In the Fox Palace's prison, Bai Qingnian was bound hand and foot with spirit-binding ropes and tied to a cell, while Zhiyan lay on the ground, covered in blood and his life hanging in the balance.
Bai Qingnian slowly opened her eyes, her small face deathly pale.
It hurts...it hurts so much!
Father!
When Bai Qingnian opened her eyes, she saw Zhiyan lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Ah, Father..." Bai Qingnian said in a hoarse voice, wanting to see how Zhiyan was doing, but he was bound by the Spirit-Binding Rope and could not move at all.
Bai Fengfu knew that his cultivation level was not high and that he would not be able to escape from the prison, yet she still went to such great lengths to tie him up.
How ironic!
Everything that happened in the Grand Palace that day flashed before my eyes once again.
"Are you telling the truth?!" Bai Fengfu looked at Bai Qingnian with a cold expression.
"Reporting to the Fox Emperor, I cannot be mistaken. He does indeed possess the aura of a dragon!" Takihime (Jiao) said with certainty, her eyes filled with greed as she looked at Bai Qingnian.
As a fox, he could only acquire the aura of the dragon race by spending a lot of time with them, but that was obviously impossible.
Because the last dragon in the demon realm is Long Qianling, who is sealed in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils, it is impossible for them to stay together often, since she cannot get out at all. And if Bai Qingnian frequently went to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils, she would have been noticed long ago.
The only explanation for the aura emanating from him is that he is carrying a dragon egg!
"Bai! Ten! Nine!" Bai Fengfu gritted his teeth and shouted, raising his hand to unleash a burst of demonic power at Bai Qingnian.
"Year after year!"
Seeing this, Zhiyan hurriedly raised his hand and used his demonic power to defend himself, but he was no match for Bai Fengfu. He barely managed to block Bai Fengfu's demonic power aimed at Bai Qingnian, but he himself was sent flying.
But the moment he unleashed his demonic power, everyone present, except for the men who had never participated in the dragon slaying, was stunned.
This is not... the demonic power of the dragon race!
He's a dragon?!
No, that's not right either, he still has the demonic power of the fox clan!
He is a dragon-fox hybrid!
"Father!"
Bai Qingnian watched as his father was sent flying, and his heart tightened. He wanted to check on Zhiyan's condition, but as soon as he took a step, Bai Feng stopped him in place.
"Well done, well done! One of you has the blood of the dragon clan flowing through your veins, and the other is colluding with the dragon clan! You two are truly remarkable!" Bai Fengfu's face grew even more gloomy, and his demonic power surged around him. When he looked at Bai Qingnian, it was as if he were looking at a corpse.
"Fox Emperor, he must be pregnant!" Takihime said again.
"What did you say!" Bai Feng looked at Bai Qingnian's stomach with a cold expression. "You mean he's pregnant with a descendant of the dragon clan?"
"Probably because Long Qianling is sealed in the Abyss of Evil and can't get out, it's impossible for us to be together all the time, unless he's pregnant with a dragon egg, in which case he would have the aura of a dragon," Takihime explained.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Bai Shaoheng, standing to the side, was struck dumb. What? She's pregnant?
That bitch Bai Qingnian is pregnant with Long Qianling's child!?
No!
That's impossible!
Fake!
It's all fake!
How could Bai Qingnian be worthy of him? He's not worthy!
"No, impossible!" Bai Shaoheng shouted like a madman, quickly walked up to Bai Qingnian, grabbed his wrist and took his pulse.
He doesn't believe it!
But when he actually felt the pulse, he was completely stunned.
To maintain his image as a kind-hearted person, Bai Shaoheng had studied medicine at the Imperial Medical Academy, so he was able to discern Bai Qingnian's pulse simply by taking a pulse.
Joy, a happy pulse...
"Let me go!"
Bai Qingnian was frozen in place and unable to move, but when she saw Bai Shaoheng's heartbroken expression, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Could he possibly like the big black dragon? Otherwise, why would he make that face?
"Bai Shijiu! How dare you! How dare you get pregnant with Long Qianling's child!" Bai Shaoheng suddenly went crazy and grabbed Bai Qingnian's wrist forcefully.
His words proved that Bai Qingnian was indeed pregnant.
"Shaoheng, step down," Bai Fengfu said with a gloomy face as he walked to the two of them.
Upon hearing her voice, Bai Shaoheng finally regained some composure. When his gaze fell upon Bai Fengfu's face, which was so dark it seemed to drip water, he released his grip on Bai Qingnian's wrist.
Then, after turning back and glaring fiercely at Bai Qingnian, he stepped aside.
Even if he didn't kill Bai Qingnian himself, his mother wouldn't let him go.
His mother loathed dragons so much that not only Bai Qingnian, but even his dragon-fox hybrid father would not have a good end.
"You, as my descendant, have colluded with the Dragon Clan and even conceived her bastard child. Do you know your crime!" Bai Feng stared straight at Bai Qingnian, using her power to force Bai Qingnian to kneel before her.
Bai Qingnian was pressed to the ground, but she stubbornly looked up and stared back at the woman in front of her who was her nominal mother.
"She's not an illegitimate child! I'm innocent too!"
"Rebellious son!"
Just after Bai Qingnian finished speaking, Bai Fengfu raised her hand and waved it, sending Bai Qingnian flying backward and crashing into a pillar not far behind her.
“Nian Nian…” Zhi Yan struggled to get up from the ground and ran towards Bai Qing Nian in a disheveled state.
Bai Qingnian slipped to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth, but he didn't care about himself and covered his stomach in fear.
"My baby...my baby..."
"Niannian, how are you? Niannian... tell Daddy where it hurts?"
Zhiyan knelt down beside Bai Qingnian with a thud, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. She reached out shakily to pick Bai Qingnian up.
"Father...it hurts, it hurts so much...my baby..." Bai Qingnian curled up on the ground in pain, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands.
Will his baby be alright...?
"Niannian, just bear with it, Father will take you away now, take you to find the demon doctor..." Zhiyan hugged Bai Qingnian into his arms and looked around.
The palace was packed, but no one offered to help; instead, they all remained indifferent.
He knew that he and his child would not be leaving this place today.
It's all his fault! He regretted not letting Niannian go to the human world with Long Qianling that day, but it was too late.
“Father…” Bai Qingnian struggled to raise his hand and grasp Zhiyan’s hand.
He knew all too well that they couldn't get out and would likely die here today.
Big Black Dragon, I'm sorry, I failed to protect our little one...
“With Father here, I’m not afraid, Father is here!” Zhiyan held Bai Qingnian’s hand tightly, completely unaware that danger was about to strike.
"Leave? Where do you think you're going? Today is the day you two traitors die." Bai Fengfu sneered, already standing behind Zhiyan.
"Men, cripple this old bastard who's half-dragon and half-fox!"
