I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

Zhao Chen'an's voice was gentle and clear, echoing in the bustling main hall.

The four women's gazes were instantly drawn to the four magical artifacts floating in his palm.

The two longevity locks were quite different; one shimmered with silver light and crackled with electric arcs, while the other gleamed with crimson gold and was shaped like a coiled dragon.

The two bracelets were contrasting: one was a deep, dark purple, dotted with starlight; the other was crystal clear, exuding warmth.

Each piece was radiant and exuded extraordinary spiritual energy, clearly indicating that it was of high quality.

"This is for Xiao'er."

With a slight thought, Zhao Chen'an sent the silver longevity lock, which was flashing with lightning, slowly drifting towards Wulanxue.

Wulanxue quickly reached out and carefully caught it.

"This lock is called 'Thunder Attractor'. It is made of celestial gold called 'Thunder Gold' and has a thunder-attracting array engraved inside."

"Xiao'er possesses the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body. Wearing this lock will not only nourish his physique, but also automatically activate thunder to protect him when he encounters danger."

Upon hearing this, Wulanxue carefully held the longevity lock to her chest, nodded emphatically to Zhao Chen'an, and her eyes reddened slightly.

She wasn't good with words, but her heart was overflowing with gratitude and love.

She gently hung the longevity lock around Zhao Xiao's neck.

A strange thing happened.

The moment the Longevity Lock touched Zhao Xiao's skin, the originally gentle lightning patterns seemed to be activated, lighting up fine silver arcs of electricity.

The electric arc enveloped Zhao Xiao's small body, but instead of being violent, it conveyed a sense of intimacy.

Instead of crying, Zhao Xiao giggled and reached out her little hand to curiously grab the jumping arcs of electricity.

"Next up is Ding'er's."

Zhao Chen'an looked at Liu Ruoshuang, and the crimson gold dragon-shaped longevity lock flew away with her.

Liu Ruoshuang reached out and took it; it felt heavy in her hand, and a majestic aura emanated from it.

"This lock is made primarily of 'Imperial Dragon Gold,' infused with my essence and fortune. When Ding'er wears it, he can ward off evil and bring good luck, protecting him from all evil influences. Furthermore, it can subtly nourish his intelligent mind, making his thoughts even sharper."

As Liu Ruoshuang's fingertips traced the lifelike little dragon on the lock, a wave of emotion surged within her.

A ritual implement infused with essence, blood, and vital energy is almost equivalent to closely connecting a part of oneself with the child.

This sentiment is as heavy as a mountain.

She looked up and gave Zhao Chen'an a deep look, her clear, cold eyes filled with complex and profound emotions.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

She placed the longevity lock on Zhao Ding's head.

The golden light of the longevity lock complemented Zhao Ding's innate calm and wisdom, making him even more extraordinary.

Little Zhao Ding sat quietly in his mother's lap, his clear eyes unblinking, as if he were studying this novel gift.

Then, Zhao Chen'an turned his gaze to Li Qingluan.

"Qingluan, this is for Zixing."

The dark purple bracelet floated to Li Qingluan's side.

"I named this bracelet 'Star Connection'."

"In addition to its basic defensive functions, I inscribed an ancient restriction on it. No matter where Zixing is, as long as she wears it, I can sense her safety."

Li Qingluan was shocked.

The destiny of the Purple Demon Star is the biggest thorn in her heart.

She was constantly worried that something might happen to her daughter.

Zhao Chen'an's gift undoubtedly gave her the most effective reassurance.

Her eyes instantly reddened, and her hand trembled slightly as she took the bracelet.

"Your Highness...this humble servant..."

"We're husband and wife, there's no need to say these things," Zhao Chen'an gently interrupted her.

Li Qingluan nodded vigorously and put the "Star Connection" bracelet on her daughter Zhao Zixing's fair wrist.

The bracelet automatically adjusts to a smaller size for a perfect fit.

The dark purple starlight made Zhao Zixing's skin appear even whiter and more adorable.

The little girl waved her arms, and the twinkling lights on the bracelet swayed, which she found fascinating, making her babble even more happily.

Finally, Zhao Chen'an looked at Xiao Chuchu.

"Chuchu, this is prepared for Lanyu."

The crystal-clear jade bracelet, which seemed to contain a small sun, flew into Xiao Chuchu's hand.

"This bracelet is named 'Spirit Guardian' and is made by fusing Spirit Nourishing Jade and Sun Stone."

"A small space has been carved out inside, which can be used to store living creatures."

"Lan Yu has a special destiny and will surely be accompanied by various spirit beasts in the future. This bracelet is perfect for her."

"Moreover, the extreme yang energy of the sunstone is also very beneficial to the growth of spirit beasts."

Xiao Chuchu was simple-minded to begin with, and upon hearing about such a wonderful gift, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Thank you, my husband!"

She placed the jade bracelet on Zhao Lanyu's wrist while she was still fast asleep.

The little golden bird that was perched beside it seemed to sense something. It suddenly opened its eyes, curiously leaned forward, and gently pecked at the jade bracelet with its tiny beak.

hum!

A soft, warm light emanated from the jade bracelet, enveloping the golden bird.

The little bird squinted its eyes comfortably and let out a clear, melodious chirp, appearing to be thoroughly enjoying itself.

The family was enjoying a happy time together, and the main hall was filled with warmth and joy.

Holding Zhao Ding in her arms, Liu Ruoshuang watched this scene unfold before her, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Her gaze lingered on Zhao Chen'an, unable to look away for a long time.

This man is hiding his true nature very well.

How long did it take him to go from a spoiled prince who couldn't cultivate and spent his days indulging in pleasure to the current number one on the list of geniuses, shining brightly?

In just a few months!

The top-grade cultivation techniques and martial arts skills he presented brought about a qualitative leap in the strength of the Great Zhou royal family.

The "Sacred-grade Alchemist" he casually introduced solved Tianjian Mountain's urgent problem.

Now, after only seven days of seclusion, he has personally crafted four top-grade yellow-rank magical artifacts with different effects and perfect quality!

Alchemy, weapon crafting... just how many trump cards does he still have up his sleeve?

Liu Ruoshuang's mind raced.

She suddenly connected all the clues.

Zhao Chen'an's own extraordinary rise to power.

The four offspring each possessed a divine body, a Dao embryo, and a destiny bestowed upon them; each was an unparalleled genius, one in ten thousand.

And then there are his endless stream of mysterious methods.

All of this is no accident!

A terrifying thought arose in her mind.

Zhao Daoting had gone to great lengths to try and marry Zhao Chen'an.

It is quite possible that the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not due to this exceptionally gifted emperor!

It was her husband, who had been overlooked for many years!

He is the chosen one who will lead the Great Zhou Dynasty to glory!

Ancient books from the Jixia Academy record that in prosperous dynasties, the talents of the royal offspring would also increase.

But there has never been a precedent like Zhao Chen'an, whose offspring are all so extraordinary!

This can no longer be explained by mere good fortune.

This is a kind of... a kind of great power that is almost like "Tao"!

She originally thought that marrying into the Prince of Wei's mansion was a sacrifice made for the sake of the academy.

Now it seems that this is clearly the greatest blessing in her life, and even for the entire Jixia Academy!

With him around, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty not rise to the status of an imperial dynasty?

No, it's not just the imperial dynasty!

Liu Ruoshuang's fingers tightened slightly as she held the longevity lock.

Perhaps, the Celestial Empire, or even the legendary Holy Dynasty, is not so far away after all!
