Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

After some time had passed.

That morning, when Lu Xueqi got up, she suddenly felt nauseous. She rushed outside and gagged a few times, but nothing came out.

Jiang Xiaochuan followed her out, patted her back, and asked worriedly:

"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head, straightened up, wiped her mouth, her face a little pale. She frowned, thought for a moment, and then raised her hand to place it on her pulse.

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at her, feeling a little flustered. After a while, Lu Xueqi put down her hand, turned to look at him, and her eyes were somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaochuan asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Lu Xueqi pursed her lips, then smiled and said:

"I think I might be pregnant."

Jiang Xiaochuan froze, as if struck by lightning, standing there motionless. Several seconds later, he finally reacted, grabbing Lu Xueqi's hand, his voice trembling:

"What did you say?!"

"I said," Lu Xueqi looked at him, her face still bearing a gentle smile, repeating each word carefully, "I think I might be pregnant."

Jiang Xiaochuan's mind went blank. He looked at Lu Xueqi, at her smiling face, at her gentle eyes, at the complex emotions in her eyes, and suddenly remembered what she had said on their wedding night.

"How could I be pregnant with my current body?"

He stared at her, his eyes slowly reddening, and asked through gritted teeth:

"You're lying to me?"

Lu Xueqi's eyes flickered, she turned her face away, and whispered:

"I was just... afraid you'd worry."

"Lu Xueqi!" Jiang Xiaochuan roared, his voice cracking. He grabbed her shoulders, "Do you know how painful childbirth is? How difficult it is? How could you..."

"You've given birth?" Lu Xueqi suddenly turned around, interrupting him, her eyes calm.

Jiang Xiaochuan was taken aback: "Of course not..."

"That settles it then," Lu Xueqi said matter-of-factly. "You've never given birth, how would you know how painful and difficult it is?"

Jiang Xiaochuan choked, opened his mouth as if to say something, but his mind was a mess and he couldn't say anything. He looked at Lu Xueqi for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse voice:

"I...I'm worried about you."

Lu Xueqi's eyes softened, she reached out and touched his face, her voice also softening:

"I know, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes reddened even more. He hugged her tightly, burying his face in the crook of her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice:

"You're a liar..."

Lu Xueqi smiled and gently patted his back:

"Yes, I'm a liar."

The two hugged for a while, then Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly remembered something, looked up at Lu Xueqi:

"You said you want children?"

Lu Xueqi nodded: "Yes, I want your child."

Jiang Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at her for a long time.

……

The two hugged for a while longer, then Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly let go of her, turned around and walked into the house. Lu Xueqi was startled, but followed him inside.

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Xiaochuan ignored her, walked to the bedside, sat down, closed his eyes, and called out Hongli's name in his heart.

Hongli came out quickly, leaned against the door, and looked at them with a smile:

"What's wrong now? It's broad daylight, surely it doesn't have to be?"

Jiang Xiaochuan opened his eyes, looked at her, and said very seriously:

"Sister Hongli, can you switch my body with Xueqi's?"

Hongli raised an eyebrow: "Switch them? Why?"

"She's pregnant," Jiang Xiaochuan said, his voice steady. "I'll take the blame for her."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Hongli looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, then at Lu Xueqi, and then smiled and clapped her hands:

"Great idea! I've always wanted to see what it's like for a man to give birth!"

Lu Xueqi's expression changed, and she grabbed Jiang Xiaochuan's hand:

"no."

"Why not?" Jiang Xiaochuan turned to look at her, his eyes firm. "Last time, you suffered for me when my heart was torn apart. This time, it's my turn to take your place."

"That's different," Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth, "That was pain, this is..."

"This is pain too," Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted her, taking her hand in return, his voice softening, "Xueqi, you've suffered so much for me, this time, let me do something for you, okay?"

Lu Xueqi looked at him for a long time, then shook her head:

"No, I disagree."

"Xueqi..."

"I said no, and that's final." Lu Xueqi's voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Xiaochuan pursed his lips and looked at Hong Li:

"Sister Hongli, can you force me to change it?"

Hong Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi also looked at her with cold, warning eyes.

Hong Li smiled and shrugged:

"I can, but she won't agree, so I won't do it. A forced relationship won't be happy, and besides, what if she comes after me later? Can you stop her?"

Jiang Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, turned around, looked at Lu Xueqi, and softened his voice:

"Xueqi, be good, listen to me just this once, okay?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head.

Just once, just this once.

Lu Xueqi shook her head again.

"Xueqi..."

"no."

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at Lu Xueqi for a long time, then took a deep breath and said to Hong Li:

"Sister Hongli, change it."

Hong Li was stunned and looked at Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi was also stunned. She looked at Jiang Xiaochuan with shock, anger, and something else in her eyes.

"Xiao Chuan, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hong Li raised her hand, her fingertips glowing red. She looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, then at Lu Xueqi, and sighed.

"Fine, it's either you two, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit."

……

Deep within Fox Ridge Mountain, the stone chamber and stone door of the Ghost King Sect's forbidden area, after remaining silent for an unknown period of time, finally slid slowly to one side with a low rumble.

A cold, dusty airflow wafted out from inside the door.

Jin Ping'er stood not far from the door, leaning against the cold stone wall. She had been waiting for an unknown amount of time. Today, she had changed into a new pale yellow dress and carefully combed her hair, adorning it with a plain silver hairpin. Upon hearing the sound of the stone door, she immediately straightened up and turned her gaze to the deep cave entrance.

First came the sound of footsteps, very light and steady. Then, a glimpse of a light green skirt emerged from the dim light, followed by the entire figure.

Biyao came out.

She seemed to have grown taller, her figure more slender, her once slightly round cheeks had thinned out, and the lines of her jaw had become clearer, even somewhat sharp. Her skin was a pale, almost transparent white, as if it had never seen the sun, revealing the pale blue veins underneath.

Those usually bright and mischievous eyes were now as still as two deep pools, reflecting no light.

The original innocent charm had faded, replaced by an indescribable sense of weariness and a certain cold detachment. Her demeanor had become somber, like jade covered with a thin layer of frost, cool and refreshing.

Just by standing there, an invisible aura of "keep away, strangers" spread out.
