Chapter 164 Becoming a Father
That day, Li Luochen had just finished training with Dugu Yan when he received a letter from Qian Renxue. The sender was Serpent Spear Douluo, which made Li Luochen think that something had happened to Qian Renxue.
After all, the two had only just started dating, and he really liked the little angel, so he directly pulled Dugu Yan to the Crown Prince's residence. Anyway, they had already met, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Li Luochen entered the Crown Prince's residence without any trouble; no one dared to stop him. Who in Tiandou City didn't know that Li Luochen was a lackey of the Crown Prince's residence? The youngest and most talented Soul Master on the continent, becoming the Crown Prince's man, directly solidified the Crown Prince's position.
Since Xue Qinghe had a child, Emperor Xueye's suspicions about him have lessened. He pretends not to know about Xue Qinghe's poisoning of his two brothers, since he himself became emperor in a similar way.
To be an emperor, one must have ruthless methods. The only pity is that the crown prince's talent for cultivation is not high. He is already in his twenties and is only a Soul Venerable. However, Emperor Xueye has also met the crown princess. Well, she is a bit old, in her thirties, but her son likes her.
If the grandson reaches the Soul Saint level in his thirties, then he will have extremely high cultivation talent, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
It was precisely because the Crown Prince had an heir that Emperor Xueye felt at ease gradually passing on power to Xue Qinghe. As for Xue Beng, well, he had a terrible time. While pretending to be a playboy, he offended a Soul Douluo powerhouse and was beaten half-paralyzed by the Soul Douluo.
That Contra powerhouse might have been "afraid" of the Heaven Dou Empire's strength and didn't kill him, but the strong cannot be humiliated. Not killing the prince was not a slap in the face to the royal family. Besides, it was the prince who started the trouble, so he was in the wrong.
This time, Xue Qinghe's status rose again. Li Luochen had heard Dugu Bo talk about how Emperor Xue Ye had privately discussed state affairs with him. Emperor Xue Ye wanted to abdicate, and his health was deteriorating day by day. Emperor Xue Ye suspected that he had been poisoned.
"Of course he was poisoned," Dugu Bo said directly, adding that he would detoxify Emperor Xueye. In fact, Dugu Bo already knew that Emperor Xueye was poisoned, and the poison was the forbidden poison of the Po Clan, "Seven-Colored Splendor."
Dugu Bo certainly knew how to detoxify, but what benefit would it bring him? None! He had long since repaid the favor Prince Xuexing had done for him, and he was already an elder of the Spirit Hall.
Now that they have officially joined a faction, of course they have to do things. On the surface, Dugu Bo is detoxifying, and Emperor Xueye's health seems to be getting better day by day. He is even full of energy and doesn't feel tired when he indulges in the harem every night and deals with state affairs the next day.
Emperor Xueye was overjoyed and presented Dugu Bo with a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone as a token of his gratitude. This was a forty-five-thousand-year-old Thunder Eagle torso bone, which Emperor Xueye personally led Dugu Bo to select.
Originally, Emperor Xueye wanted to give Dugu Bo a snake-type soul bone, but Dugu Bo refused. Fortunately, there was a Soul Emperor named Mo Yu among the younger generation of Shrek Academy who was quite strong and had the potential to be granted a title.
He took the soul bone. To be honest, Emperor Xueye felt a pang of regret at the time. This was one of the royal family's heirloom soul bones, of extremely high quality. However, since Dugu Bo had "saved" his life, he let it go.
Did Dugu Bo really save Emperor Xueye? Of course not. The medicine Dugu Bo gave Emperor Xueye made it seem as if the poison had no effect, and Emperor Xueye felt better day by day.
In reality, Emperor Xueye's body was already riddled with holes, yet he still felt vigorous and energetic? That was at the cost of his lifespan. If Emperor Xueye continued to indulge in such sensual pleasures, he would probably die suddenly within two years.
The cause of death was excessive indulgence in sex, which is the brilliance of the Po clan's use of poison. Apart from Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and Tang San, no one else could tell that it was caused by poisoning.
Aren't there plenty of emperors who die from excessive indulgence? It's a normal phenomenon. As long as Xue Ye dies, Qian Renxue can ascend the throne, and then the Heaven Dou Empire will be in the hands of the Spirit Hall.
Slowly kill off the nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire. Anyway, in the small places of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall's reputation is far higher than that of the empire. Nearly half of the Heaven Dou Empire's territory has already fallen into Qian Renxue's hands.
But the message conveyed to the royal family remained one of peace and prosperity.
Li Luochen pulled Dugu Yan's hand and led her towards the secret chamber. He knew the route like the back of his hand. Dugu Yan looked at Li Luochen with a resentful expression; this jerk clearly had been here many times. But it would be good to have someone to share the burden; her kidneys were really giving out. They say there's no such thing as a field that's been over-plowed, only an ox that's been worked to death, but Li Luochen was a real exception. He truly didn't get tired. Dugu Yan felt that if Li Luochen went all out, her field might really be ruined.
Anyway, she had already met Qian Renxue. She was slightly taller and had a better figure than her. But! Qian Renxue wouldn't turn into Little Dragon Girl. Dugu Yan knew that when she transformed into a dragon and her body was covered in dragon scales, she would increase Li Luochen's combat power.
Entering the secret room,
Li Luochen and Dugu Yan had already seen Qian Renxue. At this moment, Qian Renxue was truly enjoying a nutritious meal. The secret room was filled with a rich life force, which made people's spirits tremble.
Li Luochen was very curious. Qian Renxue's eating habits usually consisted mainly of sweets and pastries, so why was she eating so well today?
These are all nutritious and delicious foods, with perfect color, aroma, and taste. Why is the Azure Phoenix behind me looking at me with such a murderous gaze?
Li Luochen and Dugu Yan sat at the table opposite Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue put down her cutlery and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Li Luochen could tell that Qian Renxue was wearing light makeup today.
Dugu Yan could also tell that Qian Renxue was in trouble, and she felt that her position as the first wife might be shaken, so she became somewhat uneasy.
"I'm pregnant!" Qian Renxue said bluntly.
"What?! (High decibels) x2" Li Luochen and Dugu Yan shouted loudly.
Li Luochen looked surprised. He got pregnant on his first time? He was going to be a father? But Li Luochen was still very happy. He had lived in Douluo Continent for nineteen years and his strength had reached the top level in this world.
Qian Renxue is pregnant, so the Spirit Hall definitely won't touch him. He was worried about what would happen if the Spirit Hall betrayed him. Well, now it's all over. Qian Renxue is pregnant, so the mother's status will rise with the child! Oh no, the father's status will rise with the child!
Qian Renxue and her child will definitely be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall, but Li Luochen guesses that the next Spirit Hall will probably not be the Pope, but the Emperor of the Spirit Empire.
Dugu Yan was completely dumbfounded. "It's over, it's over, Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan, you gave up your child just to play for a few more years? Waaah, if only I hadn't specifically used contraception after each workout."
Her own child can already walk, and she's about to use the child to climb the social ladder. Ugh, this is so annoying!
Dugu Yan had actually considered having children, but after witnessing Liu Erlong's childbirth, she became somewhat hesitant. She wanted children, but was also afraid of the pain of childbirth.
(Li Luochen: It's okay, I've expanded your uterus, you'll definitely have a natural birth!)
"Then you can't do any more undercover missions. You need to rest and recuperate. Are you planning to go back to the Spirit Hall to recuperate, or go to Shrek City to recuperate?"
While Dugu Yan was lost in thought, Li Luochen asked the crucial question.
Hearing that Li Luochen cared about her, Qian Renxue was very happy, but she couldn't easily show it, because she was proud!
"Since you've already said so, going to Shrek City is fine, but I need to go to the Spirit Hall beforehand to report it. You'll come with me then."
When they started talking about the same thing, Qian Renxue suddenly smiled slyly. She was already looking forward to seeing Li Luochen being scolded by her grandfather in the Hall of Worship, because that bastard was always bullying her.
"Alright, I'll go. Call me when the time comes." Li Luochen agreed. He knew he couldn't escape a beating. His granddaughter had been tricked, so the old man couldn't possibly remain silent. He was probably furious.
