The next day, the patriarch or also known as Xiao Hei called all the clan members, elders and the old patriarch to the clan's training ground where the Xiao clan's member training their Dan Refininig Technique.

All the clan's members and the elders were excited when they known that their clan's patriarch is telling them to gather at the training ground because they already know the reason why their patriarch called them and that make them too excited and can not wait.

"Do you think Patriarch's kid is a girl or boy?"One of the clan members asked his friend.

His friend was in deep thought for a while before he answer his friend question.

"I think its a girl"

"Why you think it is a girl?"Another clan's member asked.

"Because I heard from my mother that Matriarch is always rubbing her stomach when she was pregnant and that the reason why my mother think that the patriarch's and matriarch's kid is a girl!"He answer once again while nodding his head.

"What the heck?!"One of the clan member scream before he continue talking

"From whom did your mother learn that?!"

"I don't know but that is what my mother said!"

"Nahhhh...the kid of patriarch and matriarch will be a boy!"The other said

"Why did you think so?"The other clan members asked.

"My hunch!"

With that the juniors of the Xiao clan members continue make a hunch about the gender of the kid of Patriarch and Matriarch and while the juniors clan member continue talking about that,the elders of the clan member also was talking about this and with some talking about the kid's talent.

The talking continue for fifteen minutes before it's stop because they all can see the Patriarch and the old Patriarch together with five other peoples arrived at the training ground.

The apperance of these five figures are showing that they are around fourty to fifty years but their true age are a lot more older than that.

These five figures are the high elders of the Xiao Clan who helped the Patriarch protect the Xiao Clan and also the ones who helped the Patriarch make a big decision.

The powers of these five high elders are only below the patriarch with three of the high elders are men while the last two are female.

But two of the men and one of the female are a well know Alchemist while the other two men and the last female are a powerful martial artist.

"Everyone the reason why I called you all here is because I want to share a very great news to you all! Last night my wife, the Matriarch have given birth to another member to our Xiao Clan!"Xiao Hei said in happy tone while smiling happily.

The clan members, the elders, high elders and the old patriarch were smiling and clapping their hand when they heard what the Patriarch said with some of them start cheering and yelled out a congratulations to the patriarch and the matriarch.

While the training ground was loud with cheers and clapping sound, a loud voice suddenly can be heard.

"Patriarch! What is the gender!?"

The one who screaming is none one other than the guy who said that the kid of the patriarch and matriarch will be a girl and the patriarch was smiling when he heard that before he answer the question.

"My kid is a.....boy!"The patriarch screaming

and once again the training ground got loud by the cheering sound and the clapping sound.

"We got a young master!"

"We got a young master!"

"Now,now. Please calm down!"Xiao Hei said in deep voice and the training turn silent in just a blink of eye.

"Now let me present to you all my son!"The patriarch said in loud tone and just after he said that,two lady with one of them holding a bundle of white clothes that make from spider's silk appear from the medic pavilion that located near the training ground.

Those two women are none other than the current Matriarch of the Xiao clan and the old Matriarch of the Xiao Clan. Meanwhile the one who wrapped in white cloth that was made from spider's silk is none other than the baby who just born yesterday.

This white cloth had hid the entire body of the baby except for his mouth and nose.

After that the matriarch or also known as Xiao Yu and the old matriarch who is known as Xiao Yun walked toward where Xiao Hei, the old Patriarch and the high elders standing and when both of them reach there, the clan members lengthen their neck to steal a look of the baby inside the bundle of white cloth but unfortunately, they can't see anything except the baby lips and nose but they can see that the baby's lips is very well shaped and it is ruby in colour meanwhile his nose is standing tall and pointed.

As soon as Xiao Yu and Xiao Yun arrived at where the Patriarch is, Xiao Yu then give the baby to her husband and when Xiao Hei hold the baby, he was smiling while his finger touch his baby nose.

Seeing this, the old patriarch and the high elders tried to steal a look but they can't see anything except for the baby's beautiful lips and nose and that make them sigh because they can't see the baby before the other clan's members can and even the old patriarch was sighing cause when he want to see his grandson last night, he got blocked by his wife and because of that he still did not know how his grandson look like.

"My boy is named as Xiao Long, Xiao asked flame and Long as dragon. His name will showed the others the might of the Xiao Clan while his fire will be just like name, it will burn bright like the dragon's flame."Xiao Hei said in low and deep tone while taking off the white cloth that blocked his son face from the people's view and this make the clan members,old patriarch and the high elders excited.

Not long after that a baby with cute face, ruby colour lips,tall and pointed nose with a shiny pitch black colour eyes that looks very beautiful like a starry night sky and a short black colour hair with burning red highlight appear to the peoples views.

Following right after that, a loud gasping sound can be heard inside the training ground once the clan members saw the baby's face and even the old patriarch and the high elders were left in shocked, well who will not when you saw the most perfect baby with very beautiful eyes colour.

"He have a very beautiful eyes."The old Patriarch or also known as Xiao Hai said in soft tone while he take his grandson into his hold from his son hold.

Even the high elders and the clan members were astounded when they saw their young master's beautiful eyes colour. Because even though Xiao Long's eyes colour

can be said as very normal, it's rare for someone to have a beautiful black eyes like Xiao Long's.

"Yes his eyes colour is really beautiful well..... looks at whose son he is."Xiao Hei said in soft tone while smiling proudly and when the Clan's members heard what he said, they all just laugh.

"But his eyes colour is not really a shocking things about him."Xiao Hei add in soft tone and when everyone heard what he said, they all looked at Xiao Hei in confusion.

"What do you mean, Xiao Hei?"Xiao Hai asked in confusion while looking at his son with sharp eyes and when Xiao Hei heard what his father said, he just smiling.

"Xiao Hei.... "Xiao Bai called out in warning tone.

"Alright, alright I will tell you all."Xiao Hei said in hurried making everyone laughing.

"Xiao Long actually was born with Fire Attribute Special Physique!"Xiao Hei said while smiling largely.

"What?!"Xiao Hai screaming in shock and that can be said the same with the clan members.

"Are you serious, Xiao Hei?!"Xiao Hai asked once again.

"Let me show you the prove but first give me my baby back!"Xiao Hei said before he took his son from his father hold.

After Xiao Hei take back his baby,he then pick up his son's right hand to the clan members views and once again the clan members was gasping in shocked and even the old patriarch and the high elders have thier eyes wide open in shocked.

The reason why they all are in shocked is because they can see a small golden sun tattoo on Xiao Long's palm and the golden sun tattoo also have a red colour shine inside it making its look like a fire burning inside the tattoo.

"It's real!"One of the high elders scream in shock.

"Our Xiao Clan have been blessed!"The other high elders said while smiling.

"Yes our Xiao Clan and my grandson have been blessed!"Xiao Hai said while smiling happily.

The training ground explode with cheers and claps once again and this time is because their Young Master is born with Special Physique and that also a fire attribute special physique, that means their Young Master will be genius in fire element and with the Xiao Clan was known for their innate fire element, it can he said that the Xiao Clan is truly have been blessed by the heaven.

"Because my son was born yesterday and our clan have been bless by heaven, I have decide to make a big celebration and this celebration will last for seven days!"Xiao Hei add and just after he said that, another loud cheering sound can be heard.

After that Xiao Hei that closed back his son's face with the white cloth like before,before he look at his father.

"Dad please follow me to my house"Xiao Hei said to Xiao Hai before he walked with his father to his room with Xiao Yu and Xiao Yun following them from behind.

....

Xiao Hei's and Xiao Yu's house,

At the living room, Xiao Hei, Xiao Yu, Xiao Hai and Xiao Yun are sitting at the living room in cross-legged style.

"Faster tell me what you want to said! I want to play with my grandson!"Xiao Hai said while his finger play with Xiao Long nose while smiling happily.

Xiao Hei,Xiao Yu and Xiao Yun just smile when they see this but this only last for a moment before Xiao Hei's expression turn back to serious expression.

"Dad what I want to show to you and say to you, you need to remember that you can't tell anyone else about this cause this is about the safety of Long'er."Xiao Hei said in deep tone.

Xiao Hai was shock when he heard what his son said before he also turned into serious and nod his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei then take off the white bundle from Xiao Long body and Xiao Hai was in shock with what he seeing..

He saw that on his grandson's back there is a tattoo of golden red dragon's head and at his hands there is a golden red colour dragon tattoo convoluted around it.

"Xiao Hei, what is this?!"Xiao Hai asked in shock tone.

"This is happen after Xiao Long was born,at that time the night suddenly turn bright and a sun appear. From the sun a golden red colour dragon appear....."

Xiao Hei told his father everything from the birth to the part that the dragon combining itself with Xiao Long and he also told his father that at that time, all the people in Clan and in the city had fainted, so no one actually know about it.

Xiao Hai take a deep breath after he heard what his son said before he start talking.

"I never thought that my grandson will be this extraordinary"Xiao Hai said while smiling before he run his grandson cheeks with his fingers softly.

"You should be glad that everyone have fainted and no one actually know about it except the three of you, if not I don't know what will happen but you don't need to worry because I will hold this secret tight, I will never tell anyone about this even if I will get torture."Xiao Hai said before he took his grandson into his hold kiss Xiao Long's head softly before his lips curled into a soft smile.

"Enough with the talk! I need to play with my grandson now!"Xiao Hai said before he took his grandson out from the house,leaving the others smiling with his quirks.

.....

Years 1675,

Minutes changed to hours and hours changed to days and days changed to months and months change to years and without knowing, six years have passed since Xiao Long's birth.

At the Mansion's courtyard of the Patriarch, there is a big tree that full with vitally making the tree very big and it's leaves vibrant in green colour.

Under the tree, there is a boy laying there and it's look like he had fallen asleep. This boy have a short black colour hair with burning red colour highlight, a handsome and cute boy with angular face shape ,ruby colour lips, nose that stand tall and pointed with sword shaped eyebrows.

This boy right now is wearing a black colour robe with golden lining making him looks like a noble and handsome young master.

This boy is no one other than Xiao Long who right now is already six years old,.the reason why he was laying under the tree because he fallen asleep there while looking at the clouds.

It's weird right for a six years old kid to gazing at the clouds, well it will be weird if it's a normal boy but Xiao Long is not a normal boy.

No one know his secrets and even his parents did not know that he actually is not a normal person but he actually a well know businessman on earth.

At the age of twenty he took over his father massive companies and at first, he actually a very friendly person that like making friends but thats all change when he take over the companies.

In just two years,he become a cold and calm person who did not open his own emotions easily and he also have a great calculative mind.

The reasons are because after two years taking over the companies, he know that if he still showing his emotions easily and did not have a calculative mind, he will falls over his enemy's knees and because of that he did not show his own emotions easily and also did not show his weakness.

Because of that, he become a very well know businessman but unfortunately, he did not live long to enjoy his glory.

When he was thirty years old, he was on vacation to celebrate his birthday alone and the one who know his location is only his father and his bestfriend for twenty years.

He as a businessman have a very sharp instinct and can know about the true nature of people and their heart but he never thought that his bestfriend for twenty years who actually very naive person and have a kind heart will turned into a vicious snake.

His bestfriend actually backstab him by telling his enemies about his location and two days after that he was dead by getting stab when he was walking around the city and the reason why he know his bestfriend is the one who backstab him is because on that day, he saw his best friend behind the guy that stab him, he saw how his best friend look at him when be was dying while smiling coldly.

Xiao Long who had fallen asleep suddenly wake up and lean on the tree before he let out a sigh.

"Its not use to think about the past because I can't do anything about it, what I need truly focus is my life here.This world is a lot different compare to earth, this world did not have technology, machines or cars but this world is a lot more dangerous compare to earth."

'In this world strength is matter more, the weak will get step by other and their lives will be on other people's hand.The weak can just become a dog while the strong can become a king!"

"I will not become a dog because in this life, I will become a king! I will rule my own lives and become an umberella for my parents who will protect them! I will become a king to not let other peoples step on me! This is my pledge!"Xiao Long said with a low tone while his eyes full with determination.

"Today will be a day for me to start my training and become stronger!"

Xiao Long said to himself before he stand up to search for his parents because his parents told him that he will start his training when he reach at the age of six years old.
