15: Chapter 15 Overflowing with Pregnancy Energy! First Child Already Pregnant?!

Inside the lounge of the martial arts arena, the spring atmosphere was just right.

Xu Chen looked at the lovely little wife in his arms, her face as rosy as a peach blossom and her eyes blurred. With a thought, the "Pregnancy Capsule (Guaranteed Version)" he had exchanged for 1,000 Family Luck points silently appeared on the tip of his tongue.

The pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a sweet, warm current.

"Wife."

Xu Chen lowered his head, his forehead against Su Qingge's, his voice deep and magnetic. "The pure-blooded phoenix the Ancestor mentioned earlier—do you want to eat it?"

Su Qingge was already dazed from the kissing, her mind like mush. Hearing this, she just nodded subconsciously and replied softly:

"I do..."

"It's good that you want to."

Xu Chen chuckled. "Then we'll have to work harder and strive to succeed in one go."

After saying that, he leaned down again and kissed those vibrant red lips. With a gentle nudge of his tongue, he slowly passed that warm current, which contained a mysterious power of creation, into Su Qingge's mouth.

Su Qingge only felt a strange sweetness slide down her throat. Immediately after, an unprecedented warmth rose in her abdomen, as if a seed of life was quietly taking root and sprouting in that warm soil.

But this strange sensation was quickly submerged by the ensuing storm.

The red waves rolled; this exploration of the origin of life lasted until the sun set behind the mountains.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Life in Hall of Eternal Life remained peaceful and sweet.

Over the past month, Xu Chen and Su Qingge were almost inseparable. They sipped tea and admired flowers together, studied the way of the sword (the serious kind), and of course, had plenty of "deep exchanges" at night.

One morning.

The dining table was covered with all kinds of spiritual delicacies—dragon livers, phoenix marrow, and every kind of rare treasure.

Su Qingge sat beside Xu Chen, looking at the plate of "Steamed Spiritual Soft-shell Turtle Rim" that she usually loved, but for some reason, her brow furrowed slightly.

An inexplicable feeling of greasiness welled up in her heart.

"What's wrong? No appetite?"

Xu Chen was peeling a premium spiritual shrimp for Su Qingge. Seeing her hesitate to move her chopsticks, he asked with concern, "Were you exhausted last night?"

Hearing the word "exhausted," Su Qingge's cheeks flushed, and she gave him a reproachful kick under the table.

"No... I just feel this turtle rim is a bit fishy."

Su Qingge put down her chopsticks and picked up the spiritual tea nearby, hoping to suppress the nausea.

However, as soon as the tea entered her mouth...

"Blech—!"

A strong wave of nausea instantly surged up her throat. Su Qingge's expression changed, and she quickly covered her mouth, turning aside to retch.

"Qingge!"

Xu Chen was startled, dropping the shrimp meat. He quickly supported her shoulders and gently patted her back.

"What happened? Did you eat something bad?"

Xu Chen's brow was tightly knit, his eyes full of anxiety. "That shouldn't be possible. The ingredients in Hall of Eternal Life are screened through multiple layers. How could there be a problem?"

As he spoke, he circulated the Pure Yang Qi within his body, intending to help soothe Su Qingge's body.

However, the moment his spiritual power entered Su Qingge's body...

Boom!

An extremely faint but terrifyingly high-quality wisp of Chaos energy suddenly bounced back from Su Qingge's lower abdomen, actually jolting Xu Chen's spiritual power away!

Xu Chen was stunned.

He looked at Su Qingge's still-flat abdomen, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

Wait.

Retching? Nausea? Sleepiness?

Plus that mysterious aura that could repel his spiritual power just now...

Xu Chen's heart skipped a beat, then began to throb violently.

It couldn't be, right?

Had the effects of the Guaranteed Capsule manifested so quickly?

"Someone! Come quickly!"

Xu Chen jumped up and roared toward the outside of the hall, his voice carrying unmistakable excitement and trembling.

"Go get the Divine Physician Elder! Quick!"

"Tell him if he's even one step too slow, this Young Master will burn down his herb garden!"

...

A stick of incense later.

Inside Hall of Eternal Life, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

An old man with a white beard and an immortal air sat beside Su Qingge, his three fingers resting on her fair wrist, his eyes slightly closed, his expression grave.

He was the Xu Family's chief alchemist, the Divine Physician Elder known as the "Alchemy Saint."

Xu Chen paced back and forth nearby, his palms covered in sweat. He looked even more nervous than if he were facing a tribulation himself.

Xu Changsheng and Ji Wushuang had also rushed over upon hearing the news. At this moment, the two sat in the main seats. Although they tried their best to maintain their Great Emperor's dignity, their fingers tightly gripping the armrests betrayed their inner turmoil.

The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a long while.

The Divine Physician Elder finally opened his eyes.

At that moment, the sharp light in his eyes was even more piercing than the sun in the sky.

He didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, seemingly calming his agitated heart.

"Elder, how is it?"

Xu Chen couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward. "Is it..."

The Divine Physician Elder stood up, straightened his robes, and then bowed deeply to Xu Chen, and also to the Family Head and the Empress above.

His voice trembled, yet it was as resonant as a bell:

"Congratulations, Family Head! Congratulations, Young Master!"

"The Young Madam... is with child!"

"Furthermore, the pulse is like a dragon, powerful and vigorous, with faint wisps of Chaos energy swirling around it, resonating with the Great Dao!"

"If I am not mistaken, this child... is the legendary—Chaos Body embryo!"

Boom—!

These words were like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploding directly inside Hall of Eternal Life.

"Chaos Body?!"

Xu Changsheng stood up abruptly, his Imperial Might even losing control slightly, causing the hall's dome to hum and vibrate.

"Are you sure you saw correctly?! Is it truly that unique-throughout-the-ages, strongest-in-the-heavens Chaos Body?!"

Ji Wushuang even teleported directly in front of Su Qingge, staring carefully at her daughter-in-law's belly. Her gaze was like she was looking at a peerless and rare immortal artifact.

"I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"

The Divine Physician Elder's beard trembled with excitement. "This kind of pulse—I've only seen it recorded in ancient texts. That is a constitution that even the Heavenly Dao would envy!"

Having received confirmation, Xu Chen let out a long sigh of relief. Immediately after, a surge of wild joy welled up in his heart.

It worked!

She's really pregnant!

And it's a Chaos Body!

Is this the power of a 96-point top-tier female lead combined with the Guaranteed Capsule?

It's simply terrifying!

Just then, the system in Xu Chen's mind, which had been silent for a long time, also popped up with a notification sound.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully conceiving the first offspring!】

【Upon detection, the offspring's talent rating is: SSS-grade (Chaos Body embryo).】

【System rewards have been distributed!】

【Reward 1: Cultivation realm increased to the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Secret Realm!】

【Reward 2: Pregnancy Fetal-Soothing Divine Liquid x10 bottles (Specially designed for the Chaos Body, it can replenish the mother's consumption and ensure the perfect development of the fetus).】

【Reward 3: Family Luck +5,000.】

【Reward 4: Randomly draw one God-level talent—"Heavenly Dao Affinity" (Special gift for the first child).】

Rumble!

With the distribution of the system rewards, earth-shaking changes occurred within Xu Chen's body once again.

His cultivation, which had already reached the peak of the Dao Palace realm, instantly broke through the barrier.

His limbs and bones were glowing, as if four pillars supporting the heavens were rising within his body. That was the Four Extremes Secret Realm!

His left hand became a dragon, his right hand a tiger; his feet stepped on the earth, and his head touched the sky.

In just a few breaths, Xu Chen leaped from the peak of the Dao Palace directly to the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Secret Realm!

That feeling of being able to trigger the world's momentum with every move made him want to let out a long roar.

But it wasn't over yet.

Just as the aura of the breakthrough settled, Xu Chen felt as if his soul had undergone a sublimation.

The world in his eyes changed.

The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand laws of the Great Dao now became clearly visible in his eyes, as if he could reach out and touch them whenever he wished.

This was Heavenly Dao Affinity!

"Good! Good boy!"

Xu Changsheng looked at his son, whose aura had surged again, and couldn't stop smiling.

"It's only been a month, and you've broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm? And you're going to be a father?"

"I always said that the seeds of my Xu Family either remain silent or shock the world when they speak!"

Xu Changsheng waved his sleeve with grand ambition: "Pass down the order! Activate the family's highest-level 'Fetal Protection Array'!"

"From today on, the area within a hundred miles of Hall of Eternal Life is declared a forbidden zone!"

"Except for the Young Master and designated personnel, no one is allowed to approach! Even if a mosquito flies in, you must check its gender for me!"

"Also, bring all the fetal-soothing holy medicines from the family treasury here!"

"If my grandson loses even a single hair, I'll deal with you all!"

The entire Xu Family was in a complete uproar.

The Ninth Ancestor's divine sense descended again, letting out a series of hearty laughs in the void, even stating he would personally catch a pure-blooded phoenix to make soup for Su Qingge.

Su Qingge sat in her chair, one hand gently stroking her still-flat abdomen, feeling a bit dazed.

Just like that... she was pregnant?

And it was a Chaos Body?

Seeing those high and mighty figures who were usually aloof now revolving around her, protecting her like a fragile porcelain doll, a warm current rose in her heart, and her eyes grew slightly moist.

She looked up at Xu Chen, who stood nearby, high-spirited.

Xu Chen seemed to sense something, turned his head, and gave her a gentle smile.

He walked over and, in front of everyone, gently took her hand.

"You've worked hard, wife."

Xu Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of strength.

Su Qingge shook her head, her face radiating the glow of motherhood, and said softly:

"It's not hard."

"This is our child."

Xu Chen took out the bottle of Pregnancy Fetal-Soothing Divine Liquid, which emitted a seven-colored glow, from his system space and handed it to the Divine Physician Elder.

"Elder, this is a divine liquid I accidentally obtained in an ancient secret realm. It's said to have miraculous effects on soothing the fetus. Could you please check if it can be used?"

The Divine Physician Elder took the bottle, and just one sniff made his eyes go wide.

"This... Is this Life Source Liquid? No, it's even purer than source liquid!"

"Good stuff! Peerless good stuff!"

"With this, even if the Young Madam were carrying a True Dragon, it could be nourished!"

Xu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

He turned around and looked at the vast sea of clouds outside the hall, his heart filled with grand ambition.

The first step had been taken.

The Chaos Body embryo was formed; the Xu Family's rise was unstoppable.

"It seems it's time to go out for some 'experience'."

Xu Chen calculated secretly in his heart.

"Earn some milk money for the child, and while I'm at it... find the child a second mother?"

Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Chen's lips deepened.

"Father, Mother."

Xu Chen turned and spoke to the two elders, who were immersed in joy.

"Since Qingge is pregnant, I should do something for the child as well."

"I plan to travel for a few days to find some natural treasures that can build a foundation for the child."

Xu Changsheng was startled, then nodded approvingly.

"That's fine."

"Traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books."

"You are now in the Four Extremes Secret Realm; it's indeed time for you to go out and see the world."

"However..."

A hint of cunning flashed in Xu Changsheng's eyes. "I'm not at ease with you going out alone. Let Dark Elder accompany you."

"Also, don't just focus on finding treasures."

"If you can bring back a few more daughters-in-law like Qingge..."

"Then this old man's bones can still help you babysit!"
