The Yan Emperor spoke with increasing shock.
His pupils bulged.
A shiver ran down his spine.
"Vulgar, utterly vulgar!" Chen Nan was furious. "What a sacred matter, to describe it with such a crude word is the greatest blasphemy."
The Yan Emperor instinctively swallowed, "So, my previous guess was true?"
"Did the Empress truly... take you as her White Dragon Horse?"
Chen Nan was enraged, "Get lost, who is the Empress? What right does she have to ride me?"
"I am the attacker, she is the defender."
"Don't confuse the primary and secondary roles."
As expected.
The Empress was his inner demon.
Whenever she was mentioned, Chen Nan would erupt in anger.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have indirectly admitted to the Yan Emperor's guess just now.
"A man as outstanding as myself, even the Empress would be mesmerized by me until she's head over heels."
The Yan Emperor stared at him blankly.
This guy was angry?
Good heavens.
His guess was indeed accurate.
This was a classic case of anger born of shame.
With a wry smile, the Yan Emperor said, "Brother, whatever happened between you and the Empress before, let's just put it behind us."
"But."
"Brother wants to ask you one thing, did you encounter the Yin-Yang Fish in the Land of Creation?"
"Did you thus control the supreme Yang law?"
The Yan Emperor had never been to the Land of Creation.
Because that opportunity was too precious.
But Yan Country had ancestors who had been there, so he knew some secrets about the Land of Creation.
Chen Nan frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
The Yan Emperor said, "The Empress cultivates the supreme Yin law. If you two consumed the Yin-Yang Fish and combined..."
"I can almost guess the reason for the Empress's poor health."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Empress should be pregnant."
"Pregnant with your child."
"Holy crap, don't spout nonsense, you can't joke about this sort of thing." Chen Nan's face turned pale, his scalp tingling.
The Yan Emperor said earnestly, "During the previous competition, Ling Yanran, the High Priestess of Xue Country, said that Xue Country was the biggest winner."
"At first, I dismissed her words."
"But now, I seem to understand what she meant."
"If the Empress is truly carrying your child."
"Wouldn't Xue Country be the biggest winner?"
"No, no, no, it definitely won't be like this." Chen Nan instinctively swallowed, "If you count it, I only had relations with the Empress once, how could I be so coincidentally pregnant?"
Hearing this.
The Yan Emperor paused.
Then he smiled and shook his head, "Among the billions of people in this world, aren't they all born due to coincidence?"
"Besides, Ling Yanran once said the Empress was unwell."
"Brother, that is a ninth-level Immortal Emperor."
"The Empress's strength is above mine, what illness do you think she would have?"
Qing Long's voice sounded, "Although you only coupled once."
"But there is a high probability that the Empress would have gotten pregnant that one time."
Chen Nan instinctively swallowed.
He thought of what Ling Yanran had said.
That one day he would rush to Xue Country regardless of the consequences.
At first, he had dismissed it.
But now.
A strange fear arose in his heart.
He liked children.
On Earth, he had lived a life of pleasure, never using any protection.
All for the sake of having his own child.
However.
Having children after becoming a cultivator was very difficult.
But he never expected that after just one time with the Empress.
She would be carrying his flesh and blood???
His heart was complicated.
He didn't like the Empress.
But if she was truly pregnant.
Then the fetus in her womb carried his bloodline!!!
And.
No matter how he felt about the Empress.
The child was innocent.
Thinking further, Chen Nan said, "That's not right!"
"It's been almost three years since the Empress and I went to the Land of Creation."
"Even if the Empress is really carrying my child."
"That child should have been born by now."
"And she's still unwell?"
"Do you think she's carrying Nezha?"
The Yan Emperor was a bit embarrassed, "What you said makes some sense..."
Ten months of pregnancy was an unbreakable iron law.
Even if there was one person in history.
That person had become a god.
And held a position of great importance in the divine realm.
Nezha!
So.
When Chen Nan mentioned it had been nearly three years.
The Yan Emperor overturned his previous guess.
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
If the Empress were truly pregnant with his child.
Then there would be an unbreakable bond between them.
Honestly.
He didn't want any emotional entanglements with the Empress.
He just wanted to trample her under his feet.
And repay the past humiliation to her manifold.
The Yan Emperor said earnestly, "I've said what I needed to say. Before we part, I have a piece of advice for you. When you go to Qian Country, don't say you are Chen Nan."
Chen Nan was puzzled.
The Yan Emperor explained, "Dan Chenzi is the only Alchemy Grandmaster in the Immortal Realm."
"This person values fame and fortune immensely."
"After you became an Alchemy Grandmaster, your reputation already surpassed his."
"I worry that he will cause trouble for you if he knows your identity."
Chen Nan asked a simple, crude question, "Can he beat me?"
"..."
The Yan Emperor was speechless.
Although Dan Chenzi was the only Alchemy Grandmaster in the Immortal Realm.
His strength was only at the fourth-level Immortal Emperor.
To put it bluntly.
If Chen Nan fought him, he could be instantly killed with one punch.
"It's not just because of Dan Chenzi," the Yan Emperor said, "but also Qian Emperor. That old fellow is a suitor of the Empress and is deeply infatuated with her."
"You helped our Yan Country crush the Xue Country delegation."
"If he finds out you went to Qian Country..."
"Based on my understanding of him."
"He will break your legs and send you to the Empress."
"Just to get a word of approval from the Empress."
"Yes, Qian Emperor is the number one simp in the Immortal Realm."
Chen Nan was dumbfounded.
Qian Emperor's sons were all trying to contend for the position of crown prince.
Who would have thought that Qian Emperor was also the number one simp in the Immortal Realm?
"I will keep these words in mind. Thank you, big brother, for your care during this time." Chen Nan cupped his fists, "Little brother will take his leave now. I hope we meet again in the martial world."
The Yan Emperor: "Take care!"
Chen Nan flew west using the Great Roc technique without looking back.
He didn't go back to the Sword Forging Academy to bid farewell to those he knew.
He disliked that kind of sad atmosphere.
Rather than that, it was better to come quietly and leave quietly.
Yes.
To him, if there was no farewell, it wasn't a separation.
------
One month later.
Chen Nan and Nie Yao arrived in Qian Country.
They traveled during the day.
At night, they stayed in immortal mansions to cultivate and do as they pleased.
Life was simple and happy.
Of course.
Nie Yao's strength also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Supreme Immortal realm.
Chen Nan did not contact Qian Sheng directly, as the divine sword would still take ten days to be repaired.
He planned to buy some medicinal herbs first.
To further enhance Nie Yao's strength.
However.
When he arrived at the entrance of a large pharmacy.
The scene before him greatly enraged him.
An invisible anger surged into his heart, making it difficult to control...
