Jiang Che's Romantic Debts

"What? You almost killed Ji Qingyi?"

Jiang Che was completely baffled, and only then did he remember to check his system points. Sure enough, not long ago, Di Zhao had spent tens of billions of points at his place, even buying a Super Lethal Strike card. Then Ji Qingyi’s points just started pouring in like crazy.

Jiang Che’s mouth twitched. Clearly, Ji Qingyi wasn’t as powerful as Yu Wan’er’s father. Even an ordinary Lethal Strike card could threaten Yu Chuan, let alone a Super Lethal Strike card. The fact that Ji Qingyi was still alive was nothing short of a miracle.

"Husband... that Evil Lord holds a grudge against you. Since you have the power to kill her, why not just do it?"

Di Zhao asked, tilting her head. "Or... do you intend to take her into your harem as well?"

"Cough, cough..." Jiang Che cleared his throat awkwardly. "This Evil Lord is a scourge to the world. As the future Heavenly Lord, it’s my duty to suppress her. As the saying goes, 'If I don’t go to hell, who will?'"

Di Zhao lowered her eyes and nodded. "I understand. But husband... Ji Qingyi seems to hate you deeply. How will you handle her?"

"She hates the Demon Ancestor, not me. What’s that got to do with me?" Jiang Che spread his hands.

Di Zhao’s lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.

"Of course, even if I really were the Demon Ancestor, so what? Hatred is just hatred—even a blood feud can be resolved," Jiang Che said casually.

"If the Demon Ancestor truly were my alter ego, given my nature, I definitely wouldn’t go too far. I’d always leave room for myself to be redeemed later. At most, I’d torment her the way I tormented Tian Chan..."

Wasn’t Tian Chan unlucky enough? She was tortured mercilessly by Jiang Che and Yun Ya, but if she ever found out that it was actually Jiang Che and Yun Ya who did it together, she would definitely fall into darkness again.

I suspect Ji Qingyi is just a second-edition, even darker version of Tian Chan. When Jiang Che messes with a girl, he always has limits. He always finds a way to eventually clear his name. If he had actually created a blood feud... that proves he’s not the Demon Ancestor. Then he doesn’t even need to redeem himself—he could directly help Ji Qingyi annihilate the real Demon Ancestor and win her heart that way.

Either way, Ji Qingyi was a prize he was determined to claim. Not even Jesus could stop him.

"I think I have an idea of what’s going on," Jiang Che said, as though a thought had struck him.

Di Zhao looked sideways at him. She already understood his attitude toward Ji Qingyi.

Though she personally despised Ji Qingyi, since her husband felt this way... loving someone meant loving what he loved, so she wouldn’t say anything more.

"Husband, could we retreat for a time to cultivate in seclusion? I want to conceive your child!" Di Zhao suddenly changed the subject. She was in a rush—she desperately wanted to bear Jiang Che’s child, but it just wasn’t happening.

If someone like Tian Chan, an exalted Immortal Emperor, could get pregnant, why couldn’t she?

Even though her cultivation level was higher than Tian Chan’s, Jiang Che could make any woman pregnant regardless of her power. But she couldn’t seem to conceive!

It had even made her wonder if she was infertile.

But immortals all had divine bodies—how could they be infertile?

"Uh..." Jiang Che’s kidney ached as he rubbed his lower back. Di Zhao was dead set on getting pregnant. If she didn’t succeed, she wouldn’t let him go.

"Zhao Zhao, I think..."

Before he could finish, Di Zhao covered his mouth.

Her gaze was filled with firmness and sincerity. "I don’t care what you think. I only care about what I think."

With that, she lifted him up in her arms.

Jiang Che: "???"

Di Zhao said nothing. She seriously suspected that Jiang Che was deliberately preventing her from getting pregnant. So this time, she was going to force the issue. If she didn’t conceive, she wouldn’t release him.

Even if the chance was one in ten thousand, with enough repetition, it was bound to work!

"Zhao Zhao, wait... let me notify the other girls first," Jiang Che said.

Ever since the incident in the Demon Domain, he couldn’t disappear for more than a month straight without explanation.

"There’s no need. I’ll explain to Sister Wan’er," Di Zhao said calmly.

Jiang Che: "..."

It was hard to imagine that the woman in front of him was the same Ji Qingyi, the Emperor’s daughter. If he hadn’t known better, he’d swear she was a succubus.

...

"Burp~~~"

After eating her fill, Yu Wan’er lay on the bed, kicked off her shoes, and let her feet dangle freely, patting her belly with her hands. Ever since she found out she was pregnant with twins, her appetite had soared. She was practically eating ten meals’ worth of food in one sitting.

"This Chef Hua’s cooking is really something—endless variations. I don’t even know what I’m eating half the time," Yu Wan’er said, a satisfied expression on her little face. She had fully given up on being productive. With her babies as her shield, she could avoid all the bullshit for at least a hundred years... or maybe not.

"Of course. Chef Hua is the top culinary immortal in the Nine Heavens. Countless people would bankrupt themselves just to taste one of his divine dishes," said Long Qianqiu as she walked over, carrying a cup of tea brewed from Enlightenment Ancient Tea leaves. The little teacup was stuffed full of leaves that not even a breath could stir.

Long Qianqiu seemed obsessed with Enlightenment Ancient Tea. When she was a child, she had watched other immortals drinking it, and even her immortal father would re-brew the same few leaves thousands of times.

So now that she was rich under Jiang Che’s wing, she drank it like water. Half the Enlightenment Ancient Tea leaves in the house were consumed by Long Qianqiu alone.

"Sister Long~~~" Yu Wan’er called out sweetly. She had gone to great lengths to balance Jiang Che’s harem.

At that moment, as she rested, Yu Wan’er was holding a thick book filled with names and photos.

[Yue Lingxian: Lost daughter of the Moon Spirit clan, stumbled into the Harmony Demon Sect and was taken in. Second-stage Emperor-level cultivation. The third senior sister of Harmony Demon Sect. Height: 178 cm, weight: 130 jin (nearly 145 lbs), curvy-thick queen, measurements 96-66-96...]

[Hua Qing’er: Flower Fairy saint of the Demon Flower clan, studying at Harmony Demon Sect. First-stage immortal cultivation. The third elder of Harmony Demon Sect. Soul age: 40,000 years. Height: 144 cm, weight: 65 jin (72 lbs), beloved little loli...]

Yu Wan’er paused when she saw Hua Qing’er. That damn girl was two centimeters taller than her. "Hmph. Trick hairstyle..."

But she still marked Hua Qing’er as someone to watch. A loli with a scheming heart would be a formidable opponent.

Yes, Yu Wan’er was reviewing data—all the romantic entanglements Jiang Che had left behind at the "brothel"... uh, at the Harmony Demon Sect on his last visit.
