584: The Panic of Yan Nishang

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to guess what kind of person that vixen really is. If worst comes to worst, I'll just pay special attention to her after subduing her."

"Now... it seems there's nothing left to do."

"Why don't I just collect the loose ends outside? As long as the two of them accelerate time and bring forth the expectations I gave them, then I will have completed the task of 100 people."

"I really don't know what the reward for my main quest is," Chen Xuan said, then got up alone, kissed Shi Meitong's forehead, and slowly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already beside Yan Ni裳.

However, Yan Ni裳 was no longer near the mine at this moment, but had come to a magnificent palace filled with Fire Law.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay around the mine; rather, in the past few days, she had discovered something was wrong with herself.

After returning from the mine, she actually found a life aura in her belly!

But how was this possible?! She was a Peak Golden Immortal, a half-step Immortal King level powerhouse! Her body was almost an energy body, so how could she possibly...

But things still happened, and no matter how much she complained, it was useless. So, she used the excuse of comprehending the Fire Law and returned to Cultivate in seclusion.

"Alas."

Yan Ni裳 gently stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The arrival of this child was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, disrupting all order in her life.

She knew deeply that as the wife of an Immortal King, she had committed an unforgivable sin. Once discovered, she and her Family...

"What should I do? How can I hide this...?" she murmured, her voice trembling slightly.

If the Immortal King knew about this, not to mention herself, even this unborn child would have no chance of survival.

But when she thought of the small life in her belly, her heart couldn't help but soften. That was her and another person's flesh and blood, her warmest secret on this cold Immortal Path.

Moreover, she also believed that Heaven allowing her, an impossible person, to successfully conceive was a destiny given to her by Heaven, so she would never give up this child, even if it meant death!

However, just as Yan Ni裳 was caught in endless entanglement, Chen Xuan's figure quietly appeared in the palace.

Yan Ni裳 looked up in horror, her eyes filled with vigilance and panic, as if her deepest secret had been exposed.

"You... why are you here?" Yan Ni裳's voice tightened, and she subconsciously took a step back, her hands unconsciously protecting her abdomen.

Chen Xuan understood her actions, but did not expose her. He merely said indifferently, "Can I not come over? Or... do you not welcome me anymore?"

"No, no!"

Yan Ni裳 barely composed herself, trying to make her voice sound normal: "I... I've been trying hard to Cultivate, but this Fire Law is too profound, it will take some time."

"Is that so? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me! After all, my understanding of fire far surpasses yours!"

"Ah?! No, no need, I, I'll comprehend it myself!"

Yan Ni裳 lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

She didn't want Chen Xuan, a mere Tianxian Realm, to know that she was carrying his child. Because in her eyes, Chen Xuan was a complete scoundrel. Even if she... did feel a stir in her heart for him, she still didn't dare to gamble.

What if Chen Xuan didn't want this child and wanted her to abort it? That was absolutely unacceptable!

"No need, then alright. Today... I miss you a little!"

"Miss me for what... Hmm?! No, absolutely not! Can't you... go find Leng Ruoyun first! She, she will definitely..."

"But the person I'm thinking of is you, Nishang darling," Chen Xuan chuckled and slowly approached.

"I, I'm currently comprehending the Dao, can you please not disturb me...?"

Yan Ni裳 secretly prayed that Chen Xuan wouldn't discover her secret, but she also vaguely felt that this secret would be revealed sooner or later. At that time, she couldn't imagine what kind of storm awaited her.

"It's fine, I'll tell you about the Fire Law!" Chen Xuan said, embracing Yan Ni裳, who trembled all over.

She used to really look forward to this, but this time, her heart was filled only with fear.

Because this was something she had no knowledge of. If she were to be taken like this, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself.

"Chen Xuan... I, I beg you, I haven't been feeling well these days, can you please not bother me...? I will definitely compensate you well in the future! Is that alright?"

"But you haven't told me the reason. Why are you so unusual this time?" Chen Xuan smirked.

It seems Yan Ni裳 has discovered it and doesn't want me to know. Then I'll...

"I..." Yan Ni裳 was about to make up an excuse when suddenly, Chen Xuan seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to look at Yan Ni裳, his gaze falling directly on her abdomen.

Yan Ni裳's heart tightened, and she almost lost her footing. She could feel Chen Xuan's gaze like a tangible entity, penetrating her body, as if to reveal all the secrets in her heart.

"You..." Chen Xuan was about to speak, but was frantically interrupted by Yan Ni裳.

"Please, don't tell anyone," Yan Ni裳 said with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, "I know... this is a big mistake, but I... I can't bear to part with it."

Chen Xuan looked at the pleading in Yan Ni裳's eyes, slowly released his embrace, stepped back, and frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

"Please, Chen Xuan, I... I can't live without her/him!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is mine, isn't it? You... why would this happen?"

Yan Ni裳 bit her lower lip, and tears finally streamed down her face. She slowly knelt down, having already knelt before Chen Xuan countless times, her voice filled with endless sorrow:

"I don't know why this happened either. Ever since I returned from the mine, I discovered the existence of this small life. I know this goes against heavenly principles and ethics. As the Immortal King's wife, my sin is unforgivable. Once he finds out... But what's in my belly is a living life, my closest child! How can I bear to abort him!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuan slowly squatted down, gently lifted Yan Ni裳's chin, looked at her tear-stained face, and softly said, "Get up. I won't tell anyone."

He had originally wanted to tease her, but now he had made her overly emotional, which was not good.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Ni裳's eyes. She stared blankly at Chen Xuan, seemingly unable to believe that he would agree so easily.

"However, you have to leave with me. After all, if you keep dragging this out, the Immortal King will find out sooner or later, and then both you and the child will be in danger."

Chen Xuan's eyes revealed determination, "I won't let anything happen to you."

Seeing this, Yan Ni裳's heart warmed, and tears blurred her eyes again.

She had never thought that this young Tianxian Realm, who sometimes seemed like a rogue in her eyes, could give her such a great sense of security at this moment.
