Li Yifei pretended not to hear this complaint. It was clearly her who clung to him every time, yet now she was blaming others.
"Has the succession of the throne been properly arranged?"
"I've found a few honest old ministers to act as regents for now. But this imperial power, after all the twists and turns, will eventually fall to our child, or Zhuqing's child."
"Zhuqing is pregnant too?" Li Yifei's eyebrows shot up.
This sowing efficiency, even he had to admire himself.
"Yes." Zhu Zhuyun straightened up from Li Yifei's embrace, tidying her hair ruffled by the wind, her smile bright and dazzling.
"The imperial physician has checked our pulses. My dates match Zhuqing's; it's likely the Karma sown from the same batch."
She threw him a flirtatious wink, then turned and left the terrace with elegant steps.
Leaving Li Yifei standing alone in the wind.
Deep in his mind, the interface of the long-absent Peerless Beauties Chat Group flickered.
Huo Wu, who had recently joined the group, sent a photo.
It was a spacious and bright classroom, with sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the desks.
In the picture, several girls with exquisite features and graceful figures were gathered together, talking in low voices, a youthful and lively aura wafting from them.
[Flame Dancing: I looked through the chat history. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Shui Binger, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and even Teacher Liu Erlong—you've all been taken by the group owner, and you're even having children?]
[Flame Dancing: Just thinking about how in a few months, you'll all be sitting in the classroom with big bellies listening to lectures makes me unable to stop laughing. Hahaha! This scene is too beautiful to look at!]
The women in the photo still had slender figures, their waists so slim they could be encircled by a single hand, showing no signs of pregnancy.
Huo Wu's provocation immediately poked a hornet's nest.
[Is Jade Not Jade: Hehe, you dare to slack off in the Chat Group during class time? Student Huo Wu, I see you're quite bold. Do you believe that I'll give you special treatment during my practical combat class tomorrow?]
Liu Erlong's explosive temper could be smelled through the screen like gunpowder.
[Worlds Number One Princess: @Flame Dancing, stop being so sarcastic. Once my child is born, their cultivation will be a guaranteed Titled Douluo at minimum. You can just hide under your covers and be envious. Don't come begging me to share my experience then.]
Pride seeped through Ning Rongrong's words.
She had put in a tremendous amount of effort for this hard-won crystallization.
Every time Xiao Wu and the others were pulled away by Li Yifei to hone their card skills privately, she would always force her way in, calling it "joint progress."
Hard work paid off, and she finally got what she wanted.
[Bunny is So Cute: @Flame Dancing, you don't naively think that once you've entered this group, you can still escape, do you? The Big Bad Wolf loves eating little chili peppers like you the most.]
Xiao Wu sent a "smirking" emoji.
[Nine Deaths, One Life: @Flame Dancing, when the day comes that you're caught, we'll all grab our little stools and line up to eavesdrop on your room! No one is allowed to stop us!]
Ye Lingling was usually quiet and introverted, but after being in the group for a long time, her style had also been led astray by this bunch of female hooligans.
[Zhu Zhuyun: @Flame Dancing, this is my master's exclusive harem group. Since you've entered this door, don't even think about leaving in one piece. Everyone has to line up obediently to bear children for my master and expand his lineage.]
Huo Wu looked at the screen full of group messages, gritting her teeth in anger.
[Flame Dancing: Stop trying to scare me with big talk! I am a Genius of Blazing Academy. Who wants to have children for your master! I don't care about some guaranteed Titled Douluo cultivation!]
[Is Jade Not Jade: Stubborn, aren't you? You've got backbone. I hope that in tomorrow's practical combat class, your bones will be as hard as your mouth.]
[Worlds Number One Princess: Oh my, some people just won't learn until they're faced with the grim reality. Once you witness the group owner's methods, don't come crying and begging us to save a spot for you.]
While the group was chatting heatedly, a timid message suddenly popped up.
[Speed is Truth: Eh? Do I have to give birth too? I... I just joined the group, I don't know anything.]
Bai Chenxiang looked at the screen full of bold and aggressive words, and her whole being fell into a state of confusion.
She had only curiously clicked into a mysterious chat interface; how did it lead to having children?
[Speed is Truth: Um... excuse me, who exactly is the group owner? Why does everyone have to have children together? This isn't according to the rules...]
[Zhu Zhuyun: Rules? In this group, my master is the ultimate rule. Little sister, looking at how dazed you are, you're destined to be eaten up sooner or later.]
[Bunny is So Cute: Don't be afraid, little Speed sister. The Big Bad Wolf is a bit of a playboy, but he's very good to us. You'll understand later.]
Bai Chenxiang held her head, completely unable to understand this crazy World.
She was just an ordinary girl; how did she get caught up in such an absurd vortex for no reason?
The group's atmosphere had completely veered off course as a grand ideological education session for the newcomer began.
Li Yifei closed the chat interface and turned his gaze toward a secret room deep within the Supreme Council Building.
There, surging energy fluctuations were breaking through shackles, rising steadily.
Posey's Gene Primal Energy Method had made a Breakthrough to the God of War level.
Li Yifei's figure moved slightly as the Law of Space operated, allowing him to bypass layers of barriers and appear inside the secret room.
In the center of the secret room, Posey sat cross-legged, surrounded by a dense deep-blue halo.
That halo wasn't simple spirit power, but a higher form of energy, more destructive and vital, purified and reshaped through the Gene Primal Energy Method.
Her originally jade-white skin shimmered with a lustrous glow, and even her sea-blue hair fluttered without wind, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.
After a long time.
Posey opened her eyes, and deep within those azure pupils, profound starlight swirled.
"Congratulations on your Breakthrough."
Li Yifei stepped forward, his tone gentle.
Posey stood up and, without the slightest hesitation, threw herself into Li Yifei's arms, giving him a firm embrace.
"Thank you."
She buried her face in Li Yifei's broad shoulder, greedily breathing in his scent.
As the supreme ruler of Sea God Island, she was used to being high above and bearing the storms alone.
Only in front of this man could she shed all her disguises and become a flesh-and-blood woman again.
"It's just that compared to Bibi Dong, my progress is still a bit slow."
Posey looked up from his embrace, her tone laced with a hint of unwillingness.
As a fellow super Douluo, she possessed a pride in her bones that was second to none.
"This is already very fast." Li Yifei reached out to tidy the stray hairs by her ear, comforting her softly.
"In less than a year, you've crossed the levels of Warrior and General to reach the God of War level. At this rate, reaching the Peak of God of War won't take more than a few years. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, this is an extremely rare talent."
"That's because our foundation was already there."
Posey shook her head, her mind remaining absolutely clear. She was not lightheaded from the brief moment of joy.
