Chapter 34: The Seventh Child Is Born!
After leaving the Ye family, Sikong Mingyue immediately looked like she wanted to say something.
However, Xia Zixuan seemed to know exactly what she was about to say and cut her off directly.
“I know what you want to say. But Mingyue, I hope you understand—every decision I make is never taken lightly!”
Hearing this, Sikong Mingyue immediately deflated, but she still protested unwillingly, “Still, you can’t just sell me off like that!”
Xia Zixuan shook her head. “Mingyue, you’re underestimating the head of the Ye family far too much.”
“I looked into him. He’s married three wives in total, and every single one of them is remarkable!”
“First, there’s that Yue Rushuang. She was once famous across the lands, even shocking Cangyuan Ancient City. But then, all of a sudden, a genius fell into ruin, and countless people mocked her.”
“Just when everyone thought she’d remain stuck at the Condensed Core Realm for life, she married Ye Wushang. Less than a year later, she broke through to the Divine Sea Realm—and shortly after that, advanced rapidly to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!”
“Then there’s Zhao Qingge. Originally just an unremarkable legitimate daughter of the Zhao family. She’s only been married to Ye Wushang for less than three years, but her progress has been meteoric. Now she’s at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, and rumor has it she’s currently in seclusion. Once she emerges, the Ye family might gain yet another Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster!”
“Lastly, there’s Mo Sijun. She spent years in the Mo family cultivating at a slow pace, never standing out. But after marrying Ye Wushang, she’s now already at the eighth level of the Condensed Core Realm—and all this in such a short amount of time!”
“All these things prove one thing: Ye Wushang is extremely mysterious. Haven’t you always wanted to improve your cultivation as fast as possible and avenge your family? Following Ye Wushang is your best choice!”
“If you can win his favor, then once you two rise together in power, you might even be able to restore the glory of the Sikong clan!”
Sikong Mingyue fell silent upon hearing Xia Zixuan’s words.
She knew her cousin didn’t speak lightly.
After spending years together, she was deeply aware that her cousin’s mind was sharper than anyone she had ever met.
As for Ye Wushang, truth be told, she didn’t reject him.
He was someone born of a royal clan, and right after breaking into the Purple Mansion Realm, he had managed to instantly kill a cultivator at the sixth level of the same realm. That alone was proof of his terrifying talent.
Not to mention, he was young, strikingly handsome, and even had a genuinely good personality.
It was just that… being expected to marry him right after their first meeting—that was something she found hard to accept.
Seeing her fall quiet, Xia Zixuan turned to the middle-aged man beside them and asked, “Uncle Zhong, you fought him. What was your impression?”
Uncle Zhong fell silent at her words, thinking back to that black-clothed youth with terrifying power, his body involuntarily trembled, and an innate sense of reverence rose in his heart.
Under the two women’s gazes, he finally chose to speak the truth.
“Very strong. And… he didn’t even go all out. He didn’t even use half of his power. If he had, I would’ve already died by now!”
This statement shocked both Xia Zixuan and Sikong Mingyue again.
Uncle Zhong’s words had a profound impact on them.
They had known Ye Wushang was strong, but not this strong.
He had casually killed a cultivator at the sixth level of the Purple Mansion Realm—and that wasn’t even using his full strength? Not even half?
Sikong Mingyue’s mouth dropped open. “This Ye Wushang… is he that powerful?”
Uncle Zhong nodded solemnly. “Terrifying. I’ve roamed far and wide for years, and this man is a top-tier prodigy. Among those of the same rank, I doubt there are even a handful who can defeat him.”
“Miss, Young Miss—this man is truly dangerous. In our current situation, we must build good relations with him and never offend him. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
At this point, his face was grave, and he didn’t hesitate to show his dread of Ye Wushang.
Hearing all this, both Xia Zixuan and Sikong Mingyue nodded, falling into silence.
Even Sikong Mingyue no longer objected to marrying Ye Wushang!
On the other side, after sending the three of them off, Ye Wushang headed to the rear courtyard to find Yue Rushuang.
Coincidentally, all three women were present, so Ye Wushang didn’t bother hiding anything and directly told them his plan.
Upon hearing it, Yue Rushuang simply smiled and said, “I’m fine with anything—whatever Husband decides.”
Mo Sijun, however, tilted her head slightly. “Husband, you agreed to this so easily. Is it just because you want to marry a beauty?”
Before Ye Wushang could reply, Zhao Qingge, with a knowing look, answered for him.
“Looks like our husband isn’t just interested in that cousin—he probably has his eyes on Her Highness, the Princess, too!”
Ye Wushang rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Was it that obvious?”
At that, all three women rolled their eyes at him simultaneously with an I-knew-it look on their faces, leaving Ye Wushang even more speechless.
Yue Rushuang chuckled. “You all know Husband’s character. I imagine those two women must be exceptional.”
She knew better than anyone—was Ye Wushang the lecherous type as the rumors claimed?
Among the many stunning maidservants in the Ye family, Ye Wushang had never touched a single one.
A man capable of suppressing his desires like that could hardly be called a lustful pervert. She simply didn’t believe it.
Thinking this, she winked at him. “Don’t worry, Husband. I’ll help you with their mindset!”
In the end, the conversation ended with Ye Wushang fleeing in embarrassment while the women burst into laughter.
Time passed. News from the royal capital grew increasingly tense.
The current ruler of Great Xia now only woke up once every few days. His death was clearly approaching.
Amidst the tension, the Ye family ushered in a new chapter—their three women had reached their due dates.
The first to give birth was Mo Sijun. After half an hour of labor, she safely delivered a daughter for Ye Wushang.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host. The seventh child has been born. Commencing aptitude assessment…]
[Fate: Red. Aptitude: Top-tier. Innate Trait: Nine Yin Profound Body. Overall Evaluation: Heaven’s Chosen!]
This was likely the lowest evaluation out of all his children so far.
And yet, this child’s talent filled Ye Wushang with a sense of pressure.
The Nine Yin Profound Body was an elite dual-cultivation physique, often known as a furnace body.
This physique even surpassed Mo Sijun’s own.
For a moment, Ye Wushang felt a heavy pressure descend upon his heart.
Thankfully, this talent had yet to mature, so he still had time.
