“Kok, kok…”
A burst of wanton laughter suddenly pierced the air. First came the alluring figure of the fox queen, entwining around him, then transforming midway into the mysterious silhouette of Shuling. Qiao San’s heart quivered; once again, with Shuling’s help, he embarked on a sensually thrilling journey.
Crimson light erupted from between his eyebrows. The bliss of unrestrained indulgence radiated an evil charm from his masculine form.
“Son, repent while there’s still time. Good deeds bring good fortune…”
“Master, I am your slave, ready to be whipped and ravished at your will…”
Inside his mind, chaos twisted into a tangled knot. In reality, the man clutched his head and let out a loud roar before collapsing to the ground.
As Qiao San battled his inner demon, within the Nine幽 Palace of the Northern Continent, the air was thick with tension. Faintly, one could hear muffled groans of excruciating pain.
“Your Majesty, shall I use magic to ease your childbirth pain?” The female demon in charge of delivery knelt on the floor, offering a reasonable suggestion.
“No!”
On a low couch, Jade Fan had her legs widely spread, her jade-like face alternating between pallor and flush as she gritted her teeth through the unbearable pain. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hissed, “I want this pain! The more intense, the more hatred I feel! All of this is your fault, bold San! Ya… damn man, daring to abandon me…
Ya… Qiao San, I will never forgive you!”
True to her demonic nature, she somehow managed to blame Qiao San for everything!
A pearl curtain and a screen partitioned off the Queen’s birthing chamber. Even in this moment, Jade Fan did not cease attending to her dominion affairs. Her iron will and vast ambition would shame any man in the Three Realms, especially one particular rascal.
A sweating demon general knelt outside, not daring to lift his gaze as he respectfully reported, “Reporting, Your Majesty, the Turtle King has arrived at Purple Mansion Mountain. Yuanshi Tianwang and Taiyuan Yvnü are indeed absent, and their whereabouts remain unknown!”
“Hmm! Send an order across thousands of miles to the Turtle King. The moment the time comes, take immediate action!”
Jade Fan’s beautiful face twisted in agony, finally muttering with hatred, “Hmph, I must never allow the Heavens to obtain the Ten Sun Bloodline. Bold San, I will destroy all your bastards!”
After a day and night of excruciating screams, finally, an unprecedented sharp cry erupted from the temporary birthing room.
“Ya—”
A tearing pain suddenly exploded. Jade Fan felt a part of her soul abruptly separate. Immediately after, a loud wail filled every corner of the Nine幽Palace.
(Note: “Nine幽Palace” might be a proper noun from a specific context, so it’s kept as is. If “幽” here is meant to be translated, it could be rendered as “Nine幽Palace” → “Nine幽Palace” or “Palace of Nine幽”, depending on the intended meaning. Let me know if you’d like it adjusted.)
However, based on the instruction to not retain any Chinese characters, here is the revised version:
A tearing pain suddenly exploded. Jade Fan felt a part of her soul abruptly separate. Immediately after, a loud wail filled every corner of the Nine幽Palace.
(Note: Since the instruction says not to retain any Chinese characters, if “Nine幽Palace” is not a fixed name, it should be fully translated. Assuming it refers to a mythical or fictional place, an adjusted version could be: “Nine Dark Palaces” or “Palace of Nine Shadows”. Let me know if you’d like that clarification applied.)
Final version with no Chinese characters retained:
A tearing pain suddenly exploded. Jade Fan felt a part of her soul abruptly separate. Immediately after, a loud wail filled every corner of the Nine Dark Palaces.
“Ah, the child!”
Jade Fan’s heart quivered, a mysterious warmth welling up inside her. Her pale lips trembled uncontrollably as she commanded, “Quickly, bring it here for me to see.”
As the palace maid holding the infant was about to step forward, suddenly the roof exploded with a thunderous crash, creating a large hole. A fierce gust of wind swirled in, within which a sash shot like a meteor and coiled around the baby.
“Ahh!” The palace maids were blown every which way. Jade Fan, terrified and alarmed, quickly waved her jade fan, but weakened from childbirth, she failed to retrieve her child.
“Peng!”
Another dull explosion sounded. The walls of the room collapsed under the shockwave; the wind surged skyward, vanishing into the void, and both the enemy and Jade Fan disappeared.
From the empty sky came the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons’ furious roar—a scream from her very soul. Jade Fan’s beautiful hair flew without wind, her myriad strands dancing like snakes. Despite her weakened state, she roared ahead, “Yuanshi Tianwang, return my child—”
“Jade Fan, this noble one does not wish to take advantage of your vulnerability. With your current power, you should retreat. Rest assured, Heaven will not harm the child, only raise it properly.” As the wind slowed, Yuanshi Tianwang’s composed figure emerged. Though his actions were not honorable, for the peace of the Three Realms, he had to seize the future demon star.
For the first time in her life, Jade Fan forgot to assess the strength of her enemy and, disregarding everything, raised her jade fan.
As Taiyuan Yvnü stepped forward to stand beside her husband, the swaddling in her arms suddenly radiated red light. A red figure burst from her arms, leaving behind a string of crisp, cheerful laughter as it sped into the sky.
The female immortal couldn’t help but be startled. Yuanshi Tianwang’s voice turned stern, “Indeed the Demon Star! Taiyuan, chase quickly!”
As the divine couple prepared to pursue, Jade Fan naturally tried to stop them. Although the cold wind from her jade fan could not harm her opponents, the extraordinary infant managed to escape without a trace. At this moment, Jade Fan’s cunning nature returned. With a sweep of her fan, she vanished far away from the Yuanshi couple.
“Yuanshi Tianwang, today’s grudge, I will have your life in return! Giggling…”
The laughter faded into the distance, the sinister wind lingering. Jade Fan’s hatred was bone-deep and icy cold, filled with inexplicable confidence!
Beneath the sea, on Purple Mansion Immortal Mountain, at the very moment Jade Fan gave birth.
“Wa, wa…”
Suddenly, cries of an infant filled the area around the immortal mountain for hundreds of miles. After enduring a difficult pregnancy of nearly two years, Beigong Zhen finally gave birth, the child arriving with a cry.
Suddenly, the infant’s wail changed. Stormy winds and torrential rain abruptly covered Purple Mansion Mountain. Amid thunder and lightning, several demonic shadows dashed into the sky, cackling triumphantly as they fled.
“Return my child…”
With disheveled hair, Beigong Zhen crawled out of the door, blood trickling from her lips as she had obviously sustained serious injuries. She could only watch helplessly as her child was taken by demons.
Just as despair overwhelmed her, a ray of hope pierced the dark clouds above. A bird’s cry rang out, and a qingluan soared through the sky.
“Since all cultivator friends have come such a long way, why not stop by Purple Mansion for a brief rest?”
Clad in black robes, barefoot, and standing proudly atop the qingluan, the tall and graceful figure “Jingjing” spoke calmly. Her words, though tranquil and unassuming, caused the demonic beings to lose their composure, their innate evil nature overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of guilt.
Space rippled around the tall, graceful figure of “Jingjing.” The strands of hair trailing from her shoulders floated in a mysteriously elegant pattern. With just one step forward, the killing intent of over a dozen demons vanished completely. Their hands lowered, they seemed ready to surrender.
“Gua, gua… Little girl, don’t show off your skills in front of Old Turtle. Witness my treasure!” The strange laughter always carried a greedy tone. The Su Nu technique could not cleanse the Turtle King’s greed. His chest opened, and a flame of avarice, accumulated over ten thousand years, shot forth. The demonic spirits finally snapped out of their trance.
