Chapter 16: Queen Jiang's Pregnancy

Indeed, it is like this: my imperial sister-in-law's previous life was actually the Lunar Star Lord, who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation before being reborn as my imperial sister-in-law.

Madam Yin, upon hearing Ao Yifan's narration, immediately showed a slightly strange expression.

Just, imperial sister-in-law, are you really sure that the prince consort is the person you have been waiting for in your past life?

There's no mistake!

Queen Jiang said, actively grabbing Ao Yifan's hand, and said: 'Even if my true spirit were annihilated, I would never mistake his appearance.'

Ah!

A cry of alarm rang out; in the next moment, the Jiang Queen, who had just been gazing affectionately at Ao Yifan, pulled her hand back as if shocked by electricity.

How could this be, Suzhi? What should I do? I feel like I can't control my own body.

Queen Jiang looked at Madam Yin with a tense expression.

But soon she regained her cool demeanor again and said: 'You are merely my reincarnation; just hand over control of your body to me, okay?'

But I have already married the Great King; what should I do now?

Hmph, what Great King? Your only man is him alone!

This, this won't do; he is Suzhi's prince consort!

You dare not obey my words?

Ah, what are you doing? Don't do this!

……

Watching the bewildering scene before her, Madam Yin momentarily didn't know what to do.

Most crucially, her prince consort suddenly became the person her imperial sister-in-law had been awaiting in her past life.

In that case, what should be done about her imperial elder brother?

For a moment, Madam Yin also didn't know what to do, and could only turn her head to look at Ao Yifan beside her.

Faced with Madam Yin's gaze, Ao Yifan also shook his head helplessly.

It was obvious that they originally thought awakening Changxi's past-life true spirit would make everything go smoothly.

But they didn't expect that in this life, Queen Jiang's consciousness would also be extremely strong; even the true spirit of the ancient great god Changxi could not erase her consciousness.

Is it because of the tribulation qi?

Ao Yifan secretly thought to himself.

After all, Queen Jiang's problem was not completely resolved.

The two consciousnesses were constantly fighting for control of the body.

However, relatively speaking, during the day Queen Jiang held the advantage, but at night, when the moonlight rose…

Huh? How did you come here?

Feeling a slightly cold delicate body in his arms, Ao Yifan shuddered slightly.

How? You don't want to see me, you faithless person!

Queen Jiang expressed some dissatisfaction.

But you share a body with her; you came to find me—does she agree?

Ao Yifan said.

Hmph, what can be done if she doesn't agree?

Queen Jiang expressed dissatisfaction: 'Before, my true spirit was not awakened; now that I have awakened, my man can only be you!'

This, fine then!

Ao Yifan is not one to be pretentious; after all, he has done all this precisely for this moment.

And just as the two were practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Grand Dao, the consciousness of Queen Jiang, suppressed in the corner, now felt like crying but could not shed tears.

Her, how could she do this? It's mortifying!

……

Dingdong, congratulations host for letting the Yin-Shang Queen, Queen Jiang, bear offspring; reward: two thousand years of cultivation, reward: Yin Shang national fortune buff, immune to all calamities!

Dingdong, detection of abundant fortune in Queen Jiang's offspring; reward: two thousand years of cultivation, reward: advanced Heaven-Overturning Seal, Heaven-Opening Seal!

Living up to expectations, after spending several hours, Queen Jiang finally conceived her own child.

Forty thousand years of cultivation also instantly elevated Ao Yifan to the late Profound Immortal stage, just one step away from the peak Profound Immortal, not far from Golden Immortal either!

Golden Immortal, that is truly a major power of a region.

Ao Yifan had been thinking of Ao Run, the first to bear his child; but Ao Yifan estimated that if he returned now, he would surely be beaten to death by her.

After all, he had taken advantage of her sleep to give her a child; now Ao Run likely harbors a murderous intent toward him.

Ao Yifan naturally did not want to die pointlessly; at the very least, he wanted to have some self-defense capability before going to see his first child and the child's mother.

Therefore, before breaking through to Golden Immortal, Ao Yifan absolutely could not return to that undersea purgatory again.

Besides the forty thousand years of cultivation, another reward was the Yin Shang national fortune and immunity to all calamities; in Ao Yifan's view, that was also an excellent thing.

One must know that tribulation qi is something exceedingly mysterious.

And the impending Great Tribulation of Fengshen is filled with countless powerful beings who have been slain by tribulation energy.

There are even humanoid disseminators of tribulation energy, Shen Gongbao!

A single utterance of 'Fellow Daoist, please stay' has caused many Great Immortals to lose their wits and be killed by trickery.

Now, Ao Yifan possesses the protection of the Yin Shang national fortune and immunity to all calamities, thus gaining the right to converse on equal terms with Shen Gongbao.

Otherwise, if at any time Shen Gongbao says 'Fellow Daoist, please stay,' then he would have nowhere to cry.

As for the child Queen Jiang bore for him, Ao Yifan is also quite certain that it is none other than the later renowned Yin Shang Crown Prince, Yin Jiao!

After all, the Heaven-Overturning Seal has already appeared; what else is there to ponder?

What Ao Yifan obtained is the advanced version of the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the Heaven-Opening Seal.

One seal opens heaven—this thing is even mightier than the Heaven-Overturning Seal.

After all, from ancient times to the present, only Pangu Dashen's Heaven-Opening Axe possesses the power to open heaven.

Of course, the Heaven-Opening Seal surely lacks the terrifying power of Pangu Dashen's Heaven-Opening Axe, but any treasure that even hints at heaven-opening must be incredibly strong.

"What to do? What to do? What should we do now?"

At that moment, Jiang Wanghou in his embrace wore a look of panic.

Seeing her expression, Ao Yifan knew that Jiang Wanghou herself had once again taken control of the body.

As for Changxi, she had already fallen asleep, content.

"Queen, what's wrong?"

Ao Yifan gently held Jiang Wanghou and asked.

Hearing that, Jiang Wanghou gave Ao Yifan a resentful look and said, "You know full well I'm carrying your child; what are we to do about the king?"

"Is that a problem?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile, "With your power from your past life, you can surely confuse the king's consciousness, making him think this is his child, right?"

"You, you want your child to plot to take the Shang throne?"

Jiang Wanghou looked at Ao Yifan with a shocked expression.

Such a thing would be utterly shocking and scandalous for people of this era.

After all, things like substituting a civet cat for the prince—who knows how many years later before people would understand such a maneuver.

And in this era, legitimacy is very important.

"How? Don't you want your own child to sit in that position?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile, "The Shang dynasty's fortune is exhausted, heaven and earth have sent down a great calamity; if we can change the dynasty, we can naturally dispel much of the calamitous energy, perhaps even save many lives that were originally destined to perish."

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, Jiang Wanghou gave her a strange look and said, "How come I hear you saying that using your child to scheme for the Shang divine artifact is a deed of boundless merit?"

"Hehe, fine, let's not mention that. Just now your consciousness was suppressed, your sensation probably wasn't very real; I can't play favorites, so now I'll make it up to you!"

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

Hearing that, Jiang Wanghou's face showed a hint of panic.

"Watch out for the child!"

Although flustered, she did not refuse; obviously, Jiang Wanghou has also accepted this reality.
