Chapter 183: Lan Ming Past Part 3
Hearing his story, Qin couldn't help but stay silent. He didn't even know how to comfort him. After all, he made the enemy with those beasts after attacking them. And, it triggered Lan Ming's fear even more. He took a deep breath and patted Lan Ming's shoulder.
"Sometimes, we can't fight against some people. No matter how much hatred we have, we are often helpless to do anything. But, not this time. This time is different. You are different. You have the knowledge, and now a new talent."
"More importantly, you still have us. We are not going to abandon you in the middle. Since we have started this, we finish it. You said these creatures hunt down the worlds, right? We don't need to go and search for them. They will come for us."
"They are not invincible. They are just stronger than current us. And, tomorrow will be different. Because tomorrow's us will be stronger than today's us."
Hearing his words, Lan Ming still stayed silent. He understood what Qin was trying to say. But, he knew just how difficult it can be.
"There would be hundreds of those. That was just a child sealed after its birth."
"So what? We will ten at a time. And, they can't come down. But, we can go up. Those barriers, we will split them apart. We will visit new worlds. And, when they, we will be ready to face them." Qin immediately replied as soon as he heard Lan Ming's words.
Lan Ming raised his head and stared at Qin.
"Then, let's get stronger!"
Qin finally let out a big smile on his lips.
Thud!
"Brother Qin!" Suddenly, the door opened and Guo Min rushed inside. He embraced Qin and shuttered.
"Xing. Hehe isn't waking up.."
His words made Qin's expression change. But, he quickly calmed down and patted Guo Min's head. At this moment, even Zhao Tan has accepted Guan Xing as his brother. Guo Min was even closer to him. He understands why Guo Min was so scared.
"Don't worry, he will wake up. And, when he wakes up, he will be stronger than before."
Saying so, Qin turned his head at Lan Ming and tilts his head. Lan Ming took a deep breath and nodded his head. Three of them leave the room and walk towards Guan Xing's bed.
In another room,
"Father, tell me, is this reason why you told me to be his wife?" Tan Xinyi stood in front of her father and asked while running her bloodline. After dual cultivating with Qin, she had awakened Lightning Dragon Bloodline which surprised all three of them.
But, Tan Jian and Tan Gengxin didn't awaken anything.
Looking at his daughter, Tan San smiled and spoke "Do you think I want the Family Head Position so much? I don't care about it at all. But, I had no other way to do this. You have potential far more than any ordinary genius but that potential was hidden in your bloodline."
"From your birth, you couldn't awaken the bloodline. The part of the reason was me. Since I couldn't awaken the Great Tan Bloodline, it could inspire your bloodline. That is your mother's bloodline. But, I knew if you do it with someone with Great Tan Bloodline, then you might be able to awaken."
"I saw his Great Tan Bloodline. Great Elder saw his sword talent. And, Tan Ming saw .. nothing. He literally nothing. It was Gengxin who saw his child's potential. I knew how much you liked cultivation but your potential was always holding you back."
"Sorry daughter, but I couldn't think of another way to help you and help the clan."
Tan Xinyi remained calm after hearing his explanation. She raised her finger and asked, "So, you never wanted me to marry Qin for the sake of heir?"
"Are you kidding me? Why would I care about this stupid position? As long as you are strong, the position doesn't matter." Tan San spoke with disdain but suddenly his eyes as his daughter jumped into his embrace.
"Thank you! Thank you so much, dad! You are the best." Tan Xinyi embraced her dad and spill her happiness.
"Wait, you are not angry?" Tan San was dumbfounded when his daughter thanked him. He thought his daughter will get angry at him for lying to her.
Tan Xinyi slowly got off his embrace and shook her head "I am not angry. You never made a decision that will harm me. I know you blame yourself for your mother but you were not wrong. I and Gengxin do not need a mother. We still have fathers and that's all we need."
"And, we are already grateful to have at least father. Jian doesn't even have a father or mother. For her, grandfather is her parent. Looking at her, I feel grateful to have you as my father."
"Dad.. stop. Stop don't.."
"Waaaaaa!" The next moment, Tan San grabbed his daughter in his embrace and started crying like a child. Her shoulder got wet with his tears. Slowly, he calmed down and spoke.
"You've grown up.. Now even if I go to the mountain and become a sage, it won't change anything."
"Come on, father! Stop acting like a baby. You are not going to become a sage. You know what? Go to the brothel. I don't care. Just stop thinking about becoming a sage. And, I am leaving soon." Tan Xinyi rolled her eyes and jumped back from his embrace.
"Wait what? Where are you going?" Tan San immediately wiped away his tears and asked with surprise in his tone.
"Obviously, I am going with Qin. Inside the Secret Realm, we decided on something. I and Jian will go together with him and slowly become lovers. But, Gengxin didn't follow us. She should be pregnant as well. Well, Tan Family will have a new heir with Tan Bloodline soon."
"And, don't worry, a senior was able to sense its gender. That child is a man. So, you won't have any difficult situation for choosing a leader. Gengxin will stay at the family, raise him and slowly train him to become a leader."
"I and Jian will travel the world with Qin. And, try our best to keep up." Tan Xinyi explained everything. She didn't even try to hide the pregnancy of Gengxin.
"Wait, what? Gengxin is pregnant? But, doesn't it take five months to even know whether the girl will get pregnant or not. And, who is this senior?" Tan San's lips twitched when he heard her.
"I don't know how it works. Qin said Gengxin will get pregnant and that senior told us it will be a boy. As for who that senior is, I don't know how to say this. He is a sword but he can talk. So, he might be a divine weapon but he thinks like a person rather than a weapon." Tan Xinyi felt a little embarrassed while talking about pregnancy and these kinds of stuff.
"Alright! Alright! But, when do you plan to give me a grandkid?" Tan San asked with a smirk on his face.
"You know what? I am outta here." Tan Xinyi turned around and left. Tan San smiled but didn't stop her from leaving. He reached out of his pocket and took out a locket. He opened the locket and a small poster of a woman was there.
"It seems I have fulfilled my promise. Now, am I free?"
Asking her, Tan San smiled became bitter.
"You left me too early. But now, I am no longer sad. I can't be too obsessed. But, I will love you forever."
Saying so, he puts the locket back in his pocket and muttered "Maybe I should go to the brothel."
"I don't know how much can I last with my stamina?"
On another side,
Inside the room, Qin and others were standing next to the bed. In the bed, Guan Xing and Qiu Yu were lying with their eyes closed.
"There must be a way to heal them, right?" Qin turned his head at Lan Ming and asked.
Lan Ming rubbed his chin and spoke "I haven't visited the Saint Domain. But, I am pretty sure they have a few Saint Rank Phoenixes. If we can ask for blood essence of a Saint Rank Phoenix, then we might be able to heal them."
"But, first, we need to keep them alive until we reach them."
Saying so, he turned at Chu Xieyi and said "We might need your help."
"Speak!" At this moment, Chu Xieyi no longer showed her arrogance. Although she didn't consider them friends, she didn't want them to die especially when Guo Yang treats Guan Xing as his friend.
Lan Ming was slightly surprised but he quickly nodded his head and said "I want you to create absolute zero with your ice and freeze them. If you keep them frozen in absolute zero, they won't melt unless we burn with them with flames of a star which I have."
"I can do that but to create absolute zero. I need a massive amount of qi. Even the Qi from the upcoming Comet won't be enough. And, there is another restriction. I need that much Qi at once. This means I can't just simply absorb Qi first and then create absolute zero. I need that much energy at once."
Her words instantly brought silence to the room.
"I might be able to do that. But, this also has restrictions." Suddenly, Tan Ge spoke which surprised everyone and they stared at him with confusion.
Tan Ge took a deep breath and spoke "If I approach my maximum speed, I can generate immense but pure lightning energy without any destructive potential.. If we can find a way to help her absorb that energy, she might get enough energy to absolute zero."
