48: Chapter 48 A Night Raid from the Eldest Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Late at night, Su Family courtyard.

A bright moon hung high, casting cold moonlight across the courtyard.

Wu Qin stood alone on the roof of the Su Family house, clutching the dragon slaying sword that had once struck terror into the hearts of countless enemies.

Yet at this moment, the eyes of this Valkyrie of Great Zhou did not hold her usual decisiveness. Instead, they betrayed a deep sense of inner conflict and resentment.

Through a crack in the window, she could clearly see the scene inside the main house.

Lin Qingxue held the newborn Su Hao, her face glowing with maternal radiance.

Yan Ling'er, with her large pregnant belly, was acting spoiled toward Su Feng, asking for spiritual fruits to eat.

Even the deep-scheming Ying Yue'e was leaning close to Su Feng, sewing small clothes with a look of happiness.

The Family was living in perfect harmony.

And what about her?

"Accept the bet, accept the loss... Since I lost, I must acknowledge it!"

Wu Qin bit her lip, her heart surging with waves of emotion.

She had established a Heavenly Dao contract!

If she didn't fulfill the bet and bear a child for Su Feng, the Heavenly Dao backlash would strike. Forget herself—the entire Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty would suffer along with her!

What made her feel even more of a crisis was that Great Qin's Ying Yue'e was already pregnant, and the relationship between Great Qin and the Su Family was growing closer by the day.

If she didn't take action, given Su Feng's current growth speed, it might not be long before the entire Southern Region's sky changed!

As the Grand Princess of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, Wu Qin had been indoctrinated since childhood that national interests outweighed personal ones.

"No!"

Wu Qin took a deep breath, a flash of determination in her eyes.

"This Princess even dares to charge through thousands of troops, why should I fear a mere man?!"

"Isn't it just having a child? If Ying Yue'e can do it, so can I! And I'll give birth to an even stronger one!"

...

Inside the study.

Su Feng was reviewing the ledgers sent back by Su Yuan, his brow slightly furrowed.

Although he had plundered many resources this time, the thought of two gold-swallowing beasts at home plus the rapid development of the Family power meant everything required money.

Even with secret methods used to accelerate growth, the old ghost's Secret Realm medicine garden couldn't produce large quantities of precious medicinal herbs in the short term.

If it weren't for the Great Qin Empire's deep foundations helping to raise Ying Yue'e's child, his current stock would have long since run out.

Ultimately, the Southern Region was too barren. Even the Nine Nether Pill Venerable inside Su Yan's ring couldn't stop shaking his head at this land.

"I've seen poor places, but never one this poor."

Fearing Su Feng had no point of reference, the Nine Nether Pill Venerable used the Divine Crystals from the Lingxiao Sect's Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave as an example.

Such Divine Crystals were divine treasures rarely seen in ten thousand years throughout the Southern Region.

But in the world the Nine Nether Pill Venerable came from, they were merely currency chips used for normal transactions.

"Creak—"

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Su Feng didn't look up. "Is that you, Linger? I'll come find you in a bit."

However, instead of the expected crisp voice, footsteps drew closer, carrying a unique, flame-like faint fragrance.

Su Feng looked up in confusion. In the next second, he was stunned.

Wu Qin stood before the desk.

She wasn't wearing her Crimson-Gold Armor. Instead, she had changed into a bright red wedding dress?

To be precise, it was a battle skirt modified from her Crimson-Gold Soft Armor.

It retained the heroic spirit of a Valkyrie while boldly revealing her long, beautiful legs and slender waist. Under the glow of the red candles, it radiated a heart-stopping wild beauty.

"You are..."

Su Feng put down the ledger, looking her up and down with a half-smile.

"Putting on a play for me?"

"What play!"

Being stared at by Su Feng like that, the courage Wu Qin had painstakingly gathered nearly vanished. Her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

She forced herself to maintain her aura, walked a few steps to Su Feng, then leaned her hands on the table, staring down at him.

"Su Feng! This Princess is not the type who can't afford to lose!"

"The bet clearly stated that I would bear a child for you! Now... This Princess has come to fulfill the contract!"

Su Feng suppressed a laugh, leaning back in his chair. "Oh? Is the Grand Princess... in a hurry?"

"Who's in a hurry!"

Wu Qin was exasperated—it was the embarrassment of having her inner thoughts exposed.

"I'm doing this for Great Zhou! For the Heavenly Dao oath! Don't flatter yourself!"

"Whatever Ying Yue'e has, I must have too! Whatever Lin Qingxue has, I must have too!"

"My True Phoenix Bloodline is not inferior to theirs! I can also bear a Supreme for you!"

Looking at the woman before him who was clearly trembling with shame yet still trying to act domineering, the smile in Su Feng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a spark of heat.

This contrast—a wild mare bowing her head, a Valkyrie seeking love—made his heart burn with desire.

The unhappiness last time was mainly because she wouldn't cooperate, but this time...

"You delivered yourself to my door."

Su Feng reached out and pulled her lean, powerful waist toward him, his voice turning deep and husky.

"Since you've come, don't even think about leaving."

"Who... who said I'm leaving! Since this Princess dared to come, I never thought of retreating... Mmph!"

Before Wu Qin could finish, Su Feng domineeringly blocked her red lips.

Boom!

The moment their bodies touched, the Bloodlines within them seemed to produce a mysterious chemical reaction.

The Pure Yang Sacred Body erupted fully like a blazing sun, instantly igniting the True Phoenix Bloodline inside Wu Qin.

"Roar—!"

"Chirp—!"

Above the Su Family courtyard, in the originally calm night sky, the phantom images of a Dragon and a Phoenix faintly appeared, entangling and chasing each other through the clouds, causing the Spiritual Qi of the entire city to vibrate.

Inside the study, spring was in full bloom.

This night was a brand new war for Wu Qin.

She had originally thought that as a cultivator with a powerful Physique, she could maintain the initiative even in this matter, sweeping through all directions like she did on the battlefield.

The result...

Before Su Feng's thoroughly tempered Yellow Emperors Scripture for Courting Women, this Valkyrie quickly lost her armor and surrendered.

From her initial refusal to lose and gritted-teeth persistence, to her later state of being as limp as mud.

She eventually fell completely into that storm-like conquest.

...

The next morning.

Sunlight spilled into the room.

Wu Qin curled up under the covers like a lazy kitten, her hair disheveled, with traces of last night's madness lingering on her exposed fragrant shoulders.

Where was the usual posture of her wielding a blade on horseback?

"Awake?"

Su Feng finished dressing, feeling refreshed, and glanced back.

Wu Qin quickly buried her head in the quilt, her voice muffled and carrying a hint of unprecedented shyness. "You... you go out first! Don't look at me!"

Too embarrassing!

Last night she actually... actually begged for mercy?

Su Feng smiled and didn't leave. Instead, he checked the System panel.

[Ding! S-rank target Wu Qin's good fortune not detected.]

"Tsk."

Su Feng shook his head, walked to the bedside, sat down, and reached out to ruffle Wu Qin's head.

"Stop hiding."

"I have some unfortunate news for you."

Wu Qin poked half her head out, her eyes confused. "What?"

"You didn't get pregnant."

Su Feng spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Your Bloodline is too strong; it didn't take this time."

"What?!"

Wu Qin sat up abruptly, not even caring that the quilt slipped down, her eyes wide.

"Not pregnant?! Then didn't I do all... that for nothing last night?!"

She had thrown her dignity away for this!

"I wouldn't say it was for nothing."

Su Feng pointed at the spiritual power surging within her. "Hasn't your cultivation loosened?"

Wu Qin sensed it. Indeed, her Late Golden Core Stage Bottleneck had unknowingly broken through!

Is this the benefit of the Pure Yang Sacred Body??

But... the bet hasn't been completed yet!

"No!"

Wu Qin bit her teeth, her stubborn streak rising again. She grabbed Su Feng's arm, her eyes full of persistence.

"If once isn't enough, then ten times! A hundred times!"

"Since this Princess lost, I will never go back on my word! Until I am pregnant!"
