{Hello everyone, here is the brain bank. Please keep your brain here. Thank You}
On a quiet night, with the stars filled with stars which glowed with their full brightness, the entire empire was enjoying the peace.
Except, the duke's mansion.
"Hurry, bring hot water, fast."
"Madam, push harder, I can see the head."
The woman hanging in the bed by a silk fabric attached to the beam connected to the roof, giving birth, was sweating profusely. A silk fabric was placed in her mouth, which she was biting harder with every push she made.
Soon, as the servants brought the hot water and the clean clothes, the midwife took the cloth dipped in the hot water and brought it closer towards her.
As she cleaned the lady, the cloth soon was filled with blood. Soon, an hour later, the child came out. The lady, seeing the child she had given birth to, smiled and then fainted.
The servants catered to the lady, and the midwife took care of the child. cutting the umbilical cord after some time, and gave it a gentle bath.
Mo Yu's POV
Rain is falling heavily. The surrounding atmosphere is foggy, and the visibility is poor.
Mo Yu was coming home from his work. As soon as he left the office, the rain started to fall heavily. he was wearing a simple white t-shirt and black pants. As he was walking along the way, holding an umbrella.
"What is it raining so heavily in the middle of winter so suddenly?"
As he was walking, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird. The sound of the people suddenly stopped, and only the sound of the rain was heard.
The atmosphere suddenly became foggy. Seeing the weird situation, he stopped walking and looked around.
Suddenly continuous flash of lightning was occurring.
Grumbling sounds of the thunder were heard, occurring one after another.
After some time, a peculiar light came his way.
As he raised his head, a peculiar lotus was seen.
As he looked at the lotus, the lotus suddenly bloomed, and a huge bolt of thunder fell onto both him and the lotus, sattering the lotus.
As the petals of the broken lotus fell into his body, he lost his consciousness.
After some time, he slowly woke up. His eyes were tightly shut. a liquid around his body in a cramped space.
Suddenly, with a force, he was pushed out.
As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a new world. The surrounding people were wearing ancient people's clothes.
When he suddenly felt a sudden pain when the midwife spanked him on his butt.
"wah wah"
Mo Yu started crying involuntarily as he felt pain. Seeing that Mo Yu was crying, like a normal child, the midwife felt relieved and wrapped him in a clean silk cloth after washing him.
as the midwife was taking Mo Yu somewhere, he was looking around with his tiny head.
"Where is it. Why am I here?"
"Did I transmigrate like in those novels?"
"Looking at the surroundings, it should be in ancient times. And the house is quite luxurious, so it should be a rich household."
"Fortunately, it is a rich household, then it would not be as hard to live.
"Since I was an orphan, no one would probably hold a funeral for me, and the state would likely cremate my body."
"It isn't that I am regretting that I would not get a grand funeral, but that my hard-earned money would likely go to the state."
sigh
thinking that the money he earned would be used for someone else made him resentful.
"Whatever, if I can't spend my money in that world, then I will spend it here. Anyway, my parents will not be so stingy, right?"
As he was thinking in his tiny head, the midwife took him outside the room.
"Congratulations, my lord, it's a young master. Both the young master and the lady are safe."
She told the tall man wearing a grey robe, with a height of 7 feet tall. behind him was an equally beautiful woman who looked like she was in her 20s with three boys and some servants around him.
"It's good, it's good. Someone give the midwife three hundred gold tales and all the servants will get 2 silver tales," the man announced in a loud voice.
"Thank you, my lord, since the young master has been born safely, then I should leave," the midwife said happily, as she had never received such a generous amount.
"Guard, drop the midwife at her house in the carriage."
As the guard came, the midwife left with him.
"Congratulations, husband, for gaining a son," the beautiful woman said, looking at the child in his arms with a gentle smile.
"Dad, is this our brother?"
"Dad, lower him so we can also see him."
The boys asked the man. hearing his sons asking to see their younger brother. the man lowered his arms, showing them to them.
"Why is he so wrinkly. I don't like him."
said one boy, looking at the child.
"You brat, you were also like this when you were born," he said, flicking his finger at his forehead.
'You are ugly, your whole family is ugly. What do you mean by that? Mo Yu thought in his head, looking at the boy with anger.
"Husband, so what shall be his name?" the woman asked the man.
After thinking for a while.
"Since he was born in the night when the stars were at their brightest, with the cloud illuminating the night with stars, so his name will be Li Xingyun.
I hope that he will shine bright like the stars in the night in the future."
He said, looking at the seeping infant in his arms.
Yes, he was sleeping as he was an infant. after handing Li Xingyun to the maid, he went inside to look at his wife in the room.
5 years later,
In the courtyard of the Duke of the South's mansion, the servants were busy transporting the goods.
The Emperor had decreed that all of his 3rd rank and above return to the capital. Hence, the entire family was preparing to return to the capital.
The Duke household had lived in JiāngZhōuo city of the southern region for three generations. with each of its general fighting to their last breath. Causing none of them to die of natural causes.
In the chaotic atmosphere of the manor, there was one relatively calm person.
Li Xingyun was sitting, looking at the lotus pond, drinking some tea, and eating cakes. It had been 5 years since he was reborn in this world.
At first, he could not believe that he had been reborn. but soon he accepted this reality.
The man who had stood outside his birth room was his father, Li Jianfeng. He was the Duke of the South, governing the vast 500,000 soldiers. he had two wives, Su Meilin and FengYuyan. Su Meilin and Feng Yuyan were both best friends who fell in love with the same man.
Li JianFeng, knowing that both women loved him, could not have in his heart to break anyone's heart, and hence he proposed to marry both of them with equal status.
And surprisingly, both ladies agreed. Hence, all three families got together and were married on the same day.
Li Jianfeng had his first Li Zicheng and him from Su Meiling, whereas the 2nd Li Shenxiang and 3rd son Li Zhiyuan were from Feng Yuyan. Since his rebirth, one girl was born by Feng Yuyan, who was named Li Yurou.
They had lived peacefully after the current emperor Jing Shenglong. The raging war had finally ended after the current emperor defeated the surrounding empires, reigning as the supreme. The previous dynasty was rotten from the core, causing all commoners to live a life worse than a slave.
Hence, the current emperor overthrew the previous empire, executing the corrupt officials, renewing the court with new blood that he successfully establishing the current Great Jing Empire.
Today in the morning, the official eunuch of the imperial palace had arrived in the city carrying an imperial edict with him. The emperor had decreed that the duke of the south go to the capital with their family. whose reason was not disclosed.
The current emperor himself was a nascent soul cultivator reigning over the whole empire, backed by 2 god transformation stage ancestors, and that was the only known number. Behind the scenes, who knows how many are working in secret?
Even his father was an early-stage nascent soul cultivator, with his two mothers being early and mid-stage golden core cultivators with a 2 spirit root each.
As he was enjoying his tea when a small girl came wearing a small hanfu, carrying two sticks of Hawthorn candy in her hands.
"Yun Ge Ge, why is everyone busy. I am so bored; no one is playing with me."
The little girl pouted her face, acting cute and also pitiful. she stepped towards Li Xingyun.
"Oh, really, but are those candies in your hands. I thought that mother had forbidden you from eating candy."
Li Xingyun looked at Li Yirou, messing with her, with a mischievous smile.
"Is it. I think that you are confused, big brother. I don't have candy with me."
She said in a semi-loud voice, with tears seemingly about to fall from her eyes.
"Oh, really, then what is there behind your back?"
Li Xingyoun pointed his fingers towards her back, walking towards her, with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Stop it, litter four, you are going to make our little sister cry."
A voice came from behind the doors.
as the door opened, a teenage boy about 1.7 meters tall teen age boy appeared. he had a gentle smile on his face, wearing a red hanfu. with striking red cherry blossom with a cloud-like pattern.
"Eldest brother, I was just messing with her. Anyway, why are you here?"
"It seems that you have forgotten what day today is. Get ready fast and come to the main hall, Father is waiting for you there."
Li Zicheng told him as he was wiping the snot from Li Yurou.
"Ok, I will get ready soon," he said with a faint smile on his face.
