The Heroine and Villainess are Pregnant. What's Going On? - Chapter 41:

Chapter 41: Unless… That Person Is Ling Ye:

The ancient path returned to its tranquil silence once more. The luxurious carriage came to a stop, and everyone halted in their tracks. Luo Xinli’s gaze was fixed on the elegant carriage ahead. She could sense a presence within, one that wasn’t weak.

Su Su, hiding behind Luo Xinli, peeked out cautiously.

“Heh! As expected of a Sword Immortal Luo ’s strike, though only using a fraction of her strength, is truly astonishing!”

At that moment, a faint chuckle emerged from within the luxurious carriage. A guard lifted the curtain, revealing a man who slowly stepped out of the carriage. He was dressed in blue, holding a folding fan. His spotless face bore a constant gentle smile. Truly, he was the epitome of a noble gentleman.

“Ye Wuchen greets Sword Immortal Luo!” As he arrived, he offered Luo Xinli a slight bow, appearing cultured and courteous.

Ye Wuchen? The younger prince of the Mysterious Jade Empire, Ye Wuchen?

Luo Xinli also slightly cupped her hands in return. “Your Highness, to what do I owe the honor of your presence?”

What was a prince of the Mysterious Jade Empire doing in such a place?

“We were seeking the Sword Immortal Luo and decided to secretly follow those Dragon Tiger Gang members,” Ye Wuchen said with a light smile. “We thought perhaps there would be something we could assist you with, but it turns out Sword Immortal Luo’s skills are unmatched, and you didn’t need our help at all.”

“Ha? You’ve been following us all this time? Why didn’t you save me earlier?” Su Su, standing behind Luo Xinli, pouted. “I had to endure being tied up the whole way!”

“If we had rescued the Little Divine Doctor earlier, how would we have found Sword Immortal Luo?” Ye Wuchen smiled softly. “I hope the Little Divine Doctor can forgive us.”

Su Su glared at him but remained silent. It did make some sense…

“Were you looking for me?” Luo Xinli asked, her voice calm. Why were so many people suddenly seeking her? Could it all be related to that so-called… Golden Blood Ginseng?

“Indeed! I’ve long heard of Sword Immortal Luo’s unparalleled reputation in the martial world, and I’ve always wanted to witness your elegance firsthand,” Ye Wuchen said with a slight smile. “And perhaps… to make your acquaintance.”

In the current martial world, no name was more famous than Luo Xinli, the Sword Immortal. Therefore… if he wanted to conquer the entire martial world, he would naturally start by befriending this legendary Sword Immortal.

Upon seeing her today, Ye Wuchen couldn’t help but admit that Luo Xinli indeed appeared like an immortal from the heavens, untouched by the dust of the mortal world. To win such a beauty would be akin to holding half of the martial world in his hands. Even if he couldn’t control half the martial world, merely having this beauty would be a grand achievement!

Ye Wuchen’s gaze never left Luo Xinli.

After growing accustomed to the palace maids with their thick makeup, the sight of this pure, snow-white Luo Sword Immortal stirred something rare within him.

If he could hold her hand and grow old together, wouldn’t that mean having both the world and the beauty in his grasp?

Ye Wuchen was confident in himself!

In terms of appearance and status, there were indeed few in the world who could rival him.

He was, without a doubt, a noble gentleman of unparalleled quality. So, he believed he could win Luo Xinli over.

“I can see that Sword Immortal Luo is a lover of fine wine. Would you do me the honor… of sharing a drink with me?” Ye Wuchen asked, smiling slightly as he extended the invitation.

Faced with his invitation, no one had ever been able to refuse before. After all, he was a prince—a person of great status!

Especially among young women, none could resist even a fraction of his charm. How could an ordinary woman refuse an invitation from a prince of such high esteem?

But this time, he was mistaken!

As a prince, there were indeed few women he could not obtain.

But in this world, there were still those who would be out of his reach!

Luo Xinli sheathed her long sword and slowly replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but… I have urgent matters to attend to!”

She had no interest in drinking with anyone.

Unless… that person was Ling Ye!

If she couldn’t drink with the one in her heart, then drinking with anyone else… would be no better than drinking alone!

The prince had suddenly sought her out to make her acquaintance?

Of course, Luo Xinli knew that such an offer must come with an ulterior motive!

And she never liked relationships that had hidden agendas!

With that, Luo Xinli turned and mounted her horse.

Then, she extended her hand to Su Su.

Su Su quickly grabbed her hand, leapt up, and sat in front of Luo Xinli.

The two beauties, one large and one small, then rode away slowly along the ancient path.

Seeing Luo Xinli’s cold attitude, Ye Wuchen’s eyebrow furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t expected someone to refuse him—so directly, too!

Did Luo Xinli really have no interest in him at all?

Was it possible that he… lacked charm?

As Luo Xinli and Su Su were about to leave, several soldiers stepped forward to block their path.

“Show some respect!” Ye Wuchen quickly intervened.

His goal was to befriend Luo Xinli, not to create conflict with her, and certainly not to use force to make her submit!

Offending Luo Xinli was akin to offending half of the martial world, which was not a wise move!

If half of the martial world turned against him, how could he ever hope to make the martial world bow to him?

Hearing Ye Wuchen’s command, the soldiers quickly stepped aside.

“Since Sword Immortal Luo has urgent matters, I won’t trouble you further!” Ye Wuchen said with a slight bow. “Perhaps we shall meet again when you have time.”

He still wore the same gentle, sunny smile.

“Farewell!” Luo Xinli replied coolly, and with that, she and Su Su rode away along the ancient path…

She had no intention of meeting with Ye Wuchen again!
