Tian Qilian looked at him with teary eyes; she was deeply touched by Xia Tian's sincerity, so she was speechless.
Seeing her like that, Xia Tian pulled Tian Qilian into his arms and kissed her lips.
Tian Qilian was taken aback momentarily, but she immediately closed her eyes and kissed Xia Tian back.
Seeing them like that, Tian Hu smiled happily. Even though he didn't know Xia Tian, he could see that he cared for his daughter, which relieved him.
On the other hand, He Shiyun also smiled happily. 'Hehe, this way, my young miss will be happy in the future.'
Moments later, Xia Tian separated their lips and said to her again. "Starting today, I will always take care of you and our child and never leave you again."
"En." Tian Qilian only nodded at him.
Liu Ying suddenly asked him. "So what's your plan now, Tian? Are we going to immediately find a place to live on this continent? Or will we return to the southern continent and wait for Qilian to give birth first?"
Xia Tian did not answer his mother's question directly. At first, he couldn't wait to go to the Holy Central Continent, but two of the three women were with him now, and Tian Qilian was also on the verge of giving birth.
As for Hua Xiangyue, Xia Tian felt he should be safe in the Sheng Imperial Sect, but he still didn't know her situation.
After a while, Xia Tian turned to Tian Hu and He Shiyun. "Do you two know of a quiet place for us to stay on this continent? I want to find a place away from people."
"I think I know a place like that, Master." He Shiyun answered and flew up into the sky; she then pointed in the distance. "There is an uninhabited island in that area, and people have never gone there. However, there are many strong beasts in the forest, but I don't think they will bring us any trouble."
"Hmm?" Xia Tian cast his senses in the direction He Shiyun pointed at, and he immediately found the island, and it was much better than their current location. "All right, we will go there right now."
After that, Xia Tian took out his flying artifact again, and they rushed toward the island. The island was not too far from the main island, and he felt it was suitable for placing the Fortress.
"This island is not bad, Tian." Zhu Yuhe said as she observed the island.
Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement with her. "I think we can live here, Tian. Moreover, this forest is also rich in food, and we can train in this place, especially since most of those beasts are stronger than us."
"En." Xia Tian nodded to them; he then took out the Fortress and threw it down.
Soon, the Fortress expands to its original form and makes a loud boom.
*boom*
Tian Hu, Tian Qilian, and He Shiyun were shocked to see the Fortress. They didn't expect Xia Tian to have such a thing.
"Let's go down." Xia Tian said as he jumped down, and they all followed him.
After Xia Tian stored the flying artifact, he led them into the Fortress and activated the barrier. That way, even if those people found their location, they couldn't enter without his permission.
Tian Hu, Tian Qilian, and He Shiyun were amazed to see the inside of the Fortress. Even though it looked big from the outside, it was much wider inside than it looked.
Soon, they arrived at their living area, and Xia Tian allowed Tian Hu, He Shiyun, Yu Yunzhi, and Fan Ying to choose which house they wanted to live in.
As for Tian Qilian, Xia Tian took her to his house, especially since he wanted to accompany her.
"Be careful." Xia Tian said as he led Tian Qilian inside slowly.
Tian Qilian was amused by his attitude, but she was also happy by his concern. "You don't need to worry, my pregnancy is very healthy, and our child will be born in a few days."
"Uh, I know." Xia Tian himself had checked her pregnancy condition without Tian Qilian noticing; he then took her to sit on the bed.
However, Tian Qilian was speechless when she saw the bed, especially since it was so big. 'Sigh, after all, he is a dual cultivator and has so many women by his side.'
On the other hand, Xia Tian looked so excited to see Tian Qilian's big belly, and he rubbed it gently. After all, he had lived for a very long time, but he had never had a child with Liu Lifen, and the child in her womb was his first child in his two lifetimes.
"Why do you keep rubbing my belly?" Tian Qilian asked with an amused smile seeing Xia Tian like that.
Since the relationship between them happened because of an accident, and Tian Qilian left Xia Tian immediately after the accident. Although He Shiyun had told her a few things about him, she knew very little about him and didn't know that the child in her womb meant so much to him.
"Do you want to hear my story?"
"Yes."
"All right." Xia Tian took her to lie down on the bed and hugged her, and he told her everything about his past life, and Tian Qilian just silently listened to him.
To prove his story, Xia Tian shares his many memories with Tian Qilian, which makes her shocked after seeing all the memories. "No wonder you know the Elf Queen and the Alchemist God, it turns out that you are the reincarnation of the strongest cultivator in the past, and you even have all of your past memories."
"Shiyun must have told you about them, right?"
"Yes." Tian Qilian nodded to him. "The Alchemist God even gave me some pills, and thanks to those pills, our child grew very healthy and strong in my womb."
Xia Tian smiled upon hearing that. "In the past, I really wanted to have a child, but Lifen couldn't get pregnant due to her physical condition, so our child is my first child."
"I see." Tian Qilian really didn't expect that she would be the first woman to give birth to his child.
Xia Tian then kissed Tian Qilian's lips, which she immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for some time. "Anyway, I checked our child's gender; our child is a girl."
"Eh?" Tian Qilian was astounded to hear that. "Is it true that our child is a girl?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to her. "Since she's a girl, I'll name her Xia Qilian later."
"Hmm?" Tian Qilian looked at him in surprise. At first, she thought that Xia Tian would use the Long surname for their child, but he instead used the Xia surname.
"Although I in the past was Long Tian, the current me is Xia Tian, so I chose to give her the Xia surname." Xia Tian explained to her with a smile. "As for her name, I want her to have the same name as you, Qilian."
"All right, we will use that name for our child." Tian Qilian then rubbed her belly and said. "Do you like that name? Your father gave you the name Xia Qilian."
As if understanding Tian Qilian's words, the child inside her womb moved happily, and they could feel her movement. "Ugh! You really like that name, huh?"
"Hey, little girl, you better not move like that, or your mother will have difficulty giving birth to you later." Xia Tian said as he rubbed Tian Qilian's belly, and the child stopped moving directly. "Good girl! You will be born in a few days, and you can meet us later."
Tian Qilian chuckled, seeing Xia Tian like that. "It seems that our child is obedient to you, she even calmed down immediately."
"Isn't that great? A child must be obedient to her parents, let alone our child is a girl." Tian Qilian just shook her head at his words; Xia Tian then got up from the bed and walked to the wooden bathtub, filling it with water from the Sacred Jade Pond.
After that, Xia Tian helped Tian Qilian get up, and he removed her clothes, making her face bright red. "What... What are you going to do?"
*Flick*
Xia Tian flicked Tian Qilian's forehead lightly and laughed softly. "I just want to help you take a bath, and the water benefits you and our child."
"Hmm?" Tian Qilian was confused by his words; she didn't believe the water would benefit them.
After Tian Qilian was naked, Xia Tian immediately picked her up and slowly put her into the wooden bathtub, and she was shocked when she felt the energy in the water. "How is this possible? The energy within this water is extremely dense and pure."
"Did Shiyun ever tell you about my space?" Xia Tian asked as he started to help Tian Qilian clean her body.
Tian Qilian nodded to him. "Yes, Shiyun already told me about that, but she never said anything about this water."
"It's fine, I will bring you into my space later, and you can see for yourself later."
"All right."
After he finished helping Tian Qilian clean up, Xia Tian carried her back to the bed and covered her with a blanket. "I'm going to meet someone, and you can rest for now."
"En." Tian Qilian simply nodded at him.
