An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 159

Yang Chen could feel the weak life signs of the fetus in Empress Yan’s abdomen. At the time in the cave, his cultivation had only just reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Back then, he had merely refined the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, without yet fusing with the Dragon Spine, nor had he embarked on the path of body cultivation. As for Empress Yan, she had just reconstructed her physical body and barely had any cultivation.

So, the fetus was only an ordinary fetus. If it were a normal ten-month pregnancy, there would naturally be no issues. However, Empress Yan had sealed the fetus’s growth. This greatly increased the demands on the fetus’s constitution.

“You, how do you plan to strengthen her bloodline?” Feeling Yang Chen’s hand moving on her abdomen, Empress Yan’s heartbeat quickened, and she couldn’t help but ask.

Yang Chen opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said, “My physique has greatly improved compared to the time in the cave! Back then, although I had refined the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, I hadn’t fully merged with it. But now, my physique is incomparable to what it was then!”

Hearing Yang Chen mention the time in the cave, Empress Yan couldn’t help but recall that scene. Yang Chen behind her. Doing that to her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Alright, alright, just get to the point!” Empress Yan said impatiently.

“It’s simple: I just need to infuse my essence blood into the fetus, and that will strengthen her bloodline!”

Upon hearing this, Empress Yan immediately frowned.

“That’s your solution? Do you know how fragile a fetus’s life is? If I’m not mistaken, you practice body cultivation, and your physical body has reached the Soul Transformation Realm! A single drop of your essence blood contains enough energy to melt a Golden Core cultivator! How could a fetus withstand that?” Empress Yan replied, clearly displeased.

She had expected Yang Chen to come up with a better idea, but instead, it was this absurd suggestion. She immediately swatted his hand away from her abdomen.

“Senior Empress Yan, you don’t understand! While it’s true that my essence blood contains immense energy, you can remove the excess energy and leave only the essence of the bloodline! This bloodline essence will enhance the fetus’s constitution! Moreover, since the fetus carries my bloodline, it will not reject this essence at all!” Yang Chen explained seriously.

The blood of the Primordial Divine Dragon had endless uses. One drop of essence blood could enhance Feng Yunhai’s potential and activate his Ice Phoenix bloodline. It could also help Linglong’s True Dragon Soul reconstruct her dragon body.

The fetus, being of his own bloodline, could naturally improve its constitution, and there would be no need for any refining—it would fuse directly.

“Really? Can the bloodline essence in just one drop of your essence blood be that effective?” Empress Yan’s beautiful eyes were still filled with doubt and disbelief.

“Senior Empress Yan, as a powerful fire cultivator, you must have a deep understanding of bloodlines and various constitutions! You can feel it for yourself!”

As Yang Chen spoke, he immediately produced a drop of essence blood. The essence blood was golden, suspended at his fingertip, like a drop of golden crystal. It radiated a golden glow, and a faint golden dragon shadow coiled around it, occasionally letting out a low dragon’s roar.

This sight left Empress Yan stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the golden essence blood suspended at Yang Chen’s fingertip.

Her bewitching face was full of shock.

Although it was just a drop of essence blood, the divine pressure it emitted far surpassed any constitution she had ever encountered. Moreover, a golden dragon shadow circled above the blood.

“Are you of the True Dragon Blood?” After a long time, Empress Yan finally spoke, but her voice was full of uncertainty.

“True Dragon? I don’t know, maybe!”

Having fused with the spine of the Primordial Divine Dragon, Yang Chen couldn’t be considered a pure-blooded dragon, but his physique was no weaker than a so-called True Dragon.

After all, Linglong was a pure-blooded True Dragon in her previous life, yet she was still extremely wary of his bloodline pressure.

Empress Yan took the golden essence blood from Yang Chen’s fingertip and stared at it deeply.

Finally, she nodded and said, “Fine, let’s try it your way! But if anything happens to the fetus, Yang Chen, I won’t let you off!” Empress Yan said coldly.

She then sat down cross-legged and began to refine the golden essence blood.

As a once-powerful fire cultivator, Empress Yan naturally had considered Yang Chen’s words and believed them to some extent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t take this risk.

The golden essence blood was refined within her body, and dragon roars echoed. A golden dragon shadow coiled around her body. Moments later, the golden dragon shadow entered Empress Yan’s body.

An hour later, Empress Yan opened her eyes, unable to hide the joy in her gaze.

“Did it work?” Yang Chen asked from the side.

“Yes.” Empress Yan nodded slightly and stood up.

A golden light flickered faintly in her abdomen.

Yang Chen placed his hand on it.

Empress Yan instinctively wanted to avoid him, but for some reason, she hesitated and ultimately didn’t move away, allowing him to place his hand on her abdomen.

Feeling the strong vitality of the fetus, Yang Chen knew that it had indeed worked. The bloodline essence from his essence blood had been absorbed by the fetus. Now, the child had a trace of the Divine Dragon bloodline.

Although it was thin, the constitution of the fetus had significantly improved.

“Thank you!” Empress Yan’s red lips parted slightly.

Yang Chen, however, responded seriously, “Senior Empress Yan, there’s no need for thanks! After all, this is my child, and as her father, I should contribute!”

As he spoke, Yang Chen gently stroked Empress Yan’s flat abdomen.

Empress Yan’s delicate body trembled, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face. Her true energy fluctuated slightly, but she didn’t push Yang Chen away.

Seeing this, Yang Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

He then produced ten more drops of golden essence blood.

“What are you doing?” Empress Yan asked, puzzled.

“Senior Empress Yan, I know you’re still angry about what happened in the cave. But this is also my child, and I must take responsibility for her! These ten drops of essence blood can be refined again at different stages of her growth, and their essence can be infused into her bloodline! Also, by applying the blood to your eyes, you’ll gain the ability to see through all things, similar to my Divine Dragon Golden Eyes! Consider this a small token of compensation from me!” Yang Chen spoke in a heavy tone.

But to Empress Yan, his words caused her heart to tremble slightly.

She couldn’t help but glance deeply at Yang Chen, then at her own abdomen.

Finally, she whispered, “You … from now on, don’t call me Senior Empress Yan anymore!”
