Supreme Emptiness

No.

Where does Liu Li have maternal love?

She's not even pregnant!

Isn't this self-delusion?

If the truth comes out, Liu Li would be utterly embarrassed, her social status would die on the spot, right?

"What are you laughing at?"

Liu Li coldly glared at her, "You heartless thing!"

"Your son is about to be aborted, and you're still laughing?"

Pfft—

Jiang Fan couldn't hold back and laughed again, "How do you know it's a son?"

"What if it's a daughter?"

Liu Li snorted, "I already asked long ago."

"If your belly is pointed, it's more likely a daughter, if it's round, it's more likely a boy."

"Look at my belly, it's perfectly round, absolutely a son!"

Her delicate face naturally showed a warm expression.

Realizing this, she straightened her face and snorted softly:

"Why ask so many questions?"

"Even if it is a son, he will take my last name."

"Don't think about carrying on the Jiang family's bloodline!"

Jiang Fan forced back his laughter.

With a serious expression, he said:

"Alright, then I'll try my best to take up the responsibility of a father."

"I hope our child can be born safe and sound."

Liu Li turned her head away.

She snorted from her nostrils, but didn't resist as much as before.

After all, Jiang Fan was the child's biological father.

She also hoped her flesh and blood could have a proper home.

Seeing the two reach an agreement.

The Demon Emperor's worries settled, and he said, "Jiang Fan, from today on you will live in Liu Li Palace."

"Without my permission, you are not to leave even half a step."

"If you cause any trouble, you know what will happen."

This place was the Demon Emperor's harem.

Thirty-six concubines lived here, each one a rare beauty among the Demon Race.

Especially Yun Xia next door.

She was an existence of immortal beauty.

He didn't want to hear any news of his concubines being taken advantage of by Jiang Fan.

If that really happened.

Even if it resulted in his daughter's scandal, he would tear Jiang Fan to pieces!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Fan would have to be crazy to covet the Demon Emperor's concubines.

That was a man's bottom line.

Not to be touched.

"Alright, you two talk, let me know if you need anything."

The Demon Emperor tapped his feet and flew away.

Leaving Jiang Fan and Liu Li in awkward silence.

Eventually, Jiang Fan spoke first, "There are many rooms in the palace, right?"

Liu Li snorted, "Of course!"

"Why, are you disappointed?"

"Did you think there was only one room, and we would have to share a bed?"

This guy!

What did she think of me?

Jiang Fan angrily said, "I need to cultivate!"

"Who wants to touch you?"

With that, he entered the palace alone.

He found that there were indeed many stone rooms of various sizes inside the palace.

Most of them were secret chambers, perfect for cultivating.

He decisively chose a large secret chamber, entered, and closed the stone door behind him.

Leaving Liu Li standing awkwardly.

So Jiang Fan just wanted a secret chamber for solitary cultivation!

Not at all what she had imagined.

Liu Li blushed with embarrassment, clenched her fists, and pounded on the palace door.

"Bastard!"

"Acting all serious."

"Have you forgotten how wildly you vented on me that night?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

If not for her father's reputation, she would have just cut down this jerk with her sword.

"Just you wait!"

With that, she angrily returned to her room.

Little did she know.

Up on a drifting cloud.

The Demon Emperor's presence finally dissipated.

He had been observing Jiang Fan.

Fearing that once he left, Jiang Fan might start acting wildly in his harem.

Seeing him go to cultivate obediently, with no extra moves, he finally relaxed.

In the secret chamber.

Jiang Fan eagerly took out Lu Liang's Thunder Pill.

Feeling the powerful lightning force within.

His eyes were full of desire.

"The power of lightning I've been longing for!"

Jiang Fan immediately began to absorb it.

As a thread of lightning entered his body, the expected painful sting of electrical burn didn't come.

On the contrary, after Lu Liang's refining, the thread of lightning was very gentle.

Jiang Fan absorbed it easily and comfortably.

Soon.

The Thunder Pill in his palm had only one last arc left.

As Jiang Fan absorbed it, the lightning power Lu Liang had painstakingly accumulated became Jiang Fan's asset.

Feeling double the lightning power in his body compared to before.

Jiang Fan excitedly took out Lei Zhenhai's incomplete Thunder Extension Order.

On it were recorded the first two layers of "Heavenly Thunder Six Parts·Cloud Shadow."

Mastering the First Layer to perfection could transform into pale blue lightning and move to any point within a hundred feet.

Mastering the Second Layer to perfection could ride the Purple Cloud Thunderbolt and move to any point within a thousand feet.

Previously, Jiang Fan had perfected the First Layer but was limited by his lightning power, unable to advance.

Now he could finally practice the Second Layer.

He wondered whether, with the Void Flow Thunder Force, it could also double the range like the First Layer.

Meanwhile.

In the Hundred Fragrance Palace of the harem.

"Yun Xia, why are you coming to my sleeping hall?"

In the bath pool of the hall.

Concubine Yunxia soaked in the milky white Spiritual Liquid Pool, feeling extremely comfortable.

She softly said, "Liu Li Palace is right next door."

"The reunion of the couple is always more exciting, I can't stand their romantic encounters."

Hundred Fragrance Concubine, sitting by the pool, laughed and scolded through her sleeve:

"You've become so bold, to say such shameless things after just one trip out."

Concubine Yunxia was momentarily stunned.

Indeed.

How did she dare say such things before?

She rubbed her temples and sighed, "Being near red makes you red, being near ink makes you black."

Ever since she met Jiang Fan, she had become increasingly irritable.

Regarding matters between men and women, she seemed a bit more forward now.

Fortunately, she wouldn't have to encounter Jiang Fan for a long time.

Hundred Fragrance Concubine didn't understand, was Yunxia getting darker from being near someone?

She sighed softly, "You can stay at my place, I don't mind."

"But you can't keep hiding from His Majesty."

"You can't hide every time you come back, can you?"

Concubine Yunxia said nothing.

Avoiding Jiang Fan and Liu Li was an excuse.

What she really wanted to avoid was the Demon Emperor.

"I'll hide as long as I can, dear sister, let me sleep here one more night."

"With you here, His Majesty won't come looking for me."

Concubine Yunxia coyly pleaded.

Hundred Fragrance Concubine said helplessly, "You never listen to advice."

"You're already married to His Majesty, what else are you thinking?"

"Just this one night."

Concubine Yunxia then smiled, "Then join me."

"Let's bathe together."

Hundred Fragrance Concubine glared at her, "Shameless."

"You go first, I'll have a maid bring some incense for you."

With that, she got up and left.

Soon.

A maid awkwardly carried a basket full of dried flower petals.

As she scattered the petals, she accidentally spilled half the basket.

The maid was startled.

She quickly knelt down and begged, "Please forgive me, Concubine Yunxia, I know I was wrong."

Concubine Yunxia said gently, "It's alright, you may leave."

The maid felt greatly relieved, thinking, "They say Concubine Yunxia is the gentlest."

"It's true indeed."

Once the maid left.

Concubine Yunxia lay comfortably in the Spirit Pond, feeling more relaxed than ever.

Ever since she met Jiang Fan, her mood had gotten worse day by day.

That guy always managed to get on her nerves, turning her from a praised gentle concubine into a shrew.

He was simply toxic!

"Hmm~ It's so nice not having Jiang Fan around!"

Concubine Yunxia picked up a rose petal and kissed it lightly.

Her face showed a relaxed smile.

But the next moment.

Her expression froze.

She saw a twisted bolt of Purple Cloud Thunderbolt streak from the sky.

It landed right next to the Spirit Pond.

A young figure, covered in dust, climbed up and cursed:

"This Purple Cloud Thunder is so hard to control!"

He patted the dust off himself.

Suddenly feeling eyes upon him.

He turned his head and saw a perfect figure, partly obscured, in the bath pool.

And a pair of beautiful eyes staring in surprise and confusion.
