Chapter 2454 - 2144: Xue Linglong’s Anxiety

Wu Junwan once thought she was going to die here. As a Late-stage Earth Realm Spirit Warrior, her tolerance for pain was actually very strong.

After all, Martial Artists cultivate by using spiritual evil to temper their Physical Body. Compared to that insignificant sensation brought by physical contact, the pain of spiritual evil tempering the Physical Body is the real agony.

So, she actually didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

What really made her unable to endure was the drifting of her consciousness, the daze of her spirit.

Yet just as Wu Junwan thought Lu Chen’s body couldn’t take it anymore and that was why he hadn’t continued, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations, you’re pregnant."

Hearing this, the absent-minded Wu Junwan instantly came back to herself. Her pupils shrank slightly, a bit incredulous. Pregnant?

How is that possible?

It’s barely been half a month, right?

You have to know she was an Earth Realm Spirit Warrior, and Lu Chen himself was also a Heavenly Realm Spirit Warrior.

With their Realms, wanting offspring is far from an easy matter.

And she’s already pregnant?

Could this guy be lying to her?

After Wu Junwan came back to herself, her pair of indifferent eyes stared straight at Lu Chen as she asked, "Are you sure?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Sense it yourself and you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not."

Wu Junwan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately mobilized the spiritual evil in her body to probe herself.

After such a round of investigation, she indeed discovered that in her lower abdomen, there was a place into which spiritual evil could not enter.

Although it was only a tiny spot, it was enough to explain the problem.

That should be the embryo’s prototype.

In other words, what Lu Chen said was true—she really was pregnant with this damn man’s child.

This made Wu Junwan’s mood rather complicated. Although she also wanted to become pregnant with Lu Chen’s child as soon as possible, complete the deal with Lu Chen, and then enter the Ancient Ruins to search for the Ancient Inheritance...

But now that she was actually pregnant with his child, she felt that with such a noble Identity, yet giving birth and raising children for a Border Desolate Native, it was really far too degrading.

Seeing Wu Junwan fall into silence and stop speaking.

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What’s wrong? You don’t look very happy."

Wu Junwan looked at Lu Chen coldly, just staring at him, still saying nothing.

She was thinking about how to deal with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty next. Once her royal father learned that she had borne a child for a Border Desolate Native, her Identity as Princess Junwan might very well not be preserved.

She had to find a way to conceal this matter before the restriction on the Border Wilderness was lifted.

While Wu Junwan was lost in thought, Lu Chen slightly twisted his body.

Wu Junwan instantly snapped back. She looked at Lu Chen with a face full of chill—this damn man had already gotten her pregnant and still wouldn’t behave himself.

Seeing Wu Junwan glaring at him in anger, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Back to your senses? You’ve been quite proactive these days. How come now that you’re really pregnant with my child, you’re suddenly unhappy?"

Wu Junwan said icily, "Since I’m already pregnant with your child, shouldn’t you let me enter the Ancient Ruins as well?"

Lu Chen said, "That won’t do. What if you enter the Ancient Ruins now, obtain the Ancient Inheritance inside, and then come out and abort my child?"

"You’ll have to wait until you give birth to the child. Only then will I let you in."

Just then, Wu Junwan suddenly thought of something. The reason their various factions hadn’t entered the Ancient Ruins at the first opportunity wasn’t Lu Chen’s obstruction, but that there was a strange restriction outside the Ancient Ruins. Most people who approached the entrance would turn to ash, so they hadn’t dared charge in recklessly. It seemed only Lu Chen grasped the method to enter the Ancient Ruins.

At this time, Wu Junwan asked, "It seems not just anyone can enter this Ancient Ruins. There’s a restriction at the entrance; anyone who approaches rashly will turn to ash."

"Since you promised to let me enter the Ancient Ruins, you’re not just going to allow me to go in without telling me how to get in, are you?"

Lu Chen said, "You can rest easy about that. Since I’ve already agreed to let you in, I’ll naturally help you enter."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Wu Junwan felt relieved.

At this moment, Lu Chen wrapped his arm around her waist and stood up directly, saying, "Alright, you should rest well from now on. I still have things to do, so I won’t continue attending to you."

With that, Lu Chen and Wu Junwan slowly separated.

As Lu Chen left, Wu Junwan suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.

After leaving Wu Junwan’s room, Lu Chen didn’t head straight to Xue Linglong’s courtyard, but went to the Cultivation Room.

He had just obtained a drop of Undying Blood and intended to fuse it immediately to see if he could break through to the King Realm.

Arriving at the Cultivation Room, Lu Chen opened the system interface and first checked the system’s first reward, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat.

He then prepared to take out the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat, but in the next moment, a system notification rang out: "The space where the host is currently located is too narrow; the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat cannot be stored here."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then glanced over the description of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat.

[Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat: King Realm Magic Treasure. Once activated with spiritual evil, it can travel one hundred thousand miles in a day.]

Seeing the description of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat, Lu Chen instantly lost interest.

Although in this world, being able to travel one hundred thousand miles in a day counted as a very formidable Magic Treasure...

Lu Chen was, after all, a Great Emperor of the Spirit Realm. At his peak, he didn’t need to use any Magic Treasure; with a single spatial shift he could instantaneously cross hundreds or thousands of light-years. One hundred thousand miles was nothing to him.

Of course, for his current self, a Magic Treasure that could travel one hundred thousand miles a day still had some use.

Lu Chen turned off the system description and focused his thoughts on the Undying Blood.

He took out the Undying Blood and began refining it.

This time, the pressure emanating from the Undying Blood was even more overpowering than that of the Undying Blood he had obtained before.

Lu Chen had already guessed that as his Realm continued to rise, the Undying Blood he obtained from the system would become increasingly pure.

And the pressure contained within the Undying Blood would also grow more terrifying, making it progressively harder for him to refine.

As the Undying Blood merged into Lu Chen’s body, a familiar intense pain once again swept through his entire being, so severe that Lu Chen couldn’t even straighten his waist.

He felt as if his body was being peeled apart stroke by stroke, like being subjected to slow dismemberment.

Lu Chen forced himself to endure the pain, strenuously controlling his emotions as he gasped for breath, trying to alleviate the torment through deep breathing.

As this drop of Undying Blood gradually fused into his body, he found his Realm was also slowly rising and had gradually shown signs of breaking through the bottleneck.

Lu Chen felt a surge of delight. As long as he could break through to the King Realm in one go, any amount of pain would be worth it.

Thus, for the following month, Lu Chen stayed focused on refining this drop of Undying Blood, which nearly drove Xue Linglong mad with anxiety.

The time they had agreed upon was now less than a month away, and Lu Chen had vanished again.

At this moment, Xue Linglong was pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

Just then, a maid entered the courtyard. Seeing the maid return, Xue Linglong quickly stepped forward and asked, "How about the information I ordered you to inquire about?"

The maid answered immediately, "Lady Xue, after the King left Lady Wu’s room, he went into seclusion and is still in the Cultivation Room now."
