Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Xie Household.
A man who looked to be around thirty years old was pacing back and forth in front of a room, with a child of about two years old standing beside him.
Suddenly, a baby's cry came from inside the room. The middle-aged man was overjoyed and hurriedly knocked on the door, asking, "How is it? Did my wife give birth?"
However, the midwife's urgent voice came from inside: "Lord Xie, Madam... Madam is having twins this time. The elder brother is already out, and now there's still the younger sister."
That's right, the person before them was none other than the father of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, Xie Tian.
It wasn't until half an hour later, with the smooth birth of the second child, that Xie Tian finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.
Although both he and Hu Le Yao were Spirit Masters with considerable cultivation, as a father and husband, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
The little boy on the side had a face full of innocence and joy: "Dad, am I going to have a younger brother and sister?"
Xie Tian squatted down and rubbed Xie Yue's head with a smile: "Yes, Yue'er, you are an older brother now. You must lead by example from now on. If Dad and Mom are ever not by your side in the future, you must protect your younger brother and sister."
Xie Yue nodded heavily, his eyes filled with determination.
Then, the door opened. Xie Tian strode forward. He didn't look at the two children first but instead concerned himself with Hu Le Yao's condition. Seeing her pale face and the cold sweat on her forehead, Xie Tian's heart ached: "Yao'er, how are you feeling now? It's all because of these two stinky brats. When they grow up, make sure they repay you properly!"
The two babies: Fine, fine, you two are true love; we're clearly just accidents.
Hu Le Yao laughed instead: "Brother Tian, I've given birth before, so how could there be any danger? It's just that because of the twins this time, my physical strength and spirit power have been quite exhausted. Alright, come and see the two children."
A boy and a girl, two infants wrapped in swaddling clothes, were now lying next to Hu Le Yao's pillow.
"Yao'er, you should name them. We agreed that Xie Yue would take my surname, and the second child would take yours."
Hu Le Yao had originally wanted the boy to take Xie Tian's surname since there were two children, but Xie Tian didn't care. He didn't think there was a need to divide it like that. Since he was the only one left in his family anyway, he would love the three children regardless of their surnames. Of course, his wife came first.
This provoked a round of laughing scolding from Hu Le Yao. They were an old married couple, yet he still said such mushy things.
Ultimately, the boy was named Hu Bai, and the girl was named Hu Liena.
Hu Bai lay to the side, watching the two show their affection, sighing in his heart. Are these two his father and mother in this life?
When he heard the names of Hu Liena and the brother introduced to him, Xie Yue, he was certain: this was undoubtedly the World of the Douluo Continent. He had clearly been reborn into this World after dying on Blue Star. Damn that truck driver!
Since Hu Le Yao only gave birth to Hu Liena as her second child in the original work, Hu Bai's presence was clearly not a Possession, but a Rebirth into the womb.
In the original work, there wasn't much introduction to Hu Liena's parents, but it was certain that they must have passed away for some reason before Hu Liena's Spirit Awakening. Doesn't this mean he's destined to have both parents dead from a young age?
In other Worlds, that would be a classic protagonist template, but in this World... Hu Bai sighed. If possible, he would do his best to keep his parents by his side to look after them, at least so they wouldn't die for no apparent reason.
Because he had just been born, his infant brain capacity couldn't support too much thinking, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
Six years later.
Now, both Hu Bai and Hu Liena possessed peerless faces capable of charming all living beings, perfectly inheriting Hu Le Yao's temperament.
Hu Bai wore a white robe and had snow-white long hair. Although his face still had a bit of childishness, he was already a handsome young man.
"Brother Bai, Nana, Father is taking you to the Supreme Pontiff Palace today for your Spirit Awakening. Let's set off quickly. I wonder if you two will awaken Father's Moonblade Spirit or Mother's Charming Fox Spirit."
"I think both Bai Gege and I will awaken the Charming Fox Spirit. Mother said that a Spirit will subtly influence a Spirit Master's temperament even before Awakening. Look at me, I'm naturally beautiful, and Bai Gege goes without saying—he's the best-looking among the three of us."
Hu Bai retorted somewhat helplessly: "Nana, you should use the word 'handsome.' How can you use 'beautiful' to describe a man? Or, you could say I'm good-looking."
"Hmph, I won't! Blehh~~" Hu Liena playfully stuck out her little tongue.
Xie Yue nodded, agreeing in his heart with what his sister said. As they walked, he said: "Nana has a point. Brother, sometimes I feel you are too intelligent. At such a young age, you actually discovered that Whale Glue is not just for virility, but can also improve a Spirit Master's Physique."
"If you hadn't submitted this discovery to Spirit Hall, allowing Mom and Dad to stay behind two years ago, they might have already..."
Two years ago, Xie Yue awakened his Moonblade Spirit with level nine Innate spirit power. Spirit Hall then assigned a mission to the Xie couple, who had been resting for many years: a large number of Wolftaken were suspected to be appearing within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were required to lead Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters to encircle and suppress them.
At that time, Hu Bai had gone crazy for some reason and refused to let the couple go on the mission unless Spirit Hall dispatched a Titled Douluo to accompany them.
Undoubtedly, this was initially rejected by Bibi Dong. Although Wolftaken were cunning by nature, as Spirit Saint experts who also possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, wouldn't it be a simple matter for Xie Tian and Hu Le Yao to deal with a pack of Wolftaken?
But at that time, Hu Bai had a bad premonition in his heart, and it was very strong. He felt that if he didn't do something, his parents might perish in that mission.
One must know that in the original work, Tang San and his group encountered Wolftaken and fought a very difficult battle. Even with Tang San's cheats, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others suffered significant injuries.
An ordinary Wolftaken's strength might only be at the level of twenty or thirty, but unfortunately, Wolftaken were social creatures; five hundred Wolftaken could resist ten thousand soldiers.
And in this World of Douluo, whether a Titled Douluo can resist ten thousand soldiers is still up for debate.
Although a Titled Douluo's strength is great, their spirit power is limited!
In the end, Bibi Dong personally tested Xie Yue's Physique with spirit power. Having just awakened his Spirit, he was already able to withstand a spirit ring of about six hundred years, breaking the theoretical limit for the first spirit ring published by Yu Xiaogang!
