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

Jiang Yining is not in the mood for playing tricks right now.

The little thing in her dantian had just caused a churning sensation, and she was still feeling nauseous.

If this continues, she might really throw up.

Looking at her pale face, Gu Qinghan's output of true energy from his fingertips softened even more.

"Ning'er, don't be willful. The outside world is full of Protoss. This place is the safest."

Yu Luofeng pulled Jiang Yining even closer to him.

"He's right. This secret passage leads directly to the Xuan Yin Earth Vein, three thousand feet underground in the Ghost Realm. Even if the Star Spirit Clan's High Priest came, he wouldn't be able to find us."

His chin rested on Jiang Yining's head, a gesture that asserted his dominance.

Jiang Yining closed her eyes, resisting the urge to raise her elbow and strike the person behind her.

She is currently pregnant.

Pregnant women should act like pregnant women.

"I can't walk anymore." Jiang Yining's voice softened instantly, carrying a perfectly measured hint of weakness and grievance. "My legs are sore."

Both men froze simultaneously.

Gu Qinghan was the first to react. He released Jiang Yining's wrist, walked around to her side, and squatted down.

His broad back was facing her.

Although his clothes were tattered and he had several gruesome wounds on his back, his posture was perfectly natural.

"Get on, I'll carry you."

Yu Luofeng's face darkened.

How could a dignified Ghost King do such a treacherous thing?

But he noticed that Jiang Yining's gaze lingered on Gu Qinghan's back for a second, as if she was genuinely considering it.

Yu Luofeng's mind went blank for a moment.

He grabbed Gu Qinghan from the ground and threw her aside.

"You're a wounded man, barely able to walk, and you want to carry her? Are you trying to kill my queen and child together?"

Yu Luofeng's tone was extremely harsh.

He didn't give Gu Qinghan a chance to refute, and directly picked up Jiang Yining in his arms.

It's very light.

It was as soft as a cloud without bones.

Jiang Yining exclaimed in surprise and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Warm breath sprayed onto Yu Luofeng's neck.

He tightened his grip on her arms, his body stiffening like a stone.

"you……"

Yu Luofeng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

He didn't look at Gu Qinghan again, picked up Jiang Yining, and strode into the depths of the secret passage.

His steps were steady, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible joy.

Gu Qinghan stood there, his face even more pale than the stones in the secret passage.

He watched Yu Luofeng's retreating figure, his fingers gripping the ice sword cracking from the force.

That sword was his, that woman was his, and the child in her womb was his too!

Right now, that woman is being held in another man's arms!

Gu Qinghan's chest heaved violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He saw Jiang Yining in Yu Luofeng's arms, and she secretly winked at him and mouthed something.

"Medicine pills."

Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment.

He understood instantly.

Yu Luofeng was seriously injured and had to carry someone on her journey, which greatly exhausted her.

However, thanks to the boost from the Reverse Yang Pill, his condition was actually better than his.

Ning'er was reminding him to conserve his strength, as it would be very useful later.

Gu Qinghan's mood inexplicably improved.

He suppressed the rising blood in his throat, took out an ordinary-looking Qi-restoring pill from his storage ring, put it in his mouth, and followed at a leisurely pace.

The secret passage was very long, seemingly without end.

Yu Luofeng carried Jiang Yining for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and his breathing began to become heavy.

Even the strongest physical body of a demigod cannot withstand such continuous depletion.

Moreover, he had fought with Gu Qinghan and was ambushed by the Star Spirit Clan, leaving him injured.

"Why don't you put me down and walk by yourself?" Jiang Yining's voice sounded muffled against his chest.

"Shut up," Yu Luofeng's voice was hoarse. "I can still carry you."

"But you're sweating so much." Jiang Yining poked his shirt at the chest with her finger. "It's soaked through."

Where her fingertips touched, the fabric was already soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her skin.

Even through the fabric, you could feel his burning body temperature and his pounding heartbeat.

Yu Luofeng's body stiffened again.

He felt as if he was holding not a person, but a red-hot branding iron.

It started burning from my arm all the way down to my heart.

"There's a stone chamber up ahead where you can rest for a bit."

Yu Luofeng quickened her pace.

After walking a few dozen more steps, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A stone chamber, roughly ten feet square, came into view.

In the center of the stone chamber is a stone table and four stone stools, and in the corner there is a small pool formed by water dripping from the rock wall.

Yu Luofeng placed Jiang Yining on one of the stone benches, while he leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

Gu Qinghan walked in, glanced at the pool, and frowned slightly.

"The water here has too much yin energy; it's not safe to drink."

He walked up to Jiang Yining, took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, and handed it to her.

"This is a spring of spiritual energy without roots. Drink some to moisten your throat."

Jiang Yining took the jade bottle, uncorked it, and a wave of extremely sweet spiritual energy rushed out.

She took a small sip; the spring water tasted sweet and slid down her throat, relieving some of the heat in her stomach.

"You should have some too." Jiang Yining handed the jade bottle back to Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan was about to reach out to take it.

A hand reached out from the side and snatched the jade bottle away.

Yu Luofeng tilted his head back and drank the remaining half bottle of Rootless Spirit Spring in one gulp.

After he finished drinking, he deliberately waved the empty bottle in front of Gu Qinghan.

"It tastes good. Is there any more?"

Gu Qinghan's face turned completely cold.

He stared at Yu Luofeng and said, word by word, "That's for Ning'er and the child."

"My ghost queen and child, what's wrong with them drinking a sip of my water?" Yu Luofeng casually tossed the jade bottle aside, making a crisp sound.

"you!"

It looked like the two were about to start arguing again.

Jiang Yining suddenly clutched her stomach and let out a painful groan.

"Ouch... my stomach..."

The two men instantly turned all their attention to her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghan knelt down anxiously, wanting to check her pulse.

"Did you get jostled around just now?" Yu Luofeng also came over, her face full of regret and worry.

Jiang Yining leaned against the stone table, her face deathly pale, and a layer of cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

She pointed to her lower abdomen, her voice weak.

"The child...the child seems to be kicking me..."
