Chapter 146: Reinforce the Seal

Plucking Stars Pavilion is a huge tower that Di Xin built for Su Daji afterwards.

It signifies plucking stars with one hand, meant to lure down the heavenly immortals to share this worldly prosperity.

Of course, what it draws are only those monsters that have cultivated into essences.

Ao Yifan was receiving a construction-related reward for the first time, and upon a quick glance, he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

Tower Reaching Heaven, symbolizing reaching heaven!

According to the description, once this tower is set up, it can lead straight to the Heavenly Realm!

"I was still wondering how to sneak into heaven without anyone knowing, but unexpectedly, sleep brought a pillow, and the Seven Fairies in the Jade Pool—tsk tsk!"

With a steadfast heart for the Dao, Ao Yifan's wish to have children, and to have excellent children, will never stop.

The Seven Fairies are all heavenly beings; Ao Yifan won't be satisfied with just one, he also wants to see whether the children born from the Seven Fairies are actually seven gourd babies.

"However, it's also time to go out now; my elder brother-in-law over there must be getting impatient!"

Thinking this, Ao Yifan cast a spell, making his appearance look somewhat worn.

……

"Prince Consort, you've worked hard!"

Seeing Ao Yifan's weary face, Emperor Xin also couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Sure enough, it's a monster—absorbing essence and qi, truly too cruel!

"Your Majesty, I have not failed my orders!"

Ao Yifan said: "I have already used a secret method to temporarily suppress the demonic entity within Su Daji's body, but the seal is not stable; I need to reinforce it from time to time!"

"Mm"

Emperor Xin patted Ao Yifan's shoulder and said: "Then, Prince Consort, I'll have someone send some tonics to the Princess Manor later."

Speaking, Emperor Xin changed the topic: "Right, Prince Consort, I plan to use this opportunity of the campaign against the disobedient feudal lords to have Jiaoer and Hong'er follow you and Su Zhi for some training—what do you think?"

"That's a good thing!"

Ao Yifan said: "I think, not only Jiaoer and Hong'er, but other princes also need proper training; only by making the princes as wise and mighty as Your Majesty can we better protect the great Shang legacy for Your Majesty."

"What the Prince Consort said is not bad; from now on, my children will be entrusted to you!"

Emperor Xin nodded in satisfaction; now, the more he looked at this brother-in-law, the more pleasing he found him.

"Yes, sir!"

Ao Yifan readily agreed.

As for teaching these princes, he is also duty-bound, after all, he is their father!

……

"What should we do? This body is actually pregnant!"

Inside the palace, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit sensed the tiny life within Daji's body, and couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.

Originally, the plan was to use this body to bewitch Emperor Xin.

Now this body actually pregnant with that Prince Consort's child—isn't that the end?

"Damn it!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit wanted to destroy the life in her belly, but she soon sadly realized that whenever she had such a thought, Su Daji's soul would surge forth and forcibly stop her action.

"This damned seal actually suppressed my great forces; now even this little girl dares to defy me!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit's face looked extremely grim.

At the same time, Su Daji's soul firmly said: "I won't let you harm my and the Prince Consort's child!"

At this moment, Su Daji felt happy in her heart.

Possessed by the monster clan, she originally thought her life was doomed to end like this.

But she never expected that Ao Yifan would be like a lamp lighting her path forward, bringing her hope.

Now, although Su Daji still can't regain control of her body, she can clearly feel that the monster clan's power within her has also become very weak.

At least, as long as she is unwilling, the monster clan cannot control her body to do things she doesn't want to do.

"The Prince Consort said he would come often to see me and help reinforce the seal against the monster clan; I don't know when he'll come next."

Su Daji's heart was full of anticipation.

Just thinking about how to reinforce the seal, Su Daji's cheeks involuntarily flushed.

"Damn it, this little girl, what is she daydreaming about?"

Having controlled Su Daji's body, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit can also sense her thoughts.

So, when Su Daji thinks of those embarrassing things, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit can also empathize.

"Shameless little girl!"

……

"Prince Consort, you're back—come see, this is the military plan I devised!"

Ao Yifan had just returned to the Princess Manor when he saw an excited Madam Yin.

Obviously, having obtained part of the campaign plan, she wasn't idle at all and stayed up all night to draft a plan.

"Madam, your plan might need some changes."

Gently embracing Madam Yin's slender waist, Ao Yifan smiled and said: "His Majesty just instructed me to have the princes follow us for training, so your plan needs to give the princes something to do."

"Like that, okay, I'll think again!"

She swatted away Ao Yifan's mischievous hand, and Madam Yin took out her plan again.

Now is the crucial moment for her to show her prowess; she can't have a child with Ao Yifan at this time.

After being rebuffed by Madam Yin, Ao Yifan could only go look for Shang Qingjun.

However, upon learning that Shang Qingjun had gone to the Chancellor's Manor, Ao Yifan felt a bit glum.

Forget it, let's go find the Queen!

……

You're also getting ready to come along?

Ao Yifan glanced, somewhat surprised, at Jiang the Queen and Consort Huang in his arms; he hadn't expected that, upon hearing his own child was preparing to go out to battle, they too were getting ready to follow.

The child is still young; as mothers, we naturally worry.

Jiang the Queen said, "Besides, I haven't been back to my tribe in ages, and I also want to return home for a visit."

Hehe, I'll go wherever the Queen goes.

Consort Huang smiled and said, "Besides, this time I'll also bring along my few nephews so they can get some training too."

This should be fine; the Great King probably won't object, right?

Ao Yifan said, "The Queen and Noble Consort leaving the palace is no trivial matter."

Although, over the years, they have occasionally slipped out of the palace to meet Ao Yifan.

But, that hasn't escaped notice, has it?

The Great King is busy with North Sea affairs, overwhelmed; he has no time to look after us now, so we might as well take this chance to go out and have fun.

Consort Huang said with a smile.

……

Late at night, Ao Yifan secretly sought out Emperor Xin.

Aren't we heading back to Chen Tang Pass? Naturally, the seal against the monster clan also needs to be strengthened.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin felt moved.

After all, Ao Yifan is exhausted, yet he still thinks of easing the burden for himself; such self‑sacrifice—Emperor Xin is not heartless, how could he not be moved?

"Prince Consort, it seems that entrusting Su Zhi to you is the wisest decision I have ever made."

Emperor Xin said solemnly, "But you also need to look after your health; if necessary, feel free to pick any supplements from the royal treasury."
