61: Let Gao Lan get pregnant with my baby
Cao Nie's gaze shifted slightly, scanning Heavenly Evolution Emperor indifferently.
He could naturally hear the unconcealed smugness in the other party's tone.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good fortune."
Cao Nie smiled, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yan and his wife.
As expected of a Son of Fortune, to even be able to win over the Supreme Void Profound Sect's future young sect master, he was indeed much stronger than that kid Ling Jiu.
A gulping sound entered Cao Nie's ears.
His eye twitched slightly, and he caught a glimpse of Cao An beside him staring intently at Crown Prince Lin Yan, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
That drooling expression sent shivers down his spine.
Cao Nie subtly raised his foot and stomped hard on Cao An's foot.
Cao An snapped back to attention, quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, and instantly adopted a serious demeanor, standing upright.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Heavenly Evolution Emperor and Lin Yan.
Both of them thought Cao An was coveting Gao Lan and snorted coldly.
"[Detecting Daughter of Fortune Gao Lan, please choose as follows:]"
"[Option One: Steal her in one word, steal her in two words, steal his in three words. Reward: Heavenly Craft Divine Body origin.]"
"[Option Two: Steal her after she loses her innocence. Reward: Ten green hats.]"
"[Option Three: Steal her at the wedding ceremony. Reward: Ten million spirit crystals.]"
Option Two was out, Cao Nie secretly shook his head.
He preferred mature beautiful women and wasn't interested in being cuckolded.
As for Option Three...
Ten million spirit crystals were far inferior compared to the Heavenly Craft Divine Body.
"System, I choose one."
"[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Craft Divine Body origin. After fusion, you will naturally be able to perceive the origin of materials, and possess Heavenly Craft Dao Rhyme when refining artifacts.]"
This friendly exchange ended hastily due to Cao An's unbearable performance.
The two people and one dog were arranged in the Dragon Gate Inn, specifically for guests of the Tianyan Immortal Dynasty.
Due to his status and cultivation, a separate courtyard was arranged for Cao Nie.
As night fell, candlelight flickered in the room.
Cao Nie, one person, and one dog sat around the table, his fingertips lightly tapping the tabletop: "Black Emperor, how was the reconnaissance?"
During the day, he had sensed the fleeting killing intent in Heavenly Evolution Emperor's eyes.
That battle had long spread throughout the Azure Vast Dao Domain, and his Gui Xu strength was known to all.
Now he just wanted to see what tricks the other party would play.
Black Emperor's ears twitched slightly, then he suddenly opened his eyes: "Master, there's movement."
"What's the situation?" Cao Nie's eyes narrowed.
Black Emperor formed a seal with his front paws, and a faint light emanated from his glabella: "Master, please listen."
The person and the dog sat facing each other, spiritual light converging at their glabella, outlining mysterious Dao patterns in the void.
In an instant, the sounds of a secret conversation from the Imperial Study came clearly, every word audible:
"I never thought you would possess your own son's body."
One voice angrily said: "If it weren't for Xia Emperor, I wouldn't have reached this point, and that damned Cao Nie, I must tear him to pieces."
"To make you willing to exhaust the national treasury and travel hundreds of Dao Domains to the Heavenly Talisman Sect to buy two Chuanshen Talismans capable of killing an Asking Dao Realm cultivator, I'm very curious, what did Cao Nie do in your Spiritual Firmament Immortal City back then?"
"Ask less. You only need to help me eliminate Cao Nie and Xia Emperor, and a million spirit crystals will be offered."
"Deal. But the hatred of killing a son, why go to such lengths?"
The voice answered irrelevantly: "After the wedding banquet tomorrow, you and I will join forces, first execute Cao Nie, then destroy Xia Emperor, and we will divide this Azure Vast Dao Domain equally."
"I agree, but how much strength do you have left now?"
"How much? Ridiculous. Do you think I only bought Chuanshen Talismans?"
"This is, Half-step Asking Dao?!"
Cao Nie's glabella light receded, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Through the eavesdropping, the other person had been confirmed to be Lingxiao Emperor.
"Chuanshen Talismans that can kill Asking Dao Realm cultivators."
His fingertips lightly tapped the table, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Although he wasn't sure if it could harm him, he couldn't stay here.
"Let's go, to the Crown Prince's Residence." Cao Nie stood up, his robes moving without wind.
Cao An's eyes blazed with light: "Cao Family Head, going to the Crown Prince's Residence in the middle of the night..."
Before he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth had already unconsciously turned up.
"I'm going to get you a concubine and main wife." Cao Nie sneered, his five fingers slicing, and a deep crack immediately appeared in the void.
He stepped in, holding Black Emperor.
"Hehehe, Cao Family Head is brilliant."
Cao An rubbed his hands, trotting along.
He knew that following the Cao Family Head would always bring benefits.
The figures of the two people and one dog vanished from the room in a blink of an eye.
In the dark corner of the Crown Prince's Residence's side courtyard, space suddenly twisted.
Cao Nie and the two others stepped out of the void, landing silently.
"Split up." Cao Nie transmitted, disappearing into the night with Black Emperor.
"Okay, Cao Family Head." In the darkness, Cao An's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Moonlight spilled onto the glazed tiles of the Crown Prince's Residence.
Cao Nie and Cao An silently met outside a hall door.
"Cao Family Head, they're all inside." Cao An's transmission couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Cao Nie's divine sense quietly probed into the hall.
Before the table, red candles burned brightly. Lin Yan held Gao Lan's soft hand: "Lan'er, the grand wedding is tomorrow, why not tonight..."
A blush crept onto Gao Lan's cheeks, and she abruptly pulled back her jade hand: "No, propriety cannot be abandoned."
"Someone's here."
Sensing spatial fluctuations behind him.
Gao Lan suddenly turned her head, only to see a piece of black iron glowing with a faint light rapidly expanding in her vision.
With a "bang" sound.
Gao Lan softly collapsed onto the table.
The weaker Lin Yan had not even had time to notice the abnormality behind him before he fainted.
Cao Nie weighed the nine nether dark iron in his hand, walking out of the shadows, clicking his tongue in wonder: "As expected of a material for refining immortal artifacts, it's truly powerful."
With that, Cao Nie put away the nine nether dark iron.
His peripheral vision caught Cao An pulling out a coarse cloth sack and, with practiced ease, stuffing Lin Yan inside.
The skillful movements made his eye twitch.
"Cao Family Head, let's retreat quickly."
Cao An hoisted the sack onto his shoulder, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
Cao Nie's eye twitched: "You're really taking Lin Yan back?"
"Of course." Cao An righteously tightened the sack: "You've already stolen the Crown Princess, so what's wrong with me taking a Crown Prince as a concubine?"
Cao Nie took a deep breath, and extended his hand: "Give me the sack."
Cao An carefully set down his spoils, wiping away cold sweat: "Cao Family Head, hurry up. This is my first time doing such a big job, my heart is about to jump out of my chest."
Cao Nie took the sack and was about to put the person in, but his hand trembled when he saw the goose-egg-sized lump on Gao Lan's forehead: "This, did Cao Family Head hit too hard?"
Saying that, he deftly stuffed the person into the sack.
"Cao Family Head, you're not skilled at this business."
Cao An had already torn open a spatial rift, muttering: "Kidnapping the Crown Princess so calmly, like strolling through your own backyard."
Cao Nie kicked him into the void, and casually tossed the sack over: "Take Black Emperor and them back first. Cao Family Head is going to stroll through Heavenly Evolution Emperor's harem."
Cao An, holding two sacks, was dumbfounded: "One Crown Princess isn't enough? You're too greedy, Cao Family Head."
Responding to him was Cao Nie's disappearing back in the shadows, and a light, airy sentence: "Since I'm already here."
