The Gold King couldn't believe his ears or his own body, his knees buckling imdiately.
What was that damn pressure? That imasurable brute power?
He felt his bloodline scream in horror, every part of him repeating one thing: "Run."
When Jin Hao realized it, he was already on his knees before Qingyi, his eyes trembling and his breathing rapid.
He was the King of Gold. A man who had never knelt before anyone, not even before the enlightened emperor.
But there he was on his knees, breaking more than fifty thousand years of holding his head high. Didn't life play funny tricks?
As quickly as it ca, that pressure ceased. Qingyi reached out his hand, ignoring the darkening skies above him.
The heavens had heard his challenge and were not happy.
Jin Hao hesitated before grabbing his son-in-law's hand and standing up.
He should have been angry at being forced to kneel like this, but strangely, not a shred of arrogance arose in him.
As he rembered the dragon's eyes on Qingyi's back, nothing but humility could reveal itself.
What was that young dragon?
"I'm sorry for the disrespect, father-in-law. But if this was a test, I hope I passed..." Qingyi said.
Jin Hao's eyes filled with shock and surprise as the young man bowed to him.
The arrogance to challenge the heavens and the humility to bow and
apologize to his elders...
Jin Hao was unable to stop the excitent from taking over his face.
'I've found the perfect son-in-law, haven't I? All the strengths of a dragon, but none of its flaws...
"Son-in-law..." The Gold King held Qingyi's shoulders tightly before laughing. Opening his arms and roaring, he pulled Qingyi into a bear hug. "Welco to the family!"
Above them, the skies seed to calm down.
They would not descend upon Qingyi. Not today.
Imdiately, Jin Hao turned to the double doors behind him, tightly closed.
The Shadows had obviously sensed that frightening Qi and were ready to storm the place at any mont.
But they soon relaxed, receiving a sound transmission from their
master.
"Miss ilin, your father is waiting for you."
"Okay" ilin nodded, stepping forward eagerly. Her eyes imdiately focused on her father's face.
He was happy. His face was taken over by a smile so wide and deep, second only to the smile he gave on the day she was able to break through the formations of that door.
"Co to your father, brat." Jin Hao moved with Qingyi still in his arms, hugging ilin tightly as well.
When he finally let them go, he smiled. "I'll start preparations for the wedding soon, but first..."
Jin Hao's eyes fell on the blade at Qingyi's waist.
"That's a very interesting weapon you carry, son-in-law," Jin Hao said, studying it carefully.
"Hm? Do you know it?" Qingyi asked, confused.
It had been a long ti since anyone had noticed the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword.
"Yes. In fact, I bought it at an auction a few tens of thousands of years ago. But when I tried to wield it, it almost severed my hand and flew away." The Gold King sighed, massaging a scar on his right hand.
He had never been able to heal it properly.
But it was good that Qingyi had that sword with him.
The Gold King had been thinking for a long ti about what would be the most appropriate gift for his son-in-law. Now he knew exactly
what it was.
The mont the Gold King opened his spatial ring, Ruxue's sweet and mature voice echoed in Qingyi's mind.
[Husband... I can feel one of my fragnts, but not only that...]
Ruxue herself couldn't believe her eyes as she watched the items that appeared in the Gold King's hand.
In one of them, a fragnt of steel. In the other, her scabbard. The original, forged by its creator over a hundred and fifty thousand years
ago.
It was, of course, incomparable to the scabbard she had made with Qi when she first t Qingyi.
A powerful suction force spread out, snatching the fragnt from the Gold King's hands, which was quickly absorbed by the blade.
[Put in my sheath, quick! It will help absorb the fragnt better.] Ruxue shouted in Qingyi's mind, full of excitent.
She could imagine the power she would gain after absorbing the last
of her fragnts in the Immortal Heaven.
Just three more fragnts, and she would finally be at the peak of her
power again.
With a soft sigh, the handso young man replaced the sheath on his waist, storing the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword in it.
Imdiately, he felt a change in the blade; its power seed to increase many tis over just by being in that sheath.
'What does this sheath change? Its appearance is identical to the
previous one!
[I'll tell you after I'm done, fufufu~~] Ruxue's laughter echoed, sweet
and symphonic.
"All right, son-in-law, daughter, let's eat and talk a little. We still have
a lot to plan for your wedding." The Gold King smiled, pulling another seat for ilin beside the lake.
The handso young man sat down next to his father-in-law and wife, his eyes flowing to his status screen.
He had amassed a fortune of Lust Points during the trip. Now, it was
ti to beco an Ancestral Emperor and finally unlock his own
domain.

Qingyi was about to ask his father-in-law a question about domains when suddenly a loud, angry voice echoed across the horizon. "Father, I demand the head of that bastard who is fucking my sister!" ilin froze imdiately, both at the disrespect of those words and at the source of that voice.
It was her third brother.
