269: The Queen Mother's thoughts!

Great Xia Dynasty.

Chu Yun and the others naturally received news about the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall's army deployment early on.

Estimating by speed, given the grand scale of the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall's forces, it would take at least two days for them to arrive.

However, Chu Yun didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't even order the Great Xia Dynasty's powerhouses to prepare for battle.

In his eyes now, the army of the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall was basically no different from child's play.

Even if no one from Thatched Cottage made a move, with him, the Reincarnation of Time-Space Human Ancestor, and a Peak Limitless Realm Elven Queen, the Great Xia Dynasty's soldiers could add a few more years of meals, no matter how many Yao Beasts the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall sent!

Extra meals, extra meals!

Therefore, Chu Yun wished they would send more Yao Beasts, so that the Great Xia Dynasty's soldiers could eat Sacred Beast meat for every meal going forward!

At the same time, deep within the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Empress Dowager's palace.

The Empress Dowager was seated on a chair, with Atai standing beside her, whispering something.

The Empress Dowager shook her head upon hearing it, her expression dissatisfied, saying, “Not even a few times a month?”

“How can that be!”

“Although Yun'er has many responsibilities now, the matter of continuing the family line is also of utmost importance!”

“It’s been so many days since he ascended the throne, and Ru Xue and Qing Xin’s bellies still show no signs. They aren’t anxious, but I am!”

Atai replied with a bitter expression, “Indeed, Empress Dowager.”

“But Your Majesty’s Cultivation is too high now, and those Great Chu specialties no longer have any effect.”

“He even discovered them and transferred the medicinal effects to me, which made me suffer immensely.”

Atai had suffered several lessons before, and now he completely dared not administer any more medicine.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly upon hearing this.

At this moment, Chu Yun arrived, “Mother, Xiao Xia said you were looking for me?”

“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Atai immediately bowed upon seeing him.

Chu Yun glanced at him, nodded, and said, “Rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” After Atai rose, he obediently stood beside the Empress Dowager, not daring to say a word.

“Yun'er.”

“Tell me, you and Ru Xue and Xiner have been together for so long, why do their bellies still show no signs?”

“Do you need Mother to find some alchemists to take a look?” The Empress Dowager asked very directly.

Chu Yun heard her words and said helplessly, “Mother, it’s not time for such things yet.”

“When the time comes, it will naturally happen.”

“Don’t I know if there’s a problem with my body? You don’t have to worry.”

“If I wanted them to conceive, it could happen anytime, anywhere.”

The Empress Dowager’s expression was serious, and she immediately said, “Then hurry up and do it!”

“You’re not anxious to hold a son, but I’m anxious to hold a grandson!”

“What do you mean ‘not time’? There’s no time like the present. Tonight, you put in some effort and try to get them all pregnant!”

“You don’t even have to raise the children after they’re born, I’ll help you raise them!”

“Your Imperial Father has been in seclusion Cultivating on Imperial Ancestral Mountain, and your Mother is almost bored to death alone!”

“If you don’t give me a few grandchildren to raise, your Mother might become depressed in this Imperial Palace!”

The Empress Dowager remembered something else at this moment and continued, “And also!”

“I’ve already inquired.”

“Fuya, you conferred her as a concubine, but she hasn’t even served you once. What are you trying to do? Neglect her and make her live alone in an empty room?”

“As a man, I have nothing to say about the development of the Imperial Dynasty.”

“But when it comes to your own women, you really need to put some thought into it!”

“Mother is also a woman. Fuya has been neglected by you for so long. Even if she doesn’t say anything, she must be unhappy inside!”

“If you don’t treat her well, then don’t just give her a title to bind her!”

Listening to his Mother now, arguing on behalf of Afuya.

Chu Yun had an expression of helplessness.

He truly hadn't neglected Afuya; they were merely nominal from the start, and if it were to develop into something substantial, it couldn't be rushed.

As for Afuya never having served him, needless to say, it must have been that fat guy Atai who told his Mother.

Chu Yun couldn't help but cast a cold glance at Atai at this moment.

Atai dared not look at him at all, looking around, gazing at the stars, looking down at the moon, just not daring to meet his gaze.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Chu Yun withdrew his gaze and explained to his Mother, “Mother, Fuya and I have a very good relationship, so please rest assured.”

“I promise to strive to let you hold your grandson soon.”

“Alright, Mother, I have things to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”

After Chu Yun finished speaking, he directly turned and disappeared in a flash.

He did not linger any longer; every parent, as they get older, will urge their son to have children.

Whether before Chu Yun’s Transmigration or after, this point basically hadn’t changed.

He was always the one being urged.

… … … …

Night.

Afuya stood alone on a mountain Peak within the Imperial Palace, gazing at the deep night sky. A shooting star streaked across, leaving only a momentary beauty, appearing both magnificent and regrettable.

“It’s so late, why are you standing here alone?”

Chu Yun slowly walked up behind her and stood beside her.

Afuya’s expression was calm, and she said without surprise, “I’m thinking about what the Yuan Realm will become next.”

“In the ancient era, I perished in the chaos of invasions from various realms, but regarding the complete end of the ancient era, I’ve always had doubts.”

“If the ancient era ended due to invasions from various realms, then the powerhouses from those other realms shouldn’t have all disappeared from the Yuan Realm.”

“Yet the fact is that not a single powerhouse from any realm remained, and no Legacy was left within this Yuan Realm, as if they all died completely.”

“I always feel that the Yuan Realm itself… should still be hiding a huge secret.”

Chu Yun listened to her words, a subtle hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, and said profoundly, “You don’t need to think so much right now.”

“When it’s time to know, you will naturally know.”

“When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.”

“As long as I am here, danger will not fall upon you.”

Afuya’s eyes showed a slight touch of emotion, and she turned to look at him: “Besides being the Reincarnation of the Blood Demon, do you have another identity?”

“Is that identity related to an Immortal?”

Chu Yun calmly and confidently nodded and said, “You guessed correctly.”

“The Blood Demon is merely one of my Reincarnation bodies, not my primary Reincarnation body,” Chu Yun improvised.

“So that’s how it is.”

“I had this suspicion when you helped us restore our Cultivation before.”

“If you are an Immortal, then do you know the true reason for the genuine demise of the ancient era?” Afuya continued to press.
