The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 846 - 352: Stupid Sun
Qing Nu’s expectations were doomed to be disappointed. Although Dongfang Hongyue and Jiang Chenyu had begun to make moves, they used only the most basic techniques and did not get serious.
Both of them responded to each other’s moves, with Jiang Chenyu primarily on the defensive, leaving Dongfang Hongyue unable to do anything about it.
After several rounds of exchanges, Dongfang Hongyue took the initiative to stop.
"Did you refuse to let me take your pulse because you are pregnant?"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Hongyue’s expression became extremely serious.
She had wanted to have a child with Lin Yun before, but unfortunately, the vital essence was quickly absorbed by her body. It was then that Dongfang Hongyue realized that if she couldn’t fully control the Moon God’s Divine Position, she couldn’t have children.
It was thanks to Lin Yun that she was able to completely master the divine position so quickly.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t become pregnant, but someone else had beaten her to it.
Jiang Chenyu sighed silently, surprised that after all her efforts to conceal it, Dongfang Hongyue still noticed.
Since she had guessed it, there was no point in pretending anymore. It was better to be straightforward.
"Yes, I am pregnant, and the child is Lin Yun’s."
Dongfang Hongyue: "..."
What does it feel like when a concubine has a child before you?
Dongfang Hongyue was experiencing that now.
This intense sense of crisis made her wish she could go find Lin Yun and have a child right now.
"You... have given up continuing your cultivation?"
Dongfang Hongyue looked at Jiang Chenyu somewhat perplexedly.
She was still young and had many choices, while Jiang Chenyu was already five hundred years old.
Among human cultivators, that was considered quite old; an Enlightened Realm Cultivator’s lifespan was only eight hundred years. In another three hundred years, Jiang Chenyu would be old and die.
Moreover, if she had a child, her lifespan would be shortened even further, and dying at six or seven hundred years old was quite possible.
The threshold for the Defiant Heavenly Realm has now loosened a lot, and these senior cultivators had sensed it. The chances of breaking through to the Defiant Heavenly Realm had greatly increased. Jiang Chenyu could have broken through to the Defiant Heavenly Realm before having children—why did she have to rush to get pregnant at this critical time?
Faced with Dongfang Hongyue’s confusion, Jiang Chenyu just smiled and said, "My talents are not that high, and I don’t have much of a background. At most, I could cultivate to the Defiant Heavenly Realm. There’s not much meaning in that. It’s better to have a child and carry forward the hopes for the future."
Dongfang Hongyue knew that what Jiang Chenyu said was also true. Among Lin Yun’s wives, whether they had a powerful background or extraordinary talents, Jiang Chenyu really was the least remarkable, although she was still quite excellent.
However, Jiang Chenyu did not quite answer the question. She didn’t explain why she was so rushed.
Even if she knew her talents weren’t the best, it was still possible to have children after reaching the Defiant Heavenly Realm.
Like Dongfang Hongyue, she also felt that since breaking her limits was impossible, waiting until stabilizing the divine position before having children was also an option.
There must be some reason that Jiang Chenyu had to have a child ahead of schedule.
"Speaking of which... I don’t know where Lin Yun has gone. Do you have any news of him?"
Dongfang Hongyue suddenly changed the subject to Lin Yun. Jiang Chenyu’s face slightly changed, but fortunately, her face was veiled, and Dongfang Hongyue could not see it.
It was strange why Lin Yun had not informed Dongfang Hongyue alone.
Everyone knew that Lin Yun had offended a major deity and was going to be captured and imprisoned by that deity.
According to Lin Yu, this was precisely the prophecy of the Heavenly Book, ultimately, they could not break the arrangements of fate.
Lin Yun, nearly perished by divine wrath.
Fortunately, ’peril’ here merely meant danger and not death, which gave Lin Yu and others still hope. Nowadays, they were all practicing like mad, and they were hardly seen.
Knowing this news, Jiang Chenyu realized that she probably wouldn’t become a god herself.
If she tried hard, striving to cultivate the Taiyin True Scripture to its ninth revolution, perhaps there was a chance. But compared to that elusive opportunity, Jiang Chenyu thought it might be better to pin her hopes on Lin Yu, Flower Fairy, Snow Maiden, and others.
They are the inheritors of the Four Spirits, holding hopeful prospects of rescuing Lin Yun.
On her own, one more or one less of her made no significant difference.
Given that, she might as well act as the safety net for everyone’s efforts.
At the very least, if everyone else fails, she could still bear Lin Yun’s offspring, thus continuing all that was his.
Back to the main point, it indeed surprised Jiang Chenyu that Dongfang Hongyue was unaware of the truth, but she quickly realized that since Lin Yun had kept it from Dongfang Hongyue, she should play along.
"I also have no news of Lin Yun. He simply mentioned that he needed to go far away for something very important and soon after, I lost contact with him; I don’t know what he’s up to."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hongyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Chenyu for a while, very assertively saying: "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? Has something happened to Lin Yun?"
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
Was her ability to lie really that terrible? Dongfang Hongyue saw through it instantly.
At this point, continuing to lie seemed pointless; Jiang Chenyu chose silence.
After all, she was pregnant, and Dongfang Hongyue surely couldn’t force a confession from her, a pregnant woman.
"Tell me. Even if you don’t, I’ll eventually find someone who knows. Lin Yu, Snow Maiden, Flower Fairy, Bai Jiaojiao—one of them will certainly tell me."
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
To be honest, indeed.
The more wives Lin Yun had, the harder it was to keep a secret.
Rather than wasting Dongfang Hongyue’s time and letting her struggle, it was better to just be straightforward, to prevent her from doing something drastic.
Jiang Chenyu sighed deeply, saying, "Fine, I don’t know why Lin Yun hasn’t told you, but he’s made an enemy of a great God and has been taken to an unknown place; no idea when he’ll be able to return."
"So, was he really saying goodbye a month ago?"
Reflecting on Lin Yun’s behavior back then, Dongfang Hongyue realized that everything had clues.
Lin Yun had said that if he only had three more days, he would definitely say his goodbyes last.
"Do you feel that waiting is hopeless, so you simply gave up?"
Jiang Chenyu nodded her head; she didn’t want to give up either, but sometimes giving up was a wise choice.
At least, she could seize another opportunity and embark on a different path.
"I understand."
Dongfang Hongyue swiftly left Guanghan Palace, leaving Jiang Chenyu with an uneasy feeling, but without any other options.
All she could do was pray that Dongfang Hongyue wouldn’t be too rash.
In Demon Land, the routine divinations by Zhen Li finally showed some different outcomes. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"The course of fate has returned to its rightful track."
"The ancient calamities are about to revisit the Mortal Realm."
"The foolish sun is outsmarting itself."
Even at the level of Divine Spirit, positioned below Qing Nu but above all other gods, Zhen Li was somewhat puzzled by these divinations.
She could only interpret two of them.
Perhaps fate had been tampered with, but it was back on track now; the ancient calamities might be the disaster suppressed beneath Cloud Dream Marsh, and with the seal loosening, someone should be notified to keep guard.
As for the foolish sun...
How could the sun be foolish?
