After stating the truth, Jia Mengluo's head was spinning.
She had actually stolen Ling'er's man? And now she even had to say it right to Ling'er's face. How shameless was that?
"Ling'er, punish me. I had no other choice."
Jia Mengluo lowered her eyes, her gaze full of self-blame and guilt.
"Hmm?" Jia Ling'er simply raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on her lips.
She then slowly pulled Jia Mengluo into her arms. "Mother, how could I blame you? You are my mother, the Empress of the entire Jialan Clan."
Jia Mengluo opened her eyes slightly and looked at Jia Ling'er in disbelief. But at the same time, she realized that her daughter had indeed known about her relationship with Jiang Che all along.
"Mother, of course I know about the relationship between you and Jiang Che. Actually, it's only human nature, hehe, I understand!"
Jia Ling'er smiled playfully. "Mother, it wasn't easy for you to raise me all by yourself, and you've been single for tens of thousands of years without finding a husband. Suddenly meeting a top-tier man like Jiang Che, naturally you couldn't control yourself."
Jia Mengluo's eyes widened. How was her daughter's words getting more and more outrageous?
"Ling'er!!! I am your mother, do not be disrespectful!"
Jia Ling'er, however, just made a face at her, clearly not treating her as a mother at all.
"From a certain perspective, after my bloodline completed its transformation earlier and my entire lineage was replaced, you ceased to be my mother by blood at that point!"
Jia Mengluo was speechless. She never knew her daughter had turned out like this.
"Hehe..." Jia Ling'er leaned close to Jia Mengluo and lowered her voice. "Mother, tell me, how is Jiang Che? He even gave you the Mermaid Immortal Mirror. It seems you are very favored by him!"
Inwardly, Jia Ling'er actually scoffed. Given her understanding of Jiang Che, this Mermaid Immortal Mirror was probably rented by him, right?
After all, it was an item worth 8 billion points. How could Jiang Che just give it away so easily? Unless her mother was pregnant with Jiang Che's child.
But... even she hadn't been able to conceive a baby yet, how could her mother possibly...
"Ling'er, I am pregnant with Jiang Che's child!"
Jia Ling'er: "......"
In an instant, the smile on Jia Ling'er's face froze.
She couldn't laugh anymore!
"Wh-what? You're pregnant with Jiang Che's child?!!"
Jia Mengluo looked at Jia Ling'er, infinite tenderness flashing in her eyes. She gently placed her delicate hand on her lower abdomen. "That's right, I am pregnant with Jiang Che's child. Although it hasn't even been seven days, I can already sense the fluctuations of life."
"Ling'er, you're going to have a younger sister or brother."
[Beep! The host has screwed over Jia Ling'er, gaining 100 million points.]
Jia Ling'er's mind exploded. Her mother had such insanely good luck? She was really pregnant with Jiang Che's child???
Pfft, pfft, pfft, what kind of daughter would talk about her mother like that?
But she still couldn't accept it!
"Ling'er, I have a premonition. The bloodline of the fetus in my womb will be unprecedentedly powerful, even enough to rival the Progenitor Mermaid Immortal."
Seeing that her daughter didn't mind, Jia Mengluo also started to share her joy.
But the expression on Jia Ling'er's little face grew increasingly sour.
"Ling'er, do you prefer a younger brother or a younger sister? It should be a sister. Jiang Che doesn't seem to like sons, so I feel like I'll definitely give birth to a daughter!"
Jia Mengluo cheered herself on, looking surprisingly playful like a little girl.
After all, her biggest psychological hurdle was now gone; Ling'er completely didn't mind her affair with Jiang Che.
"Mother, with your great figure, you are definitely cut out to have sons," Jia Ling'er said, her tone turning sour.
"Hmph, I don't want to have a son. Ling'er, you should work hard too!"
Jia Ling'er's mentality collapsed, but Jia Mengluo's next words made her completely explode on the spot!
"Ling'er, your figure isn't quite up to par. You need to hurry up and work hard. When the time comes, I, your mother, will help you out so the child won't go hungry..."
[Beep! The host has screwed over Jia Ling'er, gaining 100 million points.]
Jia Ling'er only felt that she had a lot of curses she wanted to say, but she couldn't utter a single word!
Profanities circled her own mother like a radius, every sentence an immortal killing move!
......
Because of the Mermaid Immortal Mirror, the upper echelons of the entire Jialan Clan completed their bloodline breakthroughs within just a few days.
Almost all the mermaid bloodlines above the Quasi-Emperor level completed their promotions.
With the elevation of their bloodlines, their cultivation naturally rose with the tide.
"Rumble—"
Above the Jialan ancestral land, a figure slowly descended. It was a middle-aged merman.
"Your Majesty! I have not failed my mission... Your subordinate has successfully broken through to the Immortal Realm!"
The middle-aged merman had a handsome face; he was a rare male merman with passable looks in the mermaid clan.
Jia Mengluo just cast an indifferent glance and nodded, not paying this guy any mind at all.
But this male merman felt an eagerness to try something.
His bloodline was inherently the strongest below the royal blood, and he was a mermaid prodigy from the same era as Jia Mengluo. He had always looked up to and admired Jia Mengluo immensely, but due to his bloodline... he was stuck at the peak of the Second-Life Emperor Realm for life.
However, a few days ago, after his bloodline was illuminated by the Mermaid Immortal Mirror, his bloodline strength soared in a straight line, and he made successive breakthroughs within just a few days!
He soared directly from the Second-Life Emperor Realm to a One-Tribulation Immortal, almost reaching the level of a high-tier royal bloodline. With his surging strength, a bit of arrogance and ambition also grew within him.
He felt... it was time to confess his love, and he finally had the qualifications to stand by Jia Mengluo's side!
Even just now, while bathing in the Immortal Tribulation, he had gone deep into the Thunder Tribulation Pool. Enduring the bombardment of thousands of lightning blades, he resolutely stepped into the pool and extracted a full several hundred drops of Thunder Tribulation Liquid. When he presented this Immortal-grade Thunder Tribulation Liquid to Her Majesty, he would surely win her favor.
However, at this moment, a beautiful figure walked in again. "Mother... don't run around."
The male merman's eyes went straight.
He was once the number one general of the Jialan Clan and had always adored Jia Mengluo. Although Jia Mengluo later gave birth to a daughter, it didn't matter, because Her Majesty reproduced parthenogenetically; she was always the pure and flawless one.
After Jia Ling'er grew up, he also developed feelings for this royal princess. Whoever could win over this mother-daughter pair would find their life complete!
But unfortunately, Jia Ling'er had already become Young Master Jiang's woman. Even if you peeled his skin off, he wouldn't dare to have any fantasies about Young Master Jiang's woman.
But now, there was still hope for Mengluo!
However, just as he was about to speak, the conversation between the mother and daughter completely dumbfounded him.
"Mother, here is an immortal fruit for you to taste. It's good for the baby in your womb..."
In just an instant, a feeling like being struck by five bolts of lightning poured directly into his entire body!
Ba... baby?
Her Majesty... is pregnant???

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!
