Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Cui had heard about what happened on the battlefield. This invincible Black Phoenix suddenly lost her strength and was almost killed by the Paragon. At that time, his first reaction was that Madam Jiang had been poisoned, but his second reaction was that it was impossible.
Her martial arts were so high that other than the strange poison like the Fragrance of Hundred Miles, even the Hedinghong could not cause fatal damage to her. However, the symptoms of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles were not like hers on the battlefield.
Therefore, he never understood what was wrong with Madam Jiang until he took her pulse.
“How is it?” Yu Wan asked.
Old Cui stuffed Madam Jiang’s arm back into the blanket and nodded. He sighed. “That’s right, she’s pregnant. Her sudden loss of strength should be related to this.”
Yu Wan smiled in relief. She held Yan Jiuchao’s hand. “Mom is pregnant. I’m going to be a sister again!”
It was fine as long as she was not poisoned, and it was fine as long as nothing else went wrong. Losing her martial arts was not as important as her life. Besides, being pregnant was a joyous matter.
However, why did Mom lose her strength when she was pregnant?
Madam Jiang’s martial arts skills were extremely high. No one knew how high they were, but everything in the world had its own rules. That was to not be able to escape a double-edged sword. Just like the Longevity Technique, it was the most powerful cultivation technique of the Sacred and Sorcerer Clans, but at the same time, it also had a fatal weakness—a full moon.
If the cultivation technique Madam Jiang practiced also had a weakness, could it be that she couldn’t get pregnant and have children? Of course, this didn’t mean that she couldn’t give birth, but the price for giving birth was huge.
She first gave birth to Yu Wan and then Little Bruiser. Perhaps all these years of softness was not an act. Of course, it was not very convincing to say that she was really that sick.
Old Cui took her pulse. Her cultivation had indeed temporarily disappeared, but there was nothing wrong with her body.
Old Cui looked at her sympathetically. Who asked her to pretend to be sick. Now, it was real.
“I’m not sure I’m right, but I can’t find a more reasonable possibility,” Old Cui said.
“What do you think?” Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao nodded. He agreed with Old Cui’s guess. Otherwise, it would not explain why this demon king had barged into the palace to shave the Emperor’s hair. This was simply like not causing trouble for many years and she had almost gone crazy from holding it in, okay?
“The power of the Longevity Technique disappears for a few days a month. Her power doesn’t disappear for a few years, once it disappears, it will be for a few years.” Old Cui thought of someone’s appearance after he recovered and patted Yu Wan’s shoulder sympathetically. “Have a good life for the next few years.”
When a certain someone recovered her strength, no one could have a peaceful life.
Little Sly Jiang was sleeping soundly. Seeing that there was nothing else to do here, Shadow Thirteen gave Shadow Six a look and left with Old Cui.
The tent fell silent.
Yu Wan fetched water, twisted a handkerchief, and wiped Madam Jiang’s face. As she wiped, she asked Yan Jiuchao, “Are you alright? Has the poison been cured?”
“Yes, it’s resolved,” Yan Jiuchao said.
After Yu Wan finished wiping Madam Jiang’s face and hands, she came out with a basin and pulled open the screen for her. She put down the basin and quietly walked to Yan Jiuchao’s side. She took his pulse. His pulse was finally normal. There seemed to be a power in his body that she could not describe.
“Is it the Longevity Technique?” Yu Wan raised her head and looked at him steadily. “You broke through again?”
“Yes.” Yan Jiuchao nodded. His gaze landed on her fair face, hiding his gentleness.
Yu Wan had lost some weight after working hard during this period of time. Her chubby cheeks were gone, and she had gone her original oval face. Yan Jiuchao raised his hand and pinched it. He couldn’t even pinch much meat.
Yu Wan pulled his hand. “Yan Jiuchao.”
“Huh?”
“How are the children?”
Yan Jiuchao looked at her and said, “They’re all quite good. What about you?”
“I’m fine too.” Yu Wan smiled and held his hand as they strolled through the boundless night. The two of them had been married for so long, but it seemed that things had never really been calm. They were either running east or west, even a night on the battlefield made her feel that the years were peaceful.
Yan Jiuchao had never been a talkative person, and Yu Wan was actually not one either. However, after her wedding with Yan Jiuchao, she was. She liked to talk to him and hear his answer..
