"I'm pregnant," Yi Ying said, surprising everyone.

Gu Tianjun's voice remained silent for a long time.

Fang Ruotang kicked open the door and was immediately met with Gu Tianjun's stunned expression, which was simply unbearable to look at. She unconsciously shook her head.

Then she dragged Gu Yanjin to Gu Tianjun's front, slapped his chest loudly, and glared at him.

"What, are you short of a son? Look at this fine young man, don't you like him?"

Gu Tianjun snapped out of his daze, feeling awkward for a moment.

"It's not that I have a bad son, it's just that I didn't expect my skills to still be so sharp..."

"hehe!"

Seeing Fang Ruotang's forced smile, Gu Tianjun found himself unable to continue.

"If you know you're getting old, you should accept it!" Fang Ruotang said disdainfully. "Stop thinking about that kind of thing all day long. Can't you have some higher aspirations?"

Gu Tianjun was also wronged!

He hadn't been involved with women for a long time. While traveling, he met a female cultivator who shared his interests. She suggested a physical encounter, and they even agreed to forget each other afterward.

Who knew this man was so immoral? After sleeping with her, he came back to talk about the future with her, and a perfectly innocent young girl even asked him out.

He observed her frivolous behavior and assumed she was one of his own.

After all, this continent is not like the Great Yong, where female chastity is not valued. He had seen the disciples of the Wenyue Sect before, so he assumed that this woman had also entered the Daoist path through this.

He readily agreed to something that would benefit both sides.

Yi Ling was stunned for a moment, shocked by the word "pregnant", but she quickly calmed down. Although she didn't know who had taken away her virginity, and after waking up, she was under someone else's control.

But she wasn't foolish enough to do something so stupid. With the last bit of spiritual energy she had left, she forced out the liquid that didn't belong to her body.

Unfortunately, she was given medicine by Daoist He Chu while she was unconscious. When she woke up, her spiritual power was overflowing, and she only had time to do this small thing. If she had been given a little more time, she might have had a chance to escape.

It's just that Master Chu simply didn't give her a chance.

"Sister, we meet again."

As Ling spoke, Gu Tianjun looked over and saw her slowly walk in from the outer room, her face appearing before everyone.

Gu Tianjun looked at Yi Ling's face in surprise, then glanced at Yi Ying sitting on the bed in the inner room, and then at Fang Ruotang and Gu Yanjin. A bold guess popped into his mind.

"You're the woman I slept with! I knew you'd gone back on your word after we made a deal. Turns out you switched to someone else. You're trying to extort me!"

Gu Tianjun frowned and looked at Yi Ying.

There was anger in his eyes and brows, but because he held a high position and had been emperor for many years, his emotions were not particularly obvious.

Fang Ruotang pondered Gu Tianjun's words for a moment, then found herself both amused and exasperated. What kind of guesses were these?

Indeed, the person in bed and on the floor were not the same person; they had been replaced. But it wasn't as he thought. Fang Ruotang directly explained the truth.

Gu Tianjun was stunned, and looked at Yi Ling for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Just as Fang Ruotang said, he was charming but not vulgar.

He won't go looking for women who can't handle the high stakes. His one-night stands will definitely be with women like him; he won't touch innocent girls.

After learning the whole truth, Yi Ling didn't hold much grudge against Gu Tianjun. After all, the person behind it was her own sister. If it wasn't Gu Tianjun, it could have been Cao Tianjun or Li Tianjun. Sooner or later, someone like that would come along.

So she only glanced at Gu Tianjun, and after seeing his face clearly, she looked away. At least he wasn't the kind of disgusting, greasy man.

"Sister, you probably didn't expect to see me again!"

Why did you come out?

Yi Ying had already gotten out of bed and tried to run out several times, but the people at the door blocked her way, so she couldn't get away at all.

"Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"

"..." Yi Ying looked at Yi Ling with hatred.

Yi Ling raised her hand and struck at Yi Ying.

Yi Ying was shocked and accepted the attack. She realized that Yi Ling's cultivation and spiritual power were not as strong as before, yet she... was able to accept it.

The two were currently locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows.

Fang Ruotang stepped back and retreated to a corner of the room.

Gu Tianjun and Gu Yanjin followed behind her.

"By the way, I've taken Yi Ling as my disciple. She'll be my eighth disciple from now on. If you ever run into her in the sect, stay away from her."

"Ah, oh!" Gu Tianjun seemed a little dazed at this moment.

Fang Ruotang ignored him and said to herself, "Although this is a feud between the sisters and you are involved, you have benefited from it after all. You took away Yi Ling's hundred years of cultivation. You can't just leave without any explanation, can you?"

As an emperor, Gu Tianjun was not stingy with women, especially given the current situation. A hundred years of cultivation was not something that could be bought with money.

"Of course I should. How much compensation do you think I should pay?"

"Isn't this up to you? You can pay whatever compensation you want."

Gu Tianjun stared at the two fighting from inside the house to outside. It was obvious that Yi Ling was about to fall into a disadvantageous position. Fang Ruotang said leisurely at this moment, "Yi Ling's cultivation used to completely crush Yi Ying. This time, after only a few moves, she is about to be defeated."

Besides losing a century of cultivation, it was also because he had been drugged by Daoist Hechu and his body had not yet fully recovered.

"My half?"

"OK!"

Fang Ruotang was somewhat surprised that Gu Tianjun, who had always been stingy, had suddenly become so generous, and she looked at him with great astonishment.

Gu Tianjun was both amused and exasperated. "Don't look at me like that. I'm cultivating myself right now, and I know very well how rare it is to accumulate a hundred years of cultivation."

"At least you have a conscience!"

As Fang Ruotang spoke, she flicked her finger, sending out a burst of spiritual energy.

Yi Ying, who was on the verge of victory and had been dominating Yi Ling, was suddenly injured and coughed up blood. Yi Ling seized the opportunity to counterattack and defeat her.

The outcome is already decided.

Fang Ruotang stepped forward, looking at the decisive Yi Ling with some curiosity. She didn't have the intention to kill Yi Ying, thinking that she was considering their sisterly bond.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Ruotang finally spoke.

"She has no sisterly affection for you. If you want to spare her life because she is your sister, be prepared for the backlash. It's best not to keep her around."

Ling glanced at Fang Ruotang strangely, looking puzzled.

"Master, have you misunderstood something? Yi Ying and I are siblings from the same mother and of the same lineage. Refining her will just offset the hundred years of cultivation I lost."

"...You're going to eat her?" Fang Ruotang was stunned.

It took me a while to understand what Yiling meant.

Yi Ling paused for a moment, not expecting Fang Ruotang to react so strongly, and asked hesitantly, "Is it not okay?"

Having inexplicably lost a century of cultivation, she was truly unaccustomed to this frail body. Now, she was making up for it by taking it from the murderer, and she didn't see anything wrong with that.
