Demon Child: Get Ao Run pregnant right from the start!

However, there's always the fear of a "but," which immediately made these people feel uneasy.

"However, it is unreasonable that you have made a mistake and have not been punished at all."

Ao Yifan looked at these people and said, "Here's what we'll do: next time the demon race attacks, you will act as a suicide squad. As long as you can fight among the demons for an hour, I will ask the princess to forgive all your past crimes. What do you think?"

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, these people felt a chill run down their spines.

Fighting the demon race is not child's play; it can really kill people.

Acting as a suicide squad, fighting the demon race for an hour—this is pushing them to the brink of destruction!

“My lord, we…”

A civil official was about to speak, after all, they were not military generals, and asking them to take up arms and fight against the demons was no different from sending them to their deaths.

However, before the man could utter his plea, Ao Yifan waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "What I just said was an order, not a negotiation. You have no right to bargain. If you are unwilling, I can send you to your deaths right now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.

Fighting against the demon race is a matter of life and death, but these people know even better that if they don't agree now, they will face certain death.

"Guards, take these gentlemen away and take good care of them!"

Madam Yin smiled, seemingly quite satisfied with Ao Yifan's handling of the situation.

Seeing his personal guards subdue these people, Ao Yifan looked at Li Jing in the crowd and said, "Hey you..."

"Your humble servant is Li Jing!"

Li Jing bowed, and at that moment, all his dissatisfaction with the prince consort before him vanished without a trace. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Ao Yifan's handling of those people.

He secretly admired him, because if it were him, he would probably only think of killing him with a single sword strike.

Now, sending those guys to act as a suicide squad, facing the demon race's butcher's knife head-on, will be a better way for them to atone for their crimes.

"Yes, Li Jing, the princess is pregnant and needs to rest. Are there any good places to stay in the city?"

Ao Yifan asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately replied, "In response to Your Excellency, the best place to stay in the city should be the General's Mansion."

"Row!"

Ao Yifan nodded and said, "Have someone clean up the General's Mansion. The princess and I will stay there until the demon threat at Chentang Pass is resolved!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will take care of it immediately!"

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, Li Jing was overjoyed.

He was genuinely afraid that the other party would only deal with Tu Feiyuan and his group and then leave immediately.

Now that he heard that the other party would completely resolve the problem of the demon race, he felt relieved.

However, as he agreed, Li Jing couldn't help but steal a glance at Madam Yin, feeling as if he had lost something.

"What? The demons who went to Chentang Pass have all disappeared, and they still haven't brought them back?"

Inside a massive underwater coral cave, a vicious dragon, its body radiating poisonous gas, let out a roar.

As he roared, wisps of poisonous gas spread through the seawater, causing the surrounding demons to tremble with fear.

This demon is none other than the Dragon King of the Evil Sea, whom Chen Tang Pass fears like a tiger!

If Ao Yifan were here, he would immediately recognize that this so-called Dragon King of the Evil Sea was not a dragon at all, but a dragon with impure blood.

Unfortunately, the true dragons are all suppressing the myriad demons of the seabed, while these impure-blooded hybrid dragons are using the name of the dragon race to wreak havoc on the region!

"Your Majesty, this matter is suspicious. Now, with the annual sacrificial day fast approaching, we must be careful!"

A demon resembling an old tortoise offered this advice.

Hearing the old tortoise's words, the Dragon King of the Evil Sea calmed down. Then, he asked, "Where is the mirage?"

As the Dragon King of the Evil Sea finished speaking, a cloud of water mist slowly rose into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure slowly emerged from the mist.

Gazing at the graceful figure amidst the mist, the little demons' eyes revealed a look of infatuation.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from the Dragon King of the Evil Sea, and in an instant, the group of lesser demons who were in a daze instantly woke up.

"Giggle..."

A silvery smile emanated from the graceful figure amidst the mist, but none of the demons dared to look at her now; clearly, they were all terrified by what had just happened.

"Mirage, stop playing around. I need you to go to Chentang Pass to investigate the disappearance of the demon race."

"That's what the Dragon King of the Evil Sea said."

"kindness?"

Upon hearing this, the figure in the mist asked in confusion, "Why go through all this trouble? With the Great King's peak Xuanxian strength, he could easily destroy Chen Tang Pass with just a wave of his hand if he were to take action personally."

"Lord Mirage, things are not as simple as they seem!"

At this moment, the old tortoise spoke up: "This time, not a single one of the little demons that the Great King sent out has returned. I suspect that this matter is related to the demon-catching team, because only they like to kill without mercy!"

"What? The demon-hunting team from Jade Void Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Mirage's expression changed, and it said, "Sending me to such a being is like sending me to my death, isn't it?"

"Mirage, with the illusionary abilities of your Mirage Dragon clan, just be careful, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's what the Dragon King of the Evil Sea said."

"No, that won't do. Although the illusions of my Mirage Dragon clan are powerful, I don't have absolute confidence that I can deceive the Demon-Catching Team when they capture demons from all realms!"

The mirage shook its head.

"Mirage!"

The Dragon King of the Evil Sea's voice grew colder, and one of his claws slowly opened, revealing a seven-colored dragon egg in its claw.

"You don't want your only dragon egg to shatter right before your eyes, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Shenying's expression changed, and she said urgently, "Don't hurt her! I will help you investigate the disappearance of the demon race!"

After saying that, the mirage took a deep look at the seven-colored dragon egg, and then disappeared from the spot as water mist rose around it.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Mirage has already harbored rebellious intentions!"

The old tortoise looked at the spot where the mirage had disappeared and said in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the Evil Sea sneered, "I am naturally aware of this, but as long as her dragon egg remains in my hands, I am confident that I can control her."

As it spoke, its sharp dragon claws slowly caressed the seven-colored dragon egg.

……

"Alas, I never imagined that the people's livelihood in Chentang Pass would deteriorate to this extent!"

Madam Yin flipped through the account book in her hand, and couldn't help but curse, "It's only because that damned general is gone, otherwise, I would have torn him to pieces!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yifan gently pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Alright, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health and it's not good for our child. If we find a problem, we can solve it, right?"

"That's easy for you to say!"

She rolled her eyes at Ao Yifan and said, "Although my princess's mansion has some money bestowed by the king over the years, it is just a drop in the ocean for the entire Chentang Pass. Alas, I really can't bear to see the people of my Great Shang suffer."

Upon hearing this, Ao Yifan smiled and poured her a cup of tea, saying, "Madam, haven't you thought about borrowing money from someone?"

"Borrow money?"

Madam Yin asked in bewilderment, "Chen Tang Pass is now a bottomless pit. Who would lend me money?"

"Hehe, although Chen Tang Pass is in a terrible situation right now, it is backed by the entire East China Sea. Madam can use the East China Sea as collateral and promise that as long as the trouble of the demon race is quelled, the other party can freely collect resources from the East China Sea for ten years. I think there are still people willing to lend money."

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

"This……"

Madam Yin was somewhat tempted, but she still felt that there was something wrong with Ao Yifan's suggestion.

If Madam Yin were a modern person, she would certainly know what a worthless check is.

Ao Yifan put it nicely, using the resources of the East China Sea as collateral to borrow money.

Not to mention that the trouble caused by the demons in the East Sea has not yet been quelled, as for the resources in the East Sea, do you think those things belong to your Chentang Pass?

Isn't that the territory of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?

Using other people's things as collateral and then making it sound like someone else got the better deal—that's just taking advantage of the naivety of people in this era.

"What the prince consort said doesn't seem to be entirely unreasonable!"

After a moment's thought, Madam Yin nodded and said, "Then I'll write a letter to my sister-in-law right away!"

"Royal sister-in-law?"

Ao Yifan was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, it is my brother's queen, Empress Jiang!"

Lady Yin said, “My sister-in-law has been married to my brother for a year, and the tribe closest to Chen Tang Pass is the tribe of the Marquis of Dongbo. My sister-in-law recently returned to her parents’ home to visit her family. I wrote to her, and I think that given our relationship, she will definitely agree to our conditions.”

"Empress Jiang!"

Ao Yifan pondered for a moment and said.

He remembered that Empress Jiang was also a person with great fortune.

Not only was she the Empress of the Shang Dynasty, but after the Investiture of the Gods, she was also bestowed the title of Taiyin Star Lord.

Ao Yifan remembered that long before the Investiture of the Gods, the position of Taiyin Xingjun had already been occupied by someone else.

That's the famous Chang Xi!

Jiang Ziya was powerful in wielding the Investiture of the Gods, but he was absolutely not qualified to forcibly seize the position of the Taiyin Star Lord.

The answer is obvious: the position of the Moon Goddess originally belonged to Queen Jiang.
