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

All the foxes were driven away by Bai Ze.

Jiang Yining said a few words to comfort them, then sent the two men and the child out to do whatever they were doing.

He returned to the hall, entered the innermost quiet room, and closed the door.

With a wave of his hand, he took out the rare and precious materials that Bai Ze had sent him.

Jiang Yining sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes.

Begin to absorb the spiritual energy of these treasures.

Sensing this immense energy, the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within the dantian excitedly unfurled its branches and leaves.

The spiritual energy transformed into visible streams of light, surging wildly into Jiang Yining's body.

The Divine Tree of Myriad Spirits quickly purifies and refines these mixed energies.

A portion was used to repair Jiang Yining's meridians, which were damaged due to the forced removal of demonic blood.

The other part was delivered to the newly formed third "fruit".

The seed, nurtured by Ye Wuhen's heart's blood and the Heavenly Demon Acacia Flower, began to develop at an astonishing speed after being nourished by this pure energy.

It quickly coalesced into shape, and you could even see a tiny outline curled up inside.

A powerful and domineering life force emanated from Jiang Yining's lower abdomen.

Although the pulse was fleeting, it carried a demonic aura.

Ji Lingxiao, who was meditating with his eyes closed in the outer hall, trembled slightly before opening his eyes.

He suddenly stood up, his icy blue eyes gazing into the quiet room.

This aura... demonic energy?!

Could it be Ye Wuhen who has arrived?

Just as Ji Lingxiao was about to go in, the door to the quiet room opened.

Jiang Yining came out, and after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, she was radiant and her skin was as smooth as jade.

However, the presence of a demonic fetus between his brows added an inexplicable and eerie quality.

As soon as she looked up, she met Ji Lingxiao's probing gaze.

"You're pregnant?"

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat.

They had completely forgotten that in front of these powerful figures, even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy would be exposed.

At that moment, her brain was working at its maximum.

Jiang Yining trembled slightly, but instead of answering directly, she seemed to be stung by the words, and her eyes quickly reddened.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ji Lingxiao asked again, his tone even more somber than before: "Whose is it?"

Jiang Yining's face turned deathly pale at a visible speed, and her once bright and lively peach blossom eyes instantly became misty.

As if those words had drained all her strength, she staggered back a step and grabbed the door frame for support.

That look made it seem like he was suffering an unspeakable pain.

Tears streamed down Jiang Yining's face at that moment. She seemed unable to hold back any longer, her voice filled with humiliation: "It's... Ye Wuhen..."

Those tearful, peach-blossom eyes looked at Ji Lingxiao: "To protect my family... I was..."

She couldn't continue speaking, covered her face with her hands, and let out a suppressed sob.

This appearance seemed to confirm Ji Lingxiao's worst suspicion.

His fingers, gripping the sword, turned white from the force.

Ye Wuhen, that devil actually... dared to humiliate her like this!

Could it be because of him?

In recent years, the Lingxiao Sword Sect has intensified its efforts to eliminate demons.

This led to frequent battles between him and Ye Wuhen.

This made him angrier and more embarrassed than any sword wound.

Ji Lingxiao stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something, but his throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, the palace doors were pushed open.

"Ningning, I picked the freshest ones for you..."

Bai Ze walked in with a smile on his face, holding a plate of crystal-clear spiritual fruits.

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that the atmosphere inside the hall was as cold as the Arctic ice plains.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Ze's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward.

"Ningning, who bullied you?!"

There wasn't a single tear on Jiang Yining's face beneath her sleeves.

Helpless, she could only pinch her thigh hard: "I... Xiaobai... Waaah."

Jiang Yining repeated the story again, albeit intermittently.

"Snap!"

The white jade plate slipped from Bai Ze's hand and shattered on the ground, scattering precious spiritual fruits all over the floor.

A demonic aura emanated from him.

Those pure golden eyes were instantly stained with blood.

"Night! Without! Trace!"

He roared out the name, each word distinct and forceful, and the entire palace trembled violently under the force of his enraged demonic aura.

"I'll kill him right now! I'll tear him to pieces and grind his bones to ashes!"

Bai Ze was about to rush out of the main hall.

"Don't go!"

Jiang Yining rushed over and hugged his waist tightly.

"Xiaobai, calm down!"

"calm?!"

Bai Ze turned around, a storm brewing in his crimson eyes.

"How can you expect me to stay calm after he treated you like that! If I don't tear him to pieces today, I'm not worthy of being the Demon King!"

Ji Lingxiao also recovered from his initial rage.

"You are not necessarily his match."

"Shut up!"

Bai Ze roared at him, "If you weren't so incompetent, Ningning wouldn't have suffered such injustice!"

These words were a blatant insult to the Sword Master.

Ji Lingxiao could not refute it; it was indeed his incompetence.

Jiang Yining knew she had to stop Bai Ze at this moment. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at him: "Xiao Bai, listen to me! You can't go!"

"My people are about to reach the Desolate Abyss, which borders the Demon Realm. I don't want to antagonize the Demon Realm too much right now."

"You can protect me, but you can't protect my people all the time!"

Jiang Yining stroked the fox's tail, her eyes filled with worry: "I don't want anything to happen to you either."

The demonic aura that was about to erupt from Bai Ze subsided.

Looking down at the woman in his arms, tears streaming down her face, all the murderous intent in his heart turned into endless heartache.

"Okay... I won't go... I'll do whatever you say."

He slowly raised his hand and pulled her tightly into his arms: "I will find another reason and kill him at the right time to avenge you."

Bai Ze snorted coldly and glanced at Ji Lingxiao.

"From now on, I will protect you. Stay away from those incompetent people."

"Humans cannot accept any hybrid race, but the demon race is different."

Bai Ze raised his head arrogantly: "Even if your child is a half-human, half-demon, in Qingqiu, no one will dare to bully him as long as I give the order."

Jiang Yining hummed in agreement, snuggling close to the handsome man. The little fox had such a great figure.

We finally fooled them.

Night Without Trace, you'll have to take the blame for this.

Seeing that the two were clinging to each other, Ji Lingxiao couldn't bring himself to pull them apart.

It can only stand still and produce air conditioning.

The atmosphere inside the hall remained so suffocating that it was hard to breathe.

Two top men, one suppressing his anger and the other barely managing to contain his murderous intent, are both stuck in a stalemate because of a common "enemy".

But just then, a clear child's voice broke the silence.

Jiang Lei walked to Jiang Yining's side and gently tugged at the hem of her clothes.

The little guy raised his head, his eyes, which resembled Ji Lingxiao's, filled with a hint of confusion.

"Mom, that strange uncle from before..."
