Shen Yao watched the Eighth Madam leave, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed that nothing was left except the residual fragrance in the air.

The system was puzzled. "What's the snake demon's purpose in coming here?" "Just to negotiate? There's no need to make a special trip."

Shen Yao sneered, "You just feel that you are not sure of defeating me." If the snake demon could suppress her, she would not trade with her in a friendly manner.

System: ...I see. It seems this is a field investigation. We need to adapt to the situation.

"Then why did the host agree?" "It's obvious that our side has the upper hand."

Shen Yao spread out her palms, saying that she couldn't always stay by Lin Xingzhi's side. It was easy to dodge an open attack, but it was hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. "The snake demon isn't the kind of impulsive, easily angered demon. There's no point in fighting her."

Why do something that has no benefits? Shen Yao is a demon, not a human, and she does not have the idea of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

As for Lin Xingzhi? After Shen Yao's careful observation over the past few days, he was the type who would just do his job. If Lin Xingzhi was really asked to work hard for the country, he would be powerless even if he wanted to.

"Host, how do you tell Lin Xingzhi about this?" the system asked curiously.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, "What are you talking about? Just wait until it's over."

System: ...Huh?

'Lin Xingzhi will not just ignore it. He also has to leave some room for himself. Fuyun City pays a large proportion of the national treasury every year.' If he really ignores the situation and makes a big fuss, the emperor in the palace will not agree first.

In fact, the snake demon didn't need to come over at all, because her deal was Lin Xingzhi's bottom line. Now it was just a matter of trying to see who would give in.

It was obvious that the snake demons were the first to give in, and Lin Xingzhi won without bloodshed.

Raising her hand and patting her palm, Shen Yao faked a smile and signaled the system to learn more. Sometimes you can't be too anxious, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.

system:……

The system was greatly shocked by this, especially since the subsequent development of the whole matter was exactly as Shen Yao said. Lin Xingzhi did not force the government office too much. He just made up for the previous deficit and imposed a small fine as a warning. Other matters, including personnel handling, were handled lightly.

However, since Lin Xingzhi was so magnanimous, the people involved in the incident in Fuyun City could not help but take it seriously. The previous step-by-step pressure really made them nervous, and now they were even more nervous, like a frightened bird.

"Look, this is because I've done too many bad things and I'm always afraid that ghosts will come to visit me."

You will be troubled by this for a long time in the future, and it all depends on your own ability when you can recover.

The system is still frightened by this. There is no difference between being alive and being dead.

No, there is still a difference.

Dead people can't help the national treasury make money, living people are more useful.

Lin Xingzhi stayed in Floating Cloud City for two months, and only planned to return to Beijing when the weather got cold.

Shen Yao naturally wanted to go with him, but a small incident happened before departure, which forced Lin Xingzhi to postpone his trip and take care of his wife who gave birth to his children wholeheartedly.

Shen Yao:......

"Don't be so nervous, I'm in good health." She is a demon, and as long as there is no fierce fight, the child in her belly will be fine no matter how hard she struggles.

Lin Xingzhi shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, there's no rush to return to the capital. We should listen to the doctor and wait three months before setting off."

After saying that, Lin Xingzhi inevitably moved his eyes to Shen Yao's flat belly.

To this day, he still finds it miraculous that he could have a child.

It was clear that before he left the capital, the imperial physician had asserted that his physical condition was becoming increasingly serious. Not only would marrying and having children become a luxury, but even his lifespan would be affected.

As a result, after coming to Floating Cloud City, he not only had a wife, but also a child.

Lin Xingzhi: ...Suddenly, a new light appears after a dark period.

Because Lin Xingzhi paid too much attention to her, Shen Yao was forced to live a good life of eating and drinking. Every day when she opened her eyes, she would be served various nourishing soups and meals, and she would be accompanied by beautiful women throughout the whole process.

Shen Yao: ...This kind of life is corrupt and decadent, it's really enjoyable!

The Eighth Lady, who was hoping Lin Xingzhi would leave quickly: ...Ahhhh, I'm going crazy

The group procrastinated and did not remember to return to Beijing until after the New Year in Floating Cloud City.

At this time, Shen Yao was already three months pregnant, and her belly was slightly bulging like an inverted round bowl.

Lin Xingzhi was more nervous than before because the doctor diagnosed Shen Yao with multiple pregnancies.

Shen Yao: ...After all, she is a rabbit demon, so it is reasonable for her to have multiple babies.

"Will it really not cause any harm to the mother?" Lin Xingzhi looked worried. The handsome man frowned slightly, and his every frown and smile was full of charm.

"No, I'm in good health," Shen Yao raised her hand and touched both sides of Lin Xingzhi's cheeks, explaining in a low voice that the pregnancy of fairies and humans is similar but different, because the children born to fairies are nourished by the power of fairies and are strengthened when they are conceived in the mother's body.

What's more, Shen Yao has a cheat. The pills she takes every day are not for show. She guarantees that the children she gives birth to will be as strong as calves. Although they cannot break stones with one punch, they can easily kick away a wooden stake.

Lin Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately raised his hand to hold Shen Yao in his arms to express his gratitude. At this moment, he didn't care whether Shen Yao was a demon, nor did he care that their child was a mixed-race. The thought of him, a lonely man, having a wife and children made his blood boil.

Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Lin Xingzhi's thin back, thinking to herself, poor child, this is royal affection.

It is said that a feeling of brokenness can easily arouse people's desire to protect. Whether men or women, they will become extremely soft-hearted when encountering such a situation.

Shen Yao inevitably paid more attention to Lin Xingzhi, which made the system hesitate to speak. Hiss, it seems that this King Jing is a little bit unusual.

While Lin Xingzhi was away, the system quietly reminded the host not to get too deeply involved, "I might be deceiving the host's feelings."

What if they set a trap for the host to fall into? Just like the fox spirit that was skinned and pulled out by the scholar, even though its own kind avenged it in the end, the demon was dead and could not be resurrected, so it still lost out.

Shen Yao:......

"You are right to remind me, so we must closely monitor Lin Xingzhi's every move," Shen Yao turned around and handed the matter to the system, because this was the system's specialty.

The system has no objection to this. Protecting the host is protecting itself. They are partners bound together.

Shen Yao sent the system away and stayed in the room with Lin Xingzhi.

Only after receiving letters urging him from the capital did Lin Xingzhi take Shen Yao back to the capital.

The carriage was lengthened and thickened. In order to make Shen Yao more comfortable, Lin Xingzhi even asked for permission to make the modifications. After all, in the ancient imperial society, some things were considered illegal if used by ordinary people.

Lin Xingzhi is the King of Jing. No matter his birth or power, he is at the top of the country. But for safety reasons, he still obtained the emperor's personal decree to prevent anyone from deliberately making trouble after he returned to the capital.

"Deliberately looking for trouble?"

Shen Yao blinked innocently. She didn't expect that the gentle and good-tempered Lin Xingzhi would offend people sometimes.

Lin Xingzhi raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly. "At that time, I hadn't met Yao Niang yet, and the imperial doctors always said things that were disappointing. I'm not a saint who has no desires, so..." His temper didn't show so good.

Shen Yao:......

I understand. At that time, Lin Xingzhi would go crazy if something didn't go his way. Since he was alone and fearless, he naturally didn't care about offending anyone.

Lin Xingzhi now has a happy family with a son and a daughter (soon to be), and he belatedly realizes that his previous madness might have caused unnecessary trouble.

Lin Xingzhi smiled and approached Shen Yao, assuring him that those he had offended were people with problems, and he never made things difficult for good people or good officials.

Shen Yao: ...Okay, in terms of character alone, Lin Xingzhi is much better than some people far away in the capital.

Shen Yao leaned against the window while Lin Xingzhi busied himself with escorting her to the specially made carriage. She raised her hand to open the curtains and then tilted her head to look outside.

The Eighth Madam, who lived just across the street from Shen Yao, leaned her arms against the window of the restaurant and waved at Shen Yao with a smile on her face.

"There will be a period later"

"Bon Voyage"

The two demons opened their lips slightly to each other, and what came out were silent words.

The carriage under him moved slowly, and Lin Xingzhi lifted the curtain and walked in.

Shen Yao let go of the curtain very naturally, smiled and raised her hand to greet him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xingzhi subconsciously became concerned about Shen Yao's health.

"Nothing, I just miss you," Shen Yao replied, which made Lin Xingzhi very happy.

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi's voice was as gentle and meaningful as water. He came and sat down next to Shen Yao, and at the same time raised his hand to pull her into his arms.

The faint fragrance instantly filled the tip of her nose, causing Shen Yao to unconsciously take a deep breath. Hmm, I feel a little drunk.

system:……

The system couldn't bear to see this couple who only knew how to flirt. How come it didn't realize that the host was so infatuated before? It seemed as if there was nothing else in his mind except Lin Xingzhi all day long.

"In a world where humans and demons fall in love, how many demons can be expected to be sober and self-disciplined when entangled with humans?"

Reason cannot defeat instinct, and going against the tide cannot stop the trend. From the moment Shen Yao chose to complete the main quest, she jumped into the trap dug by this world.

Raise your hand and gently stroke your lower abdomen, you can feel the baby growing in your belly.

Shen Yao lay on her side in the car with her eyes half closed, letting her black hair, which was combed behind her head, fall naturally around her body.

"Host, how should we deal with this?" "It's too dangerous!"

"We'll take it one step at a time," Shen Yao raised her hand and yawned, signaling the system that there was no need to be so nervous. This world was aimed at all living things, regardless of whether they were humans or fairies. It was a bit like the aura of automatically lowering intelligence when falling in love.

"It will take several months to return to the capital from Floating Cloud City. If we encounter any unexpected situations on the way, we might not even be able to give birth to the child."

By then, most of their main mission will be completed. If Lin Xingzhi is scheming and hiding something, they can also cut off the source of the problem and take their cubs away directly.

It’s not like Shen Yao hasn’t been a single mother before. As long as they raise the child successfully and complete the main tasks prescribed by the system, they can leave this world at any time.

However, these are all backup options, provided that Lin Xingzhi is unreliable.

From her observation, Lin Xingzhi was still doing well, so there was no need to force the children to endure hardships. Did she really think raising children alone was easy? A qualified mother would prepare for her children's future in advance.

Before Lin Xingzhi knew it, Shen Yao had already classified him as a tool for raising a child. His words and deeds were completely devoid of the intimacy that should exist between husband and wife. Instead, he was only planning for their future life.

That's why people say Shen Yao is the chosen worker. No matter how affectionate she appears on the surface, in fact, she values herself more in her heart.

Everything she did was for the main mission. The completion of the main mission was the basis for her to travel through time. Lovers, children, feelings, power... all could become means to be exploited.

The lack of energy after pregnancy made Shen Yao sleepy, and her eyelids inevitably became heavy.

In just a moment, Shen Yao changed from lying on her side to lying horizontally, leaning against the soft pillow behind her and fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Yao found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed.

Shen Yao supported herself on the bed and sat up, shaking her head slightly. She put on her shoes and got out of bed only after she felt better.

blah-

The tightly closed door was pushed open from the inside out, and Shen Yao saw the colorful sunset hanging in the sky, and Lin Xingzhi sitting in the yard, fanning himself and playing chess.

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi put down the chess piece in his hand, took a few quick steps and supported Shen Yao, who looked confused.

"This is"

I remember that they were clearly still on their way, and I didn't know where this yard in front of them came from.

"The weather is bad, so we've arrived at Lianshui Town to rest for a while. This is the place provided by the government office."

Lin Xingzhi helped Shen Yao to sit on the stone bench and explained that there had been frequent snowstorms in recent times. Although Lianshui Town was small, it had convenient transportation. After the group had rested well, they would set off north.

Shen Yao leaned her head into Lin Xingzhi's arms and said, "Because I'm pregnant, Xingzhi is worried about me."

"What's that? I enjoy it." If the emperor hadn't urged him too much, he could have delayed it.

Lin Xingzhi is now living a happy life with his wife and children. He secretly sighs that such days are intoxicating. If someone dares to destroy it... His eyes sharpened, and he thought of the bad words some people in the capital said about monsters. He pursed his lips unconsciously, and his determination to protect his wife and children became even stronger.

The group stayed in Lianshui Town for a few days and then left early in the morning.

Shen Yao could feel the presence of several demonic auras in Lianshui Town without even opening the curtains. She sighed in her heart that demons were everywhere, turned around and leaned on Lin Xingzhi's shoulder and fell asleep again.

Lin Xingzhi pinched his fingers subconsciously, feeling uncontrollable worry.

Although Yao Niang kept saying that nothing was wrong and the accompanying doctor could not diagnose anything, Yao Niang's sleepiness and fatigue became more and more serious day by day, and Lin Xingzhi could not help but think of the worst.

Just like when his mother passed away, he was nervous and helpless and could not help. Now all this happened to Yao Niang, which brought back bad memories for him again.

The group returned to Beijing along the predetermined route, passing through several towns, large and small, along the way.

Halfway through the angelica period and the journey is almost over, Shen Yao's sleepiness has improved, she can eat and drink and go shopping. The only concern is that her belly is a little too big, and from a distance it looks like a sign of labor.

Lin Xingzhi's tension was visible to the naked eye, especially when the doctor who accompanied the team took his pulse for a long time and finally said tremblingly that Shen Yao was very likely pregnant with her third or even fourth child. Lin Xingzhi almost fainted.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao had an additional task to persuade Lin Xingzhi. Although she looked scary, the fetus nourished by the demonic energy was extremely stable, and there was no chance of difficult labor that human women would face.
