Volume 34, Chapter 485.1: Im Not Dead? (1/2)

Ju Zi was horrified. She turned around and kneeled once again. “No, Your Majesty. No, I can’t do that. How can I bear someone else’s child? I’m your Ju Zi, and will only be your Ju Zi. No, I don’t agree.”

Xu Tianran was a little stunned, and was also a little touched as he looked at Ju Zi. This was the first time she had dared to resist his orders ever since he had saved her. However, this resistance stroked his ego.

“If possible, no one will want his wife to have someone else’s kid. However, I have no choice. I can only do this to shut everyone up. I’ve even selected the candidate. He’s an authentic bearer of the royal blood lineage, and he’s a distant cousin of mine. Due to a mutation of his martial soul, he’s not even a soul master now, and he holds a very lowly position in the royal family. Apart from you, no one else must know about this. I’ll ask someone to teach you how to carry it out. After that, you’ll retrieve the ‘seedling’ from his body and implant it into your own body. After that, he’ll be killed. No one will know this secret then. Don’t worry, I am infertile. The child you bear will be ours. I’ll treat him like our biological son. When I turn a hundred years, he’ll inherit the throne. Perhaps we might rule the entire Douluo Continent by then.”

Ju Zi lifted her head and looked at Xu Tianran pitifully, “Your Majesty, is there no other way? I am really unwilling to do this.”

Xu Tianran’s expression turned cold and he said, “Alright, that’s final. Do you really think I want to do this? I feel heartache doing it too. Alright, with that sort of plan, you’ll be touched by another guy. Go and prepare first. I’ll get someone to teach you how to do it, and I’ll get the Imperial Physician to take a look at your body. These few days are the best time for you to be impregnated.”

“Yes.” Ju Zi shuddered a little and eventually agreed to his words. She kowtowed to him respectfully.

Xu Tianran’s expression turned gentler. He lifted her up for the third time and patted her back. “Silly girl, don’t think too much. I already told you that I’ll treat the child you bear as our own. Only I have the right to be his father. You can go now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Ju Zi indignantly made her way out after bowing to Xu Tianran.

After exiting, a heavy look gradually appeared on Ju Zi’s face. However, there was a cold intent that flashed across her eyes.

Xu Tianran, why didn’t I realize that I’ll only be your pawn? Even the closest pawn is still a pawn.

……

When Huo Yuhao regained consciousness, he was stunned to discover that he was in a clean room. The room also looked very familiar to him. Everything around him was familiar, including the aura.

Where am I? He was a little puzzled.

Everything that had happened earlier replayed itself in his memories.

Didn’t I meet the Darkness Holy Dragon and Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao? Wasn’t I stabbed nine times because of his threat? But why don’t I feel any pain?

He subconsciously touched his body, and was astonished to discover that there weren’t any wounds at all. He then circulated his soul power. His body drifted up above his bed, and there were suddenly strong soul power undulations in the room.

This…

Huo Yuhao was shocked as he sensed everything. He discovered that this soul power was like a strong wave. Just by circulating it slightly, it was actually surging. What’s going on? Where exactly am I?

“Bang!” The door opened. A figure rushed in. Wasn’t she Nan Qiuqiu?

When she saw Huo Yuhao sitting up, Nan Qiuqiu was delighted. “Ah, Yuhao, you’re awake. You’re finally awake. What happened exactly!? You were unconscious for seven days.”

Huo Yuhao looked at her and was shocked as he asked, “Am, am I really alive?”

Nan Qiuqiu took a few steps forward and pinched his arm with force.

“Aiyo, what are you doing?” Huo Yuhao screamed in pain.

“If you know that it’s painful, it obviously means that you aren’t in a dream. Of course you aren’t dead.” Nan Qiuqiu snapped.

Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly. “It’s already not easy for me to come back alive, but you still pinched me so hard. Are you still human?”
