The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 522: Gift of a Pomegranate Herb, Conception of Triplets

Yan Buxiu waved his sleeve and pulled her back. He said, "You don’t understand the situation in the Human World. Grand Elder Qingwu went to the Human World with just a fragment of his soul, intending to bring back the Celestial Sovereign and extinguish the Ghost Fire. Nanli intervened and Grand Elder Qingwu had his Dantian destroyed. Surprisingly, the Celestial Sovereign’s inner core awakened partially and was able to use dual cultivation techniques to help him reconstruct his Dantian."

Upon hearing that the Celestial Sovereign had dual cultivated with Nanli, Yan Luo’s face turned ashen, her eyes filled with hatred. Her fists clenched tightly, but then she relaxed.

"I understand what Father means. Even if the Celestial Sovereign’s inner core has only partially awakened, I am no match for him now," Yan Luo said calmly. "If I act recklessly, I would only be courting death."

She was frustrated that she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Yan Buxiu nodded, "I’m glad you understand."

However, Yan Luo continued, "Father, although you have lost spiritual power, you should be able to draw the Celestial Sovereign away. Then I can take action against Nanli."

Yan Luo was confident she could kill Nanli, who now only had a broken pearl.

Yan Buxiu nearly spat blood. His face turned cold as he said, "You’ve established your foundation. If you act against ordinary people, you will incur karmic obstacles and affect your path of cultivation. How many times have I warned you? If you want to kill her, you must use someone else’s hand."

Yan Luo was not satisfied. "As long as I can kill her, I’m willing to bear the karmic obstacles! Father, I listened to your advice and stole her inner core before, but she still managed to unify her soul. It’s better to kill her directly and save the trouble."

"Foolish!" Yan Buxiu scolded. "Do you know why your elder sister avoided the heavenly tribulation? I’ll tell you today--it’s because she used the Soul-Breaking Awl to tear apart the demoness’s soul! The heavenly tribulation was incredibly severe--eighty-one heavenly lightning bolts! Even I would find it difficult to endure!"

Avoiding the heavenly tribulation with a mortal body was the best method.

Yan Luo was astonished. "How could this be... What kind of being is she? Just tearing apart her soul would warrant such a severe heavenly punishment?"

Yan Buxiu’s expression darkened, and doubt flashed in his eyes. "Her cultivation method is strange, yet she has an inner core. It is indeed peculiar. I don’t know her origins. Perhaps she made a vow with her soul before her death, which is why she faces such a punishment."

"In any case, if we kill her, we might suffer the same heavenly tribulation. You wouldn’t want to reincarnate as a mortal to escape the punishment, would you?"

Yan Luo quickly nodded, not daring to act on her own. "I understand, Father. Even if we need to kill her, I’ll let someone else do it."

"Good, that’s my good daughter," Yan Buxiu said with satisfaction, giving a faint, melancholic smile. "Now, you’re my only daughter left. You must take care."

He gently touched Yan Luo’s cheek with affection.

Yan Luo’s eyes reddened as she said, "Actually, Father need not worry. Since she and the Celestial Sovereign are together and his inner core has awakened, if she conceives, her current mortal body will be drained of blood within a month due to the celestial embryo."

Even if the Celestial Sovereign was reincarnated as a mortal, he was still a half-god, and his bloodline was incredibly strong. As a mortal, bearing his child would undoubtedly lead to her death!

Yan Buxiu shook his head lightly, his expression grave. "If this method had worked before, it might still be effective. But they have obtained many cultivation texts and know the difficulties of a cultivator’s pregnancy, requiring spiritual nourishment. The Celestial Sovereign would certainly be cautious and would not let Nanli be in a dangerous situation."

Yan Luo’s fists clenched tighter, her teeth gritted with hatred. When the Celestial Sovereign’s inner core was still unawakened, she felt regret, but she was secretly pleased that the Celestial Sovereign had not been physically close to Nanli. Now, despite Nanli’s Dantian being destroyed, the Celestial Sovereign’s inner core had awakened at just the right moment!

Why did Nanli have such good fortune?

The Celestial Sovereign, so esteemed and powerful, was supposed to be the highest existence in the Immortal World. Why did Nanli get all the benefits?

"Father, Nanli must die!" Yan Luo said coldly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"I know. If she knew what happened back then, she would definitely come back to the Immortal World to kill us," Yan Buxiu said solemnly.

In the past, he would not have taken Nanli seriously. After all, she had only provided nourishment to the spirit tree and survived in the Human World. What harm was there?

But he never expected she would have such fortune. Without Foundation Establishment or an inner core, she was able to summon so many heavenly thunderbolts and shatter the Void Mirror. This woman was truly terrifying.

The Celestial Sovereign could help her reconstruct her Dantian and then help her establish her foundation and advance to an inner core. What difficulty would that be?

Yan Luo had a flash of inspiration. "Father, there is a pomegranate herb on the Eastern Isle. Consuming it will definitely lead to pregnancy!"

Yan Buxiu, who had been weary and sullen, suddenly became energetic upon hearing this. He smiled and looked at his daughter with admiration.

"I nearly forgot about this divine herb. Luo’er, you are indeed clever!"

Couples seeking pregnancy would use a pomegranate herb, which guaranteed conception. Moreover, the herb was called "pomegranate" because it often led to twins, triplets, or even quadruplets!

Thus, couples would think carefully before using this herb, as more children were harder to manage.

Yan Luo smiled, seemingly pleased with the plan and proudly adjusted her hair. "If Nanli can conceive twins, that would be even better."

She would die even faster!

Yan Buxiu nodded slightly. "If that’s the case, you should go and collect a pomegranate herb to give to..."

He lowered his voice.

"He?" Yan Luo raised an eyebrow. "He seems unreliable and may not follow through. It’s better if I take care of it myself."

Yan Buxiu shook his head gently and advised, "Silly Luo’er, if you do it yourself, you’ll incur karmic obstacles and might even suffer heavenly punishment. We must act cautiously now."

"He is currently obsessed and will help us," Yan Buxiu said with a serious expression, adjusting his daughter’s bangs. "You must understand, a person’s character is the hardest thing to change."

With that, he handed Yan Luo the treasure that could open a small door in the Immortal World’s array, allowing entry without passing through Immortal Sect.

She took it and promised, "Father, rest assured. I will make sure to take Nanli’s life this time."

This item could open a small portal in the array, allowing them to enter and exit the Immortal World without needing to go through the Immortal Sect. She had used it before to enter the Human World, so she knew how to operate it. This time, she would not fail!

Though the capital had experienced a rebellion, it had not caused many casualties. The Spring Festival banquet had to proceed as planned.

After Emperor Muwu’s health improved, he seldom missed court meetings or cabinet discussions. If Ye Siheng was to participate in a cabinet meeting, Emperor Muwu would darken his face and insist that he return to his residence.

His expression clearly stated that state affairs were not as important as having a child.

Ye Siheng, feeling helpless, could only block Emperor Muwu in the side palace after court.

Emperor Muwu raised an eyebrow, sat down with his robe lifted, and had the chief eunuch serve tea.

He said, "Previously, you complained about the busyness of state affairs. Now that I’m handling state matters again, you refuse to return to your residence. You truly baffle me."
