112: Chapter 112 Wan'er's Dream Comes True: It's Finally My Turn!

The Dragon Palace in the early morning was enveloped in a peaceful, shimmering light.

Beside the Sword Cleansing Pond.

A figure in snow-white clothes sat quietly in meditation.

After a night of stabilization, the sharp Sword Intent that originally surrounded Nangong Waner had been completely retracted into her body.

At this moment, she was like a divine weapon returned to its sheath; although her edge was not showing, the naturally formed Dao charm she exuded made people afraid to look directly at her.

"Phew..."

She slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. That airflow actually transformed into a tiny white sword qi in mid-air, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

"Is this the Saint Realm?"

Nangong Waner clenched her fists, feeling the seemingly infinite power within her body, a flash of joy crossing her eyes.

Current her, even without drawing a sword, could kill her former self with just a single thought.

"Awake?"

A gentle voice drifted over.

Xu Chen had stood by the shore at some unknown time, holding a pot of warm spiritual tea, looking at her with a beaming smile.

"Husband!"

Nangong Waner's eyes lit up, and her image as a cold and aloof female Sword Immortal instantly collapsed. She tapped her bare feet and pounced into Xu Chen's arms like a swallow returning to the forest.

"I succeeded! My Sword Body no longer has that tearing sensation!"

She looked up, her small face flushed red, her expression full of a desire for praise.

"Wonderful."

Xu Chen rubbed her head dotingly and reached out to tidy her sideburns that had been ruffled by the wind.

"Since your body is recovered, is it time to proceed with the next step of the plan?"

Hearing this, Nangong Waner's face instantly turned bright red.

She naturally knew what the "next step of the plan" was.

This was also her greatest motivation for fighting so hard to recast her Sword Body and break through to the Saint Realm.

"Um..."

She lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corner of her clothes, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"But husband... Sister Aoxue kept you busy so late last night, can your... can your body handle it?"

"If you're tired, I can wait a bit longer."

Although she said this, the sense of loss in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

After all, several sisters in the family were already pregnant. Only her belly had shown no signs of activity; for someone as competitive as her, this kind of pressure was simply a form of torture.

"Silly girl, what are you overthinking for?"

Xu Chen looked at her anxious state, finding it both funny and heart-wrenching.

He reached out and pinched her perky nose, his tone domineering and confident:

"What kind of constitution does your husband have? The Hongmeng Creation Body! Let alone two people, even if ten more came, I would still be full of vigor."

"And..."

Xu Chen leaned into her ear and whispered:

"To ensure you hit the mark this time, I specifically kept a portion of 'stock' and didn't give it to that greedy dragon girl."

"I've saved it all for you."

"Eek! You... you have no shame!"

Nangong Waner punched him in embarrassment, but the heavy stone in her heart finally fell away.

"Let's go, back to the room."

Xu Chen wasted no more words and swept her up in a princess carry.

"There is a courtyard in this Dragon Palace called 'Listening Tide Pavilion'; the scenery is exceptional, making it the most suitable place for this great task of benefiting future generations."

...

Inside Listening Tide Pavilion.

Outside the window was a colorful underwater world, with fish darting through and coral swaying.

Inside the room, the atmosphere was warm and enchanting.

Gone was the wildness and conquest he showed when facing Long Aoxue last night; this time, Xu Chen displayed the ultimate tenderness.

Nangong Waner lay on the soft Shark-silk Bed, looking up at the man she loved deeply, her eyes full of affection.

"Husband..."

She reached out her hands, proactively wrapping them around Xu Chen's neck, her voice trembling slightly.

"This time, there will definitely be a baby, right?"

"There definitely will be."

Xu Chen kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his gaze firm.

"Your body is already the most perfect Saint Body, and I have adjusted myself to the optimal state. With the right time, place, and people, if we still don't conceive, I'll write the character 'Xu' backwards."

"Then... then you have to be gentle."

Nangong Waner closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"I'm in the Saint Realm now, I'm very durab— mm..."

The rest of her words were tenderly swallowed by Xu Chen.

Xu Chen circulated the Hongmeng Creation Art, channeling the purest essence of life within his body and unreservedly transferring it into Nangong Waner's body. And Waner's Flawless Sword Body, which had just finished recasting, was like a fertile field at this moment, greedily absorbing this gift from her husband.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Only two hearts pressed tightly together were beating in synchronization.

...

A long time later.

The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

Nangong Waner leaned tiredly and contentedly in Xu Chen's arms, her face still flushed, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on Xu Chen's chest.

Xu Chen held her with one arm, while his other hand gently stroked her flat abdomen, silently calling out to the system in his heart.

"System, scan it."

"If it still doesn't hit this time, I'm really going to lose my reputation."

[Ding! Scanning target 'Nangong Waner's' physical state...]

The system's voice soon rang out, carrying a hint of pleasant lightness.

[Congratulations, Host! Scan complete!]

[Extremely strong life fluctuations detected gestating in the target's womb!]

[Conception Success Rate: 100%!]

[Fetal Aptitude Prediction: Innate Sword Dao Holy Embryo (Inherited the mother's Flawless Sword Body and the father's Hongmeng Origin; born with a Clear Sword Heart, it is a rare Sword Dao seed through the ages)!]

[Evaluation: This single shot hit the soul with extremely high quality! As expected of stock held back for so long!]

Hearing the system's notification, Xu Chen suddenly sat up, the joy on his face impossible to hide.

"Pregnant?"

"Really pregnant?!"

Although he had been mentally prepared, when this moment truly arrived, the joy of becoming a father still made him so excited that he lost his composure a bit.

"Husband... what's wrong?"

Nangong Waner, who had been startled awake, looked at him somewhat dazed.

"Waner!"

Xu Chen grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes, his voice trembling.

"We have it! We have a baby!"

"And it's a natural-born little Sword Immortal!"

"What?!"

Nangong Waner was completely stunned.

She subconsciously reached out to touch her belly, and tears instantly burst from her eyes.

"Really? Husband, you're not lying to me?"

"Absolutely certain!"

Xu Chen pulled her tightly into his arms and laughed loudly.

"The seed of my Xu Family, how could I sense it wrong?"

"That's wonderful... sob... that's wonderful..."

Nangong Waner leaned on Xu Chen's shoulder, crying like a child.

At this moment, all the grievances, all the anxiety, and all the lack of self-confidence vanished into thin air amidst these tears of joy.

She was finally going to be a mother too.
