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

Ao Yifan stroked the heroic face of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a smile playing on his lips.

To be honest, Ao Yifan was still somewhat wary of this Venus.

After all, don't be fooled by the old man's frail and kind appearance. Don't forget that Venus is the star of war and destruction!

The fact that this old man was able to assume this divine position shows just how capable he is.

According to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, even she was not confident of victory against Venus.

Not to mention, this Venus is a confidant of the Jade Emperor.

Who knows what treasures the other party obtained from the Jade Emperor?

Otherwise, without any ability, how could one dare to frequently travel to the mortal realm in place of the Jade Emperor?

Therefore, Ao Yifan doesn't want to confront Taibai Jinxing head-on, so he can only use this method to trick him away.

"We've managed to fool Taibai for now, but we can't keep this a secret for long. That old man is quite clever!"

Raising her head, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke.

"I know!"

Ao Yifan nodded and said, "However, we are just lacking a little time now. When the time is right, even if the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West come, they will not be able to do anything to me."

After giving Ao Yifan a deep look, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "It's good that you have confidence, but don't forget your promise to help me get rid of Cihang Daoist."

"Don't worry, I'm trying to find a solution."

As Ao Yifan spoke, he pulled the squatting Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to her feet and then walked towards...

……

"Father, look, Chen Tang Pass is just ahead!"

The mighty army, like a long dragon, marched towards Chentang Pass.

At the front of the army, a valiant young female general said to the middle-aged general beside her, "Father, I observe that the prosperity of Chentang Pass is not much worse than that of Chaoge City, and far surpasses that of our Sanshan Pass. I know that Her Highness the Princess has governed this place very well!"

After taking a deep look at the imposing pass before him, Deng Jiugong sneered, "The more prosperous Chen Tang Pass becomes, the more precarious Princess Su Zhi's situation becomes!"

"what?"

The beautiful female general asked in confusion, "Father, isn't it a good thing that you've done a good job governing? What's the problem?"

"Chan'er, you are still young and there are many things you don't understand. You just need to know that this time we are here, we will follow the orders of the Prime Minister and not express any personal opinions!"

Deng Jiugong said.

"Oh, Father, I understand!"

The beautiful female general nodded as if she understood, but the doubts in her heart remained unresolved.

Deng Jiugong glanced at his daughter and sighed.

To be honest, if he could, he really wouldn't want to take on this situation.

However, this was a decree personally bestowed by the king, and Deng Jiugong had no way to refuse.

The arrival of the Black Bird at Chentang Pass signifies something that everyone knows very well.

Even if Su knew the princess had no such intention, it would inevitably arouse the king's suspicion.

There's no way around it; that's the mentality of those in power. Even blood relatives have lines that can't be crossed!

However, this matter is very difficult to handle. If we are not careful, we will incur the king's wrath, since we know that the princess is the king's own sister.

Therefore, it is important to strike a balance in how to do things and to what extent.

Only a veteran official like Shang Rong, who served three emperors, was qualified to handle this matter.

Like himself, no matter how high-ranking he was, if he were to be drawn into this conflict, he could easily be torn to pieces.

This is why, despite having actual control over an army of 20,000, Deng Jiugong remained very low-key, always consulting Shang Rong beforehand on everything and never daring to be careless.

Suddenly, a group of people came galloping in.

With a wave of her hand, the beautiful female general caused the army to quickly change formation and assume a defensive posture.

"What a well-trained army!"

Li Jing, who arrived on horseback, immediately recognized the brilliance of the military formation before him and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Immediately, Li Jing reined in his horse, dismounted, and led his personal guards to the front of the army.

"Li Jing, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Chentang Pass, greets Minister Shang and Commander-in-Chief Deng!"

The people in Chentang Pass already knew the identity of the visitors.

After all, with Queen Jiang in power, how could any move in Chaoge City be kept secret from this side?

"Li Jing, I've heard of you!"

Just then, the curtains of Shang Rong's carriage were pulled open, and Shang Rong, whose hair and beard were already completely white, looked Li Jing up and down before nodding and saying, "You are very good!"

"Thank you for your praise, Prime Minister Shang. I am unworthy of such praise. Her Highness is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to personally greet you. Therefore, I have been specially dispatched to go out of the city to greet Prime Minister Shang."

Li Jing spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, which immediately made Shang Rong and Deng Jiugong look at him with new respect.

"Yes, Your Highness, I am grateful that you still remember me, Lord Deng. Please arrange for the army to be stationed outside the city. The rest of you, please come into the city with me to pay your respects to Your Highness."

Shang Rong said.

"Yes!"

Deng Jiugong cupped his hands in greeting, then said to the beautiful female general beside him, "Chan'er, you shall accompany Prime Minister Shang into the city and make sure he is safe and sound!"

"Father, don't worry, with me here, Prime Minister Shang will definitely be fine!"

The beautiful female general spoke cheerfully, clearly demonstrating considerable confidence in her abilities.

Li Jing couldn't help but take another look at the beautiful female general, and his heart stirred.

This was because he suddenly saw a trace of the former princess in the other person.

"This Chentang Pass is indeed extraordinary!"

Looking at the endless stream of fishing boats and merchant ships outside the pass, Shang Rong couldn't help but nod, expressing his approval of Princess Suzhi's governance of Chentang Pass.

What pleased Shang Rong even more was the constant smiles of happiness on the faces of the city's inhabitants—a sight unlike anything seen even in Chaoge City.

"However, the more this is the case, the worse it is for Princess Suzhi!"

Shang Rong's heart sank, and the words that the Marquis of Xibo had spoken to her before she set off flashed through her mind.

"According to the divination of the Marquis of Xibo, the descent of the Black Bird signifies the impending chaos in the Shang Dynasty. In recent years, chaos has indeed been gradually emerging in all parts of our Great Shang. Could it really be related to this Princess Suzhi?"

With a heavy heart, Shang Rong entered the General's Mansion.

Seeing Lady Yin, who was heavily pregnant and being supported by her husband, Shang Rong bowed and said, "Your subject Shang Rong greets Your Highness the Princess!"

At the same time, the beautiful female general beside her also bowed to Lady Yin.

"Deng Chanyu, daughter of Deng Jiugong, pays respects to Your Highness the Princess!"

"Hehe, Prime Minister Shang, there's no need for such formality. You are a veteran of three reigns. When my father was alive, he often taught us to listen to your teachings. I still remember those words to this day!"

Madam Yin said with a smile.

Then, he glanced at Deng Chanyu beside him and said, "I have often heard that Deng Jiugong's daughter is as brave and valiant as a man. Seeing her today, I can confirm that she lives up to her reputation. If we have the chance, let's have a friendly spar."

Upon hearing this, Deng Chanyu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this princess would be so forthright, immediately asking to spar with her.

Upon hearing Madam Yin's words, Deng Chanyu, who preferred military uniforms to feminine dresses, immediately felt a surge of goodwill towards the princess.

However, remembering her father's instructions, Deng Chanyu reluctantly said, "Your Highness, I am terrified. How could I dare to lay a hand on you? Your noble body is too precious to be harmed..."

"Hehe, little sister, you're very brave. When I was conquering the demon race, you were probably still crying in your mother's arms. It's too early to hurt me!"

Madam Yin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Deng Chanyu immediately felt an urge to spar with this princess and show her her skills.

"cough cough"

However, before Deng Chanyu could speak, the Prime Minister Shang coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, this old minister has come here to understand one matter. I would like to ask Your Highness to enlighten this old minister."

"Prime Minister, you want to ask about the Black Bird's descent to Chentang Pass, right?"

Lady Yin had already prepared for this.

The next moment, Madam Yin said, "Mysterious Maiden, please come out and meet me!"

As Madam Yin finished speaking, a flash of azure light appeared, and then a female war goddess clad in armor appeared before everyone.

"What a beautiful female war goddess! Xuan Nu? Could it be that one?"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Deng Chanyu's eyes lit up.

After all, if it really is that person, then he would be her idol.

It should be noted that the other party was the greatest female war goddess in the world who assisted the Yellow Emperor in winning the Battle of Julu, and was also the person that Deng Chanyu had always regarded as her goal.

Compared to the fervor in Deng Chanyu's eyes, Shang Rong's brows were deeply furrowed.

"Is this the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Shang Rong asked.

"Indeed, it is I!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke in a clear, cold voice.

Compared to his calm demeanor when facing Ao Yifan and Madam Yin, he naturally looked down on ordinary people.

"I see!"

A look of realization dawned on Shang Rong's face. "It seems that all of this was a misunderstanding. This black bird is the same as that black bird!"

"Prime Minister, what are you saying? I don't quite understand."

Deng Chanyu looked at Shang Rong with a puzzled expression and asked.
