A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 80

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words in his arms, Wu Yifan’s expression also darkened. Although he didn’t have strong feelings for Lin Zixin, the fact that she was Lin Dong’s biological mother made it impossible for him to watch her suffer.

Thinking of this, Wu Yifan looked at Lin Shuirou with determination and said, “Where is Lin Zixin? Bring her out.”

Lin Shuirou’s face looked grim; she clearly hadn’t expected to be treated this way by a junior one day. However, standing beside Wu Yifan was Wu Hao, who exuded a fierce presence, so Lin Shuirou didn’t dare to say anything. Instead, she turned around and instructed an Elder to go to the small world and bring Lin Zixin out.

After giving the order, Lin Shuirou glanced at Wu Hao and, after some hesitation, inquired, “Wu Senior, may I ask who this is?”

“This one? He is my great-grandson. What of it?” Wu Hao replied calmly, revealing Wu Yifan’s identity. Upon learning who Wu Yifan was, Lin Shuirou couldn’t help but gasp in shock, clearly not expecting that Wu Yifan was such a powerful junior.

For a moment, many of her previous thoughts were extinguished; most importantly, Wu Yifan was the father of her grandson.

As Lin Shuirou raised her head, intending to say something, the Elder brought Lin Zixin to the scene.

Lin Zixin looked somewhat puzzled, as she understood that her mother usually didn’t change her decisions. However, upon seeing Lin Dong and Wu Yifan not far away, everything seemed to become clear.

“Could it be that he has come to find me and the child after realizing the situation here?”

For some reason, Lin Zixin thought of this possibility. But she quickly reminded herself that her mother possessed an Imperial Weapon, and even if Wu Yifan had broken through to Quasi-Emperor, he would still not be her mother’s opponent.

With this thought, Lin Zixin gritted her teeth and stood up, planning to protect Wu Yifan and Lin Dong’s escape. However, she didn’t expect Lin Shuirou to appear before her and stop her, wearing a smile that Lin Zixin had never seen before.

“Darling, I’ve accepted your marriage with Wu Xiao’you.”

Lin Zixin: ???

Wu Yifan: ???

Most of the people present were momentarily stunned by Lin Shuirou’s words. They clearly didn’t expect to hear such a response from her. After all, just before, Lin Shuirou had been adamant about keeping Lin Zixin in the Roushui Holy Land.

Now, with Lin Shuirou saying this, it seemed like she was going to send Lin Zixin and Lin Dong to someone else. It was essential to note that Lin Zixin was the most talented genius in Roushui Holy Land, a Quasi-Emperor at just over five hundred years of age, and if nothing went wrong, she would likely be the one to challenge the Great Emperor successfully.

Lin Dong possessed an unparalleled innate Dao胎圣体 (Holy Body of Dao), which meant his growth would be even more formidable than Lin Zixin’s. Now Lin Shuirou was handing them over; how could the Elders of Roushui Holy Land agree to this?

Just as the Elders were about to voice their objections, Lin Zixin spoke up first.

“Mother, you don’t need to worry about my marriage for now. Lin Dong, come over to me!”

After saying this, Lin Zixin looked at Lin Dong, who was nestled in Wu Yifan’s arms, but Lin Dong refused to come out, still acting adorably.

“Mother, I want to be with Father. Isn’t it nice for our family to be together?”

Hearing his son’s words, Wu Yifan felt a bit shy. After all, he wasn’t very familiar with Lin Zixin, and although they had a child, it didn’t change the fact that they didn’t know each other well.

Lin Zixin shot Wu Yifan a glare. Just before this, Lin Dong had been the closest to her, but unexpectedly, upon just meeting Wu Yifan, he seemed to be drawn to him.

However, there was no time to think about that now; the priority was to bring her son back.

Before Lin Zixin could speak, Wu Hao interjected first.

“Lin Zixin, Lin Dong is a member of our Wu family’s bloodline; this is an undeniable fact, whether you accept it or not. Moreover, I believe that for a child’s development, ample companionship from both parents is essential for their well-being.”

“So I request that until Lin Dong turns eighteen, he lives with us in the Wu Family alongside Yifan, and when he turns eighteen, I won’t stop you from leaving.”

Wu Hao’s intention was to create opportunities for Wu Yifan and Lin Zixin to develop feelings for each other, considering that there was currently no emotional bond between them. Furthermore, from what he knew of Wu Yifan, he believed that if Lin Zixin spent some time with him, she would likely come to have feelings for him.

After all, isn’t the Child of Destiny supposed to have extraordinary luck in love? If worse comes to worse, then perhaps feelings would develop with time.

As Wu Yifan’s words fell, Lin Dong, nestled in his arms, couldn’t help but act cute.

“Yes, Mother, if Daddy and you cannot be with me at the same time, I’ll be unhappy.”

Wu Yifan was about to say something, but a glance from Wu Hao stopped him. Wu Yifan was a straightforward man, and if he spoke, it might complicate things.

However, Lin Zixin’s expression showed a hint of hesitation. Clearly, she was moved but still conflicted inside.

The next moment, Lin Shuirou sighed and said, “Daughter, you’ve grown up and should have the right to pursue your own happiness. As for the Roushui Holy Land, this old body of mine can still handle it, so you can go with peace of mind.”

With Lin Shuirou’s words, Lin Zixin’s gaze grew resolute as she looked at Wu Yifan and said word by word, “For the sake of the child, I will be with you for a time, but you must not be reckless. If you act foolishly, I will leave.”

Wu Yifan really wanted to say that there was no need for her to put herself in such a difficult position, but a glance at Great Grandfather showed eyes that seemed to say he would be expelled from the Wu Family if he dared to refuse.

Moreover, seeing how pitiful Lin Dong looked in his arms, he could only nod in agreement.

“Don’t worry, I will respect you. If you are unhappy with me, I won’t insist.”

Seeing that Lin Zixin would finally marry into the Wu Family, Lin Shuirou let out a sigh of relief.

Although the Elders present were puzzled as to why Lin Shuirou would send Lin Zixin and Lin Dong away, only Lin Shuirou herself understood Wu Hao’s immense power. If she did not hand over Lin Zixin and Lin Dong, with Wu Hao’s strength, he would definitely annihilate the Roushui Holy Land and take Lin Zixin and Lin Dong away.

While the reality might have been somewhat exaggerated, it was enough to illustrate Wu Hao’s strength.
