Bai Zhanlong, though born to royalty in the lower realm lived a life worse than a servant. This was due to the fact that his mother was of low birth and his birth was nothing but and accident.
To explain in full detail, the current emperor of the white dragon empire was a prolific party animal as the crown Prince back then .during one of his many trips outside the palace, with a few drinks and a pleasant conversation with a cheerful and pretty girl he was conceived.
But as expected from one night stands , the boy had left early in the morning after another round and it was only a few weeks later that the girl found out she was pregnant and having only recently lost her virginty, it was obvious that it was the young and handsome man from that night.
The girl XiaLing though not wealthy and an orphan had managed to set up a small trading caravan at a mere tender age of 22years.
The fact that the life expectancy for a mortal in this world was between 160-200 years showed her exceptional talent since as long as one never gets involved in the world of immortal cultivation they are expected to under normal circumstances live out their lives peacefully.
With in a year YunZhanlong was born healthy and at the same time his father oblivious to the fact of his son's birth was sent to the battlefield by his father to gain experience.
In a surprising turn of events, the crown Prince turned out to be exceptionally skilled at war to the extent that in a mere two years he had ended a twenty year war with a neighboring kingdom and within five years, the declining empire of white dragon that had been bullied by many had increased it's territory by a third it's original size, it's influence reaching as far as the strongest empires controlled by the large sects, he was at the peak of his game.
Almost as though reaping great karma for past good deeds , Xialing had grown the once small caravan into a large business conglomerate, from herbs and spices to auction halls and restaurants, they even made the first ever bank in the kingdom. This already made her as strong if not stronger than most nobles and it was because of this that the emperor himself summoned the woman and her family.
It was at that moment that woman laid eyes on the emperor and the emperor on her son that they knew with out words the connection between them.
The following words from the emperor sealed it' whose son is that?'
Just as she'd been preparing to lie, the crown Prince entered the room with a woman at his side and with a startled look on his face asked' xialing what are you doing here?' .But remembering the rumors about her success deduced the reason and just as he was about to say something, all words foze in his mouth as he saw a mini copy of himself besides her.
