Chapter 557: Many children, many blessings
The next day, half an hour before noon.

Early in the morning, Lord Aerys Targaryen of Stormwind stood in front of the Duke's mansion wearing a dark blue robe with gold lines.

This was an experience that Duke Iris had never had in his eighty years of life, simply because the person waiting this time was of a very special nature.

In the eyes of Lord Aerys Targaryen, throughout the Douluo Continent, there are people whose status is higher than that of the upcoming one, but they can definitely be counted on one's fingers, and can barely be said to be two and a half.

One is the 'invincible on the ground' Tang Chen; the other is the 'invincible in the sky' Qian Daoliu.

As an 'old man' who had personally witnessed the rise of these two 'invincible' men, Duke Iris was very glad that the strongest man in his family for hundreds of years was only an eight-ringed Soul Douluo.

How many powerful and prominent families, after those two came to their door, the purple gold beams across the sea collapsed, the white jade pillars supporting the sky broke, and the huge family businesses fell apart, just like the former [Taiyi Zhong Wu Family].

The road to invincibility was built with piles of bones, not to mention that two "invincibles" were born in the same era.

In that era, mediocre people were lucky because they witnessed a magnificent era. But for geniuses, it was sad because they were illuminated dimly.

Fortunately, although the [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family] dominated an area in the [Tiandou Empire], it was still inferior to the top families with Titled Douluo like the [Taiyi Zhong Wu Family]. Although Tang Chen had beaten them before, Duke Iris's grandfather was not killed directly because of the difference in strength. He was able to hold on until Iris grew up and inherited the title of Duke, and only then was he able to close his eyes in peace.

Having been in charge of the Storm Wolf Targaryen Family for nearly thirty years, Aerys Targaryen has met many people, including the former ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xuerong, the current leader of the Haotian Sect, Tang Zhen, the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, Yu Yuanzhen, and the former leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Mofan... They are all people who stand at the pinnacle of power and strength in the Douluo Continent. Duke Aerys will respect them, but he will not be servile to them.

The person who came today is almost on par with the current Pope of [Spirit Hall] Qian Xunji. Apart from Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu who have disappeared for decades, the most dazzling star in Douluo Continent in the past fifty years is [Lingyun City] Lord Ling Yi!
"Grandpa, we don't know when Master Ling will arrive. Why don't you go in and wait..."

Seeing his grandfather standing at the door for a long time, Viserys Targaryen's eyes, which once looked majestic, now showed a bit of uneasiness, and he couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.

"Shut up!" Duke Iris frowned and turned around, scolding coldly: "Now that I'm out, what's the point of going in again?!"

Lord Aerys's gaze was as sharp as lightning, which put great pressure on Viserys Targaryen. He trembled his lips a few times and finally lowered his head cautiously.

Just as Lord Aerys opened his mouth to say something, Rhaegar Targaryen suddenly reminded him, "Master Ling is here!"

Hearing this, Lord Aerys no longer bothered to continue scolding his grandson Viserys, and turned his gaze to the end of the street not far away.

I saw a young man in azure blue clothes, riding on the back of a majestic black horse, walking towards this side slowly and leisurely.

With just one glance, the demeanor of the young man in blue cedar was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in front of the Duke's Mansion. Even if decades pass in the future, it is probably difficult to forget.

It was clearly just a simple walk of one man and one horse, but it gave people a very special feeling, as if the other party was the core of this street or even this Tiandou City.

As the strongest man in front of the Duke's Mansion, Duke Iris received the strongest shock. He noticed the gentle smile on the visitor's lips, but he couldn't help but think of the man he had met when he was young.

The man who had hit [Storm Dragon Wolf, Targaryen Family] with only three hammer strikes, three very casual hammer strikes, had defeated the strongest of the [Targaryen Family] at that time—'Haotian Douluo' Tang Chen!
The other party had this kind of smile on his face from the time he appeared until he left. There was no condescension, no disdain, and no aggression. Instead, it was a nonchalant, peaceful smile of a strong man.

When there was still about twenty meters away, Ling Yi dismounted from the horse, and walked forward holding the reins of Taxue.

At the same time, Lord Aerys Targaryen had already hurried over with his two grandsons.

When the two sides were still about seven or eight meters apart, Duke Aerys stopped, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly: "[Targaryen Family], Aerys Targaryen, spirit "Storm Dragon Wolf", level 83 strong attack spirit Douluo, meet Master Ling!"

"Rhaegar Targaryen, spirit 'Storm Dragon Wolf', level 59 strong attack system war spirit king, meet Master Ling!"

"Viserys Targaryen, Martial Soul "Storm Dragon Wolf", Level 57 Agility Attack War Soul King, meet Master Ling!"

Viserys is five years younger than his eldest brother, and is thirty-five years old this year, but the two brothers are almost the same in strength.

Ling Yi's eyes swept over the three people who came to greet him, and he quickened his pace. He took a few steps forward, loosened the reins in his hand, raised his hand to Duke Iris, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Duke is too polite. In terms of age and strength, you are my senior. It is Ling Yi who should greet you."

Having said that, without giving Duke Iris a chance to be polite, he continued, "[Lingyun City], Ling Yi, martial soul "Aoki Blue Silver Emperor", 82nd level healing soul douluo, greets Duke Baofeng, hello, both of you."

"I dare not~I dare not~" Iris waved her hands repeatedly, and said modestly: "Master Ling is famous all over the world and highly respected. I have heard of your name for a long time and have long wanted to meet you. Now I am fortunate to have the honor of inviting Master Ling to my humble home. It is really an honor for me——"

As he spoke, a smile broke out on Duke Iris's handsome, thin, old face, and even his wrinkles seemed to be smoothed out.

Very good, on their first meeting, Ling Yi’s performance made Duke Iris feel very welcome, which gave him great confidence in the upcoming meeting.

Master Ling is indeed an approachable, humble and polite gentleman!

However, this pleasant atmosphere suddenly dissipated in less than a quarter of an hour, catching Viserys Targaryen, who was accompanying them throughout the whole process, off guard.

Ling Yi rejected the request of Duke Iris to accept the eldest prince of the [Tiandou Empire] Xue Luoshu as his disciple without any hesitation, without even a glimmer of room for maneuver.

Lord Aerys's face was not looking good. Ling Yi's politeness and gentleness before gave him a great illusion, making him think that Ling Yi was a good person to talk to. At the same time, he also had a good impression of them [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family]. Who knew...

"Master Ling, you might as well reconsider it~" Seeing the situation at a stalemate, Rehgar Targaryen raised his wine glass and said to Ling Yijing: "Luo Shu's innate soul power has reached level seven. Although it is not as good as the eldest princess's innate full soul power, if he is properly trained in the future, he may be able to break through to the realm of the eight-ring soul douluo."

"Of course, I also know that an eight-ring Soul Douluo may not mean much to you, Master Ling, but what I want to say is that with Luo Shu's own talent and the support of us uncles, he has a 99% chance of taking that position in the future."

"And with your guidance and support, then, perhaps we can return to attack Xing Luo and take over the entire Douluo Continent..."

"Brother Rhaegar~"

Ling Yi interrupted Rhaegar Targaryen's empty talk, chuckled and shook his head, "Don't say the following~"

Rhaegar Targaryen frowned slightly, but recovered in an instant. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Ling, I spoke out of turn."

"Where~"

Ling Yi brought the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, played with the glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "However, although the two empires occasionally have minor frictions, they are generally at peace. The [Spirit Hall] and the [Clear Sky Sect] are in their heyday, and the Douluo Continent is a place of singing and dancing. It is better not to say something that is not conducive to peace-"

Hearing this, the three Targaryen generations present all twitched their lips.

They didn't know why, but when they heard this kind of high-sounding official language, they always felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. They also didn't know why Master Ling in front of them could say it so naturally.

Just like that, the banquet ended in a dull manner with the three generations of the Targaryen family not enjoying the food. Ling Yi finally put away the three red beads the size of his little fingertip without leaving a trace, and left leisurely holding Taxue's hand.

With Ling Yi's departure, perhaps because the wine was a little too strong, Duke Iris and his two grandsons all felt a little dizzy.

He glanced at the jar of "Xuanbing Bihuo Wine" on the table. This was a treasure-level wine that they had bought at the Lingyun Auction last year. It was rated as first-class Grade A. A small pot of it could be worth a fortune!
"call--"

Rhaegar Targaryen shook his heavy head, turned to Lord Aerys and asked, "Grandpa, Master Ling has refused. Judging from his tone, he has not considered it at all. What about Luo Shu?"

Duke Iris's face flashed with green light, and he looked much clearer. The alcohol and medicinal power of the "Mysterious Ice and Jade Fire Wine" were refined by his soul power. Feeling the vitality in his body become more active, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have also made an appointment with Ning Fengzhi from the [Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect]."

"Master Ning?" Upon hearing this, Rhaegar Targaryen nodded thoughtfully: "It is a good choice."

Next to him, Viserys Targaryen was watching the incoherent conversation between his grandfather and his eldest brother. He felt completely confused. His already groggy head felt as if it was filled with paste, so heavy and bewildered that he almost hit his head on the table.

"Humph!"

Noticing Viserys's useless performance, Aerys Targaryen glared at him with dissatisfaction, but unfortunately he only saw the back of his head covered with white hair.

"This kid is already useless~"

Aerys Targaryen cursed in a low voice, turned his head and said to Rhaegar Targaryen, "Rhaegar, you have to work harder. Although your talent is not very good, you have the blood of the Storm Wolf of our [Targaryen family] after all. You have to work hard with the twenty wives and concubines chosen for you. As long as you can give birth to a child with excellent talent, the opportunity you deserve will be given to you by your grandfather..."

"Don't worry, Grandpa~"

Hearing words like 'The prince is ill, you should encourage him', Rhaegar Targaryen's eyes lit up immediately, and he patted his chest and assured: "I dare not say that I can tie the record of Eagle Soaring, but at least I can reach the record of Vain Sorrow!"

Ying Xiang, 33 years old, martial soul "Fierce Wind Falcon", 43rd level agility attack type fighting soul sect.

Juanshang, 31 years old, martial spirit "Sawtooth Scythe", 41st level strong attack type fighting spirit sect.

Both of them were civilian soul masters who joined the [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family] more than ten years ago, and successively married daughters of the [Targaryen Family]'s side branch.

Logically speaking, marrying a woman from the Targaryen family is no different from marrying into the family half-way, given the gap in status and strength between the two parties.

However, I don't know if it was because these two men were too good at sweet talk or because they were too charming, but their wives didn't mind them continuing to take concubines, and sometimes even took the initiative to help introduce them to women they were interested in.

Although most of them are just ordinary people without soul power, with only a few zero-ring soul masters and one-ring soul masters, these wives and concubines gave birth to dozens of children for them!
To date, Ying Xiang has 18 sons and 23 daughters. Excluding the 10 who have not yet awakened their martial spirits, among the remaining 31 children, there is one with level 5 innate spirit power, two with level 4, two with level 3, seven with level 2, and a total of 19 with level 1 and half! Not a single one without spirit power!!!

It can be said that Ying Xiang and his twenty wives and concubines gave birth to a small to medium-sized soul master family!

He originally joined the [Storm Dragon Wolf Targaryen Family] as an individual, but after Ying Xiang's operation, he became a subordinate soul master family with a certain degree of autonomy and a high status!

The same goes for Juan Shang, who also has twenty wives and concubines and gave birth to ten sons and eight daughters. Four of them are now under the age of six, and the rest all have innate soul power, with the lowest being half a level and the highest being close to level six!

What needs to be explained here is that the two children with innate level five soul power, Yingxiang and Juanshang, were both born to women from the Targaryen family. The former's child had an awakened spirit of "Storm Dragon Wolf", while the latter's child had an awakened spirit of "Wind-Splitting Scythe" with wind attribute power!
In Aerys Targaryen's opinion, in terms of bloodline, Rhaegar Targaryen is naturally much better than the two daughters of the side branches, and the twenty women he found for Rhaegar all possessed soul power. In this way, the children and descendants that are eventually conceived must have great hope of giving birth to a genius great-grandson with innate soul power of level seven, or even above!
Of course, before the birth of his genius great-grandson, what Aerys Targaryen has to do now is to increase the chances of his grandson Sheluoshu successfully sitting on the throne of the Emperor of the [Tiandou Empire].
