Regarding Yu Wan'er drawing the jade lot, many girls, including Ye Mengyao, felt very conflicted inside.
Yu Wan'er was already quite favored. If she were to have a baby now... Jiang Che's doting on her would undoubtedly skyrocket.
A thick wave of jealousy spread through the air.
Especially Bai Jie; the look in this girl's eyes as she glanced at Yu Wan'er seemed to carry a hint of something strange.
"Uh... I... I..."
Yu Wan'er was feeling quite flustered. While getting pregnant might be a tremendous piece of good news for the other girls around Jiang Che, she herself didn't want it.
This was a hot potato.
[Hey, hey, hey, Jiang Che, I know it must be your doing. Help me out here... I don't want to have a baby, at least not now!]
Yu Wan'er was clever. A tree that stands out gets the wind. Although the girls around Jiang Che wouldn't likely take action against her, they saw each other every day, and occasionally even teamed up for games... Would they still be able to get along friendly and happily afterwards?
[Tsk tsk, who can you blame for your own good 'pregnancy luck'?]
Jiang Che transmitted his voice. He would absolutely never admit that he had just secretly played a trick.
Yu Wan'er's luck wasn't that good, of course. It was Jiang Che deliberately messing with her... making her draw the lot, just to see her reaction.
[Jiang Che, help me! I don't want to get pregnant so early, and you don't want your 'backyard' to catch fire either, right? I'll have one for you later, okay? I'll give you a whole soccer team... just not now!]
Yu Wan'er's voice even turned soft and pleading. After all, if Jiang Che was truly determined to make her have a baby, could she refuse?
But having a baby... just thinking about it was terrifying.
"Heh—"
Jiang Che chuckled lightly. He was just messing with her; he wasn't actually planning to make this girl have a baby.
[I'll put it on your tab!]
Upon hearing Jiang Che's words, Yu Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted.
"I... I've been feeling a bit unwell lately. I don't... don't want to have a child. This opportunity... how about giving it to the other sisters?"
Yu Wan'er raised her small hand.
It must be said, her saying this directly earned her quite a bit of goodwill from many of the girls, especially those who wanted to secure their future.
"Alright, one person out. Is there anyone else who doesn't want to draw a lot? But let me remind you, if you opt out this time... the next chance might be a thousand years from now, or even ten thousand years later!" Jiang Che snapped his fingers.
After he finished speaking, the girls whispered and discussed among themselves for a while.
Then, Su Mianmian stepped forward. "Um... hubby dear, I'll wait for the next time! Hehe... sisters, I won't compete with you all."
As Su Mianmian stood up, she also picked up the cat, Huangdoufen, that she was holding.
"Huang... Huangdoufen is also a bit silly. Even if she had a baby, she probably wouldn't know how to take care of it, so I'll decline on her behalf, okay?" Su Mianmian said with an awkward expression.
Three out!
Twenty left!
Although Xiao Wanwan was somewhat reluctant, her own elder sister forcefully dragged her, not letting her leave.
As for Dong'er, it goes without saying; she recognized only Jiang Che.
...
For the second round of drawing lots, Jiang Che did not interfere at all, leaving it purely to 'pregnancy luck'!
Meanwhile, Yu Wan'er stayed by Jiang Che's side, becoming an onlooker munching on melon seeds, holding a plump, juicy immortal peach in her arms.
The little peach spirit Yaoyao, being an immortal tree, even though she had taken human form... was not among the participants.
Although Jiang Che could be quite a scoundrel, he wasn't to the point of letting Yaoyao get involved.
[My husband... your concubine also wishes to bear your child!]
Hearing the bell-like voice by his ear, Jiang Che's mouth twitched. This little heartless one also wanted to have a baby?
"What business does a ghost have joining in the fun!"
Hearing this, Mo Lianxing directly emerged from the Spirit Nurturing Ring, materializing out of thin air and throwing herself into Jiang Che's embrace, providing a solid, tangible sensation.
Soft jade in his arms, enough to stir one's wild thoughts.
"Your concubine is no longer a ghost now! I already have a physical body!"
Mo Lianxing smiled cunningly.
Although she was a soul, she was still Jiang Che's woman. When they were mass-producing immortal bodies before, they naturally gave Mo Lianxing an extremely special immortal body as well.
[Bone Spirit Immortal Body: The most desired immortal body for all soul entities. The cultivation speed in soul form far surpasses that in physical form!]
"Oh? Reached the tenth level of the Creation Realm? So you went into closed-door cultivation? What's the deal... do you want to turn the tables and harm your own husband?" Jiang Che teased with a smirk.
"How would your servant dare?" Mo Lianxing pretended to be timid, even acting coquettishly.
Jiang Che didn't speak. This woman's current strength was far beyond what he could control.
He was only at the peak of the Martial God stage now, and his cultivation speed was getting slower and slower. Meanwhile, Mo Lianxing had already been at the half-step Creation Realm in her soul form, and she had accumulated many insights from thousands of years of closed-door cultivation in the Spirit Nurturing Ring. After obtaining the Ancient Spirit Immortal Body, she directly experienced a massive breakthrough!
The Heavenly Dao's wool had been completely sheared by Jiang Che by now, so naturally, no heavenly tribulation descended. Thus, Mo Lianxing was now only one step away from the Quasi-Emperor realm.
......
The lottery results were out.
Unfortunately, Lady Luck still did not favor Bai Jie. The young girl's face was flushed with a very unpleasant expression.
"Wanwan, I didn't get it again!"
"Big sister didn't get it either. Our luck is too poor. It seems drawing lots isn't suitable for us!"
The faces of Xiao Sisi and Xiao An'an were also quite disappointed. They had thought that being triplets... their three-fold chance of winning should be one in seven, a pretty high probability, but none of them got it.
"Well then, I didn't draw it either!" Qin Qiaoqiao spread her hands and stuck out her little tongue.
"Me neither. Qiangwei, did you get it?" Ye Mengyao looked at Qiangwei beside her, who also shook her head.
Jia Ling'er from the Ninth Heaven side wasn't too upset, because even without a baby, she had her own secret weapon. Once she deployed it... Jiang Che's affection for her would definitely soar!
The little snake spirit Chi Nai was also quite disappointed. She didn't even know why she felt disappointed, but her heart just felt very uncomfortable.
"Feifei, check yours? Mine's not it... what a shame. I actually quite wanted to have a baby for this brat." Ji Ningxue poked Gu Lingfei beside her.
"Me? When I was a kid buying drinks, it was always 'Thank You for Your Patronage'... let alone... uh..."
Gu Lingfei said half-jokingly as she took out her jade lot, then her whole body went numb.
"Wow! Feifei, you hit the jackpot!"
Ji Ningxue got excited, as if she herself had won.
Gu Lingfei looked at the jade lot in her hand with great astonishment. An indescribable feeling spread in her heart.
It was complicated, even a bit absurd. The woman looked towards Jiang Che, who was gazing back at her with a faint, ambiguous smile.
She had only mentioned the matter of pregnancy in passing yesterday. How did she end up drawing the lot today?
When it came to luck, Gu Lingfei never believed in it... because her luck had always been terrible.
"Wow! Sister Feifei... I knew your 'pregnancy luck' was good!" Qin Qiaoqiao rushed in front of Gu Lingfei and started fawning over her.
"Uh... no... not really, we just drew the lot..."
Gu Lingfei only felt her head was spinning. Was she excited? It didn't seem like she was all that excited.
If she had to describe it, it was probably more like happiness.
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. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
