Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya felt a surge of helplessness.
She couldn't defeat those from the upper realm.
Even if the path to ascension opens and she can attain immortality and ascend to the upper realm, she will still be just a newbie and won't be able to beat those seasoned veterans.
However... she is the kind of person who never gives up easily; she will seize any opportunity, no matter how small.
Having lived two lives, Ye Xianya knows that she has a high talent for cultivation and a strong comprehension. What she lacks now is time!
"I will work harder to cultivate and return to the Upper Realm as soon as possible, so that you can also ascend," Qi Chengshuo said softly, holding Ye Xianya's hand.
"Hmm." Ye Xianya nodded: "No matter what Lan Chenyin's purpose is, at least you have one goal in common, which is to return to the Upper Realm as soon as possible. With her here, your safety is at least guaranteed. Just focus on your cultivation these days."
"Alright, I'll visit you at the Princess's residence when I have time," Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
Upon learning that Ye Xianya had feelings for him and was willing to marry him, Qi Chengshuo was naturally overjoyed and wished he could see her every day. However, he had more important things to do now, which was also for their future.
“I remember that the White Ape Demon King once said that the Demon Emperor had people in the Upper Realm. Before, when the Demon Emperor sent those Demon Kings to kill you, it was also at the behest of people in the Upper Realm. At that time, you and I didn’t care too much about this matter, after all, the path to ascension had not yet been opened, and people could not come down. But now it’s different. Lan Chenyin can come down, so others can come down too. Therefore… improving our strength is urgent.”
Ye Xianya looked at Qi Chengshuo and said, "You should go back now. Don't worry about things in the court. I'll talk to Father about it."
She touched the communication talisman at her waist: "When you have time, let's communicate."
Meeting in person takes a lot of time, but exchanging a few words during breaks in practice is fine.
Qi Chengshuo smiled, and after a moment he let go and left the palace.
After he left, Ye Xianya quickly took out the spiritual herbs and fruits from her Qiankun bag and began to cultivate diligently, striving to recover all her strength as soon as possible.
Of course, she also needs to control herself a little.
As her strength increased, Ye Xianya began to vaguely sense that the Heavenly Dao was watching her.
Once her strength exceeds the limits that this world can contain, a tribulation of lightning will descend.
However, the path to ascension has not yet been opened.
She didn't want to be struck by lightning again, just like in her previous life.
No wonder the Demon Emperor has been hiding in the forbidden area, afraid to come out. He must be afraid of being struck by lightning and dying without a burial place.
She now hopes that Qi Chengshuo's strength will improve quickly so that he can return to the Upper Realm as soon as possible.
...
Two days later, under Ye Xianya's protection, Ye Miaoyun gave birth to a son without much pain.
Qi Jiu was so happy that he shed tears. If Ye Miaoyun hadn't stopped him, this newborn child would have been named the crown prince.
Because the baby was well cared for in the womb, it was born exceptionally strong and had a particularly loud cry.
Ye Xianya also personally drew upon some spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cleanse her newborn brother's marrow and bones.
This child already had a foundation laid in the womb, and since newborns naturally possess innate energy, it would be incredibly easy to help him establish his Dao foundation at this time.
Even if he doesn't embark on the path of cultivation in the future, he will still be very healthy and will hardly ever get sick.
This is also why the descendants of many spiritual practitioners are very strong.
Because I laid a good foundation!
"Father, Mother, this child will develop faster and better than other children. He will speak earlier, walk earlier, and be smarter than his peers. You should be prepared and don't be too surprised when the time comes," Ye Xianya said with a smile.
"Good, good, good!" Ye Miaoyun and Qi Jiu couldn't stop smiling upon hearing this.
"Xianya, let's give your little brother a nickname!" Ye Miaoyun said with a smile, holding her daughter's hand.
Qi Jiu had already decided on the child's name: Qi Chengzong.
“As his older sister, all I wish for is for him to grow up safely and have a smooth life, so let’s name him… Kang’er!” Ye Xianya said.
"Alright, let's call him Kang'er!" Qi Jiu held the child in her arms and gently touched his delicate little face: "Little Kang'er, you must listen to your sister from now on!"
He and Miaoyun are not young anymore, and they don't know how much longer they can stay with Kang'er.
But the Immortal Sprout is different. The Immortal Sprout is a cultivator, destined to live to be a hundred years old, or even... immortal.
Having such a sister is truly a blessing Kang'er earned in her past life.
"Father, stay and talk with Mother for a while. I'll take Kang'er out first!" Ye Xianya said as she reached out and hugged her younger brother.
It was cold outside, and Ye Miaoyun wanted to tell her daughter not to take the child out, since the warm room where the child lived could be reached by going through the outer room. However, after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
My daughter isn't a child; she knows what she's doing.
Moreover, her son is different from ordinary children; there's no need to spoil him too much.
Ye Xianya really liked the newborn baby.
After all, he was someone she watched grow up and be born.
From the time Kang'er was only the size of a small grape, Ye Xianya saw him in her mother's belly.
In addition, as a cultivator, she could sense the power of bloodlines, so she naturally felt very close to her younger brother.
Ye Xianya stayed with the little guy for a while before reluctantly leaving.
...
Meanwhile, on the banks of the still river, Ma Cai'er, now a man, sat on the ice, lost in thought.
She is dead, and her body is still under the ice; it has not been retrieved.
After all... it was too cold, and there were only a few ice holes on the ice that people used for fishing.
But her father did not give up. Every day, he would tie a rope around himself and jump down into the ice hole to search for her body.
For three whole days, every day at this time she would come and see her father jump down into the ice hole to look for her.
Chen Dayong and his eldest son Chen Yu, who lived next door, were holding a rope on the shore. When the time was right, they pulled on the rope and forcibly dragged her father ashore.
Yesterday, the father and son couldn't move it, so they asked Ma Cai'er to come and help.
"Brother Liu, come help us pull people out!" Chen Yu shouted as soon as he saw that it was almost time.
Upon hearing this, Ma Cai'er stood up and quickly ran over to help them pull her father ashore.
Now, her soul is trapped inside this man's body, and in the eyes of others, she is Liu Tianhe.
"Brother Liu, thank you so much for today!" Chen Yu patted Ma Cai'er on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Ma Cai'er nodded upon hearing this, without saying a word.
Three days ago, she scratched her face until it was covered in scabs, which looked terrifying. But Ma Cai'er didn't care because she didn't want this man's body at all.
After he left, Chen Tianhe's soul returned. Without his handsome face, he could no longer deceive those women.
