Wei Chen scrutinized Elegant, causing her heart to race. She averted her gaze, unable to meet his eyes any longer.
There was something frightening about Wei Chen's stare. If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter much, but Wei Chen's strength was overwhelming. His gaze made Elegant feel as if he could see right through her.
Although Elegant didn't mind having any kind of relationship with Wei Chen and wouldn't hesitate to bare herself for him to admire her figure, being scrutinized so intensely made her uncomfortable.
Wei Chen led Elegant into a room within Shenzhou, closed the door, and waved his hand to set up a defensive barrier, blocking any prying eyes. He sensed that after boarding the Warship, the Dark Mage had released a hint of Mental Strength to keep an eye on both him and Elegant.
Wei Chen understood the Dark Mage's curiosity regarding his granddaughter-in-law. However, when it came to his privacy, it didn't matter who you were or whether your intentions were good; Wei Chen was indifferent. In short, he wanted no one snooping around—there was no way to hide from him.
In the room, their eyes met, and Elegant felt even more nervous.
She realized that her usual calmness and cleverness had nearly vanished under Wei Chen's gaze.
Before this meeting, Elegant had treated Wei Chen like a big brother in every aspect—business or personal feelings. According to the years in Soul World, she was indeed older than him.
But now, Wei Chen's power had surged to an unimaginable level for Elegant. She couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for him.
Thus, she could no longer view Wei Chen as a younger brother. The situation had changed drastically; under his scrutinizing gaze, she felt exposed as if being examined with a magnifying glass, leaving her anxious.
After observing Elegant for a long time, Wei Chen finally pointed to a chair and said softly, "Sister Qingya, let's sit down and talk."
Elegant nodded and took a seat. She asked proactively, "Wei Chen, everything I just saw—the Army, those powerful beings, those Warships—are they all part of your forces?"
"Yes, they are," Wei Chen replied with a nod.
Elegant gave him a thumbs-up and said, "I always thought you would become a top powerhouse in Soul World. But back then, I underestimated how far you would go. You're not just a top powerhouse in Soul World; you're among the elite across countless Spatial Planes."
"Sister Qingya, you don't need to flatter me; that praise is unnecessary. Let's get down to business," Wei Chen said lightly as he looked at Elegant.
Her face flushed slightly as she lowered her head and murmured, "Wei Chen, what do you mean by business?"
Wei Chen glanced at Elegant's abdomen and said calmly, "Sister Qingya, your baby is about a month along now, isn't it?"
Upon hearing his words, Elegant's face instantly turned crimson. Previously she had only suspected it; after Wei Chen's remark, she could confirm that she was indeed pregnant!
What should be done about this?
Elegant lowered her head deeply, her neck turning red, not daring to speak.
"Sister Qingya, if my sensing is correct, the bloodline of the child in your womb is mine?" Wei Chen looked at Elegant, puzzled.
Elegant remained silent for a moment, then lifted her head and glanced weakly at Wei Chen before lowering it again, murmuring, "I’m pregnant with your child. Aren't you happy?"
Wei Chen felt a mix of frustration and confusion. This wasn't just about happiness; it was about his complete ignorance of the situation. There was an inexplicable feeling surrounding that life—what was he supposed to do?
With a helpless smile, Wei Chen sat down beside Elegant, took her hand, and pulled her into his embrace. He spoke gently, "Sister Qingya, at my current level of power, it's nearly impossible for me to have children in most situations. That would be a punishment from above—a punishment for the strong. The years I've spent in Soul World have been hundreds of years of wandering through Spatial Planes during which I couldn't bear offspring. I'm naturally happy that you're carrying my child, but I want to know how this happened."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Elegant shifted slightly in his arms and shyly said, "That night..."
As Elegant recounted the events, Wei Chen suddenly understood completely. He had guessed correctly; that life had indeed begun on that night.
Elegant had resolved never to marry anyone else; the only person she wanted in her heart was Wei Chen.
However, she couldn't be with Wei Chen because of her sister Qingling. She knew deeply that Qingling's feelings for Wei Chen were just as strong and inexplicable as her own. In this silent battle, Elegant chose to withdraw early.
With the Army pressing in, the sisters finally opened their hearts to each other. Since they both liked Wei Chen, what would it matter if they both married him? Did they really need to care about societal opinions?
True feelings didn't require such concern.
Elegant's only worry was whether Wei Chen would be foolish enough not to like Qingling. If that situation arose, Elegant planned to force Wei Chen into marrying Qingling regardless. The Army's advance made Elegant and Sister Qingling indifferent to many things; they came to understand a lot.
As mere humans, one cannot predict what will happen next; thus, the best choice is to clearly understand what you want and what you hope to achieve. When you have such desires, strive to fulfill them and live a happier life.
At that moment, Elegant and Sister Qingling decided that if Soul World could be preserved and they could survive this crisis, they would seek out Wei Chen and lay everything bare. The sisters' determination was immense; they planned to disregard matters related to the merchant association for the sake of pursuing their love—what did wealth matter?
With twists and turns ahead, since the Upper Realm's powerful Army was under Wei Chen’s command, Elegant and Qingling had nothing left to worry about. They willingly wanted to follow Wei Chen wherever he went, no longer wanting to part ways or ignore their feelings any longer.
At the very beginning, Elegant did not think this way. She had too many concerns, so at the most opportune moment, she offered her body to Wei Chen, hoping to conceive his child.
Clearly, she succeeded.
The confirmation came from Wei Chen himself.
She shared all her thoughts with Wei Chen.
After expressing her feelings, Elegant lowered her head, a seductive aura spreading throughout the room.
Wei Chen was at a loss for how to feel. A woman like this, filled with deep affection for him, meant that he could never let her down in this lifetime! If he were to betray such a woman, could he still consider himself human?
Wei Chen held Elegant tightly and said gently, "Sister Qingya, don't worry. I will take responsibility for you. Come back to the Demon Realm with me, and we will get married. You can safely give birth to our child. This child may very well be the only one in my long and infinite life."
Hearing Wei Chen's words warmed Elegant's heart. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with charm, and whispered, "We can have more children; I'm not afraid of how many."
"Sister Qingya, it's not as simple as you think. To be honest, for the past few hundred years, I have had a Beauty Companion by my side. I have been intimate with her countless times, but nothing has happened. I know deeply that at my level of power, it is truly very difficult to conceive offspring."
With that, Wei Chen recounted everything about Yan Qiqi to Elegant, including his other women, without holding anything back. He understood that Elegant was a sensible woman who wouldn't irrationally feel jealous. She was gentle and generous, mature and intelligent—completely different from Yan Qiqi yet equally beautiful.
It was a harsh reality: because of the child in Elegant's womb, Wei Chen's affection for her was rapidly rising—almost escalating by the second.
It was very realistic and worldly, but that was the truth; Wei Chen could not suppress his feelings.
He had long prepared himself for an eternity without descendants. Who would have thought that Elegant would be so proactive? While he was unaware and asleep, she took the initiative and became pregnant...
In Wei Chen's view, that was a divine gift.
Elegant expressed her full understanding and respect for everything about Wei Chen. She even offered some suggestions for him to keep his other women in line so that there wouldn't be conflicts when they gathered together; that would not be fun at all. A well-ordered harem was essential.
Wei Chen initially thought Elegant wanted to be the dominant one among them, but in reality, she had no such intention. She explained to him that it wasn't just about being in a man's heart; it was the same in a woman's heart—strength commands respect. The one with greater power would naturally earn loyalty. The harem should be controlled by the strongest to avoid chaos.
With this in mind, it was clear that the person Elegant recommended to Wei Chen was none other than Yan Qiqi.
Wei Chen thought about it; indeed, with such a wise woman as Elegant, her words must be correct.
After they reached an agreement, Wei Chen led Elegant to the deck of the Warship.
Without needing to call out, Dark Mage immediately rushed over, his eyes filled with excitement and affection as he looked at Elegant.
“Elegant Lady, I’ve heard so much about you,” Elegant said, having learned about Dark Mage from Wei Chen. She quickly bowed respectfully.
Dark Mage joyfully exclaimed, “Good child, no need for formality! Hahaha! Our Dark Magic Family has descendants now!”
Dark Mage laughed heartily. Being a powerful figure, he could sense that there was another life within Elegant. The child of his grandchild was his great-grandchild; how could he not be pleased?
Originally, Dark Mage had planned to take another wife and concubines discreetly to ensure the continuation of the Dark Magic Family. However, given that Wei Chen had already taken a stand, he felt it might not be possible for him due to the constraints of his own situation. Thus, for the sake of the family’s legacy, Dark Mage had to take matters into his own hands.
Every time he thought about this, Dark Mage felt extremely frustrated. At his age, having to go through such “suffering” was truly a misfortune for the family!
In his eyes, seeking women to have children at such an age and engaging in those “disgraceful” acts was nothing short of torment.
But now, he never expected that his grandchild would be so capable. Before heading to the Demon Realm from Soul World, he had already planted a seed in Soul World. Look at it now; it had grown as big as a pea…
The more Dark Mage looked at Elegant, the more he found her pleasing. This granddaughter-in-law brought the greatest treasure to the Dark Magic Family, and Dark Mage felt immensely gratified!
