Chapter 772: Shen Jianjia: What are your plans for this child?

“Puff!”

Lu Changsheng swung the Mountain-Moving Whip in his hand forward, like clouds breaking to reveal the sun.

The air buzzed and howled as it struck the mutated creature in front of him, sending it flying sideways, its chest collapsed and shattered, a bloody mess.

“Lu Changsheng, your strength?”

Yun Wanchang could tell that this mutated creature was terrifying, having already reached the third tier, yet it was sent flying by Lu Changsheng’s whip, almost killed.

This was simply astonishing.

Moreover, this whip of his seemed to be swung out so simply.

“Real Person, as you know, besides Qi refining, I also practice body refinement.

Even if my Qi and blood mana are dormant now, my physical body is still there.”

Seeing Yun Wanchang’s surprised and astonished look, Lu Changsheng thought that this Real Person Caiyun was truly interesting, and then grinned with a hearty and frank smile.

“…”

Yun Wanchang knew that Lu Changsheng had practiced both Dharma and body in his early years.

However, body refinement consumed more and more resources as it reached a certain stage, and most people only practiced it as a side skill to increase their self-preservation ability.

How could Lu Changsheng be so exaggerated?

The strength of his physique probably reached the peak of the third tier, right?

Over a hundred years old, not only at the peak of Core Formation, but also with a physique at the peak of the third tier?

Even though Yun Wanchang was a genius of the Azure Cloud Sect in her early years and had seen many geniuses, she was still struck by Lu Changsheng’s monstrous talent and couldn’t help but doubt her life.

She realized that she had only understood his pig-breeding side before, and had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg regarding his other aspects.

Yun Wanchang gently “hmm”ed, without asking any further questions, and then let her Golden Armor Guards step forward to deal with this mutated creature.

The fact that these three Golden Armor Guards could be brought out by Yun Wanchang showed that their strength was extraordinary.

But after coming out this time, from seeing Qian Zhuyan, and then Lu Changsheng, they were all stunned and began to doubt their lives.

They didn’t expect that their City Lord actually knew such fierce people from beyond the heavens.

If this continued, it was estimated that before long, their Azure Cloud City would leap to become a top-tier city in the Land of Eternal Night, unmatched by anyone.

Their gazes towards Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan became more and more respectful.

With the addition of Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, and three top-tier third-tier puppets, Yun Wanchang’s trip was incredibly smooth.

It was just that the harvest could only be considered average, and they did not obtain any top-tier rare spiritual objects.

This day, as they were preparing to go back for a temporary rest, Lu Changsheng suddenly saw several strands of colorful flowing light looming in the black mist ahead.

He went forward to check and saw a flower with golden, azure, and red three-colored glows quietly growing, its petals crystal clear, shimmering with colorful light, obviously not simple.

“This is a Three-Colored Flower, once it matures and is consumed, it can restore some mana!”

Yun Wanchang stepped forward, instantly recognizing this spiritual flower, and said with joy, then immediately looked alert, signaling Lu Changsheng to be careful.

This Land of Eternal Night was similar to many places in the cultivation world, and next to such rare spiritual products, there was likely to be a mutated creature or some kind of strange guardian.

“Below!”

This strange creature was hidden very deep, under the soil of the Three-Colored Flower, with the spirituality of the Three-Colored Flower concealing it, making it difficult for others to detect.

But the Sun and Moon Two Forms Profound Light Mirror in Lu Changsheng’s arms warned him in the first instance.

“Lu Changsheng, be careful, this Three-Colored Flower has not completely matured, don’t hurt it, I’ll take care of it.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchang immediately circulated her mana, her eyes like stars, her pupils flowing with colorful light, looking towards the ground, a light golden Dharma sword appearing in her hand, killing towards the strange creature hidden under the Three-Colored Flower.

Although her frontal combat power was not as good as Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, her combat power was extraordinary when using mana.

After a sword strike, her left hand surged with brilliant luster, and a palm struck out, which was some kind of Heavenly Light Strength.

With a miserable scream, a terrifying ghost face appeared, rushing towards Yun Wanchang.

“Puff!”

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan immediately took action, killing this ghost face, turning it into a puff of smoke, and then dropping a thumb-sized emerald green crystal.

“Xiao Yan.”

Lu Changsheng knew that this emerald green crystal was useful to Qian Zhuyan and could enhance her puppet spirit soul, so he gave her all the crystals harvested from encountering strange creatures this time.

Although this soul crystal was also useful to Yun Wanchang, it could be used to activate talismans in place of mana, set up formations, and be inlaid on some armor and weapons.

But since it was useful to Qian Zhuyan, she did not compete for it, and even gave her the soul crystals on her body.

“This Three-Colored Flower should still have a month before it matures, let’s wait here.”

Yun Wanchang looked at the Three-Colored Flower in front of her for a moment and said to Lu Changsheng.

In the cultivation world, when encountering rare spiritual plants and herbs, they could be ripened or transplanted by spiritual plant masters.

But in the Land of Eternal Night, there was no such condition.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, most of the time they would wait for it to mature, and if they had to wait for a long time, they would set up a formation to conceal it, and then come back when the time was almost up.

“Okay.”

Although Lu Changsheng wanted to leave the Land of Eternal Night as soon as possible, he knew that he had to restore his mana to leave through the Heavenly Light.

Immediately, he looked at the Three-Colored Flower in front of him with anticipation, curious about how much dormant mana it could awaken.

At the same time, Star Sea, Goddess Palace.

Deep within the Goddess Hall, in the empty palace, crystal jade pillars bloomed with spiritual light, intertwined with the runes on the white jade walls, forming a kind of peaceful, mysterious, and sacred aura.

On the central ice jade bed, surrounded by cold air, three beautiful and stunning goddess figures loomed.

Shen Jianjia wore a gorgeous palace dress that flowed like a galaxy, sitting cross-legged, suppressing the medicinal effects of the Fairy Tears for her two sisters, who were bathed in starlight.

It could be seen that her immortal appearance, her dignified and beautiful face, could not hide her fatigue and haggardness.

Sitting cross-legged in front of her, Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren, who seemed to be wearing luxurious star dresses, also had pale faces, and fine beads of sweat constantly oozed from their smooth foreheads, soaking their loose black hair.

If you looked closely, you could see that not only their foreheads, but also their slender necks and delicate collarbones, were covered in fine pink sweat.

The effect of Fairy Tears was extremely overbearing.

Even though the two women, one a Nascent Soul cultivator and the other at the peak of Core Formation, had already detoxified a lot, this process was still incomparably tormenting.

Seeing her sisters like this, Shen Jianjia’s clear spring-like eyes were full of heartache, and her Nascent Soul mana enveloped their bodies, reducing their pain.

At this time, Shen Baishuang exhaled a pink fragrance, opened her beautiful eyes, turned her head to look at her haggard and tired sister, her eyes full of guilt and self-blame.

“Sister…”

Although she was affected by Fairy Tears and her consciousness was immersed in the sea of desire, she still had vague memories.

She knew the general process and knew how much her sister had paid to suppress the residual effects of Fairy Tears in her and her little sister’s bodies.

“Pa!”

A crisp sound rang out.

Shen Baishuang was directly sent flying sideways from the ice jade bed, falling to the ground, her cheeks red, and a little blood flowing from the corners of her lips.

Shen Jianjia looked at this sister with a cold expression.

Although she spent great mana to help the two detoxify, it did not mean that she had no anger in her heart.

Since she had done such a wrong thing, she, as the older sister, naturally had to teach and punish her!

This was only her own sister, otherwise, anyone else would have been killed by her with a single palm strike.

Shen Baishuang covered her cheeks, without saying a word.

Although she had a bold and domineering personality, she completely dared not talk back to her sister Shen Jianjia.

Especially in this matter, she even schemed against her sister Shen Yiren.

“Sister, don’t.”

Hearing the noise, Shen Yiren opened her beautiful eyes, and seeing that her eldest sister was still going to attack her second sister, she immediately grabbed her wrist and spoke to persuade her.

This Third Palace Mistress seemed much more haggard, her pale cheeks lacking her usual elegance, her pear dimples gentle, and her radiant gaze even more wooden and lifeless.

“Eldest sister, it was second sister’s fault in this matter.”

Shen Baishuang saw the look in her little sister’s eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately stepped forward to apologize to her sister, saying softly, “I shouldn’t have been so blinded by greed as to plot against you. At the time, I saw—”

As she spoke, seeing her sister silent, her expression dim, and her eyes red-rimmed, Shen Baishuang gritted her teeth and said, “You can hit me or scold me, and I, your older sister, will accept it.”

However, seeing that her sister still ignored her, looking completely lost, she directly slapped her own fair and delicate cheek.

“What is Second Sister doing?”

Even though Shen Yiren knew that her older sister was using a self-inflicted wound strategy, she still couldn’t bear it and grasped her sister’s white wrist, sighing softly.

“Second Sister was temporarily muddled and committed such a mistake. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, little sister, but only hope that your heart will feel a little better.”

Shen Baishuang knew that her little sister was kind-hearted, so she lowered her stance and employed a self-inflicted wound strategy.

After speaking, thinking about how her scheme failed and she suffered the consequences, and how she was wantonly played with by Daoist Xuanmu at the time, a surge of sadness and shame welled up in her heart, and her eyes turned red as she began to cry.

She, a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Second Palace Master of the Divine Maiden Palace, and the Madam of the Master of Casting Sword Manor, was actually treated like this by a Core Formation cultivator…

“How muddled is Second Sister? Daoist Xuanmu is focused on the Great Dao, and he has reached this point from humble beginnings. How could he be easily manipulated by such means?”

Shen Yiren had never seen her Second Sister, Shen Baishuang, like this before, and she couldn’t bear it, sighing softly.

“I thought that you and he were mutually in love, only one step away, so I resorted to this inferior tactic. Moreover, the situation at the time was as I expected. He clearly cherished you, little sister, but towards me, he was…”

As she spoke, Shen Baishuang’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, thinking about how Daoist Xuanmu was affectionate and gentle towards her little sister, Shen Yiren, but much more rough towards herself.

“Older sister plotted against him, yet you still expect him to treat you gently?”

Shen Yiren frowned and said, looking at her Second Sister’s naked form, her Divine Maiden jade body full and voluptuous, she felt that Daoist Xuanmu’s affection for her Second Sister at the time surpassed her own.

However, as she looked at her Second Sister’s Divine Maiden jade body, she also felt that the other’s body was even more alluring…

Daoist Xuanmu was affected by the Fairy Tears at the time, how could he have restrained himself?

“He treated us sisters like this, and you’re still speaking up for him?”

Shen Baishuang said somewhat displeased.

Shen Yiren’s jade face slightly paused, and she said softly, “Right is right, wrong is wrong. In this matter, you, Second Sister, plotted against others first.”

However, seeing her Second Sister’s sad and self-reproaching appearance, she didn’t continue to speak, sighing softly, “The matter has already happened, so let it be.”

Then, she looked towards her Eldest Sister, Shen Jianjia, whose jade face was haggard and tired, and said, “Older sister, you’ve worked hard these days.”

“Alas.”

Shen Jianjia extended her flawless white jade hand and gently stroked her little sister’s soft and moving cheek.

Chastity, for cultivators, can be light or heavy.

Many men and women maintain their primordial yang and yin bodies purely for cultivation.

But she knew her little sister, Shen Yiren’s, personality, which was relatively conservative.

Now that such a thing had happened, having a relationship with a man, how could she be calm?

What’s more… while helping her little sister suppress the Fairy Tears, she discovered that her little sister was pregnant!

Her first instinct was to abort the child.

But thinking about her little sister, Shen Yiren’s, character, if such a thing happened, having this child might be helpful to her, perhaps making her a bit stronger.

Moreover, after fighting with Daoist Xuanmu before, she deeply realized that this person was not simple.

Once he broke through the Nascent Soul Heavenly Barrier, he would transform into a true dragon!

Even she was unwilling to antagonize such a person.

Before leaving at the time, this person said that in the future, after breaking through to Nascent Soul, he would return to the Divine Maiden Palace to marry her little sister.

If her little sister had any intention in this regard, she, as the older sister, would be happy to see it happen.

And if there was a child between the two of them, there would be an extra bond between them.

Of course, she was not like Shen Baishuang; all decisions were made by her little sister, Shen Yiren, herself, and no matter what she did, she would support her.

“Little sister, what are your plans?”

Shen Jianjia glanced at her little sister’s flat abdomen and said softly.

Shen Yiren paused, then slowly extended her hand and gently pressed it on her own abdomen.

After a moment, she slightly raised her head and said softly, “The child is innocent. What happened before was not Daoist Xuanmu’s fault. I hope you, older sister, will not blame him.”

Although she only had a good impression of Lu Changsheng, she was still one step away from being moved.

But she had a scale in her heart, knowing that the mistake in this matter lay with her Second Sister, not the other party.

Daoist Xuanmu, like herself, was a victim.

Although this child was sudden, causing her to be astonished, no matter what, it was still her child.

Moreover, thinking about how she would soon be attacking the Nascent Soul stage, she didn’t know if such a thing would cause her to fall under the heart demon tribulation, just like Senior Brother Jing Qing.

If she had this child, she could also add another bloodline to her Shen family.

If she failed to overcome the tribulation and Daoist Xuanmu came to question her, she hoped that he would not blame her Second Sister for the sake of the child.

“Alright.”

Shen Jianjia looked at the tenderness and hope in her little sister’s eyes, gently stroking her black hair, her face full of love.

“Child? Little sister, you…”

At this time, Shen Baishuang, who was next to her, heard this and was surprised and astonished. Then, she carefully probed with her Nascent Soul divine sense and sensed a life force in her little sister’s abdomen.

Back then, when she married into Casting Sword Manor, the old Master hoped that before he passed away, he could see her give birth to a bloodline descendant for the Lin family.

However, Lin Yuan Ting had a penchant for the same sex, and he had no reaction to her, this Divine Maiden whose beauty had spread throughout the Star宿 Sea. He even instinctively rejected her, leading to the two of them being husband and wife for a hundred years without ever sharing a bed or giving birth to a child.

She didn’t expect that her little sister and Daoist Xuanmu would conceive a fetus in just two days.

One must know that after cultivators break through the Foundation Establishment stage, the difficulty of getting pregnant gradually increases; by the time they reach the Core Formation stage, many cultivators will take certain pregnancy pills, natural treasures, or secret methods to increase the probability of pregnancy.

And Daoist Xuanmu was a peak Core Formation cultivator, and her little sister was also a peak Core Formation cultivator, yet the two of them conceived so quickly, which was truly amazing.

A sense of rejoicing welled up in her heart. It was a good thing that she didn’t get pregnant.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to do.

After all, if such a thing happened, it could be regarded as being bitten by a dog.

But if she were to conceive his child, she couldn’t even imagine it.

However, seeing her little sister pregnant, she was also a little envious.

Once, she had hoped to give birth to a pair of well-behaved and sensible children who would inherit Casting Sword Manor and Divine Maiden Palace, respectively.

But thinking of her husband, she sighed in her heart and dismissed the idea.

“It’s okay. Since you’re pregnant, little sister, give birth to it if you want to.”

Shen Baishuang very much agreed with her little sister giving birth to this child.

After all, she would not be able to have children in the future, and the possibility of her older sister, Shen Jianjia, leaving behind a bloodline was very slim.

This child born by her little sister was also a bloodline of their Shen family.

Shen Yiren didn’t speak, but in her heart, she still had some resentment towards her Second Sister, Shen Baishuang.

How could her older sister plot against her like this?

The beauty suppressed the negative emotions in her heart and took out clothes from her storage ring to put on.

Seeing that her little sister, Shen Yiren, was in a better mood, Shen Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Shen Baishuang with a cold expression, her flawless beautiful eyes carrying a hint of questioning, wanting to know what the situation was between her and True Lord Yuanwei?

And how did she plan to handle this matter?

One must know that Divine Maiden Palace and Casting Sword Manor were family friends, and now that such a thing had happened, she had to handle it properly!
