Guan Zilan, though angry, still cared deeply for her disciple. Seeing that Huang Miaoying was struggling to give birth, she immediately stepped in to help.
Streams of pure spiritual power flowed into Huang Miaoying's body.
"Waa waa waa..."
Finally, with the sound of a baby's cry, the child was successfully born.
"It's a girl!" Guan Zilan instinctively exclaimed, sharing the news with Huang Miaoying.
Buzz...
At the same time, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth gathered in the room, causing the third-grade spiritual vein beneath the Huang Family's residence to tremble. Dense spiritual qi formed into mist, drifting in the room, and quickly gathered into a five-colored auspicious cloud on the ceiling. Accompanied by melodious sounds, a five-colored beam of light as thick as an arm descended from the cloud, shining directly on the newborn.
The infant was enveloped in the five-colored radiance, her expression serene. Perhaps it was too comfortable, as she let out a crisp "giggling" sound, surrounded by rippling innate spiritual qi like water waves.
"Innate Water Spirit Qi! Great Dao Blessing!!"
Guan Zilan was so shocked by this sudden scene that she gasped, her face full of disbelief.
The Great Dao Blessing was something only those with great destiny or special constitutions could invoke.
What kind of genius had her disciple given birth to, to be able to trigger such a phenomenon?
"What’s happening in the room? Why is there music?"
"Such dense innate qi, has the child been born?"
"The child's birth caused such a commotion, incredible, truly incredible, hahaha!"
The Huang Family members waiting outside the birthing room were anxious, but with the child's birth, their excitement grew, their faces full of enthusiasm... The Huang Family's Kylin child was extraordinary.
As the five-colored radiance faded, Guan Zilan couldn't wait to use her spiritual power to probe the child's body, discovering a complex and obscure Dao pattern merging into the child's heart.
"Dao Pattern! It's actually a Dao Pattern!" Guan Zilan exclaimed in shock, "No wonder this child could invoke the Great Dao Blessing; it turns out to be an Innate Dao Body above the Heaven Spirit Root!"
As an elder of the Taiqing Sect, she knew more than the Huang Family members outside.
The so-called Dao Pattern was a manifestation of a heaven-defying constitution or spiritual root. The larger the area the Dao Pattern occupied on the body, the stronger and more heaven-defying the talent.
The appearance of a Dao Pattern indicated that this child's talent was in harmony with the Great Dao, with limitless potential!
Guan Zilan cautiously extended her divine sense to examine further, and her body trembled again: "Azure Marrow Frost Body! It's actually the Azure Marrow Frost Body! No wonder there's such dense innate water spirit qi accompanying it. Miaoying, who exactly is your Dao companion to give birth to such a heaven-defying child?"
It was a water attribute constitution, yet extremely powerful.
Generally, someone like Huang Miaoying with a water spirit body would have an innate advantage in cultivating water attribute techniques, progressing faster than others, but that was the extent of it.
However, the Azure Marrow Frost Body's strength was not limited to cultivation. It naturally carried a trace of innate coldness, growing stronger with increased power, making it rare for peers to be a match, and even capable of battling across realms.
Moreover, this special constitution grew stronger in the later stages. If this child cultivated to the Elemental Infant Realm, even just entering it, she wouldn't be a match for herself, which spoke volumes.
"This child's constitution is highly compatible with our Taiqing Sect's techniques. If brought into the sect for cultivation, it would surely yield twice the result with half the effort. The Taiqing Sect might even advance further in the future..."
Guan Zilan's beautiful eyes shone brightly.
"A Heaven Spirit Root alone would be enough to shake the sect. If I bring this child back, it might incite a scramble among the elders, and even the sect master might step in to take her as a disciple..."
Guan Zilan could already imagine the shocked expressions of the sect members upon seeing this child, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, instinctively glancing back at her still somewhat weak disciple.
Her initial anger at her disciple's deception had faded somewhat due to the child's extraordinary talent.
Huang Miaoying propped herself up, equally stunned by the phenomenon before her, but mostly joyful, eagerly saying, "Master, may I see the child?"
Guan Zilan handed the child to her, and Huang Miaoying's face shone with maternal radiance as she teased the child with her finger, simultaneously probing with a strand of spiritual power, her smile growing wider: "Wonderful!"
Qin Changqing hadn't lied to her; the child's talent was indeed exceptional.
Hmm... when should she find him to have another?
Excellent offspring are naturally more the merrier.
Outside, the Huang Family members were anxious, each craning their necks to see what was happening inside, but they were also wary of Guan Zilan, so they could only wait uneasily.
Huang Yuanjing stood outside with his hands behind his back, appearing calm, but his hands trembled slightly, betraying his inner turmoil.
Whoosh!
The door swung open with a wave of spiritual power, and Guan Zilan appeared at the entrance holding the child.
Everyone's spirits lifted, their eyes fixated on the child.
After all, it was a child of the Huang Family, and Guan Zilan had no reason to refuse. She nodded lightly and handed the child to Huang Yuanjing.
The Huang Family members immediately gathered around, and after casting a spell to examine the child, Huang Yuanjing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Azure Marrow Frost Body! It's actually the Azure Marrow Frost Body!"
"Azure Marrow Frost Body! The legendary special constitution?"
"Stronger than Miaoying's congenital spirit body!"
"Hahaha, just as expected, Miaoying didn't disappoint us!"
The Huang Family members were all flushed with excitement, some wanting to laugh out loud, but upon noticing Guan Zilan's cold gaze, they stifled their laughter.
Guan Zilan sensed something amiss.
The Huang Family seemed to have anticipated this, their reactions to the child's talent were joyful and excited, but not surprised at all.
It was as if they already knew the child would be exceptionally gifted, which was impossible!
Huang Miaoying, who had also emerged from the room, saw her master's expression and inwardly groaned, but she couldn't openly stop them, as that would only arouse more suspicion from her master.
"Daoist Huang," Guan Zilan spoke calmly.
"What guidance does Senior have?" Huang Yuanjing quickly restrained his smile and stepped forward with cupped hands.
Guan Zilan's gaze was sharp: "Who is this child's father?"
The Huang Family members' faces changed dramatically, and no one spoke for a while.
"Hmm? What, is this something shameful?" Guan Zilan's voice grew colder: "At this point, are you still going to hide it from me?"
The Huang Family members were in a panic.
They dared not reveal it. Who was Guan Zilan? An Elemental Infant True Lord of the Taiqing Sect! If she discovered Qin Changqing's secret, she would surely be tempted, and might even resort to force. Who could stop her then?
Huang Miaoying? Don't be ridiculous. Qin Changqing's heaven-defying ability to nurture spiritual roots, not even a direct disciple, not even a father could stop it!
"Master, please don't ask. This is... my personal matter..." Huang Miaoying could only grit her teeth and say.
She truly didn't want her master to know about Qin Changqing's existence. Her master was also a woman, and a well-maintained, graceful, and talented woman at that.
Faced with Qin Changqing's allure, her master might also be tempted.
