Xia Xiang has been working hard to coax him for the past three days. If her grandfather hadn't said that he had something important to discuss with them and they needed to return to the Xia family, Jiu Wu probably wouldn't have been so easily appeased...
As soon as the two returned, they saw a little one had come to their house.
The three-year-old was immediately surrounded by people upon arrival. He wasn't shy at all when he saw strangers and greeted them politely and well.
After some explanation, I learned that this little baby belonged to Xia Yu.
"Big brother, where did you snatch this from? Can't you snatch one for us too?" Xia Xiang looked at the cute little boy and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
Xia Xiang stroked the child's soft hair and pinched his rosy cheeks, finding the child quite amusing.
"Do I know my baby's mom? She looks kind of familiar."
“His own flesh and blood!” Xia Yu rolled his eyes at his unreliable sister. “You know him, his mother is Hu Yanqing.”
Xia Xiang: !!!
Jiuwu: ...I wonder what Rex is thinking right now...
"Brother, where is Sister Qingqing?" Xia Xiang looked around the house but didn't see her.
Although she trusted her older brother completely, why did she have this feeling that he was a scumbag? Did Hu Yanqing like her older brother's type?
Didn't she say she liked refined, scholarly gentlemen? Her older brother, a businessman who's a suave scoundrel, isn't her type at all!
Xia Yu: ……
"She hasn't finished her work yet, she'll be here in a bit." Xia Yu stepped forward and rescued his child from the group of uncles and aunts, placing him in his grandfather's arms.
"What's going on with you guys?" Xia Xiang followed over, looking at Xia Yu suspiciously.
"Hey, I'm your older brother, what are you thinking!" Xia Yu knew his younger sister wasn't thinking the best of him when he saw her suspicion.
He and Hu Yanqing met during the previous great battle, and later, when Xia Yu was acting as the leader of the alliance, their paths crossed more often.
After spending time together, the two gradually developed feelings for each other and eventually got together. However, Hu Yanqing was sent out on a mission.
Although the two had kept in touch over the past four years, the little guy's situation was never mentioned; in any case, Xia Yu only found out about it recently.
Grandpa held his great-grandson with tears in his eyes, overwhelmed with emotion. He repeatedly urged Xia Yu to make a grand marriage proposal to the Huyan Jueluo family, as if they were going to snatch him away since everyone was present.
As soon as Hu Yanqing arrived outside the Xia family, he followed Xia Yu and the others to the Hu Yanjue Luo family.
Grandpa discussed with the head of the Huyan family for a long time and quickly settled the marriage between the two. The two families started to prepare for the wedding of the century almost without stopping. Xia Yu and Huyan Qing were still confused when they exchanged their wedding vows.
——
Over the years, as long as Jiu Wu was around, Xiong Ge would always give him a lot of nourishing food. However, she felt that giving nourishment only to Jiu Wu seemed too targeted, so she simply spread the favor evenly, causing everyone to suffer.
Fortunately, Xia Xiang got busy again, and Jiu Wu didn't stay in the Iron Dimension very often.
Time flies like an arrow.
Xia Xiang had just celebrated her thirtieth birthday when Jiu Wu went into seclusion to cultivate at a crucial juncture.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang discovered she was pregnant a month later. However, the father's return date was uncertain, and the child might be an adult by the time he came out...
Even more surprisingly, Huai'an, that bastard, came back. He said he had found the general direction of Xuanming and then took her to find Xuanming.
This departure lasted for more than half a year, until she returned to Bamo Island two months before giving birth.
Xia Xiang conceived while playing mahjong with Huai'an and Bai Yu, so she named the child Yitong, a homonym for "one of bamboo".
Huai'an really disliked the way she named her child, but she was her biological mother, so he couldn't say anything.
Xia Xiang is usually very busy, so Xiao Yitong basically lives between the Demon-Slaying Island and the Iron Dimension. She has been very precocious since childhood, and has combined all the advantages of Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu. She looks exactly like Jiu Wu, but her personality is cold, which is unlike either of them.
At a young age, Yi Tong devoted herself to her mother, managing the household and studying diligently with the elders.
She is five years old this year. When she heard that her father, who has been in seclusion until now, might be coming out of seclusion, she obeyed her mother's orders, who was still working away from home, and went to pick him up with a bouquet of flowers.
"Little friend, who are you?" Jiu Wu looked around but didn't see Xia Xiang. He only saw a child with a cold face and a face that looked very much like his own, holding a large bouquet of flowers that Xia Xiang liked and waiting there.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Father.” The child extended his hand and shook hands with him in a very serious manner.
Jiu Wu was completely bewildered. Could it be what he was thinking? A surge of warmth welled up in his heart, and he missed Xia Xiang even more.
Thinking of this, he decided not to leave with the child he had just met and teleported away to find Xia Xiang.
Moxibustion Yitong: ...
Xia Xiang had just returned when she saw Jiu Wu come in from outside. The two were affectionate for a while before Xia Xiang realized something was missing.
"Jiu Wu, where's my daughter?" Xia Xiang stared at Jiu Wu with wide eyes.
"Um...she's in the back, I think." Jiu Wu suddenly realized he'd left his child behind. "But she looks like she's dressed like a boy?"
"She's very opinionated and has her own preferences, so let her do what she likes." Xia Xiang felt that the matter of clothing was not a problem at all.
When Yi Tong got annoyed by her pestering, she would eventually give her face and wear a little skirt and carry the cartoon bags that Yi Tong had bought for her.
“That’s right, as long as it’s comfortable.” Jiu Wu had no objections to these things.
Xia Xiang was very arrogant when he was a child. He wouldn't wear clothes unless they were well-matched, but luckily he was patient.
Yi Tong hadn't returned yet, and Xia Xiang started telling Jiu Wu all sorts of funny stories about Yi Tong's childhood.
"You know, when she was having her first birthday celebration, she grabbed Rex's Grand Alliance Leader Seal and wouldn't let go. Rex was shocked and almost tried to take the child from me."
Rex is currently in charge of the Alliance because Jiu Lai doesn't want to manage so much. The Silver Dimension is in a complicated situation, and the Bronze Dimension is still developing. Therefore, the leaders of the Iron Dimension, Silver Dimension, and Bronze Dimension have jointly put Rex in charge.
Rex simply handed over the Gold Dimension to Wang Arthur, Wang Da Dong, and Ding Xiao Yu. He would morally blackmail Xia Xiang into helping him every day from the Alliance side. Xia Xiang couldn't refuse him, so she would go there and do what she could when she had free time.
Unbeknownst to her, Rex had long been eyeing young Yi Tong, intending to have Xia Xiang's daughter pay off her debts as her unreliable mother, so he secretly began to groom her to become the leader of the alliance.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Wu felt a surge of jealousy and secretly vowed to make up for lost time.
As they were talking, they saw Yi Tong walk in from outside, holding flowers for Jiu Wu with a calm expression.
