Chapter 462: Chapter 231: Tai Chi Locust Evolution, South Huai in Peril, Strange Spirit Pill

”Ding, you have saved the landed territory of Pingshan County from distress, earning five hundred Clan Contribution Points.”

On the panel.

The Clan Contribution Points suddenly jumped from 1,840 to 2,340.

Fu Changsheng returned to Demon-Defying City with Jade Lotus, as she was pregnant and he did not continue hunting Tier Two Insect Generals.

Entered through the secret door.

Brother Fan came forward to greet them, seeing Jade Lotus following Fu Changsheng back, full of doubt.

Fu Changsheng saw his expression and knew he probably didn’t know about Jade Lotus’s pregnancy. He thought of saying something but noticed the white hair at Brother Fan’s temples, clearly from his constant handling of the clan’s miscellaneous affairs.

Swallowed his words.

Warmly said:

”Brother Fan, your wife is already pregnant, take good care of her.”

”Ah?”

Brother Fan was momentarily stunned.

After realizing it.

He was filled with excitement and joy:

”I... I’m going to be a father! I’m going to be a father!!”

Immediately stepped forward quickly to support Jade Lotus, for fear that she might bump or fall.

Jade Lotus saw this.

Felt a pang of guilt.

Previously, her husband always said he didn’t want to have children too early, and she thought her husband disliked children. Now it seemed it was for her to wholeheartedly focus on Foundation Establishment.

The news reached Fairy Lady Cai.

Fairy Lady Cai was overjoyed, and if it weren’t for the current insect tide, she would have set up several tables for celebration.

She held Jade Lotus’s hand, tears at the corners of her eyes:

”Previously, you two always said no to children, ten years passed without conceiving. I thought it was a leftover issue from your childhood health, saying you didn’t want children as an excuse. Ancestors bless you, you finally conceived.”

Usually.

She kept clear of the Lady of the House from afar.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fairy Lady Cai carefully advised on a series of precautions for protecting the pregnancy, and then couldn’t help but nag a little:

”You child, you’re pregnant, not even telling your mother, running off to Pingshan County, almost making a big mistake. This is the first child of the Patriarch’s direct lineage third generation, if it’s a boy, he will be the direct grandson, future heir to the Patriarch position.”

”Mom, stop talking about those things, father-in-law is still in his prime.”

Jade Lotus glanced around cautiously.

Afraid others might hear.

Fairy Lady Cai also realized she had misspoken, quickly changed the subject, looked at Jade Lotus’s belly with anticipation, the five children of the Patriarch had, Yaoyao and Brother Rong have already established their foundations, and even the adoptive son Fu Yongyi has as well, but her own son-in-law is still in the Qi Refining Stage.

Though he is the Chief Steward of the fief.

The title sounds grand, but like his uncle, he will spend his life serving the family, fearing the Crown Prince’s position won’t reach her son-in-law.

However.

Now with a grandson.

There is hope.

The Crown Prince’s position may not be her son-in-law’s, but as long as the grandson has good aptitude, the Crown Prince’s position is certain for him.

Fairy Lady Cai moved her gaze from Jade Lotus’s belly.

But saw her daughter looking gloomy:

”Being pregnant, you shouldn’t think too much. Jade Lotus, if you have any concerns, tell your mother.”

Jade Lotus bit her lip, then told Fairy Lady Cai everything about the insect tide attack on Pingshan County and her inaction.

Fairy Lady Cai, hearing this.

Felt a bit guilty too.

Thinking she won’t be able to protect her daughter for life, and her daughter had already established her foundation and will undoubtedly undertake missions in the future.

Immediately said:

”Jade Lotus, you’re still young, these experiences can be accumulated slowly. Take the time during your pregnancy to carefully look over the military books and Dharma combat experiences in the Clan’s Scripture Pavilion. As long as you study attentively, you will gradually keep up.”

”Mm”

Jade Lotus didn’t like conflict.

But now that she’s going to be a mother, a strong mother must set a good example for her child.

In the coming period.

Jade Lotus either spent time in the Scripture Pavilion or on the Martial Arts Arena, a drastic change from her past as a secluded girl who never ventured beyond the second gate.

That’s all for later, let’s not mention it now.

After Fu Changsheng returned to Demon-Defying City, he immediately sent a message to Grandmaster Yu. When Grandmaster Yu’s team returned, Fu Changsheng explained the situation of Pingshan County under a beast tide siege, concluding:

”Uncle Yu, the lands of Anyang County are only guarded by Stone and third brother. Once the insect tide attacks the mountain, I fear their lack of experience might lead to failure. We need you to return to Luofeng Mountain to oversee.”

”Alright, if you encounter any issues with controlling the array of Demon-Defying City, feel free to ask Yaoyao. Though she is lively, she is meticulous in the way of arrays. With Demon-Defying City in her hands, you don’t need to worry.”

Fearing delays might cause changes.

Grandmaster Yu returned overnight to Luofeng Mountain in Anyang County.

Fu Changsheng teamed up automatically with Fu Changli; their two squads cleared Tier Two Insect Generals around the fief for more than a month. The number of slain Tier Two Tai Chi Locusts alone almost reached eighty.

But the number of Tier Two Insect Generals not only did not decrease.

It kept increasing.

Furthermore.

Not just the Tier Two Insect Generals, even Tier One Tai Chi Locusts have become much smarter, much harder to handle than at the start. If left unchecked.

It’s feared that.

The Tai Chi Locusts will soon all evolve into Tier Two Insect Generals.

By then, once a Tier Three Insect King emerges, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Ninth-Grade Family Head convened a meeting again.

Fu Changsheng’s presence was summoned to the Council Hall of the Noble Family.

Glanced around.

Noticed the originally vacant seat for the Cao Family was now filled by Second Elder Cao, clearly indicating that Second Elder Cao had become the new Head of the Cao Family.
