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

Jiang Yining knew that she couldn't avoid this question.

None of the three people present were fools.

A conventional explanation would only make them think she was lying.

The secret of the Myriad Spirit Tree is her greatest trump card, and it must never be revealed.

No one can guarantee that it won't be extracted using some kind of magic.

The continuous birth of children is a huge loophole that will have to be addressed sooner or later.

Therefore, the only way to get through this ordeal is with a half-truth and a half-lie.

Jiang Yining pinched her inner thigh hard.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

The mist was thick and hazy, like the thin fog that was about to dissipate in the early morning, fragile and indistinct.

Her body went limp, and she stumbled back two steps, crashing into Ji Lingxiao's arms.

Two lines of tears streamed down her beautiful, delicate face, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain, utterly pitiful.

Do you think I wanted this?

Jiang Yining choked back tears, her voice trembling, "If given a choice, who would want to provoke a ruthless killer like you?"

Ye Wuhen raised an eyebrow, withdrew his hand, and watched her act with an air of leisure, arms crossed. "Oh? Keep making things up."

Jiang Yining sniffed: "Sword Master, don't you find it strange?"

She pointed to three-year-old Jiang Lei, who was staring at Ye Wuhen warily beside her.

"This child is only a few months old, why does he look like he's three or four years old?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingxiao's icy blue eyes flickered slightly.

indeed.

That night in the Cold Abyss was only a few months ago.

But this child... although his bone age is still young, his physical development and the degree of awakening of his intelligence are completely contrary to common sense.

"Why?" Ji Lingxiao asked sparingly.

"Because of my constitution."

Jiang Yining bit her lip, a look of unspeakable shame and indignation appearing on her face.

"I don't know why, but that day with you... I immediately got pregnant."

"Moreover... the baby in the womb will be like a bottomless pit, frantically consuming the mother's energy."

"I almost lost my life when this child was in my belly, and it was a great difficulty that I was able to give birth to him."

"I thought the nightmare was over."

"Who knows..."

Jiang Yining sobbed for a while, then said, "After being forced by Chu Jinglan, I got pregnant again."

"If the energy supply is insufficient, the child will turn on the mother and drain me dry."

"To survive, and to avoid being drained dry by the baby in my womb, I have no choice but to search everywhere for high-energy rare and precious herbs."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingxiao's anger flared: "Chu Jinglan forced you? Damn it, I should have killed him first!"

"Thank you so much, sir! You'll definitely help me get revenge next time!"

Jiang Yining nestled sadly into his arms.

She raised her head and looked at Ye Wuhen with resolute eyes.

"I've heard that the Demon Lord's heart's blood contains boundless magical power and has the miraculous effect of changing one's constitution."

"I just want to live, and I don't want this annoying condition."

"So, Demon Lord, please allow me to borrow your blood!"

These words were spoken with such emotion, almost tearful, yet logically coherent.

Even Jiang Yining herself almost believed it.

Ji Lingxiao felt a tightness in his chest when he saw her pale face.

So that's how it is. No wonder she risked her life to infiltrate the Demon Realm.

All of this was for the sake of survival?

"absurd."

Ye Wuhen sneered, about to expose him.

Beside him, the Demon Emperor Bai Ze stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yining with disbelief, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

"Could you be the legendary 'Body of Ten Thousand Spirits'?"

Jiang Yining exclaimed, "A myriad spirits conceived?"

Bai Ze is a real savior; he even helped her make things perfect.

"Oh my God!"

Bai Ze clasped his hands together and exclaimed in sincere praise, "This is no curse! It is clearly a blessing from Heaven!"

Jiang Yining: "?"

Ji Lingxiao: "..."

Night Without Trace: "..."

Bai Ze completely ignored the eerie atmosphere around him.

He rushed to Jiang Yining in a few steps, his beautiful face filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"My benefactor, you are unaware of the truth."

"The higher our cultivation level and the stronger our bloodline, the more difficult it is for our race to reproduce."

"Especially our Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, it might not produce a cub for hundreds of years."

"I'm so worried!"

As Bai Ze spoke, he reached out to touch Jiang Yining's stomach, but Ji Lingxiao blocked his hand with a sword sheath.

He didn't seem to care, his eyes still shining: "Benefactor, since you want to change your constitution, does that mean you don't want to have children?"

"No! That's such a waste!"

"How about this?"

Bai Ze blinked his big eyes, his face full of sincerity: "Can I reserve one?"

"I want to have a fox baby."

"Name your terms! You can do whatever you want in this entire Hundred Thousand Mountains region!"

"By the way, can I choose the gender? I want a daughter, the soft and cuddly kind."

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

Jiang Yining's lips twitched violently.

Looking at the demon emperor in front of her, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

This thought process... isn't it a bit too unusual?

Big brother.

We were talking about a matter of life and death.

Are you talking to me about having a baby? And you're even making a reservation?

Are you treating me like a vending machine instead of a human being?

"Cough cough."

Jiang Yining coughed awkwardly twice, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"Um... Xiaobai, that's not the point."

She turned her head and looked at Ye Wuhen again, adopting a posture of being ready to die.

"Demon Lord."

"Now that you've heard it, this demonic blood is my lifeline."

"and……"

Jiang Yining paused for a moment: "My body has adapted to the demonic blood and hasn't exploded."

"This shows that it really has the potential to change my physical condition."

"Could I... borrow it for a little longer?"

"Once my health improves, I'll definitely pay you back with interest!"

borrow?

Is it the kind of loan that's never repaid?

Ye Wuhen was so angry he laughed.

He has lived for a thousand years and has seen shameless people, but he has never seen anyone as shameless as this.

You stole his lifeblood, and you expect him to just let it go like that?

But looking at Jiang Yining's self-righteous demeanor, a crazy idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Change your constitution? No, no, no."

Ye Wuhen stroked his chin, a wicked smile curving his lips.

Why change it?

Jiang Yining was taken aback: "Huh?"

"I think this physique is excellent."

"Do you know why the cultivation world is so boring?"

Ye Wuhen pointed at Ji Lingxiao: "Because those old codgers are all afraid of death. Once they have cultivation, they hide in their caves like cowards, and haven't come out to fight for hundreds of years."

"I can't even find someone to fight if I want to."

"Look."

Ye Wuhen became more and more excited as he spoke, his scarlet eyes flashing with a warlike light.

"If you gave each of them ten or eight children..."

"With a weakness and offspring, they have no choice but to come out and compete for resources."

"At that time, the entire cultivation world will be in complete chaos."

Ye Wuhen licked his lips, his expression gradually becoming distorted and fanatical.

"I can capture their children one by one and force them to make a move."

"Wouldn't it be great to kill him to our hearts' content?!"

Jiang Yining: "..."

She was wrong.

All she knew was that Ye Wuhen was a lunatic.

I never expected him to be so creatively crazy.

In order to find someone to fight, they actually encouraged her to build a harem and have children?

What kind of creature could come up with this kind of logic?

"No!"

Ji Lingxiao and Bai Ze shouted it out almost in unison.

Ji Lingxiao's face turned ashen.

Are you kidding me?

His woman had children with other men? Ten or eight of them?

Hearing such cuckolding words, how could I possibly allow it!

Bai Ze: "My benefactor is mine!"

"If we're going to have children, they can only be foxes!"

"You perverted bastard, dream on!"

Bai Ze was enraged. His demonic power surged, and his golden eyes lost all innocence, replaced only by the majesty and coldness of a demon emperor.

Nine enormous tails suddenly spread out behind him, and nine-colored divine light, like a tsunami, swept towards Ye Wuhen.

"Want to fight?"

Ye Wuhen was not alarmed but rather delighted.

He flicked the blood whip in his hand, producing a crisp cracking sound.

"Well done!"

"Then return my blood!"

Before he could finish speaking...

He stopped talking nonsense, and the demonic energy surged everywhere. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fought against Bai Ze.

boom--!!

A terrifying shockwave emanated from the two individuals and spread wildly outwards.

The nine-colored divine light clashed repeatedly with the raging sea of ​​blood, and each clash caused the space to tremble.

The boulders on the Gobi Desert instantly turned into dust.

Ji Lingxiao carried Jiang Lei with one hand and protected Jiang Yining with the other, supporting a shaky sword aura to stabilize himself in the gale.

"Chance!"

Jiang Yining's eyes lit up.

The best course of action is to run away while these two monsters are fighting!

She was about to take out the teleportation talisman.

Sudden.

A cold hand, without warning, pierced through Ji Lingxiao's sword energy and grabbed her wrist.

"Trying to run away?"

Ye Wuhen's eerie face appeared beside her at some point.

He was clearly exchanging blows with Bai Ze.

Yet he was still able to create a blood shadow clone to capture her.

"What belongs to me, no one can take away."

Ye Wuhen sneered and suddenly tightened his grip on his fingertips.

"Blood Drawing Technique, end!"

An extremely powerful suction force followed Jiang Yining's meridians and rushed straight to her dantian.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yining let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
