Jiuji is pregnant?

Rewarded with the Fox Demon's innate divine ability, Charm Technique?

Chen An looked at the notification information before him and was momentarily stunned.

This surprise came too suddenly, catching him off guard.

Seeing him suddenly dazed, Jiuji couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Husband, what is wrong?"

Hearing her voice, Chen An returned to his senses. Looking at Jiuji, who was still somewhat disheveled in front of him, he acted on a whim and cast the Charm Technique on her, wanting to test its power.

A faint purple glow flashed across his eyes, and the next moment, Jiuji, who was looking directly at him, had pink hearts appear in her eyes, completely bewitched by him.

"Husband, hehe, Husband, hehe, my Husband, hehe..."

Jiuji suddenly acted as if she were mentally deficient; while giggling foolishly, crystal-clear drool flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her in this state, Chen An couldn't help but feel a wave of confusion.

Is this what it looks like to be under the Charm Technique?

Why does it look different from those bird demons that were charmed by Jiuji in the past?

Could it be because the proficiency of the Charm Technique is too low?

Chen An felt that must be the case.

After roughly figuring this out, he snapped his fingers at Jiuji, releasing her from the charmed state.

Once the charmed state was lifted, Jiuji looked at the weeds around her, her eyes filled with confusion.

She did not know what had just happened to her.

It felt as if she had fainted; she remembered nothing.

"Husband, did I just faint?"

Jiuji was completely baffled, and she looked at Chen An to ask, still carrying a bit of her previous confusion.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt that her question was a bit silly.

She had been standing in the same position from beginning to end; it was impossible for her to have fainted.

However, Chen An did not answer her question, but instead said to her with a mysterious expression:

"I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news to tell you. Which one would you like to hear first?"

"Good news and bad news?"

Jiuji was a bit dazed, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Husband, I would like to hear the good news first."

Chen An reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist, while his other hand stroked her delicate face, which was so tender it seemed ready to drip water, and he smiled gently:

"I just sensed through my Divine Sense that a new life is growing in your belly."

"In layman's terms, you are pregnant."

"Ah?"

Jiuji was stunned upon hearing this.

At this moment, she could not tell if she was happy or unhappy; her heart was a mix of many emotions.

Born as a fox for eighteen years, she had never thought about having children.

However, she was suddenly told that she was pregnant.

Regarding this matter, she felt a bit at a loss for a moment.

She couldn't even take care of herself; how could she take care of this child that had suddenly appeared?

Chen An had originally thought that Jiuji would show a look of joy upon hearing the news of the pregnancy. Seeing her look of bewilderment now, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

It seems this little fox demon still hasn't fully integrated into this family; there is still a sense of compromise and resignation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a stunned expression upon learning she was carrying her husband's flesh and blood.

Jiuji did not notice the fleeting disappointment on Chen An's face. She slightly furrowed her slender, delicate willow eyebrows as she looked at Chen An and asked somewhat nervously:

"Husband, what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that you will probably lose your freedom completely from now on; you will have to take care of the child during the day and be tormented by me at night."

Chen An said truthfully.

Jiuji had wondered what the bad news could be, but hearing this, she only calmly said "Oh," without any emotional fluctuation.

The bad news Chen An spoke of was something she had already seen from Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun; she felt it was fine and there was nothing painful about it.

Compared to the days when she was imprisoned in a dark, sunless cave, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"Don't you think this is bad news?"

Seeing the little fox demon being overly calm, Chen An asked with a look of confusion.

Jiuji shook her head and said with a look of resignation: "I have already been eaten clean by you; it was entirely foreseeable that I would eventually become the same as Sister Song and Sister Wen."

"Then why did you look so unhappy when you heard the good news just now?"

"I wasn't unhappy, I was just... just not prepared. I never thought I would be pregnant with a baby so soon."

Jiuji stroked her flat lower abdomen, still feeling that it was very sudden even now.

Hearing her say this, Chen An felt much better.

It seems this little fox demon still has some sense of belonging to the family; the method of letting feelings grow over time had ultimately worked.

Thinking this, he moved his mind, removed all the Sea Tower Stone Restrictive Magical Artifacts from Jiuji's body from a distance, and stored them all in his Storage Ring, returning Jiuji's personal freedom.

Jiuji looked at Chen An with surprise, clearly not expecting him to make this move.

Chen An explained softly: "The child in your belly will need to rely on the Spirit Power in your body to grow from now on. I can no longer use Sea Tower Stone to restrict you; it is time to return your freedom."

"You are returning my freedom just like this; aren't you afraid that one day I will escape back home and take revenge on you?"

Jiuji's beautiful eyes, shimmering with a light purple hue, gazed straight into Chen An's eyes, her voice calm and rippleless.

Chen An gave a wry smile and said, "You have already been thoroughly devoured by me, and you are even carrying my child; if I were still to be retaliated against after all that, I would just have to accept it."

He was only saying this to sound pleasant on the surface, but in reality, he had been calculating in his heart all along.

Essence Blood Enslavement has the effect of Bloodline sensing, which can track Jiuji's location at any time.

Furthermore, since they are currently within the Heaven and Earth Sect, both entry and exit are restricted.

If Jiuji wanted to return home to find people for revenge, it would take a certain amount of time to accomplish.

And during this period, he would have plenty of time to take his family and flee to safety; he was not afraid of being retaliated against by Jiuji at all.

However, Jiuji did not know the calculations currently in his heart.

Seeing her husband trust her so much, Jiuji could not help but feel a little moved.

The brutal acts her husband had committed against her in the past were now completely drowned out by her husband's kindness.

"Husband, I will not take revenge on you. Ten months from now, I will give birth to the child in my womb and raise her to adulthood with you."

Jiuji stepped forward to embrace Chen An, buried her face in his chest, and silently listened to his heartbeat.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to embrace Chen An.

Although Chen An had heartlessly tortured her for nearly half a year in the past, she had now completely come to terms with it.

Chen An was handsome and possessed outstanding natural talent; wasn't this the spouse she had dreamed of?

Why would she want to take revenge on him?

The correct approach should be to use the experience of having been imprisoned and tortured by her husband in a cave to make her husband feel indebted and compensate her in the future, thereby occupying a greater place in her husband's heart.

Perhaps, if she played her cards right, she could even turn the tables, transforming from a lowly concubine pinned beneath her husband into a mistress who could sit on top of him.

【You are full of trust for your wife Jiuji, which makes her feel a wave of emotion; marital affection +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...】

Chen An first glanced at the notification message that had suddenly popped up, then looked down at Jiuji, who was embracing him for the first time, and quickly raised his hand to wrap it around her back, hugging her as he pressed his face to her ear and said softly:

"Jiuji, I will treat you well from now on."
