Chapter 909 Son of a Lord

"Good heavens!"

Third Master's body stiffened instantly, his third leg dangling from a rope. His hands reached down, cradling the air as if holding precious jade, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Baby, baby, amazing baby!"

In this moment, it seemed only these simple words could express the tempest of emotions within Third Master's heart.

This wasn't just about being born a ninth-rank,

This meant that,

This Demon King's child,

Was unchained!

Before, it was only a guess, but now it was reality!

How terrifying would you be when your bloodline wasn't bound?

Even with their lord holding them back,

Even if he only inherited eighty percent of Fourth Madam's bloodline? No, seventy percent? No, even if it was only fifty percent!

When the power of the bloodline could develop normally,

Damn,

What fire phoenix bloodline,

What natural sword genius,

What pure spirit body,

All of you, get out of the way!

No one knew better than the Demon Kings themselves just how powerful their own bloodlines were.

This child,

Was their "paradise," their "dream," capable of bearing their hopes while avoiding the shackles they wore.

Ah-Ming's smile was radiant, too. The vampire, usually cold and aloof, now wore a smile filled with obvious ferocity.

He'll like drinking wine, right?

He'll like drinking...blood, right?

The Blind Man was a bit more reserved, but his face was taut, clearly struggling to restrain his inner excitement.

Look,

Look at the way these Demon Kings looked at this child,

It was different, truly different.

Even if this child wanted the moon,

The Demon King uncles would find a way to get it for him.

This child,

Was the key to fulfilling their long-cherished desires!

At this moment, only Zheng Fan, the father, asked with some concern,

"Is being ninth-rank like this good for the child?"

Zheng Fan remembered that when Sword Maid was little, she couldn't suppress her cultivation and advanced too quickly, and Sword Saint had forcefully extracted her cultivation to make her rebuild her foundation.

As a father, he definitely hoped his child would be successful, but he was more concerned about his child's health.

The Blind Man immediately said, "It's different, Lord. This child's bloodline is different, truly different. This isn't a spirit body, it's a bloodline. Not the added value of some royal bloodline, not even the remnants of a fire phoenix spirit body like in Chu. This is directly inheriting Fourth Madam… and your bloodline;

A pure second-generation bloodline, no doubt!"

Xue San also said, "Yes, Lord. It's like how a newborn phoenix is stronger than a full-grown pig."

Ah-Ming glared at Xue San.

Mo Wan then slammed into Xue San's chest,

"Bang!"

"Oh!"

Third Master landed, curled up.

"However, just to be safe, ninth-rank is enough, at least to ensure that he won't get sick easily, and it won't matter if he stumbles a bit.

But we still need to add a seal first."

"Seal?" Zheng Fan asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Lord. First, we'll seal the power of his bloodline, and then, as the child grows and his self-awareness and thinking mature, we'll gradually undo the seal.

Otherwise, if the power is too strong at the beginning…"

The Blind Man frowned,

And made an analogy:

"It would be like Fan Li times Fan Li."

Here, Fan Li was an adjective,

Meaning, the most boorish of the boorish.

His strength would exceed his ability to control it too early.

To put it simply,

Like if you used a sweet treat to tease a child,

An ordinary child would smile at you, reach out, wanting to eat, and cry if you didn't give it.

This child,

Might just knock you down with a punch,

And then put the sweet treat in his own mouth.

An ordinary child would pout when angry,

He might just stomp you to death.

"If we seal it, will there be any problems? Like, aftereffects?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Rest assured, Lord, there won't be any," the Blind Man explained. "This subordinate has studied some methods of Qi refiners, and has also studied Western magic through some books I purchased;

Although it's just basic stuff, the basics are enough.

Mo Wan's soul power will serve as a guide,

This subordinate's mental power will serve as a pointer,

Ah-Ming's blood will serve as a carrier,

Enough to seal the child without any side effects.

This seal doesn't need to be undone manually,

When he grows up and his strength increases, he can dissolve it himself.

To be precise,

This isn't a shackle, but a blessing, a true blessing."

San'er, who had finally recovered from the "dull punch" he had taken earlier,

Explained with a shameless smile:

"Lord, it's like building a house with the simplest blueprints, but using gold and silver instead of wood and stone for the materials.

Mo Wan will expend a great deal of his soul power,

Ah-Ming will have to give his essence blood,

And the Blind Man's mental guidance will also be immensely draining.

Even if they advance further afterward, it will take them two or three years to recover that blood.

But a seal made like this,

Will initially suppress the child's bloodline, and later, will serve as growth insurance for the child."

Clearly,

Whether it was Mo Wan, the Blind Man, or Ah-Ming, they would all pay a huge price for this;

But they were obviously willing, without haggling, without even hesitating.

This child was of great significance to them. It had been said long ago that he was not only Zheng Fan's child but also their own continuation. They were happy to give him some of their own things now.

The relationship of an heir to one's mantle was far greater than that of a bloodline heir.

And for the Demon Kings,

This was a step from comics to reality, and then to leaving a real mark in reality, making its significance even more extraordinary.

No matter how much they joked, cursed, or acted strangely on a daily basis, they could not change the fact that they were lonely.

Of course, what was even clearer was the Demon Kings' double standards.

If the Demon Kings' strength hadn't been as great as it was now back then, when Tian Tian was born;

Then why hadn't anyone mentioned this when Da Niu was born before?

But as soon as Fourth Madam's child was born, everyone immediately came forward to give.

However, at least this wasn't sexism… it was purely because of the difference in the mother clan.

As the child's biological father, Zheng Fan stood on the side,

Looking at these Demon Kings with eager gleams in their eyes,

He suddenly thought of how the late Emperor of Yan had annihilated Xiao Liu Zi's mother's clan, the Min family, in advance to prevent the possibility of maternal relatives interfering in politics;

His own son's mother clan…

It wasn't even a question of whether he needed to worry about this,

But because Zheng Fan knew that he could get to this point, although there were factors that belonged to his own performance, fundamentally, it was because he had these seven Demon Kings assisting him;

Therefore, right now, his son's mother clan was directly his father's founding team…

When his son grew up, unless he wanted to be a free-spirited playboy who indulged in nature, as long as he showed the slightest desire to inherit the family fortune, how could the other children compete with him?

If it were any other superior, he might be plunged into deep worry at this moment. In the struggle for power, even between father and son, there was no affection to speak of, and it could even become more bloody;

But fortunately, Zheng Fan didn't care much about this, and the Demon Kings didn't care much either. Everyone's aesthetic had long transcended the perspective of pure power struggles.

Besides, who knew what would happen in the future?

"So, when do we start the sealing?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Right now," the Blind Man said. "The sooner, the better. Uh… it could have been later, but now, it has to start immediately, because…"

"Because of what?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Because…" the Blind Man hesitated, "Because that's the safest."

Mo Wan, floating on the side, widened his empty eye sockets even more, deliberately facing away from Zheng Fan.

What else could it be but because of his feeding!

He had fed his soul power before the child was even born, causing the child's bloodline to develop much earlier than expected.

But the Blind Man was obviously taking care of Mo Wan, and didn't say it.

"Then I'll go out… and reassure everyone."

"Thank you, Lord."

"How long will it take?"

"An hour, at most an hour."

"Alright."

Zheng Fan glanced at his son, surrounded by a group of Demon King uncles and brothers, and then at Fourth Madam. Fourth Madam nodded to Zheng Fan and said,

"Don't worry, Lord. I'll keep a close eye on my child."

"Okay."

Soon after,

The King walked out of the delivery room.

The crowd outside had been waiting anxiously, but because of Fan Li's obstruction, no one could enter.

"The child is fine, being cleaned up. Everyone, wait a little longer. Xiao Yi-Bo, go to the front hall and greet the people. Also, send someone to inform Fengxin City, no, inform Jindong, inform the entire world that my Pingxi King's Mansion has an heir."

The heir of a King should be appointed by the imperial court. Before that, he cannot be called an heir.

Heir was more of an official position.

But with the "little princess" before,

The entire King's Mansion, and the entire Jindong, had naturally omitted the procedure long ago.

When Ji Chuanye was born, the Emperor personally went there. This was a symbol, symbolizing the appearance of the third generation of the Ji family, which had extremely high political significance.

And it was the same here in the Pingxi King's Mansion. There were many people waiting for news outside, and many generals who had returned to Fengxin to report for duty were waiting in the front hall. They were waiting for news of the young master.

Zheng Fan pointed to the pair of Hu Lu Temple master and disciple standing in the corner.

The two masters immediately walked over and respectfully put their palms together.

"I would also like to trouble the two masters to go in and bestow blessings."

The old and young monks looked at each other, their eyes filled with obvious joy;

The Son of a Lord was blessed by them, blessed by them. This karma was overflowing.

The two monks were flattered and bowed to Zheng Fan again and again. Then, after Fan Li made way, they walked into the delivery room.

The reason for letting these two monks in was to offset the outside world's speculation about this period of time.

Cleaning the child and bestowing blessings would definitely take a lot of time, which coincided with the time for the "sealing".

After all, there were so many eyes watching here.

Some secrets could be made public, but some secrets had to be concealed, such as the relationship between himself and the Demon Kings, and the relationship between his son and the Demon Kings.

Immediately,

Zheng Fan sat down,

And called out to the several male entertainers:

"Continue the music, continue the dance."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The pipa music sounded, and the two male entertainers began to dance.

"Hahahaha."

The King's laughter was heard from time to time.

At first, it was a bit abrupt;

But soon,

Xiong Liqing took Liu Ruqing's hand and walked to the King's side, chatting with the King and laughing.

Immediately afterward,

Tian Tian also began to applaud.

In fact, everyone wanted to see the child as soon as possible, but Fan Li stood there like a mountain, making it clear that they were not allowed to enter.

Thinking of the gentlemen who had rushed into the delivery room earlier, as family members, they should have a good idea of what was going on inside.

However, since they were family members, they had to cooperate with the King at this time.

Here,

They were doing their best to play along, leading the servants of the King's Mansion to "celebrate" as well.

Outside,

After learning that the Pingxi King's Mansion had an heir, it directly became an ocean of celebration.

The issue of His Highness's children had always been a concern for the soldiers and civilians of Fengxin City. Now, everyone could finally put their minds at ease.

The generals waiting for news in the front hall clenched their fists even more.

It was just that the King himself didn't come out,

And they hadn't seen the little Son of a Lord either,

So, apart from clenching their fists and shouting again and again, they couldn't do anything else.

However, the transmission of news was not delayed at all.

Messengers went straight out of the city gate of Fengxin City and headed in all directions,

In any case,

The Pingxi King's Mansion in Fengxin City was already recognized as a force that could influence the situation in Zhuxia,

Its heir had finally appeared, which was bound to be a major event.

…

In the small courtyard next to the King's Mansion, the Star Constellation Attendants, who were still imprisoned but had been freed from their shackles, were sitting there cross-legged and meditating.

One of the old men,

Suddenly opened his eyes at this moment,

With a bitter and desperate look on his face:

"The aura… has risen."

At the same time,

Deep in the dungeon of the King's Mansion,

The black-armored man who was still bound by heavy iron chains,

Silently opened one eye at this moment,

Within his eyes,

Stars seemed to be flowing,

Muttering:

"Changed… has it…"

When all the servants and royal guards knelt down on the way:
“Long live Your Highness, long live The Heir!”

After Zheng Fan walked into the front hall with his child in his arms,
Jin Shuke and the other people had been waiting for a long time. Once seeing the King with his child, the rest of the generals that had been waiting quickly paid their respect:
“Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to The Heir.”

Zheng Fan took his seat at the head with his child,
With a smile, he said:
"You guys have waited for a long time."

At this time,
Among the generals kneeling on the ground, the one at the front Jin Shuke looked up;
He was just given the title of Master to the Son of Jingnan Prince and the Heir,
Which meant that in the future, once the Heir takes his rightful place, he could not escape the Honor of being the Emperor’s Advisor.

In truth, Zheng Fan only made this arrangements to compensate the ones who have worked diligently since Jin Shuke’s military force had been taken away, and did not over think it.

For Jin Shuke,
He felt like the King had given him an opportunity, and should be more careful, especially on which side he stood, he had to be clear on what he had to do.

The Emperor’s Advisor, will you really be loyal to the Yan Dynasty?
Thus,
A usually cautious Jin Shuke, today had the rare opportunity of being the ring leader of this, of course, he had the qualifications for this.
“Your Highness, all of us, all of us have something to strive for!”

While saying this,
Jin Shuke pressed his fist to his chest,
All of the generals behind him used the same gesture to pledge their oath:
“We pledge to follow Your Highness, pledge to follow the Heir to death!”

They were pledging,
But no one called out long live.
In the situation, it was not as taboo as when his daughter was born.

But Zheng Fan sitting in the head chair would not naively think that the generals under his command have become obedient.

Previously, they had called out because they wanted to hasten this event.

Right now,
They have not become obedient, or have become quiet,
But because after the confirmation of the birth of the Heir,
They naturally thought that, there was no need to hurry to call it out;
Slowly do,
Naturally, it will happen!

…

In the small courtyard next to the Prince’s Mansion, a group of constellation guides who were still detained but had been released from their shackles were sitting there cross-legged in meditation.
One of the old men,
Suddenly opened his eyes at this moment,
With a bitter and desperate look on his face:
“The aura… has risen.”

At the same time,
Deep in the dungeon of the Prince’s Mansion,
The black-armored man who was still bound by heavy iron chains,
Silently opened one eye at this moment,
Within his eyes,
Stars seemed to be flowing,
Muttering:
“Changed… has it…”
