Su Chen still had high hopes for the Fortress of the Gods. In the past, he had never truly developed his own forces, whether it was the Soul Hall, the Immortal Dawn Sect, or the Spiritual Mountain Sect. Although he was part of them, his mind was always wandering outside.
However, with the Fortress of the Gods, Su Chen would have a territory that belonged entirely to him and was completely under his control. With such a territory, Su Chen would be even more concerned about establishing a force that belonged entirely to him.
Of course, Su Chen was not a hardworking person. It was impossible for him to cultivate, so he could only squeeze the System and try his luck. However, he had been in the Spiritual Mountain and Jing Province for so many years and had more or less adapted to the environment of the Immortal Cultivation World. Therefore, he was very clear about the enormous benefits of having a force that was under his control.
Therefore, this matter had to be brought up on his agenda, and the sooner the better.
Back then on the Origin Planet, the words of the Compassionate Light Goddess were still fresh in his mind. If there was a day when a calamity really came, having an impregnable fortress would definitely be a great advantage.
"Husband …"
Suddenly, Royal Dream Butterfly's expression became a little strange.
Su Chen hurriedly went over to support her. With a glance, he saw that Imperial Dream Butterfly's fetus was moving. This was a sign that she was about to give birth.
His child … was about to be born?
Su Chen was stunned.
It was Imperial Consort Hua who had experienced it before and was the first to react. She hurriedly said, "Chen 'er, quickly prepare a delivery room!"
"Oh, okay …"
Su Chen came back to his senses. With a wave of his hand, a sterile delivery room rose from the ground in the City of Gods. He hurriedly carried Imperial Dream Butterfly and walked in. Imperial Consort Hua followed closely behind.
Imperial Dream Butterfly saw Su Chen's panicked expression and held Su Chen's hand instead. She comforted him, "Husband, don't worry. I'm fine. It's just that this child is very naughty. It hasn't come out yet, but it's already making waves in my room. It must be that it can't stand the loneliness and wants to come out to play."
Su Chen was sweating profusely. He reached out and touched Royal Dream Butterfly's stomach, only to see a small palm print coming out from inside. It exchanged a palm with Su Chen from a distance, which immediately amused Su Chen.
"This little girl is indeed naughty. However, it's better to be naughty. My, Su Chen's daughter must be fearless. She must be the brightest child in the world!" Su Chen said cheerfully.
Royal Dream Butterfly rolled her eyes at Su Chen. "It's better for girls to be more ladylike."
"Haha, whatever … Whatever!"
An hour later, Su Chen walked out of the delivery room with the infant in his arms.
Imperial Dream Butterfly was a Heaven Pillar Realm Sage, after all. There was definitely no risk in giving birth to a child. In fact, it only took a few minutes for the baby to be born naturally. However, it took some time to bathe and dress the baby.
Su Chen watched over the entire process and witnessed the birth of a new life. In particular, when he saw the baby's red little hand firmly grasping his finger, the feeling of inheriting a bloodline touched him greatly. It was as if even his cultivation and mental state had been baptized.
The girls who were waiting outside the door all gathered around.
"Quick, let Auntie hug you … What a beautiful young lady. She has bright eyes and white teeth as soon as she was born. She's like a fairy!"
"So fragrant …"
"Her hand is so small …"
Lin Yuerou: "Husband, have you thought of a name?"
Su Chen nodded. "She's called Su Xiaodie."
…
In the next month or so, Su Chen only did two things.
First, he arranged for Queen Shana to enter the Fortress of the Gods and carry out a comprehensive renovation of the Fortress of the Gods. This included the laying of Spirit Qi pipes and all other infrastructure projects. Su Chen handed them all to Shana.
Then … for the rest of the time, Su Chen turned into a full-time stay-at-home dad and played around with Su Xiaodie every day.
This little girl had inherited Su Chen and Imperial Dream Butterfly's outstanding bloodline. Furthermore, Su Chen had concocted many immortal pills for her to consume, which increased her Xiantian Qi. When she was born, her cultivation was at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Three days later, she had already reached the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. She could transcend the tribulation and break through to the Sage Stage at any time.
Su Chen was worried that her transcending the tribulation now would be dangerous, so he intentionally suppressed the growth of her cultivation. He was prepared to let her have a happy and worry-free childhood for two years before thinking about cultivation.
"Daddy … I want to drink Nainai …"
Su Xiaodie opened her arms and wobbled towards Su Chen.
Su Chen was about to reach out to hug her, but in the next second, Su Xiaodie suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.
Su Chen was shocked. Then, he saw Heavenspan Empress appear out of nowhere and was hugging Su Xiaodie and playing with her.
How would Su Xiaodie know the identity and strength of the woman in front of her? She was amused by Heavenspan Empress and laughed. Then, she actually burrowed under Heavenspan Empress' collar. "Drink Nainai … Nainai …"
Su Chen was shocked. He quickly went forward and carried Su Xiaodie back, handing her to Imperial Dream Butterfly who had just arrived.
Heavenspan Empress smiled. She pointed her finger and a green jade pendant flew into Su Xiaodie's hand. "A gift for you."
The little girl seemed to understand Heavenspan Empress's words. She carefully held the jade pendant in her hand and said in a childish voice, "Thank you … Thank you, little mommy …"
"Cough, cough …"
Su Chen almost sprained his back when he heard Su Xiaodie call her little mommy. He had no choice. Usually, besides him and Imperial Dream Butterfly, it was Lin Yuerou and the others who played with Su Xiaodie. Over time, Su Xiaodie only knew how to call them mommy, daddy, mommy, and grandma.
Heavenspan Empress was not angry. She said to Su Chen, "Get ready. We will leave tomorrow."
"No problem!"
After Heavenspan Empress left, Imperial Dream Butterfly asked curiously, "Husband, who was that? She seemed to have a powerful background."
"Not only that. You can't find a woman with a more powerful background than her in the Hong Meng Universe."
Imperial Dream Butterfly immediately understood something. She took a deep breath and said, "She's actually the legendary Heavenly Empress. She doesn't seem like the rumors. She looks quite gentle … Oh right, husband, are you going on a long trip with the Heavenly Empress tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have to do something. I don't know how long it will take. Xiaodie has just been born, and I have to leave. I am not a good father."
Imperial Dream Butterfly said, "Proper business is more important. We'll take care of Little Butterfly, so there won't be any problems. However, if that girl finds out, she definitely won't let you leave. I think you shouldn't say goodbye to her tomorrow. Leave quietly so that she won't bother you."
Su Chen: "That is the only way."
The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Su Chen sneaked out of the house.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Su Chen saw Empress Tongtian standing on the beach by the sea. The slightly brightening sky reflected her unparalleled back, and the sea breeze blew her long hair and skirt. Who would have thought that the two of them were not going on a vacation, but to the underworld of the underworld?
