After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 127 Pregnant

As the two women's voices drifted from the balcony, Zhang Chen disinfected himself with alcohol, rubbing his forehead as he came to his senses.

This cat is unbelievable! Even after switching back to human form, he's still being allowed to continue washing.

Zhang Chen had a premonition that after this, Bai Nuoyan would probably stop acting altogether and just transform into a catgirl every time.

It's already so white, you might as well not wash it and just eat it directly.

"Ptooey." Zhang Chen spat out the water that had been stuck in his throat and felt a great sense of relief.

I underestimated the cat's pressure; it almost caused him to have fluid buildup in his lungs.

Although the cat's teeth were very white and clean, and didn't look like it had any infectious diseases, it was still bitten and bled.

Disinfecting it would be better.

However, it will probably be very difficult to get a cat to truly let go of its resentment.

Just now, Zhang Chen could sense that Bai Nuoyan was almost bewitched, and was just 0.0001 centimeters away from it.

Just as Zhang Chen felt a sensation like plastic wrap tearing, Bai Nuoyan bit her tongue right in front of him, regaining her senses amidst the two sensations of pain.

Still couldn't do it, Hakimi.

It seems that these unresolved issues, which cannot be resolved in modern times, can only be addressed by returning to the past.

"Whoosh~"

A few pollen grains from the bitter love tree drifted in through the window; they belonged to Xiao Xiaomei. At that moment, the system also sounded a notification that it was possible to go back in time.

The progress is much faster than expected.

The reason is that a lot of pollen had been released from Xixi-chan before. Basically, every time Xixi-chan fainted, one or two pollen grains would come out.

Especially in the later stages when he was physically exhausted, Zhang Chen didn't even need to exert himself. Shen Nianxi would lie there and occasionally get an electric shock, bursting out pollen, which could be described as a pollen production line.

Adding the pollen carried by the Firefly Demon, and the pollen that just exploded from Xiao Shuyao, they quickly accumulated enough.

Before deciding to go back in time, Zhang Chen carefully considered the current state of each of the female demons.

The most stable animals remain the little bird and the roasted fox, while the cats and dogs tend to be a bit restless from time to time. Long Luoyang...

According to Jiang Rou, Long Luoyang has run into some problems, such as the size swap, which is also an unstable factor.

As for Xixi, Zhang Chen actually sent a few geese to follow her, just in case.

Zhang Chen opened his phone again and looked at the message Ye Zhi had sent him. Li Yinuo had indeed been having some difficulties during childbirth these past few days, unlike before.

His thoughts flowed freely like before.

It sounds like prenatal depression.

In that case, let's go back and check on the puppy.

In the northern borderlands, on the River of Oblivion, before the Bridge of Helplessness.

During the day, it is just an ordinary wooden bridge, with an unremarkable river flowing beneath it.

But after midnight, blue will-o'-the-wisps will appear on both sides of the bridge, the area under the bridge will be filled with eerie blue lights, and deep red spider lilies will bloom on both banks.

Flowers like the setting sun, light like a galaxy.

The will-o'-the-wisp dumplings bounced around like flaming jelly.

Shen Nianxi felt that they looked a bit like characters from cartoons she had watched before.

In high school, she often stayed at school at night, feeling lonely and wanting to cry. Zhang Chen would then go back to school for some reason and watch cartoons on the computer in the classroom.

She thought Zhang Chen was childish, but she would watch along with him.

It seems... it's called something like Fruit Warriors, and the jelly in it looks exactly like the little ghost she's seeing now.

Thinking of this, Shen Nianxi couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Back then, when she was watching cartoons with Zhang Chen in the classroom, could she have imagined that this moment would come...?

From deskmate to cream puff, it seems like only three years have passed.

How could she have imagined that Zhang Chen was the philandering Taoist she had always hated and despised?

Although the feeling of becoming a washing machine wasn't too bad, Shen Nianxi still couldn't get over it in her mind.

Who exactly is Zhang Chen? What happened in her past? She has to figure it out for herself.

Yuan You agreed with leaving, because she discovered that after the transformation of Puff, her soul had become much more complete.

In general, she is now essentially Shen Yuanxi, Shen Wuxi, and Shen Nianxi, which accounts for about 80% of her personality.

She and Yuan You are gradually merging... well, it's strange, physically they are still two different species, but metaphysically their synergy is constantly strengthening, they are just short of completely perceiving each other's thoughts.

If Zhang Chen makes cream puffs a few more times, she and Yuan You's thoughts will probably be almost synchronized, yet they can also separate at any time.

"Lord Yuan You? You look a little different today!"

Halfway across the bridge, several small blue jellies emitting will-o'-the-wisps bounced and hopped up in front of her.

They're a bit cuter than the mice in Zhang Chen's house.

Shen Nianxi reached out and touched them. She wasn't burned by the flames; instead, she felt a chilling coldness.

"I'm tired from the long journey, so I'm not used to it yet."

"We all thought you'd never come back!" a rather fat will-o'-the-wisp grinned. "Every time you left, we had to wait a very, very long time before we could see you on the Bridge of Helplessness!"

Shen Nianxi was slightly taken aback, realizing that what the little ghost fire was talking about was probably what she had done in her previous life.

In her first life, she suffered a separation of soul and spirit because she shielded the philandering Taoist from a heavenly tribulation.

The three souls and six spirits separated; one half was burned away and fell into reincarnation, while the other half remained on the Bridge of Helplessness, becoming the master of the underworld.

Sometimes she becomes the master of the underworld, and sometimes Yuan You falls into reincarnation.

The Lord of the Underworld inherited unforgettable memories, while the reincarnated beings struggle in the mortal world.

Then, in the next cycle of reincarnation, in the next heavenly tribulation, they will exchange places and become aware of each other; in reality, they are the same person.

However, it seems that Yuan You was unaware of what unexpected event had occurred in this life, which allowed her, who should have become devoid of human emotions, to have independent consciousness. Although her soul appeared incomplete, it was actually more complete.

Moreover, the Xuan Yin body that has fallen into the cycle of reincarnation should only rely on instinct to hunt down the pure Yang body, but in her case it's the other way around... Well, thinking about it carefully, she is actually also hunting down Zhang Chen's descendants, and on a scale of billions, so this should also be considered as hunting down the pure Yang body, right?

"what?"

Suddenly, a small will-o'-the-wisp stared at Shen Nianxi's stomach, scratched its head, and asked, "What?"

"Lord Yuanyou, when did you eat someone?"

"?"

"No, what I ate was..." Shen Nianxi argued halfway through, but then realized something was off.

"Maybe he's targeting my clone...%#￥@%, so I can feel it."

"?" The will-o'-the-wisps looked at each other, not understanding what Shen Nianxi was talking about.

"Was the adult being bullied?"

"No, it's more like I bullied him." Shen Nianxi followed the will-o'-the-wisp forward. The bridge looked short, but it was actually quite long to walk across.

What's on the other side...? It seems to be a huge palace of books, with countless little will-o'-the-wisps flying around on countless bookshelves, organizing the books.

"What is that?" Shen Nianxi asked subconsciously.

"My lord, have you forgotten? That's where the memories of living beings are stored!" the fattest will-o'-the-wisp said loudly, the flame on its head rising and falling.

"My head is a little dizzy, can you tell me what's wrong?"

"This place is called the Netherworld, also known as the Yellow Springs. When humans and demons die, their remnant souls come here, cross this bridge, and fall into the River of Oblivion, where they can be reincarnated!"

"And what are these books?"

"Each book represents the memory of a living being."

Shen Nianxi paused for a moment, "Why do you want to save it?"

"It didn't exist originally," Ghost Fire Dumpling muttered. "Besides, I didn't exist before. I was a ghost created by the Pure Yang Taoist using pollen from the other shore flower."

It's that philandering Taoist priest again, and it's Zhang Chen again.

"After the Bitter Love Tree was planted, the concept of reincarnation and continuing the predestined relationship arose. However, the memories of reincarnation and continuing the predestined relationship need to be stored, so they were stored here. It was the Pure Yang Daoist who asked us to manage them."

"Do I have any memories here?"

"Lord Yuan You?" The ghost fire dumplings looked at each other in confusion. "Lord Yuan You, have you died again?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your memories are all on the top level. Every time you go out to find the Taoist priest, die, and then come back, we will give you those books to read so that you can find those memories."

Shen Nianxi was stunned.

So, the so-called inheritance of memories is such an old-fashioned method.

After I die, can I really make myself sacrifice for that philandering Taoist priest just by reading those books?

She frowned slightly, then suddenly felt a strange tremor and emptiness in her heart. She stepped forward, lightly leaped up, and grabbed the books on the top floor.

Without exception, they were all named Shen Shiyaoxi.

Count them, 1,700 years, 81 books.

None of them lived past thirty; the youngest even died at the age of five, having shielded Zhang Chen from a heavenly tribulation.

Those who died from being struck by lightning, burned by heavenly fire, or frozen to death... were all written on the cover.

Shen Nianxi couldn't bear to look further; those long-buried memories were right there, weighing a ton.

While hesitating, she took out the two thickest books, one on Shen Yuanxi and the other on Shen Wuxi. After careful consideration, she started reading Shen Wuxi's book first.

The time is a thousand years ago. Nomadic cavalry, leading the demons of the north, marched south into the Central Plains, plunging the world into chaos, with famine and plague raging.

Nomadic cavalry kill people, and northern demons devour them.

Her identity is that of a protector of humanity, loyal to the imperial court, slaying demons and monsters, including the assassination attempt on Zhang Chen...

Shen Nianxi quickly got into the story, and just as she was beginning to understand the memory, she heard a voice asking, "Lord Yuan You, are you really alright?"

When Shen Nianxi came to her senses, a pile of will-o'-the-wisps gathered in front of her, stacked up to half her height, all staring at her intently.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir, I've examined you, and there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Just say it, what can't you say?"

The will-o'-the-wisps discussed it amongst themselves, and finally pushed out the fat dumpling: "Sir, although you died a long time ago, it seems you're pregnant..."

"?"

[A thousand years ago, you were on the verge of enlightenment, trying to decipher the will of Heaven. Your strength was far less than before, so you came to the desert to recuperate.]

The chaos of today is no longer a conflict between humans and demons, but rather the rampant evil deeds committed by the wicked among them.

[Although you only wanted to cultivate, you couldn't bear to see the inhumanity of the chaotic world, so you raised the orphan of the Desert Wolf King, teaching her as many as you could, so that she could be kind to people and not be tainted by the ferocity of demons, hoping that she could one day lead the Northern Border and bring peace.]

Therefore, you must ensure she never entertains the thought of killing.

[But you didn't expect the pursuit of the Xuan Yin body. You were injured, and the wolf demon, in your moment of injury, developed genuine feelings and killed someone for you...]

You flew into a rage.

Your reluctance to kill is not only to cultivate the wolf demon's rationality, but more importantly, it's for your own sake; you want to comprehend...

The way of Heaven dictates that we should minimize acts of killing and maximize acts of kindness, such as upholding justice and raising the destitute daughter of the wolf king...

You vaguely sense that your temperament seems to be influenced by the laws of nature, but you are not at peace. You direct your anger at the wolf demon, whipping her for the first time, almost killing her...

She offered no resistance, letting you vent your anger, only sobbing and begging for your forgiveness for her recklessness...

A feeling of pity arose within you, your conscience ached, and you began to question the will of Heaven. You wondered why that cruel Heaven wanted to kill you...

[The wolf demon's complete obedience to you allowed you to release your pent-up frustrations, and you did not forgive her so easily.]

After that, you stopped being gentle with her, and you realized that understanding the Dao would definitely affect you, but it was too late to turn back.

You decide to travel alone, banishing the now useless wolf demon. You still insist on pursuing the Great Dao, you want righteousness, you want peace between humans and demons, you want to become an immortal... You want many supreme things, but you cannot tolerate that wolf demon by your side.

You're somewhat afraid of the wolf demon's eyes; they're so moving, so pitiful, so helpless, yet so utterly loyal. This might influence your pursuit of the irreversible Heavenly Dao...

You repeatedly drove her away, initially just scolding and yelling at her, but she wouldn't listen and still insisted on staying by your side, even if it meant enduring hardships...

Then, you began to subdue her with violence. Every time she tried to find you by following her scent, you had to use force to subdue her, you wolf demon.

Soon she was covered in wounds, her spine broken countless times by you. She had an extremely strong self-healing ability and would recover quickly, but this would be excruciatingly painful. You had no choice; only this intense pain could stop that tireless wolf demon.

Then, within a year in the desert, you injured her over a hundred times, her cries of agony echoing across the wasteland...

Having no other choice, you led her to a secluded paradise in the wilderness, where she settled down.

You tied her to the thatched hut and stayed with her for years. During those years, you protected Peach Blossom Spring from evil spirits many times and were revered by the people.

[And she was kept tied up like that for years, truly believing you wouldn't leave, truly believing you had forgiven her.]

[But one day, you pretend to be seriously injured and fake your death in the house. Before you fake your death, she cuddles with you and you sing for her. You want the people in Peach Blossom Spring to mistakenly believe that she failed to take care of you in time, which is why you died. You want to make her heartbroken and feel that she is the one who killed you...]

From now on, you can get rid of this clingy dog.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes, his chest heaving; he had arrived a thousand years ago.

Although it was strange to curse himself, he still wanted to call himself a beast.

"Waaah~"

Beneath him, a beautiful, dark purple female wolf was licking his palm.

A blood-stained iron chain encircled his neck.
