I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

That question, every word seemed to have been pulled from the deepest, coldest depths of ice, carrying a chill capable of freezing the soul.

The entire backyard of the Prince of Wei's mansion fell into a deathly silence.

The air froze, and everything fell silent.

Zhao Chen'an felt an unprecedentedly terrifying killing intent envelop him from head to toe, filling even the gaps in his bones with ice shards.

It’s over.

That was the only thought in his mind.

However, Xiao Chuchu, who was at the center of the storm, did not sense the killing intent at all.

She was even a little puzzled as to why her master's reaction was so strong.

She blinked her innocent big eyes and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

Xiao Chuchu's face was filled with the pure joy of becoming a mother.

"Yes, Master!"

She nodded emphatically, her tone full of pride and anticipation.

"You're going to be the grandmaster! Aren't you excited?"

boom!

This statement is no less damaging than pouring boiling oil into a raging fire.

Happy?

I'll kick your grandma's leg!

The terrifying aura emanating from Mo Yuqing just moments ago has now transformed into a tangible storm of killing intent!

Click!

On the stone table in the pavilion, an exquisite tea set instantly turned to dust.

The hard bluestone slabs on the ground cracked inch by inch around her, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly!

That terrifying pressure from the half-step Immortal Platform level was unleashed without any restraint, sweeping across the entire backyard!

Liu Ruoshuang, Li Qingluan, and Wulanxue groaned, feeling as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on them.

Breathing became incredibly difficult, forcing him to use all his cultivation to resist.

"A fairy!"

Zhao Daoting let out a low shout, and the golden dragon transformation energy surged out again, but it was several times more powerful than before.

He stepped forward, blocking Zhao Chen'an and his daughters-in-law. The golden dragon energy barrier barely managed to block the destructive pressure.

Even so, Zhao Chen'an felt a tightness in his chest and his blood surging.

He looked at the woman in white before him, who exuded an aura of world destruction, and his heart pounded wildly.

This woman really wanted to kill him!

"Master?"

Xiao Chuchu finally realized something was wrong.

She looked at the cracked earth around her and at her several pale-faced sisters.

Then look at her father, who was blocking the way at the front; her little face was full of confusion and grievance.

"What...what's wrong?"

Mo Yuqing did not answer.

Beneath her face shrouded in Daoist aura, her phoenix eyes were fixed on the culprit behind Zhao Daoting, the one who looked completely innocent and dared to call her "Grandmaster."

Her mind was in turmoil, and anger was almost burning away her reason.

He cherished this peerless immortal talent, carefully selected and prepared to inherit his mantle; he held this precious disciple in his hands for fear of dropping her, and kept her in his mouth for fear of her melting away.

She had only been in seclusion for two years, and yet... she was actually taken by a mere mortal who couldn't even open the sea of ​​suffering!

She's pregnant!

What a shame!

This is an insult to Mo Yuqing, and a provocation to the sect behind her!

Kill this piece of trash!

A thought began to grow wildly in her mind.

However, when her gaze swept over Xiao Chuchu's pitiful little face, the overwhelming killing intent was forcibly extinguished somewhat.

She can't.

She knew Chu Chu's personality best; she was simple and kind, and now she was pregnant.

If I were to kill her husband, the father of her child, in front of her...

This blow was enough to destroy her Dao heart.

Mo Yuqing forcibly suppressed her surging blood and qi, and the violent pressure around her slowly subsided, but the temperature in the air was still icy cold.

She stopped looking at Zhao Chen'an and focused all her attention on her disciple.

"Wait until you give birth to the child."

Her voice was completely flat, so calm it was unsettling.

"Come with me, let's return to the sect."

"The spiritual energy here is too thin. This small dynasty is not worthy of your talent."

These words were both an order and an ultimatum.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuchu immediately became anxious.

Her little mouth pouted again, her eyes reddened, and she shook her head in grievance.

"Master, I don't want to leave."

"I want to be with my husband, I want to be with my sisters, this is my home."

Mo Yuqing was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

She turned her head sharply and glared at Zhao Daoting, the calm and collected Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

That old fox!

He must have known Chu Chu was pregnant all along!

He deliberately waited for me to come, deliberately letting Chu Chu use this child to manipulate me!

it is good!very good!

Mo Yuqing wished she could draw her sword on the spot and chop this cunning old man to pieces.

My precious disciple, a pure and innocent genius, has become someone else's wife in the blink of an eye, and a married woman with a child!

Seeing that the master and apprentice were locked in a stalemate and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Zhao Chen'an knew that he could no longer pretend to be dead.

If I keep dying, I'll really die.

He took a deep breath, steeled himself, and stepped out from behind his father, bowing respectfully to Mo Yuqing once more.

"Master, please calm your anger."

The way he addressed him as "Master" was so natural, as if he had long accepted this identity.

Mo Yuqing gave him a cold glance, saying nothing, but the meaning was clear:

Who do you think you are, to call me Master?

Zhao Chen'an, however, seemed oblivious to the murderous glare he was uttering, and continued to laugh to himself.

"I know you're doing this for Chuchu's own good."

"However, Chu Chu is currently six months pregnant, and her emotions should not be agitated."

"You two, master and disciple, have a deep bond. You can speak slowly and there's no need to rush."

He paused, then changed the subject, a perfectly measured hint of worry appearing on his face.

"Moreover, Master, your return is perfectly timed."

"To be honest, things have been quite turbulent inside and outside the Great Zhou recently. There are many villains who have been secretly coveting the Xiao family, and they have even posed a threat to Chu Chu's safety."

"We were worried that something might go wrong during Chuchu's delivery. Now that you're back, we're completely relieved!"

These words instantly transformed Mo Yuqing from an unwelcome guest who came to interrogate him.

He was elevated to the position of a "savior" who could turn the tide.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the words "petty scoundrel" and "threat to Chu Chu's safety," Mo Yuqing's attention was instantly diverted.

The coldness she exuded towards the Zhao family father and son vanished abruptly, replaced by an even purer and more ruthless killing intent!

"Who dares to touch my disciple?"

Mo Yuqing's voice wasn't loud, but it sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.

She wasn't stupid; she instantly understood the meaning behind Zhao Chen'an's words.

The Xiao family was located far within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, yet they were betrothed to a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a matter that was itself strange.

Who else could be willing to take action against the Xiao family and Chu Chu at this time, besides the Great Xia Dynasty that suffered a great loss?

"Hmph! A mere dynasty dares to covet my disciple?"

Mo Yuqing snorted coldly, and an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world arose spontaneously.

After saying that, she swayed and actually turned into a stream of light, heading straight for the Great Xia Dynasty to settle accounts with the Xia Emperor!

"Wait, fairy!"

Zhao Daoting took a step forward and blocked her at just the right moment.

The old emperor wore a sincere smile and cupped his hands in greeting to Mo Yuqing.

"Please calm down, fairy."

"Eliminate evil completely."

"The Great Xia Dynasty harbors wolfish ambitions, and there may well be other forces behind it."

"Why don't you stay here a while, Fairy? You can get closer to Chuchu and ease the tension. Maybe one day she'll change her mind and be willing to return to the sect with you?"

"Secondly, it's a good opportunity to stay here, lure the snakes out of their holes, and wipe out all the ghosts and monsters hiding in the shadows!"

These words were perfectly worded, giving Mo Yuqing a way out while making his true intentions sound noble.

Mo Yuqing stopped in her tracks.

She's not stupid; she can see right through it.

This father and son were clearly trying to use her as a pawn, using her to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty!

Sure enough, whether it's a dynasty or a celestial empire, as long as it's a royal family, there's not a single good one among them!

She sneered inwardly, but when she turned around and saw Xiao Chuchu's dependent yet expectant eyes...

All the anger and scheming in his heart eventually turned into a helpless sigh.

That's it.

Who told him to be his only disciple?

Mo Yuqing glanced coldly at Zhao Daoting, who was smiling like an old fox, and finally fixed her gaze on Zhao Chen'an.

She gritted her teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between them.

"Make room for me in your Prince Wei's residence!"
