"Thanks for the compliment..."
Yu Wan'er was speechless. She had truly witnessed the shamelessness of Jiang Che.
"You... you..."
Yu Wan'er fell silent, but her little face remained puffed up in anger.
To be honest... when she heard Jiang Che say he wanted Shen Yu to bear his child, her heart ached with an indescribable sourness, as if something precious had been snatched away from her.
Yet, she was powerless to stop it!
She knew Jiang Che inside out. Even though the girls had been by his side for so long... they never took any precautions, yet none of them had gotten pregnant. The main reason was Jiang Che’s dual-cultivation technique doing most of the work.
But if Jiang Che stopped using that technique and was determined to get one of the girls pregnant... it would be effortless.
"Haha, what’s this? You wanna get pregnant too? Look at your tiny frame... I could lift you with one hand. Forget about having a baby..."
Jiang Che easily saw through Yu Wan'er’s little thoughts. This bratty girl was getting desperate—deep down, she also wanted a child. But she was too short... the contrast would be ridiculous if she got pregnant.
If Yu Wan'er ended up with a baby bump, even passing dogs would call him a 'monster' for it.
"You..." Yu Wan'er knew her physical limitations meant Jiang Che would never give her the chance to get pregnant.
But... she had backup!
Come forth, Sister Mengyao!
Yu Wan'er pulled Ye Mengyao over from beside her and shot a challenging look at Jiang Che.
"Hmph, I still have Sister Mengyao... she can get pregnant for me!"
Ye Mengyao: "???"
Seriously, sis? You think having a baby is that simple?
Though Ye Mengyao’s feelings for Jiang Che were strong, she wasn’t ready to have his child yet. She was still a young girl in the prime of her youth—she had no desire to be nursing a baby right now.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, you too!"
Yu Wan'er then pushed Qin Qiaoqiao, who had been watching the drama unfold, into the spotlight.
Qin Qiaoqiao: "......"
Beware of your so-called friends!
Qin Qiaoqiao was in the same boat as Ye Mengyao. Though she loved Jiang Che dearly, pregnancy was the last thing on her mind—it felt like a distant future.
"Hah... look how scared you all are."
Jiang Che laughed heartily, wrapping his arms around Qin Qiaoqiao and Ye Mengyao’s waists.
"Sweethearts, don’t you want to see how Shen Yu falls for me? That girl has never had a single romantic thought about me..."
His words did pique the girls’ curiosity.
They knew Shen Yu well—she was practically an emotionless research machine, a genius with sky-high IQ who showed no interest in anything outside her work. A born scientist.
Yet this very same research fanatic had ended up in Jiang Che’s harem... and now he wanted her heart too?
How was that even possible?
"Jiang Che, don’t waste your time. Even if you get Sister Shen Yu pregnant, she probably still won’t love you."
Yu Wan'er’s voice dripped with schadenfreude.
"Then let’s make a bet. I’ll wager that Shen Yu will fall for me after she gets pregnant!"
Yu Wan'er narrowed her eyes. "Hmph, I’m not betting with a scammer like you! Every time I gamble with you, whether I win or lose, I end up suffering!"
She had long since seen through Jiang Che’s nature. Any bet with him always ended with her as the collateral—no matter the outcome, she was the one who paid the price.
After the girls left, Ye Mengyao hesitantly approached Jiang Che.
"Jiang... Jiang Che, I don’t want to have a baby so soon... Just ignore what Wan'er said earlier."
She lowered her head, fidgeting nervously.
She knew that if she got pregnant now, she’d instantly become one of Jiang Che’s most favored women.
And who were Jiang Che’s current favorites?
Yu Wan'er! The silver-haired loli Dong'er, and the catgirl Huangdoufen.
Including their ahoge, none of them even reached 150cm in height—none of them looked like they could even carry a child!
So if she got pregnant, she’d definitely be pampered.
But... she didn’t want to be a mother at this age.
"Hah... Mengyao, what are you overthinking? I’m not planning to knock all of you up."
Jiang Che patted Ye Mengyao’s head and kissed her cheek.
He had too many girls. If they all started competing to get pregnant, with his... capabilities, the Jiang family would double in size within a year. His system wasn’t some "more kids, more rewards" type—having children didn’t give him any benefits, just extra headaches.
"Really?" Ye Mengyao’s eyes instantly brightened.
If it was just Shen Yu having a baby, that was fine. But if the entire harem started a pregnancy race... that would be terrifying!
Aside from Shen Yu, it was best if none of them had kids first. The moment one girl got pregnant and gained Jiang Che’s favor, the domino effect would be unstoppable.
...
"What? Su Mianmian, you wanna have kittens for me?"
Jiang Che sat cross-legged on the sofa as Su Mianmian, now in human form, lounged beside him. Her figure had grown even more alluring—her waist slender as a willow, her peach-blossom eyes captivating, her pale silver hair cascading down, paired with fluffy white cat ears. She was beauty incarnate.
Su Mianmian’s looks were flawless!
"Tch, I’m not giving you any kittens..." Su Mianmian sighed helplessly. She was stuck on this pirate ship with no way off now.
"Meow... Master, I want fish snacks~" Little Huangdoufen crawled from the carpet onto Jiang Che’s lap, nuzzling her head against his chest.
Huangdoufen had also taken a permanent humanization pill and now mostly appeared as a catgirl.
Jiang Che exhaled softly—this little dummy was adorable.
Back then, he had tricked Huangdoufen into his bed with sweet lies. Looking back now... damn, he really was a monster.
"By the way, Jiang Che, lately I’ve been feeling an unusual heat in my body, concentrated in my dantian. And... my memories keep flashing with strange fragments, like I’ve suddenly learned new spells."
As she spoke, Su Mianmian raised a finger—whoosh—a ghostly blue flame flickered to life on her fingertip, radiating intense heat.
"Oh?"
Jiang Che’s brow lifted with interest.
The Jiang family villa had vast stretches of premium spirit fields, and a spirit-gathering array concentrated the energy they emitted. The density of spiritual energy here... even by celestial standards, was top-tier.
Could Su Mianmian be awakening some kind of bloodline inheritance?
Jiang Che stroked his chin. Plenty of cultivation novels had that trope, after all.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
