The Unborn Four-legged Gold-devouring Beast

Yu Wan'er's hair had turned green.

She now looked like a fairy-tale elf come to life.

Jiang Che nearly lost his composure when he saw it—not that green hair looked bad, but... well, let Yu Wan'er figure it out herself.

"Wow, Jiang Che, my power level just shot up! I was only at the low-tier Sky Shattering Stage earlier, but now I’m at the high-tier... and my cultivation speed is countless times faster!"

Yu Wan'er bounced excitedly. "Oh, right, after gaining an immortal physique... shouldn’t I also become prettier?"

She pulled out a small mirror and checked her reflection—only for her face to darken instantly.

"Why am I green??? My hair turned green!!!"

Her voice rose several octaves, clearly unable to accept the reality of her emerald locks.

"It’s normal. The Jade Vine Immortal Physique contains the Primordial Breath of All Life. Green represents vitality... so your hair turning green is perfectly natural," Jiang Che explained calmly and seriously.

"No way! This green hair is so ugly! I don’t want it—I’m dyeing it back!!!"

Yu Wan'er puffed her cheeks and tugged at her hair in frustration. The green strands even had a slight natural curl, driving her up the wall.

"Tsk tsk, what’s wrong with it? I think it suits you. No green hat... but green hair is just as good!"

"Who’s wearing a green hat?!!"

Yu Wan'er’s voice turned shrill.

Her hatred for green hair stemmed from this very reason. Just days ago, she had introduced Chi Nai to Jiang Che—wasn’t that basically setting herself up for betrayal?

Now, the green hair felt like a personal insult.

"I can’t take this! Jiang Che, you’re so resourceful—you must have a way to change my hair back! This green is way too punk, I don’t want it!"

Yu Wan'er scowled at her reflection in disgust.

"Oh! How about making it white instead? Sister Yao Yao has white hair... and she looks so ethereal, it’s unreal!"

"You think I’m a damn hair salon? Want me to dye it white too? Not enough white-haired girls at home already? Su Mianmian, Dong'er, and Yao Yao—all of them have white hair! Pick something else..."

"Fine, pink then! The pinker the hair, the harder the punches!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she even rubbed her hands together eagerly.

"......"

"Just settle down. Black twin-tails suit you best."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Che restored Yu Wan'er’s hair to its original color.

Though she looked no different from before, her entire aura had elevated to a whole new level.

The changes brought by the immortal physique were subtle yet profound—like the unspoken authority of those in power, an effortless dignity.

If the old Yu Wan'er had been an ordinary mortal girl, now she carried the refined grace of a treasured young mistress from a prestigious cultivation clan.

"Hehe, thanks, Jiang Che!"

Yu Wan'er tugged playfully at her twin-tails, flashing a coy smile—though the shyness was clearly fake. After spending so much time with Jiang Che, her face had long since thickened to an impressive degree.

"Oh, right... the other sisters all want to improve too. They want to catch up to you..."

Jiang Che: "???"

What, they’re forming a squad to loot me for treasures?

Still, Jiang Che currently had billions of merit points to spare—enough to outfit everyone with an immortal physique. But... billions! The thought made his heart ache.

"Tell them this: once they reach the Divine Comprehension Realm... I’ll take you all to exploit the Heavenly Dao’s loopholes. Everyone gets a post-natal immortal physique!"

Innate immortal physiques were known as "Heaven’s Chosen," naturally occurring from birth. Post-natal physiques, however, were forged through brutal heavenly tribulations—refined a hundred times to achieve immortality.

And as luck would have it, Jiang Che knew exactly how to game the system for post-natal physiques.

"Oh~"

Yu Wan'er’s face lit up with a grin, and she skipped away cheerfully.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Jiang Che grabbed the unruly tuft of hair sticking up from Yu Wan'er’s head and yanked her back.

The Jade Vine Immortal Physique... Did she really think he’d let billions go to waste?

The Primordial Breath of All Life within her—Jiang Che was more than happy to savor the essence of rebirth.

Yu Wan'er: "......"

She should’ve known this bastard wasn’t that generous!

......

As it turned out, an immortal physique was truly something else.

The terrifying potential of Yu Wan'er’s new physique soon became apparent.

Her feet, which had once swelled to size 38 shoes, had now slimmed down to a dainty size 35.

And let’s not forget—the Jade Vine Immortal Physique was also a top-tier cauldron constitution!

The result? Overnight, Yu Wan'er’s cultivation soared to the Half-Step Divine Comprehension Realm. If she wished, she could trigger her heavenly tribulation and ascend at any moment.

Meanwhile, Jiang Che remained stuck at the early Divine Comprehension Stage.

Ever since awakening his Void Immortal Physique, his cultivation hadn’t budged an inch.

The Void Immortal Physique deceived both heaven and earth. Even a Great Emperor couldn’t discern its true power unless they personally inspected him—or mastered the Dao of Void themselves.

......

Outside the Dragon Palace, envoys from the Jiang Family of the Nine Heavens had been waiting for over a month.

"Has the Young Emperor grown too indulgent? We haven’t seen him in over a month."

"Can you blame him? Dual immortal physiques—he’s the Jiang Family’s future pillar. We can’t afford to rush him."

"His wife, Shen Yu, is pregnant. The offspring of an immortal physique... the elders are taking this very seriously."

Clearly, the Jiang Family’s presence at Jiang Che’s doorstep was all about the child in Shen Yu’s womb.

The descendant of a dual immortal physique—if the child inherited even greater talent, the Nine Heavens’ future would belong to the Jiang Family.

"Still, we should advise the Young Emperor when we see him. Indulging in women every day isn’t proper—he can’t waste his dual physiques!"

"Honestly, the Young Emperor is the most versatile cultivator I’ve ever seen. But he shouldn’t drain his vitality like this..."

"If I had dual immortal physiques, I’d cultivate 24 hours a day..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Che sat beside Shen Yu, deeply frustrated.

Shen Yu was engrossed in studying formations, while Jiang Che was busy studying her.

Why?

Why hadn’t Shen Yu’s belly grown at all recently?

A month ago, she was seven months pregnant. Now, his pulse diagnosis still showed the fetus at seven months—as if its development had stalled.

Worse, the fetus had developed an insatiable appetite for spirit stones, guzzling three or four top-grade spirit stones daily. If deprived, it threw tantrums—kicking and squirming relentlessly.

"Damn kid, sucking up three or four top-grade stones a day like I’m a damn bank?"

Jiang Che rested his hand on Shen Yu’s rounded belly, scowling in annoyance.
