Chapter 002: Looking for a Protective Umbrella
"Ah..." Shen Yichuan sighed deeply and left the room.
Qi Xiuyuan went into seclusion the day after his rebirth. In order to prevent the two children who were still alive from falling into the clutches of their father, the two children were sent to the wife of the head of the family.
The wife of the head of the Qi family is Qi Xiuyuan's biological mother. She is a gentle and kind woman. However, her old injury has recently relapsed and her health is not very good. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Qi Xiuyuan sending his child to her to fulfill his filial piety.
Today's Xuanhuang Continent is really huge. One continent is as big as the Earth, or maybe even bigger!
As one of the top families in the fantasy continent, the Qi family's sphere of influence is naturally very large. So even though everyone lives in the Qi family, the distance between the head of the family and where he lives now is about three cities on Earth.
According to the novel I had read, Qi Xiuyuan, after his rebirth, had been in seclusion for almost two months, and when he came out, he broke through to the Martial Master level in one fell swoop, and then... naturally, the bullying of the scum began.
Therefore, this "scumbag" really doesn't have much time to prepare.
The levels of warriors on this continent are divided into: Apprentice, Warrior, Master, Lord, Emperor, Saint... and finally, one who breaks through the void, that is, becomes a god.
However, according to the novel's background, no one has been able to break through the void in the entire Xuanhuang Continent for over 20,000 years. Many Martial Saints die of old age after living for 10,000 years, and after their death, their energy returns to the continent. As to why no one has been able to break through the void, we don't know, and the text doesn't mention it. However, at the end of the novel, Qi Xiuyuan breaks through the void and becomes a god, and the story ends there.
Qi Xiuyuan was only twenty-six years old this year. While that might not be considered young on Earth, here, while twenty was considered an adult, twenty-six really wasn't old at all. Many who reached the Martial Honor level were over two hundred years old, and those over a hundred were considered geniuses. Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan reaching the Martial Honor at the age of twenty-six was truly a true genius!
If Qi Xiuyuan wasn't a super genius, the entire Qi family wouldn't have recognized him as the next generation of the Qi family's head. You have to know that he is a Shuang'er after all. In ordinary families, even in large families, Shuang'er are married off and used for marriage. If a person is not extremely talented, they will definitely not accept him as a son-in-law.
Precisely because Qi Xiuyuan's talent was exceptional, one in a million, he secured his position as the young master of the family after he was ten years old.
If Qi Xiuyuan hadn't met a scumbag with special talents, perhaps he could have become a god without being reborn!
If this were just reading a novel or watching a TV show, Shen Yichuan would naturally not care whether the other person was reborn or not, or whether the person he met was a scumbag or not. At most, he would sigh a little. But the problem is that he is now that "scumbag"! Thinking of the ending of the scumbag in the book, Shen Yichuan really felt bad.
What to do! What to do! He still has two months left, so he has to come up with a plan now!
After leaving the room, Shen Yichuan called his personal bodyguard Qi Hang.
Qi Hang, five hundred years old this year, is in the late stage of the Martial Honor, but his hopes of breaking through to the Martial Emperor are slim. His Martial Honor status was "promoted" by the Qi family, but this "promotion" actually overdraws one's potential. However, many people never reach the Martial Honor level in their lifetime, so overdrawing or not is irrelevant. Countless warriors within the Qi family have fought tooth and nail for this "promotion" spot.
Qi Hang was one of them. Because he had passed various tests and had restrictions in his body, he was absolutely loyal to the Qi family, so he was given the surname Qi. His cultivation in the late stage of Martial Honor made him chosen by Qi Xiuyuan and placed by the original owner to become his personal bodyguard.
So, Qi Xiuyuan was really good to the original owner, but it's a pity that the original owner was a scumbag!
"Qi Hang, go to the headmaster's wife." Shen Yichuan ordered directly.
"Yes, Mr. Shen." Qi Hang was very respectful.
This was the original owner's fifth year with the Qi family. During these five years, his physique had been transformed by the Qi family's countless natural resources. Over a year ago, he had actually begun devouring members of the Qi family. However, since it was just the beginning, he didn't dare attack anyone too influential within the Qi family. Furthermore, he had to be extremely discreet. Therefore, over the past year or so, he had only devoured a few guards and two disciples from other branches who were away for training.
But even so, the original owner's cultivation level has been able to break through from a martial artist to a martial artist, and now his cultivation level has been consolidated at the peak of the early martial artist stage. If he devours two more, he will be able to reach the middle stage of the martial artist.
It was precisely because the original owner's devouring technique was so awesome that he was able to destroy the entire Qi family in just ten years!
In the current timeline, if Qi Xiuyuan had not been reborn and he had not come here, then the original owner would have attacked Qi Hang and then Qi Xiuyuan not long after.
Qi Xiuyuan has excellent talent and a fast cultivation speed. If he had not mistakenly trusted the original owner, the original owner would not have been able to use the other party's trust to absorb his talent bit by bit, causing Qi Xiuyuan to become disabled in the end.
The sins committed by the original owner are now all his tears.
Riding on the carriage pulled by the flying-winged bird, a fifth-level mysterious beast, more than twenty minutes later, the carriage arrived at the palace where the head of the Qi family and his wife lived.
Every time Shen Yichuan saw the appearance of these palaces, he would be shocked. The luxury of these palaces really could not be compared with those five-cent special effects palaces on TV. These palaces here were really like immortal palaces!
Because he had the original owner's memories and Qi Hang was following him, Shen Yichuan was not afraid of getting lost. After walking for a while, he arrived inside the palace, and then he saw two little radishes running towards him.
These are the original owner’s children, twins, a boy and a girl. The boy’s name is Qi Kongyang and the girl’s name is Qi Mengxi.
Although the original owner was a scumbag, he was very good at pretending and was extremely nice to Qi Xiuyuan and his two children. Therefore, he had a good relationship with people in the family in the past few years, especially the head of the family and his wife, who were really nice to him.
Originally, many people would have been jealous of him becoming the husband of the male god Qi Xiuyuan, even the Qi family would have been jealous of him. But firstly, he was chosen by Qi Xiuyuan, and even the head of the family and his wife approved of him. Secondly, he truly doted on his two children in public and loved Qi Xiuyuan with all his heart. So now no one in the Qi family had any complaints about him. When he was "bullied" by people from other families, the Qi family would even come to his aid.
At this moment, looking at the boy and girl running towards him, Shen Yichuan felt very complicated.
He is not the original owner, but this body belongs to the original owner, so... roughly speaking, this can also be considered his child?
I thought he had never had a woman when he was on Earth, but now he has traveled through the book and has two children!
These two little ancestors were now his life-saving amulets, so Shen Yichuan smiled and picked up the two little things that came running towards him. The moment he picked up the two children, Shen Yichuan suddenly felt his heart tremble, and there was also a feeling... as if they were really connected by blood.
Huh? This is a bit weird, right? You know, the original owner is the original owner, he is him! Why does he feel a blood connection with these two little things? Is it because he's using the original owner's body?
"Father, are you here to pick us up?"
"Father, we missed you so much."
"Father, why haven't you come to see us these days?"
"Father, you are finally here."
The two little ones were chirping, and it was obvious that seeing Shen Yichuan made them very happy.
Shen Yichuan let go of his previous distraction and, smiling, began to warmly engage with the two little creatures. Back on Earth, he'd always been strict, but that was because he'd risen to a high position early on. As the head of a large corporation, everyone in the company had to look up to him, and even with partners, he only needed to be polite. Naturally, he was always reserved, but he was a businessman after all, and knowing when to use what expression was ingrained in him. So now, he could naturally project a fatherly demeanor without even having to learn.
After a brief intimacy, Luo Jiulian, wife of the Qi family's headmistress, also came over.
"Yichuan is here."
"Mother." Shen Yichuan saluted Luo Jiulian solemnly.
Luo Jiulian smiled and said, "Come here and see how happy these two children are."
Shen Yichuan smiled innocently, "I miss them so much after not visiting them for the past two days."
Luo Jiulian's smile suddenly became more gentle.
The head of the Qi family was handling affairs. Shen Yichuan asked about Luo Jiulian's injuries and naturally received a reply that she was fine. Then, Shen Yichuan suggested taking the two children back.
Luo Jiulian hesitated for two seconds. She always felt that her son was a little strange when he sent his two grandsons here, as if he didn't want the two children to go back. But this shouldn't make sense. Shen Yichuan is the father of the two children, and he is a careful person. He can take care of children better than her, so the feeling at that time... should it be her own illusion?
What's more, the child's father has proposed to take the child back, saying that he misses the child very much. What if she, as a grandmother, forces him to stay?
So Luo Jiulian only hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.
The two little ones were very happy when they heard that they could go back with Shen Yichuan. Luo Jiulian couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw how happy they were, and finally had no choice but to see them off.
Finally receiving the children, Shen Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to spend the next two months cultivating a better relationship with the two children! Qi Xiuyuan, the reincarnated God of Death, was about to come out of seclusion. He had to find a way to protect him!
In the Flying Wing Bird car, Shen Yichuan listened to the chattering of the two children and felt that his life was really difficult. As the CEO of a large company, he now had to rely on two children who were less than four years old to save his life... It was too difficult!
