After a safe journey, Li Wanji and his team finally completed the task of purchasing supplies.

It was already night when they returned to Wangcheng. However, the underworld was a place of eternal darkness. Several netherworld lights floated in the sky, illuminating the entire stronghold.

Li Wanji, Wen Daochen and Tu Shanyi passed through the restaurant's restrictions and came to the inside of the stronghold, where they saw bright lights everywhere and many allies were busy.

"Are you back?" A gentle voice came, and Ye Wushang came forward.

"Lord Ye." Wen Daochen bowed and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

Li Wanji and Tu Shanyi followed closely and greeted Ye Wushang.

Ye Wushang looked at the three of them, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You completed the mission well this time, thank you for your hard work."

He patted Wen Daochen on the shoulder, looked at Li Wanji and Tu Shanyi, and continued: "Especially Miss Wanji and Master Tushan, you performed so well on your first mission, it's really rare."

Li Wanji smiled slightly and said modestly: "Master Ye, thank you for your praise. It is because of Brother Daochen's proper command that we were able to successfully complete the mission."

Tu Shanyi also echoed, "Yes, Master Wen is indeed very powerful. We both benefited from him."

Hearing this, Wen Daochen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "You two should stop flattering me. The successful completion of this mission depends on everyone's joint efforts."

Ye Wushang felt even more satisfied when he saw the three people being humble to each other.

"Okay, you guys go back and rest first. We have tasks to arrange tomorrow." Ye Wushang said, then turned and left.

Wen Daochen and the other two also returned to their rooms.

In the following days, because the previous action had caused quite a stir, the evil ghosts from Youdu Mountain still lingered around Wangcheng and refused to leave.

In order to protect their stronghold, everyone dared not easily trigger a large-scale conflict again. They just carefully arranged to send the hostages rescued last time out of the city in groups of three or two.

There are also routine tasks such as transporting purchased materials to the front line, contacting various forces to form an alliance, and gathering information and spying on the enemy.

Ye Wushang told everyone to stay like this for a while, wait for some movement in the strongholds in other cities to distract the attention of these evil spirits, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Therefore, Li Wanji and others were able to rest temporarily and no longer had to take the risk of carrying out the mission.

Finally, the ten-day deadline has arrived. The fetus in Li Wanji's belly has fully developed and the system also indicates that it will be born today.

She asked for a day off from Ye Wushang early in the morning, and also said hello to her allies including Tu Shanyi. She declined all possible requests on the grounds that she had to practice in seclusion today.

However, after thinking seriously for a moment, he called Wen Daochen to his room alone.

Wen Daochen knew that Li Wanji didn't like him very much.

Ever since the last time they met after their one-night stand, Li Wanji's attitude towards him had always been a little distant, intentionally or unintentionally.

I guess she must be angry at myself for leaving without saying goodbye.

Wen Daochen stood in front of Li Wanji's door, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The room was still decorated simply and elegantly. Li Wanji was sitting beside the bed, quietly waiting for his arrival.

Seeing Wen Daochen coming in, Li Wanji's eyes flashed with a complex emotion. She stood up and bowed slightly as a greeting.

"Brother Daochen, you're here." Her voice was cold, yet polite.

"Miss Wan Ji, what did you call me for?" Wen Daochen looked at her, puzzled.

Li Wanji asked, "Brother Daochen, are you interested in me?"

She had to make clear Wen Daochen's attitude, otherwise she would plan to raise the child in her belly alone and never have anything to do with Wen Daochen again.

Although Wen Daochen didn't know why Li Wanji suddenly asked this question, but thinking that he did have feelings for her, he said frankly: "Of course."

Li Wanji felt nervous when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face. She continued to ask, "Then do you know why I want to see you alone today?"

Wen Daochen shook his head, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Li Wanji looked at him, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I want to tell you something today, about me, and about you."

When Wen Daochen heard this, he was startled. He felt that what Li Wanji was going to say next might be of great significance.

He collected his thoughts, looked at Li Wanji seriously, and said softly, "Miss Wanji, please speak frankly."

Li Wanji took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am pregnant, it's your child."

When these words came out, Wen Daochen was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He stammered, "Y-You mean...you're pregnant with my child?"

Li Wanji nodded, with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, I am pregnant with your child. The fetus is now mature and will be born today."

Wen Daochen stood there in a daze. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Miss Wanji, stop joking. It's only been ten days. How can you get pregnant and give birth to a child?"

"Wen Daochen, do you think I'm joking?" Li Wanji looked at him, her eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness.

"Can……"

Wen Daochen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Wanji: "I know this is hard to believe, but it is the truth. This child is yours."

As she spoke, she pulled Wen Daochen's hand and injected a gentle spiritual power into his palm.

Then he pulled that hand over and placed it on his lower abdomen.

Wen Daochen only felt a wonderful connection arising under his palm, and his mind seemed to be attracted. Through Li Wanji's abdomen, eight little lives were being conceived.

He looked at Li Wanji in shock, his eyes full of disbelief: "How, how is this possible..."

Li Wanji smiled softly and explained, "The technique I practice is somewhat special and can accelerate the growth of the fetus. So, even though it's only been ten days, the baby is already full-term and can be born."

Wen Daochen listened to her explanation, but the shock in his heart could not subside for a long time.

"Ms. Wanji, I...I don't know what to say, I..."

He was so excited that he was incoherent and didn't know how to digest this huge surprise.

Wen Daochen has always been calm and composed, but his current behavior made Li Wanji mistakenly believe that he was unwilling to take responsibility. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she shouldn't have told him the news so abruptly.

"Wen Daochen, if you can't accept it, then just pretend that I never said this today. Just go away." Li Wanji said coldly.

Hearing this, Wen Daochen woke up as if from a dream. He quickly grabbed Li Wanji's hand and asked anxiously, "Wanji, why are you still so cruel to me this time?"

He was always jealous when he saw her chatting and laughing with other men. Now that she had his child, she wanted to abandon him. How could Wen Daochen accept this?

Li Wanji was gripped so hard by Wen Daochen that it hurt. She frowned and tried to break free from his hand, but he held it even tighter.
