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

"Whose is it?"

Chu Jinglan's voice instantly turned cold, and his righteous aura was tinged with killing intent.

How long has he been gone?

This woman has done it again...

"Is it that hypocrite Ji Lingxiao?"

Chu Jinglan strode forward, wanting to reach out and investigate.

"Don't move!"

Jiang Lei held the Heaven-Asking Sword horizontally, blocking Chu Jinglan's path.

"Don't touch my mother!"

Chu Jinglan didn't take the child's obstruction seriously at all, and casually pushed Jiang Lei away with a gentle burst of spiritual energy.

His hand finally touched Jiang Yining's wrist.

The pulse faintly revealed an aura that he found utterly repulsive.

Overbearing demonic energy!

"Who is it?"

Chu Jinglan's voice seemed to drift out from the deepest hell.

Those once gentle eyes were now bloodshot, staring intently at Jiang Yining.

"Which demonic cultivator is it?!"

Jiang Yining's eyelids twitched, and she could only channel her Oscar-winning acting skills once again.

A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek and fell to the ground.

That tear was like a bucket of cold water poured onto a powder keg already brimming with tension.

"How dare you ask?"

Jiang Yining flung Chu Jinglan's hand away, took two steps back, and leaned against Bai Ze.

She slowly raised her head, her shimmering peach blossom eyes filled with humiliation, pain, and struggle.

"Who tried to forcibly control me in the first place?"

"If it weren't for finding a way to survive, to escape from you..."

Jiang Yining choked back a sob, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling.

"I encountered Ye Wuhen in the Demon Realm."

"he……"

Jiang Yining bit her lip, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

"He forced me..."

The rest is self-explanatory; leaving things unsaid is more impactful than stating them directly.

"boom!"

Chu Jinglan's righteous aura instantly went berserk.

"Night, without, trace!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

Chu Jinglan turned to leave, looking like he was going to fight to the death in the Demon Realm.

Jiang Yining quickly stopped him, "What's the use of you going now? The baby's already in your belly..."

Chu Jinglan stopped in his tracks.

The thought of that scene, the thought of that woman, somewhere he didn't know, being with another man...

Chu Jinglan's nameless jealousy and tyrannical possessiveness instantly overwhelmed his reason.

Looking at that strong yet fragile woman, the anger in my heart turned into endless guilt.

It was his fault for not protecting her.

If he had found her sooner, instead of leaving her alone out there...

"born!"

Chu Jinglan turned around abruptly and said through gritted teeth.

"I will raise it!"

"Don't even mention one demon seed, I could afford to raise ten!"

"From today onwards, this child's surname is Chu!"

Situ Kong, who was standing next to him, was so startled that he dropped his melon seeds.

Is this the legendary... unexpected fatherhood?

And people are even scrambling to become them?

Did the regent's brain get kicked by a tortoise?

Situ Kong outwardly appeared compassionate, muttering to himself, "Alas, the Demon Lord's actions have always been eccentric, pitiful, lamentable..."

In reality, his fingers, hidden in his sleeve, were dancing wildly across a specially made communication jade slip, moving so fast they almost left afterimages.

[Urgent! Headline! The biggest romance drama of the year in the cultivation world!]

[Second Male Lead: Regent Chu Jinglan (confirmed to have a son with him).]

[Male Character 3: Bai Ze, the Demon King of Qingqiu (ambiguous relationship, suspected to be his current lover).]

[Male Character 4: Night Without Trace, Supreme Demon Lord (New! Father of the unborn child confirmed!)]

[And he willingly becomes a father, intending to include the Demon Lord's son in the royal family genealogy!]

[Immediately encrypt this message and sell it in tiers! Top-tier intelligence, starting bid: high-grade spirit stones! Hurry! While it's hot!]

Situ Kong smiled with satisfaction.

This secret can restore half of his health!

Ji Lingxiao, oh Ji Lingxiao, so your head is covered in a green meadow! No wonder you're like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately!

Just as Situ Kong was feeling quite pleased with himself...

A sudden change has occurred!

Jiang Yining's stomach suddenly jerked violently.

boom--!

The black shockwave exploded out in a ring shape.

Caught off guard, Chu Jinglan, Bai Ze, and Situ Kong were forced back three steps by the shockwave!

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yining groaned, her whole body feeling as if her bones had been removed, and she collapsed softly to the ground.

"mother!"

"Ningning!"

"Yining!"

Several figures rushed over at the same time.

Chu Jinglan, who was closest, grabbed Jiang Yining by the waist.

A dense, almost tangible black demonic energy surged wildly from Jiang Yining's lower abdomen.

It carries an aura of destruction and tyranny!

The little one inside seemed to sense the presence of these powerful figures outside and, stimulated, began to jump around in his mother's belly.

"It hurts so much..."

Jiang Yining was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, her fingernails digging deep into Chu Jinglan's arm.

It felt like there was a hand inside her stomach trying to churn her internal organs to pieces.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!"

Chu Jinglan acted decisively, bracing Jiang Yining's back with one hand.

Righteousness and integrity!

That is the most righteous force in the world, specifically designed to subdue all evil spirits.

Golden light continuously flowed into Jiang Yining's body.

"Me too!"

Bai Ze was not to be outdone, and he activated his demonic power.

Pure nine-colored divine light, carrying endless healing power, covered Jiang Yining's lower abdomen.

But the next second.

"ah--!"

Jiang Yining coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Stop! Stop right now!"

Situ Kong shouted from the side, "Are you saving her or killing her?!"

Chu Jinglan and Bai Ze were so frightened that they immediately stopped, their faces turning pale.

Within Jiang Yining's body, the demonic energy was not suppressed; instead, it became even more violent, like an enraged beast.

Chu Jinglan's righteous spirit is extremely yang and strong, and when it encounters demonic energy, it is like water and fire that cannot coexist.

Although Bai Ze's demonic power was gentle, it was a foreign energy and could not soothe the fetus that possessed the bloodline of the Demon Lord.

"How could this happen?"

Chu Jinglan looked at Jiang Yining, who was covered in blood. He, who was usually calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was now shaking.

"This child...is rejecting all external forces."

Jiang Lei was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong?"

Chu Anyan was also terrified and lay down next to Jiang Yining, his little hands trying to touch his mother's belly, but were repelled by the demonic energy.

"Bad! The baby inside is bad!"

Chu Anyan cried out, "Don't bully Mother!"

Jiang Yining was in so much pain that she was delirious.

She felt like she was about to split open.

[Ningning! How could this happen? I... I'll protect your heart first.]

The unborn little rascal is so domineering.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

Situ Kong pushed aside Bai Ze, who was blocking his way, and walked a few steps to Jiang Yining's side.

He extended a finger and placed it on Jiang Yining's pulse.

A moment later, Situ Kong stood up with a solemn expression.

"This child is a born demon, the legendary Chaos Demon Body."

"Your attempts to suppress it with spiritual and demonic power will only backfire and incite its ferocity."

"What should we do then?"

Bai Ze scratched his head in frustration: "Are we just going to watch Ningning die in pain like this?"

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Situ Kong turned around, his unseen eyes sweeping over the two men present.

"To appease this demonic fetus, we must guide and nourish it with the purest demonic energy."

Chu Jinglan's face turned ashen: "You mean...?"

"That's right."

Situ Kong nodded: "We must find the child's father."

"Night Without a Trace".

The air froze again.

Looking for Ye Wuhen?

Let that devil come to rescue Jiang Yining? That's practically inviting a wolf into the house!

Moreover, if Ye Wuhen knew that Jiang Yining was pregnant with his child, who knows what crazy things he might do.

They might even capture Jiang Yining and take her back to the Demon Realm to keep her as their own!

"No!"

Chu Jinglan flatly refused: "If that madman comes, Yi Ning will only be in greater danger!"

"So you're just going to watch her die?"

Situ Kong coldly retorted, "If this demonic fetus continues to cause such trouble, Patriarch Jiang will eventually explode and die."

"That would result in two deaths, one for the baby and one for the child."
