Wu Wei seized the opportunity to persuade Zheng Ya to marry the eldest daughter of the Eagle King's family, hinting at a counterattack against the Ning King's faction.
Zheng Ya pretended to be clueless and ignorant: "You make yourself sound so pitiful, but you're actually much better off than me."
After all, you and I each occupy a fortress, and our income and the pressure we face are different…
"What's mine is yours. Don't you acknowledge me even now?" Wu Wei interrupted him impatiently.
At this very moment, the eleven great families are all busy opening a new teleportation portal and have no time to deal with the marriage alliance with Zheng Ya, making it a golden opportunity to advance.
If we miss this opportunity, the powerful Ning Prince faction might intervene, and the consequences could be unpredictable.
In fact, even Wu Wei did not expect that Prince Ning would come here in person to oversee things. The situation that he thought he had won turned around and he lost the initiative.
This is tantamount to ruining Wu Wei's future.
She is currently unable to gain Zheng Ya's approval and is likely to be expelled by the Prince of Ning's faction, thus missing out on the opportunity to rise to power.
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "If one move is lost, the whole game is lost."
At this moment, Wu Wei's complaints that the seven great families were all incompetent and couldn't even get things done were of no use.
The only way out is to submit to Zheng Ya!
Zheng Ya felt like she was being roasted on a fire. She couldn't trust anyone, not even herself, but she was unsure of which way to go: "Do you think it would be useful for me to approve of you?"
Prince Ning slapped me in the face in public, didn't you see?
That means I have to act according to his wishes. He told me to get rid of you, so what am I supposed to do?
"Take me, okay?" Wu Wei was going all out. She was determined to make it a fait accompli and refused to believe that Prince Ning could still control everything.
Zheng Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's no use."
You must understand the principle that women are like clothes, and brothers are like limbs.
"Your loss of virginity to me has no impact on me, but it's a devastating blow to you..."
"What should I do?!" Wu Wei cried out in desperation, a panic she had never experienced before overwhelming her, to the point that she even wanted to die.
Once she loses her virginity, she also loses the right to marry Zheng Ya. Her fate is to be abandoned by her family, or even secretly executed.
A woman from a prominent family is nothing once she loses her value in marriage alliances.
Of course, those who reach the fifth rank or above are another matter, but for scions of noble families to cultivate to the fifth rank, they need a massive amount of resources and treasures to support them. If they are not direct descendants and the objects of favor, they should not even dream about it.
Wu Wei's identity was merely that of a concubine's daughter.
Only daughters of noble families who are not born into high society are sent to various realms to train and strengthen themselves.
True legitimate daughters are all pampered young ladies, living in luxury and waiting to be married.
It guarantees the original spouse's purity, and there is no possibility that the spouse has been through countless lifetimes in various realms, resulting in the defilement of their soul and loss of purity.
That would mean losing the honorable right to be married and not being worthy of being the primary wife or concubine of the Starry Sky Inspector.
This established Wu Wei's lowly status and awkward situation.
This is why Wu Wei fought so desperately.
Zheng Ya was unaware of the inside story, but she had to keep up the act: "Don't ask me anymore, I can't even protect myself right now."
They couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong; all they wanted was to protect their families and take care of the humans on the three planets.
As for the rest, let fate decide!
"No, you're lying. You weren't always so passive and uncooperative. You always faced challenges head-on. Why are you being so cowardly now?"
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Wu Wei, desperate and grasping at straws, threw out this soul-searching question.
Zheng Ya smiled wryly and said, "You said it yourself, that was in the past?"
We once dominated the Blue Star, rampaging across the Hongli Continent and were invincible. Now, what are we but ants?
Do you expect me to be like an ant trying to shake a tree?
"Haha, yes, we used to be so glorious, but now we've become little ants to be crushed by others. But I'm not reconciled!" Wu Wei roared, clutching her head, her eyes bloodshot, unwilling to accept mediocrity.
Zheng Ya seized the opportunity and said, "I have no idea what a marriage alliance is like, facing mountains of knives and seas of fire."
“Yes, a marriage alliance. We’ve already formed a marriage alliance. Give me a child…” Wu Wei thought of something and turned around to grab Zheng Ya’s right arm, pleading.
In that instant, I remembered Zheng Ya getting someone pregnant on Earth.
Once someone becomes pregnant with a Star Watcher's child, they will receive official protection and enjoy the same benefits as Star Watchers, with at least a ten-year period of peace and security.
Zheng Ya was taken aback and shook his head in denial: "Are you sure that the people from Prince Ning's faction didn't see through your pregnancy condition just now?"
I think the risks of forging documents are beyond what you and I can bear, right?
"What do you mean by that?"
"Did you get pregnant for other women before, and the children they carried weren't yours...?" Wu Wei was stunned. How could this be?
Zheng Ya shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not my bloodline seed."
Rather, it was a seed of spiritual power that, through my special ability, evolved into hormones that could induce pregnancy, yet the offspring born only bore a slight resemblance…
This was a fact that Zheng Ya only realized later.
In fact, the most fundamental reason for a woman's pregnancy is the yin-yang balance of the human spirit and will attached to her bloodline, which promotes the germination and birth of a new life.
Children born from consanguineous marriages are more prone to deformities because while the couple shares similar mental and physical traits, they also have some differences, resulting in a loss of the balance of yin and yang, thus producing deformed or mutated offspring.
In fact, willpower plays a decisive role in fostering development.
The probability of bloodline inheritance is less than 30%, so unilateral pregnancy and fetal development are not a problem for bloodline inheritance.
This is how human wisdom is born: primarily spiritual wisdom, with bloodline inheritance as a secondary factor.
Wu Wei wouldn't listen to any of these reasons, crying and pleading, "I don't care, I don't care! If you don't give me a child today, I'll kill myself..."
"Alright, please stay away from me. This is the last time I'll help you. From now on, it's best if we sever all ties." Zheng Ya pushed her away, waved his hand, and activated his special ability, giving her a child was a piece of cake.
Wu Wei felt a tingling sensation in her lower abdomen, followed by a pulse of life. Overjoyed, she cried, "Thank you, I won't bother you anymore."
But you must publicly acknowledge the existence of my son and me, otherwise…
"I'll try my best, you can go now." Zheng Ya waved her away, and Wu Wei left with tears streaming down her face, turning back every few steps as if she were moved.
However, Zheng Ya had no time to pay attention to her changing expression. He strode into the interstellar spaceship control room and was greeted by Li Yunlong's bear hug: "I'm sorry to have wronged you!"
"It's pretentious. It's not shameful to humble yourself and admit defeat when you're not as strong as others," Zheng Ya comforted himself, but a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. When would he finally get through this?
Li Yunlong released him and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Humanity on our three planets is counting on your rise; you can't afford to get hurt!
"Yes, I'm fine. It's you guys who are in trouble. Hurry up and assemble a special operations team to enter the eleven fortresses that should belong to me and cooperate with the Ning King's faction to garrison the fortresses."
"We can't just be driven out like this, losing our fortified front is equivalent to losing our hunting energy core resources, which would cut off our cultivation path on our three planets. From now on, we'll only be able to depend on others and be slaves!" Zheng Ya was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Even if we were to form eleven special forces teams to cooperate with the Ning Prince's faction in defending the fortified front, it would still be a humiliating experience. Therefore, this mission was something we had to fight for, but what we were fighting for was humiliation.
It is also about defending sovereignty, which is sacred and inviolable!
Personal honor or disgrace means nothing during this period.
This requires special operations team members to have exceptionally high professional qualities; otherwise, they will only make things worse and suffer more losses than gains.
After all, Zheng Ya no longer trusts the Ning Prince's faction. The matters he discussed with Xie Hui, the head of the Xie clan, were merely verbal agreements. Anyone who took them seriously would be a fool.
All actions must be based on reality. Zheng Ya didn't know how to face the scions of these aristocratic families next.
