I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 937 Side Story: Prodigies of Various Races
There were many people on the hearse, and the sounds were quite mixed.

After listening for a while, Lü Wuyong realized that most people were talking about the same topic—the Lingxi Gathering.

"The Spirit Rhinoceros Gathering is being held on the mortal continent?" Lu Wuyong asked subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, before Lü Bufan could even reply, these words had already attracted strange looks from several people around him.

His gaze was as if he were looking at some country bumpkin from some remote corner.

"What kind of time is this to still have people using the old name 'Mortal Continent'?"

"At such an advanced age, he's only a two-star Ghost Master, and his ghostly aura is mottled. No wonder he's so ignorant."

"I guess they're some old fogies whose brains were damaged by the spiritual poison."

These whispers left Lü Wuyong with mixed feelings. Rather than being angry, he was more moved by the fact that times had changed, but the spiritual masters were still as sharp-tongued as ever, so that everything wouldn't feel completely unfamiliar when he woke up.

Lu Bufan was surprised that his hot-tempered father did not refute him.

The people speaking weren't very interested in them, and after a few words they went off to talk about other things.

Not wanting to cause any further trouble, Lü Bufan took Lü Wuyong to the second level of the spirit ship.

"Father, have you forgotten what I just told you? The mortal continent used to be called the Eternal Dream Continent. The Spirit Rhinoceros appeared in the Spirit Flower Pavilion on the Eternal Dream Continent ten years ago and has been rooted there ever since. The Spirit Rhinoceros Grand Gathering ten years later is also being held in the Spirit Flower Pavilion."

"Understood," Lü Wuyong replied perfunctorily, his gaze constantly scanning his surroundings, growing increasingly surprised and suspicious. There were far too many young spiritual children on this ship, and the number of spiritual masters from both the Yin and Yang lineages was roughly the same, yet they mingled together without any conflict.

"Bu Fan." A female spirit master walked towards them, first calling out to Lü Bu Fan, then pausing when she saw Lü Wu Yong, and calling out, "Father."

This is Lü Bufan's wife, Lü Xiuyan.

Lu Wuyong's pupils contracted again. Lu Xiuyan, who was just a child spirit before her seclusion, was now a three-star spirit master with a higher cultivation level than him.

A boy of about ten years old was also with Lu Xiuyan.

“This is…” Lu Wuyong began to make a guess.

Lu Xiuyan's words confirmed his guess: "Xiaocong, this is Grandpa."

"Hello, Grandpa," Lü Xiaocong greeted Lü Wuyong politely and gracefully.

Lu Wuyong scrutinized Lu Xiaocong, his eyes growing brighter with each look. "Excellent! At such a young age, he has already awakened his spiritual awareness and reached the mid-level of spiritual cultivation! My Lu family has produced a prodigy!"

His voice was quite loud, drawing the attention of those around him, especially those interested in the 'prodigy' he mentioned.

Lu Xiaocong blushed instantly and quickly cried out, "Grandpa, I'm not some kind of prodigy, please don't say that!"

Lu Wuyong snorted, "How can it not count? To be able to resist spiritual poison and cultivate at the age of ten is extremely rare throughout history. Anyone who survives the process will surely become a powerful figure!"

"Ahem." Lü Bufan quickly stopped Lü Wuyong, afraid that he would say something even more shocking.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late; the people around him were already feeling the urge to compare themselves to Lu Wuyong's boastful words.

"Hmph! Another old man who can't do anything himself but puts pressure on his kids."

"So what if he's a mid-level spirit child at ten years old? My Yu'er was already a high-level spirit child at thirteen!"

"Which of the children who boarded the ship today isn't a prodigy? Only those with the ability to obtain the Spirit Rhinoceros Flower Branch and become a child of heaven, or those who are admitted to the Night Wanderer Academy, can truly be praised as geniuses!"

"The threshold for Night Tour Academy is still too high. It would be good to be able to enter any sect of the Throne faction."

"You all went to the Spirit Rhinoceros Gathering for the sake of the young disciples, but I'm different. I'm going for myself. This year, I'm going to join Beast City and the Nightblade Riders."

The conversation became so engaging that it turned into a group chat, and everyone ignored Lü Wuyong, who had started the topic.

Lu Wuyong stared blankly at the lively scene once again, watching as Yang Spirit Masters and Yin Spirit Masters became friends on the spot because they talked about the same destination, and seeing the young teenagers gradually gathering together to talk about their expectations for the future. Even the most reserved children were affected by the atmosphere, their eyes shining brightly.

With Lü Xiuyan's permission, Lü Xiaocong ran into the group of children and found his friends.

"Hey, Tianjiao Xiaocong!" his friends teased him when they saw him.

Lu Xiaocong, embarrassed and angry, started wrestling with him.

Others saw it but didn't stop it.

Lu Wuyong was afraid that his family's little genius had been secretly harmed, and he tried to stop it, but Lu Xiuyan stopped him.

"Dad, it's alright, they're friends."

"What good are friends? How much true affection can there be in this world?"

This time it was Lü Bufan who spoke, “Father, even if you don’t believe in human kindness, you should at least believe in the law. This is the Kaiyun Shipping Spirit Ship under Yongmeng Township. No one will challenge the law here. If someone does commit a crime, we won’t need to take action; the legend will resolve it.”

As it turned out, Lü Bufan and his friends were right. Lü Xiaocong and his friends were just pretending to spar and play around, and they didn't hurt each other.

dong dong dong ——

The bell rang three times in succession.

The boat has set sail.

More than ten days later.

The spirit ship reached the sea area where a single thread of mist connected them.

Everyone who received the news rushed to the deck.

The Lü Wuyong family lived on the edge of the second floor.

The Lü Wuyong of today is no longer the same person who was completely unaware of the changes in the world just over ten days ago. He has learned about the changes on the mainland over the past ten years through the books and imitation Night Tour newspapers given to him by Lü Xiuyan.

If it weren't for the reality right before our eyes, it would be hard to imagine that just ten years could change everything.

At this moment, the sea area connected by a single thread of mist is filled with countless spirit ships.

Some are simple and small in appearance, while others are tall and majestic, or even have a monster as their base...

Thousands.

It was far more lively and prosperous than he remembered when the Lingxi Festival was held in Lingzhou.

A figure appeared in the sky at the very front.

She was dressed in armor, with a long spear on her back, and sat astride a tiger-like monster with two pairs of black wings.

"It's Winged Spear Mi Rokuyu!"

"The beast she rides is the one Nightblade rides!"

"Oh my god, I wish I could be like her."

At this moment, Mi Liuyu's words had been transmitted to every spirit ship through the magical artifacts.

"Please line up in order."

The arriving hearses from all sides began to make their moves.

Arranged in an orderly manner.

Lu Wuyong asked in confusion, "Why are we queuing?"

Lu Bufan said, "The secret of the rules of the 'Misty Thread Connection' is mainly managed by the Silver Ring Mansion. There are not many spirit ships that can usually pass through, so everyone can apply for the answer. However, the Spirit Rhinoceros Gathering is a grand event that is jointly organized by the Yin and Yang lineages. It is also the first Spirit Rhinoceros Gathering after the Eternal Dream Era. It has gathered too many spirit ships to watch the event, so everyone has to pass through it all at once."

“That’s right, we’re lucky. We arrived just in time for the gate to open. As for those people from the Hopeless Plains over there, I asked them, and they arrived a day earlier and have been waiting here all day for nothing,” said the person standing next to them.

"The Plains of No Hope?" Lü Wuyong recalled the knowledge he had gained over the past ten days. "The Yang Meridian?"

He looked in the direction the man was pointing and saw a sea monster.

The sea monster, which wasn't particularly large, carried a rather simple load of stuff on its back, unlike other beast ships that carried tall towers and fortresses. Instead, it simply had a few futons placed in the open.

A tall, muscular man with thick hair stood at the front, while a man and a woman sat on a futon. Between them was a girl, and the woman was fixing the girl's hair.

The girl seemed very curious about her surroundings, and leaned out from between the two of them, allowing Lü Wuyong to see her face clearly.

She looked to be about eight or nine years old, with rosy lips and white teeth, and was very pretty and cute. It's not hard to imagine that she would grow up to be a beauty.

What's most captivating about her are her eyes, a brilliant amber color that seems to be filled with the morning sun.

She must be a child who has been endlessly pampered by her elders.

Their innocent appearance seemed unable to withstand any storms.

Lu Wuyong shook his head, feeling that this child probably had no future.

It's unclear whether his gaze lingered for too long or for some other reason that made the girl on the sea monster notice him.

The girl turned her head and made eye contact with Lü Wuyong, then gave him a bright smile.

"grandfather."

"grandfather?"

Lu Wuyong blinked and stared stiffly at Lu Xiaocong, who had called out to him.

Lu Xiaocong asked, "Grandpa, why are you sleeping standing up?"

Lu Wuyong trembled slightly, and looking at the girl as if recalling something, he found that she was no longer in sight, and the spirit ship fleet in the surrounding sea had changed.

"Has the 'Thread of Faith' been overcome?"

"correct."

Lü Wuyong: "..."

What kind of monster is that girl?!
"Yuyu, is there anything special about that old man?" Chiori asked the girl.

Li You said, "He's so naive, he seems to know nothing at all, even less than I do about the Eternal Dream Continent."

Chiori said with a mixture of affection and worry, "Why did you insist on coming to the Eternal Dream Continent? Although..."

Li You covered his ears, indicating that he didn't want to listen. "Now the whole world says that Night Wandering Academy is the number one academy. It has all kinds of knowledge, whether it is the secret cultivation methods of various races or other things. If our race wants to progress, we cannot be complacent. Even Uncle Li suggested that I go out of the Hopeless Plains and see the outside world."

“Li Jingsheng is not a good person, don’t always listen to him,” Qianzhi said.

Li You blinked her bright eyes and said, "I miss Qingxuan oppa too."

As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away tears, "Brother Qingxuan works so hard, working in Yongmeng Township, but he never forgets to send me local specialties."

Chiori: "..."

How can I tell Youyou that Qingxuan wasn't actually working, but rather that he had been captive for so many years?

That's it.

Considering that Qingxuan has been captured for so long but still hasn't forgotten to earn resources for his tribe, let's give him some face.
