"Husband, it's because of her immortal constitution. Sister Shen Yu's pregnancy is too extraordinary—it naturally wouldn't be so easy for the child to be born."
"In the Nine Heavens, many sacred constitutions remain in the womb longer than ordinary fetuses. If they absorb vast amounts of spiritual elixirs, it can take even longer... This is called replenishing innate vitality."
Mo Lianxing began explaining to Jiang Che.
"Innate vitality?" Jiang Che asked, puzzled.
"Exactly. All babies born after ten months in the womb have some degree of innate deficiency. That’s why many noble clans nourish the child extensively while still in the womb, ensuring they’re already at the finish line the moment they’re born..."
Born at the finish line... That’s hard to swallow.
"Some immortal constitutions take especially long—there are even cases where an immortal constitution remained in the womb for three hundred years, emerging as a half-step Divine Transformation realm existence..."
Jiang Che’s eyes widened in shock!
"Are you saying... Shen Yu might be pregnant for three hundred years???"
"Since it’s the Devouring Immortal-Demon Constitution, a top-tier constitution surpassing immortal grade, it might take even longer."
Jiang Che: "......"
Jiang Che lowered his head and glanced at Shen Yu’s belly.
Even Nezha only took three years in the womb, and you’re telling me three hundred?
Is this a joke?
"Shen Yu, the baby might stay in your belly for three hundred years," Jiang Che said slowly.
Shen Yu, who had been diligently studying an array formation, paused. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Che, then lowered them again.
"Oh, got it."
Jiang Che: "???"
Wait, girl, you’re this calm about it?
What normal woman could accept being pregnant for three hundred years? Wouldn’t she go crazy?
"I need to find a way to speed this up. Can’t let the kid stay in there that long."
The main issue was that the child consumed several top-grade spirit stones daily—it was getting unbearable.
Jiang Che did have a lot of top-grade spirit stones on hand. Emperor Jiang Hong’s Azure Dragon Ring contained over two thousand, and Jia Ling'er’s storage pouch had several thousand more.
But even that wasn’t enough to keep up.
While top-grade spirit stones were said to have infinite renewable spiritual energy, the problem was... this little demon devoured everything, even the Five Elements’ Primordial Qi within the stones, turning them into worthless rocks.
And if she didn’t get them, she’d throw a tantrum.
Young Master Jiang was truly experiencing the pain of raising a child on a tight budget—it was unaffordable, absolutely unaffordable!
"Damn it, I should have fewer kids in the future."
Even Jiang Che, with his resources, couldn’t handle a super immortal constitution, let alone other noble clans!
"Husband, I... I think I won’t have a baby after all."
Mo Lianxing was also intimidated. This was just too terrifying.
In her past life, she’d worked her whole life to save up just three top-grade spirit stones, and now that wasn’t even enough for a single day of the baby’s "milk money."
"I wasn’t planning on letting you have one anyway!"
"......"
Heartbroken! Devastated!
"No! Damn it, I can’t take this anymore. The milk money can’t come out of my pocket!"
Jiang Che slapped his thigh decisively.
There was still the Jiang Clan of the Nine Heavens!
Three top-grade spirit stones a day was indeed extravagant, but the Jiang Clan should be able to afford it, right?
At worst, he could just let the child have "Jiang" in their name after birth.
[Ding! Host has successfully scammed the Jiang Clan of the Nine Heavens, earning 500 million Scam Points.]
Wait, what did I even do?
Jiang Che was baffled. He’d only had a thought—he hadn’t even acted on it yet. How could the system already judge him for scamming the Jiang Clan?
Wait, unless...
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. He might have just found a system loophole.
"I’m going to annihilate the Jiang Clan of the Nine Heavens."
[...]
No response from the system.
"I... I’m going to slaughter all of the Jiang Clan’s young masters."
[...]
Still no response.
"I’m going to kidnap Jiang Yueye, the Jiang Clan’s fairy-spirit-rooted celestial maiden, and make her my wife!"
[Ding! Host has scammed Jiang Yueye, earning 50 million Scam Points.]
Jiang Che’s eyes gleamed.
He understood now!
This Scam Points system had a judgment mechanism—it awarded points based on actions he was likely to commit in the future.
"System, if you’re giving me points now, but I don’t actually kidnap that woman in the future, wouldn’t that be an exploit?"
[If the host fails to fulfill the action in the future... the system will impose a penalty.]
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. "A penalty? What kind?"
This little system even had penalties?
[The... the system will morally condemn you.]
Jiang Che: "......"
What a brilliant "moral condemnation." Jiang Che couldn’t help but laugh.
But it did fit his personality.
......
"Come on, Little Yu’er, let’s go meet my Jiang Clan ancestors."
Jiang Che took Shen Yu’s hand.
Shen Yu stood up, her slender fingers tracing an incredibly complex array pattern on the desk before following Jiang Che out.
Her talent in array formations was nearly maxed out, and with the Ten-Aperture Exquisite Heart’s immense boost to her soul power... in just a few months, Shen Yu had already reached remarkable proficiency.
"Let’s make the Jiang Clan cough up a fortune."
Shen Yu lowered her eyes and nodded silently.
The moment they stepped out of the Dragon Palace, Jiang Che was immediately surrounded by a crowd.
They were all cultivators from the myriad clans of the Nine Heavens—some offering marriage proposals, others bearing gifts—but Jiang Che shooed them all away.
"Young Master, where are you headed? The young mistress is with child..." an elderly Jiang Clan member asked excitedly.
"Young Master, you’ve arrived just in time! The ancestors wished to examine the constitution of the child in the young mistress’s womb. With your immortal constitution, the offspring’s talent will surely be exceptional."
Jiang Che waved his hand. "I was just about to see the ancestors."
Time to make the old geezers cough up a fortune!
"Really? That’s wonderful!"
"Young Master, we’ll escort you!"
Right now, even the lower-ranked Jiang Clan members in the Nine Heavens were desperate to descend to the mortal realm—just to curry favor with the Young Master!
The entire Nine Heavens knew that Young Master Jiang possessed dual immortal constitutions and was currently the top candidate for the Heavenly Pride Ranking!
After all, the ranking only included cultivators from the Martial God to Nirvana realms!
Anyone who could win the Young Master’s favor would surely rise to greatness in the future.
Jiang Che ignored them, simply scooping Shen Yu into his arms and vanishing with a flicker of spatial law.
The crowd was left dumbfounded.
"Law manipulation??? The Young Master has comprehended laws???"
"Aren’t laws something only Martial Gods can grasp? How is the Young Master... Wait, has the Young Master broken through to Martial God???"
"That’s strange. Shouldn’t there have been a Martial God Tribulation?"
"Are you stupid? Our Young Master has dual immortal constitutions! The Void Immortal Constitution deceives heaven and earth—don’t you know that?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
