Ya Fei, there's something very important I must tell you. Please, don't be alarmed.
You're pregnant—with our child.
You must take care of yourself carefully. For me… and for our child. Promise me you'll stay safe, so that our child can be born healthy."**
The words seemed to explode in Ya Fei's mind.
Her eyes widened, her body froze, and her mind went blank.
"P–Pregnant? I… I'm pregnant?"
She almost couldn't believe it.
But as she thought carefully, her delicate face softened. With Ye Chen's strength, vitality, and the countless nights they had spent together, it wasn't impossible at all.
Slowly, her disbelief turned into joy.
Her fair hands instinctively touched her lower abdomen, and her lips curved into a dazzling smile.
"I'm carrying Brother Ye Chen's child…"
A wave of sweet happiness filled her heart, leaving her cheeks glowing with excitement.
"This will be his first child… when the baby is born, he will never ignore me. He will treasure me even more!"
As a shrewd woman, Ya Fei understood perfectly well—having Ye Chen's child meant her position in his heart was now unshakable.
A tender expression spread across her face as her fingers caressed her belly.
"My child… your mother's happiness and future all depend on you."
Her eyes softened as she turned back to the letter.
"Ya Fei, don't worry. Before the child is born, I will give you a proper status and a grand wedding. You will stand by my side openly, as my wife."
Clutching the letter to her chest, Ya Fei's eyes grew misty. The paper in her hands felt more precious than any treasure.
"Brother Ye Chen…" she whispered softly, her voice trembling with sweetness.
"I will protect our child well. And I will wait for you… wait for the day you marry me."
Her heart brimmed with determination and longing.
Far above the clouds, a giant flying magical beast soared through the skies.
Atop its broad back was a small wooden house, sturdy yet light, crafted from special timber.
Inside, Ye Chen stood by the window, gazing down at the gradually shrinking silhouette of Black Rock City. His lips curved into a faint, confident smile.
After leaving the Mittel Auction House, he had passed through Black Rock City and chartered this flying beast bound for the Imperial Capital.
Now, alone in the cabin, he finally felt a rare sense of calm.
With a thought, Ye Chen stepped into his personal small world.
Within the vast, empty space, Xiao Xun'er was carefully scattering spiritual herb seeds over a barren field.
The small world was dull and lifeless before, with no greenery or fragrance. So, passing through Black Rock City, Ye Chen had purchased a large batch of spiritual herb and flower seeds. Soon, this desolate place would bloom with life and color.
Not far away, more than a dozen first-rank magical beasts were imprisoned within glowing barriers.
They weren't here for decoration.
Since Xiao Xun'er would be living inside this world for a long time, Ye Chen couldn't bring her food every day. With these beasts, she could hunt and sustain herself.
Of course, he didn't actually expect her to fight personally.
A delicious aroma drifted nearby. Yao Chen, with his refined control over fire, was roasting a whole lamb over a carefully balanced flame.
The golden meat sizzled, oil dripping and popping, filling the air with an irresistible fragrance.
Even an eighth-rank alchemist, when put to work in a kitchen, produced results far beyond ordinary chefs. Crispy skin, tender meat—every bite bursting with flavor.
Ye Chen couldn't help but praise: "Truly worthy of an alchemist's control."
When the lamb was ready, Ye Chen, Xiao Xun'er, and even the Purple Electric Marten gathered around.
But to Ye Chen's astonishment, the tiny marten devoured more than half the lamb on its own, its appetite astonishingly large.
Yet its small belly remained perfectly flat, showing no sign of overeating.
"What a waste… if only I had such a physique in my past life. Eat without getting fat," Ye Chen muttered, half envious, half annoyed.
After the meal, Xiao Xun'er brewed a cup of hot tea and brought it to Ye Chen with both hands.
Her clear eyes glanced up at him as she asked quietly: "Master, are we still in Wutan City?"
Ye Chen shook his head, sipping the tea calmly.
"No. I've already left Wutan City. Right now, we're flying toward the Imperial Capital on the back of a magical beast."
Xun'er's lips parted slightly. "Flying in the air? Then… Master, can you let me go out and take a look? I've been inside for so long… I really want to feel the sky outside."
Her hopeful eyes stared at him, filled with longing.
Ye Chen paused, thoughtful, as the flying beast carried them steadily toward the Imperial Capital...toward a future that promised power, challenges, and unshakable bonds.
