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

Ji Lingxiao gathered a sharp sword aura at his fingertips, almost ready to throw this ignorant beast off the bed.

Just then, a soft murmur broke the silence that had stopped him in his tracks.

"Mother...Father, Father..."

Jiang Lei, who was fast asleep, turned over and reached out with his little hands, his childish voice muffled.

But it struck Ji Lingxiao's Dao heart like a thunderbolt.

He froze instantly.

The wisp of sword energy that was about to leave the bowstring at his fingertips dissipated silently.

The pent-up killing intent deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon.

Daddy?

The word seemed to possess some strange magic, making him stiffen and forget to breathe.

He looked at the little guy on the bed, who was connected to him by blood. The little face that looked so much like his own was wrinkling and relaxing in his sleep. A soft spot in his heart was hit hard.

Jiang Yining was awakened by the noise, yawned widely, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She glanced at Ji Lingxiao, who was frozen by the window, his expression shifting between wanting to laugh and then looking extremely awkward, and then at the fluffy fox in her arms.

She sat up, holding the little fox who was still pretending to be asleep, like carrying a hand warmer, and dragged Ji Lingxiao by the arm to the bedside.

"What are you doing?" Ji Lingxiao felt uncomfortable and tried to break free from her hand.

"Don't move."

Without saying a word, Jiang Yining pushed him onto the bed.

Ji Lingxiao was still recovering from serious injuries and had little strength. With that push, she fell straight down next to Jiang Lei.

The bed frame made a slight creaking sound.

Ji Lingxiao subconsciously held his breath, afraid of waking the child who had just called him "Daddy".

Jiang Yining lay down as well, burying her face contentedly in the fox fur.

"For a person to live, eating comes first, sleeping comes second."

"Sleep with your child properly."

As she spoke, she adjusted to a comfortable position, and within a few breaths, her breathing became even and long, and she actually fell asleep.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Bai Ze: "..."

Ji Lingxiao: "..."

An extremely eerie scene unfolded on the bed.

Jiang Yining slept on the outer side, holding a fox in her arms.

On the right is Ji Lingxiao, and further to the right is her son Jiang Lei.

Four "people" squeezed onto one bed.

Bai Ze quietly raised his head, his golden fox eyes looking towards the other side of the bed.

Ji Lingxiao slowly raised his hand, his movements extremely slow, but his goal was clear: to pull it out of this warm embrace and throw it to the ends of the earth.

Not to be outdone, Bai Ze opened its mouth to bite.

"I want to eat..."

"I want to eat chicken drumsticks..."

Jiang Lei smacked his lips and mumbled in his sleep again.

The movements of the man and the fox stopped simultaneously.

So, one stiffly raised his hand, and the other opened his mouth warily, and they remained locked in this stalemate.

Time passed by, second by second.

Half an hour later.

Bai Ze's head stiffened, and he resignedly withdrew it, continuing to serve as a pillow.

Ji Lingxiao withdrew his hand, silently pulled his arm back, and turned his back to hug his son.

The next morning.

Inside Bai Ze's sleeping quarters, the Second Elder searched back and forth three times.

His Majesty has always loved to sleep in late, yet he's not in his room this early.

We didn't even see a single fox fur.

The second elder secretly probed with his divine sense, and the next second, he was so angry that he almost ascended to heaven on the spot.

His Majesty's presence... could be felt in that woman's room!

At that moment, the Grand Elder arrived, leaning on his cane: "Where is His Majesty?"

The second elder looked as if the sky had fallen, pounding his chest in anguish: "It's over! Eldest brother! His Majesty... he offered himself up to that woman last night!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the elder could barely hold his cane, and he was heartbroken, repeatedly beating his chest.

"My Emperor, I have protected your purity for a thousand years, how could you be so foolish as to give it away so easily!"

The two old foxes hugged and cried for a while.

"etc."

The Grand Elder suddenly stopped what he was doing: "Not just any woman can conceive His Majesty's child."

"The higher the cultivation level and the purer the bloodline of a demon, the more difficult it is to produce offspring!"

The Second Elder also came to his senses: "That's right! We can't protect His Majesty's innocence, but we must guard the last line of defense! We absolutely cannot let that scheming woman become pregnant with His Majesty's child!"

The Grand Elder looked worried: "But His Majesty has legs. What if he wants to be fed? If he eats too much, he might actually get pregnant one day."

"Look at the little boy next to that woman; he looks like he's the offspring of the Sword Master Lingxiao. This shows that this woman's constitution is extraordinary!"

"What should we do!"

The second elder was so anxious he kept scratching his beard:

"It's a pity the third brother was sent out, so there's no one to offer advice..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh yeah, I've got it!"

The elder grabbed him excitedly: "What good idea do you have?!"

The second elder leaned closer and whispered, "Our Emperor is both stupid and foolish; he doesn't even know how to charm a woman."

"But what do we foxes have the most of? Beautiful foxes, of course!"

The Grand Elder exclaimed in delight, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

"As long as we make that woman fall for another fox, given His Majesty's pride, he certainly won't compete with his own kind for her! Then he'll naturally lose interest in her!"

"Brilliant!"

The two hit it off immediately and hurriedly joined hands to hold a mobilization meeting with the most handsome, charming, and seductive male foxes in the clan.

Meanwhile, the person who started all of this was sleeping soundly in bed.

Jiang Lei was the first to wake up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a magnified handsome face right in front of him.

The little guy paused for a moment, then recognized that this was his "dad".

He awkwardly moved further in, not wanting to be next to Ji Lingxiao.

The little guy straightened up and saw his mother sleeping soundly, hugging a snow-white fox, with the fox's tail covering her body.

Why are so many people crammed into one bed? The little guy's head was full of questions.

Jiang Lei's commotion woke Ji Lingxiao.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his son looking at him with an inquisitive gaze.

Ji Lingxiao subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to throw the annoying fox away.

As if Bai Ze had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly jumped off the bed from Jiang Yining's arms a second before he could make a move, landing lightly on the ground.

The commotion finally woke Jiang Yining up.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and stretched, completely oblivious to any problems with what had happened last night.

Good morning, everyone.

She greeted them as if nothing had happened.

Looking at her composed demeanor, and then at Bai Ze's innocent face beside her, Ji Lingxiao felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow or release it.

Jiang Yining got up habitually, wanting to go out and get some fresh air.

She yawned and casually opened the palace door.

The next second, she was fully awake.

Two rows of men stood in neat rows outside the palace gate.

The row on the left consisted of men with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, upright postures, and uniform blue outfits. They had a cold demeanor and sharp eyes.

The row on the right consisted of women with almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, dressed in gorgeous silk robes of various colors, smiling and with seductive eyes.

Two rows of handsome men, each with a distinct style, but all exceptionally good-looking.

When they saw Jiang Yining come out, they all bowed and greeted her in unison.

"Greetings, Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Yining: "..."

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was still half asleep.

What's going on here?
