425: Chapter 425 White Tiger Saintess

Liu Xuan looked at Yun Yao's belly; she had been pregnant for over a year, and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, though there wasn't much visible change from the outside.

"Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret? How did she find out?" Liu Xuan asked in a low voice.

"I didn't do it on purpose!" Yun Yao pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking somewhat aggrieved. "I started getting sleepy all the time a few months ago and lacked energy every day. That's how Young Miss Yun Xi spotted the flaw."

"It really was you!!" An Yunxi stepped forward to block Yun Yao. "She is a Crane Yao Beast and Senior Sister Yun Xian's spirit pet. You... how could you do this?"

"How are we supposed to explain this if Senior Sister Yun Xian finds out??"

Third Senior Sister Yun Xian Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, which sometimes makes her seem heartless. An Yunxi was worried she would make things difficult for Liu Xuan once she found out, making it hard to resolve the situation.

"It's fine, there's another reason for this. Listen to my explanation."

Liu Xuan pulled An Yunxi into his arms and then pulled Yun Yao to the other side, holding one on each side, before slowly explaining:

"Yun Yao was sent to my manor by Senior Sister Yun Xian. It was a proper transaction between us. Senior Sister is reasonable; she definitely won't make things difficult for me."

"Senior Sister Yun Xian gave Yun Yao to you? How is that possible?" An Yunxi didn't believe it.

"It happened like this, at that time..." Liu Xuan recounted the story of how Yun Xian and Yun Yao teamed up to trick him for food and drink, then looked at Yun Yao and said, "Yun Yao, tell her yourself, is what I said true?"

"I didn't trick anyone for food and drink!" Yun Yao raised her chin to retort, but after making eye contact with Liu Xuan, she lowered her head again and muttered softly, "Sister Yun Xian said it was just each getting what they needed."

Hearing Yun Yao admit it, An Yunxi nodded silently. Since Senior Sister Yun Xian knew about it, there shouldn't be any extreme reaction.

"Wait, that's not right!" She suddenly broke free from Liu Xuan's arms and questioned, "Yun Yao is a Crane Yao Beast, and you are a Human Race Immortal Cultivator. How could you possibly have a child?"

"Uh..."

"Your husband is exceptionally gifted. It's nothing to be surprised about; you'll get used to it."

An Yunxi stood dazed, her expression a bit downcast. Liu Xuan thought she was angry and pulled her back into his arms, comforting her, "What's wrong? Can't accept a sister from the Yao Race?"

An Yunxi gave Liu Xuan an aggrieved look and pointed at Yun Yao, whispering, "Even a bird is pregnant, yet I haven't had any reaction at all..."

Liu Xuan was stunned! So that was what she was upset about.

"Isn't that simple?" Liu Xuan picked her up by the waist and smiled. "There's plenty of time in the future. Senior Sister Yunxi, don't be in a hurry; we have a long time ahead of us!"

...An Yunxi was now a Golden Core True Person; without a bit of luck, it would be difficult to get pregnant in a short time.

But her status was special. Liu Xuan couldn't follow the rules completely; he had to give her some special treatment.

Revered Master Shen Yunshu at Pingding Mountain needed care, and the Peach Blossom Demon Lord of the Peach Blossom Sect needed companionship. Liu Xuan seemed leisurely, but in reality, he had to consume a lot of energy every day.

An Yunxi and Shen Yunshu were fine. Although they were Golden Core True Persons, they were ultimately Qi Refining Spell Cultivators, and their physical constitutions were far inferior to Liu Xuan's.

But the Peach Blossom Demon Lord was different. She was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Demon Lord, and her Yao body was incredibly strong. While every session was satisfying, it took several days to recover the energy consumed.

Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

Liu Xuan sat in a chair wearing a loose robe. To his left, several Yao Race maidservants held battlefield intelligence, while to his right, several Yao Race maidservants held various spirit fruits and Spirit Wine.

"From the battlefield intelligence, the South Courtyard's general offensive against the Peach Blossom Sect is very close. The number of troops the four Great Nascent Soul Elders are moving to the front lines is increasing."

According to the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, An Haoran had originally agreed on a time about a year away, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and moved it forward.

Had Liu Xuan not appeared, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord would certainly not have accepted this. To increase her chances of a Breakthrough, she would have paid a great price to delay the time to the scheduled point.

But now it didn't matter. She didn't need to use the Myriad Spirits Grand Array to force a Breakthrough, so the time being moved forward slightly didn't have much of an impact.

Liu Xuan tossed aside the scroll, washed down the spirit fruit with wine, and sighed, "I hope everything goes smoothly and no trouble crops up!"

"Husband~"

A speck of pink light lit up in front of Liu Xuan, and then the Peach Blossom Demon Lord appeared, bringing along Lvluo, Bai Leng, and a beautiful young girl in a milky-white dress.

This woman was tall, with a pair of long, straight legs and a slender waist. Her chest wasn't massive, but the proportions were just right.

Her face was also very distinctive, having both the purity of a lolita and sharp, well-defined features, carrying a hint of the refined beauty of a mature woman.

None of that was the most important part. Her most attractive feature was her whiteness—a tender, glowing, translucent white. On her face and arms, not even a single fine hair or pore could be seen.

Seeing Liu Xuan was attracted, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord smilingly led the woman forward and introduced her:

"Her name is Shuang Xue, with a Late Golden Core Stage cultivation. She is the Saintess of the White Tiger Clan of the Demon Court. Is Husband satisfied?"

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord looked reproachfully at Lvluo and Bai Leng behind her. "The two of them refused to serve Husband no matter what. I found someone even better for you, so please don't blame them."

Last time Liu Xuan asked for a few Yao Race maidservants, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord intended for her confidants Lvluo and Bai Leng to do it, but the two women didn't know the inner details and were unwilling.

Liu Xuan didn't allow Peach Blossom to reveal too much information about him, so she couldn't explain much to Lvluo and Bai Leng. That's why she brought Shuang Xue.

"The Saintess of the White Tiger Clan of the Demon Court? You didn't kidnap her, did you?" Liu Xuan looked closely, his brow furrowing slightly. Shuang Xue's aura was weak, and there were traces of restrictive techniques on her. It didn't look like she was here voluntarily.

Being involuntary wouldn't do! Liu Xuan didn't look for women just to vent his desires, but to have children and grow his Family. If there was resentment in her heart, it would inevitably lead to trouble in the future.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord nodded. "Indeed, I sent people to kidnap her. The White Tiger Clan has always been at odds with me, especially since the Beast Taming Sect attacked. They have repeatedly intervened to obstruct my plans. Capturing one of their Saintesses is just the beginning. Once this battle with the South Courtyard is settled, I'll have to settle the score with them properly."

"Husband, you don't need to have any concerns. If you don't like her, treating her as a servant or slave is also fine!"

Shuang Xue kept her eyes downcast, showing no reaction to the Peach Blossom Demon Lord's words. Being a servant or slave was much better than the fate she had anticipated.

Her only curiosity was the identity of the young-looking man in the chair across from her, who could make the Peach Blossom Demon Lord treat him like this.

Husband? She had never heard of the Peach Blossom Demon Lord having a lover among the Demon Lords!

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord was in the Late Nascent Soul Stage. In the entire Demon Court, very few Demon Lords were qualified to be her lover. Even for a fellow Late Nascent Soul Stage Demon Lord, the relationship would at most be an alliance. How could they become Dao Companions like the Human Race?

Furthermore, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord was on the verge of a Soul Transformation Breakthrough. Instead of focusing on serious matters, she went through the trouble of bringing her here to please this man. She really couldn't figure it out.
