"What?! Drawing lots to decide who gets pregnant?!"
"Has Jiang Che's brain been kicked by a donkey?" Yu Wan'er felt her scalp go numb when she heard the news.
Isn't this way too reckless?
If she got pregnant and had a baby, and later when the child grew up and asked her... why, out of so many 'aunties,' she was the one who had a baby, how should she explain it?
You were actually picked by drawing a lot?
Just thinking about it felt utterly awkward.
"Wan'er, I think it's fine, this should be the best method," Qin Qiaoqiao chimed in from the side.
The young girl's eyes were sparkling. While she wasn't particularly fixated on having a baby, the thrill of it was exciting!
Of course, if she could get pregnant... that would be even better, to be the one with the best 'luck' among the twenty-plus girls.
"And think about it, once one of the sisters gets pregnant and has a baby, that baby will absolutely be the group's favorite! They'll definitely call all of us 'aunties,' wow... instant motherhood!"
Qin Qiaoqiao's eyes were shining so brightly that Yu Wan'er was left speechless.
She's a lost cause. Sister Qiaoqiao's head is completely filled with Jiang Che now. Any worse and she'd probably turn into Bai Jie.
...
Jiang Che convened a family meeting!
A family conference concerning the Jiang Family's second-child policy. All the girls were present.
Of course, except for the Jialan Empress!
Although Jiang Che had... been with the Empress, it wasn't entirely... well, it was complicated!
The atmosphere was rather awkward for a moment.
But fortunately, Jiang Che's skin was thick enough. As long as he wasn't embarrassed... the embarrassment belonged to others.
To be honest, even Jiang Che felt a bit like a scoundrel.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, Bai Jie, Bai Qiangwei—these girls from the earliest group were all whispering among themselves, especially Bai Jie... when she heard Jiang Che's plan for a second child, her eyes lit up!!!
She was absolutely the girl who most wanted to have Jiang Che's baby, bar none!
The triplets Xiao Sisi, Xiao An'an, and Xiao Wanwan also seemed to be discussing.
"Wanwan, An'an, there are three of us sisters, the odds are high!" Xiao Sisi clenched her small fist, looking eager to try.
"Sis..." Xiao Wanwan was also speechless. Although she had developed feelings for Jiang Che... she really didn't want to get pregnant now. After all, she was still so young... The idea of a child gave her an inexplicable sense of fear; she still felt like a child herself...
Even Huang Doufen and Dong'er were dragged along.
Huang Doufen had taken human form. This carefree little cat-girl was lying in Su Mianmian's arms playing with her own tail, her fluffy cat ears twitching. She didn't even know why she had to come... she was just pulled over by Su Mianmian, also a cat-girl.
Su Mianmian rubbed Huang Doufen's little head with a headache. She wasn't particularly keen on getting pregnant either... her personality was more easygoing, preferring quiet places.
What gave her more of a headache was: what if the lot fell on Huang Doufen later?
The young girl looked at the silly, adorable girl in her arms and felt a major headache. She had been raising Huang Doufen like a daughter.
Even Chen Ningshuang, who had been in seclusion, came out. This woman originally possessed the Ten Thousand Calamities Immortal Body, and later was gifted another immortal body by Jiang Che. The talent of dual immortal bodies allowed her cultivation to break through to the Martial God stage early!
She was quietly becoming the strongest in the harem.
However, she also had no particular thoughts about pregnancy.
...
Jia Ling'er and the other mermaids from the Nine Heavens began to huddle together for warmth.
Two camps were almost clearly formed.
"Wow, I want to have Master Jiang's baby!" Qing'er's watery eyes sparkled. She was a hopeless little fangirl.
These few little mermaids who descended from the Nine Heavens had no one to rely on, no parents... they could only depend entirely on Jiang Che, so the temptation of pregnancy and having a child was great for them.
"Having a baby..." Jia Ling'er's pretty face flushed slightly. She was only 38 years old in marriageable age, converted according to the Jialan tribe's maiden age... she was actually younger than Qing'er and the others. If she got pregnant...
In a corner, a girl with black and white long hair looked somewhat flustered at the girls around her.
Chi Nai, this beautiful little snake girl from the Crimson Refining Gold Python tribe, was also rather apprehensive. Originally planning to descend to assassinate Jiang Che, she had somehow been dragged onto this pirate ship and now couldn't get off at all. She was even lonelier than Qing'er and the others; at least they could huddle together for warmth, while she was all alone.
......
"Actually, the suggestion to draw lots to decide who gets pregnant was proposed by Wan'er."
As soon as Jiang Che spoke, Yu Wan'er couldn't hold back.
Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean I proposed it?!
Don't think you can dump all the blame on me just because I seem easy to bully!
Yu Wan'er shot Jiang Che a fierce glare but silently lowered her head. With so many sisters here, this blame... she had to shoulder it whether she wanted to or not!
[You big jerk!!! I curse you to have a daughter who gets whisked away by some blond punk on a ghost scooter!]
......
"Actually, you all know me, I didn't want children too early. But ever since Shen Yu got pregnant with the Dao Body, they've been pestering me... I have no choice but to have another one to get them off my back!"
Jiang Che was playing the ultimate non-stick pot!
Shoving all the dirty and hard work onto others.
As for the child's upbringing later, Jiang Che had already thought it through: if they're cute when little, keep them around to play with; if they become mischievous when older, just toss them to the Jiang Family in the Nine Heavens. Let them eat the Jiang Family's food, use the Jiang Family's resources, and let the Jiang Family take responsibility for any trouble they cause. Easy and hassle-free!
If it's a little darling daughter, that's a different story!
"So we're using a draw to decide!"
With that, Jiang Che took out a box of jade slips.
Yu Wan'er, Qin Qiaoqiao, Ye Mengyao, Bai Jie, Bai Qiangwei, Chen Ningshuang, Dong'er, Huang Doufen, Su Mianmian, Shen Yu, Wang Yanran, Ji Ningxue, Gu Lingfei, Leng Ningqiu, and the triplet girls.
And Jia Ling'er and the other five mermaids, plus Chi Nai and the other girls from the Nine Heavens.
Excluding Shen Yu, there were 23 jade slips in total, with only one having a mark. Let's see who has the best 'pregnancy luck'!
Soon, the girls drew their slips with immense trepidation.
It's no exaggeration to say, some were overjoyed, some were dismayed. For example, Bai Jie—when she saw her jade slip... her expression instantly froze, filled with utter disappointment!
As for Yu Wan'er, her little face turned deathly pale!
"N-no way??? It's me???"
As soon as she said this, the gazes of all the women instantly turned towards her.
Yu Wan'er flusteredly hid the jade slip behind her back. Under the multitude of stares... cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.
[Hey, hey, hey, Jiang Che, did you rig this? You definitely did it on purpose, right? I don't want to get pregnant... you need to help me out here!]
The little loli's palms were sweaty. She clearly knew she was already quite favored. If she got pregnant on top of that... not to mention whether her petite frame could even give birth, the other girls would definitely become envious.
She absolutely did not want to be the one to stick her neck out!
She's still a kid herself! She'd struggle to lay an egg, let alone give birth to a baby!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
