Chapter 1830: Chapter 261: Fear

"So... after having a child, would you still love me?"

Tang Luo stared at Yun Xiu’s eyes, filled with anxious unease, and asked after being dazed for about half an hour.

"???

Yun Xiu was dumbstruck. She had envisioned countless scenarios where Tang Luo would be overjoyed upon hearing the news, but never imagined the current scenario of a weak inquiry.

She extended her hand and lightly pressed it against the man’s cheek, as if touching a piece of cold ice.

In those eyes, bright as stars, were millions of emotions, complicating all the joy.

Yun Xiu suddenly felt a pang of tenderness, "Isn’t your husband happy to have a child?"

"It’s not that I’m unhappy."

Realizing his overreaction, Tang Luo’s body temperature began to rise. He raised his hand to cover the woman’s hand, which had gone cold in just a short while, and explained stammeringly, "I just feel that women in this world don’t care about their husbands much after having children. Besides, I don’t know ’him,’ so what’s there to be happy about?"

The childish words made Yun Xiu laugh out loud, "I originally thought my husband would be very fond of children."

"How can it be the same!"

Tang Luo was frustrated, "Of course, it’s enjoyable to play with cute children, but raising a child is a different story! What if we don’t raise him well?"

"I’m sure you will be a good father, I believe in you."

Yun Xiu’s brows were like the moon, comforting him with a smile.

"Rubbish!"

Tang Luo wasn’t buying any of it, shaking his head like a rattle, "Let me tell you, I won’t be a good father. I have many things to do! I need to explore the world, build the world, develop Unparalleled City and Unparalleled Academy, and I have to rebuild the Tang Clan. Maybe I’ll even need to fight against Human Kings of other sects and holy lands. I won’t have time for that little guy!

Also, even if I have time, I’d prefer to study the rules. So, I’m telling you upfront! I’m sure I won’t be a good dad, be careful of widow-like parenting and marriage!"

"No problem."

Yun Xiu smiled brightly, "I can handle these things myself, and I’ll tell the child how remarkable ’his’ father is."

"Remarkable, my foot! You better understand, I’m not joking. I really can’t help much with this!"

Tang Luo felt Yun Xiu clearly hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation, shaking the woman’s shoulders, "Also, just imagine if we don’t teach him well and he becomes a bad person, a bully. If he ends up offending someone he shouldn’t, and they come knocking, in that situation, would you support reason or family? Although I understand the logic, I’d certainly be biased.

In the end, if things get out of hand, many people will die! Many, many people!"

To make Yun Xiu understand the seriousness, Tang Luo deliberately intensified his tone.

But who would be intimidated by his feeble display?

After Yun Xiu swiftly knocked off Tang Luo’s hands, she patted her husband’s fiercely pounding heart and lightly laughed, "Please rest assured, I will educate the child well, ensuring ’he’ doesn’t become a bad person!"

"It’s your first time being a mother, where does your confidence come from!"

Tang Luo didn’t believe Yun Xiu’s promise at all, then seemed to remember something, and shivered all over.

Like discovering a new land, the man stared intensely at the woman’s eyes.

Although Yun Xiu didn’t possess top-tier intelligence, Tang Luo’s gaze was too obvious, somewhat insulting. She rolled her eyes dramatically, turned around, and left quickly, leaving only a scent of fragrance.

"Hey! Don’t go, I find this idea very creative, let’s talk..."

Behind the desk, Tang Luo’s feet seemed paralyzed, desperately stretching out his arms to call back the woman, but only received an ever more distant silhouette.

Indeed, women can’t be relied upon!

Tang Luo slumped back into his chair, stroking his chin, pondering if there was any exemplary father nearby worth consulting.

Perhaps Yun Xiu’s pregnancy news was too shocking, consuming all of Tang Luo’s thoughts, so much so that he forgot something truly urgent was happening at present.

...

Dragon Continent Calendar, April 13, 1796

Tang Cunfu ultimately couldn’t stop everyone, fueled by Xiao Ziyu’s enthusiasm, many clan members wanted to see the light of day.

Thus, a team of several thousand emerged from the mountains of Chengzhou.

This team was primarily composed of members of the Xiao Family, and some descendants of the Longxi Alliance.

When they emerged from the mountains, they caught the attention of interested parties.

Two sorcerers from Zhongzhou traveled from afar, urgently needing to gain fame in Longzhou. And was there anything more motivating than defeating the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster?

During Longzhou’s attack on the Tang Clan, not just the Void Grandmaster rose to fame, but also the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster, who maneuvered across eight thousand miles, truly stepping above all renowned grandmasters with the status of a family grandmaster.

So, if Zhu Liu and Zhu Jiang could kill the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster, wouldn’t it prove that the heritage of Wushen Mountain was more impressive than the sects of Longzhou?

Zhu Huolong’s plan to undermine Unparalleled Academy’s foundation undoubtedly failed. Even if Zhu Liu and Zhu Jiang were overly arrogant, they knew they couldn’t undermine an academy with Human Kings.

But if they couldn’t shake Unparalleled City, would Wushen Academy not develop? Clearly impossible, as the two sorcerers couldn’t wait to find an opportunity to become celebrated in Longzhou.

Within Wushen Academy, Grand Sorcerer Zhu Liu, and Great Sorcerer Zhu Jiang summoned twelve true disciples and called upon academy students three years, gathering them at the mountaintop.

"In the Longzhou attack on Tang, the evil head was eliminated, but his arm, the Xiao Family, still remained hidden in Chengzhou mountains due to the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster."

"Our Wushen Academy is the leader of Zhongzhou’s righteous sects, and cannot tolerate such an evil clan passing through. Hence, we decided to organize students for an ambush. Anyone willing to go to battle, step forward!"

Zhu Liu stood with hands clasped, and glanced sternly at those on the mountain, his words were both an inquiry and a test.

Though Wushen Mountain decided to emulate the worldly approach of Red Cloud Mountain, fundamentally, it was to expand the sect.

Did the world truly believe the Superior Heavenly Sect was greedy for the random tuition fee from itinerant cultivators?

In Zhu Liu’s eyes, the qualifications of these itinerant cultivators were similarly inferior, the only difference being whether they were willing to contribute their loyalty and strength to Wushen Mountain. At present, an excellent touchstone was available.

The academy students gathered at the mountain were suddenly bewildered, but many quickly comprehended.

For many itinerant cultivators, Wushen Mountain was undoubtedly an unmatched, stout backing. If they could fight a battle and advance, why hesitate to fight?

Thus, before the twelve true disciples, numerous academy students eagerly stepped forward.

Of course, some inherently aware of the severity, or relatively cowardly disciples retreated silently.

Within several breaths, hundreds of disciples formed two distinct rows in Zhu Liu’s sight, clearly separated front and back.
