Chapter 2

As the rain poured down like a waterfall, lightning tore the sky into one white slit after another.

Dark clouds rolled, and the wind howled, creating a scene that seemed to foretell the end of the world.

At Zichen Hospital, Lu Xingkong, the head of the Lu family, stood by the window of the luxurious lounge, his expression grave as he watched the strange weather outside. "Great people are often born amidst storms. I wonder how Xiao Yu is doing?"

"Father, everything will be fine," Lu Qingming comforted him. "Zichen Hospital is the best in Tiandu, and Qin Xiaoluo is the best obstetrician in the empire."

Lu Xingkong pointed to the two intertwined black and white light balls in the sky and said with a smile, "Two dragons playing with a pearl, a rare and extraordinary birth. This boy has caused such a commotion at birth; what will he be like in the future? My grandson will surely achieve great things."

"Let's hope he's not a lazy good-for-nothing," Lu Qingming teased.

"He dare not," Lu Xingkong's eyes were fierce, emitting a chilling light. "The Lu family does not tolerate waste."

Boom------

Another bolt of lightning with a long tail flashed overhead, making people's eardrums ache and their bodies tremble.

If it weren't for the family's secret techniques protecting Lu Xingkong and Lu Qingming, they might have been knocked to the ground by the sudden thunder.

In the forest, all the beasts were silent, and in the abyss, all the demons bowed.

Suddenly, a few stars appeared in the sky amidst the torrential rain, and the Milky Way, like a silver chain, stretched across the sky from the depths of time.

This was a disruption of space and time, a defiance of nature.

The black and white light balls swirling in the sky rapidly descended and exploded on the roof of the hospital building, casting a golden glow that illuminated the earth before disappearing instantly.

"Wah------"

A piercing cry echoed from the delivery room, followed by the excited shouts of the obstetrician, Qin Xiaoluo: "It's born, it's born---- ah------"

Lu Xingkong's face lit up with joy, but before his smile could fully bloom, he heard the sharp cry: "What's going on?"

"I'll go check," Lu Qingming said, running towards the delivery room area.

---------

"How is the situation?" Lu Xingkong asked in a deep voice.

"The skin is as black as charcoal, the eyes are blind and can't open, blood is flowing from the seven orifices, and the heartbeat is extremely weak. I fear----" Lu Qingming's eyes were moist, and he struggled to speak.

Slap!

Lu Xingkong slapped the coffee table in front of him, and the thousand-year-old purple sandalwood table, crafted by a master, instantly turned to ashes.

"Rogue heavens are bullying the Lu family."

"Father----"

Lu Xingkong closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice, "I heard that a maid gave birth to a daughter today?"

"Yes, that was Xiao Yu's maid----" Lu Qingming's eyes widened in shock, and he said, "Father, you----"

"Switch them."

"Father, that is our Lu family's flesh and blood, your own grandson----"

"I said, the Lu family does not tolerate waste," Lu Xingkong said sternly. "Do you want the outside world to know that the Lu family has a deformed child? Do you want them to know that my grandson, your son---- was struck by lightning?"

"But Xiao Yu----"

"She is tired and should rest well," Lu Xingkong's voice was much lower. "Go and stay with her."

Lu Qingming lowered his head and walked out, his once tall and strong figure bent by the harsh reality.

"Her name is Lu Qiji," Lu Xingkong said.

"What?"

"The girl is named Lu Qiji. It's the name I prepared for her," Lu Xingkong said. "Tomorrow morning, let her go out to receive praise and glory."

"Yes, Father," Lu Qingming said in a hoarse voice.

He knew that once his father made a decision, it was already a fait accompli.

His son----

No, he never had a son.

His daughter is named Lu Qiji.
