To Raise a Child, You Must Start from the Fetus!

After learning Yun Yun's identity, Xiao Yan was stunned, his mind struggling to process it.

The Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect—wasn't she Nalan Yanran's teacher?

How could she...

Looking at Yun Yun, once again held in Lu Chuan's arms, Xiao Yan felt as though he had fallen into a dream.

As someone from the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan had grown up listening to legends about the Misty Cloud Sect.

And Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, was even more of a legendary figure within the Jia Ma Empire.

Nalan Yanran had been so arrogant and brazen when she came to break off her engagement with Xiao Yan.

Wasn't it precisely because her teacher was the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect?

But now...

Looking at Yun Yun nestled against Lu Chuan's chest like a little bird.

Xiao Yan truly found it difficult to imagine that the woman before him was the legendary figure of the Jia Ma Empire.

Faced with Xiao Yan's astonished gaze, Yun Yun also felt somewhat awkward.

Had the engagement not been called off, this young man should have been her beloved disciple's fiancé.

Being seen embraced by Lu Chuan in front of such a junior made Yun Yun feel rather uncomfortable.

This boy... wouldn't he let his imagination run wild, would he?

When she had the chance, she had to make things clear to him and forbid him from revealing what had happened here.

Although, under Lu Chuan's "care," Yun Yun had gradually come to accept him in her heart.

She still could not bring herself to face the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran, or even the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Yun Yun did not want the Misty Cloud Sect to know that she had become Lu Chuan's woman.

She knew well that if the Misty Cloud Sect learned what had happened here, they would certainly be unable to remain still.

They might even send experts from the sect to battle Lu Chuan in order to rescue her.

Whether either side won or lost, neither outcome was something Yun Yun wished to see now.

Therefore, Yun Yun did not want the outside world to know that she lived here.

She was a very traditional woman. Since she was now Lu Chuan's woman, she had already resolved to follow him properly.

Moreover, the strength and methods Lu Chuan had displayed had thoroughly conquered both her body and heart.

Yun Yun had gone from resisting him at the beginning to gradually learning how to accommodate him later on.

"Brat, why are you gawking? Hurry up and pay your respects to the Mistress."

Seeing Xiao Yan standing there in a daze, Yao Chen suddenly kicked him and scolded him angrily.

When Yao Chen learned of Yun Yun's identity, he too had been rather startled.

At the same time, he felt somewhat awkward.

He was Xiao Yan's teacher.

Yun Yun was Nalan Yanran's teacher.

Who could have expected that after their two disciples made the Three-Year Agreement.

Their teachers would meet for the first time under such circumstances?

And she was the Mistress, while he was merely a servant.

Before encountering Lu Chuan, someone like Yun Yun would not even have been worthy of Yao Chen's notice.

She was merely a Dou Emperor, an ant who had not even been fit to carry his shoes back then.

Yet now, he had to lower his head before an ant of a Dou Emperor.

Simply because she was his Master's woman.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen's feelings were rather complicated.

But his temperament was extraordinary, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. He directly addressed Yun Yun as Mistress, while also reminding Xiao Yan beside him.

"Xiao Yan pays respects to Mistress."

Prompted by Yao Chen, Xiao Yan finally came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to Yun Yun.

He also understood that regardless of what this woman's identity had once been.

After he had submitted to Lu Chuan, Yun Yun was his Mistress.

He must not show the slightest disrespect!

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Yun Yun smiled faintly and nodded at the master and disciple.

"Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, from now on, you will live next door to This King."

Seeing that the three had become acquainted, Lu Chuan smiled faintly and said to Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, "Later, This King will have Golden Eagle carve out a Cave Mansion specifically for the two of you."

"Thank you, Master."

At his words, Xiao Yan and his master bowed respectfully.

"You are both alchemists. As alchemists, the most troublesome matter is finding medicinal ingredients, isn't it?"

"However, after submitting to This King, you need not worry about such matters at all."

Lu Chuan looked at Xiao Yan and his master before him, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He then tossed a Storage Ring to Yao Chen and said, "These are medicinal ingredients This King gathered from the lairs of two other Sixth-tier Magical Beasts. You master and disciple may use them."

With the Soul Contract binding them, Xiao Yan and his master had virtually no possibility of betraying him.

Therefore, Lu Chuan was not stingy. He generously brought out a large quantity of medicinal ingredients.

Yao Chen accepted the Storage Ring from Lu Chuan. As he sent his awareness inside to inspect it, a flicker of surprise crossed his aged face.

To the former Venerable Yao, the medicinal ingredients inside were naturally insignificant.

But to him now, they were undoubtedly a godsend in the snow.

What delighted him most was that there were even several rare medicinal ingredients capable of restoring Spiritual Power.

"Thank you for your reward, Master!"

After putting away the Storage Ring, Yao Chen hurriedly thanked Lu Chuan.

"From now on, your task as master and disciple will be to refine pills for This King within the Cave Mansion."

"If you lack medicinal ingredients, This King will instruct Golden Eagle to protect you while you search for them within the Monster Beast Mountain Range."

Since he had subdued two alchemists, Xiao Yan and his master—especially Yao Chen, an Eight-grade Alchemist—Lu Chuan naturally would not let their talents go to waste.

Pills were likewise of immense use to Magical Beasts.

With a large supply of pills in hand, he could also gain support for developing his forces in the future.

In particular, he possessed several enormous peaks within the Monster Beast Mountain Range, where countless rare medicinal ingredients lay hidden. The ingredients needed by Xiao Yan and his master could be entirely self-supplied.

"Yes, Master."

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan naturally did not dare disobey Lu Chuan's orders.

"Oh, right, Yao Chen. Can you refine any high-grade pills that nourish a fetus?"

At that moment, Lu Chuan suddenly thought of the child in Yun Yun's womb. His heart stirred as he asked Yao Chen.

While a fetus was still in the mother's womb, it needed to be nourished with countless miraculous pills and medicines. That way, after the child was born, its strength would be even greater, and its potential would be extremely terrifying.

Having read the original work, Lu Chuan naturally understood this principle.

In the original work, Xiao Yan had given his daughter the Grade Seven Pill, the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill.

Now that he had become Xiao Yan's Master, the things he used for his own child could not possibly be inferior to what he gave this servant, could they?

A child's cultivation had to be grasped from the fetal stage.

"Nourish a fetus?"

Yao Chen was stunned upon hearing this, then glanced at Yun Yun beside him.

Could it be...

Mistress was already pregnant?

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly as well.

He recalled that half a month ago, when Lu Chuan had fought Yun Yun, he had declared that he would make Yun Yun bear him a child.

Only half a month had passed, and Yun Yun was already pregnant?

Master was truly fierce!

Yun Yun was also stunned by Lu Chuan's words, but she quickly came to her senses. A blush appeared on her pretty face as she cast Lu Chuan a charmingly exasperated glance.

At this moment, she still did not know that she was already carrying Lu Chuan's child.
