Chapter 3: Lady Yin's Pregnancy

For the sake of the people, having him bear a child is actually nothing.

Lady Yin glanced shyly at the tall, handsome Ao Yifan, and had to admit that the dragon race naturally possessed a fine physique, which was extremely lethal to mortal women.

Besides, my body has already been seen by him; if I don't marry him, what else can I do?

Well, even though Lady Yin is a heroine among women, her awareness is still greatly limited.

Having seemingly convinced herself, Lady Yin said, 'I can agree to bear you a child, but you must help me eradicate the monster clan of Chen Tang Pass; otherwise, I will take the child back to Morning Song and you will never see your child again!'

Well, threatening oneself with one's own child also fits the identity of the other party as a Yin Shang princess.

Fine, I guarantee I will help you pacify the monster turmoil of Chen Tang Pass!

Ao Yifan was overjoyed and swept Lady Yin up in a horizontal embrace.

There's no delay; let's start now!

Ah? No need to be so hurried?

Time waits for no one; only by leaving me offspring can I unreservedly help you eliminate the monster menace of Chen Tang Pass!

Then, alright, hurry up; the people of Chen Tang Pass are still waiting for me to save them!

I'll do my best!

……

Thus, mortals know nothing about the dragon race.

For a dragon, bearing a child is not something that can be rushed at all.

Ao Yifan is fine thanks to the system's assistance, but for other dragon races, raising offspring takes years.

Nevertheless, the gestation process lasting several hours still left Lady Yin, who had been in good health since childhood, somewhat exhausted.

No more, no more, I'm too tired; I never knew bearing a child could be this exhausting!

Lady Yin leaned against Ao Yifan's embrace, her face flushed.

Ao Yifan smiled as he stroked Lady Yin's belly, saying, "Not bad; we already have our child!"

Ding, the host having Lady Yin, the Yin Shang princess, bear offspring detected her carrying luck, rewarding ten thousand years of cultivation, rewarding the Yin Shang luck effect—concealing heavenly secrets!

Ding, detecting the host's offspring carrying abundant luck, rewarding twenty thousand years of cultivation, rewarding the upgraded treasure Escaping Dragon Pillar, the Myriad Dragon Pillar!

It exploded! It exploded! And it was a huge explosion!

Thirty thousand years of cultivation allowed Ao Yifan, who had just reached mid-stage Celestial Immortal, to instantly breakthrough to peak Celestial Immortal.

Just a little more, and he could reach the Mysterious Immortal level!

You see, Mysterious Immortals are the true mainstay of the entire cosmos; after all, Golden Immortals are rare, and anyone who attains that level is invariably a major power of a region.

Thus, Ao Yifan, who is just one step away from Mysterious Immortal, can now be called a master.

Of course, at this moment Ao Yifan's attention is not on his own cultivation; he is more focused on the other two rewards.

Yin Shang luck, concealing heavenly secrets!

This is absolutely a timely rain for Ao Yifan.

After all, although he has run away, his dragon aura is still obvious to any powerful immortal at a glance.

This is a great hidden danger!

After all, the dragon race is controlled by the Heavenly Court, suppressing the myriad monsters of the sea; if the Heavenly Court learns that a little dragon like him has sneaked out, it will surely launch a encirclement and suppression against him.

But with the Yin Shang luck aiding in concealing heavenly secrets, even a sage would likely find it hard to easily calculate against him.

This way, he can do many things.

As for the other reward, the treasure Myriad Dragon Pillar, according to the system's description, this is an upgraded version of the treasure Escaping Dragon Pillar.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan's expression became slightly strange.

He doesn't know about the Myriad Dragon Pillar, but he knows the Escaping Dragon Pillar well—that was the treasure used by Jin Zha in the later Fengshen Catastrophe.

Good fellow, Lady Yin, are you giving birth to a Jin Zha for me?

Ao Yifan does not believe the system would reward something related to Jin Zha's treasure for no reason.

Moreover, his offspring's cultivation reward is double that of Lady Yin, the Yin Shang princess, showing that it is absolutely destined to be one of the main characters of the future Fengshen Catastrophe.

Thus, its identity is about to be revealed!

Thinking this, Ao Yifan reached out and touched Lady Yin's flat belly.

Don't mess around, I'm exhausted; if you still want to have a child, go find Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai!

She slapped away Ao Yifan's big hand, Lady Yin pulled over her light gauze, turned, and went to sleep.

There's no way; a few hours for a dragon are just a snap of the fingers, but for mortals, that is a very lengthy process.

As for letting Ao Yifan go look for her maids Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, Lady Yin was not testing him.

After all, Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai have grown up with her since childhood, originally being her dowry maids; if Ao Yifan has needs and Lady Yin happens to be unavailable, they would indeed have to serve as fire‑fighters.

This is quite a common, ordinary occurrence for Lady Yin as a Yin Shang princess.

However, regarding Lady Yin's words, Ao Yifan merely gave a faint smile.

He is a decent person, not a truly licentious dragon; without the system, he would absolutely not behave so rudely toward Lady Yin upon their first meeting.

Thus, regarding looking for Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, Ao Yifan just smiled and took no action.

Having you, my lady, is enough for me!

He gently embraced Lady Yin from behind and whispered in her ear.

Although she did not respond, the slight upturn of Lady Yin's mouth shows she is still quite pleased with Ao Yifan's performance.

As for Ao Yifan truly being enough with such nonsense, Lady Yin does not believe it, after all, being pointed at from behind with a spear by him, she can still clearly feel it.

No wonder his father and elder brothers marry so many queens; it turns out they consider women's welfare, for bearing a child is so arduous that with only one woman one will eventually die of exhaustion—looks like, if I get the chance, I should also find him a few more women, otherwise I too will die of fatigue—ugh, so tired!

Thinking this, Lady Yin immediately fell into a deep sleep with a sweet smile.

However, it is quite obvious that this naive princess has produced some wonderful misunderstanding!

……

"My lord, the demon clan has attacked again!"

At Chen Tang Pass, a soldier hurried over.

Hearing that, Li Jing, who was rubbing his head with a bewildered look, flashed a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Organize the troops for defense, everyone work together; the reinforcements from Chaoge will arrive soon, so hold out!"

Saying that, Li Jing drew the long sword at his waist and slashed at a demon clan warrior lunging at him.

"Today, my head feels warm; this icy sea breeze won't give me a headache anymore—I feel I can slay a few more little demons!"

Li Jing thought, his blood boiling as well, making him even more fierce in battle.

At the same time, on the walls of Chen Tang Pass, one general bowed to a nearby, stout-built general.

"Commander-in-chief, Li Jing is truly clueless, insisting on opposing the powerful demon clan when clearly only sacrificing some boys and girls would appease the demon clan's wrath; now Li Jing's actions will surely provoke them, so please order his punishment to stop his foolish behavior!"
