"They are twins... girls!" The midwife announced with a broad smile on her face. "You can enter now."
Then the two, father and son sauntered inside the chamber and saw the two newly born little babies lying over the bed beside Xuan Xuan.
It was the happiest day for everyone; especially for Donghai Lin as he felt something warm and good overflowing inside his heart and stomach.
"Dong Er, they are your little baby sisters. Aren't they cute?" Xuan Xuan asked as she tapped her hand on the bed to sit.
Lin Donghai sat over the bed and then his hands reached out for the two babies. One baby caught his thumb while the other cooed.
"Yes, they are cute and both look the same. No… they are super cute." Donghai Lin responded calmly.
His father and mother laughed out loud at hearing that.
"Then you better take care of these beautiful things, okay?" Xuan Xuan.
"Yep, I'm going to become the coldest elder brother they can ever have in the entire universe." Donghai Lin yelped on top of his lunge.
Hearing that, both the parents had a burst of hearty laughter.
Then for the next four years, Donghai Lin tried his every means to inculcate all the Eight Drunken styles into a set he perfected and also practiced the Celestial Wolf Slashing Fang. This offensive skill came after finishing the First Phase of the Invincible Celestial Wolf Divine Body Cultivation Technique.
And during this, his twin sisters would tag along with him and the White puppy became their pet. They would watch him practicing and follow him everywhere he went. To them, he became the world.
From time to time, Donghai Lin would present them with fabulous gifts; ranging from beautiful jade toys that he found inside his White Lotus Petal Space Ring. And also many delicacies that he homemade the specialty of the earth in his previous life.
Just like that, the four years had passed and Donghai Lin was now Eight may be because of the rich Qi in this place. He was as tall as fifteen years old on the previous Earth. And the twins were now four years old; one was very playful while the other had an indifferent attitude and only opened to Donghai Lin. The playful one was named Lin Xuan while the cold one was named Lin Chan. After they could walk, Donghai Lin had been teaching them the martial techniques style of the sole lady Immortal He Xiangu.
"Gege, I heard that tomorrow is going to be your Heart Root Testing day. So, don't let us down." Lin Xuan, the playful sister, said as she ate the chicken nuggets.
"Foolish Xuan, stop pressuring Gege! And what do you mean by letting us down? No, Gege is the best. Even that old fogey Lin Ren has always been fawning upon him. Now, do you think just a simple Heart Root Test will let our Gege down?" Lin Chan, the cold one, retorted, scolding the former.
"Hmph, you're the foolish one. You silly head." Lin Xuan retorted back and tossed a leg bone across Lin Chan's face.
The twin began a brawl between them, throwing the pop-corns and chicken nuggets all around, messing with Donghai Lin's living room. Currently, he was writing some scripts on a large white thin paper.
He then stood up, placing the feather pen on the table.
He glanced at the two and made a wry smile, thinking: 'Did I overindulge them into making them these spoiled?'
At that moment, the white puppy jumped down from the bed and sprinted toward him and he projected his inner voice in his head. "When I followed Uncle Lin, I did not include them in the list. Do something? They are making this place worse than a trash can."
"Alright!" Donghai Lin glanced at them and he further added, "Girls, enough with your play. I have a change of rule from today onward. Since you two make a mess out of my room, then it is your obligation to clean them up. Now, clean everything. Do you understand me?"
Lin Xuan, the playful girl, replied, pleading: "Hmph! Spare us this time, Gege. This will be our last time."
Lin Chan, the cold one, had already cleaned up several popcorns from the floor.
"Xuan Er, stop complaining. See. Chan Er has already begun the cleaning. Now, I guess Chan Er is the one who loves me and cares more about her Gege." Donghai Lin said, playing reverse psychology with her.
"No, you're wrong. I'm the one who cares most about my Gege." Lin Xuan, the playful one, responded and briskly cleaned up the room, picking up those litter. Then she would sometimes snatch those plastics which were about to be picked up by the other twin, making a goofy face at her.
Whereas Lin Chan ignored her as she always did.
"Hahaha, that's my Martial Uncle Lin that I know about!" Hui Lang, the White Puppy's inner voice, chimed in Donghai Lin's head.
The following day, they held a large function in the Lin Manor as today was the day for the Martial Root test for the Lin Family's younger generation between the ages of eight and twelve.
They invited even various masters to the ceremony and the patriarchs of the other three major families of Xue Prefecture; the Xu, the Sun, and the Wu were invited.
Everyone on the VIP lists had arrived and was treated to a morning light refreshment.
When it was 8:00 am, Patriarch Lin Ren came out, standing on the vast playground, which was designed with various magical arrays.
"Today, I, the Patriarch of the Lin family, welcome everyone here for coming to my family's Martial Root Test. If any of your families' younglings wish to join, then please be my guest." Patriarch Lin Ren announced, giving his opening speech. "Alright, I'll activate the testing machines."
Then he scuttled forward toward the center of the playground* and sat over in a lotus-shaped position.
After that, Old Patriarch Ren began chanting a mantra making various hands' seals, and then a pair of magical symbols were formed in his hands, which formed from his internal Qi.
Then, he slapped his palms onto the ground, yelping: "Activate!"
Then, various multicolor lights were emitted from various diagrams over the ground and a tremor happened as three gigantic human statues immersed out from the underground.
Donghai Lin, who was standing among the crowd, wondered in his head, saying: 'Hmm, interesting!'
