Chapter 1647: Chapter 1337: Senior Sister, You Don’t Seem Happy?
Upon hearing the system reward, Lu Chen doubted whether he was hallucinating.
After all, he had been in the Tianyan Immortal Domain for so many years, working tirelessly day and night, yet without any result.
He was already prepared for not having any offspring for a thousand years, as Immortals took millennia to nurture a child.
Unexpectedly, Cao Shiyun gave him a great first surprise.
Seeing Lu Chen pause, Cao Shiyun blushed and softly asked, "Junior Brother, do you need to rest for a bit?"
Hearing Cao Shiyun’s voice, Lu Chen snapped back from his surprise and smiled, saying to Cao Shiyun, "Senior Sister, I have good news for you."
Cao Shiyun asked puzzled, "What good news?"
Lu Chen then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "We are going to have a child soon."
Hearing this, Cao Shiyun was stunned.
She immediately used her Immortal Aura to examine her body, finding indeed a small ball wrapped in Immortal Aura existing inside her.
Cao Shiyun was briefly lost and a bit bewildered.
Although she didn’t mind bearing Lu Chen’s child, she felt frightened when it actually happened.
The situation in the Tianyan Immortal Domain was becoming increasingly complex, Lu Chen had many enemies, and the child following them might lead to hard times.
Seeing the dazed expression on Cao Shiyun’s face, Lu Chen asked, "Senior Sister, are you unhappy?"
"Do you not want this child?"
"If that’s the case, I won’t force you."
Cao Shiyun came back to her sense, "No... it’s not that."
"I... I just..."
Cao Shiyun hesitated for a moment but expressed her concerns.
"I’m worried that after the child is born, it will suffer with us, and now with Senior Sister Ye closely watching you, if she finds out I have your child, she might become suspicious."
Ye Chuyao initially sent her to monitor Lu Chen, to see if he misbehaves during his mortal realm training, but she ended up entwined with Lu Chen instead, and now there is a child. Ye Chuyao would inevitably discover she’s been feeding her false information all these years.
Ye Chuyao always had doubts about Lu Chen, and now he’s entangled with the female disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace, maybe her suspicion would deepen.
After all, Lu Chen used to be such a lecherous person.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let her suspect if she will. You and Senior Sister Xiao safeguard my safety day and night. I still don’t have a couple, and you both are so beautiful, and neither of you has a couple, isn’t it quite logical that feelings developed over time?"
"Even so... but..." Cao Shiyun hesitated to speak further.
Lu Chen gently stroked Cao Shiyun’s jade-like cheek, "Senior Sister, don’t worry. Even if Senior Sister Ye suspects my identity, this alone won’t confirm who I am."
"What man doesn’t have a lustful nature? With a fairy as coldly elegant as you, if I didn’t like you, that would be unusual."
Hearing Lu Chen’s words made Cao Shiyun’s cheeks blush with slight warmth, and she replied, "Junior Brother, you’re such a liar. If you truly liked me, when you took away the Saintess of the Mysterious Moon Palace, you should have taken me with you too."
"I’m starting to wonder if you’re worried I’ll report to Senior Sister Ye about you and Junior Sister Xiao, so you pulled me into this mess instead."
Feeling the subtle emotion in the beauty’s tone, Lu Chen laughed, "Senior Sister, you’re joking. Have you ever seen a man who doesn’t like a woman yet spends day and night with her?"
"Because... because..." Cao Shiyun was at a loss for words. What Lu Chen said seemed to make sense.
Though Lu Chen’s actions were because of lust, it also proved he genuinely liked her, even if it was her body he favored, it was still a kind of affection.
Lu Chen then embraced Cao Shiyun’s waist, rolled over letting her lie on his chest, gently patting her jade-like shoulder, he said, "Senior Sister, just relax. I will take responsibility for you."
Hearing this promised assurance from Lu Chen, Cao Shiyun’s turbulent emotions due to the pregnancy calmed a bit.
Lu Chen continued to hold Cao Shiyun quietly, no longer making advances. Since Cao Shiyun was already pregnant, it was time to give her a long break.
Cao Shiyun simply lying quietly on Lu Chen’s broad chest felt very reassuring.
Afterward, neither spoke again, maintaining this intimate state.
Suddenly a thought occurred to Lu Chen, and he mentally inquired the system, "System, what is the effect of the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill?"
Now that the system was more intelligent, Lu Chen didn’t bother to open the system interface; he simply inquired in his mind, and the system would answer.
The system responded, "The Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill is a Heavenly Grade Elixir. After consumption, it greatly increases the probability of Immortals breaking through, and even if the breakthrough fails, the medicine’s efficacy protects the Immortal, preventing backlash from failure. It is usable for anyone below Immortal Venerate."
Hearing the system’s explanation, Lu Chen froze for a moment. Recently, he was pondering where to find an elixir recipe for a Heavenly Grade Breaking Realm Pill.
While the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill wasn’t a Breaking Realm Pill, from the system’s description, it sounded more useful than the Heavenly Grade Breaking Realm Pill.
Plus, since he himself was a Heavenly Grade Alchemist, as long as he found the materials to refine the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill, he could make it himself.
With the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill, his influence would undoubtedly grow rapidly.
While resting in Lu Chen’s embrace, Cao Shiyun suddenly felt him grow vigorous, curiously asking, "Junior Brother, what are you thinking?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just thinking about having Senior Sister bear my child makes me happy. This is my first child since returning to the Tianyan Immortal Domain."
Hearing this, Cao Shiyun pouted without saying anything, just twisting her body slightly with her jade-like arm hugging Lu Chen’s strong waist tighter.
Not long after,
Land of Chaos, White Feather City.
Lu Chen was gazing absent-mindedly at the map in front of him, pondering which direction to expand, now with the so-called "Demon Emperor" attracting attention, those Super Forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain would likely be too preoccupied to bother him. Even if they knew of his return, they probably wouldn’t bother sending anyone to deal with him.
As Lu Chen was lost in thought, Lu Zhengze entered the hall, excitedly saying to Lu Chen, "My Lord, the materials you’ve requested have been sent by King Anyuan."
After obtaining the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill elixir recipe, Lu Chen had Lu Zhengze immediately list the materials for the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill as required cultivation resources, then had Min Guanghua send the list to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing, upon seeing the list, dispatched personnel without hesitation through the Transmission Array to send the cultivation resources listed on it to the Land of Chaos, including the materials needed for refining the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill.
