Chapter 14: The Helpless Agreement

“This~” Old Xie was helpless upon hearing this; after all, he had received his upbringing kindness, right? Don’t look at Old Xie as a Demon Lord; in fact, his heart was also very soft, he just acted tough.

Seeing there was a chance, the Old Mage hurriedly continued: “I’m so old; my only wish in this life is to continue the family bloodline. If I can’t do this, I definitely won’t die in peace! Woo woo~” Saying that, he actually started crying.

“Don’t cry!” Watching the old man who raised him for more than ten years so sad, Old Xie also felt a bit awkward. He wanted to persuade him but didn’t know what to say. For a moment, he could only sit there awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable all over.

“Little guy, this matter can be said to be entirely due to my mistake; because of this old fellow’s mistake, it led to Little Stephen’s death!” The Old Mage said sorrowfully, “If the family bloodline is cut off because of this matter, then after I die, I will have no face to see the family ancestors! Can you really bear to make me a sinner of the family, suffering in the pain of a sinner forever?” The Old Mage became more and more excited as he spoke, to the point of sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Old Xie’s heart gradually softened, but it was not good to refuse directly, so he had to find an excuse: “It’s not that I don’t want to help, I really don’t have the ability? Think about it, I look nothing like your Little Stephen, how can I impersonate him?”

“That’s no problem!” The Old Mage immediately said excitedly hearing Old Xie’s tone loosen: “I have a Sub-Divine Artifact mask called ‘False Truth’; as long as you wear it, you can become anyone’s appearance!”

“This~” Old Xie was depressed upon hearing this, thinking, has this guy planned this long ago? Then he immediately shouted again: “What’s the use of looking alike? The key is the body; look at me, this height, this body type, do I look like a Mage?”

“Hehe!” The Old Mage suddenly laughed craftily: “Actually, what I value most is precisely your body. You know, my great-grandson’s mother is a Barbarian; his body inherited his mother’s genetics. At fifteen years old, he was already strong as an ox. So you two have a very similar body type; the Magic Robe on you is his, it fits quite well, right? Hehe, you two are also considered outliers among Mages! So, what else do you have to say?”

“This~” Old Xie was immediately depressed and could only smile bitterly: “But what about temper and character? I don’t think I can act, or play dumb!”

“That’s no problem!” The Old Mage immediately said: “You don’t need to pretend at all; just use your own temper. I’ll just tell the outside that your personality changed drastically after you went Berserk. Anyway, others won’t dare to say anything; even if you cause trouble, it doesn’t matter, I’ll cover for you!” When the Old Mage said this, a trace of Killing Intent flashed in his eyes; obviously, he wanted to use Old Xie’s hand to severely teach those who had bullied his grandson.

Old Xie was quite satisfied with this condition, fearing the world would not be in chaos, but then he was a bit worried: “But what if I expose a flaw? After all, I don’t have any memory of your great-grandson; I don’t know his acquaintances or friends at all!”

“That doesn’t matter, I’ll just say you lost your memory. Anyway, as long as I and this fat man insist on your identity, whatever others say can be taken as fart!” The Old Mage said proudly.

“Sigh!” Old Xie had no choice this time, so he nodded depressingly and said helplessly: “Alright then, consider me unlucky! Who told me I owe you.”

“Hehe, I knew you would help!” The Old Mage immediately said gratefully.

“But you can’t ask me to impersonate someone else for the rest of my life, right?” Old Xie said with some difficulty: “I’m not used to living in someone else’s shadow forever!”

“In that case!” The Old Mage thought for a while and said: “How about this, as long as you can leave an heir with Lightning Element talent for our family, then I can let you go!”

“Ah?” Old Xie was dumbfounded upon hearing this and said depressingly: “Sleeping with women is no problem for me, but getting them pregnant, I’m not confident!”

In fact, saying he wasn’t confident was just Old Xie being embarrassed. The real situation was that he had no clue at all. Because he had no offspring in his previous life. Logically speaking, he had ten thousand women if not eight thousand, each as beautiful as a flower, and Old Xie himself was very strong; seven times a night was an understatement. But even so, not a single one gave him a child. For this, Old Xie was also anxious and even offered a heavy reward, announcing that whoever gave him offspring could have whatever they wanted. But the result? Except for a few bold women who helped him wear n green hats, he got nothing. From then on, Old Xie understood that it was likely his self-created cultivation method that made him infertile, so he gave up. Unexpectedly, it was brought up again by the Old Mage today, and he was very depressed.

Hearing this, the Old Mage was also a bit dumbfounded, thinking, I don’t seem to have taught him about women yet, right? How does he know? Self-taught? But having seen Old Xie’s miraculous side, the Old Mage was too lazy to bother, and directly said: “You are still young, don’t worry about this, I have confidence in you!”

“Okay, okay!” What else could Old Xie say? He couldn’t admit he was impotent, right? But then he added: “You tell this fat man to work hard too; if he can produce a qualified one, let me go quickly too!”

Although Old Xie’s words were disrespectful, the fat man was unusually moved hearing them. He couldn’t help asking: “Why would you do this? Is the title of a Duke and wealth that rivals a country not enough to tempt you?”

“Scorn, your little broken things are not in my eyes!” Old Xie said disdainfully: “Alright, if you agree to this opinion, then it’s settled, otherwise forget it!”

Seeing that Old Xie was not faking it, the Old Mage couldn’t help nodding in admiration, and then said: “Okay, whoever of you produces a qualified heir, I will allow you to leave and pass this huge family property to that child.”

Hearing this news, Kadi Stephen was extremely excited. He originally thought his descendants had no chance to inherit the family, but unexpectedly, the situation turned around; Old Xie didn’t care at all and gave him such a chance. This made him can’t help but feel grateful to Old Xie, and no longer cared about Old Xie’s rudeness to him. In fact, Old Xie was an elder originally; calling him a fat man, he felt it was right, although Old Xie was a bit younger.

Seeing the matter settled, the Old Mage then stood up and said: “Then it’s settled. Kadi, you go back and announce now that Little Stephen was saved by me, but his injuries are serious and he needs a period of rest before going back!”

“Yes!” Kadi Stephen hurriedly agreed, then quickly asked, “What about the mastermind of this matter?”

“Hmph!” The Old Mage snorted coldly and said: “Don’t touch that woman for now; after all, we don’t have evidence, and ‘Little Stephen’ is alive again, so it’s not good to directly fall out with the Royal family over a little injury, that would arouse suspicion. You just endure it for now and vent your anger casually! I will avenge Little Stephen in the future!”

“Yes!” Kadi Stephen nodded, then couldn’t help shedding tears again.

“Sigh, restrain your grief, remember, the family still needs your support!” The Old Mage said with heartache seeing this.

“Yes, I know!” Kadi Stephen wiped his tears, then bowed deeply to the Old Mage and Old Xie, and immediately left.
