Looking at Hank Niu riding on two Earth Dragons, Shangguan Junhong turned to his companion, Shangguan Jinglei, and said, "Ancestor, what do you think will happen if our country's Earth Dragon Knight Order encounters Hank Niu?"
"If Tanaka doesn't intervene, I think he could take on at least ten of them," Shangguan Jinglei replied helplessly. Although the soldiers of the Earth Dragon Knight Order were carefully selected strong men, each over two meters tall and weighing close to three hundred pounds, their mounts were all Seventh and Eighth Rank Earth Dragons raised in captivity by the Eastern Dragon Empire, which made them much less wild.
However, Hank Niu weighed over five hundred pounds and was mounted on two wild Eighth Rank Earth Dragons. In the wild, these Earth Dragons were undoubtedly much stronger than their domesticated counterparts. This is why Shangguan Jinglei said Hank Niu could take on ten at once. This also explained why Hank Niu was only an Intermediate Knight at present; if one day he became an Advanced Knight and his mounts evolved further, he would have the capability to challenge the entire Eastern Dragon Empire's Earth Dragon Knight Order.
Seeing Hank Niu successfully tame the two Earth Dragons as his mounts, Liu Guanfeng was very pleased. "Let's go; it's getting late, and we should head back to rest. We have to travel early tomorrow."
"Master, I'll sleep later. Look how dirty they are; I want to give them a bath," Hank Niu said, pointing at the two Earth Dragons nearby. Liu Guanfeng smiled knowingly.
"Of course; they will be your companions from now on, so you should take care of them. After you finish bathing them, go get some fruit for them."
"Thank you, Master. Let's go wash them." In the past, Hank Niu had no idea what a bath was; he had only experienced being splashed with a few buckets of cold water. However, after following Liu Guanfeng, Liu Guanfeng arranged for someone to help Hank Niu take a proper bath. Since then, Hank Niu had come to enjoy bathing; he finally understood how comfortable it felt afterward. Aside from not having suitable clothes to wear yet, Hank Niu felt that his current life was infinitely better than before.
Next came the urgent journey back to Dragon Rising City. It had been ten days since Liu Guanfeng and the others left Crimson Dragon City. However, they had only covered one-third of the distance. It was now three in the afternoon, and the day's heat was gradually dissipating. Meanwhile, nearly half of the soldiers in the wooden cages had already died.
The deaths were all due to overdosing on drugs; unable to withstand their cravings, they ended up banging their heads against the bars until they died. The surrounding soldiers were filled with dread; there was only one reason that could instill such fear in these battle-hardened soldiers: the horrific manner of death these men suffered.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng took the opportunity to give all the soldiers a vivid lesson on drug prohibition. The examples of those captured soldiers proved very effective, and many soldiers resolved in their hearts to ban drugs.
On the smooth road, a group of tens of thousands appeared particularly solemn. The only discordant note was the horrific cries of captured soldiers coming from the prison carts, which the nearby soldiers had long grown accustomed to; aside from occasionally furrowing their brows, they showed no other reaction.
Just as everyone was anxiously hurrying along, several eagle cries echoed from above. Liu Guanfeng looked up and saw three Thunder Eagles landing in front of the group. He waved his hand to signal for a stop.
After landing, Liu Guanfeng recognized the newcomers: it was Chonghong and two knights under his command. Chonghong rushed over after dismounting from his Thunder Eagle.
"Chonghong greets you all."
"Chonghong Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Master, is it possible that you've forgotten something important?"
"Important? What is it?" Liu Guanfeng was trying hard to recall if there was anything he had overlooked in this operation. However, after thinking for a moment, he found nothing; the ultimate goal of this mission was to uncover the true mastermind behind Sun Yong's regicide, and now that Qin Hongguan had been captured by Shangguan Ji, his family and soldiers had all been subdued or killed, and those imprisoned were also taken care of.
"Master, have you forgotten about the lady of the house?"
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng suddenly realized that both of his wives were pregnant, and calculating the time, it had been about eight or nine months.
"Master, after I returned to Starfall City, I arranged everything you instructed me to do. Then I went back home to check if the ladies had any instructions. I learned that they are about to give birth. So, Master, do you..." Chonghong glanced at Liu Guanfeng but did not continue. As a subordinate, he could not impose on his master's decisions; leaving it unsaid was sufficient.
Liu Guanfeng slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "How could I forget such an important matter?"
"Big Brother, what did he just say?" Shangguan Junhong looked at Liu Guanfeng in surprise. Ever since he met Liu Guanfeng, he had never mentioned being married, and from what Chonghong just said, it seemed that Liu Guanfeng had more than one wife.
Liu Guanfeng shook his head and replied, "I was too confused. Second Brother, two Elder Brothers, to be honest, I am already married and have two lovely wives at home. This time I came out because I received an order from His Majesty of the Starfall Kingdom to investigate the true mastermind behind Sun Yong's regicide. It turns out that the mastermind is indeed Qin Hongguan. When I received the order, my two wives were already pregnant; by now, it should be time for them to give birth."
"Haha, then I must congratulate you first, Liu Brother. Welcoming new life is indeed a significant event. Moreover, you have done a great service for the empire by eliminating the traitor Qin Hongguan. You deserve great credit," Shangguan Jinglei quickly congratulated Liu Guanfeng.
"Song Hero also chimed in: 'Liu Brother, you are truly fortunate. Your two wives allowed you to come out while pregnant; this shows that they are very understanding people. With such capable wives, it's no wonder you have achieved so much.'"
"Big Brother, I also want to congratulate you here. When I have time, I must personally visit your two Sister-in-law. Since there is such a big event at home, I won't keep you any longer. We will take care of these prisoners and escort them to the capital. When the time comes, I will personally ask for a reward from Father for you. Do you have anything specific in mind that you'd like as a reward? I'll make sure to get it for you."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten. You might have seen such items in the palace." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng took out the disk of The Game of the Supreme God from his waist.
After looking at it for a moment, Shangguan Junhong closed his eyes and thought: "Big Brother, this material is quite rare. However, I believe I've seen something like this in Father's Treasury. The one I saw was similar but larger—about palm-sized." As he spoke, Shangguan Junhong gestured with his hands to indicate size.
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanfeng was delighted: "That's exactly what I'm looking for! Do you think you can help me acquire this item?"
"Don't worry, big brother. Although this item is rare, it's not something extraordinary. I believe there won't be any issues. When the time comes, I will do my best to get it for you."
"Then let me thank you in advance, second brother."
"We're brothers, so there's no need for such formality. Big brother, you should head back soon to avoid complaints from the two sisters-in-law."
"Alright then, two elder brothers, younger brother, I'm heading home now."
"Be careful on your way back."
"Hank Niu, let's go home." After saying that, Liu Guanfeng did not linger any longer. Little Black turned around and dashed towards the direction of Starfall Kingdom, while Chonghong bid farewell to Shangguan Junhong and the others before riding on Thunder Eagle to catch up.
Little Black's speed was too fast for Hank Niu's Earth Dragon to keep up with. Thus, Chonghong instructed two of his subordinates to guide Hank Niu while he followed Liu Guanfeng.
Hank Niu could only keep patting the backs of the two Earth Dragons. Unfortunately, they were already at their maximum speed, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Guanfeng had disappeared from Hank Niu's sight. What puzzled Hank Niu even more was that the usually three-headed Little White Dog that followed its master had also vanished.
Hank Niu continued to chase desperately from behind. Fortunately, there were two Thunder Eagle Knights leading the way for him; otherwise, he truly wouldn't know if he could find his caring master again.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng felt as if his heart was burning with impatience, wishing he could return home instantly. Little Black ran while looking back at Liu Guanfeng and said, "Xiaofeng, this isn't a good solution. How about I fly you back?"
Liu Guanfeng paused on Little Black's back: That's right, Little Black can fly! It's much faster than running on the ground. How did I forget about that?
So Liu Guanfeng chuckled and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for forgetting that you can fly in my moment of urgency. Please take me back with you."
Little Black shook his head and then leaped into the air with great force. At that moment, Chonghong had already caught up to Liu Guanfeng's side: "Chonghong, you don't need to accompany me anymore. Take your people to look after Hank Niu; it's his first time traveling alone and I fear he might face difficulties. You must ensure he returns home safely."
"Rest assured, master. I will complete the task."
Then Liu Guanfeng shouted down to XP, "XP, you can head home by yourself; I won't wait for you."
After saying that, Little Black quickly flew back home. Just as Liu Guanfeng was anxiously rushing home, a familiar figure appeared beside him—White Shadow. Liu Guanfeng glanced over and was startled, almost falling off Little Black's back. "XP, what are you doing here?" At that moment, XP was flying alongside Little Black.
XP turned to look at Liu Guanfeng. "I must say, Master, you really don't care about me at all. You didn't even know I could fly."
"No, I thought only Little Black could fly since it doesn't have wings."
"Master, don't forget I possess five attributes. The Wind Attribute is just a variant that appears due to the different arrangements of those five attributes. Is that really difficult for me?"
At this time, Little Black laughed heartily and said, "Haha, this is great! From now on, XP will be responsible for carrying this Little Guy, so he won't always be clinging to my back. This way, I can take it easy."
With Little Black as a flying mount, the experience was indeed different. Around ten o'clock at night, Liu Guanfeng could already see the walls of Starfall City. What would normally take an ordinary person half a month to walk could now be reached in just half a day with a flying mount. It truly felt like flying.
Once home, everyone knew Liu Guanfeng had returned and rushed out to greet him. However, Liu Guanfeng did not report to Sun Liang because what he wanted most was to be with his two wives and await the arrival of their first child from his two lifetimes.
As dawn broke the next day, Zhang Yuru first felt intense pain in her abdomen. Soon after, everyone in the house began to get busy—midwives, doctors, and maids all gathered in Zhang Yuru's room.
But just as everyone concentrated on Zhang Yuru's room, Li Xiaohan also clutched her belly in unbearable pain. Without hesitation, Liu Guanfeng rushed Li Xiaohan into a room. Fortunately, Li Xiaohan was clever; she had feared that she and Zhang Yuru might go into labor at the same time, so she had prepared two sets of birthing personnel. Thus, chaos ensued once again in Liu Manor.
At this point, Liu Guanfeng found himself with nothing to do as he anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard. Meanwhile, Nangong Rong and Liu Yong'an watched their son with smiles on their faces. After all these years, it was surprising that the youngest of their three children was the first to get married and have a child, which made the old couple very happy.
About an hour later, the first sound of a baby's cry came from Li Xiaohan's room. At that moment, after pacing for a full hour, Liu Guanfeng suddenly froze in place.
