Tian Qilian was dazed to see so many beauties in front of her. Moreover, all of them were the women of the man who had violated her by force several months ago, and she was now pregnant with their child.
"I never expected Tian to become a father soon, but he has never accompanied you, Qilian." Chen Xue said as she approached Tian Qilian and rubbed her belly.
Tian Qilian was still confused by the situation before her; she then looked down and asked. "So, this golden dragon is Xia Tian?"
"Yes, this golden dragon is indeed our husband." Bing Huang replied while walking beside her. Since they were both mythical beasts, making her very attracted to Tian Qilian.
Tian Qilian was shocked to hear that, she clearly remembered that he was only a human that day, so he never expected that Xia Tian would become a golden dragon now. She then looked at Bing Huang and raised her eyebrows. "So you are that ice phoenix that appeared a few months ago?"
"Yes." Bing Huang replied with an approving nod. "Back then, I was only half an ice phoenix, but our husband gave me a pill and helped me become a full-fledged ice phoenix."
"I see." Tian Qilian nodded in understanding and looked at Xia Tian with complicated feelings.
Yu Yunzhi, who looked up from below, could hear their conversation. Her feelings became chaotic when she heard that Xia Tian was the golden dragon in front of her. 'I never imagined this before; the young man I have always dual cultivated with is a dragon. No wonder he always treats me like that. Maybe in his eyes, I'm just an ordinary woman who doesn't mean anything to him.'
Just as she thought, Xia Tian's tail wrapped gently around her waist and carried her above his head, startling her.
Fan Ying smiled and shook her head at that, and she had already guessed what would happen next, so she carried Tian Yu and He Shiyun flying away from the cave.
Those people were still shocked to see the presence of the golden dragon, especially Zi Guang. He had heard a lot about dragons but had never heard of the golden dragon before. After all, he was a cultivator of the lower realm. Even Xia Tian, who was the strongest in the past, didn't know that the golden dragon existed.
"So you were the one who injured Qilian last time? And now you also want to capture her along with our child?" Xia Tian's hoarse voice was even heard throughout the Holy Central Continent.
The powerful cultivators, who heard the dragon's voice, instantly filled the sky above the continent. However, they immediately froze upon seeing it, and no one dared to move from their place.

Above Flying Artifact - Previously
Xia Tian, who was cultivating, was startled by a notification that popped up in his mind.
[Ding]
[Mission: Saving Your Woman And Child]
[Time Limit: Five Hours]
[Reward: Ancient Sacred Realm Fifth Layer Unlocked, Dual Cultivation Space Upgraded.]
[Punishment: Tian Qilian and your child's death]
'What!?' Xia Tian was shocked when he saw the notification, his body trembled violently, and his anger overflowed.
"What happened to you, Tian?" Liu Ying asked and grabbed his hand, but she was shocked because Xia Tian's body was scorching and shaking violently. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this?"
Xia Tian didn't answer his mother, his eyes became bright golden, and his body was enveloped by a golden light. Soon, almost all over his body was also covered with golden scales, he said in a hoarse voice. "All of you left the flying artifacts! Qilian and our child are in danger, so I must go there now to save them!"
"What!?" Liu Ying and the others were shocked to hear that.
They exchanged glances for a moment and flew away from the flying artifact. After Xia Tian stored it, he turned into a gigantic golden dragon, and they landed on his head, and he immediately flew up at an extremely high speed.

Beast Mountain Range - Present
"How dare you want to kill my wife!" Xia Tian said fiercely, and his golden eyes shone even brighter; he then enveloped Zi Guang with his golden energy and used soul search on him.
"Argh!" Zi Guang groaned in pain when Xia Tian did that to him.
"Since you intend to harm my wife and child, blame yourself for your impudence, and I will eradicate everyone related to you!" Xia Tian opened his mouth wide and shot a giant golden fireball toward Zhi Guang and the others, who could still not move under his pressure in his golden dragon form.
The sight of that terrifying golden fireball was the last thing they saw, for the next second, their bodies and souls were annihilated in an instant.
*boom*
A mighty explosion caused the Holy Central Continent to experience a tremendous earthquake, and very high sea waves moved toward the continent.
However, Fan Ying quickly used her energy to stop the waves to prevent other victims.
After that, Xia Tian immediately took the woman on his head away from that place. They turned towards the mountains, which had now turned into a vast lake, and could only sigh heavily.
The cultivators from the Holy Central Continent who witnessed that also gasped at the horror displayed by the golden dragon, and they never imagined that there was a mythical beast in legend residing on their planet.
Tian Hu also sighed heavily after seeing that; the mountains that had been their residence for thousands of years disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"We have to catch up with them now!" Fan Ying said and enveloped Tian Hu and He Shiyun with her energy; she took them after Xia Tian and the others.

An island in the middle of the sea
[Mission: Saving Your Woman And Child]
[Status: Done]
[Ancient Sacred Realm Fifth Layer Unlocked]
[Dual Cultivation Space Upgraded to Level 4]
Xia Tian felt that his body could no longer withstand the transformation, so he decided to land on an uninhabited island and immediately lowered those women from his head.
Xia Tian instantly spurted blood when he returned to his human form, causing his women to panic.
But in the next second, Fan Ying was already sitting behind him, and she was helping Xia Tian to lessen the backlash from his transformation, and they could only wait for her to finish treating him.
Tian Qilian looked at Xia Tian with complicated feelings as she recalled when Xia Tian violated her by force. She had intended to kill him back then, but Alice, Mu Ruxue, and Yue stopped her.
However, who would have thought she would be pregnant with his child because of what happened that night? When she and their child were desperate, he came to their rescue and killed the people who had been hunting her for a very long time, even forcing himself like that. She knew Xia Tian was suffering from a terrible backlash, and Fan Ying was trying to stabilize his condition.
However, Tian Qilian was deeply moved by his actions; she even sensed from the start that his cultivation had reached the 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm.
Even though He Shiyun had told her before, thee fact shocked Tian Qilian greatly. Back then, Xia Tian's cultivation was still shallow, but his cultivation had increased tremendously in just a few months, and she had never met another dual cultivator who could cultivate as fast as him.
A few hours later, Fan Ying finally let out a sigh of relief that Xia Tian's condition had stabilized, so he didn't suffer any adverse effects from the backlash. Then she got up and scolded him. "You are too rash, Uncle Tian. If I wasn't here, you would become a cripple again. The golden dragon's power is too extraordinary; as long as your body is still a mortal body like this, you shouldn't use it again."
"I know, Little Ying." Xia Tian nodded in understanding as he stood up; he then turned to her and sincerely said. "Thank you, you've protected Qilian these past few months. If you weren't here, I would have been too late to save them, and they would have fallen into that bastard's hands."
"If you want to thank you, you should thank Sister Yinyue. She foresaw that this day would happen, so she asked me to protect Qilian and your child." Fan Yingying then glanced at Yun Yunzhi, who was far away. "However, I didn't expect to meet a woman who ran away from you, Uncle Tian. Since she is your woman, I have decided to accept her as my disciple and teach her everything I know."
Those women's eyes immediately fell on Yu Yunzhi, especially since Xia Tian had already told them she was also his woman, but she fled the southern continent because he never treated her well.
"Sect Master Yu! You can't run away from Tian anymore." Mo Xiaoqi shouted at Yu Yunzhi, making her very embarrassed and wanting to dig a hole to hide her face, and the other women laughed out loud at her shy girl-like behavior.
Xia Tian walked over to Tian Qilian and gently caressed her cheek. "Maybe it's quite late now, but I want to apologize to you sincerely."
