After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 20:

Chapter 20: Bai Ya is Pregnant

[Host has successfully impregnated Bai Ya.]

[Reward obtained: Large Spirit Stone Gift Pack.]

[Would you like to open the gift pack?]

“Yes!” Li Wanji said.

[Obtained: Weilong Wax Stick.]

[Obtained: Flood Dragon Bone Claw.]

[Obtained: Spirit Stones x.]

[Obtained: A bottle of Spiritual Water.]

[Obtained: Dried Spirit Fruit Slice.]

[Obtained: One Longevity Nut.]

As soon as the gift pack was opened, a pile of treasures poured out. Li Wanji was overjoyed. He couldn’t sleep, got up eagerly, and went straight to the training room to study the items…

The next day.

Bai Ya didn’t feel anything unusual. After all, she had just gotten pregnant last night. It would still take a few weeks for any obvious symptoms to appear.

“Eat more,” Li Wanji said as he served her a fried egg during breakfast. After a pause, he pulled out a slice of dried spirit fruit. “Eat this too.”

Seeing the green biscuit-like item, Bai Ya asked curiously, “What is this?”

“It’s a good thing. Just eat it,” Li Wanji urged.

“Oh.” Bai Ya didn’t dare refuse. She picked it up and ate it. To her surprise, it was quite tasty, leaving a sweet aftertaste—just like eating codonopsis.

Then she suddenly felt extremely energetic, full of vitality.

“Heavens, what’s happening?” she exclaimed in shock. But she didn’t ask much. Things related to cultivators were surely more magical than mundane things.

After breakfast, Bai Ya went to wash the dishes while Li Wanji played with Nuonuo in the living room.

Chen Lanyi came downstairs after waking up and saw Nuonuo clinging to Li Wanji. She fumed, “This Nuonuo! How can she cling to her dad’s enemy!”

“Go away! You’re not allowed to touch Nuonuo!” she shouted as she stormed over and snatched Nuonuo away.

Li Wanji didn’t argue and simply asked, “Do you have classes this afternoon?”

“What are you plotting?” Chen Lanyi glanced at him coldly.

“I’ll be home this afternoon, and it’ll be boring. I want you to stay and make a baby with me.”

Li Wanji said it openly, completely ignoring her feelings.

“You bastard. Every day, every single day, and you don’t even have the ability!” Chen Lanyi snapped in embarrassment and anger.

This guy clearly had physical issues and couldn’t have kids, yet he kept talking about making babies. He was obviously just lusting after her body.

“Making a baby depends on luck. I just enjoy the process of playing cards, especially with you,” Li Wanji said as he stared at her delicate face and examined her figure. “Hmm, rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and a fuller figure—this is all thanks to me. You should thank me.”

“Thank your damn mother!” Chen Lanyi cursed and raised her dainty foot. “Believe it or not, I’ll kick you!”

“Come on,” Li Wanji beckoned provocatively.

“Go to hell!” Chen Lanyi put Nuonuo down and charged at him, raising her dainty foot to kick him.

Li Wanji grabbed her ankle in one swift move.

“Ah!” Chen Lanyi was forced into a one-legged stance like a golden rooster, her face flushed with panic. “Let me go!”

She didn’t dare struggle for fear of falling.

Li Wanji peeked under her skirt.

“Don’t look!” Chen Lanyi screamed and hurriedly pressed her hands against her skirt hem.

“So what if I look? There’s no part of your body I haven’t seen or kissed.” Li Wanji let go of her ankle and smiled.

“Pervert!” Chen Lanyi glared at him furiously and turned back to care for Nuonuo, ignoring him.

“Alright, I should head to work.” Li Wanji turned off the TV and left for work.

At the company, Li Wanji made some future plans and handed the blueprints to his younger sister. Then he got off work.

The reason he brought his sister into the company was so he could become a hands-off boss. Since it was his own sister, he trusted her completely with the company.

Meanwhile.

Gu Qingning was meeting with Cao Kun at a hotel.

“Miss Gu, isn’t it time you fulfilled your end of the deal?” Cao Kun wore a black shirt and trousers, polished leather shoes, and had a neatly parted hairstyle, looking overly slick.

Previously, Gu Qingning had asked him to stop supplying Bai Ling to the Xiao family. In return, he didn’t ask for money—he wanted… perks. Like Gu Qingning’s black stockings, or some photo sets, maybe some private pictures.

He had been secretly in love with her for a long time. Now that Chen Fan was out of the picture, there was no fear in stealing his girl.

“Well…” Gu Qingning’s eyes dodged as she bit her lip and said, “If Young Master Cao wants my worn stockings, you’ll have to help me with one more thing. I’ll throw in ten private photos as a bonus.”

Cao Kun narrowed his eyes and stared at her stunning face. “Besides that, I want to touch your thighs in those black stockings. If not, don’t expect me to help again.”

“Fine,” Gu Qingning gritted her teeth and agreed.

Snap.

Cao Kun snapped his fingers. Instantly, the lights in the hotel lobby went out.

“Miss Gu, now it’s just the two of us here. Can I touch now?” Cao Kun leaned in as he spoke.

“You may,” Gu Qingning said with a frown, her face full of disgust.

Cao Kun grinned and suddenly pulled out a spray and sprayed it at her face twice.

“What are you doing?!”

Gu Qingning became alert instantly, stepping back to put distance between them.

“Hehehe, this is an aphrodisiac mist extracted from herbal medicine. Even a bull would go into heat after this—let alone a woman.”

“You… Young Master Cao, you shameless bastard! Aren’t you afraid Chen Fan will come for you?”

Gu Qingning’s head began to spin and her body felt increasingly hot.

“As long as I can have you, I’m not afraid to die!” Cao Kun sneered. “Why should Chen Fan get you and not me? A man lives once—if I can’t have a top-tier woman like you, I’d rather be dead!”

With that, he threw off his coat and lunged at the elegant beauty before him.

Buzz.

Just then, a crystal on the bracelet on Gu Qingning’s wrist shattered, releasing a dazzling white light.

BOOM! Cao Kun was blasted away, slammed into a wall, and died on the spot.

A moment later, blood seeped across the floor.

Gu Qingning turned on the flashlight on her phone. She saw Cao Kun lying in a pool of blood on the floor. Looking down at the bracelet on her wrist, she realized it was the defensive artifact Chen Fan had given her. It could block a full-strength blow from a master.

As long as anyone harbored ill intent toward her, the artifact would automatically protect its owner.

“Unfortunately, that man’s now a master. This protective artifact likely won’t be able to stop him,” Gu Qingning muttered with a worried expression. Then her body grew hotter. “Damn it!”

She quickly called Xie Yourong.

“I’ve been drugged, come pick me up quickly.”

“Oh, and bring Wang Lun. I want to cause that guy some trouble.”

…

The next day, the internet exploded.

[Mingyun City’s Wanquan Tech CEO Li Wanji suspected of murdering the Cao family’s young master.]

[Wanquan beauty cream contains toxic ingredients!]

Li Wanji was still cuddling a pretty girl in his sleep when a phone call startled him awake. Meanwhile, shouts echoed from downstairs:

“Li Wanji, you’re surrounded! Don’t resist! Order your bodyguards to stand down, or we will take forceful action!”
