Taming

"This... this..."

When Di Zhao saw Gu Lingfei, she was completely dumbfounded. Her burning gaze fixed on Gu Lingfei's slightly bulging abdomen, and her brows furrowed slightly as if she was sensing something.

She actually couldn't deduce the fetus's fate marks?

In other words, the child Gu Lingfei was carrying was at least a top-tier Dao Body, absolutely not weaker than her own Destiny Dao Body and Tian Chan's Righteous and Evil Dao Body.

But how could this be possible?

A Dao Body was different from an Immortal Body. Although Immortal Bodies were rare, a large-scale Heavenly Dao could nurture one every ten thousand years. For example, in the Nine Heavens, the Nine Great Heaven Domains would give birth to at least nine Immortal Bodies every ten thousand years. Those with Immortal Bodies could easily become immortals... and immortals had lifespans starting at a hundred thousand years. This was why there were thousands of immortals in the Nine Heavens.

But a Dao Body was different. It was the absolute highest-tier physique derived from the Great Dao. Every Dao Body was closely connected to the Great Dao. For example, Tian Chan, being born with the Righteous and Evil Dao Womb, naturally possessed the Righteous Dao Origin. And she herself, born with the Destiny Dao Body, was bound to the Destiny Origin in her youth.

A Dao Body was hard to come by even in a million years. Even during the most prosperous era of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the number of Dao Bodies was pitifully small.

"How is it? Sister Di Zhao... is the baby in Sister Feifei's tummy a boy or a girl?" Qin Qiaoqiao kept calling her Sister Di Zhao, so even the usually cold and arrogant Di Zhao couldn't help but be moved.

"I don't know, but it should be a baby boy."

Di Zhao opened her eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through all illusions. "I saw the aura of the Great Dao crisscrossing. This kind of physique has never appeared in the long river of history."

"Ah? Is it that amazing?" Ye Mengyao swallowed hard; she was starting to want to get pregnant too.

Of course, she couldn't be blamed. Which girl in Young Master Jiang's harem wouldn't want to get pregnant?

"Woohoo~~~" Yu Wan'er smiled brightly. This family was finally going to have a baby boy. It wasn't easy!

On this immortal boat, apart from Jiang Che, everyone was a girl. There wasn't even a single male mosquito. After all, this was the cultivation world; even male mosquitoes had the possibility of becoming spirits, didn't they?

"Miss... Di Zhao, Little Che once said... the baby in my womb has the Great Dao Body." Gu Lingfei spoke up proactively. She didn't know how to address this imperial daughter; calling her Sister Di Zhao or Younger Sister Di Zhao didn't seem quite appropriate.

It was best to just call her Miss Di Zhao.

"Great Dao Body?" Di Zhao lowered her eyes, seemingly searching her memory, but ultimately shook her head. "Never heard of it."

"But a physique that dares to be named after the Great Dao is destined to be extraordinary!"

However, as she looked at Gu Lingfei's slightly bulging abdomen, her thoughts drifted far away. Now that the Ancient Heavenly Court had completely vanished into the river of history, she had been reduced to a wandering ghost of the old era.

Although she spoke of restoring the Immortal Court, she knew very well... even if Jiang Che truly established a Heavenly Court, it would never be the Heavenly Court in her memories. It was merely a beautiful dream.

Perhaps she could bear her husband an imperial son... or an imperial daughter, to continue the bloodline of the Heavenly Court... starting with herself!

"This is Shen Yu! She is also pregnant with Jiang Che's child!" Even Shen Yu was pulled over.

At this moment, most of Jiang Che's girls had gathered around.

Di Zhao fell silent!

Looking at these dozens of stunningly beautiful girls, each with unique features, a strong sense of sourness inexplicably welled up in her heart.

[I am jealous, I am envious, but so what?]

Di Zhao's heart was as clear as a mirror. She and Jiang Che didn't fall in love at first sight; rather, it was the work of destiny. They were destined Dao companions, and she... had always revered destiny as the absolute truth!

"Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Body! It's a pity that the Demonic Dao Origin has already been mastered by the disciple of the Demon Ancestor, otherwise, relying on the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Body would definitely win the favor of the Great Dao Origin."

A trace of expectation inexplicably rose in Di Zhao's heart. If she were to become pregnant with her husband's child... how heaven-defying would that be?

......

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang..."

Tian Chan stood up and took a jade bottle from Jiang Che's hand. The bottle was filled with top-grade Life-Extension Pills, easily dozens of them.

However, her voice was slightly hoarse, and her eyes were dull and lifeless, having lost their usual radiance.

She had earned a total of 30 Life-Extension Pills, and her mental state was now somewhat in a trance.

"Young Master Jiang... I still need to rush to the frontier battlefield. There is more than one Demon Emperor eyeing the demonic frontier..." Tian Chan suddenly thought of something and stored the Life-Extension Pills into her spatial ring.

She lowered her eyes to glance at the Shougongsha chastity mark on her wrist. It was piercingly scarlet. Although the mark was still there... it existed in name only.

"It's fine, go ahead," Jiang Che waved his hand. "Come to me if you need more Life-Extension Pills. Or you could try to persuade Sword Venerable Qinglian to give up the immortal wine... and accompany you to earn Life-Extension Pills."

Jiang Che was extremely thick-skinned. The immortal wine Sword Venerable Qinglian wanted was too expensive, easily starting at hundreds of millions of points. It was much more cost-effective to give out Life-Extension Pills. After all, giving these away was practically free for him.

Tian Chan lowered her head and silently turned to leave.

"Oh right, this is for you," Jiang Che called out to Tian Chan, then tossed an item to her.

The girl was stunned and instinctively caught the object. It was a spatial ring.

After probing it with her divine sense, Tian Chan's eyes widened.

It was actually the treasures from the Heavenly Court token? Not only did it contain the foundation accumulated by the Heavenly Dao Palace over hundreds of thousands of years, but even her share of the Heavenly Court's treasure had been returned completely untouched?

Honestly, she had already given up hope of ever getting it back. She never expected... that Jiang Che would actually discover his conscience???

"Look at you crying like that. A dignified Immortal Venerable actually likes to cry?" Jiang Che sneered.

Tian Chan had cried quite a bit over the past few days; her mentality had completely collapsed.

[Beep! The host scammed Tian Chan, gaining 2 billion points.]

Tian Chan remained silent, merely raising her eyes to look at Jiang Che.

She wasn't stupid. Of course, she knew Jiang Che was doing this on purpose. Using the stick and carrot approach, he was taming her.

But... so what if she saw through it?

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang!"

...

After Tian Chan left.

"Is this girl made of water? Her tears flow like they're free."

Jiang Che was speechless. Who would have thought... the dignified master of the Heavenly Palace and leader of the righteous path would secretly be such a crybaby?

However, since this little Tian Chan had been thoroughly tamed, there was naturally no need for him to continue tormenting her. It wouldn't be good if it turned into a chasing the wife in the crematorium trope later. Of course... with Jiang Che's personality, chasing her was impossible; carrying her back by force was more like it.

"Oh right, where is Di Zhao?"

Jiang Che suddenly remembered. He couldn't give the imperial daughter the cold shoulder. She kept calling him husband and had even gifted him a car and a house!

In the end, he had brought her back to the immortal boat and then completely ignored her. Only Young Master Jiang could do something like this.
