything, his thin lips curled up in a tender arc.
“Boom!”
The lightning rolling from the clouds struck directly towards Qin Shu who was in the formation.
When Xie Lanzhi saw this scene, his pupils shrank drastically and he rushed forward without thinking.
A hand grasped his arm firmly.
Venerable Qing Ming shouted sternly, "What do you want to do?"
Xie Lanzhi said urgently: "Ah Shu is in danger!"
Venerable Qing Ming said unhappily, "This is just the beginning. Ah Shu can withstand the early thunder tribulation. Wait until she can't bear it anymore before you attack. Don't be impulsive!"
Qin Shu, who was in the formation, was struck by the second thunder and her whole body shuddered, but fortunately she was not seriously injured.
