Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

"pet?"

Jiang Yining leaned against Ye Wuhen's chest, feeling the coldness of his body, and sneered inwardly.

Ok.

Who is whose pet is still uncertain.

Her face showed a weak and submissive expression, her eyelids were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes, like two small fans, covered the sharp light in her eyes.

"Thank you... for taking me in, Your Excellency."

"Hmm, that's a good girl." Ye Wuhen seemed quite satisfied with her reaction.

He teased her like a kitten he had just picked up, hooking her chin with his finger before letting go and turning to walk towards the largest beast-drawn carriage.

Ye Wuhen walked barefoot on the ground covered in blood and bits of flesh. The contrast between his snow-white ankles and the bright red bloodstains created a striking visual effect, both eerie and unsettling.

He lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the spacious and comfortable interior, and nodded in satisfaction.

"From today onwards, this car belongs to me."

He announced it as a matter of course, then took a long stride and lay down on it casually, even patting the spot next to him.

"You, come here."

Jiang Yining bit her lip, and under the worried and frightened gazes of everyone in the caravan, she lowered her head and stepped onto the beast-drawn carriage.

"Your Majesty, my child..."

She glanced at Jiang Lei, who was still standing under the car, and Erbao in the cradle.

"Oh, those two little ones." Ye Wuhen glanced at them.

His gaze swept over Erbao, but he didn't find anything special, assuming he was just an ordinary baby.

But when his gaze fell on Jiang Lei, a faint hint of disgust flashed in his bewitching phoenix eyes.

"Such pure sword intent, and such an annoying lightning spiritual root."

He curled his lip: "Just like that ice block Ji Lingxiao, he's repulsive to look at."

Jiang Lei glared back at him without backing down.

Although he was young, he had a very sharp intuition.

He could sense the chaotic and evil aura emanating from the man in red, an aura he was naturally averse to.

More importantly, this man was coveting his mother.

"Throw the small one up, as for the big one..."

Ye Wuhen thought for a moment, then suddenly gave a wicked smile.

"Make him run behind the car. They'll only get food when they reach the Demon Palace."

"No way!" Jiang Yining refused without even thinking.

Sending a child to run around in a beast-drawn cart in a place like the Demon Realm? Isn't that going to kill him?

"Hmm?" Ye Wuhen's eyes narrowed, and a chilling killing intent enveloped the entire carriage.

The air seemed to freeze.

The Jiang family members outside the car found it difficult to even breathe under this murderous aura.

Jiang Yining understood that she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

She took a deep breath, her face contorted with a tearful expression, and grabbed Ye Wuhen's sleeve, shaking it gently.

"Your Excellency...didn't you say you would give me a chance for revenge?"

Her voice softened, carrying a hint of coquetry.

"Da Bao... he's my only remaining thought."

"He was also hurt by that heartless man Ji Lingxiao, and lost his father at a young age... Look how young and pitiful he is..."

As she spoke, she secretly gave Jiang Lei a wink from below the car.

Jiang Lei understood immediately.

He immediately dropped his killer demeanor, lowered his head, and his little shoulders trembled, making him look like a pitiful little mute who had been bullied and dared not speak.

"Pitiful?" Ye Wuhen looked at the two "drama queens," one big and one small, and the murderous aura on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by amusement in his eyes.

He enjoys watching others suffer and struggle.

But it might be nice to change things up once in a while and look at this kind of gentle plea.

"Alright." He waved his hand lazily. "Since you're so good at pleasing me, I'll let him get in the car too."

"but,"

He abruptly changed the subject, grabbed Jiang Yining's chin, and forced her to look at him.

"You must remember, your life, and the life of your children, belong to me."

"You can only live if I grant you life. You can only die if I grant you death."

"Do you understand? My... little pet."

"...Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them.

Under Ye Wuhen's "escort," the convoy resumed its journey.

The direction was no longer the territory of the demon race, but turned towards the deepest part of the Demon Realm—the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.

Over the next few days, Jiang Yining truly experienced what it meant to be "unpredictable".

One second ago, he might have casually rewarded Jiang Yining with a priceless magical artifact because the grapes she peeled for him were very sweet.

The next second, he might be so annoyed by the birds chirping outside the car that he might swing his long whip and turn all the surrounding birds into a bloody mist.

He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in control of everything, of having the power of life and death.

His attitude towards Jiang Yining was also extremely contradictory.

Ye Wuhen would let her sit on his lap, feed him, and stroke her hair and cheeks like he was petting a pet.

But when Jiang Yining accidentally touched the skin on his chest, he jumped back as if he had been burned.

A flicker of disgust flashed in his eyes, and even... a hint of fear?

Jiang Yining keenly grasped this point.

This seemingly invincible demon lord appears to be very resistant to physical contact with people.

This gave her a glimmer of hope while she was maneuvering around the situation.

The Divine Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits told her that Ye Wuhen's "Heart Demon Blood" was hidden in his heart.

That was the source of his cultivation, and also his greatest weakness.

To obtain it, one must get close to him.

The convoy soon arrived at the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons.

Ye Wuhen led them to a strange blood lake.

"I wish to take a bath."

He turned to look at Jiang Yining, whose face had turned pale.

He licked his bright red lips, his eyes full of a mocking smile.

"Come here and help me... undress."
