Chapter 236: It's only natural for a husband to feed his wife with his own flesh and blood.

A benevolent ruler for all time? Haha! Jiang Sijin couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the child Su Zhenzhen was carrying.

She originally intended to wait until the birth of the benevolent ruler of all ages, then seize his imperial destiny and bloodline, and use her female body to glorify the Jiang Dynasty.

But in the end, it turned out to be a huge joke!

Whether it was the Jiang family or the Jiang dynasty, they always treated their daughters like trash.

Then why is she still so eager to curry favor with them? Whether the Jiang Dynasty's reign ends or whether the Jiang clan can rule the entire human race, what does it have to do with her?

Jiang Sijin collapsed to the ground, gazing at Emperor Chang's tomb before letting out another heart-wrenching cry.

"Father."

"Father—Emperor!"

The mournful cries echoed among the tombs, but none of the deceased emperors responded to Jiang Sijin.

Emperor Chang was the only person who ever gave Jiang Sijin fatherly love, so Jiang Sijin valued his long-cherished wish more than her own life.

Emperor Chang hoped to restore the power of the Jiang Dynasty and achieve absolute rule over this land.

That's why Jiang Sijin planned her way forward, thinking she was living up to her father's expectations.

But the reality is so cruel—

Jiang Sijin thought she was an unlucky person who had mistakenly entered the imperial family, until today when she saw those bloody scenes—the sisters' corpses piled up like mountains in the mass grave, while her father and brothers looked down coldly by the shaman's platform, greedily seizing the shamanic power that they had nurtured with their flesh and blood.

Only then did they realize that she was actually a vengeful spirit formed from the resentment of hundreds of Jiang family women who died unjustly.

The vengeful spirit was extremely eager for revenge. Following its instincts, it reincarnated into the direct line of the Jiang family. However, before it could even begin to carry out its revenge, it died time and time again at the hands of its closest relatives.

Only Emperor Chang gave her a sliver of love, allowing her to feel that as a daughter, she could also be loved by her parents.

As Jiang Sijin cried, she suddenly vomited black blood. The blood trickled from her lips to her clothes, then followed the embroidered patterns onto the ground, where it bloomed into alluring little flowers.

"Why do I feel so much pain?" Jiang Sijin murmured to herself. "It hurts so much, something is biting me, but why don't I feel pain in my body? Instead, my heart hurts even more."

Jiang Sijin spat out another mouthful of black blood, which splattered directly onto the gate of Emperor Chang's tomb, blooming into a bewitching red spider lily.

At this moment, in a secluded mountain forest, the Celestial Master also spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to kill; I actually suffered a backlash from the formation."

The Celestial Master carefully examined the array on the ground, confirming that the color hadn't faded, but still wasn't entirely at ease. He then cut off a bowl of blood and smeared it on the array. Instantly, a dense killing intent enveloped the array.

When a formation is used to kill someone, a red dot the size of a bowl will appear in the center of the formation after the person dies, indicating that the person's life has been taken by the formation.

However, this time the formation's color has faded, and there's a faint indication that it's about to collapse.

The Celestial Master, protecting the array's core, was affected by the array's killing intent, which forced him to suffer internal injuries.

"This time I've really gone all out. I'm using the amount of blood from a bowl to draw this array. Even if you don't die, you'll be crippled!"

The Celestial Master's eyes revealed a ruthless glint; if he didn't kill Jiang Sijin, that senior would kill him.

Jiang Sijin, when you go to the cycle of reincarnation and meet the officials in charge of the underworld, don't forget to tell them that the person who took your life is named Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen slept for a whole day and night before she recovered. Pregnancy is indeed a demanding and exhausting thing. She only fell into a deep sleep when her body was extremely depleted.

Su Zhenzhen couldn't understand it. The reason she sent Hu Yu'er's soul back to its place was because it was unprecedented, and this was the first time since the beginning of time, so it naturally took some effort.

But this ship has clearly already been used, so summoning it again shouldn't be too much trouble.

It must be because of pregnancy.

Su Zhenzhen convinced herself of this.

"Hensheng, I'm going back to Yangcheng to send the people south by boat." Su Zhenzhen didn't want to waste a single moment.

He hated that he couldn't bear to let his beloved suffer, so he said, "Zhenzhen, I'll have Qingshan take some people over there. You're pregnant now, not like before."

Su Zhenzhen shook her head. "This boat can only move in the water because of me."

Hearing this, Hensheng became even more worried. "How can that be? How many people can this small boat carry? How many times will you have to row? Let's think about this more carefully."

Su Zhenzhen smiled but said nothing, and left the tent, with Hensheng following closely behind.

The small boat was placed in the open space between the tents, and its size was just right, making the tents appear much taller.

Su Zhenzhen had several nearby tents dismantled before she began to chant incantations and hand seals, "Use yourself to ferry souls, your own body is a boat that can carry ten thousand people."

The small boat, which could only hold three to five people, suddenly became much larger, now able to carry twenty to thirty people.

Su Zhenzhen smiled brightly, meeting Hensheng's gaze across the distance, her lips curving upwards like a crescent moon.

"This ship can carry all living beings in the world. It's no problem to take 200,000 people from Yangcheng to the south."

Hensheng's eyes were filled with worry, "Zhenzhen, your health..."

Su Zhenzhen was unaware that her face was pale and bloodless.

Hensheng didn't give Su Zhenzhen a chance to refuse. He simply picked her up and carried her back to the tent. Without saying a word, he bit his tongue and fed her blood mouth-to-mouth again.

The bloody kiss was captivating; their lips and teeth intertwined, inseparable, even their breaths were hot and scalding.

Hensheng didn't slowly withdraw until his tongue felt numb.

With the nourishment of the emperor's blood, Su Zhenzhen's complexion did indeed improve significantly.

Su Zhenzhen herself also felt more energetic, with abundant power flowing through her limbs and bones, enough to make the ship even bigger.

However, Su Zhenzhen scolded him, "You're making me look like a monster who drinks human blood."

Hensheng still felt a slight tingling pain on the tip of his tongue. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth, and the pain instantly amplified several times over, causing his ethereal face to tremble.

“Zhenzhen, it would be a monster to drink everyone’s blood, but you only drink mine.”

Su Zhenzhen's little scheme got the better of her, and she pressed on, "Then what am I?"

“You are—” Hensheng pulled her into his arms again, his warm breath brushing against her ear, “My wife. It is only natural for a husband to feed his wife with his own flesh and blood.”

Su Zhenzhen was terrified. Her ears, enveloped by the warm breath, turned a shameful blush.

Hensheng finally agreed to let Su Zhenzhen go to Yangcheng, but she had to drink a few mouthfuls of his blood before she left.

The bleeding site is, of course, the tip of the tongue, and the way to drink the blood is still mouth to mouth.

Once Su Zhenzhen was fully nourished and her energy was replenished, Hensheng was willing to let go of her and allow her to do whatever she wanted.

Su Zhenzhen first shrunk the boat to the size of her palm and carried it with her, then ran wildly towards Yangcheng.

Since the horse didn't have its own legs to obey, Su Zhenzhen also took a Rejuvenation Pill and a Strength Pill just in case.

She didn't want anything to happen to this child. It was just a long journey; her body could handle it.
