"Who told you this would resolve the issue?"
Chen Nan's expression was one of impatience.
However, as his daughter was sleeping in the Empress's arms, he dared not speak too loudly.
"The swelling you feel indicates ample milk production."
"The reason your daughter isn't getting enough is fundamentally due to blocked milk ducts."
"This is not as simple as you might think."
The Empress couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do?"
Though she was the supreme Empress,
She truly didn't know how to handle such a situation.
Chen Nan: "Put down your daughter. I'll help you clear the blockage."
"Oh, alright."
The Empress stood up and handed her daughter to her personal maid, who then took the child to the inner chamber.
"Come on."
This time, the Empress showed no affectation.
She stood frankly before Chen Nan's eyes and then slowly lay down on the bed.
Seeing this,
Chen Nan felt no acceleration of his heartbeat.
Instead, it brought back memories of that unbearable past.
Irritation spread through his heart.
But thinking of his daughter,
He had no choice but to endure.
He then took off his shoes, sat beside the Empress,
And began the massage.
Even with the most beautiful woman in the human race by his side,
He harbored no ill intentions.
The Empress lay quietly on the bed, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation: "Can we... start over?"
Chen Nan let out a cold snort, "Don't push your luck."
"If it weren't for our daughter, do you think I would be here?"
"Do you think I would even bother with you?"
A flicker of loneliness crossed the Empress's eyes, "Actually... I didn't intend to humiliate you."
"It was all my fault for being so self-important, thinking you liked doing that kind of thing with me too."
"Shut up," Chen Nan roared. "Can you not bring that up or you'll die?"
The Empress smiled bitterly.
She hadn't expected this man to be so indifferent.
But she wasn't afraid.
Because she had their daughter.
She knew Chen Nan saved her because he wanted to provide their daughter with a healthy upbringing.
"You told me before not to die."
"You also said you would repay the humiliation I inflicted on you a hundredfold, a thousandfold."
"You can take your revenge now."
The Empress slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
Her trembling eyelashes betrayed her emotions.
Although she had taken Chen Nan many times before,
She had always been the one initiating.
This time,
She wanted to be the one receiving.
"You think I'll fall for you?"
"You are truly too full of yourself."
"You might not know me well."
"I, Chen Nan, have no shortage of women."
"I would rather die than lay a finger on you."
Chen Nan laughed in anger.
He had considered returning the favor in kind.
But he ultimately abandoned the idea.
Because this was exactly what the Empress wanted.
Why should he fulfill her desires?
Therefore,
Not touching her was the greatest punishment.
The Empress opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with pain and shame.
She had already apologized to this man.
And not just once.
Yet, she had never imagined this man would be so stone-hearted.
This made her feel a profound sense of defeat.
Time slowly passed.
The Empress felt the swelling in her body gradually subside.
At this moment,
A faint smile appeared on her face.
At least her daughter could eat her fill now.
She spoke, her voice gentle, "The divine talisman you gave me is exceptionally powerful."
"With my current strength, I am confident I can fight against the Human Emperor."
"Furthermore, I have mastered the Great Dao of Life."
"Yes, it is a true Dao."
"Once I gain complete control, I can become a Saint."
As she said this,
A hint of longing appeared in her eyes.
Becoming a Saint was incredibly difficult.
Of course,
Let alone becoming a Saint,
Even becoming a God was an almost impossible feat for a ninth-level Immortal Emperor.
Not to mention the myriad tribulations one had to face after becoming a God.
Since ancient times,
There had only been a few dozen Saints in the Three Realms.
This illustrated the immense difficulty of becoming a Saint.
And now,
She had a chance to become one.
"If that's all you wanted to say, then there was no need." Chen Nan withdrew his hands and prepared to leave.
The Empress waved her right hand.
The extreme Yin法则 (FaZe - Law/Principle) transformed into a chain, directly binding Chen Nan.
Chen Nan jolted and cursed, "Damn it, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
He was all too familiar with the scene before him.
Previously, in the Land of Creation, the Empress had used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie him up and do many things he didn't want to do.
This scene gave him an ominous feeling.
The Empress revealed a playful smile, "I've already borne you a child, what do you think I want to do?"
"It's nothing more than deepening our bond!"
Chen Nan was enraged.
He wanted to break free from the restraints.
But,
He discovered.
His strength seemed... inferior to the Empress's.
Chen Nan, furious, called her by her name, "Si Ning, if you dare to touch me, I..."
Before he could finish,
His voice abruptly cut off.
[The heart says one thing, the mouth says another.]
This was something he hadn't anticipated.
He thought the Empress would treat him the same way as before.
But he hadn't expected her to resort to this method.
Looking at the once aloof Empress of the Human Race before him,
He felt a peculiar sensation.
A sense of inexplicable accomplishment.
But more than that, it was bitterness.
Because he actually had the urge to forgive her.
After all,
The Empress's actions were tantamount to trampling her high and mighty dignity on the ground.
"I asked the palace maids."
"I know you were not satisfied last time."
"Don't worry, I will serve you well today."
Although she could also use force,
After all,
They now had a lovely daughter between them.
She didn't want their relationship to become too strained.
This would not be conducive to their daughter's growth.
Of course,
She genuinely wanted to repent to Chen Nan.
------
Hearts are made of flesh and blood.
Chen Nan's hatred for the Empress vanished at this moment.
Yes.
For their daughter.
However,
What could he do?
A long time later,
The creaking of the phoenix bed finally subsided.
The Empress, like a young woman, leaned charmingly into Chen Nan's embrace.
She whispered softly, "Thank you for being willing to forgive me."
"From now on, I will learn to be a wife."
"And a mother."
"Also, I plan to announce to the world after repelling the demon race that you will inherit the throne of the Snow Kingdom."
Chen Nan: "No, no, no, I have no interest in the throne."
The Empress hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you don't want to be the Emperor, then I will announce to the world and enfeoff you as the Empress!"
Hearing this, Chen Nan immediately became angry, "Do you want the world to know I'm a kept man?"
The Empress chuckled softly, "Weren't you just living off me?"
