Will Jiamengluo confess everything to Jia Ling'er

Somewhere on the Immortal Boat.

"Yueye, you are pregnant now... Living all alone can easily take a toll on your mind. Why don't you move back into the Immortal Boat?"

Jiang Che arrived at Jiang Yueye's residence.

As an ancestor who had been hidden away by the Jiang family for a hundred thousand years, Jiang Yueye had a rather quiet and reserved personality. Even though she was married to Jiang Che, she found it difficult to blend into the small circle of his harem. Much like Wang Yanran... she preferred to spend time with Jiang Che in silent companionship.

But now... Jiang Yueye was actually pregnant too.

"Here, these are all delicacies made by Immortal Chef Hua. I brought a lot for you."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Che summoned an endless array of exquisite dishes.

By now, Immortal Chef Hua had become the exclusive chef aboard Jiang Che's Immortal Boat. He cooked at least a thousand dishes a day, working as hard as the ultimate corporate slave.

Jiang Yueye lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering. She hadn't expected to conceive so quickly, but since she was already pregnant... she naturally had to prepare herself to be a mother.

"I'm planning to return to the Jiang family," Jiang Yueye said slowly. "I need to inform them about the child in my womb."

Her father was an Immortal of the Jiang family... the Seventh Ancestor!

From a certain perspective, the baby in her womb was the true, orthodox bloodline of the Jiang family.

Although Jiang Che was nominally of the Jiang family's bloodline, it had long since worn incredibly thin. He only carried the family name in title alone.

"Alright, I'll go with you," Jiang Che said, wrapping an arm around her waist.

...

"What??? Young Master Jiang is coming to visit our family?"

The old patriarch of the Jiang family instantly grew excited upon hearing the news. They hadn't seen Jiang Che in months.

"That's right, I heard a rumor... Old Seven Jiang's daughter is pregnant with Young Master Jiang's child!" another Jiang family Immortal whispered.

"What?!!! Yueye is pregnant with Jiang Che's child?"

In an instant, the gazes of the many Immortals turned toward the Seventh Ancestor. He immediately let out a chuckle, flashing a smug, boastful smile.

"Just a stroke of luck! Just a stroke of luck! What can I say, my daughter just has great fortune in pregnancy!"

Seeing Old Seven Jiang's humblebragging, the other Immortals wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear that smug look right off his face.

"I just wonder if it will be a boy or a girl, but it doesn't matter... Young Master Jiang's bloodline won't be anything less than extraordinary," the Jiang Patriarch remarked.

"Old Seven, you've done a great merit. With Yueye and this future descendant, we've finally truly established a solid connection with Jiang Che."

Initially, they had only thought of Jiang Che as a junior worth investing in. After all, when these ancestors first heard his name... it was because of his Chaotic Immortal Body.

But now... in just a few short years, Jiang Che had grown to such a terrifying level!

A few years was nothing but the blink of an eye for many high-level cultivators.

Recently, riding on Jiang Che's coattails, the Jiang family had faintly become the single most powerful family in the entire Nine Heavens, bar none!

Even those transcendent, top-tier sects and aristocratic families had to tread carefully around them.

The Lifespan Extension Pills essentially held the lifeline of all Immortals in the world!

"Sigh, it's a pity I don't have a beautiful daughter, otherwise—" the Thirteenth Ancestor sighed.

"A few days ago, Jiang Che made huge news again. He even managed to conquer the Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace."

"It's truly enviable. That's a Supreme Immortal Emperor!"

...

Soon, Jiang Che arrived at the Jiang family estate with Jiang Yueye in tow.

Naturally, the Jiang family offered them a unanimous and grand welcome!

"Yueyue... I heard you're carrying Young Master Jiang's child?" Old Seven Jiang approached Jiang Yueye, rubbing his hands together in excitement.

Jiang Yueye gave a quiet nod.

"I don't have anything good on hand right now. Almost all of the Jiang family's treasures were given to Young Master Jiang a long time ago, so I can only offer you my verbal blessings."

Old Seven Jiang patted his pockets, wanting to give them something, but upon checking... a dignified Immortal didn't even have a single Holy-grade Spirit Stone. It was incredibly shabby.

The rest of the Jiang family Immortals were in a similar situation.

The Jiang family had long been bled dry by Jiang Che. After Jiang Che started the Lifespan Extension Pill business, the Jiang family had been managing that end of the operations. However, all the Spirit Stones they earned were handed over to Jiang Che. To them... immortality was far more useful than any resource!

"There's no need," Jiang Che waved his hand.

It was a bit unrealistic to expect these old fogeys to cough up any more cash.

"Yueyue said she wanted to stay with the Jiang family for a while, so I just happened to escort her here."

"Young Master Jiang, would you like to come in and sit for a bit?"

Jiang Che raised his hand in refusal.

In truth, he mainly wanted to come out and relax. After all, staying in the Immortal Boat all this time had nearly drained him dry. Seafood was delicious... but eating too much of it could easily lead to gout!

"When Yueye gives birth in the future, if it's a boy, I'll leave him in the care of the Jiang family."

As soon as Jiang Che said this, the numerous Immortals instantly grew thrilled.

If it was a boy, he would be entrusted to the Jiang family to raise?

This was like an ancient emperor entrusting his crown prince to his ministers to raise. What a tremendous honor!

"Rest assured, Young Master Jiang. Our Jiang family is willing to lay down our lives for you."

The Jiang Patriarch spoke up. Having tasted the sweet benefits, the Jiang family chose complete and utter submission.

...

The Southern Deep Sea Region.

"We of the Jialan Clan pledge to follow Her Majesty the Empress!"

In the sacred land of the Jialan Clan, countless clansmen were kneeling and bowing to a woman with a breathtakingly beautiful face.

The blonde-haired Jia Mengluo was dressed in imperial robes, a look of absolute dominion over the world resting between her brows, the train of her robe trailing endlessly behind her.

"Please rise, everyone," Jia Mengluo said in an even tone.

It wasn't just the Jialan Clan kneeling to her; almost the entire Southern Sea Region had fallen under the clan's jurisdiction. Even the Supreme Immortal Clans had to treat them with the utmost respect. Who could blame them, when Jia Mengluo's daughter was married to Jiang Che?

Now, by day, Jia Mengluo was the esteemed Empress of the Jialan Clan. But by night... she was nothing more than a bed-warming maid for her master, Jiang Che.

However, she had now successfully elevated her status because she was pregnant.

At the thought of carrying Jiang Che's child in her womb, Jia Mengluo's emotions became incredibly complicated. Ling'er probably still didn't know about this news; she didn't even know about her relationship with Jiang Che.

But how long could a pregnancy stay hidden?

Even if an Immortal fetus developed slowly, what about a few centuries from now?

She wouldn't be able to hide it then. It would be better to take the initiative and confess to Ling'er. Actually, Jiang Che might be right—Ling'er had probably already guessed the relationship between them, but had simply chosen not to expose it.

Since Ling'er happened to return to the Jialan Clan for a visit today, perhaps she really should come clean with her.

[Beep! Host has schemed against the Jialan Empress. Rewarded 1 billion points!]

Jia Mengluo, whose cultivation had once been merely at the Quasi-Immortal realm, had now been meticulously nourished by Jiang Che into a Second Tribulation Immortal!~
