Chapter 87

Zhou dynasty, Yin Shang, the Human Emperor becomes the Son of Heaven!

The various powerful beings divided the human race's fortune; this is already a settled outcome.

However, part of the newly formed Son of Heaven's fortune was unexpectedly devoured, directly causing Ji Chang to suffer backlash.

This result was immediately noticed by several Sages and the Lord of Heaven.

But after deducing, there was no result.

Because these powerful beings discovered that the Yin Shang fortune not only did not decrease but increased, their interference grew stronger.

"Something happened in the lower realm!"

Within the vast celestial palace, the Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes full of stars.

"Ta..."

He was about to summon the Golden Star, but then suddenly realized that the other party had already gone to the lower realm to investigate the Heavenly Stars Great Formation; the Heavenly Emperor's expression turned slightly grim.

When needed, one finds few helpers; the exalted Lord of Heaven actually has no one to use.

"Could it be that we must go to the Jade Pond to borrow people?"

In his mind, the dignified image of the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond involuntarily appeared; the Heavenly Emperor shook his head.

Even if he ignored this matter, he still did not want to meet the other party.

There was no way; before the other party, he always bowed his head, leaving the face of this Lord of Heaven nowhere to put.

"This matter, several Sages should have also noticed; they will surely handle it properly!"

He consoled himself inwardly, and the Heavenly Sovereign closed his eyes again.

……

"Hmph, even at this point he doesn't come to see this palace; it looks like he's resolved never to see this palace again!"

A cold snort, and the Golden Mother of Jade Pond's aura swept outward, instantly stirring the entire Jade Pond.

Below, the fairy maidens fell silent like chilled cicadas.

Simply because they knew exactly why the Golden Mother was angry.

At this moment, if they dared to say even a word more, they would likely be punished.

"Since he doesn't want to bother, why should this palace worry about it?"

The Golden Mother of Jade Pond waved her hand, signaling the seven fairy maidens beneath her to continue singing and dancing.

A variable!

The emperor's fate mysteriously dissipated, drawing the attention of powerful beings, but it had little impact on the overall situation.

So, the several sages merely glanced askance, then continued with what they were doing.

After all, what these sages cared about was only the final result; they paid no attention to the minor details in between.

……

Shang Rong looked at the two people before him, and a silence fell.

He only remembered that yesterday he had set aside all his burdens, drunk freely with Elder Jiu Gong, then woke up from a nap to find the sky had fallen!

"Father, my love for the prince consort is genuine!"

Shang Qingjun gazed at her father, her eyes full of determination.

"......"

Shang Rong looked at his daughter; although he had always known that his daughter was opinionated about everything.

But is this idea perhaps a bit too extreme?

"Minister Shang, as you see, Qingjun is already my woman, and she is pregnant with your grandson; you, old sir, ought to be happy!"

Ao Yifan spoke bluntly.

"???"

Shang Rong felt a black line on his head.

Not only Shang Rong, but even Shang Qingjun herself stared at Ao Yifan with a shocked expression.

She had indeed said that this matter needed Ao Yifan to take responsibility for handling it.

"But using a child as an excuse—isn't that going too far? And just one night—could it really happen that quickly?"

Noticing Shang Qingjun's gaze, Ao Yifan smiled and said, "Qingjun, as a cultivator, I naturally know best whether you are pregnant."

Speaking, Ao Yifan extended his right hand and lightly placed it on Shang Qingjun's abdomen.

Beside them, Shang Rong watched, his eyelids twitching.

After all, his pure and lovely little cabbage had just been pushed aside; as an old father, it would be strange if he could stay calm.

However, Shang Rong's expression soon became even less composed.

As Ao Yifan's palm glowed with spiritual light, both Shang Qingjun and Shang Rong clearly felt a faint pulse of life within Shang Qingjun's belly.

"Ah, there really is a child!"

Shang Qingjun couldn't help but exclaim.

Beside them, Shang Rong's eyes also showed a hint of joy.

"No matter what, this little life is his grandson!"

Suddenly, Shang Rong noticed Ao Yifan's gaze; the joy on his face faded, and he once again assumed a solemn expression.

"Minister Shang, you have seen as well—Qingjun already bears my child; hand her over to me, and I promise to take good care of her."

Ao Yifan said.

Frowning, Shang Rong said, "But Qingjun has been engaged since childhood to Ji Fa, son of the Marquis of Xibo; how am I to explain this to the Marquis of Xibo?"

"Heh, the Marquis of Xibo?"

With a cold chuckle, Ao Yifan immediately sent a mental transmission.

The next moment, Shang Rong's face changed drastically; he looked at Ao Yifan, shocked, and said, "Do you know that if these words of yours get out, the court officials will all impeach you?"

"Minister Shang, I have always believed that only you in the court are truly loyal to the great Shang, which is why I am telling you this."

Ao Yifan said in a deep voice: "As for whether my words are true, you can verify them yourself; I'm sure, with your discerning eye for people, you can easily tell the truth from falsehood of what I say."

After giving Ao Yifan a deep look, Shang Rong said, "I will handle this matter myself; as for Qingjun, alas..."

He let out a long sigh; Shang Rong was also helpless.

His own daughter is pregnant with Ao Yifan's child—what else could he say?

This time, Shang Rong returned to Morning Song City; he not only had to truthfully report the misunderstanding concerning the Great King and the Black Bird, but also had to do his best to mediate for Chen Tang Pass, dispelling the Great King's suspicions of Princess Suzhi.

After all, his own daughter has become family with Princess Suzhi.

As the saying goes, 'when one suffers, all suffer; when one prospers, all prosper.' Shang Rong also did not want the Great King, because of Princess Suzhi's matter, to implicate his own daughter and her unborn child.

"Never mind, you two be well; I'll handle the Morning Song City side."

He waved his hand, Shang Rong glanced at his daughter, then left.

"Father!"

Shang Qing called out 'Father,' then leaned into Ao Yifan's embrace.

Shang Rong's face showed a relieved smile, and then he stepped out.

At least, his daughter's happiness is enough; moreover, he even has a little grandson—this life is already sufficient!

……

"Bang!"

When Ao Yifan brought Shang Qingjun and her maid back to the Commandant's Residence, he happened to see a person flung outward.

"What's going on here?"

Ao Yifan looked at Deng Chanyu, who had fallen to the ground in a sorry state, then turned to the Fairy Yunhua, who was basking in the sun nearby, and asked.

After glancing at Shang Qingjun beside Ao Yifan, Fairy Yunhua walked over, hooked her arm around his, and said, "Husband, Deng Chanyu has always remembered what Princess Suzhi said earlier; seeing that she was about to leave, she wanted to spar with Princess Suzhi, but as it turns out, she was outmatched and got lectured."

"What a beautiful older sister!"

Watching Fairy Yunhua cling to Ao Yifan's arm, Shang Qingjun couldn't help but think to herself.

"Like that!"

Ao Yifan looked at Lady Yin, who was holding a long sword, with a helpless expression and said, "Madam, didn't I say that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't engage in weapons? Why won't you listen?"
