Zaun then tried to probe indirectly several times, but unfortunately, Kachir was exceptionally cunning and didn't reveal much useful information.
He knew the other party seemed a bit suspicious, and didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he didn't press the matter.
In the days that followed, everyone was busy making arrangements for their own affairs.
The Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons is opened once every hundred years. In addition to the usual ancestral worship, the corpses of dragons that have died in recent years are also buried in the tomb.
Some old dragons, knowing they don't have much time left to live, are even willing to enter the tomb early to spend the rest of their lives.
To avoid the fact that the dragons might die within a few years of opening the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, and the next opening might be hundreds of years later—after all, it's not always possible to gather enough dragon corpses to bury, so there's no need to open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.
If a corpse were left outside for hundreds of years, it might become a wandering ghost. How could that compare to returning to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, where the soul could return to the embrace of the Dragon God sooner, and perhaps be reincarnated as a dragon again sooner?
Therefore, the ceremony held by the sea tribes is always exceptionally grand each time the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons is opened.
As is customary, the Dragon King and Queen would spend a great deal of effort preparing for these rituals. Zu'an took this opportunity to make a public appearance with Shang Hongyu, ostensibly to finalize various details, but in reality to investigate the people that demons and hell had planted among the sea creatures.
Given his diligent efforts in completing the "conquest" of Shang Hongyu and his ability to use the Crown of the Sea God, both sides trusted him and did not suspect his actions.
After a period of time, I have gained quite a bit.
Soon it was time for the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons to open.
On this day, Shang Hongyu was dressing up in her finest attire with the help of palace maids when suddenly her expression changed, and she ran to the side and began to vomit.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The palace maid beside her was startled.
"It's nothing, let's continue." Shang Hongyu forced a smile, then returned to her seat and gestured for the other person to start applying makeup.
Not long after, she ran to the side again and started retching. After several repetitions, she became unsteady on her feet.
"Let's call the imperial physician," a palace maid suggested, but Shang Hongyu stopped her.
At this moment, Shang Liuyu, disguised as a palace maid, suddenly spoke up: "Could she be pregnant?"
The other palace maids suddenly realized, "That's right! These days, the Dragon King has been favoring the Queen every day, just like a newlywed couple. The Queen's cries are so sweet that they make everyone blush. She's been radiant these days, looking much more beautiful than usual. I wonder how much essence the Dragon King has given her."
The news spread quickly. By the time Zaun, Kachir, and several demon bosses arrived, Shang Hongyu was already resting in bed, having apparently just fainted.
"Pregnancy can cause such a strong reaction?" Kachir asked with some doubt.
The Flame Demon Sea Siren chuckled and said, "You don't understand, do you? If it were really the Dragon King who impregnated her, there wouldn't be such a big reaction. But have you forgotten his identity?"
Now that they have dismissed their attendants, they are no longer afraid of being overheard.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Shang Hongyu on the bed in the distance. He thought to himself that this mermaid was truly beautiful, and now that she was pregnant, it was even more exciting. After he came out of the tomb, he would find a way to lure away the Lord of All Life and Change, and he would definitely have some fun with this mermaid.
Hearing his words, Kachi immediately felt relieved. Yes, the other party was a demon. Who knows what kind of monster would be born from the union of a demon and a mermaid queen? No wonder the queen reacted so strongly; she probably couldn't conceive.
At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Crocodile Ancestor and the Fear Shadow Demon were also secretly communicating through telepathy:
"The Lord of All Changes is truly amazing; he actually managed to get the Mermaid Queen pregnant."
"Do you think the one born will be a mermaid or another being who can create all things?"
"It's probably more like the Lord of All Changes, after all, he's more powerful."
In the vast universe, whoever is stronger has a more dominant bloodline.
Seeing the guys gossiping there, and not suspecting that Shang Hongyu was faking it, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, which saved him a lot of trouble explaining.
While they were having fun these days, both of them knew very well that they couldn't risk someone's life at this crucial juncture, so Shang Hongyu's pregnancy was obviously fake.
It was just an excuse to keep her outside so she could do other things.
At this moment, Kachir suddenly frowned and said, "If the Queen is unwell, what should be done with the rest of the ceremony?"
The Flame Demon Siren said dismissively, "The ceremony doesn't necessarily require her. Besides, there's another sister-in-law."
Kachir thought about it and agreed to the plan.
After everyone left, Zuan announced the good news of the Queen's pregnancy, granting a general amnesty and allowing the entire clan to celebrate.
The sea creatures erupted in cheers, for the more of their king's bloodline, the better.
Naturally, no one objected to the Queen staying in the palace to rest.
Many loyal ministers were overjoyed. They had thought the sea tribe would be thrown into chaos when the Queen was suddenly put on arrest warrants. Now that the two sides had reconciled and their relationship was even better than before, it was a happy ending for everyone.
Of course, there are also people who are not happy about it, such as Ao Yong.
Upon hearing this news, his fingernails inside his sleeves almost dug into his flesh.
Damn it, damn it!
That bastard actually got the queen pregnant!
It might have happened that night!
He trembled as he thought of the high-pitched moan he heard outside the courtyard wall that night.
You're about to be mine, how can you get pregnant with someone else's child at this time!
Anger from Ao Yong: +999 +999 +999...
Sensing the fury flooding the comments section, Zuan glared at him, thinking to himself, "Is this guy out of his mind?"
