It wasn't that she couldn't escape; rather, the fact that she was being held tightly by Yun Shu's wrist meant that Yun Shu was controlling her movements.

"Once I seize your cloud technique and gain a new life within my body, I will only become stronger."

Yuwen Yong was extremely excited at the thought, then looked at the fork in the road ahead, sneered, and waved his hand. Instantly, a woman who looked almost exactly like Nan Lingqin appeared. However, her expression was cold, and her eyes were empty. Clearly, she was someone controlled by Yuwen Yong using cloud magic. Moreover, there were wounds on her face and neck.

It's obvious that this face was only recently made.

"You've really prepared thoroughly for this."

"nature."

"You can't fool Yuwen Yao."

Yuwen Yong ignored her, raised his hand and waved, and the woman ran to the other side.

However, Yuwen Yong was unaware that the moment he turned around, a faint fragrance emanated from Nan Lingqin's sleeve, all of which went towards the puppet.

After an incense stick's time, Yuwen Yao arrived at this place, paused for a moment, and then headed towards one of the exits.

...

Yuwen Yong led Nan Lingqin until there was no movement behind them before stopping in a small grove of trees.

"It seems your Yuwen Yao has been fooled after all."

Yuwen Yongrong was very pleased with himself. His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Nan Lingqin, and his pale face was showing signs of excitement.

Nan Lingqin could feel that the cloud power that Yuwen Yong had used to restrain her was now rushing into her internal organs with fiery force, as greedy as the man himself, wanting to seize her cloud technique in an instant.

But……

Nan Lingqin was not in a hurry at all. On her cold face, a smile gradually spread from the corners of her eyes and brows, which was inexplicably creepy to Yuwen Yongrong.

"Nan Lingqin, what are you laughing at? Do you really think that just because I'm injured, I can't absorb your spiritual techniques? Let me tell you, it's possible without a medium, it just won't be as smooth as it used to be. I've known this for a long time, it doesn't matter who's stronger or weaker when it comes to seizing cloud techniques, as long as you get the first move..."

Yuwen Yong's voice suddenly froze, and then his face instantly turned extremely ugly. He looked at Nan Lingqin in disbelief and shock.

"You, you actually...you..."

Yuwen Yong's voice choked, and his other hand, which was about to touch Nan Lingqin's abdomen, suddenly froze in mid-air. His face turned ashen.

Nan Lingqin then slowly chuckled.

"Yes, Yuwen Yong, do you think you're the only one in this world who has mastered the Yun Clan's arts to the extreme? Don't forget, I am the daughter of the Yun Clan's patriarch. You certainly wouldn't understand, but I figured it out a few days ago. You wanted the Yun arts so much, but when my mother opened the Yun Clan's gates, the Yun arts were already completely shared. You understood that later, so why didn't you take action? With your scheming skills, even if my mother was incredibly powerful, she would inevitably make a mistake. But you didn't take action. Why? I've always wanted to know why."

While Yuwen Yong was stunned and bewildered, Nan Lingqin suddenly grabbed him from behind, her palm radiating a powerful force that forced him to hold her hand tightly.

"That's because my mother is pregnant. She's carrying me. In the Yun Clan, if someone is pregnant, the child is like a vessel. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. Although it's small, it defends itself fiercely and can even absorb your Yun Clan's power."

The truth was exposed, and Yuwen Yong's expression changed. His lips trembled, and his sharp eyes were filled with venom. "You..."

"This is called 'Heaven wants you to die, and you have no choice but to die.'"

Nan Lingqin twirled her hand and slapped Yuwen Yong's chest, saying, "I don't want your cloud magic, I want you to die with nowhere to hide."

Caught off guard, the sudden and devastating blow left Yuwen Yong stunned, putting him at a complete disadvantage in that instant.

By the time he tried to retaliate, Nan Lingqin had already tossed him high into the air and struck him with almost all her might, shattering his heart.

"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood spurted from Yuwen Yong's mouth, splattering everywhere.

"You, you...I...Xu Yiran...he will die too."

"Won't."

Nan Lingqin looked at him and suddenly smiled, "The cloud magic within you is enough to save him." As soon as Nan Lingqin finished speaking, just as Yuwen Yong was about to commit suicide, she grabbed his hand and said in a cold voice, "Without my order, you shall not die."

"Nan Lingqin, you are so insidious, so...insidious."

"Likewise."

“You and your mother… are not the same, not the same…”

“Of course, my mother passed on her invincible wisdom to me.” Nan Lingqin waved her hand behind her as she spoke.

Immediately, Bai Yu and Nie Zui'er helped the unconscious Xu Yiran over.

"To avoid being exposed, I even knocked Miss Lan unconscious. I'm so sorry." Nie Zuier said this with a guilty tone, but there was no trace of guilt on her face.

"Lay him flat," Nan Lingqin said.

"I said, shouldn't we keep this risk a secret from the Northern Emperor?"

"No need, I'm here, don't be afraid." Nan Lingqin was truly thoughtful, patting her chest to assure her.

Nie Zuier and Bai Yu exchanged a glance.

"After this is done, we need to go into seclusion for a while."

Bai Yu said, and Nie Zuier curled her lips, deeply agreeing.

"Don't be afraid. I just touched Yuwen Yong's puppet. It has my scent and aroma on it. Yuwen Yao will keep chasing it."

Upon hearing this, Nie Zuier glanced at her, her gaze deep and unfathomable...

"Nan Lingqin, will your married life be fulfilling in the future?"

"Get out of here! Quick, save people!"

Just as Nie Zuier and Bai Yu were about to move, they suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly. Then, belatedly, they looked up at Nan Lingqin and said, "You're pregnant..."
