Chapter 233 - Feng Xiyao's Pregnancy

After Feng Xiyao fainted, she found herself back in the Endless Realm.

The System revealed its true form, circling around her in celebration.

"Congratulations, Host! Your Life Value has increased to 60%. This is your first time reaching this height—congratulations!"

Feng Xiyao's eyes were filled with joy.

"Why was it so fast this time? I didn't even have time to react."

System: "I'm not sure either. I was asleep when I sensed your Life Value skyrocketing."

Feng Xiyao pondered for a moment, suspecting that it might be due to Tyrant's actions.

She waved her hand. "Now that my Life Value is at 60%, can I alter the storyline?"

System nodded. "Of course, Host. You can change the plot according to your own wishes."

As she spoke, a brilliant light landed in her hand.

"The host can alter it right now!"

A smile spread across Feng Xiyao's face as she closed her eyes, recalling every detail of the original story.

She lingered on the scene of the characters' collective finale.

"I want them all to be masters of their own destinies. I want them to be flesh and blood, not just mere characters on a page."

"Whether it's Mo Cangyan, Mo Qingcheng, or Mo Lingyun, each of them deserves their own life, free from the constraints of the plot."

With these words, an intense, blinding radiance enveloped her...

...

When she awoke again, it was already night. She opened her eyes to meet Mo Cangyan's worried expression.

Observing her regain consciousness, Mo Cangyan held her hand tightly.

"Yao, you're finally awake!"

Consort Li clutched her handkerchief, relieved to see her eyes finally open after all that had happened.

Upon arriving at Fengchun Palace, she hadn't done anything, and Feng Xiyao had already fainted.

Her cousin had nearly strangled her upon learning of the incident.

After much persuasion, he had reluctantly refrained from harming her, convinced that Feng Xiyao's collapse was unrelated to her actions.

With a pout of injustice, Consort Li frowned. Who had she offended? Why was she always the one to suffer such misfortune?

Recalling the events in the Endless, Feng Xiyao stood up and embraced Mo Cangyan, burying her head in his chest.

"It's wonderful to see you when I open my eyes!"

Mo Cangyan wrapped his arms around her affectionately, holding her close to his heart.

Consort Li pouted, these two truly didn't treat them as outsiders, openly embracing before everyone's eyes.

"Aunt, look at them..."

She tugged on the Empress Dowager who was beside her.

Only upon hearing Consort Li's voice did Feng Xiyao realize that the Empress Dowager was also present. Blushing, she retreated from Mo Cangyan's embrace and awkwardly called out.

"Mother!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with joy as she went over to take her hand.

"Does the Empress feel unwell anywhere? Your Highness almost scared me to death during those hours you were unconscious."

Listening to the Empress Dowager's worried tone, Feng Xiyao assumed something must have happened to her. She frowned and asked,

"I feel fine now. But why did I suddenly faint?"

A smile played on Mo Cangyan's lips, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

He took her hand and kissed it softly. "Yao, you're pregnant. We're going to have a child."

"..."

Feng Xiyao's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

"What? Pregnant?"

The Empress Dowager's affectionate gaze fell upon her abdomen.

"Yes, the imperial physician said it's been precisely two months. The first three months are crucial; the Empress must take care of herself."

"Two months already!"

Feng Xiyao murmured, recalling how Mo Cangyan had forcefully claimed her on their bed two months ago. With a surge of anger, she pushed him away back then.

"You really are something!"

Mo Cangyan's eyes crinkled with joy as he chuckled, willingly accepting her playful scolding.

"My mistake, I won't dare again in the future. I'll surely protect you all."

Consort Li huffed lightly. She believed Feng Xiyao was taking advantage of her cousin's affection for her, acting recklessly with no fear of consequences.

Fortunately, she had caught her in time; otherwise, Feng Xiyao would have taken full advantage!

...

Given Feng Xiyao's sensitive background, Mo Cangyan originally intended to grant her a new identity and then elevate her to empress. However, she declined the offer.

Pregnant now, she lacked energy and found everything tedious, deeming the process of becoming an empress too troublesome. She said she'd prefer to wait until after giving birth.

Mo Cangyan doted on her like a precious treasure. After his court sessions, he rushed to Fengchun Palace to accompany her, carrying her wherever he went, desiring constant togetherness.

Upon hearing the news, Mo Lingyun and Zhang Luoyi hurriedly entered the palace to congratulate them.

By the time they arrived, Mo Qingcheng and Jiang Jue were already there. Jiang Jue held Jiang Wang in his arms, gazing at Feng Xiyao with tender eyes.

The Emperor adored her and, knowing her happiness, he had let go of his own attachments.

Feng Xiyao lifted her gaze to Jiang Jue, offering him a gentle smile.

From now on, they each had their own paths to tread.

Little Pearl was now able to walk, and under Mo Lingyun's indulgence, she had become quite mischievous and spoilt, always chasing after cats and dogs.

Even in Fengchun Palace, she couldn't stay still, crying out for Feng Xiyao to carry her.

"Pearl, you can't!"

Zhang Luoyi held her back, wary of the child accidentally hurting Feng Xiyao.

"How fragile do you think I am?!"

Lately, Feng Xiyao had been overwhelmed with maternal love and couldn't bear to see Little Pearl shed tears. She scooped the child into her arms.

Little Pearl nestled obediently in her embrace, gazing at her belly, then giggled and said.

"Sis... Pearl wants a little sis..."

Feng Xiyao kissed her fair little face. "Alright, alright, I'll give birth to a sister for Pearl!"

...

After everyone had left, Consort Li secretly made her way to Fengchun Palace.

Her gaze fell upon Feng Xiyao's belly, and she cleared her throat.

"Congratulations, the throne of the queen is yours once again!"

Feng Xiyao leaned on a chaise longue, savoring her fruit with a triumphant smile on her face.

"What's the matter, Consort Li? Are you displeased?"

Consort Li hummed softly and approached, opening a delicate box.

It was filled with jewelry, a magnificent trove of glittering gold.

"These items aren't for you; they're meant for the child!"

Aware that her proud nature would never change, Feng Xiyao was more than willing to accommodate her.

"F-fine, I'll thank Consort Li on behalf of the child in my womb."

Consort Li raised an eyebrow, pleased with herself.

"But there's a condition. I want to be the child's godmother."

"Godmother?"

Consort Li's smile faded slightly. "Is something wrong? Do you think my gifts are insufficient?"

Feng Xiyao smiled gently. "No, not at all. If you wish to be the child's godmother, there's no need to present gifts."

Hearing this, Consort Li's spirits lifted once more.

"No, no. This gift is specifically for the child. It's a must."

Feng Xiyao took the box, "I'll accept this gift, and from now on, you'll be the child's godmother."

Consort Li's smile creased her eyes, "Yes, indeed!"

...

Far away in the Wanhe Sect, Ye Xunzi sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes.

"How can this be? Why has it turned out like this?"

He couldn't comprehend why, despite his calculations indicating a bright future for Murong, the situation had become so muddled, obscuring even the path ahead.

Moreover, he sensed that Murong's martial arts abilities had been crippled, leaving him confined in a dungeon.

Infuriated by the treatment of his beloved disciple, Ye Xunzi left seclusion and headed straight for the Great Xia...
