"I want to exchange my reproductive rights for Fan Qingyin's."

Before the last syllable of his sentence had even faded, a towering wave crashed against the rocks with tremendous force, shattering at Kong Yiche's feet.

The icy seawater and the rain that had soaked him all night intertwined, and the chill seeped into his heart.

Then he saw something suddenly go out in Jiang Yu's eyes, her lips trembled almost imperceptibly, and then she gave a cold smile.

"How confident are you?" Jiang Yu asked with some doubt. Even Moya was helpless; could a deadly poison from the mortal realm truly create a miracle?

“More than 80%.” Kong Yiche heard his own voice falter, but Jiang Yu’s brows didn’t even twitch. “This is only the probability of him recovering his health within ten years. If we don’t force time, the probability will be even higher.”

Seeing Jiang Yu fall silent, he suddenly felt a surge of panic, as if a giant hand were squeezing his heart. He uncontrollably explained, "Even if the Divine Envoy gradually recovers his health with his current body, and even if he takes the Fertility Fruit within ten years, it will be impossible for him to conceive..."

"Do you think I care about this?" Jiang Yu interrupted him coldly, and said softly, "I'd be willing to die right now as long as Qingyin can recover her health."

"Besides, Qingyin wouldn't mind." Jiang Yu thought of Qingyin's gentle and tolerant gaze whenever he looked at her, and her smile became warm: "He will support me no matter what decision I make."

Jiang Yu looked at Kong Yiche and saw him standing pitifully alone on the rugged, damp rocks. She could hardly feel any pity for him.

She understood that from his perspective, it was perfectly understandable that he had this opportunity to give an account to his family and his father.

Given the historical context, she shouldn't have criticized him. Nor should she have been so dramatic as to completely deny their relationship simply because he wanted to have children.

She saw his true heart.

Therefore, she could sense that he was in the most pain at that moment.

But she has the right to be angry and disappointed.

Indeed, how can one possibly achieve perfection in every aspect of life?

Jiang Yu didn't hesitate at all: "Then it's a deal."

Since it's a transaction, she also needs to ensure her own vested interests: "You can collect the fertility fruit when Qingyin has fully recovered."

After saying that, she stopped looking at Kong Yiche and turned away from the window.

Kong Yiche's lips could no longer curve upwards. He tried several times but couldn't manage even a weak smile. When he saw Jiang Yu leave without looking back, he could no longer hold on and knelt down on one knee.

His head was buried deep, and where no one could see, his usually gentle eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed down his face.

He desperately swallowed the blood in his mouth, his whole being seemingly becoming one with the silent reef.

When Jiang Yu turned around, he noticed a tall figure standing not far away.

That face, which had always been both righteous and wicked, was now silent, filled with heartache for her.

Upon meeting those clear, bright yellow eyes, Jiang Yu's carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly.

She wanted to smile at him, but tears streamed down her face first.

That single tear ignited Keslan's fury and rage. A tense atmosphere instantly enveloped the man, and he strode forward almost immediately.

"Don't go." Jiang Yu's voice was very soft, but it stopped the man's actions in an instant.

“He has no right to threaten you like that.” Keslan gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse. “He has no idea what he’s missed. He doesn’t deserve it. He deserves to die!”

"Even so, you still want to choose him?!" Keslan simply couldn't understand. Jiang Yu's heart was as hard as ice when she was being hard-hearted, yet she always softened at the wrong time.

Guys like this, who always put their family first, don't deserve to stand beside Jiang Yu.

Leaving aside lone wolves like him and Moya, both Lin Yi and Fan Qingyin have powerful families standing behind them...

“Everyone has a different perspective.” The person offering comfort became Jiang Yu, or perhaps she was convincing herself: “I’ve never considered him my first choice.”

"You shouldn't have chosen him in the first place!" Keslan was furious. "Are all the good men dead?! Why does it have to be him?!"

Jiang Yu lowered her head slightly, a strand of hair falling softly down her cheek in an extremely gentle arc. She quickly convinced herself and tried to stop Keslan.

"Please stop provoking him, okay?" She wiped away her tears and looked at Keslan earnestly: "He is our family, not our enemy."

"..." Keslan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his cheeks puffed out slightly from gritting his teeth. After a long while, he turned his head to the side, looked at the ground, and said, "Never mind."

"Anyway, I really don't need or want offspring, so I won't take up Fan Qingyin's spot." He said resentfully, "When Kong Yiche finds out, he'll probably want to strangle himself."

Jiang Yu looked at Keslan.

This is not the first time he has mentioned not wanting children.

Previously, it might have just been a way to increase her leverage and get her to choose him. Now, it's clearly to comfort her, hoping she won't dwell on the allocation of offspring quotas; his complete withdrawal is to reassure her.

It was clearly a small black dragon with scales all over its body and a soft belly.

Calling him an owl was really inappropriate before; the most fitting description would be an awkward yet soft-hearted, ruthless yet innocent "dragon".

The baby dragons born from the "evil dragon" would probably be super cute, she thought, looking at Keslan with another plan in mind.

But who knows if it will actually work out? Maybe we shouldn't tell this guy yet.

She had initially intended to let things take their course, but this guy was just too adorable, and her growing affection for him compelled her to try harder to win him over.

After all, human will can conquer nature.

She walked over to Keslan and hugged him.

The man was wearing a soft lounge robe, unusually in a warm beige color, which he must have changed into specially last night while sleeping with Jingyue.

It was like a ferocious beast plunging into a gentle cage, willingly being tamed. Jiang Yu was quite happy to be in this cage.

She hugged Keslan's lean and strong waist greedily: "But you're quite suitable to be a father, Jingyue likes you very much!"

Keslan blushed slightly, finding it incredible that there weren't many people in the world who weren't afraid of him; it seemed they were truly kindred spirits.

Unfortunately, his tendency to slip up at crucial moments becomes even more pronounced. The eldest brother, however, completely cemented his legendary status by delivering a single, perfectly timed joke:

"If you want, you can secretly call me 'Dad' a couple of times."

"..." Jiang Yu looked up at the big smart guy in front of her: "Next time you go back to the capital, why don't you go to the Jiang family and talk to my father about your proposal?"
