Chapter 22

"Is this, already born?"

Looking at Lady Yin's adorable baby in her arms, the women exchanged glances.

After all, it was too simple—Lady Yin merely took a nap, and the child was born.

If it weren't for the baby's cry at birth waking her, she would have continued sleeping soundly.

"Indeed, as the system said, my offspring, the dragon race genes will be recessive; the appearance traits are mainly based on the mother's race!"

Looking at Lady Yin's baby in her arms, Ao Yifan also let out a sigh of relief.

After all, if his child were born with horns on its head and a tail behind, his dragon identity would be impossible to hide, right?

Of course, this doesn't mean his child cannot undergo dragon transformation.

However, his dragon race genes are recessive; only when the offspring's strength reaches the Golden Immortal level can he actively activate the dragon race genes and undergo dragon transformation.

"Ding-dong, the host's offspring Ao Jinzha has been born; now reward his mother Lady Yin with one Spirit Qi Infusion!"

Just then, a voice sounded in Ao Yifan's mind: the system.

"Who would have thought that after the child's birth there would still be a reward, and this reward is aimed at the child's mother—is it to compensate her for the hardship of giving birth?"

Ao Yifan thought to himself.

At the same time, Lady Yin also sensed a change in her body; it seemed that boundless spirit qi was frantically pouring into her.

"Prince Consort, what's happening to me?"

The sudden change startled Lady Yin.

"Hehe, Lady Yin, don't worry; perhaps this is Heaven looking upon Lady Yin, granting you a reward for bearing a vigorous heir for the Great Shang!"

Ao Yifan grasped Lady Yin's hand and comforted her.

"Is it really like that?"

Lady Yin was still somewhat worried; after all, she had never experienced the feeling of spirit qi constantly pouring into her body.

If it weren't for the Prince Consort and the child by her side, and her body seemingly fine, she wouldn't know what to do.

……

"What strong spirit qi—how could Morning Song City have such strong spirit qi?"

On a teahouse, Fairy Yunhua, who was having a meal with her friends, felt the rich spirit qi outside the city and couldn't help but stand up.

"Yunhua, what's wrong with you?"

Beside her, Consort Huang couldn't help but ask.

"Come on, let's leave the city together!"

Fairy Yunhua didn't explain, she grabbed Consort Huang's hand and flew out of the teahouse.

"Hey, wait a moment, we haven't paid the bill yet!"

Consort Huang was being pulled by Fairy Yunhua, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

But at this moment, Fairy Yunhua had no mind to heed Consort Huang's words; all her thoughts were focused on the source of the spirit qi.

After all, Morning Song City's spirit qi is subdued due to the suppression of national fortune.

Now, the appearance of such rich spirit qi likely means a great treasure has emerged, in Fairy Yunhua's view.

Along the way, Fairy Yunhua also saw many others who shared the same goal.

"Indeed, Morning Song City hides dragons and tigers; usually they keep hidden, but now they're all showing themselves!"

Fairy Yunhua thought, and in an instant she displayed her divine powers, throwing everyone behind her.

Soon, Fairy Yunhua brought a still-shocked Consort Huang to the spirit energy source.

But what surprised her was that the spirit qi source was not a magic treasure or spiritual medicine, but a person—a very beautiful woman!

"This, is Spirit Qi Infusion!"

Seeing this scene before her, Fairy Yunhua's eyes flashed with sudden understanding.

After all, she knows this person well.

You should know that back then she became an immortal from an ordinary mortal not by her own efforts, but by her brother using great divine powers to perform Spirit Qi Infusion on her, forcibly raising her level.

This is also why, for many years, Fairy Yunhua has not been enthusiastic about cultivation.

There's no way around it—when a shortcut exists, who would continue toiling?

It's a pity that later Fairy Yunhua begged her brother several times, but he refused to continue giving her Spirit Energy Infusion.

Not only was she refused, but she was also severely scolded by her own—she was told to stay grounded, work hard in cultivation, and not think of taking shortcuts.

In a fit of anger, Yunhua Immortal descended to the mortal realm, which led to her being injured, joining the Yuxu Palace, finding it boring, and running off to Chaoge City to have fun.

How wonderful, looking at the scale of this spiritual aura infusion, it's not much weaker than what I achieved back then; I wonder how she managed it.

Yunhua Immortal secretly thought.

Suddenly, her gaze locked onto a figure.

It's him!

With just a glance, Yunhua Immortal saw the man holding the hand of the woman undergoing spiritual aura infusion—the very person the Yuxu Palace had instructed her to investigate.

Huh? Yunhua, is that the person you asked me to investigate? How is he together with Princess Su Zhi?

At that moment, Consort Huang beside her exclaimed in shock.

Princess Su Zhi?

Yunhua Immortal's face showed a hint of puzzlement.

Yes!

Consort Huang said: "That woman holding the man's hand is the king's younger sister, Princess Su Zhi. Looking at their intimate appearance, could that man be the mysterious prince consort of Princess Su Zhi who has been the talk of the town lately?"

So he is the Chaoge prince consort!

Yunhua Immortal's eyes flickered.

……

"Sir, many people have come, and most of them are cultivators!"

The mirage shadow quietly hums.

Although she didn't understand the changes in Lady Yin's body, there was one thing she was clear about: this infusion of spiritual energy was a great opportunity for cultivators, and it was inevitable that someone would harbor covetous thoughts.

"Don't worry about it; anyone who dares to act will be killed, and that's that!"

Holding the Open Heaven Seal and the Myriad Dragon Pillar, possessing the Void Claw and the Three Thousand Illusory Body Escape, Ao Yifan now, even when facing a Golden Immortal, feels no fear.

If these surrounding cultivators dare to act, he doesn't mind unleashing a slaughter.

After all, he is now the Great Shang Prince Consort, and his wife is the Great Shang Princess.

These people dare to act against the princess and prince consort in Morning Song City; I will kill them all, and their deaths will be in vain!

"Attack!"

Suddenly, a fierce shout rang out.

Immediately after, two figures soared up and lunged at where Ao Yifan and his companions were.

"Protect the queen and princess!"

Seeing someone make a move, the already prepared Li Jing immediately stepped in front of Ao Yifan and the others.

"A bunch of mortals!"

He snorted disdainfully, and saw an old man with a goat beard throw out a sack.

In the next moment, a fierce wind kicked up, blowing sand and rocks, sending Li Jing's soldiers flying helter-skelter.

"Whoosh—"

An arrow shot through the air, breaking through the fierce wind, straight for the goat-bearded old man's face.

Seeing this, the goat-bearded old man was also startled; he never expected that these mortals before him actually possessed such strength.

"But after all, it's just petty tricks; before this immortal..."

The goat-bearded old man was about to unleash an immortal technique to block the incoming arrow.

However, before he could act, he felt the surrounding space tighten, and all his movements seemed to freeze.

"Pfft—"

In the next moment, an arrow pierced the goat-bearded old man's brain.

This sight left many cultivators around dumbfounded.

An immortal was actually shot to death by a mortal's arrow!
