The Next Day
Xichen woke as the sun hung in the sky, illuminating the world with a warm and welcoming light.
'Where am I...' Xichen thought, staring at the ceiling that was not the ceiling of his palace, in addition to the furniture that was clearly feminine in style. "Right, I slept in Mother's palace yesterday."
Yesterday, he had stayed with Zhuqing for a long time while telling her about what had happened to him over the past two years, from obtaining the Phoenix God inheritance and the Dragon God inheritance. He had unconditional trust in her and didn't mind telling her what he had gained.
And his trust was well-placed, as he still remembered how Zhuqing was happy for him even more than when he had given her five drops of Dragon God blood for herself, which she had refused without a moment's hesitation, but after much insistence from him, she had reluctantly accepted them.
"They are truly sisters," Xichen murmured with a slight smile, as Zhuqing's reaction was the same as Zhuyun's when he had tried to give her Dragon God blood; he had needed half a day to convince her to accept it.
Xichen rubbed his face a little and stared at the floating screen before him, which presented options: either subjugate Zhuqing or kill her. The choice was clear, and he pressed it without hesitation—the second option.
[Ding! The host has chosen to subjugate the Favored Daughter of Heaven.]
[Relevant information about the Favored Daughter of Heaven will be transferred to the host.]
As soon as the system notification ended, Xichen's head filled with information about Zhuqing's background, which exceeded his wildest imaginations.
Xichen had expected Zhuqing's background to be that she was from one of the hidden families or sects, but from the information he received, her background was terrifying in every sense of the word.
Zhuqing was not from the Blue Pole Star, but from the Soul Land Realm, a Royal Rank Star Realm ruled by Half-Human, Half-Demon beings.
And the Soul Land Realm was the Royal Rank Star Realm with the most God inheritances. While other Royal Rank Star Realms possessed 12 to 20 God inheritances at most, the Soul Land Realm easily possessed over 30 God inheritances.
This made the other Royal Rank Star Realms fear and dread them. As for Zhuqing, she was the daughter of a Realm God and the future heiress of the Soul Land Realm.
As for the reason for her presence in this barren place, it was because heirs were required to grow up in a Low-Rank Star Realm and ascend with their power to return to the Soul Land Realm. This was what Zhuqing had done, but because of him, she had returned to this barren place.
For when she was a young, weak girl, she fell into a lust-inducing trap, as expected from a clichéd plot for a Favored Daughter of Heaven, and became pregnant with him.
As for his father, it was Hengkong, who at that time was just a reckless but ambitious young man seeking opportunities to inherit the throne from his siblings.
Although Zhuqing did not have romantic feelings for Hengkong, she did not want her child to grow up without a father. Therefore, she agreed to marry Hengkong, who was infatuated with her beauty at the time. However, due to her unwillingness to have any relationship with him and making it clear that she married him so her child wouldn't be fatherless, Hengkong ignored her, while his other women isolated her in this palace out of jealousy of her beauty.
As for Xichen, Zhuqing had been pregnant with him for a full hundred years. She had to use a secret technique she had searched for extensively to do this, in addition to hiding her pregnancy. If the Realm King had known she was pregnant, he would have forced her to abort the child and would have destroyed the entire Blue Pole Star.
In truth, even though she worked hard to conceal the matter, it was eventually discovered, and she could only barely escape to the Blue Pole Star. She had been hiding on this small planet for a long time with Zhuyun, who could not bear to leave her younger sister alone.
'Does this mean I am the Young Master of the Soul Land Realm?' Xichen thought, stunned by this background, which truly suited a final villain. Compared to what Yun Che would become in the future, his background was a bit lacking, but now with this background, it was a clichéd story about a miserable, poor youth who rises to the top while trampling over his greatest enemy who tormented him in the past when he was weak.
'But unfortunately, I won't let anyone trample on me,' Xichen thought, his golden eyes extremely cold. He was the one who would trample on others and would never allow anyone to trample on him.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for subjugating the Favored Daughter of Heaven: Zhu Zhuqing, and obtaining 5,000 Fortune Value and 10,000 Destiny Points.]
[Ding! The host's Identity has been updated. Added: Holy Son of the Soul Land Realm to his status.]
[Ding! The host has received a Heavenly Chest for subjugating the Favored Daughter of Heaven.]
"..." Xichen stared at the system notifications, his eyes narrowing and his mouth opening wide enough to fit a whole egg. He had just obtained 35,000 points without even doing anything.
"Chen'er, I've prepared breakfast, so come and eat it." Zhuqing's beautiful voice rang out like a heavenly melody, pulling Xichen from his thoughts.
"I'm coming right away," Xichen replied, shaking his head slightly to clear his thoughts for the moment. His senses were soon assaulted by the aroma of extremely delicious food; it made him feel hungry instantly upon smelling it, and he felt his stomach move as if urging him to hurry and eat this food with its heavenly scent.
Xichen quickly got up from the bed, stretched his body a little, and walked towards the dining hall, where Zhuqing and Zhuyun were already waiting for him at a small dining table, filled with warmth and familial welcome.
