——

Jining opened his eyes and saw himself being held by a giant in white fur. Jining immediately realized that as an infant, the man holding him would appear as a giant.

"Go out first," the man ordered.

"Yes," the three maidservants respectfully replied.

The man holding him should be his father in this life. Even after just having a son, he still seemed like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, hard to approach. He wore splendid white fur, while the three maidservants wore inferior animal skins.

The room was quite spacious, with walls, dressing tables, chairs, and beds all carved from rock. The carvings were exquisite and elegant, exuding an ancient and simple beauty. The bed was covered with a huge animal skin, about six to seven meters long, which had already fallen to the ground. The skin on the bed looked very luxurious. On the bed, there was a young woman with a face full of sweat.

"Even the dressing table, chairs, and bed are carved from rock, and the house is also carved from rock. The father and the three maidservants are wearing animal skins, so it seems the civilization level of this world is not high," Jining thought to himself.

"Son," the man in white fur held the infant, still icy and without a smile, but his eyes betrayed his excitement.

Jining suddenly felt a mysterious, cool energy flow into his body, making him very comfortable, and it soon dissipated.

"Yichuan, how is our son?" the young woman on the bed asked.

"Unsurprisingly, his physical condition is average," Yichuan said softly.

The young woman's eyes were filled with tears: "Let me hold him."

The man handed the infant to her.

"Good boy," the young woman looked at the infant with love, "Yichuan, our son was injured in the womb. Even though I ate treasures from the heavens and earth, it only made up for a little. We have wronged our child."

Injured in the womb?

Treasures from the heavens and earth?

It seems that his parents in this life are not ordinary people.

******

After giving birth, the mother got out of bed and walked easily, also wearing white fur, and walked out of the house with Jining and his father.

"Go clean up," Father Jichuan ordered the three maidservants outside the door.

"Yes," the three maidservants respectfully replied.

Outside the door, a snow-white dog with long, soft fur stood, looking very gentle. Its eyes were filled with excitement and love as they fell on Jining.

In the wide courtyard outside, a black, coiled snake lay, its body winding around the edge of the courtyard, coiling in circles. It raised its head high, and the raised part of its body was dozens of meters tall, with black, glossy scales that made one shiver. Each scale was as large as a person, and the huge snake head in the air was like a house. The huge snake head slowly lowered and approached.

"Heavens!" Jining was greatly surprised. The snow-white dog was fine; he had seen many dogs in his previous life, and this one was just a bit larger.

But that huge, coiled monster with a raised head, was it a snake?

Coiled in circles, just the part of the raised body was dozens of meters long, and the total length was probably two to three hundred meters. Such a terrifying and fearsome monster appeared right at the entrance of his home? This, this is too...

"Son," Jichuan paid no attention to his son's feelings, or perhaps people living in this world were already used to everything and found nothing strange. Jichuan pointed to the snow-white dog, "This is Uncle Bai, your father's life-and-death brother, who has also saved your life. You should treat him as you would treat me."

The snow-white dog looked at Jining affectionately, and Jining even felt the dog's deep love for him.

But...

Call a dog Uncle Bai?

"Yichuan, the child just came into the world and doesn't understand anything. Is this useful?" the young woman said, holding the child.

"Whether he understands or not, this is the first time he meets Uncle Bai," Jichuan looked up at the huge snake head, which was as large as a house, "Black Brother!"

Whoosh~~ The black giant snake, which would drive countless countries on Earth mad, suddenly turned into black mist and then condensed into a black-haired middle-aged man. The black-haired man smiled at the infant, "Yichuan, I remember when you first showed your prowess, and I promised to follow you. I didn't expect that you would have a son so soon. Child, don't be afraid, I am your Uncle Black."

"Let's go outside," Jichuan said, "Grandfather and the others are waiting outside. Black Brother, you should revert to your original form. I know you are uncomfortable in human form."

"Hisss~~" The black-haired man nodded, and whoosh, he turned into black mist, which instantly became the huge black snake again. The snake's head stretched out, and its huge body moved swiftly, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, easily crossing the courtyard wall and disappearing.

Jining was still somewhat dazed at this point.

What was normal for the people of this world was extremely shocking to Jining, who had lived on Earth in his previous life. A two to three hundred-meter-long black snake turning into a black-haired middle-aged man and calling himself Uncle Black?

Monsters!

"Is this snow-white dog also a monster?" Jining felt that this world was even more incredible than he had imagined.

The couple carried the child along the corridor, with the snow-white dog following. At the end of the corridor, they entered a garden, where the plants were covered with thick snow. Several black-armored guards stood motionless in various places, and in the center, there were dozens of people, each accompanied by some strange beasts, venomous insects, or flying birds.

Jining immediately understood that it wasn't just his father who was special; it seemed that the people of this world had the habit of raising and taming monster beasts.

"Looks like I'll have to deal with monsters frequently in the future," Jining quickly adapted and began to carefully observe the dozens of people. These dozens of people all had extraordinary auras, each like a fierce tiger or leopard, almost all wearing finely tailored luxurious animal skins, with only three women wearing silk or cloth clothes.

This made Jining secretly surprised.

It seemed that not everyone wore animal skins; silk or cloth already existed in this world. From the positions of the three women, they seemed quite ordinary among the dozens of people, indicating that silk or cloth clothes were not more luxurious than finely tailored luxurious furs.

The silver-haired old man at the front walked over, "Come, Yichuan, let me hold the child."

"Grandfather," Jichuan nodded and took the child from his wife, handing him to the old man.

"What a beautiful child," the silver-haired old man's face was full of joy, praising, "Yichuan, now that you have a son, I can rest easy. I have been the Lord of the Manor for eighty years. According to the clan rules, the term of the Lord of the Manor cannot exceed a hundred years. I can serve for at most twenty more years. When I initially wanted you to inherit the position of Lord of the Manor of the Western Manor of the Ji Clan, you were determined to walk the path of immortality. Now that your son is born, I think he should be the next Lord of the Manor."

Next Lord of the Manor?

Jining was amazed. It seemed that his status was not low, and his family was also quite extraordinary. Whether it was the extremely obedient maidservants in animal skins or the motionless black-armored guards, they all demonstrated the power of his family.

"Big Brother!" a loud shout rang out.

Who dared to be disrespectful to the Lord of the Manor?

Jining looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with fiery red hair, emitting a scorching aura, striding forward. A bright red earring hung from his right ear, but it wasn't a red earring; it was a bright red, finger-long snake. A red snake hanging from his ear?

The old man with the red snake on his ear strode forward and growled, "How can the position of Lord of the Manor be passed on so casually, and we don't even know the child's potential yet."

"Yichuan's son, his potential is naturally..." the silver-haired old man was extremely confident, and a scorching heat flowed into Jining's body, quickly dissipating.

"Yichuan!" The silver-haired old man looked at his most proud and proudest grandson in shock.

How could he not be shocked?

This was the son of 'Dripping Water Sword' Jichuan, the mighty Dripping Water Sword, who had slain countless great monsters in the deep mountains and lakes. In the countless tribes under the Western Manor of the Ji Clan, more people knew of the Dripping Water Sword than knew of him as the Lord of the Manor.

As long as the child consumed more spiritual materials and treasures in the womb, the infant's physical condition could naturally be cultivated to be excellent.

"Big Brother," the old man with the venomous snake laughed, "It seems that Yichuan's child has average potential. The Western Manor of the Ji Clan leads many tribes. How can a weakling be the Lord of the Manor? How can the people of the Ji Clan be convinced? How can the many tribes submit?"

"Lord of the Manor, this child seems unsuitable to be the next Lord of the Manor."

"The position of Lord of the Manor cannot be passed on so casually."

The dozens of people, all high-ranking officials of the Western Manor of the Ji Clan, spoke up.

"Shut up," Jichuan's eyebrows furrowed, and his cold gaze swept over, making many clan members fall silent.

But the old man with the venomous snake was angry, "What a big temper, this is the Western Manor of the Ji Clan! Can't even speak? Your son wants to be the Lord of the Manor... If your son has good potential and you, Jichuan, have made great contributions to the Western Manor of the Ji Clan, we would have no objections. But your son has average potential and still wants to be the Lord of the Manor? The Western Manor of the Ji Clan leads many tribes, and we need to fight with surrounding forces and great monsters in the deep mountains and lakes. How can a weak Lord of the Manor convince the people? How can the many tribes submit? If the Western Manor loses its prestige, how can we fight with surrounding forces and great monsters in the deep mountains and lakes?"

"The great monsters in the deep mountains and lakes, I will slay them!" Jichuan's voice was cold.

"Very impressive, worthy of Jichuan. There are many great monsters lurking in the deep mountains and lakes. Go and slay them. I, Jili, say that if you can kill a hundred great monsters, we will not contest the position of Lord of the Manor of the Western Manor of the Ji Clan, and your son can directly inherit the position," the old man with the venomous snake sneered.

Jichuan stared at him.

Each great monster was so cunning and powerful, how easy was it to kill them? Not to mention killing a hundred great monsters, even killing ten great monsters... would be a miracle.

"Enough, the child has just been born and cannot withstand the commotion," the silver-haired old man swept his gaze over and ordered, "Tonight, we will hold a banquet in the Snowfall Hall to celebrate. Now, all of you, leave."

"Yes."

The old man with the venomous snake was the first to respond loudly, immediately leading more than half of the people away. The others soon followed, leaving the garden.
