Chapter 1735: Chapter 1774: The Primordial Land

The good news came so suddenly that Jiang Fan was completely unprepared.

He trembled as he reached out to place his hand on Gong Caiyi’s belly, feeling a faint but consistent heartbeat.

She was truly pregnant!

Jiang Fan grasped Gong Caiyi’s arm tightly and said, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

He finally understood why Gong Caiyi said she was inconvenient the last time they met.

It was because she was already three months pregnant.

If he had known, Jiang Fan would have insisted on bringing her to his side to care for her, rather than letting her stay alone on the continent.

Gong Caiyi blushed deeply; how could she possibly say it?

Because she initially planned to secretly give birth to the child and raise it on her own.

Looking at the tombstone in front of her, she showed respect and bowed:

"Daughter-in-law Gong Caiyi is here to pay respects to father-in-law, grateful for Jiang Fan’s acceptance and kindness. Caiyi wishes to continue the Jiang family lineage and educate future generations."

Jiang Fan also bowed to the tombstone, his eyes filled with excitement and joyful tears:

"Father, did you hear that?"

"Your child is going to be a father, and you will have a grandchild."

The three of them finished their respects.

Jiang Fan looked at Gong Caiyi, momentarily at a loss for words, only able to smile foolishly.

New to fatherhood, he had absolutely no experience.

Xu Youran rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly take Caiyi sister back to the Xu Mansion to rest."

"This is the first child of the Jiang family, there can be no mistakes."

Jiang Fan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I’ll follow your arrangements."

Soon after, at the Xu Mansion.

The Xu Mansion is now undoubtedly the number one family in Lonely Boat City.

With the two daughters, Xu Youran and Xu Yining, bringing immense honor to the Xu Family.

Son-in-law Jiang Fan is an awe-inspiring Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

The Xu Mansion has expanded significantly, grand and magnificent, with Green Cloud Sect experts arranged to protect it secretly.

It can be said that wealth and prosperity are boundless.

Upon learning that his daughter returned, Xu Zhengyan, with two dark circles under his eyes, hurried over to welcome her.

"Youran!" Xu Zhengyan’s aged eyes immediately reddened.

Since Xu Youran and Xu Yining went to Green Cloud Sect, they have been deeply engrossed in Martial Path, returning home almost like dreamlike figures.

Xu Yining had returned once.

Xu Youran left and never sent any news.

"Your daughter is unfilial, only coming to see you today." Xu Youran’s eyes glimmered with tears.

Jiang Fan glanced at Xu Zhengyan’s exhausted appearance, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seems his charming wife has gained another batch of beauties.

At this time, a group of women hurried over.

Except for Wang Yingfeng, all were young and beautiful women.

They curiously looked at this once-disowned Xu Family girl, their admiration and awe apparent.

What Xu Youran has today was supposed to be another Xu Family girl’s.

Unfortunately, Xu Yining’s youthful arrogance and her mother Wang Yingfeng’s preference for riches made this opportunity fall to Xu Youran.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yingfeng felt both regretful and self-reproachful.

She was the one who harmed her daughter!

The women paid their respects to Jiang Fan and Xu Youran, and Wang Yingfeng also set aside her former sharpness, kneeling and bowing.

Jiang Fan noticed her.

The once domineering Xu Family Matriarch now appeared aged and haggard among the group of young and beautiful women.

Coupled with these ladies having more powerful family backgrounds, she was overshadowed as the family matriarch.

So, she was exceedingly careful and reserved, lacking her past arrogance.

Seemingly aware of Jiang Fan’s gaze, Wang Yingfeng shuddered and hastily lowered her head, bowing, "Junior pays respect to Senior."

As her knees touched the ground, Jiang Fan casually raised her up, saying indifferently:

"We’re all family; Aunt needn’t be so formal."

He held no grudge against Wang Yingfeng, or rather, she wasn’t worth his resentment.

Just then.

The Chen Family, City Lord Mansion, and Detection Hall arrived upon hearing the news.

Jiang Fan simply received them together in the Xu Family guest hall.

To his father-in-law Xu Zhengyan, Jiang Fan was quite generous, helping him break through to the Core Formation Realm on the spot.

Likewise, for Chen Yuqiu, his prospective father-in-law, he wasn’t stingy, giving him abundant resources with a wave of his hand.

As for the City Lord Mansion, looking at the City Lord’s daughter Ye Qingxue, who gazed at him with reverence and awe, Jiang Fan realized Ye Qingxue had failed the Green Cloud Sect disciple assessment and returned to Lonely Boat City.

He immediately wrote a recommendation letter, saying:

"Take my letter to Green Cloud Sect and choose a Peak Master you like to apprentice under."

"If none appeal to you, choosing a Supreme Elder is also fine."

Ye Qingxue was speechless with excitement.

It was no recommendation letter; it was evidently a Holy Decree!

Holding the letter upon returning to Green Cloud Sect, those Supreme Elders would likely scramble over her just to gain Jiang Fan’s favor.

"Thank you, Senior Jiang."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "No need, you helped me back then too."

Ye Qingxue had formed the Shadow Guard, hiring him as Shadow Guard No. 1, allowing Jiang Fan to gain many opportunities.

Now he had repaid her.

After seeing off the guests, it was already nightfall.

After settling Gong Caiyi to sleep, Jiang Fan and Xu Youran strolled to Xu Youran’s former room.

The once modest room had been renovated into a luxurious suite, with no traces of its past appearance.

However, Jiang Fan would never forget Xu Youran taking out an old purse from a humble cabinet, placing it in Jiang Fan’s hands as a dowry for marriage.

That gesture lit an eternal beacon in the dark life of a downtrodden young man.

"Youran." Jiang Fan emotionally embraced her.

Xu Youran had already been moved by revisiting the past, eyes brimming with tears.

This was once their wedding room.

After returning after a long time.

Feeling Jiang Fan’s embrace, her heart resonated, shyly closing her eyes as Jiang Fan lifted her chin and leaned down to kiss her.

In the heat of the moment, two figures fell onto the matrimonial bed.

Soon, amid a long, piercing scream, the belated wedding night finally began.

One two-hour later.

Xu Youran’s damp hair stuck to her chest, dotted with bruises, her entire body aching.

She lightly hit Jiang Fan’s shoulder, softly complaining, "You’re exhausting me too much?"

"How does Yun Shang withstand you?"

Jiang Fan chuckled, "Too exhausting? This is just the beginning."

"The long night is still ahead, my dear, let’s continue."

He lowered his head and took True White.

As dawn broke, the storm showed no signs of abating.

Xu Youran said embarrassingly, "Fan, why do I feel like I can’t stop?"

Even though she was tired and wanted to stop, she couldn’t help it.

Jiang Fan smiled mysteriously, "Unable to stop is good! I want you to be pregnant too!"

Having long mingled with Yun Shang, he had a trace of Heavenly Fox Bloodline in his body.

And its effect was self-evident, it was no wonder Xu Youran couldn’t stop.

Soon, dawn arrived again.

Jiang Fan gazed at Xu Youran, limp like mud on the bed, in a deep sleep, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Rest here with Caiyi at the Xu Family. I will return soon."

He hadn’t forgotten that Tian Ge was still in the underground world.

This hidden danger needed eliminating.

Additionally, he had another mission in the underground world.

He had promised Yun Tianzhou to search for that sleeping Ancient Saint in the underground world after his Divinity Transformation.

Though the Ancient Giant war had ended, Jiang Fan wanted to fulfill the thousand-year wish of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s predecessors and find an answer.

Is there truly an Ancient Saint there?

And is the Ancient Saint as they say, capable of creating a path of hope for Central Earth?

Today, the answer shall be revealed.
