Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1031 - 1031 Prince Hong Dali



1031 Prince Hong Dali

When the guard left, the Old Madam looked at the women who were standing respectfully among Hong Dali’s party and sized them up. Then, she said slowly, “Sweetheart, these are your women?” She fiddled with the stones in her hand, her tone amused.

“Ah, this… that…” Hong Dali did not know what her intention was for asking that. But, he knew he had to quickly protect them in case they suffered from his great-grandmother’s rage. “That, yes. Something like that…”

The situation was similar to a grandmother-in-law scrutinizing her granddaughters-in-law, a couple of generations removed. Tang Muxin and the others were rather nervous.

Unexpectedly, the Old Madam found Hong Dali pleasing to the eye, and so doted on him without any logic. “En, the High Nobles did not scare all of you off before we arrived. All of you actually chose to stick with my sweetheart. This is hard to come by. Good, good!”

Then, she waved her hand. “Sweetheart, accept all these ladies. We are the Shenglong Royal Family, after all. Which prince doesn’t have dozens of wives? The standard of these ladies seems very high. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find you dozens of wives of such high caliber within a short period of time. Just make do first. We’re not in a hurry, anyway!”

How awesome was this! This elderly lady simply waved her hand and set the rhythm to Hong Dali’s harem!

Of course, Hong Dali was a 21st-century gentleman. Wives… just a few of them were enough!

“Aiya, great-grandmother.” Hong Dali ruffled his hair in embarrassment. “You don’t have to worry about my marriage. Haha, haha…” To be honest, he was really afraid that she might get him dozens of wives. To bed one every day, it would take a few months to bed them all…

“Little rascal,” The Old Madam’s expression was full of compassion. “How can we not carry on the family name with plenty of children?” Speaking up to this point, she had tears in her eyes again. “Aye, it was my fault then. If I was not so impatient with Jun’er, he would not leave home secretly. Who would have thought it would be goodbye forever…”

Everyone was deeply affected.

Just think, how would any mother feel if their son left home due to disagreements and never got to meet them again?

Especially as part of the Shenglong Royal Family, with a life-span of a few hundred years. How was one to bear with the pain over such a long period of time?

“Great-grandmother, you did not have any more children after that?” Hong Dali was curious. His great-grandfather and great-grandmother should have been a few hundred years old. When grandfather Hong Jun left home, they did not think of having more children? He asked curiously, “Do I have any siblings?”

Seeing everyone’s expression, Old Master Hong said slowly, “Let me say it.”

He introduced himself. “Let me introduce myself first. I’m Hong Xingyu, the head of the current household of Hong Family, Shenglong Royal Family.” He pointed to the Old Madam. “This is my lawful wife, Hua Yueling.” The Old Madam greeted everyone.

Hong Xingyu, Hua Yueling.

They were good names. Just that matched with their current age, it was a little amusing…

Of course, no one dared to laugh.

Since they had finished introducing themselves, Shenglong Royal Hong Family, Hong Xingyu began his story. “That was 150 years ago. I had a child with Yueling and we were overjoyed. The entire Shenglong Astral, everyone from the royal family came to congratulate us. We were very happy, indeed. When the child was born, it was a cute little boy.

“We named this boy Hong Jun. There wasn’t any special meaning, we just liked this name.

“Jun’er was intelligent, cute, and chubby. When he was Dali’s age, they looked exactly the same…”

Everyone finally understood why Hong Xingyu and his wife liked Hong Dali so much—looking at this brat carefully, he indeed looked like the documented Hong Jun—a full forehead, wide cheekbones, very well-liked.

“Aiya, don’t look at me like that. It’s embarrassing…” Hong Dali grinned, looking all shy when it was clear everyone’s attention was on him.

Of course, this time, his siblings from the same family no longer felt envious or jealous—the violent Old Madam Hua Yueling was sitting right there. Anyone who dared to reveal any bit of unhappiness toward Hong Dali would probably be beaten to death.

Hong Xingyu looked at Hong Dali endearingly and continued, “It’s a pity. Later, Jun’er fell sick when he was using the Hong Family’s exclusive lineage ability, Phase Transmission…”

Phase Transmission! When everyone heard that, they understood immediately.

When the Zergs first went to Earth, Hong Dali had used this lineage ability to save Bai Hechou! They did not think much of it at first. Today, when Hong Xingyu had killed the man-made God Reni in seconds, they finally realized how impressive this ability was!

One could do as they pleased, completely invincible!

“So that’s called Phase Transmission…” Hong Dali muttered. “I was quite shocked when I was first able to use this ability. So, it’s exclusive to the Hong Family…”

Hong Weiguo and the others were frenzied. They were part of the Hong Family as well, Hong Jun’s descendants. They wondered if they possessed the same ability.

“Hehe, not everyone can use Phase Transmission.” Hong Xingyu shook his head. “Simply put, this inherited lineage ability of our Hong Family skips a generation and is completely random. If you have it, you have it. It’s not possible to master it no matter how hard one trains.”

Well, as he said that, the others wanted to puke blood.

Hong Dali really had all the benefits and good stuff. However, thinking from another point of view, Hong Dali was famously protective. As long as he got the ability, everyone that followed him would benefit from it. They might not be treated the same way as Hong Dali, but they would definitely gain respect in the universe.

Thinking in that direction, everyone calmed down—it was quite good to be a respected rich man with nothing to worry about.

“Our little rascal,” Lan Ruoxi’s tears welled up. “I did not dote on him for nothing. He is really born blessed.”

Hong Weiguo held her hand. “You gave me a good son.”

“Haha, you must be Dali’s parents, right?” Just from the way they looked at Hong Dali, Hong Xingyu could tell their identities. He nodded, satisfied. “You have given our Hong Family a god-favored child. You have contributed significantly to our Hong Family.”

Hong Weiguo hurriedly bowed. “No, no.”

The Old Madam was attentive and comforted the others. “Of course, since everyone belongs to our Hong family, everyone will have to respect you in Shenglong Astral. Such things are fated, there is no need to feel anxious. In other words, other than taking our little darling, Dali along, I will make arrangements for everyone to have their own territory. I will definitely not treat you differently.”

Hence, she settled everyone down. Everyone were descendants of the Royal Family, after all. She would not treat them badly.

Old Elder Hong Tu nodded in agreement. “Thank you, then.” En, he was an elderly as well. Although Hong Xingyu was also his great-grandfather, it was hard for him to greet him so.

“Alright, let me continue.” Hong Xingyu paused for a while. This time, his tone was a little depressed. “It was the illness that separated us and Jun’er forever…”

Old Madam fiddled with the stones in her hands and lowered her head without saying a word.

Clearly, everything related to Hong Jun was a wound in her heart.

“After Jun’er used the lineage ability, he suddenly changed.” Old Master Hong’s tone was serious. “His body obviously got weaker. In the beginning, it was only a decline in strength. Then, slowly, all the resources we spent on him during his childhood reversed. Can you imagine? He was vomiting blood every day. His strength dropped from Star Sector-level to that of an ordinary person in just two years.”

Hearing that, everyone was completely shocked.

Star Sector-level! Indeed, above Stellar-level, there was still Star Sector-level!

At this time, everyone finally understood how desperate the old couple felt. A Star Sector warrior’s strength degenerated in two years to become that of an ordinary person…

“We searched for anyone, the best doctors, genetic experts,” Hong Xingyu said in a low voice. “It wasn’t an overstatement to say that even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, my Jun’er would not have gone to that stage. The genetic expert said that as long as he had the genes, they could create the most perfect body. Man-made God? Haha, that’s leftover from what the genetic experts had created. In the beginning, he mentioned that the only way for Jun’er to regain his strength was for him to transform into a Man-made God. It’s a pity, a Man-made God has no emotions, no humanity. Humanity! Without humanity, how can one be called a human?”

“Indeed, Jun’er rejected the idea.” Hong Xingyu teared. With his strength, how was it possible for him to behave this way if his heart was not pained? He continued, “Jun’er’s illness was something called Reverse Evolution Genetic Sequence Deficiency Restoration Syndrome. This illness is not life-threatening. But the most important thing is, anyone with this illness, no matter how much they cultivate using all kinds of medicinal herbs, it will all be ineffective. Once the illness flares up, the person’s achievements will be reinstated within two years.

“Jun’er was known as the number one genius of the royal family when he was young. How many people were jealous of him when he made it to Star Sector-level at sixteen?” Hong Xingyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. “It’s a pity. Because of the number one genius title, countless people looked down on him when he became ill. Humph. Those people did not dare to say anything in front of him. But secretly, they all pointed fingers at him gloating over his misfortune. A genius became useless. How could Jun’er stand the difference in treatment?”

Speaking up to this point, Hong Xingyu smacked his thigh in anger. “I had said that I would kill anyone that dared to gossip! Kill all of them! Alas, my Jun’er was too generous. He said those were his distant siblings and did not bear for anything to happen to them. Pui. Shitty siblings. They were all bastards gloating over his misfortune!”
