"What's going here?!"
Spoke the annoyed man dressed in dark yellow robes.
He had long flowing black hair that grew down to his back with flawless porcelain skin and broad shoulders.
He was ridiculously handsome to the point where it actually pissed me off I mean this guy was drop-dead gorgeous.
Not just that he was incredibly powerful so powerful he could crush the old man with a single attack and he was the strongest person I ever knew.
His presence called forth the wind and rain whipping the sky into a frenzy.
The wind howled and dark raindrops assault the ground and within it contained a strange melting power causing the surrounding structures to crumble.
I felt a strange power attached to his body that was oddly familiar to me.
I reached out to it and forced it to stop causing the storm to disappear.
This caused the man to become incredibly surprised his wind and rain call ability was canceled just like that.
It's shouldn't be possible only a cultivator of a higher realm who had the same or similar ability could possibly do such a thing.
This infant wasn't even a cultivator yet he was more than surprised he was shocked.
The man walked over to the crib passing the frightened Ao Mei and the terrified Shi Xi.
He stared at him with an emotionless expression not saying a single word.
"I think I know what's going on Mao Jiang tried to kill my son and was killed instead then you Shi Xi in an act of vengeance attempt to murder not just Ao Mei but also my son to correct," said the man with an emotionless tone.
Shi Xi stiffened at his cold unfeeling voice and was going to try and reason with him but stopped herself upon realizing something.
"You called our son Mao Jiang not even caring that he's dead I know he was a late bloomer but he was still our...
"Silence Shi Xi!" yelled the man with a pissed-off look on his face.
Shi Xi visibly began to panic at this point and was even prepared to beg for her life but before she could Ao Mei ran to him and tightly embraced him.
"Oh mighty Mao Ling It's true this vile woman was going to bring harm to your beloved wife and son, oh please help us," cried Ao Mei with obvious crocodile tears.
Shi Xi became enraged by her words what did she mean beloved wife she was the first wife you're just some slut from a small clan he married because you have a physique perfect for dual cultivation.
Other than that you're a manipulative bitch with a fat chest who goes around acting like everyone is beneath you even though you're pitifully weak.
As for your son, that was just born today it's not far he's so strong not even a cultivator but already possessing such extraordinary strength and even being favored by the laws of the great Dao it just wasn't fair.
Shi Xi was the daughter of the massive Shi clan which was well known for producing powerful sword cultivators.
Granted she's the daughter of a collateral line but even so, she was born with a sword heart which made her perfect for cultivating sword Qi.
Not just that she reached the peak of the Nascent soul realm by the age of 18 which was a very impressive feat in the barren southern lands.
While Ao Mei only recently stepped into that very same realm it wasn't fair why does Mao Ling favor her and not me?
Shi Xi was on her knees whimpering while trying to figure out why she was so disliked then it came to her it was her son's fault.
Mao Jiang was weak she always knew this it wasn't until he was 27 that he broke through to the Nascent soul realm and even then he was mediocre.
So of course, Mao Ling disliked her she produced a worthless child while Ao Mei birthed a freak.
Which is what Mao Ling the thunder lord wanted a freakishly strong child to serve him and take over his position as clan lord when he grew older.
Everyone in the southern lands knew about him the genius who reached the Ascension realm at the young age of 16 by mastering the great Dao of thunderstorms.
He was so strong he founded this clan as its first master and secured a stop as an elite disciple in the sacred sun sect one of the three super sects controlling the southern lands.
There was no fighting back against him whatever fate he decided for her she had to accept it.
"Listen here, Shi Xi out of respect for your elder Shi Chao I won't kill you but I want you to stay far away from both Ao Mei and my son, or else now leave," said a cold Mao Ling.
Shi Xi ran away quickly while sobbing making sure to take her son's body with her on her way out.
Ao Mei grinned maliciously at the crying Shi Xi she couldn't be any happier right now.
Giving birth was a nightmare but it was all worth it because she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy blessed with a powerful body.
One so strong he killed that annoying Mao Jiang at only a day old a feat that even impressed his father.
This is perfect she only recently became a Nascent soul realm cultivator after dual cultivating with Mao Ling and comprehending the yin yang Dao and was still too weak but now that didn't matter.
She had his favor and even had a child who could surpass this monster in the future everything was perfect hehehehe.
As Ao Mei giggled to herself, Mao Ling pushed her away and looked at me then back at her.
"What's his name?" asked Mao Ling.
"Huh? His name? Oh yes, his name um?" said the confused Ao Mei as she tried to think of a name for her son.
Just as she was about to say something Mao Ling interrupted her.
"His name is Mao Qiang," said Mao Ling before leaving in a flash of thunder.
Ao Mei just stood there puzzled at the fact he personally named him which was not something he's done even for his first child Mao Jiang.
She walked over and picked her unusually calm child up and smiled.
"Qiang huh that means strength so he acknowledged you as someone strong," said a positively giddy Ao Mei.
She walked out into the hallway carrying her child to another room this time one even more luxurious than before and placed him in an even more expensive and well-crafted crib before leaving.
I lay in the crib tired and decided to sleep but not before admiring my new name Mao Qiang.
