"It's okay, it's just once."

Lingxi smiled palely and said weakly, "Go back now, your daughter has been born."

"The stars tell me that everything was preordained."

"Her name was already destined."

Lingxi didn't reveal her name to him because she wanted to test him.

Can fate be reversed?

Qian Xunhan rushed back, his mind filled with Lingxi's words: his daughter had been born.

Only since Bibi Dong was close to her due date, this daughter was his and Bibi Dong's child.

The thought of a life that would carry on their bloodline softened Qian Xunhan's heart.

He couldn't wait to see them.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, he heard a loud baby's cry. It was unfamiliar, yet it stirred something deep within him.

"I'm going to be a father."

A moment later, Qian Xunhan gently picked up the infant.

She was only a month old when she was born. She was very fair-skinned, with sparse golden hair. Her eyes were not yet open, but her features were the best of both Qian Xunhan and Bibi Dong, making her as delicate as a doll.

Qian Xunhan unconsciously lowered her voice, "This is my child with Dong'er..."

He dared not exert any force, for fear of harming the young life in his arms.

Hearing her deafening sobs, Qianxunhan gently comforted her, patting her lightly with her hand.

With Qian Xunhan's comforting words, she gradually stopped crying and fell asleep.

Gazing at her sleeping face, Qian Xunhan sighed inwardly.

Blood ties are truly a magical thing. They connect people with different personalities and make them care about each other.

"Since you were born in winter and are a gentle princess, let's just name you Renxue."

"Qian Renxue, that is your name."

"My dearest daughter."

The birth of Qian Renxue brought Qian Xunhan and Bibi Dong great joy; the strange feeling brought about by the continuation of bloodline was different.

Because it was her first child, Qian Xunhan was extremely patient with Qian Renxue. He would gently coax her to sleep and take great care of her.

During Bibi Dong's postpartum period, Qian Renxue was taken care of by Qian Xunhan.

It's not that there are no maids, it's that Qian Xunhan doesn't want to miss Qian Renxue's growth period.

When Qian Renxue turned one year old, Qian Xunhan held a grand banquet, inviting all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall.

Inside the magnificent palace, a large crowd gathered.

The fair-skinned little girl was held in his arms, her tiny, chubby hands clutching the hem of his clothes, her purple eyes sparkling as if a thousand stars were twinkling within them. She was indescribably adorable. She wore a bright red bib, which accentuated her fair skin.

Qian Renxue's adorable appearance immediately caught the eye of most of the female executives, and they all wanted to hug this soft and cute little bundle of joy.

Because Qianxunhan was there, they still didn't go forward.

When the time came, Qian Xunhan placed Qian Renxue on the table for her first birthday celebration. Whatever she picked up indicated which area her talents were inclined towards.

On the table covered with a yellow cloth were a short sword, a dagger that could cut through iron like mud, a long wooden gun, a large hammer, a book, and a suit of armor.

Qian Xunhan used her soul power to envelop them, preventing them from being too sharp and cutting into Qian Renxue's delicate skin.

Qian Renxue babbled and crawled around on the table. Her purple eyes were full of light, and finally stopped in front of a book. She reached out her little white hands, grabbed the book, and then sat down.

After a while, she put down the book and went toward the short sword and armor. She held one in each hand.

These two items were too big for her; her short arms couldn't hold them properly, and she almost fell backward. Qian Xunhan, quick as a flash, caught her with her hands.

She laughed happily, still holding onto the two items tightly, her little hands turning red.

Qian Xunhan coaxed gently, "Xue'er, put that thing down, how about Father takes you to eat candied hawthorns?"

He knew that Qian Renxue was naturally intelligent. At only one year old, she could understand what others were saying and would think seriously about it. Her intelligence was no less than that of a three- or four-year-old child.

She listened attentively, then put down the two items, grasped Qian Xunhan's hand with her small hand, and her purple eyes were filled with longing.

The temptation of candied hawthorn berries is too great.

The sweet taste seemed to linger on her taste buds, making her instinctively lick her lips, wanting to savor the taste of candied hawthorn again.

"This child."

Yueyan looked at her lovingly, "Just like when you were a child."

"It seems that the love for candied hawthorn is hereditary."

She smiled and placed a silver bracelet on Qian Renxue's wrist, "This is a first birthday gift for my dear granddaughter, she'll wear it for a lifetime."

A gift from elders is a blessing for future generations.

Qian Xunhan smiled and thanked Qian Renxue on her behalf, then picked her up from the table.

"Come find me when Xiaoxue awakens her martial spirit at the age of six."

Yueyan gently stroked Qian Renxue's head, looking at her with affection, "You're going to be a father now, be more mature in the future."

This is a mother's expectation for her son.

Qian Daoliu was also present, but his emotions were rather reserved and not outwardly revealed.

He had prepared a dagger with a golden gem inlaid on the hilt. Its texture was cold and smooth, and it could cut through iron like mud.

"This dagger can ignore the defense of soul beasts under three thousand years old. It was made from deep-sea mica and was used to protect her."

Qian Daoliu was worried about Qian Renxue's safety, so he gave her something very practical.

Qian Xunhan thanked him again and placed the dagger in his soul tool. He would give the dagger to Qian Renxue when she was a little older.

This thing is very dangerous for one-year-old Qian Renxue.

Amidst everyone's blessings, the first birthday celebration came to an end.

Inside the side hall, Qian Xunhan placed Qian Renxue in a specially made crib, and looked at each other across the crib with her younger brother, Qian Renyun.

Qian Renyun is five months younger than Qian Renxue. He is a blond-haired, red-eyed little boy whose activity is limited to crawling.

Qian Renyun was born to Alan, and as a boy, he was full of energy. Whenever he was awake, he would crawl around everywhere, much to the exasperation of Qian Xunhan and Alan.

Therefore, they even enlarged the crib to three meters, otherwise it wouldn't be big enough for him to crawl on. He cries whenever he's unhappy, and sometimes he cries for two hours straight, which is truly a headache.

The lively Qian Renyun and the quiet Qian Renxue form a stark contrast. However, Qian Renyun listens to Qian Renxue very much.

Her eyes were fixed on Qian Renyun, and after a while Qian Renyun sat quietly, not daring to move.

Qian Xunhan chuckled, "It really is true that one thing can subdue another."

Since Qian Renyun listens to Qian Renxue so readily, Qian Xunhan is truly not worried about the strained relationship between the siblings.

Judging from Qian Renyun's appearance, she'll definitely be a sister-obsessed person when she grows up.

Qian Xunhan placed Qian Renxue in Qian Renyun's crib and let the two of them play. He then meditated and cultivated to the side.

After the second awakening of her martial soul, plus the soul bone rewards from completing missions, Qian Xunhan now possesses four soul bones, each worth 99,999 years.

Once he collects the remaining two pieces, he will possess divine equipment. Thanks to the soul power derived from the soul bones, Qian Xunhan's soul power reached level ninety-three even without a ninth soul ring.

Once he absorbs the ninth soul ring, crossing the level 95 threshold will be easy.

For those with talent, the bottlenecks in cultivation seem to nonexistent.

Qian Xunhan frowned. Since leaving the far north, the system hadn't given him any more missions. It seemed the system's main purpose was to assist him in becoming a god; ultimately, he had to rely on himself.

He guessed that the next mission would be when he crossed the ninety-fifth watershed. Having figured this out, he ended his meditation and looked intently at the two children.

He loves both boys and girls and treats both children equally.

Qian Renxue sat in the middle of the crib, holding a small duck in her hand, which was Qian Renyun's toy.

Qian Xunhan initially thought that Qian Renxue had taken it to play with, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was a gift from Qian Renyun.

As soon as Qian Renxue arrived, Qian Renyun obediently gave her the toy in his hand, and even crawled over to get all the toys from the bedside and put them next to her.

Qianxunhan was both amused and exasperated by this.

He didn't say anything, just watched them play. They're so young and already such a sister-obsessed child, what will they be like when they grow up?

Bibi Dong and Alan walked over.

Each of them has her own unique charm; one is as fiery as a flame, the other as noble as an orchid. Despite their contrasting personalities, their beauty shines through when they walk together; in fact, their blending qualities enhance each other's elegance.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Qian Renxue, while Alan looked at Qian Renyun and smiled helplessly.

This little guy is so cute.

She knew how to please her older sister even before she was one year old.

Qian Renxue accepted everything without question, sitting calmly with her eyes following Qian Renyun, exuding an air of domineering charisma.

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction; her daughter's personality meant she wouldn't suffer any losses.

"Dong'er, Xiaoxue picked three things during her first birthday celebration, and I'm very happy," Qian Xunhan said to them in a low voice.

Bibi Dong's rose-red eyes softened. "What did you grab? Was it a dagger?"

She liked using daggers and hoped her daughter would be like her.

The traditional Chinese custom of "grasping the first fruit" (抓周) is believed to reveal a child's interests and offer a glimpse into their future. Therefore, the items chosen for this ceremony have a significant impact on a child's life.

"There is no dagger."

"She grabbed a book, a short sword, and a suit of armor."

"It seems she'll become a general someday."

Qian Xunhan said happily, expressing her high expectations for her daughter.

This is his child, his blood relative, his pride.
