The Demon Emperor Got Pregnant by Me - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

There was me in the Secret Realm, my face flushed red from his relentless pestering.

There was me in the Demon Emperor’s Palace, swearing and cursing while he tossed me about.

And there was me wearing Hu Lai’s face, being called a scumbag by him.

The further I went, the brighter his mood became, until even the clouds turned iridescent.

I walked forward slowly, my heart sinking with every step.

One cloud was pitch black.

Inside that black cloud, Zhi Yan was telling a shadow in a mirror that he wanted to kill me.

Zhi Yan had said that on purpose to deceive the Shadow.

He wanted the Shadow to believe that I was insignificant to him.

But the Shadow had discovered the truth anyway.

And the truth was…

“He actually likes you this much.” The Shadow transformed into a serpent, standing before Zhi Yan’s Heart Gate.

“To be honest, I’m surprised too.”

Never mind him-I was absolutely stunned myself.

This little tsundere never showed it at all usually!

“Make a choice.” The Shadow held up a red fruit.

“This fruit can break the curse on Zhi Yan, ensuring he never has to give birth again.”

“But this fruit is already bound to my Divine Soul. If he eats it, he will be fused with me for the rest of his life, and I will exist within his consciousness forever.”

“Two at once-you don’t mind, do you?”

The Shadow looked at me with a smile that was more than a little lecherous.

I didn’t know what to do. This wasn’t the kind of thing I should be choosing.

“Zhi Yan,” I called out to him within his heart.

“What do you think?”

Zhi Yan didn’t answer me.

In the next instant, however, Zhi Yan appeared beside me like a descending god. With a single motion, he crushed the red fruit into powder.

The Shadow let out a blood-curdling scream and vanished completely within his palm.

I stared at him in shock.

“Who said I wasn’t willing to have your children?”

Zhi Yan scolded me angrily.

“You have a weak constitution; giving birth would damage your body. Why would this even be a choice?”

I was dumbfounded.

He grabbed the back of my neck and pressed a forceful kiss onto my lips.

He had forgotten that we were still within his Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

The moment our souls touched, I felt like I was about to ascend.

It felt like five hundred fireworks had exploded in my brain at once.

It was… intense.

But the truly intense days were still ahead.

After the children hatched, Zhi Yan completely let himself go.

His abs were back, his spirit was restored, and his ‘equipment’ was back in perfect working order.

Every day, I lay in the Demon Emperor’s Palace like a useless person, watching seven or eight little snakes slithering around my feet.

Each of them had a tiny, iridescent flower on their head. They were incredibly cute, and they scrambled to call me “Daddy” in a chorus of voices.

Wait, I wasn’t the one who gave birth. Why was I the one who felt exhausted every single day?

I questioned my life choices daily.

In the evening, Zhi Yan returned, looking travel-worn but energized.

He carried me off to have a petal bath.

As the water rippled, I clung to him like a true Dodder Flower.

I couldn’t stop myself from pleading for mercy.

“There are too many children.”

“You don’t have to give birth to them, and you don’t have to raise them. What are you afraid of?”

Zhi Yan whispered into my ear with a hint of a smile.

“I’m afraid of you,” I added, my survival instinct kicking in.

“I’m afraid you’ll get too tired from laying eggs.”

“I’m a grown man. What’s a few eggs?”

“Then how many do you want to have?” I looked at him, on the verge of a breakdown.

“Let’s start with a hundred.”

“Impressive.”

“Typical you.”
