An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 156

“Yes.” After a bout of nausea, Feng Yuwan raised her head and looked directly at Zhan Lingshuang. For some reason, a slight sense of pride welled up in her heart.

“It’s been a while now. Lingshuang, you’re going to be a grandmaster soon! So, separating us? That’s impossible.”

“You! Damn it!”

Zhan Lingshuang clenched her fists tightly, her teeth grinding in frustration.

That disobedient Chen’er! He already had several children with the women in Xuantian Sect, and now even Feng Yuwan was pregnant. Disobedient disciple, disobedient disciple!

I wasn’t prepared for this at all, yet I’ve suddenly become a grandmother to several!

Yang Chen left the City Lord’s Mansion and arrived at a courtyard in the Ice and Snow City.

As he walked in, a seductive figure dressed in a red robe quietly stood before him. A gentle breeze blew by, tightly wrapping the red robe around her body, accentuating her alluring figure. The robe only reached her knees, leaving a pair of snow-white legs exposed to the air. Around her waist was a belt, outlining her slim, delicate waist.

Yang Chen stood silently behind her, his mind drifting back to the scene in the cave. Back then, it was also this enchanting figure standing before him. But at that time, this figure was still immature. Now, however, she had already reached the Soul Transformation Realm.

“Hmph, have you seen enough?” Empress Yan let out a cold snort.

“Empress Yan, it’s been several years since we parted at the Yan Mountain Range, and you’re still as stunning as ever! But last time we met in such a rush, I was hoping to catch up with you. Why did you leave without a word?” Yang Chen walked forward with a playful smile.

“Heh!” Empress Yan turned around, her alluring and charming face filled with disdain. “If I hadn’t left, should I have stayed and waited for your master to kill me?”

“Then why did you invite me here this time, Empress Yan? Aren’t you worried I’ll tell my master and have her quietly follow along?” Yang Chen asked.

“If you had brought your master, you wouldn’t be seeing me right now! Though your master has reached the Void Refinement Realm, her control over the divine soul is far inferior to mine!”

“True, Empress Yan, you were once a powerful fire cultivator!” Yang Chen nodded. He had no doubt about this.

After all, in the novel, Empress Yan’s true strength far exceeded the Void Refinement Realm. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to display Soul Transformation Realm power with just a remnant soul.

“Yang Chen, I’ve come to discuss something with you this time.” Empress Yan said seriously: “You’ve now reached the Soul Transformation Realm and can be considered one of the top cultivators in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But the cultivation environment of the Northern Spiritual Realm won’t be of much help to you anymore. Are you interested in heading to Central Continent?”

“Central Continent?” Yang Chen frowned.

He had heard about Central Continent more than once recently. And he knew as well. The Northern Spiritual Realm was indeed a barren and remote region. The land of Central Continent was the most spectacular part of this world. In the future, he would indeed go to Central Continent. But why would Empress Yan want him to go there?

This woman must have some ulterior motive, right?

Sensing the doubt in Yang Chen’s eyes, Empress Yan explained: “I also cultivated in Central Continent back then. The Earth Core Red Fire was obtained from a fire domain there. At that time, aside from the Earth Core Red Fire, the fire domain also formed a piece of Fire Spirit Essence. However, the Fire Spirit Essence wasn’t fully formed back then, so I didn’t take it. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and it should be fully formed. Although the Fire Spirit Essence is still in that fire domain, it constantly moves around. With my current cultivation, I can’t pinpoint its exact location. That’s why I need your eyes.”

“My eyes?” Yang Chen was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes emitted a golden glow as he prepared to scan Empress Yan. To see if she had lost weight in recent times, so that he, as an old acquaintance, could put his mind at ease.

But Empress Yan already knew about the power of Yang Chen’s Golden Eyesfrom their time in the magma world.

She immediately dodged with a swift move.

“Yang Chen, show some respect to me! Do you think I’m your master, someone you can just stare at whenever you like?” As she said this, a mocking smile appeared on Empress Yan’s lips. “I have to admit, your master does have quite a nice figure. In that magma world, she flaunted it right in front of you. Haha, you’re quite the lucky one! The relationship between you two master and disciple, tsk tsk!”

“What!?” Hearing Empress Yan’s sarcastic remarks, Yang Chen was completely shocked. Back in the magma world, after his master had collected the Profound Deep Cold Flame … Empress Yan hadn’t left back then? Did she witness that scene?

Yang Chen’s pupils widened in disbelief.

Seeing the shock on his face, Empress Yan couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly: “I’ve cultivated the way of fire for ten thousand years, and with the Earth Core Red Fire in my possession, I can hide in magma without being detected. Even with your Golden Eyes, you wouldn’t have been able to spot me! Fortunately, I didn’t leave back then! If I had, I wouldn’t have witnessed such a wonderful scene! But forget about me. You, on the other hand, really got an eyeful, didn’t you?”

“You—stop talking nonsense!” Yang Chen shouted angrily.

“Haha, are you upset? Are you planning to kill me to keep me quiet?”

Empress Yan seemed to be using this incident to take advantage of the situation, ridiculing him even more.

Yang Chen could only change the topic: “Let’s get back to business, Empress Yan! You need my Golden Eyes to help you find the Fire Spirit Essence. I can help, but what’s in it for me?”

Empress Yan stopped laughing and became serious again. “I can give you half of the Fire Spirit Essence! You’re a fire cultivator too. If you absorb the Fire Spirit Essence, it will help you as much as fusing with a new kind of Primordial fire.”

“Half of the Fire Spirit Essence?” Yang Chen pondered.

He knew the value of such a thing. Fire Spirit Essence was a sacred treasure coveted by fire attribute cultivators, its value even rivaling the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice obtained by Feng Yuwan.

Since Empress Yan was once a mighty fire cultivator, any heavenly treasure that lingered in her memory would undoubtedly be extraordinary. However, the Fire Spirit Essence wasn’t of great importance to him personally.

“Empress Yan, while the Fire Spirit Essence is valuable, it doesn’t hold much significance for me. If it’s just half of the Fire Spirit Essence, it might not be worth traveling all the way to Central Continent.”
