718: Chapter 718 Lianyue is Pregnant

Lady Yaoguang stared fixedly at Liu Xuan, "Do you want to interfere in the Southern Border war to profit as well?"

"It cannot be called profiting; this Disciple just wants an extra retreat!"

Liu Xuan stood up, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Of course! These are all secondary; this Disciple mainly wants to contribute to Revered Master."

For Liu Xuan, making money or earning Spirit Stones was no longer important. He sent people to stay in the Southern Border partly because the situation was unsettled, and the Southern Border was always a backup route.

On the other hand, leaving some manpower in the Southern Border would allow him to grasp the situation more clearly.

Finally, there was one insignificant goal: he still had some ideas about Lady Yaoguang, this nine-tailed celestial fox!

"I can take care of the Peach Blossom Demon Saint in Biyou City, but as for Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue of the Black Death Marsh... I can at most send a letter to help you persuade Great Sage Taisui, but I cannot guarantee success."

Lady Yaoguang knew a little about the situation in the Black Death Marsh; Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue had already become a sacrificial pawn in the alliance between the Buddhist sect and Great Sage Taisui. Unless she personally intervened, she could not save her.

"No need!" Liu Xuan smiled confidently. "The Buddhist sect cannot contain Ghost King Lian Yue. In a few days, I will personally bring her to Biyou City."

Lady Yaoguang did not know where Liu Xuan's confidence came from, but since he said so, he must have a great deal of certainty.

"Very well!"

"If Biyou City has Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue sitting in command, the Southern Border Beast Taming Sect will not need my reinforcements. You may decide all matters yourself."

Things went far more smoothly than Lady Yaoguang had expected, which instead caused her to feel anxious.

Liu Xuan was too good to her! Thinking of Liu Xuan's reputation as a lecher, with Peach Blossom, Jiang Xingwan, Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue, and others all becoming Liu Xuan's Dao Companions...

At this thought, she was actually a bit flustered and afraid. Could it be that Liu Xuan possessed some Heaven-Defying treasure capable of controlling people's hearts?

"If there is anything, report it to me through True Monarch Gao Qian. I still have important matters to attend to; take care of yourself!"

After speaking, Lady Yaoguang did not give Liu Xuan a chance to reply, directly transforming into a gray light and merging into True Monarch Gao Qian's chest.

Liu Xuan touched True Monarch Gao Qian's body, his expression somewhat puzzled. "Why did Revered Master run so fast? I still wanted to chat with her about True Qi!"

"Oh well!"

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Liu Xuan lifted True Monarch Gao Qian's round, fair chin and teased, "Little Qian, your husband will have to punish you properly!"

"Little Qian... knows she was wrong!"

True Monarch Gao Qian lowered her head, neither questioning nor defending herself, looking pitiful as if she were ready to be beaten or punished, waiting for disposal.

...

Three days later.

Liu Xuan first refined a furnace of Ten Thousand Blood Dragon Pills for the Queen of Merfolk who had come to him, and then traveled through the Teleportation Array to Biyou City, before heading to the Black Death Marsh.

The Western Desert Buddhist sect suffered heavy losses due to the Spiritual Vein riot, and subsequently, the Dao Court increased its offensive intensity. It was expected that they would not last long, so Liu Xuan had to take Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue away as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue was originally at the Peak of the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation. After absorbing Liu Xuan's Yang Qi, it was only a matter of time before she advanced to the Late-stage Spirit Transformation Ghost Emperor.

Coupled with the ten thousand soul banner, the avici karmic fire mirror that Liu Xuan gave her, and her own natal Spirit Treasure, Lianyue Immortal Palace, once she successfully advanced, her combat power would be half a grade higher than Jiang Xingwan, who was not good at fighting.

With such a virtuous helper, Liu Xuan naturally did not want her to have any accidents.

Black Death Marsh.

Liu Xuan's cultivation had advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage. After his Divine Soul was strengthened, his attainments in Formation also improved slightly, allowing him to see more flaws when looking at the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Formation again.

Without needing to conceal his aura, he locked onto a temple controlled by a Ghost Commander from the ten thousand soul banner and teleported directly through the gaps in the Formation.

"The Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Formation itself is not bad, but the bald monks controlling the Formation are too incompetent. With them like this, can they really block the Dao Court's army?"

Liu Xuan shook his head, slightly disguised his aura, and then headed straight toward the Lianyue Immortal Palace in the center of the Black Death Marsh.

Lianyue Immortal Palace.

The cold moonlight was like a waterfall. From the outside, the Lianyue Immortal Palace looked no different from before.

But once passing through that layer of moonlight, one would discover the yin fiend that had condensed into substance, as well as the spots of eerie karmic fire glowing within.

Combining the ten thousand soul banner with the Avici Karmic Fire, walking along the way, Liu Xuan could feel traces of karmic fire ignited deep within the brows of all the wandering souls.

"The yin fiend earth vein of the Black Death Marsh is probably not inferior to the Yin-Yang Archipelago in terms of grade. Added to the billions of wandering souls living within it, if given enough time, the ten thousand soul banner could at least be nurtured to the fifth-grade High Grade level!"

"What a pity! This place is not suitable for staying long. It is better to quit while ahead. Anyway, I can snatch it back anytime in the future."

No longer dwelling on it, Liu Xuan planned to find Ghost King Lian Yue, then take her to break the Formation and leave first.

"Husband!"

"Husband, I think I am pregnant!"

As soon as Liu Xuan came to Ghost King Lian Yue's side, he was stunned by her words.

"Let me see!"

Liu Xuan flew forward quickly, supporting Ghost King Lian Yue's body to check carefully.

His Divine Sense probed into Ghost King Lian Yue's lower abdomen, where a faint trace of life force pulsed rhythmically. Liu Xuan was very experienced and confirmed at a glance that Ghost King Lian Yue was truly pregnant.

"You really are pregnant!"

"To think that you would be the first to conceive!"

Liu Xuan stared at Ghost King Lian Yue, his expression somewhat complex. Luck is a thing very hard to explain; sometimes it seems to have nothing to do with hard work, it all depends on fate.

Liu Xuan currently had four Soul Transformation Dao Companions. Peach Blossom, who had been with him the longest, had not become pregnant since advancing to Soul Transformation. Jiang Xingwan, who had recently received the most attention from Liu Xuan, had not become pregnant either. Instead, Ghost King Lian Yue, who had only been with Liu Xuan for less than a month, was the first to conceive.

"Take another close look."

"I am pregnant, right?"

It was Ghost King Lian Yue's first pregnancy, and she had no experience. For a ghost Cultivator to get pregnant was a fantasy. If she hadn't seen You Ruo give birth to Jing Ming with her own eyes before, she would have thought she had cultivated some kind of Divine Ability.

"You really are pregnant!"

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "When Jing Ming was born, You Ruo obtained the Opportunity for Soul Transformation. When you give birth, perhaps you can obtain the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension."

"Opportunity for Immortal Ascension!" Ghost King Lian Yue's face showed yearning, but a moment later, she felt it was too ethereal and shook her head with a smile. "It is ten times harder for a wandering soul to achieve Immortal Ascension than for a Human Race great Cultivator or a Yao Race great sage. How can it be as easy as you say?"

"What if I don't get the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension when the time comes? Will you compensate me, Husband?"

"Your husband will compensate you!"

Liu Xuan gently stroked her long white hair and said with an extremely serious expression, "Once the child is born, let alone the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension, I guarantee you will achieve Immortal Ascension!"

Ghost King Lian Yue's eyes brightened slightly. She leaned her face against Liu Xuan's palm, rubbing against it like a little cat. "Husband, you speak with such certainty. If you can't do it in the future, it will be very embarrassing, you know!"

Liu Xuan gently rubbed his thumb against her cold yet silky cheek and smiled, "Wife, there is no need to test me. If I say I can help you achieve Immortal Ascension, I will certainly be able to help you achieve Immortal Ascension. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot stop me!"

"Since you are with me, Immortal Ascension is just the bottom line; your future is far beyond your imagination."

Having casually bragged, Liu Xuan did not explain much to Ghost King Lian Yue and changed the subject.

"I have always been low-key. I will brag to you again next time. The top priority is for us to leave this place first."

"Okay! I will listen to everything Husband says."

Ghost King Lian Yue gave Liu Xuan a coquettish look, then used her Divine Soul to order the subordinates of the Ghost King Lian Yue Palace to assemble, preparing for the evacuation.
