Supreme Sword Dao Sect's Domain, Iron Cliff Town

After destroying the Supreme Sword Dao Sect and saving both Fang Lan and Hu'er as well as emptying the sect's treasury, Ling Chen didn't quickly leave the Supreme Sword Dao Sect's domain but rather stayed in the nearby town as it was getting late.

Currently, they were all staying in the most famous and luxurious Inn in the Iron Cliff Town known as the Mystic Moon Inn. Though the Mystic Moon Inn was nothing compared to the famous Starfall Inn and restaurant in Blue Cloud City, it was still the best that the town of Iron Cliff had to offer.

Not to mention, Iron Cliff Town couldn't even compare to the famous Blue Cloud City, one of the largest and richest cities of the Thunder Flame Kingdom.

Compared to a few days ago, after cleaning out the treasury of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, Ling Chen had suddenly become one of the wealthiest men in the entire Heaven Desolate Region. As such, he was able to book the best rooms that the Mystic Moon Inn had to offer.

Within the most luxurious room of the Mystic Moon Inn.....

"Young master, I am very sorry for putting you in such a dire situation." Said Fang Lan in a respectful tone as he bowed his head towards Ling Chen who was sitting on the bed.

His eyes were flickering with a hint of reverence as an expression of guilt could also be seen on his face.

Fang Lan had never felt this useless before. Not only he wasn't able to help and protect the young master he swore to give his life for, he even became his burden.

Instead of protecting him, he had put his young master's life into great danger by allowing himself to be kidnapped and held hostage by the enemy.

Nonetheless, his young master didn't abandon him but barged into the enemy's base in order to save him and almost lost his life in the process.

Though this gesture showed that his young master cared about him greatly, Fang Lan still didn't feel happy.

Rather, he felt extremely ashamed of himself. Just thinking about the dangerous situation his young master had to put himself through in order to save him and Hu'er made him feel like a steel knife was viciously gorging itself deep in his heart, causing so much pain that his body spasmed in response.

From the moment the young master had saved his life and gave him a new power that most people could ever dream of having, he had made the oath to give his life and soul to the young master as well as his undying loyalty.

He wanted to become the young master's sword, the sharpest and the most powerful sword that could cut through any obstacle that the young master would face in the future. Yet, so far he hadn't done anything of the sort but rather becoming a hindrance as well as a burden to the young master.

At this moment, Fang Lan couldn't help but feel alone and helpless. Like the time he was poisoned and almost killed by Lin Mu in the Core Sect Ascension Battle.

"I've told you already that you don't have to be too hard on yourself because of that." Ling Chen said with a slight smile on his face.

"Not to mention, it was I that have implicated you and put you in this dangerous situation."

"No young master, it was I was who was too weak to defend myself. You didn't implicate....." Argued Fang Lan.

However, before he could even finish his sentence;

"Fang Lan." Interrupted Ling Chen with a serious look on his face as his childish and thunderous voice rang out within the room.

"You don't have to feel sorry for yourself nor denying the fact that it was because of me that you found yourself in that situation."

"I know of your undying loyalty towards me and I really appreciate that. Don't be too hard on yourself. You might be weak now, but believe me, In the future, you will reach a height which any living beings can never dream of touching."

"You'll have the strength to conquer all under the heavens and had the power to hold the life and death of every living being under the heavens except mine and your brothers."

"So, be patient and train hard. Don't compare my rate of improvement with yours! Do you understand me?"

Ling Chen uttered these words with a flat tone but, at this moment, the air around him as well as his presence suddenly changed. It was if he was sitting on his Supreme Deity's throne and grasped the entire universe in his hand as he looked down on the rest of the world!

At this very moment, even the most powerful warrior within the Great Luo World would be in awe from his aura.

At the same time, Fang Lan was also intimidated by Ling Chen's grandeur as his heart shivered with a chilling sensation.

An instinctive primal fear appeared from the depth of his soul. He also somehow believed everything Ling Chen just said to be true and it was just a matter of time.

Fang Lan was in a daze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure after taking a deep breath and solemnly nodded his head, then he said: " I will try my best, Young Master."

Although there were many unclear emotions mixed in his heart, his eyes were filled with an unwavering determination and trust.

Fang Lan was obviously older than Ling Chen by several years, but at this moment, he was acting like a lowly and devout servant, creating quite an inconsistent scene. historical

" Great!, in the meantime, just relax like the little lazy bum over there." Ling Chen said as he patted the little black fox's head that was comfortably laying on his right shoulder.

"Rrwww!" Protested Hu'er after hearing Ling Chen calling her lazy bum as she scratched his shoulder with her tiny paws.

At the same time, she had that look on her eyes as if she was trying to say' it's your fault that I got kidnapped you little bastard'

"Alright guys, I am relieved that you're all ok. I was really worried about you." Ling Chen said with a joyful expression on his face.

He truly was happy that both Fang Lan and Hu'er were fine after they were kidnapped by elder Zhuo. Aside from his father, Fang Lan and Hu'er were the closest people he had to a true family and friends. As such, he was really worried when they were kidnapped by elder Zhuo. Now, that he was able to save them and they were both safe and sound, he was indeed truly happy.

Not to mention, it was the first time aside from his father that he had some people that he actually cared for and who also loved him back in return. This type of emotion was new to him and they made him feel like a real human despite his inhumane characteristics. As such, he tried his best to cling onto them and explore them.

"Ok, now back to business. The main reason that I wanted to have this small meeting before you guys all go to sleep was so that I could introduce you to the new members of our family."

Upon hearing Ling Chen, both Fang Lan and Hu'er had a weird expression on their faces. They were both shocked and puzzled as they didn't really understand what Ling Chen was trying to say.

Nevertheless, they didn't say anything as they were waiting quietly for Ling Chen who had suddenly closed his eyes as though he was meditating after he had uttered those words.

After a few seconds;

"Here they come!" Ling Chen said with a happy smile on his face as he opened his eyes.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

In the next seconds, five chubby babies and a seven years old child suddenly appeared on the bed where Ling Chen was sitting.
