Talisman Emperor
Chapter 423 Father and Son
Instantly, everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this clear, melodious, young voice. Chen An's?
Swish!
Everyone out of the room.
Chen Xi was even excited to the point of wanting to crawl out of her bed, but unfortunately, she did not have the slightest strength in her body. He struggled for a moment, but other than feeling the heart waves that were making a great pain, he could not even lift a finger.
"Wow! What a handsome little boy! ”
"He is handsome. His eyebrows and nose were like Chen Xi's, and his eyes and mouth were like his mother's. Moreover, her skin was extremely shiny and beautiful. She's even prettier than a girl. ”
"Let me see, let me see. ”
After a while, a wave of exclamations of admiration sounded from outside the room, and it caused Chen Xi to burn impatiently. It felt as if a hundred claws were scratching his heart, and he was eager to wish for nothing more than to have another pair of legs.
Just when Chen Xi was feeling extremely anxious, everyone crowded around a young boy as they entered the room.
This boy was about four or five years old, and he was wearing embroidered white silk clothes. He had a pair of gallant eyebrows and starry eyes, a pair of pink lips and white teeth, and the space between his eyebrows was filled with a spirit of heroism and incredible intelligence.
Even though he was young, he did not have any mischievous nature, and he was calm and composed. At this moment, when everyone was swarming around him like a cluster of stars swarming around a bright moon, he did not feel the slightest embarrassment nor did he reveal an expression of arrogance and satisfaction. His disposition was calm and composed, neither arrogant nor hurried, and his every move faintly had the indifferent style that Qing Xiuyi possessed.
That little fellow was naturally Chen An.
Chen Xi was stunned as soon as she saw Chen An. It was as if he had noticed the most precious and most outstanding heavenly object in the world, causing his gaze to carry an excited, satisfied, shocked, and confused expression, he said, and he was unable to return to his senses for a long time.
When Chen Xi looked at Chen An, the little man also looked at Chen Xi. His gaze was deep and lively, and carried a hint of curiosity, yet it did not contain the excitement that Chen Xi had imagined him to have when he saw his father.
Perhaps, this was his most authentic reaction.
From the day he was born, he had never experienced what fatherly love was, nor did he know that there was the most intimate person in the world, and that person was called 'father. '
Although she was pulled here by her mother to acknowledge her father and had met Chen Xi now, she was just curious, yet not too excited or happy.
When Chen Xi noticed the wisp of ignorance and curiosity in Chen An's eyes, a wisp of sadness and pain gushed out suddenly from his heart without any reason or rhyme. Maybe An'er doesn't know of my past existence at all?
"May I know if uncle is my father?" Chen An spoke with a clear voice and a serious expression, and he was very polite, making it seem as if he did not acknowledge loved ones but spoke solemnly to a senior.
"Yes!" Chen Xi replied without the slightest hesitation. He knew that since they had not met for so many years, there was an enormous ignorance and barrier between him and An'er. But, he firmly believed that as long as the little boy remained by his side, this layer of barrier would be completely removed, and Chen An would feel a sense of care and affection.
"Mother told me that you will take care of me in the future, right?" Chen An opened his clear and dark eyes wide as he stared directly at Chen Xi and continued to speak seriously.
"Yes!" Chen Xi replied very firmly, and her words revealed an undoubted feeling. After which, he seemed to have realized something, and he hesitated for a long time before he asked. "Maybe you don't feel like being separated from your mother?"
Chen An was speechless as his eyes reddened and it was as if tears were about to come out.
Chen Xi wished for nothing more than slapping herself when she saw this. It was clear that An'er had just parted ways with Qing Xiuyi and had a bad mood, yet I still mentioned the matter. I'm a real idiot.
"Right, where's your mom? I heard earlier that he brought you. '' Chen Xi took a deep breath and tried to comfort the little man so that the little man was not too sad.
The pitiful appearance of that little fellow when he was on the verge of tears caused Chen Xi to be completely flustered. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was too stupid and completely lost his composure and intelligence, causing him to be no different from a pig.
"Then .." Chen Xi opened her mouth but hesitated to speak because she was so afraid of bothering the little man again, and her feelings were complicated to the extreme.
Everyone felt amused and felt sorry for this father and son pair when they saw this. They end up meeting each other after not seeing each other for years, yet there is no joy or happiness that everyone expects, and they both seem like strangers, it makes it a very sad sight.
Just as everyone was trying to speak and adjust the atmosphere, Chen An took a deep breath suddenly, and his clear eyes looked solemnly at Chen Xi as he said, "My mother said, "My mother said, that I should learn how to be independent and not depend on anyone even if I follow the father's side. So you don't have to worry about me making trouble for you, and I'm not going to cry and make other people laugh at you either. ”
Chen An paused for a moment and continued. “If I do it unsatisfactoryly, please feel free to punish me. I'm really not going to be mad at you. '' Chen An's clear, melodious, young voice echoed in the room, causing everyone to feel silent without a sound. What kind of environment causes a four or five-year-old to know how to show understanding and comfort others?
At this moment, tears could not help but flow suddenly from Chen Xi's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "Aner, can you come and hug me?"
If not for his entire body lacking a bit of energy, he desperately hoped to spread his hands, pull the little boy into his arms, and protect Chen An by his side forever.
"Of course . I'll listen to everything you say in the future. '' Chen An nodded before walking forward and opening his arms to hug Chen Xi's neck.
As she placed her chin on An'er's rather thin and small shoulder, Chen Xi was unable to control her feelings as she repeated An'er's name repeatedly. He remembered his grandfather, recalling his missing parents without a trace, he remembered .. At this moment, he very much wished that they were all present to share this very pleasant surprise with him.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
When everyone saw this, they left the room silently as they were so afraid that it would interfere with this intimate exchange between the father and son pair.
…
Half a month later, Chen Xi's body recovered completely.
Not only that, after he experienced the great energy baptism of the Dragon Origin Essence, he looked like he had transformed into an entirely new body. The meridians throughout his body were vast, tough, strong, crystalline, and translucent, his bones were as white as snow, pure, and engulfed with a light golden crystal luster, all of them pure, his massive vital energy and blood flowed throughout his body like seething bursts, and his internal organs resonated and resonated with the voice of the Grand Dao.
Even the golden core within his dantian was covered in a thick layer of golden streaks that looked like dragon scales, and exuded the ancient aura of the Ancestral Dragon.
On the other hand, his soul had even reached incredible heights. The sweep of his soul caused a light movement in the area of 5,000 km to be unable to escape detection.
At this moment, his strength was more than double the amount before the Allstar meeting. If he went against a rebirth Realm Cultivator now, then he was confident of being able to kill a Rebirth Realm cultivator.
But the benefits of the Dragon Origin Essence were not just this. Even to the point that he had only completely refined the 10% of the Dragon Origin Essence he had absorbed from the Dragon Transformation Pool, and all the remaining 90% were sealed within his body, he said, waiting to be used to condense the Wheel of Rebirth as it advanced into the Realm of Rebirth.
Such a staggering increase in strength did not cause Chen Xi to feel any pleasure in the slightest, as his current thoughts were fully placed on his son, Chen An.
After being in contact for half a month, she and Chen An gradually became familiar with each other. At the very least, the little man had already started to slowly open his heart and talk to his father, Chen Xi, about the things that happened in the early part of his life. Although it was only a few words, it had already caused Chen Xi to smile widely.
But what bothered Chen Xi was that until now, An'er had never called him as a father and had always called him as 'you. '
Clearly, there was still a formless barrier in An'er's young heart against Chen Xi, his biological father. Perhaps, on the day this barrier disappeared would be the day that this pair of father and son were considered to be truly intimate.
Chen Xi understood that she could not rush over, and she needed some time to slowly melt the barrier.
Unfortunately, the time he left behind was already insufficient. Just yesterday, Zhen Liuqing had already sent the news that three days from now, Emperor Chu would summon the top 10 at the Allstar Meeting this time around to discuss the matter of entering the Ancient Battlefield.
