130: Chapter 130 Wives, Come Home with Me to Rest During Your Pregnancy

Above the Undying Fire Mountain, the originally crimson sky was now covered by an endless, continuous shadow of steel.

Nine Void Realm Imperial warships, ten thousand zhang long, hovered in the clouds. Their hulls were cast from deep-sea profound iron, their surfaces engraved with complex and obscure Imperial Dao array patterns. Every circulation of spiritual power stirred up visible ripples in the Void Realm.

That supreme pressure belonging to the Ancient Imperial Clan descended with a crash like an ancient divine mountain, causing all the Yao Beasts within a radius of ten thousand li—whether they were unruly Yao Kings or small Yao that had just gained intelligence—to instinctively prostrate themselves on the ground, shivering towards the sky.

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a muffled, thunderous sound, the massive hatch of the flagship slowly opened.

Two golden paths, paved with the skin of pure-blooded flood dragons, extended from the hatch all the way to the square of the Nirvana Palace.

"They're here!"

Xu Chen's lips curled up, he adjusted his robes, and opened his arms, preparing to welcome them.

Since his father and mother had made such a grand display, they must have missed their precious son dearly.

"Mom! I missed you so..."

Before Xu Chen could finish his sentence, a graceful and luxurious figure rushed down like a stream of light, bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind.

"Move aside! Don't block the way!"

Ji Wushuang didn't even glance at her own son. With a wave of her jade hand, a gentle yet irresistible Saint power pushed Xu Chen aside, devoid of any dignity, just like brushing aside roadside weeds.

Xu Chen: "..."

Before he could complain, Ji Wushuang's beautiful eyes, which seemed to come with built-in radar, quickly scanned the entire scene and accurately locked onto the three stunning beauties standing in the center of the square.

On the left was Long Aoxue, in silver armor with a fiery and wild figure.

On the right was Feng Jiuyou, in a red dress, noble and cold.

And in the middle was Nangong Waner, wearing plain white sword robes, with a pure and otherworldly temperament.

At this moment, Nangong Waner, having undergone the baptism of the Ancestral Dragon Abyss, had reached the Saint realm. Her posture was upright, like a treasured sword with its edge concealed; even though she was pregnant, she could not hide that sharp yet composed Sword Cultivator demeanor.

"Oh my, everyone's here! How wonderful! How wonderful!"

The smile on Ji Wushuang's face bloomed instantly, even more radiant than a blooming peony. She walked up quickly, without any airs of an Imperial Clan matriarch, and directly grabbed Long Aoxue with one hand and Feng Jiuyou with the other.

"So these are Aoxue and Jiuyou? Tsk tsk, truly the rulers of the Demon Realm. This vitality, this figure—they look sturdy, perfect for bearing children!"

Ji Wushuang's gaze lingered on the two women's lower abdomens for a moment, and feeling those two astonishingly vigorous myth-level life fluctuations, she smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Mother-in-law..."

Although it was their first time meeting this legendary, formidable mother-in-law, Long Aoxue and Feng Jiuyou were a bit embarrassed by such straightforward enthusiasm, and they obediently greeted her.

"Yes!"

Ji Wushuang responded crisply, then released the two women and turned to look at Nangong Waner in the middle.

Compared to her "appreciation" of the Dragon and Phoenix women, there was an additional natural closeness and gentleness in Ji Wushuang's eyes when she looked at Nangong Waner.

"Waner, it's been a while."

Ji Wushuang stepped forward, naturally took Nangong Waner's hand, looked her up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that rascal Chener still has a conscience and didn't let you suffer any grievances. You've reached the Saint realm? Not bad, this is what a daughter-in-law of the Xu Family should be; even while pregnant, she doesn't lose to anyone."

"Thank you for your concern, Mother."

Nangong Waner smiled slightly and bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly. She was not the type to be pretentious; although she was carrying a Sword Fetus that consumed immense mental energy, the pride of a Sword Cultivator allowed her to maintain her best state at all times.

"We are all family, why be so polite."

Ji Wushuang patted the back of her hand, then turned around to face the entire crowd, her originally kind expression instantly switching to a domineering "generous giver" mode.

"Come, come, come, this is our first formal meeting, and Mother hasn't prepared anything good."

"Aoxue, I heard you like those grand, shiny treasures."

Ji Wushuang waved her hand, and a miniature pagoda, crafted entirely from Star Essence Gold, appeared in her hand.

"This is the 'Star-Plucking Tower', refined from an entire extraterrestrial star. It is incredibly hard and is the handiest thing for smashing people; take it and play with it."

Long Aoxue's eyes lit up instantly. Not only was this thing shiny, but that heavy sense of power was exactly to her taste!

"Thank you, Mother!"

"Jiuyou, you are an expert at playing with fire."

Ji Wushuang flipped her hand and produced a crimson furnace engraved with ancient divine patterns.

"This 'Nine-Yang Divine Furnace' contains the sealed Origin of nine ancient fire dragons. You can use it to nurture your Bloodline, which will be of great benefit to the little Phoenix in your womb."

Feng Jiuyou felt the pure and vast Yang Qi inside the furnace, and the Nirvana fire within her body cheered with joy; she quickly took it and thanked her.

Finally, Ji Wushuang looked at Nangong Waner.

With a solemn expression, she took out a round bead from her storage ring that was snow-white all over, radiating a sharp Sword Intent while feeling as warm and smooth as jade.

"Waner, you are a Sword Cultivator, and you are carrying a Saint Sword Fetus. This 'Taibai Sword Pellet' is the Origin left behind by an ancient Sword Emperor, combining offense and defense. If you refine it into your body, not only will it protect you, but it will also lay a supreme sword foundation for the child in your womb."

Once this item appeared, the Sword Intent in the surrounding Void Realm seemed to be drawn to it, emitting bursts of metallic ringing.

Nangong Waner's beautiful eyes widened. As a Sword Cultivator, she naturally knew how precious this thing was.

"Mother, this is too precious..."

"Take it!"

Ji Wushuang shoved it into her hand without allowing any argument.

"If I give it to you, you keep it. We don't do that whole 'pushing back and forth' thing in the Xu Family."

Watching this scene, the Yao Race Elders kneeling on the ground almost had their eyeballs pop out.

Star-Plucking Tower? Nine-Yang Divine Furnace? Taibai Sword Pellet?

Any one of these could make those Holy Lands fight to the death, yet here, they were just meeting gifts?

Is this the legendary "didn't prepare anything good"?

"Ahem."

At this moment, Xu Changsheng, who had been treated as background scenery, finally found his sense of presence. With his hands behind his back, he walked over with a steady, measured gait.

"Um... daughters-in-law, I am your father."

"Father!" the three women called out in unison.

"Yes! Good! Good!"

Xu Changsheng beamed with joy. Although his wife had already given away all the gifts, he was rich!

"Men! Bring up the betrothal gifts!"

Rumble!

Hundreds of Imperial Guards carried massive treasure chests glowing with divine light down from the flying ship. The lids were lifted, revealing mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, ten-thousand-year-old divine herbs emitting an intoxicating fragrance, and even a few Undying Herbs dug up with their roots and soil intact.

"These are for the Divine Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan."

Xu Changsheng looked at those Yao Race Elders who were completely dumbfounded and said indifferently:

"From now on, the affairs of the Dragon Clan and the Divine Phoenix Clan are the affairs of my Xu Family. As long as you take good care of my Xu Family's daughters-in-law and grandchildren, this amount of resources will be enough for you in the future."

"Many thanks, Father-in-law!"

"The Xu Family is generous! Long live Young Master Xu!"

Where could the Elders of the two clans have any resentment about their "treasuries being emptied"? They kowtowed like pounding garlic, wishing they could change their family genealogy to the surname Xu right then and there.

After arranging all this, Ji Wushuang didn't want to stay in the Demon Realm for even a moment longer.

"Alright, although the Demon Realm is good, this fire energy is too heavy and not suitable for long-term pregnancy nurturing."

Ji Wushuang took Waner's hand with one of hers and gestured to Long Aoxue and Feng Jiuyou with the other.

"Let's go, come home with Mom! The 'Yangxin Hall' at home has long been prepared, and that girl Qingge has been taking great care of Dabao, nagging all day about when she can see her younger brother and sister."

Hearing "Qingge" and "Dabao", a hint of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the three women.

Especially Nangong Waner; she had already been in communication with Su Qingge and the others, and now that she was about to become a mother herself, she was even more impatient to return and exchange parenting tips.

"Everything will be as Mother arranges."

The three women nodded obediently and, led by Ji Wushuang, boarded the flagship like stars surrounding the moon.

Watching his mother's attitude of having forgotten her son now that she had daughters-in-law, Xu Chen shook his head helplessly and walked over to his father.

"Father, look at my status in the family... isn't it dropping a bit too fast?"

"Be content."

Xu Changsheng glanced at him, and the father and son walked at the back, side by side.

"You went out this time and abducted the two great Empresses of the Demon Realm; this achievement is something that even your father would have to bow down to."

Speaking of this, Xu Changsheng smiled meaningfully.

"But don't get cocky. Although that girl Qingge is the first wife and usually looks like she doesn't fight or scramble for anything, she is as clear as a mirror inside. You bringing two back in one go, I'm afraid the house is going to be lively for a while."

"What is there to be afraid of."

Xu Chen adjusted his collar and looked at the giant ship ahead that was about to carry him and his beloveds home, his eyes flashing with confident light.

"As long as the feelings are deep, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle... ah, phew, as long as I don't play favorites, everyone will be good sisters."

"Besides, I have also prepared surprises for Qingge and Hongyi and the others."

"Fine, fine, fine, just keep babbling."

Xu Changsheng laughed and scolded, patting his son on the back.

"Let's go, home. If your mother finds out we haven't caught up, she's going to scold us again."

"Boom—!"

As the nine Void Realm Imperial warships simultaneously ejected brilliant divine light, their massive hulls slowly ascended, then accelerated violently, instantly tearing through the spatial barrier of the Demon Realm.
