"Wushang..."

Ah Yin pursed her lips, very satisfied with this name. At least it showed that Qian Xunji held this child in his heart.

"Eldest son, grow up quickly. Dad will secure a God King God Position for you."

Qian Xunji held the infant's swaddling clothes, a smile appearing on his face as well.

Over the next few days, little Wushang's System Panel became increasingly tender pink, and the newborn System Panel wrinkles filled out, his smooth, supple skin like mutton-fat jade, while his eyes were blue, gleaming with a faint golden light.

After absorbing a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, Shui Bing'er's Soul Power surged straight to level seventy.

But this time, Qian Xunji did not seek another Spirit Ring or Soul Bone for her.

The seventh ring was crucial; once she returned, she might have better options.

Of course, all of this was merely Qian Xunji's speculation.

Even if there weren't, with Shui Bing'er's current potential, returning to her timeline would be enough for her to become a god.

The deity of the Far North Ice Field had already been found by Qian Xunji; once Shui Bing'er returned, she could activate the deity's Inheritance.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

With Qian Xunji using Soul Power to nourish his muscles and bones, little Wushang was already able to crawl all over the beach and play.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingxian's due date was also approaching.

However, right around this time, Shui Bing'er suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

This was very unusual; as a Soul Master, under normal circumstances, her body couldn't possibly develop such an issue.

Qian Xunji reached out to feel her pulse and immediately froze on the spot.

"Your Excellency? What... what's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, you just ate too much and didn't digest it properly."

The corner of Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly; he had actually been very careful.

There were only a very few times he had finished directly inside Shui Bing'er.

He hadn't expected this Little girl to be so fertile.

Getting pregnant at this point in time meant that by the time she gave birth, she would be in another timeline.

Shui Bing'er was completely bewildered and looked at Qian Xunji in confusion: "Your Excellency?"

"Well... you're pregnant."

Qian Xunji frowned; his own child would be left to grow up in another timeline.

He felt genuinely uncomfortable in his heart.

"I'm... pregnant?"

Shui Bing'er, on the other hand, was overjoyed, though a bit worried as well.

Because she also knew the reason why Qian Xunji rarely finished inside her.

Yet when the mood struck and he couldn't hold back, he would still do it.

She hadn't expected that after just those few times, she would actually conceive.

"Your Excellency, I... I want to give birth to this child. I will take good care of him."

Shui Bing'er was terrified that Qian Xunji wouldn't allow her to take his flesh and blood to another timeline, so she hurriedly pleaded.

Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow: "Who said I wouldn't let you give birth?"

Shui Bing'er blinked her large eyes and quickly shut her mouth: "I didn't say that."

"Hmph, that's exactly what you were thinking.

Rest well and don't overthink things."

Qian Xunji rubbed Shui Bing'er's head. Now that she was pregnant, he certainly wouldn't force her to get rid of it.

The only downside was that the Little guy in Shui Bing'er's belly wouldn't be able to grow up by his side.

A few more days passed.

A clear, loud cry echoed from the delivery room, and Bo Saixi emerged with a dark expression, carrying a small pink swaddle.

She held immense resentment; it was bad enough that she hadn't gotten pregnant herself, but she was even made to act as a midwife.

Acting as a midwife was one thing, but the key issue was that Shui Bing'er had also gotten pregnant with Qian Xunji's flesh and blood at this time.

She was complaining in her heart—she had taken plenty of it herself, so why was she so useless?

Qian Xunji took the child from the resentful woman's arms, a smile on his face: "Don't be in a rush, you'll have one eventually."

"Do you think I still have time?"

Bo Saixi glaringly confronted Qian Xunji; this bastard had disregarded her life and death back then when he had Ah Yin start the Divine Trial.

"What? Are you about to die of old age?"

Qian Xunji remained foul-mouthed. Bo Saixi gnashed her teeth: "Ah Yin is about to start her final breakthrough. Once she completes the trials preceding the Sea God, I will have to sacrifice myself to help her become a god!"

"Are you stupid? With me around, would I let you sacrifice yourself?

Be a good nanny for me, and I'll reward you tonight."

Qian Xunji grinned mischievously. Bo Saixi was both embarrassed and annoyed, but the anxiety that had weighed on her heart finally vanished.

She wouldn't have to die.

Ye Qingxian's recovery ability was not inferior to Ah Yin's in the slightest. She walked over to Qian Xunji's side, looking a little disappointed.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Qian Xunji asked. Ye Qingxian looked at the small pink swaddle in Qian Xunji's arms: "It's not a son."

"I like daughters too."

Qian Xunji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's always women who claim to oppose favoring sons over daughters.

Yet the ones who favor sons over daughters the most are still women."

Douluo Continent still held such traditional views.

It wasn't that Ye Qingxian disliked her child, but she had hoped even more for a son.

"This Little girl, let's name her Qian Qian then."

Qian Xunji named their daughter, a decision Ye Qingxian naturally wouldn't contest.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Little Wushang had already learned to run, while Qian Qian crawled around pursuing her brother, babbling endlessly.

Sea God Island had become much livelier thanks to these two Little guys.

Shui Bing'er's lower abdomen had also rounded out, but she was about to leave.

With less than a month left, she would have to return.

On this day, Qian Xunji suddenly called out to her: "Bing'er, right now you only have two Soul Bones in your body.

I'll help you find another Soul Bone. Tell me what expectations you have for your third Soul Bone."

He had harbored this intention over the past two months.

However, the remnant consciousnesses of Snow Empress and Ice Empress had told Shui Bing'er to return to the future timeline before obtaining her seventh ring.

They were confident they could convince the Snow Empress and Ice Empress of that future timeline.

Thus, having Snow Empress sacrifice herself for Shui Bing'er's seventh ring was the best possible choice.

She was still missing three Spirit Rings, but was short five Soul Bones.

"Ah?"

Shui Bing'er was stunned. She naturally understood Qian Xunji's words, but precisely because she understood them, she was utterly baffled.

Can Soul Bones actually be picked and chosen?

Could one even have specific expectations?

Isn't having just any one enough to use?

Countless people wanted one and couldn't get any.

"I... as long as it's Ice-attribute, it should be very suitable, right?"

Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was such that giving it speed wasn't a waste, giving it power attack worked too, and giving it support was fine as well.

As long as the attributes didn't conflict, it would be useful.

Qian Xunji pondered for a moment and agreed that it was indeed true.

He immediately stood up, shattered the void, and departed.

Returning two days later, he held an ice-blue leg bone in his hand.

This Soul Bone appeared illusory yet possessed a tangible existence, emanating a bitter cold chill.

"This is a Soul Bone from a Deep Sea Profound Ice Mother. Its age is around 300,000 years, which is more than sufficient.

Go ahead and absorb it."

Qian Xunji handed the Soul Bone to Shui Bing'er.

...Original Web Novel Timeline...

Everyone had assumed that Qian Xunji's trip out to search for a Soul Bone this time would end in failure.

After all, how could Soul Bones be so easy to find?

Not to mention that according to Qian Xunji's style, he wouldn't even consider a Soul Bone under 100,000-years old.

Even in the ocean, a 100,000-year Soul Beast was rare, wasn't it?

Searching aimlessly, how could one possibly find a suitable Soul Beast without spending at least half a year or a year?

Yet, Qian Xunji returned in just two days.

"Isn't... isn't this a bit too ridiculous?

That was a 300,000-year Soul Beast!"

"Terrifying! That Deep Sea Profound Ice Mother was taking a deep sleep at the bottom of the sea...

...when suddenly it was slain with a single sword strike, without even having a chance to react!"

"Comparing oneself to others will truly drive a person mad with envy.

Never mind 300,000 years, even if it were a 30,000-year or 3,000-year Soul Bone, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it!"
