I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Kong Miao looked at the tightly closed doors of the treasure vault and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I understand that you don't care about the gossip of those low-ranking servants in the courtyard."

"But Shen Jiuyuan is different; he is not one of our demon race."

"There are some rules of the demon race that someone of his background probably can't accept in a short time."

"Don't let his dragon bloodline fool you; he's only half a demon, with a tiny bit of demonic blood in him."

The offspring of true low-level demons and monsters are collectively called monsters.

Monsters are born with the talent of devouring demons and cultivate demonic energy. Their bloodlines are mixed, and they are not considered orthodox members of the same race in the eyes of pure-blooded demons.

In the Demon Realm, the father is always respected, while the matrilineal system of the demon race is the complete opposite.

Kong Miao: "He's used to being arrogant in the Demon Realm. Suddenly coming to our Demon Palace as a 'pregnant man' and being teased about as a pampered husband must be really bothersome to him."

Xu Yuan listened casually, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I never intended for him to accept it."

"I'll let him go once he's safely laid those two eggs."

"I never intended for him to stay long, nor did I need him to integrate into the rules of the demon race."

Upon hearing this, Kong Miao's pupils widened in disbelief, and he reached out to grab her.

"No?! You're letting him go?!"

"Do you know how difficult it is for us demons to reproduce?!"

All mother creatures, from pregnancy to childbirth, invariably suffer losses in their cultivation and depletion of their original spiritual energy!

Therefore, the demon race never easily conceives offspring.

Each heir is carefully selected years in advance, with precious materials prepared, the mother nurtured, and risks mitigated.

It is precisely because the losses and costs were too great that she has not been able to conceive after so many years of wishing.

Kong Miao: "This is also why our demon race is so rare. Rather than depleting ourselves and creating more offspring, it's better to wholeheartedly nurture a legitimate bloodline!"

"The result!! You've encountered someone who can give birth to your heir without sacrificing even a fraction of your cultivation!!"

"This is such a wonderful thing! Others would kill for it! And you just let him go right after giving birth?!"

Kong Miao was utterly disappointed in her, staring at her and sighing repeatedly.

Xu Yuan gazed softly into the hall.

"Why keep him around?"

"He has a bad temper and a deep mind, so he's been keeping quiet for a while now that I've kept him under control. It's quite fun to tease him occasionally."

"But he is ultimately the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, a local overlord. If I keep him detained indefinitely, how could the billions of demons in the Demon Realm possibly let it go?"

"I am not afraid of the Demon Realm, but there is no need to make enemies unnecessarily and create unnecessary trouble."

"You also saw the way he stormed the demon realm last time. In his anger, he almost overturned half of the demon mountain and nearly endangered tens of thousands of his people."

"If we really push him to the brink, given his personality, he would absolutely dare to risk self-destruction and take me down with him."

"It's not worth sacrificing yourself and the stability of the demon realm just to keep two more children."

Kong Miao paused upon hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense and was instantly speechless.

After a while, she still wouldn't give up and whispered her encouragement.

"Then...then at least let him lay a few more eggs before he leaves, right?"

Xu Yuan immediately shook his head.

"don't want."

"Am I really that free?"

Upon hearing her words, Kong Miao immediately sighed with resentment, his face filled with disappointment.

"While you're not free, my entire Feather Clan and I are certainly very free!"

"Look at the tribe, how many years has it been since a newborn cub was born?"

"The whole clan is old and stable, there's no novelty at all! You finally got such a good opportunity, and you don't cherish it at all."

Xu Yuan chuckled helplessly at her nagging, and gently waved her hand: "I understand the reasoning, but it's really not necessary. Just let things take their course."

Kong Miao could only shrug sheepishly: "Fine, fine, whatever."

After a brief silence, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered the important matter and casually asked, "By the way, how long is the normal incubation period for our Feathered Clan?"

Kong Miao froze on the spot, staring at her in disbelief: "...You didn't know? You're the Demon Emperor!"

Xu Yuan touched his nose guiltily.

"I've been in seclusion for too long and have forgotten everything. Besides, I've never even laid a seed in my life, so how would I remember these trivial rules?"

Kong Miao sighed helplessly, "This varies from person to person. Different bloodlines, different constitutions, different number of pregnancies, and different cycles result in vastly different menstrual cycles."

"To know the exact date, one must personally examine the fetal pulse and observe the fetal breathing."

Xu Yuan nodded and noted it down: "Okay, I'll bring the person over later, and you can take a look at them."

……

Meanwhile, inside the magnificent and grand treasure vault.

The room was filled with a dazzling light that flowed and diffused into a warm, rosy glow. Treasures were piled up like mountains on the ground, a dazzling array that made one's eyes dazzled.

The jade platforms on the ground are arranged in layers, neatly categorized and organized.

The front row is filled with rare and precious materials, the sides are displayed with high-grade spirit stones and minerals, and further in there are rows of exquisite jade shelves, with a private medicine pavilion in the corner.

Shen Jiuyuan stood amidst a sea of ​​treasures, his mood unmoved.

After all, these things are quite common for him.

Since we're already here, we should definitely choose the most expensive one.

……

Inside the eggshell

Xu Nanyi then woke up.

She had completely refined and absorbed the original demonic energy, and her cultivation broke through, directly entering the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!

Within the womb, the spiritual energy was gentle and warm, her consciousness was clear and transparent, and her five senses became incredibly sharp.

Through a thin eggshell, she could clearly perceive the outside world. The aura of pure treasures from the treasure vault continuously flowed into her womb, surrounding her.

Just as she was curiously observing the vast spiritual energy around her, an extremely domineering bloodline aura suddenly intruded into her senses!

She instinctively looked in the direction of the scent—

In the distance, at the very center of the jade platform, sits a crystal-clear, dust-free glass bottle.

The bottle contained only a single drop of dark red essence blood, which floated and swirled silently.

Yet this single drop of blood carries with it an unparalleled pressure that overlooks all living beings and suppresses all races!

The oppressive feeling crashed down on her immature consciousness, causing her to instinctively feel an urge to bow down in awe and submit completely.

Xu Nanyi was startled.

Through the thin eggshell, she stared at the glass bottle containing dark red essence blood, her eyes filled with a bright, longing gaze.

This drop of bloodline is extraordinary!

Xu Nanyi herself was trapped inside the eggshell, unable to touch the treasures outside.

In desperation, the little girl transmitted her thoughts through her mind, her voice filled with expectation and a touch of coquetry.

"Daddy! I want that!"

Shen Jiuyuan froze instantly, his movements of selecting treasures stopping abruptly.

The vast and quiet treasure vault was empty; there was no one else there but him.

Shen Jiuyuan lowered his eyes in a daze, his gaze falling on his slightly protruding belly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Am I hallucinating?

He's been imprisoned and teased lately, and he's been so pent up that he's started experiencing auditory hallucinations like a child.

Puzzled, he subconsciously stretched out his slender fingertips and gently poked his round, soft belly.

The thought that he was about to blurt out "Little Fatty Chicken" had just popped into his head when he abruptly cut it off!

No!

He also wants to win over his daughter so that he can bring the little phoenix back to the Demon Realm in the future!

He can't keep calling him such a childish and disdainful nickname; it ruins his image as a gentle and loving father!
