Chapter 226: 219. Gu Xinyue is pregnant (1/2)

219. Gu Xinyue is pregnant (1/2)

The Xuanhuang Sect has a Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse?

How is that possible!

Ning Xian'er and everyone in the Dark Division all wore grave expressions.

She found it hard to believe and asked, "The Spirit Qi concentration in the Great Thousand Domain is far inferior to the Mountain Sea Domain. Even we in the Mountain Sea Domain don't have Spirit Severing Stage powerhouses, so how could the Xuanhuang Sect, located in the Great Thousand Domain, have one?"

Before Liu Shuiyu could answer, a graceful figure walked in from outside the door.

It was Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.

"Master."

"Sect Master."

"Sect Master."

"..."

As soon as Xiao Qingyue appeared, Ning Xian'er and the members of the Dark Division all called out respectfully.

Liu Shuiyu, Deacon Lin, and the other undercover agents, however, showed terror on their faces, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

A few with poor psychological fortitude were even scared to the point of incontinence.

Xiao Qingyue was famous in the Heaven and Earth Sect for being ruthless and cruel in her methods of dealing with enemies; the undercover agents were all very afraid of her.

"You say there is a Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse in the Xuanhuang Sect; what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Qingyue walked up to Liu Shuiyu and stopped, looking down at her from above and asking coldly.

Her voice was like snow flying in December, chilling every person present until their body temperatures plummeted.

"Master's Ice Spirit Root has grown even stronger..."

Seeing that Xiao Qingyue could make the surrounding temperature drop just by speaking, Ning Xian'er felt even more awe in her heart, lamenting that mutant Spirit Roots were truly powerful—far stronger than the Water Spirit Root, which belonged to the same attribute within the Five Elements Spirit Root.

The few Dark Division members on the side were also shocked to the core at this moment, their loyalty to Xiao Qingyue rising to a new level.

The strength Xiao Qingyue displayed was simply too terrifying, making them afraid to harbor any thoughts of disloyalty.

"I am asking you a question; did you not hear me?"

Seeing that Liu Shuiyu had not made a sound for a long time, Xiao Qingyue's voice grew even colder.

Liu Shuiyu, who had just been scared silly to the point of forgetting to speak, instantly sobered up upon hearing this, her voice filled with fear as she said, "Replying to Sect Master, it is the former Sect Master of the Xuanhuang Sect—Cao Dian. He is that Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse of the Xuanhuang Sect!"

Cao Dian?

Xiao Qingyue slightly furrowed her willow brows, a trace of confusion appearing in her phoenix eyes.

Back when she was still the Saintess, she had learned from the former Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect that the Xuanhuang Sect Master, Cao Dian, had exhausted his lifespan and passed away in his Cave Abode.

It was also from that time on that the Spirit Qi concentration in the Great Thousand Domain had worsened day by day, and the Xuanhuang Sect had declined as a result.

Yet what Liu Shuiyu was saying now was that Cao Dian had not only not died, but had also become a Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse.

What was going on?

Xiao Qingyue was puzzled and full of doubt regarding Liu Shuiyu's answer, and she asked coldly once more:

"As far as I know, Cao Dian passed away more than six hundred years ago. How did he suddenly come back to life and become a Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse?"

"Even if what you say is true, you are just a small Deacon of the Alchemy Hall; even in the Xuanhuang Sect, you are only a small Deacon. How do you know these things?"

"If you cannot give me a reasonable and satisfactory explanation, I guarantee I will make you wish you were dead."

Xiao Qingyue's voice was very cold, and a fleeting trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Liu Shuiyu was scared to the point of incontinence, the liquid flowing down the inside of her legs to wet the floor, then instantly freezing into ice in the cold temperature.

Fearing she would anger Xiao Qingyue, she hurriedly said, "I am the eldest daughter of the Xuanhuang Sect's Alchemy Hall Elder. I learned this news from my father. It is absolutely true and certain, without a shred of falsehood."

"Cao Dian did not die back then; instead, he learned a formation and was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Spirit Severing Stage."

"And the reason the Great Thousand Domain's Spirit Qi concentration has decreased year by year is precisely because Cao Dian set up this formation in the Cave Abode where he was in seclusion."

"This formation is called the 'Spirit Absorption Great Array'; it can continuously absorb Spirit Qi, increasing the Spirit Qi concentration within the array to help those inside cultivate or break through."

"It was by using this formation that Cao Dian successfully broke through to the Spirit Severing Stage."

Liu Shuiyu did not hide a thing, decisively telling Xiao Qingyue everything she knew, hoping only to survive at Xiao Qingyue's hands.

Xiao Qingyue indeed did not kill her; instead, she casually killed a few undercover agents to serve as a warning to the others, then left expressionlessly, scaring the remaining undercover agents badly.

Ning Xian'er followed her out, walked to Xiao Qingyue's side, and asked weakly, "Master, is Liu Shuiyu's word credible?"

"A secret technique was used to show she isn't lying, but that doesn't rule out her having methods to circumvent telling the truth."

Xiao Qingyue replied coldly.

The world of cultivation is vast and full of wonders; although she is now a great Nascent Soul cultivator, she still does not have a hundred percent certainty in distinguishing whether a Golden Core stage cultivator is speaking the truth or not.

In the Cave Abode.

Chen An took out a bottle of Pregnancy Recovery Pill he had only finished refining yesterday, handed it to Gu Xinyue in front of him, and said, "Take one a day, preferably when the sun has just risen. If nothing goes wrong, it should be able to cure your uterine cold."

"And what if something does go wrong?" Gu Xinyue asked with some worry.

Chen An was speechless and said, "What are you thinking? Nothing will go wrong, don't be such a jinx."

Gu Xinyue pulled out the bottle stopper and poured out a Pregnancy Recovery Pill to examine it closely.

It was the size of a plum.

Its color was fiery red.

The surface was wreathed in wisps of pill aura.

One could feel the vigorous vitality within it.

After just examining it for a moment, Gu Xinyue couldn't wait any longer; she parted her red lips slightly and swallowed the Pregnancy Recovery Pill in her hand.

The next moment, her lower abdomen, which had been slightly cold, instantly became warm, as if it were being gently stroked by her husband's hand, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Husband, this Pregnancy Recovery Pill is really useful; my belly feels much warmer!"

Gu Xinyue's face revealed joy, and she was slightly excited.

Chen An reached out to touch it and laughed: "It really has become warmer; I can even feel it through your clothes."

"Husband, reach your hand inside and feel it; it's very warm."

"It is indeed very warm."

Chen An lifted Gu Xinyue's skirt and reached his hand inside, touching her flat and smooth lower abdomen, finding it truly warm, as if basking by a stove in the cold winter.

It seems this Pregnancy Recovery Pill is truly useful.

Gu Xinyue asked joyfully: "Husband, how long do I need to take this Pregnancy Recovery Pill to completely cure my uterine cold?"

"About half a month, perhaps a few days if it's faster."

Chen An said noncommittally.

He was also seeing a medicinal pill like the Pregnancy Recovery Pill for the first time and had no concept of its efficacy.

Saying this was merely to soothe the mood of his "ice-shard" concubine, lest she worry about this and that again, and end up depressed from all the worrying.

"Husband, do you want to feel the warmth more deeply?"

Perhaps due to the effects of the Pregnancy Recovery Pill, Gu Xinyue's pretty face flushed red, and she unexpectedly said such seductive words, contrary to her usual persona.

Chen An had always liked the sense of contrast; seeing his "ice-shard" concubine suddenly not icy anymore and becoming charming and seductive, he didn't say a word before picking her up and walking quickly toward the bed.

"Husband, wait, I haven't taken off my clothes yet."

"It feels even better without taking them off."

"Mm~"

Gu Xinyue was caught off guard by the kiss and instinctively let out a muffled groan.

But soon, she clumsily responded to Chen An, deepening their husband-and-wife affection together.

Happy times always pass very quickly.

Several days later.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

In the room.

Chen An held Gu Xinyue with one arm while toying with her fair Jade Foot with the other, closing his eyes slightly to rest and enjoy the brief tranquility after the storm.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Judging by the weight of the sound, it was his little darling wife Song Ying walking toward the room.

Soon, a series of light knocks on the door rang out.

Immediately after, the voice of his little darling wife Song Ying, sounding somewhat aggrieved and dissatisfied, came from outside the door:

"Husband, Sister Gu, how could you two be so excessive!"

"Last night was clearly my turn to sleep with you!"

"But you two went at it all night, leaving me to keep an empty room all by myself!"

Song Ying felt she had been wronged and was hinting at wanting compensation.

These past few days, Gu Xinyue had been thinking about pregnancy, pestering Chen An for intimacy every day, and had inadvertently neglected the other sisters, snatching away the time originally belonging to them to be with their husband.

Shen Qingyi and Wen Zhiyun were older and felt embarrassed to speak up.

Jiuji had to breastfeed her daughter three times a day and was drained, having no interest in bedroom affairs.

In the end, it could only be Song Ying, who had been occupied by Gu Xinyue for two nights and was younger than her, to bring this up.

"Ying, it's my fault; I've been too engrossed these past few days and didn't realize I was taking up your time."

Gu Xinyue hurriedly put on her clothes, her voice full of apology.

She hadn't intended to monopolize Chen An, but she was too affected by the desire to get pregnant and had inadvertently infringed upon the interests of the sisters.

Fortunately, Song Ying wasn't angry with her; she had just come to express her dissatisfaction and remind the two in the room to know when to stop and not stay glued together every day.

"Creak—"

Gu Xinyue pushed open the door and walked out, apologizing to Song Ying before her with a face full of regret: "Ying, it's my fault. I will make up for the two nights you lost."

After speaking, she walked quickly toward the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal to express her apology.

But more than that, she felt a bit embarrassed to face Song Ying right now and needed to leave quickly.

She was thin-skinned and felt ashamed for having done something that infringed on her sisters' interests, wanting to be alone in the kitchen to calm down first.

"Husband, you are so excessive; you've been neglecting me for almost ten days!"

Song Ying walked into the room and said to Chen An, who was still naked on the bed, with a look of feigned reproach.

Chen An moved his mind and closed the door from a distance.

He then sat up from the bed, pulled Song Ying into his arms, and laughed gently: "Then how do you want your husband to compensate you?"

"I want Husband to be my 'lickspittle'." Song Ying pouted her rosy cherry lips slightly, saying coquettishly with eyes full of affection.

Looking at the little darling wife with eyes like silk in his arms, Chen An laughed without hesitation: "Alright."

About an hour or so passed.

Song Ying lay flat on the bed, her breathing somewhat disordered, her hair matted with sweat sticking to her forehead.

"Are you over your anger yet?"

Chen An pinched Song Ying's cute cherry lips and teased her unseriously.

Song Ying's anger had long since dissipated, but she still feigned that she was a bit angry: "How could it be so easy to stop being angry? You have to be my 'lickspittle' for at least ten or eight days before I can forgive you."

"Ten or eight days is excessive; at most, I'll be your 'lickspittle' for one more day."

Chen An bargained.

Song Ying rolled over and sat on Chen An's waist, her eyes cunning: "One day is one day, but the condition is that on that day, you must let me be the mistress for the whole day."

"Are you pushing your luck?"

"Oh my, Husband, just say yes to me!"

Song Ying started acting spoiled at the slightest provocation, sitting on Chen An's waist and moving about, very clingy.

Chen An smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you, okay? Stop twisting and turning, hurry up and put on your clothes to go call your Sister Wen over."

"Husband is so mean, you're thinking of Sister Wen right after being intimate with me."

"There's nothing I can do about that, I haven't really spent time with the four of you these past few days, now that I have time, shouldn't I make it up to you one by one?"

"Hmph, you have a bit of a conscience then. I'll go call Sister Wen over to let you torment her now."

After Song Ying finished speaking, she kissed Chen An, put on her clothes in a few quick motions, and left the room to go call Wen Zhiyun over to suffer.

Soon, Wen Zhiyun came over to the room.

As soon as she entered, she grumbled, "You heartless man, you finally remembered me?"

Chen An smiled without speaking, choosing to use practical actions to soothe her.

In just a moment, her bellyband and white socks were scattered carelessly across the bed and floor; Wen Zhiyun, who had been full of dissatisfaction, was soon brought to heel.

After it was over.

Chen An said to Wen Zhiyun as well, "Go call your Sister Shen over, it's her turn to be compensated."

"I'm not going, go yourself if you want to!"

Wen Zhiyun had just felt good and her anger had dissipated, but she just didn't want to do as Chen An wished.

Chen An raised an eyebrow, decisively and fiercely disciplined her once more, and then used the Earth Escape Technique to escape to Shen Qingyi's room.

When he emerged from underground, Shen Qingyi was sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing cultivation.

"Husband."

Shen Qingyi slowly opened her beautiful eyes and called out with a faint smile on her face.

Chen An felt very gratified, thinking that the swordswoman concubine was indeed more gentle and understanding; even though she had been neglected for several days, she had not a single complaint about it.

"Husband, how is Yue's uterine cold being treated now? Can she conceive?"

Shen Qingyi asked with concern.

Chen An replied, "The treatment is going well. If she continues the treatment, I feel it shouldn't be long before she can conceive."

"That's wonderful."

Shen Qingyi was sincerely happy for Gu Xinyue.

She regarded Gu Xinyue as a younger sister, a disciple, and even a daughter; she had always been very concerned about Gu Xinyue's physical state and wanted her to be able to successfully conceive a child as well.

Hearing Chen An say this, her mood instantly became cheerful.

"Forget about Yue for now, it's time to discuss you bearing me a child."

After Chen An finished speaking, he got onto Shen Qingyi's bed, Proficiently undressed her, removed all her clothing in a few quick motions, and engaged in the joy of fish and water with her.

After about an hour or so passed.

Both husband and wife were finished.

"Husband, I'll go help you call Jiuji over."

Shen Qingyi was very sensible; she consciously put on her clothes and prepared to leave.

Chen An grabbed her slender jade hand and smiled gently, "No need, I used my Divine Sense to perceive that Jiuji is currently sleeping soundly on the bed, don't go disturb her."

"Then... shall I go call Yue over?"

Shen Qingyi suggested.

In the past, when she did this, it was purely for Gu Xinyue's benefit.

But now, she had an additional reason: she hoped Gu Xinyue could conceive a child soon, so that she could follow closely behind and conceive as well.

Chen An did not stop her, letting her go call Gu Xinyue.

Before long, Gu Xinyue arrived.

She had been called over by Shen Qingyi while she was halfway through cooking.

Ever since Chen An attained the Nascent Soul realm, his energy was inexhaustible.

Seeing Gu Xinyue arrive, he smiled and pulled her into his arms to check how the treatment for the uterine cold in her body was going and whether her body could conceive.

"Husband, wait, I just came from the kitchen and I'm a bit dirty, let me use a Cleaning Talisman to tidy up first."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen An didn't mind at all.

It was just a bit of kitchen smoke, a small problem.

Soon, the two were entangled on the bed.

After about half an incense stick of time.

Chen An felt his eyes flash, and a notification message popped up before him.

【Your wife Gu Xinyue is pregnant, rewarded with one hundred years of cultivation.】
