Hua Xiangyun quietly pinched his waist, and Jiang Yi quickly grabbed her hand, silently begging for mercy.
Hua Xiangyun snorted coldly, "This child isn't even here yet, but you're thinking so far ahead."
Besides, do you think our children would be so easily stolen?
However, this did remind her that she needed to get some insurance for her nephew later.
Jiang Yi glanced furtively at her stomach and muttered under his breath, "Looks like I still haven't tried hard enough..."
Hua Xiangyun, "..."

After a long period of exploration, Wu Chenxi and his team finally saw the main tomb slowly open before them.
Jinshan, fearing there might be more accidents inside, used his magical artifact to shield the enemy.
The others also prepared themselves, not wanting to be the main force, but also not wanting to be a hindrance.
As the main burial chamber opened, everyone stared at the empty tomb hall, speechless.
Just when everyone thought it was just an elaborate scam, they vaguely noticed several stone doors in the surrounding walls.
If you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all.
"Is this never going to end?" Li Ai angrily kicked the wall, and Jin Shan immediately frowned and looked at her.
In such a tomb passage, the most taboo thing is to touch things carelessly. How could Li Ai forget such a principle?
Li Ai hadn't forgotten, but she had just lost her temper and now regretted it. However, seeing no unexpected incident, she felt justified, saying, "I was just a little angry just now, and I definitely won't do it next time."
Jinshan glanced at her and made up his mind that he would try not to let Li Ai participate in important missions in the future, as there were too many things to do along the way.
Wu Chenxi curiously looked around the main tomb chamber, which could only be described as bare.
On the flat land, there was nothing but a thick layer of dust.
They put in so much effort and overcame so many obstacles, only to end up like this.
However, the doors on the side had already attracted the attention of the others, who were each staring at one of the doors and studying it carefully.
After circling around, Jinshan confirmed that this place was neither a formation nor an illusion.
"Where do we go?" With so many doors, Li Ai and the others were completely bewildered.
Since it's impossible to go back the way we came, we can only choose one of the several doors.
Gu Zicheng chose a good location, sat down cross-legged, and took out a tortoise shell to perform divination. He had to choose a "life gate" from these gates.
No one bothered him; now everyone is hoping that his divination can help them choose the right path.
Wu Doumi said, "I'm going to learn a lot about the legendary Five Sufferings and Five Paths today."
Jinshan pointed to the door they had just come through and said, "There are more than five doors here. Don't forget the one we just came through."
Wu Doumi said, "The minister is right, but what we have learned is the path we have taken, and these are the choices we should make."
Seeing his persistence, Jinshan didn't argue with him and focused all his attention on Gu Zicheng. Now it was up to Gu Zicheng to make his choice.
When Gu Zicheng put down the tortoise shell in his hand, his forehead was covered in sweat. "Every door is fraught with danger, yet also holds a glimmer of hope. I cannot determine which number is more auspicious."
Li Ai curled her lip in disdain. "So this is a family of fortune tellers? They're nothing special."
There are five doors here. Are they going to try to get through them one by one?
Jinshan looked at the door in front of him, then counted the number of people in their group, and gritted his teeth to make a decision: "Let's each choose a door. Whether it's auspicious or inauspicious depends on our individual abilities."
Wu Doumi immediately objected, "We had such a difficult time getting here before, if I go alone, I'll probably die."
We came here hoping for a stroke of luck, but we only have one life, so we can't afford to act recklessly.
Jinshan said, "Of course, I'm not letting you work for nothing. You choose a door to go through, and you get 50% of the spoils inside."
Originally, the benefits to be shared among everyone after this trip were only one-tenth of what they had gained, but his words made everyone's eyes light up.
At the same time, he turned his head and stared at the doors in front of him, wondering which one was the right choice to take.
As for danger, everyone has some trump cards to protect themselves; taking a gamble is not out of the question.
Seeing that Wu Chenxi hadn't made a move, Jinshan assumed she had some concerns. "If you feel it's not appropriate, you can leave. We've been able to get in without any problems."
Wu Chenxi is skilled in formations and has some trump cards, but her combat strength may not be as good as the others. If she wants to withdraw now, he has no objection.
Wu Chenxi shook her head. "We've come all this way, it would be a bit unfair not to go in and take a look. It's okay, I'll take care of the rest after you've finished choosing."
Hearing this, Li Ai turned to look at her and said, "Your tone is quite arrogant. I think Minister Jin's opinion is very good. You should go back quickly and not let your first mission end up being a disaster."
Wu Chenxi said, "You should take better care of yourself. With your temper, you're going down your own path. Don't end up with no one to help you and you end up ruining yourself."
"Are you cursing me..." Li Ai was so angry that she wanted to attack Wu Chenxi, but under Jin Shan's gaze, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. "Hmph! This challenge isn't something you can just do by setting up a few formations. I hope your luck is as good as before."
Having already left a very bad impression on Minister Jin and his group, Li Ai knew she couldn't go too far, otherwise any good things she might do next time would be blocked.
Going out on your own to find opportunities really requires luck, but having the entire Xuanbu behind you is different. You're exceptionally well-informed and have more power.
Wu Chenxi ignored the malice in her words and didn't want to pay her any more attention.
Wu Doumi kept his eyes on Gu Zicheng. He refused to believe that the guy hadn't figured out the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the place. He was determined to argue with him once Gu Zicheng made his choice.
Jinshan urged everyone, "Hurry up, everyone. I gave you all the SOS talismans I gave you before. Even if I can't get there immediately, you have to hold on for a little longer and give yourselves a better chance."
This is the biggest promise he can make: he hopes everyone can get out of here safely.
Gu Zicheng knew someone was waiting for him to make a choice, so he calmly walked up to Wu Chenxi and said, "I have a piece of blood jade here. I wonder if I could ask for a protective talisman."
Wu Chenxi gave him a knowing look, "Let me see, and I'll give it to you if it's suitable."
Gu Zicheng was not surprised; it's normal to inspect the goods before making a transaction.
“This piece of blood jade is not bad,” Wu Chenxi felt the yin energy about to overflow as soon as she picked it up, but it was suppressed by the talisman engraved on it.
This thing is fatal to ordinary people, but for cultivators, if used well, it might even help them advance to a higher level.
"Are you really going to trade this for it?" Wu Chenxi asked again to confirm. She wouldn't easily part with such a valuable item.
Ideally, any transaction should be mutually agreeable; she didn't want the other party to regret it after she left.
