The Heroine and Villainess are Pregnant. What's Going On? - Chapter 58:
Chapter 58: If You Keep Meddling, I Really Won’t Marry You:
The rain became heavier.
At the peak of Longtan Mountain, beneath the heavy rain, Luo Xinli and Ling Youruo stood facing each other, swords in hand and umbrellas raised.
They silently stared at one another.
In the entire world, it seemed like there was nothing but the sound of rain.
The countless people scattered across the mountain had all become like statues, silent and still, watching the peak of Longtan Mountain, where two figures, one in red and the other in white, stood.
In the pavilion, Ling Ye’s gaze was also fixed on that spot, watching Luo Xinli and Ling Youruo. His lips curved into a slight smile once again.
“You’re smiling again…” Ye Lin, who had been closely observing every change in Ling Ye’s expression, noticed it immediately. He had smiled when he saw Ling Youruo, and now he smiled when he saw Luo Xinli!
He definitely had feelings for both of them; his heart was clearly moved!
How could it not be?
They had even shared such intimate moments. Of course, his heart was involved!
If he didn’t have feelings for them, how could these two peerless beauties have so easily given themselves to him?
“If you keep meddling, I really won’t marry you!” Ling Ye turned his head and glanced at Ye Lin.
“You…” Ye Lin glared at him. Her pretty face flushed with anger. But she didn’t dare let it out. After all, she was genuinely afraid that Ling Ye might actually abandon her! He could easily do so, and there would be nothing she could do to stop him!
Her anger quickly transformed into a look of grievance on her face. This s.coundrel had been bullying her since they were children, and she could never win against him. It was infuriating!
Seeing Ye Lin’s pitiful expression, Ling Ye couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head. He reached out his hands, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and pulled her close. “Don’t interfere where you shouldn’t. It doesn’t change the fact that I love you.”
“Love you, my foot! You talk big!” Ye Lin pouted, though she didn’t dare press the issue further.
The two of them continued to watch the peak of Longtan Mountain, waiting for the battle to erupt. When the moment came for them to fight for their lives, Ling Ye would naturally step in. As he had always said, they could fight, but only to a certain extent.
Among the crowd in the rain, in an inconspicuous spot, Su Su stood with a small umbrella in her hand, looking in that direction.
Her little face was tense, and she couldn’t help but clench her delicate fists. “Sister Luo, you can definitely win! You’ll completely defeat that wicked woman!” she prayed in her heart.
Luo Xinli had already consumed the Golden Blood Ginseng, and her power had increased.
Recently, she had even been practicing a powerful sword technique from an unknown source. She was bound to win! She had to come through unscathed, both she and the baby in her belly.
On the large ship of the Tianyou Sect in the Dragon Pool, Lin Feng was also staring intently at the peak of Longtan Mountain, watching Ling Youruo and Luo Xinli. Her face was full of worry. The sect leader was pregnant; there was no way she could be a match for Luo Xinli now. Even if she could fight her, the effort of both going all out would surely endanger her pregnancy.
What could be done?
Did the sect leader really have no other plan?
Even conceding defeat wouldn’t be out of the question!
A thousand meters away from the Tianyou Sect’s ship was another large ship.
In its cabin, the curtains were slightly lifted, revealing a figure in a dragon robe—a sturdy man. It was none other than… Ye Tianji, the current emperor!
The emperor was right there, on that ship, yet no one knew.
All eyes were fixed on the peak of Longtan Mountain, with no one paying attention to him. His gaze, too, was locked on the peak, awaiting the outbreak of an epic battle. Then… he could reap the benefits!
It would be best if Ling Youruo and Luo Xinli fought to the death. If the battle between them triggered a larger conflict between the Tianyou Sect and Luo Xinli’s allies, that would be even better! That way, he could profit even more.
This battle had drawn nearly all the key figures of the entire Mysterious Jade Empire and the martial world. Ye Tianji was here, as were Ling Ye and Ye Lin. Ye Wuchen and Ye Wushi were, of course, here as well.
Not far away, on another viewing platform, two young men sat drinking together.
They were the First Prince, Ye Wushi, and the Fourth Prince, Ye Wuchen. Their gazes were also fixed on the peak of the Dragon Pool.
Ye Wushi smiled faintly and said, “I heard that Second Brother has been gathering experts from various factions recently?”
“Heh, isn’t Big Brother doing the same?” Ye Wuchen chuckled.
“I remember Second Brother saying that I, as the eldest son, should rightfully inherit the throne,” Ye Wushi continued, his eyes on Ye Wuchen. “But now… it seems that what Second Brother is doing doesn’t match what he said in front of Father that day, does it?”
