Many descendants

Rong Ruo once said that he would give his lifespan to her.

When he saw her, he asked to shake her hand.

Once he lets go, the gift of lifespan will be complete.

Su Yan felt a tightness in her throat and a pain in her chest.

It's because I love him as a person. He's so gentle and wonderful, so why is he so desperate and pessimistic?

The world is inherently unfair and not always beautiful. Striving to live doesn't guarantee you'll reach your goals. But you must persevere, because every step you take, every turning point, every effort you make, every person you meet… that's who you are—imperfect, yet vibrant enough.

"Can we give him back his lifespan?" Su Yan asked Xiao Mei.

Xiaomei replied: 【No.】

How much time does he have left to live?

Two hours.

"No need, I don't like children," Rong Ruo said with a smile, her azure eyes sparkling with tiny starlight.

Liar! In this orc world, she has never seen a male who doesn't like offspring.

Su Yan took his hand again. "Can you do me a favor?"

Rong Ruo replied, "Okay."

……

What happens to deep-sea merfolk after they die?

Su Yan knew.

He will become a flawless pearl.

Su Yan tilted her head back, trying hard not to let her tears fall. In her palm lay a deep blue pearl.

"Xiaomei, can I bring him back to life?"

【…】

I don't know how to raise children, but the one in my belly needs a father.

[The host can entrust the child to Rong Wu.]

Yes, they were originally one person, and they look exactly alike.

[A reminder to the host: It's time to eat.]

Hunger struck her, and Su Yan looked at the blue pearls in her hand. "We're missing someone to fetch food."

Su Yan returned to the inn and asked Bai Kaixin to entrust Chairman Liu of the North-South Chamber of Commerce to search for as many rare and precious medicinal herbs as possible. She also decided to postpone her trip to the academy.

He only attended school for half a day before dropping out.

The reason was the same: she was pregnant.

The entire college was shocked.

Is this what they call infertility?

This fertility is incredible!

Soon, someone in the palace received the news and could no longer sit still.

"My offspring?" Ziqi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Su Yan shook her head, "It's not yours."

Ziqi frowned. "Besides me, who else are you with?"

Su Yan didn't hide anything, "Rong Ruo is a deep-sea merman. This baby is a fish with a Heavenly Talent."

"...Why not me?" A hint of madness was being suppressed in Ziqi's eyes.

Su Yan picked up a piece of golden Ganoderma lucidum and ate it. It tasted bitter, but as soon as it went down her throat, it turned into a warm current that flowed towards the fetus.

“Your Majesty, it’s not that I don’t want to have children. Tell me, what level of talent do you possess? Even when we’re intimate, you’ve suppressed most of your desires. How could you possibly have children under such circumstances?” Su Yan sighed.

Ziqi fell silent.

"To tell Your Majesty the truth, my fertility is on the growth side." After finishing the golden Ganoderma lucidum, Su Yan drank a pot of spiritual liquid.

According to Chairman Liu, each drop of this spiritual liquid is worth one high-grade crystal coin, and this whole pot is worth an unknown number of crystal coins.

Children are money-devouring beasts, no matter the world.

The madness in Ziqi's eyes vanished instantly. "You said your fertility can grow?"

Su Yan nodded, "When I am able to have children, I will go to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty's talent is also what my fertility needs."

The mystery has been solved!

Why does she attract one celestial-level male after another, yet never reciprocate with her true feelings?

"What is your purpose?" Ziqi's gaze became completely calm.

Su Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, when dealing with this kind of person, you can't be coy at all; telling the truth is the simplest way.

"Who knows until the very end?"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll know what I mean in a while."

The holy war has begun, and all the males who have reached the Spirit Rank must leave. Whether they like it or not, they will enter that battle.

"How long will His Majesty live?" Su Yan asked.

"Lifespan is related to innate profound knowledge, and it is currently over two thousand."

“I once only had half a sand-hour to live. What do you think I would do to survive?” Su Yan stretched, a deep drowsiness spreading through her body.

Ziqi looked at her and said seriously, "Anything is fine."

A faint, reassuring smile appeared on Su Yan's lips as she closed her eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ziqi gently touched her sleeping face. "What are you carrying on your back?"

……

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Su Yan's belly was big and round. And this pregnancy was obviously a false pregnancy. Su Yan always felt thirsty and drank bucket after bucket of spiritual liquid. Almost all of Zi Qi's private stash of spiritual liquid went into her belly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I'll give this child to you after it's born," Su Yan said to Zi Qi, who was reviewing official documents, patting her pregnant belly.

The vermilion brush in Ziqi's hand snapped with a "crack!"

“I’ll have three babies for you!” Su Yan immediately said obsequiously.

Ziqi instantly felt a sense of warmth and comfort. "Yan Yan, would you like something else to eat?"

"..." Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. When you're under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

"Your Majesty, all the troops that were sent to conquer the Dark Continent have withdrawn from Linhai Garden," Yu Yan reported respectfully as he entered the hall.

Su Yan looked at Yu Yan, a boy with a baby face. Every time she saw him, she felt like he was a well-behaved younger brother next door. But when she heard that he was more than four hundred years older than Zi Qi, she felt a sense of shock.

"Would you like to come with me to Linhai Garden?" Ziqi asked Su Yan.

Su Yan shook her head, "I'm giving birth today."

Ziqi's expression went out of control: "...Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"It will take another ten sand hours for it to truly emerge. There's no need for His Majesty to worry about it." Su Yan picked up the cup of spiritual liquid and gulped it down again.

"I'll be right back. Don't wander around. If you feel unwell, go to the back chambers, which can be used as a delivery room."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I won't stand on ceremony. Let my little daughter absorb some of Your Majesty's imperial aura," Su Yan said with a smile.

Ziqi teleported to her side and touched her face. "How did I fall for you, you heartless and wicked woman?"

Su Yan said in a serious tone, "It must be retribution! Your Majesty was too promiscuous before, which is why you met someone even more promiscuous like me to teach you how to be a decent human being."

"That's utter nonsense." Ziqi shook her head.

Ziqi left.

Su Yan finally lost her composure, clutching her back in pain, and shouted, "Someone, find a shaman!"

……

Linhaiyuan.

Pei Xuan kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Hao, who was fluttering around trying to catch a butterfly not far away.

Ming Linyuan also looked over and smiled, "I've seen you before in the West District."

“I know.” Pei Xuan recalled the time, “If I had known she had only faked her death…”

"Yes, her feigned death was incredibly cunning." He also suffered because of her faked death.

If he had waited a little longer, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
