I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 23: Rewards Doubled, Cultivation Level SoarsHolding the soft Empress Liu Ruyan in his arms, Emperor Cao Xukun was bubbling with joy. Just as he was about to lean down and kiss her, a series of system notifications suddenly exploded in his mind, nearly making him jump up on the spot.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host! You have successfully conquered the Golden Luck female, Empress Liu Ruyan!]

[Special Identity Bonus: Mother of Destiny, all rewards doubled!]

[Rewards obtained: 200,000 System Points! Random Chaos-grade Divine Ability ”Invulnerability to All Laws”! Cultivation increased by two major realms! Obtained half of the Xiao Family’s luck!]

[Host’s current cultivation: Golden Core Mid-stage!]

[Current points: 264,000, Villain Value: 10,300]

”Holy crap! I’m rich! I’m really rich!”

Emperor Cao Xukun was so excited that he picked up Empress Liu Ruyan and spun her around, startling her into a cry of surprise as she hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck.

A world-destroying power erupted instantly from his dantian, and black Chaos Spiritual Power shot into the sky, piercing straight through the roof and forming a massive black vortex above the Cao residence. Every cultivator in Central Prefecture City felt this terrifying aura, and they all looked up toward the direction of the Cao residence, their faces changing drastically.

”Golden Core Mid-stage! I actually jumped straight from the peak of Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core Mid-stage!” Emperor Cao Xukun felt the surging power within his body and grinned from ear to ear. ”And the Chaos-grade Divine Ability, Invulnerability to All Laws! This is a divine skill that can negate all attacks from below the Golden Core stage and halve damage from below the Nascent Soul Stage! Who can defeat me now? Even if that brat Young Master Xiao Chen comes, I could just stand there and let him attack, and he wouldn’t be able to break my defense!”

What surprised him even more was a surge of Golden Luck, even greater than that of the Qingyun Sect, flowing in from the direction of the Xiao Family and merging into his own black luck. His cultivation speed doubled instantly, and even Empress Liu Ruyan, who was by his side, felt her own cultivation bottleneck loosen significantly.

[Ding! Detected that the Golden Luck female, Empress Liu Ruyan, has successfully conceived!]

[Estimated due date: Ten months later]

[Estimated offspring luck: Golden!]

”Another Golden baby!” Emperor Cao Xukun looked down at Empress Liu Ruyan’s lower abdomen, his eyes lighting up. ”This was a huge profit! One Empress Liu Ruyan, two offspring with Golden Luck, and doubled rewards—Young Master Xiao Chen really is my living Bodhisattva!”

Before Empress Liu Ruyan could react, she felt a faint warmth emanating from her lower abdomen. She subconsciously touched her belly, a look of disbelief appearing on her face: ”I... I’m pregnant?”

”Yes.” Emperor Cao Xukun gently set her down, carefully supporting her, and said tenderly, ”We have a child. From now on, just rest easy and focus on the pregnancy. You don’t need to worry about anything; I will take care of you and the child.”

Empress Liu Ruyan looked into his gentle eyes, and her heart felt a mix of complicated emotions. She had originally agreed to him only for the sake of her children, but now that she was truly pregnant with his child, she felt none of the resistance she had imagined; instead, there was a trace of inexplicable anticipation.

Just then, a loud ”clang” sounded from outside the door.

Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya was standing at the door holding the freshly brewed medicine for fetal protection. The bowl in her hands dropped to the ground and shattered into pieces. Her eyes widened as she looked at the two people embracing in the room, then at Empress Liu Ruyan’s slightly flushed cheeks and the way she subconsciously protected her lower abdomen. She froze completely.

The air instantly froze.

After three seconds, Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya finally found her voice, which was trembling: ”Mother... you... you two...”

Empress Liu Ruyan’s face turned bright red to the tips of her ears in an instant. She hurriedly pushed Emperor Cao Xukun away, lowered her head, not daring to look into her daughter’s eyes, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Emperor Cao Xukun, however, looked calm. He scratched his head and said with a smile, ”Uh... Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya, congratulations, you’re going to be a big sister.”

”Big sister your head!” Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya finally exploded, pointing at Emperor Cao Xukun’s nose and roaring, ”Emperor Cao Xukun! You animal! I treated you as a rival, but you actually want to be my father! Do you have no shame?!”

”You can’t put it that way.” Emperor Cao Xukun shrugged, looking innocent. ”Matters of the heart are about mutual consent. Your mother and I are truly in love. Besides, in the future, we can just handle our titles separately. You call me brother, and I’ll call you daughter. How harmonious.”

”Harmonious my foot!” Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya stamped her feet in anger. ”My mother is already pregnant with your child! And you still want to handle titles separately! This is incest!”

”What incest? There’s no blood relation.” Emperor Cao Xukun curled his lips. ”Besides, what’s wrong with your mother being with me? Isn’t it good for our families to become even closer? In the future, we’ll be one big family, all together. Wouldn’t that be great?”

”Pah! Who’s family with you!” Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya’s face turned purple with rage, and she turned to run away.

”Xiao Ya, don’t go.” Empress Liu Ruyan hurriedly grabbed her, her eyes red as she said, ”Mother is sorry to you. But Mother did this for you and Young Master Xiao Chen. Emperor Cao Xukun promised me that he wouldn’t hurt you. And... Mother is already pregnant with his child now. What’s done is done; it cannot be changed.”

Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya looked at her mother’s teary eyes, and most of her anger instantly dissipated. She knew how difficult it had been for her mother, having been a widow for fifteen years and raising her and Young Master Xiao Chen alone. Now, for their sake, she had even sacrificed her own reputation.

She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Emperor Cao Xukun: ”Fine, you win! I’m telling you, Emperor Cao Xukun, if you dare to treat my mother badly, even if I have to risk my life, I will castrate you!”

”Rest assured, rest assured, I will definitely treat her well.” Emperor Cao Xukun patted his chest in guarantee. ”In the future, the three of you will all be my treasures. I wouldn’t have enough time to cherish you, so why would I ever bully you?”

Just then, Su Wanqing and Lin Yueer also ran in. The commotion from Emperor Cao Xukun’s sudden surge in cultivation had been too great, and they had both been alarmed.

Seeing the scene in the room, the two of them instantly understood what was happening. Su Wanqing stepped forward, took Empress Liu Ruyan’s hand, and said gently, ”Madam Liu, welcome to the family. From now on, we are one family. If you need anything, just let us know.”

”That’s right, that’s right.” Lin Yueer also said with a smile, ”From now on, we’ll raise the babies together. With four babies growing up together, it’ll be so lively.”

Empress Liu Ruyan looked at the two kind young women, and the embarrassment and unease in her heart dissipated significantly. She nodded gently.

Imperial Concubine Xiao Ya watched this harmonious scene and rolled her eyes, but she did not object further.

Things had reached this point; besides accepting reality, what else could she do?

She couldn’t really kill Emperor Cao Xukun and leave her mother and unborn younger brother/sister widowed, could she?

She could only pray silently in her heart: Young Master Xiao Chen, oh Young Master Xiao Chen, you must absolutely not find out about this. Otherwise, with your explosive temper, you’d be so angry you’d ascend to immortality on the spot.

As for Emperor Cao Xukun, looking at the four women in the room, he felt wonderful.

Four women, four children, two with Golden Luck, two with purple luck. When these four children were born, wouldn’t his cultivation soar directly to the Nascent Soul Stage?

By then, let alone the Qingyun Sect, even if the Heavenly Dao Alliance came, he wouldn’t be afraid!
