Chapter 1949

AST 1949 - Qing Hanye was Pregnant!

The Divine Tribulation was finally here! 

Qing Shui knitted his brows . But very soon, he calmed down knowing that it shouldn’t be a problem for Yiye Jiange to make it through her Seventh Divine Grade Tribulation .

Yiye Jiange stood there as she looked at the continuously flashing thunders in the sky . She then turned around and gave Qing Shui a look that signaled him not to worry about her .

Qing Shui nodded and moved back a few steps .

After a while, the first thunder finally struck . It was a very thin lightning . The snow-white electricity immediately intruded Yiye Jiange’s body and was absorbed completely by her . The first few lightning were very prominent as they were the benefits given to those who had attempted their tribulations .

Yiye Jiange was traveling back and forth at the center of these flashes of lightning as she continuously took in them . Her body was also constantly being strengthened alongside her bones and blood . All of these boosts in strength were visible to the naked eyes .

This was also why warriors tended to look forward, but at the same time, were also afraid of their tribulations . Once they successfully made it through their tribulations, their strength would multiply by folds . Similarly, their bones and organs would also receive boosts up to the same amount . However, if they were to fail to make it through the tribulations, they could only suffer the fate of disappearing .  

As of now, the thunders in the sky were almost the thickness of a small thumb . However, there were still some thin thunders visible among them .  

The people tested with their tribulations were required to experience the Nine Heavenly Thunders within this region of thunders . The term “Nine Heavenly” was just a term . It would be more accurate to call it nine waves of thunders instead, with each being more intense than the previous ones . However, their durations were almost the same . The only thing which differed between each wave was their power .  

To face off against the tribulations, one could try to constantly avoid the lightning within the region of thunder . Avoid the thick ones while absorbing those thinner ones . The other method of resisting it would be using certain treasures that were capable of absorbing lightning . Those objects came in very rare quantities . Usually, they could only be used once . In other words, they could only absorb the lightning once .

Alternatively, there were also those that could be used for an unlimited amount of times, but could only absorb one lightning at a time . It didn’t matter if a person had brought one or a few of these things at once . The effect would just be the same .

As of now, Qing Shui had already possessed a very vast knowledge about the Heavenly Talismans . He knew how to draw the Lightning Avoidance Talisman . However, similar to what was mentioned above, it could only be used once . Right now, Yiye Jiange was already equipped with one of it . It would be pointless to bring any more than that .

Yiye Jiange was very agile . She was able to move around the region of thunders very easily . The white clothes she was wearing made her look even more like a lively fairy . Even Qing Shui was in a bit of a daze as he watched her movements . To think that such a beautiful woman could be his… As he thought back to just a moment ago, when he was still having fun on top of her, he couldn’t help but have a feeling of satisfaction which words couldn’t describe .

It was already the seventh waves of lightning . By now, the size of the lightning in the air was almost as thick as a child’s arm . Furthermore, they were also very concentrated as they rained down . There were already very few lightning that was the size of thumbs . Again and again, Yiye Jiange dodged away from the enormous lightning and landed on the places where the thinner lightning had struck to absorb their energy .  

After a period of time, Yiye Jiange’s body has gotten a lot more powerful than before, when she went through her tribulation . The rays of lightning that were the thickness of a thumb had all been absorbed by Yiye Jiange . Right before this wave of lightning had completely subsided, Yiye Jiange failed to dodge away from one of the thicker lightning .  

Qing Shui’s heart tightened immediately when he saw this scene . However, he realized that not only was Yiye Jiange fine but she had even managed to absorb the entire lightning .

Actually, Qing Shui’s honest opinion on the lightning was that they weren’t really that strong . He remembered the time when he was going through his Divine Tribulations . The first wave of the lightning which struck around him were already the size of an arm . Later on, the lightning had even become so big, it would be comparable to the waist of an adult man .  

The final two waves of lightning weren’t as thick as Qing Shui expected . The last one was only around an arm’s proportion . Yiye Jiange went head-to-head with it once . Though she was only able to barely take it, eventually, she managed to take it all in . It was until when the final lightning had finally subsided that Yiye Jiange was standing wobbly and was on the verge of collapsing .

Qing Shui quickly moved forward to grab her, “You mustn’t rest . Take this opportunity to stabilize your current strength . This will give you a lot of benefits in the future . ”

After Qing Shui had finished speaking, he poked her Lingtai Acupoint .

Yiye Jiange nodded and sat down on the grass field with her legs crossed . She began revolving her martial techniques and only opened her eyes after going through a great circulatory cycle . She no longer looked exhausted . While exposing her bright eyes and white teeth, the magnificent woman looked at Qing Shui, “I have broken through to the mid-stage of Seventh Divine Grade . ”

“Good . What a surprise . ”

Naturally, Qing Shui was able to gauge Yiye Jiange’s strength . It was slightly above ten thousand Dao Force, which was already considered quite decent .

“The sky is getting dark . Let’s head back . ” Yiye Jiange sheathed her sword and said while looking into the sky .

By the time he returned to his home, everyone had already eaten their dinner . Both Qing Shui and Yiye Jiange then casually had theirs . The little brat was already asleep . Qing Shui wanted to go to Yiye Jiange’s room to spend a night with her but got kicked out .

Qing Shui understood Yiye Jiange’s feelings . Facing such a magnanimous woman, even he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty . He shook his head as he walked into Qing Hanye’s room .

It took just a soft push and the door was already opened .

Qing Hanye was awake and was flipping through a book . When she saw Qing Shui, she smiled and greeted, “You are back!”

While talking, she went on to get a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qing Shui .

It was quite rare to have moonlight on nights like these . As it shone into her room, it made it seem a bit hazy .  

There were very few Light Stones in Qing Hanye’s room . Hence, compared to the other rooms, it seemed a bit darker in here . Even when she was flipping through her book, she was doing it under a Light Stone .

“What’s wrong? Is there anything you would like to talk with me?” Qing Shui asked as he sat next to her .

Qing Hanye blushed . However, she seemed very happy . She embraced Qing Shui’s neck and whispered in his ear, “I am pregnant with your child . ”

Qing Shui stunned and embraced her, “Are you happy?”

It had been a long time . Though Qing Shui wasn’t in a rush, he didn’t purposely try to control it . Initially, he thought that even after he left, Qing Hanye wouldn’t be pregnant . What went out of his expectation was that she still got pregnant eventually, which was still a great thing .

At the start, Qing Shui had planned to help her raise her strength . But now, no matter how he tried to convince her, she had stubbornly refused to do it . She was afraid that she would trigger the Divine Tribulations and hence, she said to only talk about it once she had given birth .

To the current Qing Hanye, nothing would be more important than the baby that was in her body .  

However, Qing Shui was aware that Qing Hanye had possessed a formidable body physique . Even if she were to raise her strength, it wouldn’t influence the baby . Besides, the baby was just one month old at the moment . Qing Shui had helped her examined her pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant .

At the moment, Qing Shui was really excited to see the child that would be born from the merging of Nine Yin and Nine Yang body physiques . He couldn’t help but think about what the baby would achieve in the future .

Qing Shui, who didn’t have to raise his strength, enjoyed the nurture from a beautiful woman with Qing Hanye in their room .

     ……

On the next day, Qing Shui had originally planned to travel to the palace . However, out of his expectation, the Patriarch of the Xia Clan had come alongside the Thirteenth Prince and Wen Jian . Qing Shui greeted the old man to the Imperial Cuisine Hall with a warm welcome .

“Master!” The Thirteenth Prince happily greeted Qing Shui .

But everything turned awkward when the Thirteenth Prince tried to greet Yiye Jiange and the other girls . Nevertheless, with a serious tone, the Thirteenth Prince still called them master’s mistresses .

Yiye Jiange and Qing Hanye were very calm . The remaining women, however, all felt a bit awkward .  

Qing Shui first helped both the old men cleanse the impurities within their body . He used the Five Elements Art and Force of Rebirth to help the old men remove the poisons from their body and trigger the activities of their aged organs . Just by doing these, half a day had already passed .  

The effect was quite decent . Both the old men’s lifespans were increased by almost seventy years . Though these were just some rough figures, if there were no accidents, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem .

Not only was their lifespan extended, they even experienced a huge chunk of boost in strength, which was an unexpected surprise to them .  

At noon, he prepared a huge banquet of food in the Imperial Cuisine Hall . Naturally, this also included a huge amount of wine . The two old men that were eating also had nothing but words of praise for the food prepared by him . Seeing that they really enjoyed it, Qing Shui gave the two old men some of the ingredients since he had quite a few in stock .

In the afternoon, Qing Shui assisted the Thirteenth Prince in stabilizing his strength . This was his own disciple . Once he was gone, the girls along with the Imperial Cuisine Hall would still be here . Hence, it was very important for his disciple to be very strong . He mustn’t be careless with this .  

The strength of the Thirteenth Prince had finally stabilized . It should roughly be about 18000 Dao Force, which was a reasonable strength . Qing Shui passed on as many formidable killer-moves as he knew about the Bear Form to him . He was the Ferocious Bear Battle God Inheritor . With his current strength, he could basically make it through the rest of his cultivation fairly easily .
