Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"You won't have your own biological children, so you'll naturally be more able to treat my children well in the future."

Su Mu thought to himself that what he said was really outrageous.

Wen Qianzhu's suggestion made him feel quite awkward.

But then he realized a crucial point: an adopted son is still a son, so wouldn't adopting a child in this way be considered a system-recognized opportunity to have offspring?

"You're unwilling to agree?"

Seeing Wen Qianzhu's hesitant expression, Wen Qianzhu pressed on with a slightly somber tone, her voice tinged with displeasure.

"Since I have already agreed to compensate you, and you have proposed this method, I have no choice but to agree, even if I am unwilling."

Su Mu replied frankly.

Becoming the godfather of the child of a Martial King realm expert seems like a sure-fire way to make money.

He hardly had to do anything; the child was carefully raised and nurtured by Wen Qianzhu.

With this added father-son relationship, it's like having an extra Martial King realm expert as an ally out of thin air.

If any more powerful individuals from Yunxiang Valley break through the black mist and arrive in the Great Qian territory in the future, they will most likely stand on our side out of consideration for this relationship.

To put it another way, if in the end no one can stop the calamity of the Ghost Clan and the world is destroyed, then there is no point in struggling with choices now.

On the contrary, if you have another offspring, the system will most likely give you a generous reward.

Perhaps with the system's reward, I will be able to face the threat of the Ghost Clan without fear, and may even have the opportunity to completely eradicate the Black Mist Calamity.

"If you can accept it, then that's good."

A look of satisfaction appeared on Wen Qianzhu's face.

For her, using Liang Song's crippled body to find a safe place for her unborn child, and then finding the strongest local expert in the world to be her adoptive father, was an extremely worthwhile deal.

She needed a safe and peaceful place to rest and prepare for childbirth.

There were very few survivors who returned from beyond the realm in the same batch, and each of them possessed formidable cultivation. Such powerful individuals would never deign to be the father of someone else's child.

Among the native powerhouses of this world, Su Mu, who appears in the form of a eunuch, is already recognized as the number one.

After weighing the options, choosing Su Mu was the most suitable choice for her.

"Miss Wen, please rest in this room for now. I will have someone prepare another place for you to recuperate."

Seeing that Qianzhu had agreed, Su Mu took the gold and left the room.

As Su Mu walked out of the library, carrying gold on his shoulder, he bumped into Xiao Anran in the courtyard.

Xiao Anran had already noticed the commotion on the second floor and Wen Qianzhu's angry shouts.

"Your Majesty, what happened upstairs just now?"

"A woman who has returned from beyond the borders is pregnant and will be staying here permanently."

Su Mu gave a brief explanation and then gave the instructions.

"From today onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of her during her pregnancy until she gives birth. Also, prepare a spacious and quiet room for her on the second floor of the library."

"it is good."

Xiao Anran nodded obediently, then asked curiously, "Is she also a descendant of those ancient forces that migrated away ten thousand years ago?"

"Exactly."

Su Mu replied.

"She is a disciple of Yunxiang Valley, and her cultivation has already reached the Martial King realm. You should treat her with utmost respect and never provoke her."

"I know."

Xiao Anran usually reads ancient books and knows that Yunxiang Valley was a top sect ten thousand years ago.

Without asking any further questions, she immediately summoned a group of eunuchs and palace maids and went upstairs to begin arranging the room.

Just past midnight, a group of palace servants had already tidied up a spacious and elegant residence on the second floor.

Su Mu invited Wen Qianzhu to the newly cleaned room and introduced Xiao Anran to her.

"Miss Wen, from now on, my adopted daughter Anran will take care of you personally during your pregnancy."

After the introductions were completed, Su Mu began to speak.

"Thank you for your trouble, Princess Anran."

Wen Qianzhu bowed to Xiao Anran.

"No need for such formalities, senior."

Xiao Anran bowed in return.

Serving a Martial King realm expert was not a disservice to her. She herself was only at the Innate realm, and the difference in cultivation was vast. In the process of caring for him, she could also learn a great deal from what she saw and heard.

After arranging for Xiao Anran to stay and take care of Wen Qianzhu, Su Mu carried the gold and returned to his room.

Not long after Jinzi finished devouring Liang Song's remains, it fell into a deep sleep. Su Mu placed it on the bed, and then sat cross-legged at the head of the bed in quiet meditation.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Xi Changfeng's primordial spirit was already at its limit and was gradually unable to hold on.

The bowl-shaped soul defense artifact above his head no longer emitted protective light.

The jade ruyi-shaped treasure for attacking souls in his hand also lost its brilliance and could no longer unleash soul techniques.

Su Mu's primordial spirit was supported by the foundation of the sword soul. Although he was somewhat tired from days of fighting, it was still solid and powerful.

He would occasionally swallow a Soul Nourishing Pill to replenish his soul's depletion, firmly maintaining his advantage and ensuring his victory in this soul duel.

An hour and a half after midnight, Xi Changfeng's primordial spirit, which had not received any spiritual energy or soul replenishment, was finally on the verge of complete collapse.

On the eve of his collapse, his primordial spirit unleashed its last remaining power, pouring it all into the jade ruyi magic weapon. With the power of the magic weapon, he released a torrent of pure will.

This force of will penetrated the protective barrier of the Worry-Free Umbrella without any hindrance, sank into the foundation of Su Mu's sword soul, and frantically infiltrated his original primordial spirit.

The next moment, Su Mu felt his primordial spirit suffer an extremely strong impact of consciousness.

It wasn't a head-on clash of soul power, but rather a massive influx of unfamiliar thoughts and complex memories, like a flood bursting its banks, frantically washing over his original self-awareness.

If his will cannot resist, even if his self-awareness does not completely dissipate, it will be mixed with Xi Changfeng's thoughts and become impure.

Once his self-awareness is completely swallowed up, his primordial spirit and even his entire soul will be replaced by Xi Changfeng, completing the possession and rebirth.

This was Xi Changfeng's final calculation.

Through a prolonged soul-wrenching struggle, Su Mu's spiritual state and mental will were gradually worn down. Finally, in a desperate gamble, Su Mu forcibly took over Su Mu's body.

Even if the possession fails, as long as Su Mu's will weakens even slightly, he will fall into a state of mental confusion, develop a dual personality, and suffer mental and physical damage from then on.

[An intrusive, foreign consciousness has been detected. The system will automatically erase the intrusive intent, retaining only its lifelong memories!]

A cold system notification suddenly rang in Su Mu's mind.

Su Mu was filled with surprise, never expecting that the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system bound to him would take the initiative at this crucial moment.

After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood.

I was originally a soul from another world who transmigrated and possessed the body of the original Xiao Suzi. The system directly erased the original consciousness and only retained the memories.

The system had already bound itself to his original soul from his transmigration, and would never allow anyone else to forcibly invade or tamper with the host's consciousness or seize his physical body.

Su Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Without system intervention, even if he wouldn't be completely possessed, he would certainly have to endure a long period of mental confusion and torment.

In the blink of an eye, the system thwarted Xi Changfeng's attempt to possess his body, completely erasing his intent to invade.

"Perfect timing, let's take a look at Xi Changfeng's life memories."
