Chapter 107: Demon Pill

「Taiyi fellow Daoist, looks like the demon pill you mentioned isn't that scary, huh! 」

Ao Yifan smiled and loosened Taiyi Zhenren's wrist.

He rubbed his slightly sore wrist, Taiyi Zhenren looked at Lady Yin with an incredulous expression and said: "Tsk tsk, such a powerful infusion of spiritual qi, I've never seen this before; this has already reached Golden Immortal level, and yet it hasn't stopped!"

Not only Taiyi Zhenren, but Ao Yifan also didn't expect it.

His wife, who gave birth after a three-year pregnancy, the spiritual qi infusion was surprisingly turbulent.

The vast spiritual qi had already allowed Lady Yin to break through to Heavenly Immortal, skip Mysterious Immortal, and reach the Golden Immortal level.

Without this vast spiritual qi, the demonic qi of the demon pill could not possibly have been suppressed to the point of immobility.

And this hasn't ended yet; spiritual qi keeps pouring into Lady Yin's body, mid Golden Immortal, late Golden Immortal.

Finally, a scene that almost made Taiyi Zhenren's jaw drop occurred.

Lady Yin actually rose directly from a minor Heavenly Immortal to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!

"What's going on?"

Not only Taiyi Zhenren, but the other sisters as well, especially Jiutian Xuan'nü, who truly wanted to break free from Cihang Dao Ren's control, were genuinely envious.

After all, they had never seen such a massive one-time infusion of spiritual qi.

"Prince Consort, look how cute our child is, he really looks like you!"

At this moment, Lady Yin had no mind to worry about her own cultivation increase; she stayed by Ao Yifan's side, holding little Xiao Nezha in her arms, her face full of joy.

To be honest, Lady Yin also has deep affection for Jin Zha and Mu Zha, but the time they spent in the womb was too short, whereas Nezha was carried for a full three years.

Moreover, just thinking about how Xiao Nezha, upon birth, was schemed against by the Chan Sect, made Lady Yin feel even more pity for him.

"Mm, he's indeed cute, but this child might be a bit mischievous; when the time comes, Lady, you mustn't spank him!"

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

"How could that be?"

Lady Yin reached out, gently poked Xiao Nezha's cute little cheek, and said with a tender expression: "Our little Xiao Nezha is so cute; as his mother, how could I spank him just because he's mischievous?"

"Crack!"

Xiao Nezha, influenced by demonic qi, indeed had a bad temper; feeling someone poke his little cheek, he opened his mouth and bit down on Lady Yin's finger.

However, Lady Yin, who had already reached Taiyi Golden Immortal, had fingers as hard as gold and iron; Xiao Nezha's bite almost broke one of his own teeth.

"Waa—"

The pain of his tooth made Xiao Nezha let out a "waa" and burst into tears.

Lady Yin, not understanding, looked at Xiao Nezha biting her finger and affectionately said: "Zha'er must be hungry; Prince Consort, I'll take him to get something to eat, milk."

Ao Yifan's mouth twitched, and he too was resigned to his wife's big heart.

"Princess, Prince Consort!"

Just then, the citizens who had been observing the ceremony stepped forward.

"What's the matter?"

Ao Yifan said lightly.

"Prince Consort, just now we seemed to see a demonic qi; we don't know if this matter is related to the Third Young Master."

An elder stepped forward and said.

"So what if it is?"

As for this matter, Ao Yifan had no intention of hiding it.

"This..."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances; they hadn't expected Ao Yifan to admit it so openly.

"Prince Consort, Princess, that demonic qi is an ill omen; if it remains in Chentang Pass, then..."

The elder hesitated while speaking.

But before he could finish his words, Ao Yifan pointed a finger at the city wall of Chentang Pass.

"That poisonous flood dragon's head, do you still remember it?"

Ao Yifan said calmly.

"We naturally remember!"

The crowd all nodded.

"If it weren't for the Princess and Prince Consort slaying that poisonous flood dragon, the citizens of Chentang Pass would probably still be living under the persecution of those demon clans."

"Just remember that!"

Ao Yifan said: "Remember, your current life is what I and the Princess have given you; if anyone is dissatisfied with my child, feel free to speak up, and I can send you away from Chentang Pass; I don't want to hear again that my child is an ill omen."

"We dare not; the Third Young Master is the kirin child of the Prince Consort and Princess, a heaven‑chosen prodigy, surely a blessed person!"

In an instant, the crowd all lowered their heads and began flattering.

"Exactly, the Third Young Master is the fortune star of our Chentang Pass; whoever dares to speak ill of him, I will be the first to object."

"Right, we won't either!"

"..."

In an instant, the citizens' attitudes did a complete 180‑degree turn.

Simply because none of them wanted to give up the good life in Chentang Pass.

Nowadays, Chentang Pass is an important stronghold of the Merchant Alliance.

The Eastern branch of the Merchant Alliance is located here, its leader being Shang Qingjun.

After the Merchant Alliance was established, it gathered the world's wealth; now the business in Chentang Pass can be said to have risen to a higher level.

It can be said that in Chentang Pass, whatever you do, you can make a fortune.

Moreover, with the abundant resources of the entire four seas, the people's lives are also very prosperous.

Letting them leave Chen Tang Pass is more painful for them than killing them.

Ao Yifan's attitude is also clear: he wants these people to remember who brought them their good days.

Even if my son is a demon, what right do you have to criticize?

This is also an attitude Ao Yifan expresses: he wants these people not to take their current good days for granted, but to always remember whose doing it is that lets them live this prosperous life.

Let the flowing-water banquet continue; add three delicacies to each table to celebrate the birth of the third prince!

At this moment, Shang Qingjun waved her hand and said.

In an instant, the congratulatory sounds never ceased, and everyone chose to forget the terrifying demonic aura that had risen earlier.

Watching Lady Yin hold little Nezha as she went into the inner chamber, Ao Yifan personally poured a cup of wine for Taiyi True Person.

Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please take good care of teaching my son Nezha from now on.

Ao Yifan said.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi True Person sighed, then downed the fine wine in his cup.

Ah, this matter is ultimately my responsibility; I really ought to see it through to the end!

Another cup of wine went down, and Taiyi True Person's head became dizzy again.

Why do I feel like I forgot something? Ah, never mind—this wine is really great!

At this moment, Taiyi True Person only remembers the fine wine before him, completely forgetting that the demon pill had merged with Nezha, but the whereabouts of the Spiritual Pearl are unknown.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan smiled; everything was proceeding smoothly.

……

Fellow Daoist Shen, it's really you—how is the Spiritual Pearl?

The East Sea Dragon Palace, already half-repaired, is now resplendent with gold and jade, no longer the ruined wreck it once was.

The Spiritual Pearl is gone, gone...

Shen Gongbao only stutters inexplicably when facing Ao Yifan; before Ao Guang, he becomes stammering again.

Is the Spiritual Pearl gone?

Ao Guang's face darkened.

No problem!

Finally, Shen Gongbao finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's face turned black, as if he recalled that this person indeed has this habit.

Hehehe, Little Lie, run fast, or else Mom will catch you and spank your butt again!

Just then, a clear peal of laughter rang out.
