Chapter 323: Chapter 277: Hehe, My Lord! (Requesting monthly ticket)
The twilight glow cast its farewell as the sun’s shadow inclined westward, lengthening slowly through the window’s silhouette.
After a meal, An Ge took her time to finish, and as the sun had set, only the western hills were adorned with a rim of gold.
"Hisss... Ah..."
"It’s so hot!"
With a slight exhale, An Ge’s face was as pale and radiant as jade, flushed with a wave of crimson, her beautiful eyes half-closed as if drunk, lips slightly parted, breathing out a misty essence.
The rosy glow escaping from her pores made her seem akin to a fairy untouched by the mortal world, shimmering with breathtaking beauty.
Her lake-blue eyes, shimmering with moisture, gazed at the smiling Chen Yuan opposite her.
"You... couldn’t possibly..."
Her tone held a trace of annoyance, but the languid, intoxicating sound of it was even more provocative.
Chen Yuan blinked, somewhat dumbfounded. It seemed that the ingredients he had just added were too potent, causing An Ge to have a misconception.
For the sake of nourishing her body and laying a foundation for their unborn child, Chen Yuan had combined valuable spiritual materials with demon flesh, and infused it with the Essence Qi from the Dragon Qi Mother Tree. Although it wasn’t Dragon Meat and Phoenix Marrow, with Chen Yuan’s resources, such a nutritional supplement was rare in the outside world.
"What are you thinking about? Give me your hand!"
Chen Yuan chuckled and raised his hand.
An Ge stretched out her fair hand, her face blushing beautifully. Chen Yuan rested two fingers on her sleek wrist, and a streak of gold surged from her wrist, quickly spreading up her arm, illuminating her Zhou Tian.
After one or two breaths, Chen Yuan gripped her wrist with a grasp and stood up.
"Come, to the bed."
An Ge narrowed her lake-blue eyes upon hearing this.
"The Essence Qi within you is surging; let me help you smooth it out."
Without further ado, Chen Yuan picked her up, his arm curled through her soft, boneless waist, and respectfully placed her on the bed.
Then he climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and placed both hands on the beauty’s back. The Golden Core True Qi, like twin dragons emerging from the sea, roared into An Ge’s body, subduing the tumultuous True Qi within.
After half a cup of tea’s time, Chen Yuan’s consciousness arrived at the Dantian within An Ge’s body.
There, a flesh-colored water sphere the size of an apple contained a small jujube-sized entity, curled up like a little seahorse, with facial features already taking shape. Amidst the inner chaos, a faint pulsing beat was heard, rhythmically thumping.
That was the fetal heartbeat!
A strange sensation connected to his spirit surged to the top of his skull, sending tingles throughout his body.
At this moment, the gold in Chen Yuan’s hands transformed into a rich emerald light, pouring into An Ge’s body, converging at her Dantian. The copious Dragon Energy, under Chen Yuan’s potent will, tightly enveloped the apple-sized water sphere.
Emerald Dragon Energy continuously flowed from Chen Yuan’s hands, becoming more compressed.
About two hours later, the Dragon Energy reached its peak compression, volatile and unsteady. At that moment, Chen Yuan’s imposing third eye on his forehead snapped open.
A beam of Magic Eye Golden Light as thick as a finger shot forth, heading straight for An Ge’s Dantian, winding above the Dantian, upon the enveloped flesh sphere, commencing the Sealing.
After roughly half a cup of tea’s time, Chen Yuan’s third eye on his forehead slowly closed, the golden light extinguished, and the great task was accomplished.
Chen Yuan had built the first stage of the Tao Foundation for his yet-to-be-born child.
The Dragon Qi Mother Tree, a Heavenly Treasure dreamed of by Martial Arts Practitioners, holds immense vitality and boundless mysteries.
Perhaps it could bestow upon his child a perfect Tao Foundation!
This was the hope of a father-to-be.
Chen Yuan’s consciousness lingered on the emerald light sphere, his heart filled with indescribable feelings. The connection of bloodlines made him yearn more for this world and filled him with an even grander ambition.
After a long moment, his consciousness returned to his physical body, and he slowly opened his eyes, which sparkled with a keen light, as he withdrew his hands.
By now, night had fallen, and the stars and moon adorned the outside, with the bright moonlight streaming through the window, casting a silver layer upon everything.
In the dimness before the bed, under the moonlight, the curvaceous silhouette in front exhaled a long breath followed by the crisp sound of wind chimes, her voice carrying a soft maternal warmth.
"I seem to feel this little one is very happy. What is that?"
"A Luck Spirit Root! It can stabilize the Grotto Heaven and create a Blessed Land. It’s known as a Heavenly Treasure," Chen Yuan patiently explained. "Years ago, the Ten Thousand Mountains suppressed the energy of Shu with the Luck Spirit Root. Now with Demons breaking through barriers, the Luck is reassembling. This object is its manifestation; this piece of heaven and earth is undergoing changes, and great chaos will ensue soon. Currently, it’s only superficial."
"That’s why Jingguan City is not a place to stay for long. Now that I’ve laid the Tao Foundation for this child, I will send you and the child away. Otherwise, staying here would make me uneasy."
He added another sentence, seemingly to reassure her.
"I will secretly arrange for someone to protect you both."
"What about you...?" In the darkness, the woman’s voice rippled slightly.
She asked, showing that this woman cared.
In Jingguan City, she had learned of the cruelty of the Demon Battlefield and felt the murky undercurrents within Jingguan City.
She wasn’t just a vase. Having led her people from the Western Regions to seek refuge and take root in Tianxiong Pass, leading a large group of people, she endured hardships beyond what most can understand. She had a vague awareness of the situation Chen Yuan faced.
"I will stand guard here, amassing strength, to carve out a path for you and the child, as well as for those willing to follow me," Chen Yuan’s voice was calm, yet carried an authoritative power.
The curve-laden figure opposite remained silent.
Beneath the moonlight, a pair of arms bent and the draped green gauze fell, revealing a patch of soft snowy white.
Next, the bed curtains fell, blocking out the moonlight.
In the darkness, a voice quivering lightly sounded.
"General!"
.............
The third watch of the night, with the moon high in the sky.
Sixty miles north of Jingguan City.
Two streaks of flowing light cut through the night sky, finally coming to a stop on a hill.
As the flowing light gathered, the figures of Chen Yuan and An Ge appeared.
Chen Yuan’s eyes, sparkling with golden light, swept across the surroundings, from the heavens to the earth, finding nothing unusual. Finally, his golden light faded as he gazed at the woman before him.
"Let’s part here."
"Mm!" The woman’s face still flushed, her body a bit unsteady, her voice carrying a raspy quality.
Chen Yuan then flicked his sleeve, unleashing a black aura with a whoosh, landing on the ground about ten feet in front of him.
With a "thump" came a muffled sound.
An astonishing Demonic Qi rapidly revived, with the immense presence of a Tao Fruit Realm.
Following closely, a pair of orangutan-green eyes opened amidst the demon qi, flashing a fiercely intimidating light.
An Ge’s delicate face showed a hint of change.
But then, those orangutan-green eyes displayed a humanized fear, and a slick-furred, dark, elongated, large dog emerged from the black qi.
It was about ten feet long, with erect ears, a slender body shaped like a stream, filled with powerful Demonic Qi, but its tail spun ceaselessly like a whirlwind.
"Hehe, my Lord!"
The dog spoke in human language, chuckling twice with an eerie laugh, yet those orangutan-green pupils, paired with cautiously raised brows, held a bootlicking nuance.
Chen Yuan frowned slightly at the sight of this somewhat "outstanding" Heavenly Dog, a creature he had captured on his way back from Weiyuan Pass to Chuanzhong Pass, along with around thirteen or fourteen other Heavenly Pass Demons, intending to "train" them as mounts, as well as to bolster his own side’s strength.
On his return journey from Chuanzhong Pass to Jingguan City, with some free time on his hands, he subjected them to brutal torture and upgraded his Contracting Demon Technique, successfully subjugating seven Heavenly Pass Demons. The rest, unsuccessful in submission, were slain by Chen Yuan.
This was one of them, a Heavenly Dog from the Ten Evils, with Tao Fruit Cultivation.
And the only Tao Fruit Demon to submit!
When this creature was initially tortured, it cursed Chen Yuan loudly, and when Chen Yuan wanted to kill it, it immediately put on a different face, sniveling and pleading for mercy, expressing submission.
Chen Yuan had killed many demons, encountered various ferocious and fierce demons, and had also subdued demons both big and small. This one was truly of the finest quality.
Just like... a slick old hand!
"Stop laughing like that in the future, it’s creepy," Chen Yuan said with a frown.
The black Heavenly Dog quickly raised a paw, covering its bared teeth, while its eyeballs rotated round and round.
At that moment, Chen Yuan turned his head to An Ge and said, "The journey is long, let this Heavenly Dog take you. It will protect you. Should this creature disobey, just recite..."
He then transmitted a message.
Passing her a Spell.
An Ge didn’t expect Chen Yuan to assign a Tao Fruit Demon to protect her and had her reservations, but knowing that Chen Yuan would never let danger come near her, she nodded her head.
Following that, Chen Yuan flicked his sleeve, and piles of bottles and jars flew out, as well as boxes exuding various spiritual light and treasure energy, landing on the ground.
"This is Demon Blood Essence!"
"These are spiritual materials."
"Enough for your breakthrough to Tao Fruit."
Then he turned back to the Heavenly Dog, "Protect her well."
"Yes, my Lord!"
The dog’s eyes shifted, and then it took a big gulp to sweep up the boxes on the ground and gulp them down.
Afterward, it sprawled its front paws forward and crouched down.
An Ge looked at Chen Yuan, her hand involuntarily touching her lower abdomen.
"Let’s go!" Chen Yuan nodded to An Ge.
An Ge leaped up, stepping onto the Heavenly Dog’s back.
"Take care."
At this moment, the Heavenly Dog stood up straight; with a sign from Chen Yuan’s gaze, it howled and then took flight, stepping into the void and shooting towards the north in the night.
Amidst the whistling of the wind, An Ge looked back to see that tall and erect figure, growing farther and farther away.
