Before Han Shuo could answer Bai Zhixian's question, his eyes suddenly landed on Xia Tian, who walked out of the room, and he immediately disappeared from her sight and reappeared in front of him.
However, Han Shuo didn't say anything and stared at Xia Tian, and they could see his body trembling with excitement.
Xia Tian was also the same as Han Shuo; he kept looking at his first cultivation brother calmly and excitedly. At first, he already thought that he would not be able to see him again after his death, for he thought that his soul would vanish forever.
However, his soul was eventually saved and inhabited his current body, and Xia Tian had been waiting long enough to meet Han Shuo again since then.
Tian Qilian and the others looked at them confusedly, especially since the two men continued to stand still without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ren Yao appeared in front of them again and explained to them. "You don't need to be confused by their attitude. Sometimes, their relationship does look unique and weird, but they have a strong emotional bond with each other, especially since their starting point is the same, and they work hand in hand to be strong."
"En." The women-only nodded to Ren Yao, but their eyes kept on the two men.
Immediately, Han Shuo hugged and lifted Xia Tian like a child, but it was very easy for him, especially since his body was really huge. "Hahaha! I'm truly grateful to see you again, Brother Tian! I thought I would never see you again because you broke the taboo. Unexpectedly, your soul could still be saved!"
"Hey! Put me down!" Xia Tian said annoyedly.
"Hahaha!" However, Han Shuo didn't listen to her words. Instead, he sat Xia Tian on his shoulder, causing those women to be dumbfounded.
Somehow, they felt that Han Shuo was even weirder than Ren Yao. Even Qin Qing, who had known her Master for so long, did not expect that he would act like that.
*Smack*
Xia Tian smacked Han Shuo's head and cursed at him. "Just because my body is so small now, you dare to treat me like a kid, huh?"
"Hahaha! Aren't you still a kid now? You're not even twenty yet." Han Shuo replied as he continued to laugh heartily, for he was overjoyed to see Xia Tian still alive.
Xia Tian gritted his teeth in annoyance, but he could only sigh in resignation at Han Shuo's behavior, for he was an ant compared to him in physique and cultivation.
Han Shuo then said to him. "However, I didn't expect I have so many sisters-in-law, and I also have a niece now."
"Anyway, Little Qilian is my first daughter, but I will have a second child soon."
"Eh?" Han Shuo immediately stopped walking and looked up at him. "Are you kidding me?"
"Sigh; you know I wouldn't joke about this, right?" Xia Tian replied by shaking his head.
Han Shuo nodded to him. "Well, that's true. Then where is your pregnant wife? How come I didn't see her in this mansion?"
"Of course, you can't meet Ying'er, for she has already gone to the Five Holy Lands and is staying with Xiao'er."
"Huh?" Han Shuo instantly raised his eyebrows after he heard Xia Tian address Qiao Xiao as Xiao'er. "Don't tell me you have accepted that old Loli as your wife?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to him. "Xiao'er is my wife, and Jing'er is already my wife too."
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment and laughed heartily afterward. "Hahaha! Those two have finally found their happiness after waiting thousands of years. Then what about Little Ying? Do you also accept her as your wife?"
"Not yet." Xia Tian replied with a low sigh. "I already know about her feelings for me, but the situation between us is a bit complicated now."
"Why is that?" Han Shuo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Little Ying's daughter is my wife." Han Shuo was stunned to hear that, and Xia Tian continued. "Moreover, she's still unsure about her feelings, especially since she's been married before."
After they arrived in front of the women, Han Shuo immediately put Xia Tian down and asked. "Wouldn't it be fine if she was once married? Moreover, several of my sisters-in-law had other men before, so why don't you accept Little Ying?"
Xia Tian shook his head upon hearing that. "Honestly, I don't mind if Little Ying was already married, but she feels that she has been disloyal to me, so she is hesitating about accepting her feelings for me."
"I see." Han Shuo nodded in understanding, for he was quite familiar with the characters of female elves. He then sighed and turned to Bai Zhixian. "Forget it; you can take care of Little Ying by yourself. Anyway, I have the materials to upgrade that girl's spiritual roots, so how about I help her upgrade them?"
Xia Tian was not surprised to hear that, especially since Han Shuo was the best blacksmith in the universe, and many very wealthy customers paid for his services with precious rare items. "How many materials do you have for that?"
"Hmm?" Han Shuo checked his storage ring first and answered Xia Tian afterward. "I can upgrade two people's spiritual roots, but I can only upgrade their spiritual roots to Heaven Grades and nothing more."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding, especially since upgrading spiritual roots requires different materials for each grade. Even though his divine spiritual roots can still be upgraded again, finding the materials takes work because they are scarce.
Xia Tian then looked at Bai Zhixian and asked her. "Do you want to do it? But one thing is certain: the pain is terrible; can you deal with it?"
However, Bai Zhixian didn't answer Xia Tian's question and instead asked him back. Yet, her question left everyone in the place dumbfounded. "Which is more painful than losing my virginity than upgrading my spiritual roots?"
Xia Tian and the others were completely dumbfounded upon hearing that, they really did not expect that Bai Zhixian would ask a comparison between the two. However, they immediately burst out laughing; even Han Shuo laughed wholeheartedly, and he felt that she was too innocent.
Bai Zhongying rubbed her forehead, hearing her second sister's words. However, she couldn't tell her the answer, especially since she was still a virgin.
'Dang! Big Sis Zhixian hasn't changed; she's still as innocent as ever.' Xiao Chen muttered in her heart as she held her stomach, for she couldn't stop laughing at Bai Zhixian.
Bai Zhixian pouted her mouth, seeing them like that. She was even afraid to face the pain of losing her virginity, so she asked Xia Tian about it.
"Zhixian, you are too paranoid about the pain." Zhu Yuhe said as she shook her head. "Before losing your virginity, you will only feel pain for a few minutes, but it is less painful than during childbirth."
Zhou Xuan also said to her. "You are a cultivator; if you continue to be frightened by pain like this, then how will you be able to help our husband face his enemies in the future?"
"I-" Bai Zhixian was speechless to refute them.
Bai Zhongying then patted her second sister on the shoulder. "Although I've never experienced it before, I'm sure the pain won't be worse than sword wounds, so you will have to deal with it whether you want to or not."
On the other hand, Tian Qilian didn't say anything to Bai Zhixian, especially since her first experience was too painful, especially since Xia Tian was too ferocious when it happened back then.
Feng Xian'er and He Shiyun also didn't say anything, especially since Xia Tian had not touched them until now.
After she thought about it for a long time, Bai Zhixian looked at the two men; she then said to Xia Tian. "Fine! No matter how painful it is, I will definitely be able to deal with it, but you must stay by my side to get through it, okay?"
"Don't worry, you are my woman, so I will accompany you through that pain. However, we can't do it in this place, for the effect of upgrading spiritual roots will cause a big commotion later." Xia Tian then turned his head towards the distance and shouted. "Hey, Estella! I must take Ren Yao with us, so you must protect them properly, or I will punish you later!"
"Yes! Leave them to me." Estella answered without showing herself, for she wanted to avoid meeting Han Shuo.
Han Shuo frowned at that. He had previously been too focused on Xia Tian's women, so he had not noticed her presence in the mansion. "Estella the Dark Queen? How could she be on this planet with you?"
"It's a long story, and I'll tell you everything later." Xia Tian answered as he grabbed Bai Zhixian's hand and flew away. "Let's go somewhere else, and we will do that there."
Han Shuo and Ren Yao nodded, and they immediately followed Xia Tian.
"Wait for me! I also want to come with you, Xia Tian!" Bai Zhongying shouted as she flew after them.
Since Bai Zhongying was his sister-in-law, Xia Tian didn't mind if she came with them. However, she directly refused when Xiao Chen also wanted to go with them.
Moreover, Xia Tian didn't know her, and Xiao Yuqi was also in the Fortress, or else it would cause a feud between him and the Xiao Clan.
