Chapter 220: After the Rogue

“Kok, kok…”

A sudden burst of wanton laughter filled the air. First came the seductive figure of the fox queen wrapping around him, then transforming into the mysterious silhouette of Shu Ling. Qiao San’s heart quivered, and as if aided by Shu Ling once again, he embarked on another sensual journey.

Crimson light erupted from his forehead, and the euphoric sensation of unrestrained indulgence radiated from the man, exuding a sinister charm.

“Son, repent while you still can—good deeds bring good rewards…”

“Master, I am your humble servant, yours to whip and ravage as you please…”

Inside his mind, chaos reigned. In reality, the man clutched his head and let out a roar before collapsing to the ground.

“Giggle, giggle…”

A wave of laughter suddenly emerged out of nowhere. First, the seductive figure of the Fox Queen entwined itself around him, then it transformed into the mysterious silhouette of the Book Spirit. With a shiver of his heart, Qiao San felt as if he was embarking on a sensual journey once again, aided by the Book Spirit.

A crimson light burst forth from between his eyebrows, filling the man with a sense of unrestrained pleasure that exuded an evil charm.

“Sheng’er, return from your lost path, for good deeds bring good rewards…”

“Master, I am your slave, subject to your whipping and torment…”

In the realm of his mind, a thousand thoughts tangled into a chaotic mess. In reality, the man clutched his head and let out a roar before collapsing to the ground.

As Qiao San battled his inner demons, the atmosphere in the Nine Nether Palace of the Northern Fear Continent grew increasingly tense. Muffled groans of suppressed pain could be faintly heard.

“My Queen, shall I use magic to ease the pain of your childbirth?” The midwife demoness knelt on the ground, offering a sensible suggestion.

“No need!”

On a low couch, Yu Shan lay with her legs spread wide, her delicate face alternating between pale and flushed. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, enduring the excruciating pain, gritted her teeth and said, “I want this pain. The more it hurts, the more I will hate. All of this is because of that audacious third one! Ah… that despicable man, how dare he abandon me…

Ah… Audacious Third, I will never forgive you!”

True to her demonic nature, she managed to blame Qiao San for everything!

A beaded curtain and a screen separated the Queen’s birthing chamber. Even in such a moment, Yu Shan did not cease her political affairs, her determination and ambition making men of the three realms, especially a certain rogue, feel ashamed.

A demon general, drenched in cold sweat, knelt in the outer chamber, not daring to raise his eyes, and reported respectfully, “Your Majesty, the Turtle King has arrived at Purple Mansion Mountain. As expected, the Primordial Heavenly King and the Supreme Jade Lady are not there. Their whereabouts remain unknown for now.”

“Good! Send a message to the Turtle King across the miles. When the time comes, act immediately!”

Yu Shan’s face twisted in pain, and she muttered with hatred, “Hmph, the Heavenly Realm must not possess the Ten Suns bloodline. Audacious Third, I will exterminate all your bastards!”

After a day and night of agonizing screams, the temporary birthing chamber finally erupted with an unprecedented shrill cry.

“Ah—”

The tearing pain suddenly exploded, and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons felt a part of her soul separate from her body. Immediately after, a loud cry filled every corner of the Nine Nether Palace.

“My child!”

Yu Shan’s heart trembled, and a strange warmth surged within her. Her pale lips quivered uncontrollably as she said, “Quick, bring the child to me.”

Just as the maid holding the infant was about to step forward, the roof suddenly exploded with a loud crash, creating a gaping hole. A fierce wind swept in, and within the gale, a ribbon-like object wrapped around the baby’s body.

“Ah!” The maids were blown in all directions. Yu Shan, filled with terror and rage, immediately brandished her White Jade Fan, but weakened from childbirth, she failed to retrieve her child.

“Boom!”

Another dull thud, and the walls of the room collapsed under the impact. The gale surged upward and vanished into the sky, taking both the enemy and Yu Shan’s child with it.

In the void, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons let out a roar—a roar from the depths of her soul. Her hair fluttered without wind, each strand writhing like a snake. With a look of exhaustion, she shouted towards the sky, “Primordial Heavenly King, return my child—”

“Yu Shan, I do not wish to take advantage of your weakness. With your current strength, it is best you return. Rest assured, the Heavenly Realm will not harm the child but will raise it properly.” The gale slowed, revealing the calm figure of the Primordial Heavenly King. Though his actions were not entirely honorable, he believed it necessary for the peace of the three realms to capture the future demon star.

For the first time in her life, Yu Shan forgot to assess the balance of power between her and her enemy. She raised her White Jade Fan without hesitation.

Just as the Supreme Jade Lady was about to join her husband in facing the enemy, the swaddled baby in her arms suddenly emitted a red light. A red figure burst out of her embrace, leaving behind a trail of clear laughter as it shot into the sky.

The female immortal was startled, and the Primordial Heavenly King shouted, “It truly is the demon star! Supreme Jade, pursue it!”

As the divine couple gave chase, Yu Shan naturally stood in their way. Though the icy wind from her White Jade Fan failed to harm her opponents, the extraordinary little one had already vanished without a trace. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, now regaining her cunning nature, used her fan to whisk herself far away from the Primordial couple.

“Primordial Heavenly King, I will make you pay for today’s grievance with your life! Hehe…”

Her laughter faded, but the chilling wind remained. Yu Shan’s hatred was bone-deep, and it was filled with an inexplicable, powerful confidence!

At the same time, in the Purple Mansion Immortal Mountain of the Earthly Sea.

“Waa, waa…”

The cries of a baby suddenly filled the area within a hundred miles of the immortal mountain. After nearly two years of difficult pregnancy, the child in Bei Gongzhen’s belly finally arrived, crying as it entered the world.

The baby’s cries suddenly changed, and a storm enveloped Purple Mansion Mountain. Amidst thunder and lightning, several demonic figures flew away with triumphant laughter.

“Return my child…”

With disheveled hair, Bei Gongzhen crawled out of the room, blood trickling from her lips. Clearly severely injured, she could only watch in agony as the demons took her child away.

In her moment of utter despair, a ray of hope pierced through the dark clouds. A bird’s cry echoed, and a green phoenix descended from the sky.

“Since you have come from afar, why not stay a while at Purple Mansion?”

Standing barefoot on the green phoenix, the figure in black robes spoke with a calmness that unsettled the demons, their innate malevolence giving way to an unprecedented sense of guilt.

The space around the tall, elegant figure seemed to ripple. The hair on the shoulders of the Su Nu’s disciple swayed in an arcane pattern. With just one step forward, the killing intent of the dozen or so demons vanished, and they lowered their hands, ready to surrender.

“Ha, ha… Little girl, don’t show off in front of this old turtle. Take this!” The strange laughter was filled with greed, and even the Su Nu’s technique could not cleanse the Turtle King’s avarice. His chest opened, and the fire of ten thousand years of greed burst forth, snapping the demons out of their trance.

“Your Majesty, shall I use magic to ease your labor pains?” The midwife demoness knelt respectfully and offered the suggestion.

“No!”

On a low couch, Yu Shan had her legs wide open, her jade-like face alternating between pale and flushed as she gritted her teeth through the unbearable pain. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hissed, “I want this pain—it sharpens my hatred! All of this is your fault, Da Dan San! Ah… damn man, how dare you abandon me…

Ah… Da Dan San, I won’t forgive you!”

True to her demonic nature, she managed to blame Qiao San for everything!

A pearl curtain and a screen partitioned off the birthing chamber. Even in this moment, Yu Shan had not ceased her political duties. Her iron will and immense ambition were enough to make even the boldest men across the Three Realms, especially one certain rogue, blush with shame.

A demon general, drenched in cold sweat, knelt outside, eyes lowered respectfully as he reported, “Reporting, Your Majesty, the Tortoise King has arrived at Zifu Mountain. Yuanshi Tianwang and Taiyuan Yvnü indeed are absent; their whereabouts remain unknown.”

“Hmph! Send a long-distance command to the Tortoise King—act the moment the time comes!”

Yu Shan’s face contorted in agony as she muttered bitterly, “Absolutely cannot allow Heaven to obtain the Ten Sun Bloodline. Da Dan San, I will exterminate all of your bastards!”

After a day and night of unbearable pain and screams, finally, an unprecedented shriek erupted from the makeshift birthing room.

“Ah—”

“Giggle, giggle…”

A wave of laughter suddenly emerged out of nowhere, first the seductive figure of the Fox Queen entwined itself, then it transformed into the mysterious silhouette of the Book Spirit; with a tremble in his heart, Qiao San felt as if he was embarking on a sensual journey once again with the help of the Book Spirit.

A crimson light burst forth from between his eyebrows, the unrestrained pleasure filling the man with a wicked charm.

“Sheng’er, return from your lost path, good deeds bring good rewards…”

“Master, I am your slave girl, at your mercy to whip and ravage…”

……………

In the realm of his mind, a thousand thoughts tangled into a knot; in reality, the man clutched his head, let out a roar, and collapsed to the ground.

While Qiao San was battling his inner demons, in the Nine Nether Palace of the Northern Fearful Reed Continent, the tense atmosphere was unbearably heavy, faint groans of suppressed pain could be heard.

“Queen, should this servant use magic to alleviate the pain of your childbirth?” The midwife demon knelt on the ground, offering a sensible suggestion.

“No need!”

On a low couch, Yu Shan’s legs were spread wide and raised high, her willow-like face alternating between pale and flushed, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons gritted her teeth through the intense pain: “I want this pain, the more it hurts, the more I will hate, all of this is brought upon me by Bold Three! Ah… that scoundrel, how dare he abandon me…

Ah… Bold Three, I will not spare you!”

Truly embodying the nature of a demoness, she could still blame Qiao San for her plight!

A beaded curtain and a screen separated the Queen’s birthing chamber, even at such a moment, Yu Shan did not cease her political affairs, her willpower and ambition were so formidable that they put the men of the three realms, especially a certain rogue, to shame.

A demon general, drenched in cold sweat, knelt in the outer chamber, not daring to lift his gaze, respectfully reported: “Your Majesty, the Turtle King has arrived at the Purple Mansion Mountain, as expected, the Primordial Heavenly King and the Supreme Jade Lady are not there, their whereabouts are still unknown!”

“Hmm! Send a message to the Turtle King across ten thousand miles, when the time comes, act immediately!”

Yu Shan’s beautiful face twisted in pain, she muttered hatefully: “Hmph, we must not let the Heavenly Realm possess the Ten Suns bloodline; Bold Three, I will exterminate all your bastards!”

After a day and night of agonizing screams, finally, an unprecedented sharp cry erupted from the temporary birthing chamber.

“Ah—”

The tearing pain suddenly exploded, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons felt a part of her soul suddenly separate, followed by a loud cry that filled every corner of the Nine Nether Palace.

“Hmm, the child!”

Yu Shan’s heart trembled, a strange warmth surged within her, her pale lips uncontrollably quivered: “Quick, bring the child for me to see.”

The maid holding the infant was about to step forward when the roof suddenly exploded with a loud bang, a hole appeared, and a gust of wind swept in, within the wind, a ribbon like a shooting star wrapped around the baby’s body.

“Ah!” The maids were blown in all directions, Yu Shan was both shocked and terrified, although she timely waved her White Jade Fan, she was weakened from childbirth and could not retrieve her child.

“Bang!”

Another muffled sound, the walls of the room collapsed under the impact; the wind surged upwards, breaking through the sky, both the enemy and Yu Shan’s figure disappeared.

In the void, the roar of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons echoed—a roar from the soul, Yu Shan’s hair fluttered without wind, thousands of strands danced like snakes, her weakened self roared towards the front: “Primordial Heavenly King, return my child—”

“Yu Shan, I do not wish to take advantage of your situation, with your current power, it’s best to return; rest assured, the Heavenly Realm will not harm life, we will only take good care of your child.” The wind slowed, revealing the leisurely figure of the Primordial Heavenly King, although his actions were not honorable, for the peace of the three realms, he had to capture the future Demon Star.

For the first time in her life, Yu Shan forgot to assess the balance of power, she raised her White Jade Fan without hesitation.

The Supreme Jade Lady was about to step forward to join her husband in facing the enemy, when the swaddling clothes in her arms suddenly radiated red light, a red figure broke free from her embrace, leaving behind a trail of clear laughter, swiftly breaking through the sky.

The female immortal was startled, the Primordial Heavenly King sternly said: “Indeed a Demon Star, Supreme, chase after it!”

As the divine couple gave chase, Yu Shan naturally blocked them, although the cold wind from the White Jade Fan did not harm the opponents, the extraordinary little one had already escaped without a trace, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons regained her cunning nature, with a wave of her fan, she was already far away from the Primordial couple.

“Primordial Heavenly King, today’s grudge, I will make you pay with your life! Giggle…”

The laughter faded, the sinister wind remained, Yu Shan’s hatred was bone-chilling, and it was filled with an inexplicable strong confidence!

At the same time as Yu Shan was giving birth, in the Purple Mansion Immortal Mountain of the Earth Sea.

“Wah, wah…”

The cries of a child suddenly filled the hundred-mile radius of the Immortal Mountain, after nearly two years of difficult pregnancy, the child in Bei Gongzhen’s belly finally arrived, crying as it entered the world.

The child’s cries suddenly changed, a storm abruptly enveloped the Purple Mansion Mountain, amidst thunder and lightning, several demonic figures broke through the sky with triumphant laughter.

“Return my child…”

With disheveled hair, Bei Gongzhen crawled out of the room, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, she was clearly severely injured, only able to watch in agony as her child was snatched away by demons.

At the moment of utter despair, a ray of hope suddenly pierced through the dark clouds, a bird’s cry, and the Green Luan broke through the sky.

“Since you have come from afar, why not stay for a while at the Purple Mansion?”

Standing proudly on the Green Luan, “Jing Jing” spoke calmly, yet her words caused the demons to lose their composure, their innate demonic nature plunged into unprecedented self-reproach.

The space around the tall silhouette of “Jing Jing” moved, the hair on the shoulders of the Su Nu descendant fluttered in a mysterious trajectory, with just one step forward, the killing intent of more than ten demon spirits had completely dissipated, their hands lowered, ready to surrender.

“Giggle, giggle… little girl, don’t show off in front of this old turtle, behold my treasure!” The strange laughter was always filled with greed, the Su Nu’s technique could not cleanse the Turtle King’s avarice, his chest opened, the greed of ten thousand years burst forth with greedy flames, the demon spirits finally awoke.

“Hmm, the child!”

Yu Shan’s heart trembled, and an unfamiliar warmth surged within her. Her pale lips trembled uncontrollably as she ordered, “Quickly, bring him to me!”

As the palace maid holding the infant stepped forward, suddenly the roof exploded with a thunderous boom, a gaping hole torn open. A fierce wind swirled in, and within it, a silk ribbon shot like a meteor, wrapping tightly around the baby.

“Ahh!” The palace maids were blown in all directions. Yu Shan, startled and terrified, waved her Jade Fan instinctively, but weakened from childbirth, she failed to snatch back her child.

“Peng!”

Another dull explosion shook the room. The walls collapsed under the shockwave. The wind surged skyward, vanishing into the void, carrying both the enemy and the child away.

From the empty sky came the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons’ furious roar—a roar from her very soul. Yu Shan’s beautiful hair flew as if alive, her strands writhing like snakes. Despite her weakened state, she screamed, “Yuanshi Tianwang, return my child—”

“Yu Shan, this one does not wish to take advantage in your time of weakness. But in your current state, you should retreat. Rest assured, Heaven will not harm the child—only raise him properly.” The wind slowed, revealing Yuanshi Tianwang’s composed figure. Though his actions weren’t noble, for the peace of the Three Realms, he had to take away the future Demon Star.

For the first time in her life, Yu Shan forgot to weigh the strength of the opponent and, without thinking, raised her Jade Fan.

As Taiyuan Yvnü stepped forward to stand beside her husband, suddenly the swaddled infant in her arms radiated red light. A crimson figure burst free, leaving behind a series of clear, joyful laughter as it vanished into the sky.

The immortal woman’s expression changed instantly. Yuanshi Tianwang’s voice turned sharp, “Indeed the Demon Star! Taiyuan, chase him!”

As the divine couple took off in pursuit, Yu Shan blocked their path. Though the icy wind from her Jade Fan could not harm them, it gave the unusual infant a chance to escape into oblivion. Yu Shan, returning to her cunning self, swept the fan, vanishing with it far from the immortal couple.

“Yuanshi Tianwang, today’s grudge shall be repaid with your life! Hehehe…”

Her laughter faded into the distance, yet the eerie wind lingered. Yu Shan’s hatred was bone-deep and chilling, filled with inexplicable confidence.

Beneath the Earth Sea, at Zifu Immortal Mountain, at the very moment Yu Shan gave birth…

“Waa, waa…”

Suddenly, cries filled the area around the immortal mountain for hundreds of miles. After enduring a pregnancy of nearly two years, Beigong Zhen finally gave birth.

The infant’s cries abruptly changed. A storm with thunder and lightning engulfed Zifu Mountain. Amidst the chaos, several demonic shadows, laughing triumphantly, snatched the child and vanished into the sky.

“Return my child…”

With disheveled hair and blood trickling from her lips, Beigong Zhen crawled out of the house, gravely wounded, only able to watch helplessly as her child was taken away.

In her moment of utmost despair, a ray of hope pierced through the dark clouds. A bird’s cry rang out, and Qing Luan soared through the sky.

“Since all you cultivators have come all this way, why not stop by Zifu for a moment?”

Standing proudly atop Qing Luan, barefoot in black robes, the tall and graceful figure known as Jingjing spoke softly. Her calm words, though quiet and unassuming, unsettled the demons, stirring an unfamiliar sense of guilt within their very nature.

As space rippled around her, the long hair behind Jingjing’s back floated in strange, mystical arcs. With just a single step forward, the killing intent of over a dozen demons vanished entirely. They lowered their hands, ready to surrender.

“Gaga… Little girl, don’t show off before Old Turtle. Behold my treasure!” The grotesque laughter brimmed with greed. The Su Nu technique could not cleanse the Tortoise King’s avarice. His chest split open, unleashing an ancient greed-fire. The demons, startled, regained their senses once more.
