CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 236 SLIGHTLY RECKLESS

"Jin Cen, try this, it’s something Dad specially had someone make today!"

Ye Yilan pointed to a plate of fish in front of her and continued, "This fish was fed with spirit medicine, eat more, it’s especially good, especially for those who are pregnant!"

"And this... and that.... try them all!"

"By the way, did you eat the supplements I sent over a few days ago?"

...

Throughout the meal, Ye Yilan was in this state.

Chen Xuan was really taken aback.

But Ye Jincen was very happy, nodding frequently.

A simple ’Thank you, Dad’!

Made Ye Yilan even more unstoppable.

...

After the meal, Ye Yilan took Ye Jincen aside, and the father and daughter chatted leisurely.

Chen Xuan, like most sons-in-law, wandered leisurely in the City Lord’s Mansion garden.

"Don’t take it to heart, Yilan has also had a tough time these years. Now that Jincen is pregnant, he feels like he has done right by her at last!"

From not far away, Xuan Er walked over slowly.

"I know, that’s why I came out here, to let them have a father-daughter talk."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

Although Ye Yilan is the lord of the mansion, he is also a father. The incident with Jincen made him feel deeply guilty, so it hasn’t been easy over the years.

"Hmm. By the way, has your cultivation improved during this time?"

As a master, Xuan Er was most concerned about Martial Dao, and he very much hoped for Chen Xuan to take that step and become the first Immortal Grade in the history of the Divine Movement Sect.

"Alas!"

Chen Xuan first sighed, then shook his head.

"If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, you are already exceptional enough. At least in the Nine Provinces, there’s no one more outstanding than you!"

Seeing this, Xuan Er also offered words of comfort.

Throughout the Nine Provinces, only Xia Yi was the only one.

Even in ancient times, there were only a few.

It was his expectations that were too high — Immortal Grade! It’s not that easy.

"It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s that it can’t be done!"

The Divine Movement Sect holds great significance in Xuan Er’s heart, and Chen Xuan was seen as its honor.

So seeing him somewhat disappointed, he thought about it and decided to tell him the truth.

"What do you mean?"

Xuan Er’s brows furrowed slightly, looking at him with suspicion.

"Xia Yi said that the Human Realm cannot give rise to any Immortal Grade! Because the Human Realm is too fragile!"

Seeing him become even more puzzled, Chen Xuan explained the reason in detail to him, but kept the matter of the Supreme Domain and the Human Realm’s hundred years a secret.

"So you’re saying that the current Human Realm cannot bear another Immortal Grade!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan nodded, then said somewhat helplessly, "So there’s nothing to be done!"

But after hearing what he said,

Xuan Er’s eyes fixed on him, looking at him in a way that even made him feel guilty.

"What’s up, Master?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

He certainly wasn’t easy to fool.

He believed that the Human Realm couldn’t give rise to another Immortal Grade, but why? What would be the impact if one were born?

So he asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong with the Human Realm?"

After all, it was possible in ancient times, why isn’t it possible now!

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a bitter laugh in his heart, he wouldn’t have said anything if he knew.

This master of his certainly managed to reach First Grade by his own strength; he couldn’t underestimate him.

So he could only tell him the truth.

"What? The Human Realm only has a hundred years left!"

Xuan Er’s face changed dramatically, exclaiming in shock.

"Master, please keep your voice down, only a few people know about this matter right now." Chen Xuan quickly said.

"What about Xia Yi? Does he have a solution?"

How could he remain calm about such a thing? A mere hundred years, for experts like them, could pass swiftly, almost in the blink of an eye.

After all, casually closing his eyes usually lasted at least a few months, if not more than a year or two.

"This much is still unknown, after the war, Xia Yi returned to the Imperial City."

Hearing this, Xuan Er sighed heavily, his expression becoming even more grim.

"Let’s wait, since he’s an Immortal Grade and the Emperor of the Human Realm, he’ll surely come up with a plan, we just need to wait."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also comforted him with his words.

"Yes!"

Xuan Er nodded slightly, then instructed him, "Don’t tell anyone about this matter, if the news spreads, there will be huge trouble!"

"I wasn’t planning to talk about it anyway, it’s just that you’re too clever and can guess everything."

Talking with smart people is sometimes tiring indeed.

Sometimes being a bit muddled can make one happier.

"Husband...."

Just when Xuan Er was about to speak, Ye Jincen walked over, exuding a delightful aura.

Chen Xuan immediately put on a smile and asked, "Finished chatting?"

"Yes!"

Then she hugged his arm and asked, "What were you discussing?"

"Nothing much, Uncle Xuan was just asking about his cultivation progress, seeing if he had improved, but he has been slacking off a bit, you should keep an eye on him."

Xuan Er deliberately put on a stern face, looking very displeased.

"You can’t really blame Husband, it wasn’t easy to win against the Demon Realm, he ought to relax a bit, besides Husband is already very strong, it’s normal if his cultivation speed has slowed down."

Even Xuan Er couldn’t criticize Chen Xuan, after all, this was her husband!

"Ah, this favoritism really knows no bounds, so Uncle Xuan isn’t allowed to say a word against him now!"

Xuan Er said deliberately.

"Hmm! No one can criticize Husband, only us sisters are allowed to!"

At this moment, Ye Jincen was being unreasonable.

"You little girl, I’ve spoiled you too much, forgot about your uncle now that you have a husband!"

"Hehe..."

Ye Jincen giggled, not making any argument.

...

On the carriage back to the Chen Mansion.

Ye Jincen leaned against Chen Xuan’s chest.

"Husband, how was my performance just now?"

Raised his head, blinked his eyes, and invited merit.

"Very good, husband is very happy! Come, here’s a reward!" Saying this, she leaned down and kissed, intentionally choosing the ear.

Suddenly.....

"Hehehe..."

"Husband....it tickles!"

...

Night falls!

Chen Xuan first knocked open Ye Jincen’s room door.

After experiencing what it meant to be gentle like jade, he came to Su Wanqiu’s room.

The appetizer is done, this is the main course.

Having had this experience.

Chen Xuan began such simple and unadorned days.

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, two months went by.

The bellies of several women at home also gradually grew bigger.

In the back hall of the courtyard.

"Ah...."

Su Yun stretched lazily, yawned, her expression looking very tired.

"Little Sister Yun still can’t sleep well?"

Liu Rushi saw her looking so fatigued and asked worriedly.

"Yeah! Can’t sleep all night, always feel uncomfortable."

The little girl frowned tightly.

During this time, her reaction was the biggest, over three months, still throwing up with every meal.

Originally a first-grade master, her daily consumption is significant.

But she can’t eat anything and has visibly lost weight.

A few days ago,

Chen Xuan straightforwardly sealed her spiritual power, made her like an ordinary person, which was somewhat better.

But don’t know why, after sealing the spiritual power, the little girl couldn’t sleep well at night.

Even though these days, he stayed overnight in her room, coaxing her to sleep.

But the effect was not too good, leaving Chen Xuan really worried.

"Sister, it’s okay! Brother Xuan went to invite a renowned doctor, will be well checked by then."

Su Wanqiu, with her six-month pregnant belly, slowly came to her side, holding Su Yun’s hand, extremely heartbroken.

"It’s okay, sister, just can’t sleep, at least I can eat now."

The little girl smiled, comforting herself, and also did not want her sister to worry.

Now she was no longer the confused girl from Shuanggang Village.

"Hmm, you’ve suffered!"

Su Wanqiu hugged her in her arms, gently stroking her head.

Leaning against her sister’s arms, Su Yun felt particularly comfortable, unconsciously falling asleep, and soon the hall was filled with faint snoring.

...

Great Xia Imperial City.

Chen Xuan’s figure appeared directly in mid-air of the Imperial City.

Anxiously, he directly extended his spiritual power, starting to search for Xia Lingyu’s presence.

"Who dares to be presumptuous in the Imperial City!"

Suddenly a sharp shout rang out, a figure soared into the sky, rushing towards Chen Xuan.

Helplessly, Chen Xuan retracted his spiritual power, just standing there, waiting for the newcomer.

"It’s him!"

The newcomer was Xu Zhe, the former leader of the Grand Ancestral Temple’s Dragon Guard.

Seeing it was Chen Xuan, he was shocked.

He initially thought it was someone daring enough to break into the Imperial City, recklessly releasing spiritual power.

On the day of the human and demon battle, Chen Xuan had single-handedly killed two king-level demons.

If it weren’t for him, who knows how many masters among the Human Race would have died.

So for Chen Xuan, Xu Zhe held deep admiration.

"Chen Xuan, what is this...?"

Chen Xuan was a bit surprised, thinking he might have to do a lot of talking, unexpectedly he was recognized.

But thinking about it, it was normal; after all, during the human and demon battle, he had made quite the impression.

This person being a first-grade master, recognizing him makes reasonable sense.

So he spoke: "I want to see Xia Lingyu, because I don’t know where she is, I was a bit presumptuous, many offenses, please forgive me!"

After all, this is the Great Xia’s Imperial Palace; if he wasn’t in such a hurry, he wouldn’t use such methods.

"You’re looking for the Princess? Then follow me!"

Xu Zhe didn’t ask for reasons, directly offering to take him to see Xia Lingyu.

After all, he was quite aware of the relationship between the two.

"Thank you very much!"

Chen Xuan nodded to him, as a sign of gratitude.

Flying is prohibited in the Imperial City, so Chen Xuan followed him, passing through palace after palace.

It took a full hour before they finally stopped in front of a palace.

Chen Xuan looked up and saw the three characters of Lingyu Palace.

Moreover, outside the hall, not only were there no guards, but not even a single palace maid.

At this moment, Xu Zhe slightly bent over, whispering, "Greetings to the Princess, Young Master Xuan requests an audience!"

Inside the hall, Xia Lingyu sat cross-legged in the center, after hearing the voice, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Chen Xuan?

Why is he here!

Then she softly spoke, "Come in!"

Outside the hall.

"Young Master Xuan, please!"

Xu Zhe extended a hand respectfully.

"Thank you!"

Then he walked towards the hall, gently pushing open the vermilion door.

Only to see Xia Lingyu, dressed in red, standing there, as their eyes met.

"Long time no see!"

Chen Xuan spoke first.

But Xia Lingyu still maintained a cold demeanor, her icy voice ringing out, "What brings you to see me?"

She had already figured him out; definitely one who doesn’t visit without a reason.

Therefore, she didn’t waste words, directly asking the purpose.
