After a round of greetings, the Dark Mage presented countless rare treasures to Elegant as a meeting gift.
Elegant initially hesitated to accept, but under Wei Chen's subtle hint, she respectfully accepted the gifts and expressed her gratitude to the Dark Mage.
According to Wei Chen's reasoning, these were gifts from her grandfather; how could she refuse them?
Could she really refuse?
Wei Chen brought Qingling onto the Shenzhou and gathered with Elegant. He also called Zhao Yu to join them, allowing Elegant, Qingling, and Zhao Yu to spend time together.
Elegant's grace made Zhao Yu feel comfortable; there was no sense of discomfort at all. Wei Chen observed quietly for a while, and when the anticipated conflict did not arise, he felt it was a great success.
The Dark Mage magically summoned several maidservants to take care of Elegant, Qingling, and Zhao Yu.
When the Army set out, Wei Chen was unaware that the Dark Mage had ordered dozens of maidens to accompany them. Now seeing it, he realized how far-sighted the Dark Mage truly was!
Upon inquiry, Wei Chen learned of the Dark Mage's intentions. The Dark Mage believed that his grandson was so outstanding that he would inevitably attract many young ladies. Sending some maidens along with the Army was a preventive measure.
Wei Chen couldn't help but admire the old sage; indeed, the older ginger is spicier—this old ginger was simply too sharp.
After the three women became familiar with each other, Wei Chen brought Yan Qiqi out. Before introducing Yan Qiqi, he had instructed her that they were not her older sisters but younger sisters. She could refer to them as sisters if she liked, but in terms of conduct and dealings, she was the leader and not a younger sister.
Yan Qiqi naturally nodded in agreement with Wei Chen's request. Whatever Wei Chen wanted, she would comply; it had become her instinct.
When Yan Qiqi made her entrance, Elegant, Qingling, and Zhao Yu were all in awe. After all, Yan Qiqi's strength was truly formidable. Especially upon learning that Yan Qiqi might grant them the Heart of the World, making them immortal beings, their attitude towards her was nothing short of admiration.
Wei Chen had already informed Elegant, Qingling, and Zhao Yu about the Endless Divine Realm and the Divine Realm System. When introducing Yan Qiqi, he emphasized her identity as a Demon King and particularly highlighted her ability to refine a Heart of the World. This left Elegant and the others envious beyond measure.
It wasn't that they desired such immense power; in reality, they didn't care much about strength. However, if they wished to accompany Wei Chen forever, such power was essential.
So, for Yan Qiqi, Elegant, and Zhao Yu, they were all very polite, even though Yan Qiqi referred to herself as a younger sister; the three women did not dare to treat her as a true sister.
The authority of the eldest sister quietly established itself, and the situation was very favorable, which made Wei Chen feel quite at ease.
"Kid, that was a brilliant move! You, heh heh, Grandpa really appreciates you," Wei Chen said as he exited the Warship's inner chamber, where Dark Mage was waiting outside with a smug grin on his face.
Wei Chen helplessly replied, "Grandpa, what if Sister Qingya has a daughter? You better not give her a hard time just because you prefer boys!"
Dark Mage waved his hand dismissively. "Grandpa isn't that old-fashioned. Both boys and girls are part of our Dark Magic Family's bloodline; they are all the same."
"According to traditional customs, if a daughter is born, wouldn't that mean our Dark Magic Clan would be extinct?" Wei Chen looked at Dark Mage and said lightly.
Dark Mage chuckled. "Not at all! Actually, that Elegant girl is pregnant. Grandpa is very happy about it because it proves your body is fine."
"Damn it, you're the one with problems," Wei Chen retorted rudely while giving Dark Mage an upside-down thumbs-up gesture.
Dark Mage smirked. "I was worried before that it was your body that had issues. All those tales about strong individuals not being able to have offspring were just made up by you. Men care about their reputation; Grandpa knows this well. Now that your body is fine, even if Elegant has a daughter, you just need to work harder. You can't keep having daughters forever, right? You can't avoid pregnancy indefinitely either! With so many wives, put in some effort!"
"Grandpa, didn't I make it clear? My current strength makes it very difficult to have offspring," Wei Chen said helplessly.
Dark Mage replied, "It's difficult but not impossible. The probability isn't zero; it's just not guaranteed. Right?"
Wei Chen was speechless. "Grandpa, there's no need to worry about this matter. I'll handle it as needed. The child Elegant bears should be a boy."
"A boy? How can you tell with just that little bit?" Dark Mage was overjoyed but still wanted to clarify to avoid disappointment if it turned out not to be a boy.
Although he had already accepted that both boys and girls were fine, deep down in his heart, could they really be the same?
After all, the Dark Magic Family had been passed down through generations, and it could not come to an end in Wei Chen's time, the most prosperous era.
However, it seemed impossible. Both the Dark Mage and Wei Chen possessed infinite lifespans; there was no way for the Dark Magic Family to face extinction. As for the probability of that happening, well, it wasn't absolutely impossible, but it was highly unlikely.
"The essence of boys and girls is different; you wouldn't understand. When you reach my level of power, you'll know," Wei Chen said, glancing at the Dark Mage, too lazy to elaborate further.
The Dark Mage laughed heartily. "Haha! I could never reach your level! And I don't need to. I don't require such strength. You young ones can handle your own affairs; I'll just wait to be a grandfather."
"As long as I have one grandson, I wouldn't mind if all the other children are girls. Our Dark Magic Family hasn't had a male descendant in many generations," the Dark Mage chuckled.
"Grandpa, you won't step in? You've got the Eastern Emperor Bell; why won't you fight alongside me?" Wei Chen felt a bit frustrated. How could this old man take advantage of him and then refuse to acknowledge it?
The Dark Mage grinned. "When the time comes that you need me, I'll naturally step in. You can rest assured about that. The Eastern Emperor Bell is a divine artifact; no matter what happens, I can't let its power go to waste! But right now, all I want is to hold my grandchild—that's my greatest wish!"
The Dark Mage's wish was simple and unpretentious. At that age, perhaps it was a natural expression of his desires.
Wei Chen understood and vanished into thin air.
...
At the top of the Soul World sky, several hundred thousand miles away from Soul World itself, Ji Mei was alone, exerting all her effort to refine the Heart of the World that Yan Qiqi had given her.
Although Ji Mei's strength was not particularly strong, her Sea Tribe affinity made her exceptionally suited for refining the Heart of the World within Soul World—something others could not compare to.
Yan Qiqi had not chosen Ji Mei without reason; she was indeed the most suitable person for refining the Heart of the World in all of Soul World. No one else could match Ji Mei's pace.
If Ji Mei continued at this rate, it would take about two months to complete the process.
"That Yan Qiqi is so powerful, able to extract a soul from a Spatial Plane and condense it into a Heart of the World. It's truly remarkable..."
"With that kind of strength, I could never catch up!"
"That Wei Chen fellow has had one stroke of luck after another, bringing so many Army to the Soul World and flaunting his power. It's worrying for so many people."
"Once I refine the Heart of the World from the Soul World, I will announce it to everyone, so they won't have to worry anymore."
"That bastard Wei Chen sends his woman to find me instead of coming himself. It's really too much!"
"But such a precious thing, the Heart of the World from the Soul World, which can allow someone to Ascend to Godhood and become the ruler of the Soul World. If he is willing to give it to me, what more could I ask for?"
"Wei Chen, oh Wei Chen, what are you so busy with? I miss you so much."
As Ji Mei refined and absorbed the Heart of the World from the Soul World, she murmured to herself, filled with a sense of loneliness.
"Ji Mei, how much do you miss me?"
A voice reached Ji Mei's ears.
Hearing that voice, Ji Mei was overjoyed. She was in the process of refining and absorbing the Heart of the World and couldn't stop; she could only turn her head toward the source of the voice.
A young man with a charming smile looked at her gently.
In an instant, Ji Mei's heart melted at Wei Chen's smile.
She longed to rise and give him a hug, to throw herself into his arms, but she couldn't interrupt the process of refining and absorbing the Heart of the World. Instead, she could only gaze intently at Wei Chen, taking in every detail of him repeatedly.
"Wei... Chen... are you... are you okay?"
Ji Mei trembled with excitement, her words coming out in a stutter.
Although, according to the time concept of the Soul World, it had only been seven or eight days since she last saw Wei Chen, the things Yan Qiqi had told her made her naturally project her own sense of time onto Wei Chen's, as if it had been hundreds of years since they last met.
It is only when one truly cares for another that such a sense of connection arises.
Ji Mei's feelings for Wei Chen needed no further explanation.
Often, a woman's thoughts are wonderfully complex; she wants to pay attention to you, understand your past, know how you have been, and even learn the minutiae of your daily life—what you eat and what you do. This desire for understanding stems from love.
When there is no love, nothing matters. But once love exists, everything becomes significant.
Seeing Ji Mei's expression and her trembling body, witnessing the deep affection in her eyes, Wei Chen felt a stirring in his heart.
As tears filled Ji Mei's eyes and large droplets rolled down her cheeks, Wei Chen's heart ached in response.
Ji Mei was his fiancée! Ji Pokong had long passed away, but he had intended for Ji Mei to marry Wei Chen. Given Ji Pokong's status at the time and his regard for Wei Chen, his words could be taken as a marriage contract.
Wei Chen forced a smile and knelt down in front of Ji Mei, using his sleeve to wipe away the hot tears on her face. He gazed deeply into her eyes and gently kissed her on that delicate yet resolute face.
With that kiss, Ji Mei's heart melted like spring water flowing gently eastward...
