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

Chu Anyan thoughtfully fiddled with the abacus, his gaze sweeping over the pile of spirit fruits: "Third-tier Vermilion Fruit, fifth-tier Purple Gold Vine... These beasts are quite wealthy."

'

"Write this down. In the future, Fifth Sister's bathwater can be diluted a thousand times and sold to these monsters. Maybe we can make a business out of it."

Jiang Yining: "..."

She looked down at the two newborn children in her arms.

Si Bao Jiang Jingzhi remained quiet and still, as if all the noise and commotion outside had nothing to do with him.

And the Five Treasures...

"Let's call it Ginger Candy." Jiang Yining stretched out her finger and gently tapped the little guy's nose. "It's incredibly sweet, and incredibly sticky."

"Ginger candy...what a great name!"

Having just showered and changed into a flashy red outfit, Ye Wuhen teleported back and immediately offered flattery: "From now on, our Desolate Abyss will have two precious gems!"

……

A terrifying beast tide, capable of annihilating any sect, thus came to an end in an extremely dramatic way.

Although many buildings in the desolate abyss were damaged, miraculously, only minor injuries were reported among the personnel, with no one dying.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Floating Cloud Realm.

Everyone assumed that the mysterious and unpredictable Lord of the Desolate Abyss had used some earth-shattering trump card, or that it was a backup plan left behind by the Confucian Sage, the Sword Master, and others.

But no one knew that it was just a newborn baby yawning.

Instead of clarifying the situation, Jiang Yining embarked on a new round of frenzied infrastructure construction.

"Here, raise the city wall three zhang higher! Upgrade the defensive formation to withstand a single attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Jiang Yining had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and was frighteningly energetic.

She didn't take care of herself during her postpartum period; instead, she was like a tireless spinning top, relentlessly exploiting every able-bodied person around her.

Even the ginger candy, still in its swaddling clothes, was ruthlessly confiscated by her.

She sleeps in the main hall every day, and her alluring aura can increase everyone's work efficiency by 200% without any complaints.

……

In Qingqiu, the beast tide had just been driven back.

Bai Ze's bandages were still seeping blood, and half of his body was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, yet he insisted on climbing down from the jade bed.

The nine tails, which were usually shiny and bright, now hung limply behind them, sweeping the ground listlessly.

"Don't stop me... I need to find Ningning..."

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot: "I'm going to the Abyss..."

"Go to hell!"

The elder was so angry that his beard trembled wildly. He slammed his peach wood staff into his own demon emperor's forehead without any politeness, knocking him back onto the bed.

"You've damaged your very essence; I'm afraid you'll be devoured by the monsters along the way before you even reach the Desolate Abyss."

"Besides, Your Majesty yourself said you didn't have a child with that woman... how could you possibly have one?"

"I'm afraid that's just an excuse they deliberately spread to lure you back."

Bai Ze hesitated, wanting to speak but unable to reveal Jiang Yining's secret of her special physique.

He's just not very good at lying.

After pinning Bai Ze to death within the protective barrier, the Grand Elder, his face dark, selected twenty elite guards and charged straight towards the Desolate Abyss with murderous intent.

At a time when Qingqiu was already preoccupied with his own problems, that woman was still desperately trying to cause trouble.

We need to take advantage of this lull in the beast tide to give her a warning.

Before leaving, the Third Elder ran over and said, "Brother, let me go to the Desolate Abyss this time."

The Grand Elder snorted, "You think I know what you're thinking just by the way you wag your tail?"

Three days later, outside the gates of Desolate Abyss City, the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and a new smell of gunpowder had been added.

The old elder of Qingqiu had a long face, longer than a donkey's, and his peach wood staff pounded the ground with a loud thud.

Although the two rows of fox clan elites behind them hadn't yet shown their claws, their accusatory attitude was palpable even to a blind man.

"Jiang Yining! Stop hiding in there pretending to be dead!"

The Grand Elder's booming voice shook the still-unfinished city walls, sending dust and debris flying: "I'm telling you this now! Don't think you can trick His Majesty into coming back to be your laborers by making up some nonsense about having a baby!"

"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for spreading such a rumor about the Qingqiu royal bloodline?"

The old man got more and more carried away with his cursing, spitting everywhere as he vented all the anger he had suffered in Qingqiu over the past few days.

"Today, I will clean house for His Majesty and expose your witchcraft! If you know what's good for you, get out of my way, or else..."

squeak-

The heavy iron gate was casually pushed open a crack.

There were no massive armies, and he didn't see Jiang Yining, whom he hated so much.

There was only one man wearing a dark red robe, whose hair was not styled in a bun and was casually draped over his shoulders.

She exuded a lazy vibe, as if she had just crawled out of some comfortable haven.

Ye Wuhen was shaking a rattle drum in his hand, not even lifting his eyelids, only busy teasing the swaddled baby wrapped up like a dumpling in his arms.

"Where did this old dog come from, barking like that?"

Ye Wuhen picked at his ear, his tone chilling: "We just slaughtered that bunch of brainless monsters, and now another group is coming to deliver food to the Desolate Abyss?"

"Night Without a Trace!"

The Grand Elder was so angry his beard trembled wildly. Pointing his finger at his nose, he cursed, "A dignified Demon Lord, actually serving as a gatekeeper for that woman! Have you no shame?!"

Ye Wuhen stopped what he was doing.

He slowly lifted his eyelids, his pupils devoid of emotion, and glanced at the Grand Elder with a flat, indifferent look, yet it sent a chill down the spine of this old fox who had lived for thousands of years.

"Old man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Ye Wuhen chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Since you've come here asking for a beating, it would be a shame if I didn't grant your wish."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently pulled open a corner of the swaddling clothes.

"Tangtang, wake up, it's time to get back to work."

The little dumpling in the swaddling clothes seemed extremely unwilling to be disturbed from its peaceful sleep. It whimpered and twisted a couple of times, and then stretched out a pink little fist to wave in protest.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of snow-white exploded.

Not just one.

There are a total of nine.

Nine fluffy, large, and gleaming white fox tails, like epiphyllum flowers suddenly blooming, sprang out of the swaddling clothes one after another, stretching freely in the sunlight.

Each single hair is so beautiful it's almost eerie.

The elder's swear word, which was about to come out, got stuck in his throat, making him roll his eyes.

The peach wood cane fell to the ground with a thud, rolled twice, and got covered in dust.

The little dumpling had snuggled in Ye Wuhen's arms for a while before slowly turning its head.

It was a delicately sculpted face, now furrowing its brows in a sleepy frown.

A pair of golden, vertical pupils were half-open and half-closed as she stared at the dumbfounded elder, her toothless little mouth agape.

"ha--"

She let out a cute little yawn.
